We'll try to accomodate your schedules." Rhayden warms up. "Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi..." Walker says, "Do me so fa *croak*" Walker ribbits unhappily. Elvira trembles Marretta ponders frog legs. Nyssa says, "Egads, you want a parking ticket summary too?" Nyssa tehe's Cecilia laughs at Nyssa. Walker hops onto Marretta's head with a mighty leap. Walker does the Smacks (tm) rabbit dance (tm) Marretta says, "Hey! Watch the beret!" Nyssa does the (tm) dance. Walker nibbles on the black beret. Mmm... Velvet. Rhayden doesn't dance. 15 left feet. :( Cecilia says, "And oh yeah, the date of your last ovulation and zodiac sign of your firstborn." Javelin prefers raspberry. Marretta giggles. Javelin last ovulated in 1683. Cecilia makes a note. Walker has yet to ovulate. and he so wants to become a real woman! Nyssa forgot...Does that count? ;) Cecilia mutters to herself, "... subject delusional... thinks he was a woman in previous life. ... call Shirley McLean for consult." Rhayden glances down at himself. "Does this make me look fat?" Nyssa says, "No her, she's sane." Elvira has disconnected. Elvira has connected. Nyssa grins Elvira grumbles Javelin whispers, 'female rabbit' Elvira says, "I keep getting kicked" Nyssa says, "AOheLl?" Walker is a frog, he can't kick you. look at the human. over there. Cheetah sees Walker ponder, 'Female? Ribbit!' Announcement: Marretta shouts, "The Poetry/Open Mic Event is about to begin in the Mudtoberfest Pavillion. All are welcome to present original work or to just come and listen and snap some applause!" Rhayden hides behind the frog. "Wasn't me." Walker . o O ( Female? Ribbit! Beer? RIBBIT!! ) Elvira ohs Elvira says, "You people are freaking me out" Nyssa heh's Rhayden says, "I am who I am. Deal with it. :)" Nyssa thinks of using /gag Cheetah says, "Cool, usually it's the other way 'round *runs*" Walker isn't the highest paid employee of Javelin's freak show for no reason... Nyssa smiles Elvira eyes Walker, "I better consult my union" Rhayden sticks his head inside Walker's mouth. "Ta-da!" Nyssa consults her onion. Walker croaks. Rhayden foos at the bad breath. Elvira feels her chin, "Bah, my beard's not growing quick enough" Walker says, "Rhayden tastes worse than a horse fly!" Rhayden consults the Magic 8-Ball he finds inside Walker.

Present: Julian, Marretta, Javelin, Nyssa, Churten, Cheetah, Elvira, Rhayden, Walker. Nyssa says, "And don't forget your great great grandmother's maiden name." Walker croaks, "yip yo ho! let's get started." Nyssa giggles Rhayden doesn't know his great grandmother's maiden name, and is thus voted off the island. Javelin voted the island off first. Elvira says, "Rhayden, you are the weakest link. Goodbye ;)" Nyssa says, "That's Great Great, dear. ;)" Walker votes the host off. Rhayden still doesn't know. Cecilia pulls a mic from somewhere and jams it into the ground at a convenient spot. Elvira screams, "My foot!" Walker always wanted to see the survivor contestants vote the cameramen and host off. Marretta giggles nervously. Cecilia says, "Ok, folks, gather round. Its open mic night at the M*U*S*H Mudtoberfest!" Cecilia giggles at Elv, and moves the mic. Rhayden w00ts! Nyssa smiles and politely quiets down. Walker cwoakth, "my thongue! Cheetah cheers. Javelin admires Walker's thong. Churten hurrahs Nyssa lets go a smirks Walker likes his thong. better off than on, though, as it looks weird on top of my jeans and shirt outfit. Cecilia says, "Marretta and I, as cohosts of this event, would like to thank you all for coming. We have a fun lineup tonight, and we're looking forward to hearing/reading your efforts. I'm logging the event, and once its edited, we'll see about putting it on the mush webpage for future generations to marvel at." Nyssa applauds Elvira applauds respectfully Cecilia says, "So grab a patch of grass, set yourself down, and we'll get started!" Rhayden throws his fist in the air like that black dude who's name I've forgotten. Rhayden says, "Arsenio" Walker says, "Lookee son, way back in 2001, I wrote this poem that was enjoyed by thousands... err.. hundreds... err.. dozens... ok, by someone on m*u*s*h..." Cecilia says, "Our first contributor tonight comes all the way from the isle of Guernsey .... give it up for ELVIRA!" Cheetah cheers. Elvira trembles Marretta woots! Churten cheers Rhayden cheers Cecilia claps and steps away from the mic. Walker grabs a patch of grass with