Official Match Thread S18 Second Elimination Final: Coney Island Warriors vs Roys FFC at Van Cortlandt Park

[OrdinaryJoel]

Please. You think we're gonna be fit for any kinda work by the time we retire? Kfft. Unlikely.

As for treats for the kids. Well we've got a treat for you kids. An early holiday. You're welcome.

You wouldn't be working though. You'd all be delegating work from your deathbeds.

 

[El Dubya]

Go on.

fitzroybulldog I thought your side was bringing the class to this affair? For shame.

 

[zackah]

Go on.

Who said the Roys were most likely to suck it

I never said anything of the like.

 

[El Dubya]

[fitzroybowiedog]

Sorry. I'll do better.

I probably wont though

 

[zackah]

No one wants me to finish my limerick.

Take it to the limerick thread. We only work in haikus, iambic pentameter, beat or prose here.

Speaking of, your sig doesn't work as a haiku.

It does too. Shush you.

I mean

Neither does your face.

Can I finish any of those with "**** it"?

 

[El Dubya]

fitzroybulldog's side
Face the Warriors Sunday
Decimated Roys.







EDIT: Happy now pedantic old flog?

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

Fitzroybulldog's side
Face the Warriors Sunday
Decimated Roys.

There is no capital f in fitzroybulldog.

Zackah drinks Kool-Aid
And follows BigJoeD round
Not that much a ****.

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

I'm actually genuinely happy haikus are here.

 

[zackah]

Teachers take all the fun out of everything

When my class does poetry tomorrow I'll be able to explain how you can use them in the real world.
I have also written some very seductive love poetry in the past.

Interesting...

You job in this week's game is to come up with a seductive poem for your opponent. Not only would it disrupt his or her rhythm due to them falling in love with you, but it'll result in our victory!

Take one for the team bud.

I'll get on it when the team sheets come out.

Yay!! now i'm curious, why doesn't mine work.
i'm pretty sure i've adhered to the 5-7-5 form (unless i can't count), even though the Japanese On doesn't really work in English, and even Japanese poets are moving away from it too. I don't have the seasonal reference which is traditional.

you could always just write one for me?

Your final line should have kireji, or cutting. The idea is your first two lines contain images, then the final cuts between the two. I agree it doesn't translate perfectly to English, and I would also fail my attempts by the same standard.

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

Now is the final of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this El Dubya
And all the chides that lour'd upon our thread
From the deep thoughts of the bretheren
And I do love thee: therefore, write for me

Interesting, i'll keep that in mind. Thanks!!
Teachers are so much fun!!

Now is the final of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this El Dubya
And all the chides that lour'd upon our thread
From the deep thoughts of the bretheren
And I do love thee: therefore, write for me

But I'm too busy at this moment
To take the time to put pen to parchment,
And express my feelings, thus this lament,
All I have is bunk.

And I think of you fitzroybulldog
And your teammates with the intelligence of a log.
You could make your way out of the dense fog
To join the Warriors.

But this week we are foes,
On Sunday you will have only woes,
While we retreat to our tree of hoes,
Because we come out to play.

I'm applying to leave my fetid school,
Where even the brightest pupil is a fool,
And we really are in a genetic cesspool,
This poem is to procrastinate.
