SiG Lady Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 ...But, by the same token, the effortless way in which many of you whip out data and stats on reloading, competition, firearm specs, and every other aspect of the shooting sport/industry, serves to remind me that I have a daunting future ahead of me in the way of shooting. Your talents exceed mine at times; And just 'cause I scribble these rhymes Means little on range! (But things can sure change...!) So keep up your postings sublime.

tightloop Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 When you say you have problems as great as my own, I'm forced to admit that it's true But consider the fact, mine happen to me While your's only happen to you I know it isn't a limerick, but it was the best this right brained person could do on short notice. Just shows the advantage you have in the contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 I'm limerickly challenged - just what defines a limerick anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 Brought it back with my most brilliant hack to date. I'm actually feeling fairly froggy at the moment, because I have virtually no knowledge of perl/cgi whatsoever, but I'm really piecen' it together. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yes, it's a rhythm thing. RULE: ALL LIMERICKS MUST BE ORIGINAL. NO PLAGIARISM ALLOWED. Brian, thanx for hacking back the posts. I'd torn up and tossed the paper the lim'rix were written on, so... they were goners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what the heck are you talking about? Or did it "appear" after we lost this thread? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Some symbols don't take too kindly to being copied and pasted so I assumed that maybe some of the accent marks got changed in the operation. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 ...some kind of secret limerick-writing code.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Bagoly Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 ...some kind of secret limerick-writing code.... I have the American Heritage Dictionary left over from years ago. The Font that went with it is long gone, so thats the way it comes up. I think you would get the same effect, from pasting it into the forum. Please, save the award for an actual Limerick. No prize for a cheezy GIF, unless it rymes. Time limit- 1 day? 1 week? All Month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