a quick rip, accidentaly tripping Elvira. Nyssa claps loudly Walker sits down, clapping. Elvira falls onto the stage over Walker and snags her gown Nyssa holds Walker's tongue. Elvira pulls herself together and stands up, "Hi everyone.. Um, I've got three poems to read to you today. Hopefully they won't bore you too much" Cheetah sits down, hoping there's not an anthill where he's sitting now. >From the south, Taladan enters the fairground of the MUDtoberfest! Taladan approaches from the south. Taladan has arrived. Elvira says, "the first one is called 'Guardian Angel'" Elvira says, "Last night I dreamt of a boy I once knew He didn't know me." Elvira says, "In my dream I felt drab. bleak. He comforted me" Elvira says, "In my dream All comfort. all peace. was gone. All hope. lost." Elvira says, "In my dream An arm platonic and warm Around my shoulders" Elvira says, "In my dream My tears rained down like hard. spent. pennies. On wet. cold. pavement." Elvira says, "In my dream He said to me I could be whatever I wanted to be Because my character was strong" Elvira says, "My eyes opened What was there for me to achieve?" Elvira takes a slight bow Walker applauds. Beautiful. Javelin snaps. Marretta snaps! Rhayden clicks his fingers. Cecilia snaps! Walker ribbits. Nyssa cheers Cheetah applauds. Churten clapps Elvira smiles, "Thankyou... My second poem is called 'postnativity'" Elvira says, " Beneath the weary loins of Woman The mare drives ever forward To gales of fear and tides of pain The milky night beckons eternal " Elvira says, " Lost beyond shadowy trees and plains A small cry, the alert Woman remembers and is called back To that which needs and longs " Elvira says, " >From the deep ravines of dark insanity Woman is once saved Her strength regained in tender reunion As sun rises softly once again " Elvira blinks slightly as she finishes Nyssa woo's...Go Girl! ;) Nyssa claps Cecilia smiles and snaps. Javelin snaps. Marretta nods and nods. Walker snaps. Cheetah wows.. Churten awws, "Very Nice!" Elvira has one more... muahaha... A more silly one :) Rhayden yays for silly! Elvira says, "I wrote this one for a magazine in a rebellion against cutesy baby poems. It's about my daughter Autumn and the first time a midwife visited us at home :)" Javelin grins. Nyssa smiles Rhayden grinz Elvira ohs, "And for you non-Brits, nappy=diaper ;)" Rhayden nods Cecilia giggles. Nyssa khew that. Elvira says, " The day the midwife came to visit You really wouldn't want to miss it The scales came out, the nappy came off And that was when it began to get rough " Elvira says, " "She's wee-ing!", we cried When dripping we spied On our new wooden floor So baby did some more... " Elvira says, " A loud noise and a cry of dismay A rush for fresh nappies, what could you say? " Elvira says, " Poo poo everywhere! Over here and Over there! On the midwife! In our hair! In the curtains, on her bear! " Elvira says, " How to get this mess all clean Everything in the washing machine And the poor midwife going home In clean white overalls soaked to the bone! " Elvira grins and bows, "Thanks everyone" Javelin cheers. Walker laughs! Rhayden stands up and applauds! Cheetah snickers. Marretta giggles! Churten gives a hearty laugh remembering when his bro was very little Cecilia giggles, and claps. Nyssa applauds Elvira steps down and smiles Nyssa says, "Thanks Dear" Nyssa warmly smiles Rhayden tosses confetti. Elvira hides shyly behind a nearby frog Walker croaks. Nyssa lets go Walkers tongue with a snap! Cecilia comes back to the mic. "Thanks, Elvira. That last one was particularly, ah, messy." She grins. "Ok, next up, we have another new parent -- although I have no idea if that figures into his performance tonight at all. Please give it up for JAVELIN!" Walker chants, "Pointy Stick! Pointy Stick!" Elvira cheers Rhayden w00ts for Jav! Javelin pops up. "It only figures into things in that I didn't realize I'd be here, so these two works are both spur of the moment and experimental. Cheetah cheers. Nyssa claps politely Javelin says, "The first I call "M*U*S*H is my refrigerator"" Javelin says, "as mansion place see pieceof plate plaque dressed Probably croquet better His and elegant the with the than parent type in Current creature the You a!" Javelin says, "the displayed everywhere be dining ninja getting..." Javelin says, "24 what seems have," Javelin says, "and door and is of worldwide help stand going." Javelin bows.

