Gala - I have only just read your article on Love Story - after I tagged my last post burn, baby, burn... Weirdness.
Kirk - thanks for all your hard work.
Gala - thanks for the contest idea.
Tanqueray Cowboy - Great job on the #1 pick for the challenge, brought back first year of college memories for me :)
Happy February all!
I've been asked to agent for a poet I know who just released his first book...(how cool is that) and apologize to the Blender folks and Kirk for being a bit of an airhead this weekend...
Kirk, you did a wonderful job! Thanks Kahuna...and congrats to EVERYONE who did the challenge. There were some awesome poems in there...proving that next time I must be even MORE fiendish and evil...
The ramble was largely me venting about love, true love...so if it was a bit off...you know why!
Lisa, the Gala
Inflatable/Indefensable Sushi:
I am sure Kirk knows already that I have never stolen any identity here. Any comment I have made to any of your usernames (new and old), Sushi, I have done so as Rhetoric. I know it is hard to believe, but I have more pressing tasks to accomplish than to think up clever ways to get attention. Often, you are entertaining-but mostly, you just embarass yourself and evoke pity from others. I do feel sorry for you that this is your only outlet for conversation. Actually, I owe no explaination to anyone except the owner of this site.
Great Blender this month. I don't know why I never commented on violet's piece, the cowboy is laughing, but it is wonderful. Great choice.
Madi, as always, you inspire: the ocean in me . The first two lines really get the reader with imagery.
Rhetoric
TJ~ You're too kind.
Kirk~ Thanks for putting me up there.
Kirk,
Your front page picks are great...congratulations to all those that made it...Reading everyone's work that entered Gala's challenge was and is always interesting...great creations by all...everyone's submissions keep me coming back for more...
God Bless Our Courageous Astronaunts and Their Families/Friends...

Sushi - Just because I want to clear up any doubt - I didn't steal your identity either.
Wow! Thanks Gala for the contest. Didnt expect to be there at all!
Congrats to all the front pagers too. Excellent picks Kirk
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those poor astronauts
Splatipus
You guys are all so fun!!!
Just to put in my two cents, cause now my curiosity is a little piqued.
Wasn't there some "big confession" at some point in the last three months or so that rhetoric and inflatable are one and the same?
Maybe not, probably not, **ughhh*, sorry, my life is pretty bluh right now, so I actually have nothing better to do than ask....lol.
Good Blender, and as always wonderful writing
Spaded
Hello to all and I wish that I may participate in this poetry forum (only not the political part). Is this site connected to any colleges or schools? Thank you, and I really enjoy many of the writers and stories here. I hope you will like what I hav to offer.
So sushi are you saying (Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk?), that if people opened thier eyes to see beyond thier own nose, maybe there wouldn't be so many assholes walking around in this world??
Where do you find this stuff...?
But seriously, folks...yet ANOTHER fish? Arghhh.
Spaded; There was a bru-ha-ha- but no I don't think Rhet and Sushi are one and the same.

The_poet,

Get real Sushi. It's kinda hard to feel bad for ya, since you are (after all) something of a king of multiple personae around here. How many of YOUR accounts has Kirk closed? Do you have enough fingers and toes to count? Besides, entertaining or not, you've brought a real rancor and meanness to this Board that has frankly put off many long-time regulars. "You may be right - but you can still be a real SOB" (to very loosely paraphrase Billy Joel--or was it Wittgenstein? It's late and I'm SO outta here.)
