That post could have been a haiku Frank, if only for the
tag.
I can never remember the form. But I could do limericks:
There once was a thread named bureaublahblah
Where Buffistas hashed out their own law
The posts went to ten-
thousand and then
A new thread then opened its maw.
Frank, if you write <br> at the end of a line, it would put whatever is after it at the following line. So
blah <br>blah
is
blah
blah
I can never remember the form.
It's five syllables
Then it's seven syllables
Finally five more
(Jon's Haiku is much more Haikuier than mine, though)
Also, if you want to make a fake HTML tag like
t br
or
t weeps
or what have you, there is quick edit for that. You start new line by using your "enter" or "return" key, type a lower-case
t,
then a space, then the text you want in the tag. Hit return again, right after that, so that your whole post doesn't doesn't end up in the tag.
Just getting in my end o' thread post. Because I can. Though I can't think of haikus. I'm not sure I even remember the syllabic form for haikus.
My favorite haiku:
One, two, three, four, five;
one, two, three, four, five, six, sev....
Shit; that's too many!
My writing is bad
I just want to say good-bye
In haiku for you
t / sad attempt
ETA - I know /=end - duh
Farewell, Bureau 2!
More rule-type talk coming up.
Hello, Bureau 3!
(lexine, not a haiku, and not really the thread for it, but I wanted to let you knew I'm sending you all the ~ma in the world. Having a seriously ill parent and an ill child at the same time, is a special kind of Hell. Take care of yourself, to the extent you can.)
It's Bureaublahblah!
What will the next thread be called?
Bureaublahblahblah?
Bureau 3 to come
Maybe this time, we can spend
More posts naming it.