Cecilia snaps Javelin thanks everyone, whose @descs formed the basis of the work. :) Churten is reminded of a friend's description of _The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test_ Walker laughs. Cecilia laughs! Cheetah blinks a few times. "Wow :)" Rhayden says, "Whose @descs did ya use?" Nyssa says, "Shhh" Nyssa grins Javelin says, "The second piece I call Scribble, and I expect will be fairly challenging, but does *not* require silence. In fact, suggestions will be very welcome." Rhayden whoops Javelin flexes his mind. Javelin drops Scribble. Scrabble: Javelin made HEY starting at H8A for 14 points. Scrabble: Javelin made HI starting at H8D for 3 points. Scrabble: Javelin made YAR starting at J8D for 7 points. Walker fingers scr/join Javelin args, as his tiles fail him and he can't make anything resembling a coherent sentence.

Cecilia wants to see that last one again. Elvira waves to Nyssa and cheers for Jav, "I liked it. Interactive poetry" Nyssa snugz ELvira. ;) Nyssa has disconnected. Cheetah takes Elvira's brain. Walker ribbits. Elvira replaces it... back to front Walker driew arivlE ta skool Walker ?mih dnatsrednu nac eivlE fi srednow Elvira nods emphatically to Walker Cecilia comes back to the mic. "Ok, thanks Javelin! Pushing the envelope." She checks her list. "I see here that our next vict-- er, volunteer hails from Manitoba, Canada. Please welcome Rhayden!" Rhayden starts. "That's me!" Walker says, "Cool, the Rhayden from PVP?" Walker applauds. Cecilia chuckles, and takes her seat, clapping. Elvira says, "tnorf ot kcab gnikaeps t'nsi ohw enoemoS !tsal tA" Cheetah cheers. Rhayden steps up the grass-stage, wondering what PVP means. Elvira hurrahs for Rhayden Rhayden taps the mic, "This thing on?", and squints into the crowd. Walker says, "arivlE ,uoy ynlo siht od dluow I" Rhayden clears his throat. "Ok, I actually wrote this piece today." quarkie has arrived. Rhayden waves to q! Rhayden clears his throat. "Ok, I actually wrote this piece today." quarkie smiles, "Thanks whoever did that :)" Walker wonders if he's the only guy who had to blow dust off his poems for today. Rhayden says, "It's about how friends go off on different paths during the course of life." Rhayden says, "It's main inspiration was me talking with some friends elsemu* about how people leave" Rhayden begins.... Rhayden says, "The longing for another time" Rhayden eeeps, tries again Rhayden says, "The longing for another time / when hearts and spirits were one / the glory days of yesteryear / When friends were close and abundant / the seams of personal worlds / filled to the bursting" Rhayden says, "But time is the enemy / It has robbed us of compatriots / friends-in-arms, kindred souls / There is bitterness, sadness / Why did they have to go? / Why did they choose to travel / down paths separate from our own?" You paged quarkie with 'No problem :)'. Rhayden says, "Yet there is understanding / for every one being is / a rule unto themselves / They are happy where they are / and should we want anything less?" Rhayden says, "We must continue on along our / own lines of destiny / We can hope and pray that / events of time and space / will bring us together again / Though fate seems to be a cruel master" Rhayden says, "We can reminisce and rehash / relive and remember with fondness / Days gone by" Rhayden notes that the poem was called "Days Gone By" and steps down. Taladan has disconnected. Javelin snapsnaps. Walker is struck by nostalgia, and applauds. Churten clapps Marretta mmmms and nodnods. "Nice" Cheetah woos.) Cecilia sniffles and snaps. Rhayden grinz, is shaky from being in front of people. Elvira claps quarkie smiles and claps. Rhayden bows, falls over, sits on grass and griz. Walker winces as Griz the Grizzly bear howls and takes off. Churten peers around Rhayden wonders who's next? Cecilia composes herself and steps back to the mic. "Who hasn't felt that, hm? In mu* or life?" She clears her throat, "Thanks, Rhayden. Next up, a newcomer to M*U*S*H -- please welcome Churten!" Walker ribbits loudly and claps. Elvira claps for Churten, "Welcome :)" Marretta applauds! Welcome! Churten sits up straight and begins to levitate Churten overs his way over to the mic Rhayden w00ts! Cheetah cheers. Churten says, "This is a poem I wrote a couple years ago while daydreaming in class, but I think it fits in well with MU*" Cecilia dives to the ground, to avoid being hit by the hoverChurten. Walker gets squished by a diving Cecilia. Churten waits for the hubbub to die down Walker ribbits comfortably from underneath Cecilia. Walker quiets