Stop Hateing!

[Mr. Hamrick]

i had to login real quick just to say the following:

THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS KANSAS FOR BEATING MEMPHIS IN OT

I am all for the idea of a fantasy football league but the problem is that I am more into NCAA than NBA or NFL. 

Why does it not surprise me that Spud would cheer for the Gators.  Some people have no taste.


Oh and anyone have any favorites in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

[murs47]

Oh c'mon, where's the love for baseball? :huh:

[yell0w_lantern]

Where is the "spell-check" is the real question.

With a heave and a ho and a mighty throw
We threw it out the window!

No, that one we locked in the basement.

It is filled with low-pitched resonant string instruments!

The Memphis Tigers is a Basketball team that is in the Final Four Big Head. :angry: :angry: :angry:

I've never heard of the "Final Four Big Head"...Is that some sort of play-off thingy?

Dana :wacko:

[cmdrkoenig67]

But it's April....  :blink:

...the cruelest month (also, coincidentally, National Poetry Month).  ^_^

Cruel because the poetry all about pain and suffering, or that it's just really crappy?

I bet it's the "April Showers" that make it the cruelest month.

Dana :P

[djfredski]

So cruel. :(

[ow_tiobe_sb]

So cruel. :(

to be kind...

Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote
The drogte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendered is the flour;
Whan Zephirus with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halve cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(so priketh him Nature in hir corages);
Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne hawles, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond to Cauntebury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

Arrgh!  More misspellings!  Let this thread die, please!

[spoiler]Okay, I know that that's the way they spelled things back then.  I also know that by and large people often made up their own spelling because there were no dictionaries to speak of.  And in some other context, say a literary one, I wouldn't blink.  But if the point of this thread is to drive BlueBard nuts with horrible spelling, it's working.[/spoiler]

[ow_tiobe_sb]

Arrgh!  More misspellings!  Let this thread die, please!

I'm afraid it simply won't die--and, even if it did, it would not stay dead--hence the cruelty of the month:
[spoiler]

Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et c.u.m. illi pueri dicerent:
Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: αποθανειν θέλω.

I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD

April is the cruellest month, breeding   
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing   
Memory and desire, stirring   
Dull roots with spring rain.   
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding   
A little life with dried tubers. ...

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow   
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only   
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,   
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,   
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only   
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),   
And I will show you something different from either   
Your shadow at morning striding behind you   
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;   
I will show you fear in a handful of dust. ...

Unreal City,
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,   
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,   
I had not thought death had undone so many.   
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,   
And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.
Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,   
To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours   
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.   
There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying 'Stetson!   
'You who were with me in the ships at Mylae!
'That corpse you planted last year in your garden,   
'Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?   
'Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?   
'Oh keep the Dog far hence, that's friend to men,   
'Or with his nails he'll dig it up again!
'You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!'
