Take one of the icons below and highlight it with your mouse; a miraculous transformation occurs (at least on my Windows box):

:) -- turns into a broody thing.

;) -- a broody thing with a black eye

:o -- a mad shouting thing

:( -- a shy, questioning thing; also, "please don't hurt me"

:D -- a warped thing with shattered teeth

:cool: -- a thinker

:p -- a demented grin

:rolleyes: -- a really snotty Grey-looking thing

:mad: -- makes it even meaner

:confused: -- holding back but ready to explode

Eh...a quick thrill at best. I want poetry, Boris. Give us some heart, man.

Here's a template:

Thrill us with some insight. I will return with one of my own if you write one for this board.

Doesn't work for me - and I needed a 'thrill'.

boris, as intelligent as you might seem, talking about brain waves and crap, you seem to smoke a lot of crack.

Hey, leave Boris alone. He has some interesting stuff to share. I would like to see his imagination, however. Give us a poem, Boris!

Cris, isn't that avatar called "Thumper?" I haven't seen Bambi in many years, but that rabbit lokks familiar.

To Bowser, with reverence and praise,
Address I this most humble composition.
With his request he set my mind ablaze --
Like science at the hands of Inquisition.

With staves of gold he nailed me to this cross,
And left me little choice but to deliver
My Sermon on the Mount to all those
Who would in rapt attention persevere.

So hear Ye these words of Holy Lore,
Descending from a mouth high and holy.
And keep them in your hearts forever more,
For they shall save you from all harm and folly:

The reason why the chicken crossed the road
Is hidden deep within the Bible Code.

Bowser,

Yup that's Thumper.

it might be a little late boris, but you are quite a talented wordsmith.
that's all, just appreciative,
thnx
