Re: The Poetry Battle - Vote here!

**RU Joe** · 07-11-2010, 08:02 PM

Ok here's where you vote for your favorite Warrior to date.
I have included a list of Everyone who posted in this thread whether they had contributed to the contest or not, allowing for those people to add a submission later if they wish.

In the interest of allowing for future participants in the Battle itself, votes made on members' submissions whose name does not appear on the poll will be counted towards their score by posting a
+1
and specifying who you want to vote for in a post on this thread.

Battle discussions and ribbing are also welcomed.
Enjoy, and good luck to all.

Why am I on the list? I posted in that topic but I never added any poetry.

Because you have a beard, remember...mere mortals fear the ALMIGHTY BEARD!!!!

**Dudebro** · 07-11-2010, 11:12 PM

The beard thing again?

**Demon-Mask** · 07-11-2010, 11:17 PM

So what, are you saying you'd look like Clint Eastwood if you shaved off your beard?
Or are you saying that you are as old as Clint Eastwood?

I understand why you'd get annoyed by the whole thing though.

**Dudebro** · 07-11-2010, 11:21 PM

I'm saying that's how I feel when people worship my facial hair. Clint is the barometer of my emotions.

**Demon-Mask** · 07-11-2010, 11:28 PM

I know that, just mentioning how it could be interpreted.
So, your emotions range from total apathy, to mild anger, to scary anger?

**TrakMastaTom** · 07-11-2010, 11:37 PM

I voted for myself, because I am a big fan of myself. And that also put me in the lead with a whoppin 2 votes!

YEEAH!

... so we'll leave the door open for you or any other members to jump right in if you want to.

He has emotions?
The man with no name wouldn't be the same
If he shed a tear it would be a shame

You said in the Poetry Battle thread that you're no good at poetry?
Well, neither am I, I can make a rhyme every time
but I'm no poet and you all know it.

It's true - us beardless guys tremble in fear at the sight of a mighty beard, mainly because we fear the fist that lies beneath.

I was going to vote for you TMT because I like your rhythm, but KV's joke about Iambic Pentameter made me laugh and tipped the scale in their favor.

**Chuck Norris** · 07-12-2010, 12:27 AM

@DB, not in a joking mood are we?

**Dudebro** · 07-12-2010, 01:27 AM

I thought I was joking?

To show I'm a good sport I'll bust out a rhyme in the spirit of the topic-

( Click to show/hide )

Btw who ever rated TMT down needs to lighten up, he's cheeky like that it's not arrogance.

**Demon-Mask** · 07-12-2010, 03:01 AM

Whether a vote is from arrogance, bias or simply a very technical analysis of a situation, you should always vote for who you think is the best.

**Dudebro** · 07-12-2010, 03:18 AM

Yeah I agree people should always vote for the best choice. Some people feel it's wrong to vote for yourself even if you think it's best though. It seems like TMT did vote for himself but I doubt he was very serious in his post. The rate down isn't a big deal but it was noticeable. I just wanted to let them know TMT is cool and it's all good.

**joz** · 07-12-2010, 08:16 AM

This poll is wack! It looks like there's just as much interest in this thread as the poetry battle thread.

I'm the Kanye West of this poetry battle ish.

**Chuck Norris** · 07-12-2010, 01:05 PM

@DB, you're such a card

@TMT He had my vote

Darn it, I knew I should have posted a picture of some girls in bikinis or something to draw the eye.
Hey - maybe I should have just titled the thread:

'GIRLS IN BIKINIS AND OTHER REVEALING GARMENTS'
.. that would have got people checking it out - well, maybe some of them.

You think I'm kidding?
Look at the movie having to do with Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols called 'Sid and Nancy', where in one scene the Sex Pistols are playing at a club and instead of advertising their show they had some guy outside yelling:

'All girls, all nude, all the time..'
and if it hadn't been for that we probably wouldn't have heard of them at all, much less them have gotten a contract with EMI.

So far as the poetry contest goes, I'm honing my latest entry right now.
I get the feeling there's a lot more interest than is apparent, and for example, people may be looking at what we've done so far and are feeling intimidated by it.
DB made a small poem here in this thread that I ranked up because it's good, and yet he said he thinks he's no good at poetry.

I think there are probably a lot of members who are feeling the same way, and I'm hoping that they will join us soon.

The thread is long from dead
it takes some time to make a rhyme
and extract it from your head.

**Dudebro** · 07-12-2010, 08:58 PM

My poem isn't good it's corny. That was my intent but either way, not that good. I just figured it was funny considering the Clint pics.

No, it was good.
Otherwise I wouldn't have ranked you up.
I think you should submit a poem about the Clintster, it'll be fun.
