15,000 posts, eh? Guess that means it's poetry time again. Sorry, everyone.
Another posting milestone passed
and yet each post could be my last;
For any day now I might leave,
and find new interwebs to weave.
I could get out and try new things
and not just sit here clicking links,
Like cooking, singing, darts or dance,
or doing weightlifts in my pants,
or even learning the trombone,
and not just /talking in my home.
Of course we know that's not my way,
And so I'll stay another day,
But I'd disappear in clouds of smoke
If 'tweren't for all you lovely folks.

I started it about half an hour ago
and finished 10 minutes ago.

I keep missing my milestones, and b3tadays.

(Dave Trouser is here, what now?, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:35, archived)

My 4th b3taday is approaching rapidly.
I don't know what to do for it - another poem, I guess. That seems to be what I do.
I'm ignoring gluey's suggestion down there.

do a song
I'll sing it with you :)
( Jadeviper wants to make songs with people, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:39, archived)

I will consider this option!
I'll start working on some lyrics.
( Aardvark is a deus ex machina, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:41, archived)

excellent plan.
here is an example of a song what was written for me by another b3tan (it still needs backing vocals and a bass line)

Whoa, that's like a proper song.
I was expecting something of B3tavision standard.
( Aardvark is a deus ex machina, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:47, archived)

I was part of a b3tavision attempt too
but we didn't get organised enough in time so missed out
( Jadeviper wants to make songs with people, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:49, archived)

Well, maybe I'll write a song
but there's no way I'll sing with you. You might catch Shit Singing Voice off me, and that'd be a terrible shame.

that piece is a fine jigsaw
- I can't sing two lines in tune in a row :P

right, I'm off to bed. night night folks

Night night.

A PICTURE POEM.

I ain't never done been on that there /board

Who said it had to go on /board?

Not compared to some users.
Yourself, for example.

ahhh, but I've been here a long long time

( Jadeviper wants to make songs with people, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:38, archived)

and I thought you'd left.
I guess I've just been on at odd times.

Hello.
(Dave Trouser is here, what now?, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:41, archived)

I had a lengthy haitus
and I'm not usually on this late. I'm about to go to bed, Mr V is gently snoring and occasionally grumbling at me.
( Jadeviper wants to make songs with people, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:42, archived)

Ah, so I wasn't imagining your absence.
Alrighty then.
(Dave Trouser is here, what now?, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:44, archived)

not many people missed me
*schniff*
( Jadeviper wants to make songs with people, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:45, archived)

Stuj and I did.
We made aeroplane noises whilst you were away.
(Dave Trouser is here, what now?, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:45, archived)

yay! :D

That's a nice way to celebrate.

Well it's what I did for 5000, and 10,000.
It seemed fitting.
( Aardvark is a deus ex machina, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 0:39, archived)

Well it's more than I did.
Keep it going.

You could have made a 'mash up' of your 5000 and 10,000 poems
That would be very 'now'
( Malaka watches channel zero, Wed 9 Jul 2008, 1:02, archived)

Sadly, I can find no record of the poem I wrote for my 10,000th post.
This makes me sad.

That's brilliant man.

I'm replying to your post
but I'm actually addressing darkphoenix. Hello, you dirty lurker.

I was excited to see that I had a response from rnuk, but then I read it, and my heart broke.
I will never be the same again.

He hasn't even acknowledged all the replies to his story request.

That's IT. I'm boycotting rnuk now.

I was playing GTA IV
I shot a tank of propane, which caused a barbecue to fly across the roof it was on, set someone on fire and knock them off the roof, in a building like 200 fucking floors high, showing, from the best angle, their flaming fall to their death and screams of pain and horror.

Fuck yes!

( B.T., Wed 9 Jul 2008, 1:09, archived)

I've had lots of moments like that in GTA IV
but the biggest laugh out loud moment for me:
I drove like a maniac along a road and ploughed my car into the wall of a building, right next to a woman. She jumped, and then exclaimed "that's it, I'm buying a gun!" before wandering off.
Don't know why, but that really tickled me.