down. Churten says, "In the Midst of a Dream" Churten says, " Wherefore art thou? In the midst of a dream. Whyfore art thou there? To find what is real To find what is not And to sew the seam between. " Churten says, " What have you found In the midst of this dream? I find what I seek I find what I fear I find my mind's eye I find that I can fly. " Churten says, " What shall the wings Of your imagination carry? They carry my thoughts They climb high and fall back down They carry my mind Off into sleep. " Churten lets his legs down and bows slightly Walker blinks his eyes and applauds. Rhayden clapclaps! Cheetah whoos. Elvira yays and likes that Javelin snappysnaps. Cecilia woots! Churten says, "Thank you, Thank you!"" Rhayden apologizes, gotta go. Walker wavers. Churten picks out a walk from the official handbook of silly walks, and returns to his meditation mat Cheetah waves. Rhayden says, "I'll catch everybody else's wonderful stuff in the log." Cecilia gives Walker a squeeze, and stands up. "Nice job, Churten, thank you!" Marretta snaps at Churten's poem, belatedly. Cecilia waves to Rhayden. "Thanks for participating!" Rhayden has disconnected. Rhayden is folded, spindled, and mutilated out of the here and now. Walker croaks weakly and finds a helium tank to inflate himself back to normal size. Cecilia says, "Ok, we're going to give the interactive scribble-poetry another try! Javelin, if you would be so kind?" Javelin oks, sets the board to give him 12 tiles and goes for it.

She checks her list, "Ok, everyone, next up we've got Walker, who has brought us a few gems from the attic, if I'm not mistaken? Let's give him a warm welcome!" She gives up the mic, and takes a seat." Walker hoppity-hop-hops up to the mic. Marretta builds a warming fire...for roasting frog legs. Walker croaks. Walker does his best in an effort to prevent Marretta from taking his legs. Javelin wonders when gems started being found in attics. :) Walker says, "This first poem I submitted to a competition for the student council in my college while I was still in the dorms." Walker says, "called, "Darkened shadows of Starry Night." Walker clears his croak. err throat. Walker says, "Darkened Shadows of starry night," Walker says, "Why are you imagination's sight," Walker says, "And mankind's art, to you holds no part," Walker says, "No streak of paint can the candle light." Walker says, "And the mortal mines you do consume," Walker says, "err minds" Walker says, "Shall then the deep imagination exhume," Walker says, "For shadows dark, be mornings lark," On the rocks, Cecilia giggles. Walker says, "To bring the mind to fullest bloom." Walker says, "The stars shall send a blinded mole," Walker says, "To uncover the secrets of the soul," Walker says, "And there to lie, on my inner ie," Walker says, "inner eye (sorry, bad translation - I typed this up)" Walker says, "A thousand thoughts now sprung in full." Walker says, "And then shall thought's logic escape," Walker says, "Under imagination's majestic cape," Walker says, "Boundaries bent, then fully rent," Walker says, "As it slowly removes logic's drape." Walker says, "From rising dawn shall our dreams run," Walker says, "And logic is free, it's will be done," Walker says, "To free mind from snare, then bring it to bare," Walker says, "Blistering truth by the light of the sun." Walker bows. Javelin snapsnaps. Churten cheers and tosses Walker a bag of Caramel Coated Flies Cheetah woos. Cecilia cheers. Walker munches on the flies. Marretta lets the frog keep his legs. "Very nice." Walker croaks and relief and straightens his warts, preparing for the next poem. Walker says, "this next one I wrote after a tragic accident involving a few friends of mine. "Brain for Sale"" Walker says, "This morning I placed in a classified ad:" Walker says, "One brain for sale, tis not too bad." Walker says, "Memories free and dreams as well," Walker says, "And many a story have they to tell," Walker says, "Yet it's the memories that I must sell," Walker says, "" Walker says, "Five good friends killed by a driver drunk," Walker says, "And bad times that be worse than a skunk," Walker says, "Please, oh please buy my brain," Walker says, "For It's caused me too much pain," Walker says, "And on my soul is now it's stain." Walker says, "" Walker says, "What can I do without my hearts desires," Walker says, "Nay for love but friendships spires," Walker says, "Tis ten bucks-no less no more," Walker says, "For my brain so filled with lore," Walker says, "Which has my heart feeling poor." Walker says, "" Walker says, "*sigh*" Walker says, "Those