SMAC Sonnet
Why are these forums so barren of new pride,
So far from variation and quick change?
Why with the time do we not glance aside
To new found subjects and HTML-tags strange?
Why write we boring crap, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every post doth almost tell our names,
Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?
O know sweet SMAC I always write of you,
And you and Civ are still my argument:
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.

sorry, Will, for using square words in your re-engineered sonnet...
Hey, cheer up, lads! Life is wonderful! I passed an exam today (managing human resources) and got to meet the professor for the first time. And you know what - I got 8 out of 10!!! I mean, I just met the guy...
I'll soon be off to drink beer and scare the shit out of downtown Vilnius by playing Sepultura on full volume in my car... Yeeehaaa!!!
And there is a huge party in Vilnius today - check it out on
Vilnius 2000
Onw of the flyers now became prime minister - does any of your countries get to see their prime ministers do aerobatics? That guy is a real pro.

Wow! Iambic pentameter too! I wrote a SMAC sonnet back when I returned to the old Test forums, but it was an insta-sonnet that just had the rhyme scheme and no rhythym. Though HTML in two syllables is a bit difficult- Hit-mil?
Good work, Saras. Have this glorified soccer ball to toss around for no apperant reason. (you'll understand when Star Wars comes out over there).

How can everything be all right when Manchester United just keeps winning ?
Our prime minister is a priest for chrissakes! His only redeeming feature is that he likes football (soccer).

Arrgh! He's not a priest, he's a minister in the (Lutheran) Church of Norway.

Studying HR? I do that.
Sepultura? I love that heavy music
Loud music screaming from car? Arrgh! me too.
Huge parties? My fave too. Yahoo!!
Aaaargh!
(puts on serious face)
Are you my clone?
I honestly didn't think anyone liked that combination of things.
