Rhyme and Treason results!


And here we go with the compilation of the entries and the announcement of the winner.

Last weeks winner Brian in Oxford shoots us this bon mot, though with little confidence:
"Plutocracy sure blows!"

My favorite antagonist Deborah throws down with:
"With a pie cherry still stuck up its nose."

Everyone's favorite Aussie jack-of-all-trades and blogosphere godfather David McMahon contributes with: " With a digital SLR camera, and asked me to pose."
and
"Bart wants this to rhyme, I suppose"

pope terry (I'll answer your questions in a couple days, dude) goes for the gusto with:
"and sprayed her with a hose...
cue the cheesy seventies wah wah music,
and enter a man with a big moustache,
'your all wet miss' "

Then victorya one ups him with this novella:
"that was tagged with a research receiver from National Geographic as it was one of the few remaining due to the recent blackbird pie fad. The maid, upon seeing the blackbird called for the cook who came forth and, luring the bird to him with some sesame seeds, and captured it for a future supper. The researchers noticed the constancy of the locator and sent forth an investigator. Arriving at the castle, the investigator was appalled to discover numerous violations. There was Panda stew, smoked albatross, not to mention the stuffed tigers. The King was brought to court, sued, and in lieu of jail-time paid through the nose."

Getting all scatological on our backsides is whodatdare with:
"And dropped a deuce upon her nose"

And last, but not least, is cherty werty (I just never feel like trying to spell it out, sue me) with:
"Dessert was Crow Surprose."
and
"And threatened to foreclose."
and
"That's all. I'm otiose."


This was a toughie. I really have to say. But after much deliberation I have decided to bestow this weeks award to:

POPE TERRY!
The porn reference really "nailed" that home, buddy. Congrats be to you.

And congrats be to all of you participants.

While I have you here, I could use some assistance. See, Jessie and I decided to get a new kitten tonight. I know, we no nuts, we crazy. Well, I'm looking for a more esoteric name. The kitten is female. She has a tendency to want to perch on shoulders so I thought maybe a piratey name, but I'll be happy with something off the beaten path.

Also, wish us luck, because while Elmo seems to pretty much be all "oh, another cat, whatever," Annie isn't taking it as well.

  1. Ah, fail to think of something creative, just be really dirty. So much of my life seems to turn out that way. Oh well.

    My late grandfather had a dog called Mr bone, that was quite suitable I thought, so for your little kitty I'll suggest Captain Feathers... a little of the hilt I know but think of the costumes. Its a little piratey and suggests its a little dangerous to the birds.

    Oh and at your leisure with the interview you seem quite busy.

  2. I go for the pr0ny angle as well. Just saying.

    How about "Anne Bonny", after the dashing lady pirate who sailed with Calico Jack Rackham and Mary Read.

    Eh, they end up being too cutesy, unfortunately.

    Won't work. Already have a cat named Annie, and if we call it Bonny it just sounds like Bonnie and that's not very esoteric.

  5. Granuaile (pron. grahn-ya-wail): hot piratess; daughter of an Irish chieftain; lived to be 70.

    Ching Shih: totally robbed her way round Macao, Hong Kong, Canton; immortal author Borges wrote a story about her.

    Orrrr... Boucan, Prahu, Brigantine, Schooner, Flint, Sloop, Corsair... ahhrrr.

    Our researches suggest that 99.99% of Pirate websites are pitiful rubbish.

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
