JTT seeks glory
By nipping at Lion's heels
Go bugger yourself!

Better. Following tradition, you've put a break between the second and third line. That's partly why the third line is effective. However, note that the first and second run together.

True

A better version

JTT seeks glory
The Lion notices the tick
Go bugger yourself!

I'm going to modify an old and famous haiku using your elements.

Old lion
JTT jumps in
Buggery!

What do you think?

I think you violated the syllabic rules, but I like it.

Thank you. It's not often I get the opportunity to have JTT sodomize a Texan.

Let's do this again sometime.

sodomize:
verb: practice anal sex upon
verb: copulate with an animal

You likely meant the latter, but either way, not even with a ten foot pole. I wouldn't shake his hand without a hazmat suit.

In the haiku, you are both animals. But of course, what other options are there?

I haven't met finn yet but when the time comes, I'll have not the slightest problem shaking his hand. We disagree often and he's a dick often but so are you and I.

Old lion
Toothless finn
Just lies
Lies
Lies

Not really, we just don't care.

Sour grapes?

It's clear Bush and his supporters don't care about much, least of all their reputations.

Hardly. I don't measure the effectiveness of our president by the extent or nature of his appeal to citizens of other nations. Afterall Europeans loved Clinton, and no doubt they would have loved Kerry too.

It shouldn't take a genius to realize that the perfectly valid self-interests of foreigners will dictate the extent of their regard for an American President and not their perception of how well he has protected and advanced the interests of America.

"Friends of Lola remain clueless as to the depth of disregard her posts have generated among A2K conservatives. Just ask anyone outside of her clique."

I suspect you don't care --- sour grapes?

Ooooouu. So defensive. But I'm not clueless. Seems I've hit my mark rather well. Can I have a bite too?

So responding to your insults is considered overly defensive? Interesting. A few people on A2K have gotten under my skin enough to cause me to stupidly overreact. You, Lola, are not one. You're more than welcome to bite me though.

And I would be happy to shake your hand blatham. You're too tough on yourself though, you are only a lit bit of a dick.

Lexington Steele might not agree with that.

I'm speaking up for him as I know he's a bit busy.

I stand corrected blatham - you are a very big dick indeed.

There you have it, in all senses of the word.

Just to close out this tread, this is just in on the usbf website

JOINT STATEMENT BY THE USBF BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE PLAYERS OF THE 2007 VENICE CUP-WINNING TEAM
The United States Bridge Federation (USBF) and the players on the US Venice Cup world championship bridge team are pleased to mutually announce that we have resolved all issues relating to events that occurred at the closing ceremony of the 2007 World Bridge Championship in Shanghai. We all believe that it is in the best interests of bridge to put this behind us so that we can focus on playing the game we love.

The USBF Board has dismissed all charges against the players on the Venice Cup team.


The players of the USA1 Venice Cup Championship team recognize that it is a legitimate request of the USBF, when sending teams to represent the United States, that all players refrain from using the stage for the Medal Ceremonies as a platform for anything other than receiving their medals.

For the future the USBF will make certain that the Guidelines are clearer as to what is expected.

We all look forward to resuming our mutual enjoyment of bridge and to working together to promote the game.
