A Forum Tribute (by way of Haiku)

[The Yugoslavian]

So, I reached Pooh-Bah too quickly and didn't prepare anything uber-cool or uber-sweet to post. However, I took a few moments today to reflect on my time in this forum and all I have read. These following Haikus are the result of my meditations:

<font color="red">
Remember William?
Who has heard of Stagemusic?
They all live on here.
</font>
<font color="blue">
Where has CrisBrown gone?
What happened to you Frozen?
How about Pitcher???
</font>
<font color="red">
Ultimate throwback
Before this forum was here:
Craig H. vs. Raymer! /images/graemlins/grin.gif
</font>
<font color="blue">
Yay Praying Mantis!
Folding equity divine,
I am on the path.
</font>
<font color="red">
That Eastbay is dope,
Not just because of his home,
His math is sexy.
</font>
<font color="blue">
Jason Strasser rulez!
‘Any two baby’ is cool
Uh-oh I got called.
</font>
<font color="red">
Gigabet knows all
But his visit was too short.
Where are his brothers??
</font>
<font color="blue">
I cannot forget,
About Aleo Magus.
More than just spreadsheets.
</font>
<font color="red">
How about a name,
For beloved ICM:
The Bozebaygrinder?
</font>
<font color="blue">
This forum was lame,
Until the Yugoslav came.
Three cheers for Yugo! /images/graemlins/wink.gif /images/graemlins/wink.gif
</font>
<font color="red">
Irie is profound,
Wit and strategy for all.
Put that hookah down!
</font>
<font color="blue">
Desdia I miss,
For he would cause brilliant flames,
Followed by insight.
</font>
<font color="red">
Suited is the man,
The master of avatars
And a good father.
</font>
<font color="blue">
Raptor is a punk!
My favorite maniac.
Holla, 3uo.
</font>
<font color="red">
Hey Lori, Lori!
Please change your avatar back,
So happily cute. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
</font>
<font color="blue">
Dali, so funny.
Please don’t fold aces preflop.
The worst fold ever!
</font>
<font color="red">
Sixteen hundred posts,
Far too many were bad jokes, /images/graemlins/frown.gif
Redouble my efforts.
</font>
<font color="blue">
This forum is best
And a secret from the rest.
I hope you see why.
</font>
<font color="red">
Philly, Adanthar,
Without the two of you here,
Who could play postflop??
</font>
<font color="blue">
C’mon curtains, man!
Hook a brother up with sis,
Promise I won’t fold, /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

<font color="red">
Forum Bot Skipper,
You are hilarious man:
‘Pinko, commy, [censored]!’ /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ursher who here knew?
Pai Gow was so fun to watch!
Wasn’t my money, /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Zen you must post here!
You read this every day,
Yet you are silent, /images/graemlins/mad.gif.

TJ? Caffione?
PM, Easty, Bozeman, please!
Nothing else you need.

Haiku: the shortest form of Japanese poetry. Centers on some aspect of spirituality and provokes an emotional response in the reader

No one has yet to
Compose a Haiku so far
Can Yugo see why?

I'm pretty sure mine fits this description.

Haiku: the shortest(Mine was short) form of Japanese(I'm 1/3 Japanese) poetry. Centers on some aspect of spirituality(doing it) and provokes an emotional response in the reader(wanting to do it)

[Apathy]

Congrats on the quick Poo-bah status Yugo, I appreciate your posts.

Now that you're big time we better not lose you to OOT...

[microbet]

Of all of our dear forum's hosts
Poor Yugo has suffered the most
upon him abuse has been heaped
in turn, grace we have reaped?
ok, well we did get 1600 posts

and

Yugo you did take some time
Your tribute was fine
but why all haiku?
is it that you
were too lazy to rhyme?

and

There once was a very nice fellow
When called commie f.a.g. he was mellow
He's the forum star
with the wild avatar
And he's one hell of a post-ho

All in good fun. Congrats.

[iMsoLucky0]

You've hurt me for the last time.

So now....

This makes me sad, /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

I had a very spiritual experience writing these Haikus and infusing them with my spiritual energy. I poured my heart and soul into them...delving deeply in a reflective meditation on my STT journey over the past several months, truly connecting with my posting roots.

And you felt *nothing* reading them?!

I have let you down sensei....I will fully center myself next time and reach even deeper.

No Haiku for you!

[PrayingMantis]

Congrats on getting your pooh-bah, Yugo. Very nice tribute, and the names really bring back memories... Pitcher, where are you? I remember he beat me HU at the end of a 2+2 SNG (during the golden era, where you could *almost* meet Raymer there...) only I didn't know it's him, since he played under a different name, neutron999 or something. So when I discussed the game here later on I said some nasty stuff about the random (i.e, non 2+2) luckbox that somehow managed to win the game. Then he suddenly exposed himself as being Pitcher. Pretty embarassing for me.

Also, do you remember ddubois?

<font color="blue"> ddubois so unlucky
fish suck out always
if you reply i ignore
</font>

Actually, some of this guy's posts were the reason I decided to write some coherent stuff about FE, and to my surprise it seemed as if it was the first time some people actually realized what it means - which was flattering but also scary in a way.

Edit: only to make it clear - the above is not a haiku but a reverse haiku (7-5-7), kind of like the implied odds of Japanese poetry.

Ahhh yes. Desdia was more my time and will always have a special place in my STT memories, but there always seems to be one and often he/she leads to *the* best posts from the heavyweight posters who get fed up with the stupidity.

Glad you liked the blast from the past, /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Who wasn't even reading the 2+2 forum when many of these ghosts were in their heyday, /images/graemlins/shocked.gif.

Yugo is Pooh-Bah.
Way too much time on his hands.
Haiku this, bee-otch.

[iMsoLucky0]

Ugh, guess the sarcasm detector was off tonight. I could never ignore you, yugo. You bring so much to this forum.

I was just dissapointed that I was not worthy to be included in your post /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[SuitedSixes]

I'm sure you would have been if you still had the funny-kid-getting-hit-in-the-head avatar.

What's Haiku ?

Like Top Rammen ?

[stupidsucker]

I didnt even read any of the replies.


I am too pissed off.

I feel you Martin... Now I feel you...


Jesus even Desdia got a poem...

Where is the love ????

<font color="white"> I WANT MY NUTS HUGGED TOO!</font>

[stupidsucker]

In retrospect however..

Does anyone else notice who Yugo admires the most? I mean... Its evidently clear he has a crush on someone...

I didnt realize it was this kind of party... Well forget it then.



Now I am waaay to jealous to even think about it.

I don't know who you mean, but I'm going to go with the least obvious guess. Lorinda.

[The Yugoslavian]

Yeah, I missed tons of posters....oh well. As I mentioned, I basically did those up for a Pooh-Bah post so I could get on with posting strategy (which is my bread and butter/claim to fame /images/graemlins/wink.gif ).

So....while I was quite inspired, I left out way too many posters. These are for you SS /images/graemlins/smile.gif :

Does this mean I hold 'high standing'? Sweeeet! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Also, Skipper, your next challenge is to view threads in 'flat' mode to save you the perceived need to post almost the same thing twice...
