Time to say goodbye

[*Catbabe*]

We have a spanking box????

Of course, don't all poetry forums?

Only the better ones.

Of course, don't all poetry forums?

You mean that box I've been poking all my suggestions in is The Spanking Box???

No wonder no-one's cottoned to any of my ideas like free coffeee and donuts with every thread started, or same sex washrooms in the am-pic board.

 

[echoes_s]

Tristesse, the spanking box is delightful. Just relax and let the heat flow through you

oops, almost makes me sound like a veteran at this!

I'll let you practice on me in there k?

and careful with the claws, you don't know what that does to me...I can be really weird

 

[echoes_s]

Thanks everyone

I thought I had really commited a faux pas here and would have missed everyone of you, Saturday nights would have been empty, I would have had to stop listening to jazz and blues again, because it would haunt me too much and writing would never be the same.

...you guys really made an impact in my life and with writing!

I didn't realize just how much until now

Glad you decided to stay

I'm afraid of the washrooms in the am-pic thread.

Ok, I just came home from a night of beer, more beer, the first Real Cigar I've had in years, shitloads of red wine and blacik russians in a spirit heaving marathon, so forgive me for not getting anything at the moment:

Is or was Echoes upset over something? (Don't, you're my hero and I adore everything you write.)

Doesn't everyone plagarize everyone else all the time? I know I do, and I'm fucking proud of it too.

What's with all the spanking?

gawd, my head is spinning...

roaring drunk hugs to everyone

I had to repost this from the Blues Poetry Challenge thread for those who may have missed it. (Echoes, you need a blues name. Follow the instructions.)

How to sing the Blues . . . A Primer

1) Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."

2) "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, 'less you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."

3) The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes . . . sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."

4) The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.

5) Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft an' state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.

6) Teenagers can't sing the Blues. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.

7) Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada [****Ange's note--but we'll make special sanctions for GP and the very lovely darkmaas****]. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.

8) A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is.

9) You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.

10) Good places for the Blues: a) Highway; b) Jailhouse; c) Empty bed; d) Bottom of a whiskey glass. Bad places for the Blues: a) Dillard's; b) Gallery openings; c) Ivy League institutions; d) Golf courses

11) No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it.

12) Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if a) You older than dirt; b) You blind; c) You shot a man in Memphis; d) You can't be satisfied. No, if a) You have all your teeth; b) You were once blind but now can see; c) The man in Memphis lived; d) You have a 401K or trust fund.

13) Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues.

14) If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are a) Cheap wine; b) Whiskey or bourbon; c) Muddy water; d) Nasty black coffee. The following are NOT Blues beverages: a) Perrier; b) Chardonnay; c) Snapple; d) Slim Fast.

15) If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broken down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or getting liposuction.

16) Some Blues names for women: a) Sadie; b) Big Mama; c) Bessie; d) Fat River Dumpling

17) Some Blues names for men a) Joe; b) Willie; c) Little Willie; d) Big Willie

18) Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

19) Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a) Name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.); b) First name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi, etc.); c) Last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.); d) For example, Blind Lime Jefferson, Jake leg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")

20) I don't care how tragic your life, if you own a computer, you cannot sing the blues [****Other Ange note: screw this. I have 3 computers in my house, and in spite of various entries above, they are in fact a major source of my blues.****]

This ain't no how 'the blues'

Oh I ain't singin' no muddy water blues
No I ain't singin' those muddy water blues
Cause I got Perrier water ta choose,
And I ain't wearin' them blue suede shoes.

Oh I ain't cryin' no beat up truck blues
No I ain't cryin' those beat up truck blues
Cause I got an Explorer that's in the news
And I ain't payin' hard time dues

Oh I ain't broke,
Cause my Trust Fund just matured.
Yeah it's no joke,
I'm Canadian, haven't you heard?
Gallery happenings on opening night
Champagne and caviar treatin' me right
Right there with the well-to-dos
Wearin' designer Gap-trendy-wanker denim blues.

There ain't no way I can find the blues.
No there ain't no way I can find the blues.
There be looks in the family tree,
And my luck is damned good, don't ya see?
And my baby's so fuckin' sexy,
He be lovin'
Nobody else.......
but
Me!

Oh I ain't singin' no Angeline Blues
No I ain't singin' no Angeline Blues
Cause I got lovin friends in alla you's
And I ain't singin'
No I ain't cryin'
I ain't singin' no Angeline..........
Blues.

Damn! I'm all sorts of confused. I think I get the gist of it, though. Echoes was going to leave, but you lovely poets talked her out of it (THANK GOD! ) and Liar was passing out roaring drunk hugs & I missed it. (DAMN!)
