December 9, 2010 at 09:36 #331700A simple code ‘neez
but eloquently portrayed
and hidden in green.I used a similar code
nine years ago
during the clone wars on flutter
where I drip by drip
built up a crescendo list
of possible culprits
finally announcing the main orchestrator
or clone culprit of the war as myself.The declaration,
which resulted in my immediate
banning, was done mainly
to infuriate David Marshall
and rob him of basking
in his own villainous glory.
He of course was the guilty clone
and chief architect
of the messy four week war
which wreaked mayhem on the board.A secret code
which spelt out Marshall’s name
in an earlier posting of mine
and similar to the one in the ‘erb posting
above, was announced by the only
clone I have ever created
oneflatcap
By virtue of the code itself,
which pointed innocence
at my involvement,
I was re-instatedThe board was on a downward spiral
when the planes hit the trade centre.Those were the days my friend
they sadly had to end !
Boards were simpler then and
had two simple ingredients;
the board and wait for it
the posters.Bans were extremely rare
bur some clones were fairly easily
spotted and if rude and violent
eventually removed.
A foul mouthed Jesus Christ
was quietly crucified late one night
whilst Harry Secombe’s willy
– one of Marshall’s bad brigade –
soon had his membership removed.Those were heady experimental days
weren’t they Marshall ?David you followed me for years
even nastily into the edge of Razeen.I will throw your last poignant line
back at you…don’t you ever get the feeling

Pinch honey at the party
Hostility oozes from every pore
The sweet one is horrified
By attack after attack
And flees
To regurgitate
Time and time again as memories
Of infancy hit home while
The desire of the man in the red coat
Is open to offers and
A flirt is beckoning him to
Her vineyard and
The invitation is taken to
A room upstairs which
Forces George to temper
His interior rage and produce
A nice bouquet and refer to the
Suspected impotence of his guest
Before asking all to be present as he and
His wife duet about the
Good old days and a
Story of mirrors forces their guests
To leave as

December 10, 2010 at 01:38 #331856my mistake
I said a simple code
I continue to prey on the past
because the past is inhabited by thin ghosts
that rattle far more than the livingTHE NORTH POLE
An 1879–1881 expedition commanded by US naval officer George Washington DeLong also ended tragically when their ship, the USS Jeanette, was crushed by ice. Over half the crew, including DeLong, were lost.
December 10, 2010 at 02:01 #331861The ship became trapped in the ice and eventually was crushed and sank. DeLong and his crew abandoned ship and set out for Siberia in three small boats. After reaching open water, they became separated and one boat, commanded by Executive Officer Charles W. Chipp, was lost; no trace of it was ever found. DeLong’s own boat reached land, but only two men sent ahead for aid survived. The third boat, under the command of Chief Engineer George W. Melville, reached the Lena delta and was rescued.
The grave of George Washington DeLong
DeLong died of starvation near Mat Vay, Yakutsk, Siberia. Melville returned a year later and found the body of DeLong and his boat crew. Overall, the doomed voyage took the lives of nineteen expedition members, as well as additional men lost during the search operations.
DeLong and five of his men are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York.What went wrong ?
December 10, 2010 at 13:47 #331926You were 3/1 lucky then
if you had ended up in
George’s boat.Siberia is a miserable
but merciful place to freeze
to death.I presume De Long
who might have caught sight of
some white whale on his
voyage to land
upended his boat near the shore
and huddled with his men
just hoping help was soon at hand.The bighorn sheep that
live around the delta
are also a miserable bunch
but well enough
protected against the coldFrom cold to codes
‘neez your second

De Long would have
welcomed a wolf
as his blood began
to freeze

more readily
for the sharper tongued

December 10, 2010 at 20:10 #331973An amusing thought Mr Pilsen

De Long’s widow published
the explorer’s diary
and one entry does seem
to confirm itentry 28 October 1881…

SPAMDecember 11, 2010 at 00:15 #332013I seem to remember getting a load of old bollox like that at the end of spam emails a few years ago.
December 11, 2010 at 01:20 #332015You could well be right Mr Pilsen
I however try not to open my spam
I have to correct my previous answer
it iswhos
afraid of virginia woolf
not who is afraid of virginia woolf.
Crimes remain unsolved by little errors like that !Hmmm I believe neez is trying to set a nobbly trap
with his last offering and one must think
laterally rather than logically to arrive at the answer
and the code here is the theme –
all Monty Python series and characters made in the early seventies.
As his previous questions we are looking for a song,
and as SPAM is in capitals I presume it suggests the chorus which is loud and goes…SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM LOVELY SPAM WONDERFUL SPAM
