A while ago Gideon posted a couple of poems he'd created from amusing or interesting blog titles. Well, today I noticed a couple of very amusing juxtaposed blog titles and, always being willing to steal a good idea, thought I'd have a go at making a poem of sorts out of them. This is more in line with the Exquisite Corpse style of poetry (see here for a full explanation), but I think it's quite amusing in its own little way. I took titles strictly in chronological order (at the time)...

So in one of my other posts ( here ) I talked about the Exquisite Corpse, and how the poems "by" him are actually created. Here now for your viewing pleasure is a poem by the Exquisite Corpse, courtesy of a variety of JoeUser regulars!     Penal Implants in the Penile Colony It is long past time for it to begin: Do you want me to sing you a song? It's a hillbilly song. and once upon a darkling night a backwards goat did ride... I suck and have nothing to offe...

Here's another old poem from the Exquisite Corpse. This one was created 10 years ago today.... Seven E's and an L Don't forget the Windex. Somehow, somewhere, it always happens again Yo, Larry! Grab me a Point! a quarter of your life, wiped away.... The cheese sailed across the room And sparks flew as lice from their heated loins. Do you know what I'm thinking? Bananas, falling like rain Send your own line of poetry to the new Exquisite Corpse! Do i...

So I've seen a small rash of "X things about me" posts lately and I feel inspired to post a similar entry... about you. 1) You like a lot of bad movies. 2) You don't read enough. 3) You don't read enough of the stuff that I read. 4) You're probably not working in the field that you got your degree in, if you even got a degree. 5) Your family was probably more dysfunctional than mine. 6) You know more cool and interesting people in real life than I do. 7) You're not as smart as I am. ...

There were seven dwarves in the tub, all feeling happy. ...So he got out. Picture two dwarves standing in the forest, talking. One is fat and looks good-natured, the other is thin and nervous. The nervous one speaks: "Well, it's down to just the eight of us now... I'm telling you, Hungry, something funny is going on around here!" A guy goes to the doctor. "Doc," he says, "You gotta help me. I've got horrible flatulence. It's just a good thing they're silent and hardly smell at al...