memories and dreams are my life," Walker says, "From good to bad and love and strife," Walker says, "And I remember the first time I did see," Walker says, "My past old friend sitting by a tree," Walker says, "Bidding welcome to you and me..." Walker says, "" Walker says, "Swimming in the pool by rocks so red," Walker says, "And by the campfire were we fed," Walker says, "Laughing crying and to let all out," Walker says, "And for our friendships stout," Walker says, "I was so happy I want to shout..." Walker says, "" Walker says, "In my brain where happiness streams," Walker says, "Ah geez I'll keep my many dreams," Walker says, "In my brain my memories I shall stow," Walker says, "Please someone please tell me how," Walker says, "I want that ad out of the paper now!" Walker bows and apologizes again for the "" in his code. Marretta snapsnaps! Cheetah wows.. Walker hops off the podium to sit back on his patch of grass. Charlotte has arrived. Javelin waves. Churten blinks and gives Walker a friendly pat on the back Charlotte bows. Charlotte says, "Hey quarks." Cecilia snapsnaps! Javelin grins. Nice concept, Walker. Walker grins. Charlotte has left. Elvira has disconnected. Cheetah says, "So, who's next?" Cecilia stands, after a respectful moment. "Thanks, Walker." Walker smiles and bows his head thankfully. Cecilia says, "Next up, one of our cohostesses: Marretta!" She claps wildly, "Woowoo!" Cheetah cheers. Walker applauds! Marretta giggles and heads to the mic. "I have three: a fluffy poem, a hopeful poem, and an angsty poem." Julian does encouraging things. :) Walker chews on his own leg hungrily. =======Love at First Mu*======== She connects He connects She waves He waves She flirts He flirts The wittiest one wins. She hugs He hugs She asks He asks She answers He answers Walking on needles and pins She smiles He smiles She snugs He snugs She calls He calls And so romance begins Marretta smiles. "That of course, is the happy stanza." For those of us that are more prone to angst, the second stanza would involve much anger, woe, sobbing, and agony upon the break up of this previously happy internet interlude. Ah...fodder for the next Poetry Slam. Javelin SNAPS! Cecilia chuckles, and snapsnaps! Cheetah wooos! Walker chuckles. Javelin giggles. She/he calls. He/she calls. ==In Transition== Wriggling Inside my cocoon Struggling Swearing Raging Fighting Tightly knit fibers That trap me inside All the while I grow I change And my Soul longs to be That which I yet am not Marretta smiles. See...no spaces in this one...to make up for all the extra ones in the first. ;) Javelin snaps. Cecilia grins. Churten clapps Walker snaps. Cheetah grins and claps. Marretta says, "And the last one I'll share is another ode to love on a Mu." Marretta says, "and perhaps a bit of that second stanza from my first poem." ==============Real================== I keep looking for the moment when you are no longer absorbed in me. I know how this game works. I have played it before. I am always the cautious one. The one that is slow to let herself believe that any good thing is real. Perhaps it is because I enjoy the part of the game where you try to convince me. Experience tells me, though, that the very instant I believe Then the game is over. And the only thing real Is the loneliness Marretta winks and hurries to her seat. quarkie has disconnected. Javelin snaps poignantly. Cheetah wows and claps. Churten applauds respectfully Walker applauds. Cecilia meeps, and snaps. "Nice, Marretta. I really liked the use of spacing/timing. Added another dimension to the 'sound' of the poems." Marretta grins and stands up again, making a quick dash back to the mic. Marretta says, "Ladies and gentleman...frogs and creatures of all sorts..." Walker ribbits. Marretta says, "Welcome our next poet...and the hostess with the mostess...Cecilia" Marretta goes back to her seat. Cheetah cheers. Churten waves a small purple pennant Cecilia laughs, and comes up to the mic. "Thanks, Marretta. I found, going through this batch of poems, that I must have been angrier than I thought. Most of them had too much profanity for this forum, so I just have one I'd like to share." Cecilia says, "Its called "I told you so."" You don't want to tell me. its ok. I understand. No one likes to be told that I told you so. But I did. Marretta giggles. Cecilia grins, and takes a bow. I'll try to clean up some of the others for the next slam. Walker chuckles ;-) Javelin grins and snaps. Walker snaps. Cheetah grins. Cecilia would like to try 4 people at the scribble, as an multi-person creative effort?
