Doggerels and Poems



Recently, I was involved in a heated, passionate, steamy, sultry...debate about what is a poem and what is a doggerel. I don't want to name any names, but Laurel claimed that Dr. Seuss's creations were doggerel and not poetry. I thought long and hard after on what makes a doggerel and what makes a poem, and I realized--it had all had to do with the TITLE!!! The title of the literary piece makes all the difference. As illustrated below.


I've figured it out. Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, et al can go suck it.

What I Learned From Tron: Legacy

I learned that this is the only genetically flawless woman:
And that there are no genetically flawless men.

Also, I learned that Star Wars happens in space, and in computers.

Solitaire

Some of you don't believe that I am a deity of card games. Some of you claim that a 4 moonshot win is better than a 1 moonshot win. Some of you claim that boredom trumps natural, unadulterated, innate, incontrovertible talent. Well, I have something to say to some of you. Over. Nine. Thousand. That's right: on the first game, over 9000 points. What else can I say? Bring it. Game on.

Hearts

Possibly one of my greatest life achievements--a win in hearts via moonshot. Neil Armstrong got nothing on this.

Choose Compassion! And Fairness! And Equality! And un-Hypocrisy-ness!

I saw this ad about choosing vegetarianism the other day (well, actually, like 15 minutes ago) and thought that it really was lacking something. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the message was ambiguous. I felt like it was accusing us of being omnivores and was pointing out the hypocrisy of eating one but not the other. Personally, I don't approve of eating kittens, but I also don't want to be a hypocrite. This group just put me in a moral dilemma. The top ad is the original, but I think the bottom two remove all hypocrisy and ambiguity. Either eat'em all or not at all. That even rhymes!
