I look forward to reading this thread
And I hope that it never goes dead
With the riot that's in it
It's a damned laugh a minute
And I can't get it out of my head

Oh, this thread that together we've pieced
Simultaneous beauty and beast
And there's no need to fear
Since the quality here
Should explode once the game is released

Is that anything like battle rapping?

QS wins by default as his are actual limericks. Correct meter, etc.

Limericks are very serious business, people.

I love my Maximum Football
When it comes to customizing, it has it all
So what if it's late
I've got a hot date
Ok, so it's with a blow-up doll

Need I post the Electric Boogaloo link again?

I was at GenCon last year and I had no clue they announced it there. If anyone would have noticed a football game release there, you'd think it would have been me. Hell, I played a demo of a dice rolling football game while there so it wasn't like I wasn't on the lookout for sports stuff. I didn't see a thing about Maxi Football though.

Kickstand can't stop my rhyming beat
He's all machine - he can't compete
Big Blue's got no heart
He's just wicked smart
2/3 ain't right on this balance sheet

I give it an 8.5...

Burn!

Game from Canada
One year, two years, three years, five
Maximum patience

We all know that this poser can't stand
In this contest, that he is outmanned
Johnny Galt tries his best
But his work fails the test
Funny name pal, give props to Ayn Rand

Customize your game
Rules, Leagues, Downs, Distance, Men, Rouge
not there: the option

I think I'm too dumb to give this the credit it deserves...

What does Ayn Rand have to do with anything?

Ayn Rand posed the question "Who is John Galt" in Atlas Shrugged.

I was a bit ticked off at this until I saw "In no particular order."

Cool site. Obviously David gave them a copy to play when it "Went Gold!" It's gonna be awesome!

the top ten myths about Canada and Canadians are pretty funny/crazy :D

You've only got cites to fiction
You're going down is my prediction
With rhymes like Shorty
Drunk off his forty
You're like your misfit toys addiction

Just fragments of leftover junk
No puzzles here to beat me, punk
So spew your babble
You might win at scrabble
But what you rhyme, I will just debunk

ok, this thread now has everything. seriously, i thought our first victim (sov) getting boxed was the ultimate culmination, collateral damage from all the frenzy and hysteria.

but no.

we actually have a Limmerick-Off.

a blipping Limmerick-Off.

QS and John Galt are giants among men. i tip my figurative cap to you both. i picture a very white version of 8Mile in my head when i was reading their last few limmericks.



when QS busted out with "Funny name pal, give props to Ayn Rand" i imagined all the upscale cognoscenti jumping out of their seats going "Ohhhhh snap!!!"

well done, all.

I kind of picture it more like a walk-off myself.

LOL, I'm at a loss for words.

I got $20 on the white guy!

Reading sucks ass!

It's so easy to see you're a cheater
Taking shortcuts with rhyme and with meter
I thought this was a fight
But it doesn't feel right
When you're just playing follow the leader

So assume the position at once
And bow down before me, you dunce
It's so clear than I reign
That you'll hardly complain
As I crush you like all other runts

ok, this is over. please, Hammer, don't hurt 'em.

i didn't know QS had this verbal assassin in him. i like it. i vote we force him to post in limmerick's all the time.

wow, just wow. Fight's over...

FM

indeed.

Kickstand's gone and cited the rules
Yet look at your rhymes - we're no fools
They are playing loose
There's meter abuse
What I got you don't learn in skoolz

Organic intellectual - that's me
I'm whoopin your butt, we all agree
I'm flying so high
Noone here can deny
Look, see my name on the marquee

It's time to finish this silly game
What you have offered is so lame
I've got bigger fish
Yeah, I'm the commish
I'm the rhyming king, they all proclaim

So, I pull your plug from the wall
Powerdown QS, you're nothing at all
You have tried to win
But to your chagrin
At the end of it now, I stand tall

edit: damn it, I see I have already been declared the loser. :(

Top Twenty Canadians:
Unedited list, BTW.

No Wayne Gretzky or Don Cherry?

That list looks to be movie or music people only.

This limmerick-off is one of the best things in FOFC history...

It needs it's own thread and tournament pairings...

As far as I can tell, this is now the most viewed thread in FOFC history (stickied reference thread excluded).

not to be a bubble burster, but...

From post #1289

Is it out yet?

I was just pointing out that it was still #2. Ummm, yeah.

Is what out yet? :confused:

I think you are in the wrong thread.






:D

Going along the lines of the astonishing number of views...did a bit of number-running and figured out that at the rate things are going, this thread will catch up with the reference thread sometime in early April.

Of course, that's based on the lifetimes of both threads. I think this thread just exploded in the last week and couldn't guess how many views per day it's getting right now. It has averaged 515 views/day since it started at the end of December, but I daresay that that count was much, much lower before the alleged release date and much much higher now.

It won't happen in April if the game is released before then...









.....







Ok, I couldn't keep a straight face... I tried.

I bet Bubba is proud.

A Bubba appearance right now would make this thread truly great.

It's ok. I think one or two others tried to claim that it was earlier in the thread, but it wasn't yet. They probably didn't have "view all threads" enabled, but were instead looking at the last x days (I think 30 days is the default)/

Missed the limerick contest. Drat.

Can I go old school?


David is the Winter of our discontent
As we anticipate unfinished Master Gold;
As Matrice's frustrated wills are bent
Convincing all this crap will soon be sold.

Official fora teem with forlorn souls
Banking upon a dubious engine physic;
While we of rectal trout and Kodos' polls
Prefer an algorithym Solecismic.

An abundance of features this game lacks,
But modders are Wintervalley's fondest hope,
To implement workarounds and sundry hacks
That lay abandoned for the rouge by this dope.

Benighted fools, your hearts will surely sadden!
Thinkest thou this toy will unseat Madden?

I guess there's no love for the haiku format at FOFC :(

I liked your haikus! But the iambic pentameter is the best so far.

Limericks, Text Sims?
Nothing could be worse, except
Maximum Football

By my count, this thread has survived a record 13 threadkills. It's simply immune to bad posts.

Mad love for the sonnet. If only my freshmen could create one as good.

I have NO freaking clue what is going on in this thread, but this was pretty much the first post I read, and I've rarely been more impressed with a post on the internet.

I'm predicting the women of FOFC will stand in line to bear QuikSand's children upon reading his prose.

I'm picturing QS wearing some mad grillz while busting limericks freestyle.
