Webmaster can we either delete or fold into one thread the multiple Dr. Rauh- themed threads?

They're almost as bad as the multiple haiku threads

I, for one, welcome our new Dr. Rauh forum overlords.

Just so long as there's no haiku

Dr. Rauh threads should be welcomed. You don't have to read them all. It just goes to show the true support for a man that has put much of his life on hold so that all of us could have ours.

Wow Kyle, I see you and I share our love for the forums. I check it, when I am home, about every 5 minutes... You?

Don't you live in Seattle and have never been to Miles City, Kyle? Have you ever met Dr. Rauh?

Josh, usually it's a couple times an hour for me. If there's a hot-button topic (or if I feel the need to ramble) it's considerably more than that.

Just ask Brian Reed

Sorry Cheryl, the post was meant to be funny and not a knock on Dr. Rauh.

Ah-OK-I see. One of my relatives works/ed(past tense right now) for him so I am sort of over-sensitive about the whole topic too. Sorry!

Silly, foolish man!
To spit at Haiku gods
Is to flirt with DOOM!

Just so long as there's no haiku

Haiku will not stop
Until your impudence does
It's perpetual

Regret mockery
You will when you are compressed
Into soul-brick form

Hey Hal!!! We got an outbreak of haiku over here. Can you send in a battalion of your feral feline gunslingin' exterminator smiley thugs over here to clean the place up?

"Bring it!" says Brian
When Haiku is threatened by
Friends or foes alike

Hey, Hurry up Hal!
Haiku is happening here.
Can nothing stop it?

Short of creating a new "Dr. Rauh" Forum, there's not much I can do.

Now look what you did ... you started a whole new Haiku thing. Remember the word to avoid (no matter how it is spelled) is "Haiku".

Ha ha ha ha ha!
I read Kyle's plight and chortle!
Flummox him I shall.

There is no stopping

"Basta!" is the best way to say
"Enough already!"

The French say, "Tant pis!"
and laugh at your impudence.
So tire-toi, morpion!

Brian,

I suspect you've probably noticed my lack of enthusiasm for inelegant, poorly crafted haiku and have interpreted that to mean that I don't appreciate Haiku . . . quite the contrary.

When well-crafted - it is a most elegant and expressive art form. I believe it is that very elegance and craft that I most appreciate (and so often find lacking in what is too often passed off as haiku).

After all, most anyone can count syllables and if they cannot, there are websites that will do that for them. But as most everyone knows, there is a universe of depth in Haiku that goes beyond simple counting.

Anyways . . . good luck in achieving your goal of being number one poster here. As Red Green says, "Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together."

Dammit, Wendy! You made me Google "morpion." Eww.

No more "morpion"
"Morphodite" would be better
I am now crabby

Thanks for the explanation, Hal. I appreciate it. Now, can you get back to posting humorous images and links of (questionable) local interest? I kid because I care, of course.

The reason I post H/haiku of (equally questionable) quality is because I am making an effort to keep my posts short. I've had some epics in the past and I've found that much of what I write is lost on those with short attention spans. I've adapted.

I still suffer from a compulsion to post what's on my mind, so the result is a higher volume of shorter posts.

Long story short: I work nights. I get bored when it's slow. It's been slow.

Besides, my H/haiku isn't any worse than Richard's jokes.

>>Now, can you get back to posting humorous images and links of (questionable) local interest?

Got one coming up Brian - hold on to your hat.

Consider my Sox cap epoxied and riveted to my scalp.

Knowledge is good, Brian. BTW, morpion only has two syllables. It's pronounced mor-pyon. Pyon is one syllable. Isn't learning fun?

Hal, I must admit that I Haiku simply because it is fun. I know that my Haiku does not comply with the classical form and frankly, I don't think I'd be any good at crafting a true Haiku. But I see your point, too. I will try to restrain myself a bit but I can't promise you the moon.

Keep your stick on the ice.

I always try to Wendy.

Is that show still on?


Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati.

It is here, Hal. Are you handsome or handy?

I've sometimes been called handy (especially with duct tape work), but no one has ever accused me of being handsome.

Are you often mistaken for Peter Boyle? If not, count your blessings.

I don't understand the haiku obsession. I don't mind it, I just really don't understand why they are so amazing.

1.) They're fun.
2.) They're silly.
3.) They make me laugh (and maybe one or two other people, too).
4.) They're a running joke and my standard response to other forms of ridiculousness.
5.) At their best, they provide a succinct way to make a point.

They're kind of like my version of bacon-themed threads.

Ok that makes sense I guess...I was looking at it more as a piece of english homework than a fun hobby. haha
