I hope you don't think I was serious? Only West Virginians, Virginians, and Georgians allow incest.

Actually, I normally hear the joke and/or insult applied to Alabama.

I'm suprised my haiku didn't make warbler explode.

Beware of the name
Alone evokes harsh feelings
Quoth the name, Jimbo

lash of wind ,
sweep of hair,
sent of sweat,

Like infernal wheels of industry,
mililary minds move,
mimmicing, mocking,
moving with grace,

like gladiators in the colossium,
wills clash,
Sacrifices are made,
Check mate,

another game...

tell me what did you think the poam was about half way through.

Last line had six... Mil-en-i-um-Fal-con

Chaltab, your middle line ("Are rousing much ire in me") has 8 in it as well... are-rous-ing-much-i-re-in-me

Lose the "much".

Isn't "Ire" just pronounced like "fire" without the f?

Yeah, but that's two syllables. Pronounced "I-uhr." Not "ir." Fire is two syllables as well. "Fi-uhr."

I counted as mi-le-nium fal-com. I'm not so good with sylable separation with non-latin languages, there are no defined "rules".

Ni-um is two syllables. It's pronounced Nee-uhm. The only way to come close to consolidating that into one syllable is to say "nyum" which is more than just a bit awkward.

Okay, apparently no knowledge of Monty Python either. Boy, you need to rent yourself some movies this weekend.

I tried to watch Holy Grail in my Sophomore English class but it was so stupid that I started drawing and shut it out.
