Grex Enigma Item 74: Life Goes On, a Sophomoric Poem
Entered by remmers on Tue Jun 2 06:52:17 UTC 1992:

    We have met our maker and he is us,
    Stewing in the juices of our ancestors
    We are yet as cooks, adding new flavors to the pot,
    The devouring and yet the devoured,
    We have met our destroyer and he is us.

It's not merely bad, it's the cause of badness in others.
Shame on you.

Yeah, I had a bad spot too, until I combed my hair over it.

Actually, I like the poem.  And could I get a sandwich to go?

That reminds me....I have to go too...

Chalky! I thought you had already went!! Nice to see you!!!

#9 of 32 by carl on Fri Jul 19 18:43:56 1996:

Snord! I had went already!! I thought nobody was looking!!!

#10 of 32 by alfee on Sat Jul 27 20:40:05 1996:

I'll go too, while I'm here, but I think I'll gladly go to the ladies' room.

#11 of 32 by carl on Mon Jul 29 17:29:30 1996:

And I'm just happy to go here and go there without any particular
destination in mind.

what sandwich?

#13 of 32 by carl on Fri May 30 19:39:21 1997:

the one I use to cover the bad spot.

#14 of 32 by lee on Sat May 31 20:44:14 1997:

So what do you use to cover the good spot?

#15 of 32 by i on Sat Nov 8 01:37:48 1997:

Baked beans.

(2 of them, to be precise.)

#16 of 32 by snowth on Sat Nov 8 03:50:26 1997:

Wow, that's one huge good spot you've got there, son!

#17 of 32 by orinoco on Sat Nov 8 03:56:33 1997:

No, just damn small beans.

#18 of 32 by lee on Sun Nov 9 03:26:24 1997:

did you squish them by accident so they're small?

Variety may be the spice of life, but *spice* is the spice of food.

#20 of 32 by orinoco on Tue Jan 13 04:13:04 1998:

Yes, but is Life a varitey of spice?

#21 of 32 by i on Wed Jan 14 05:05:46 1998:

Spice is the variety of food, and valerie is the spice of grex.

Perfectly square wooden blocks may be stacked infinitely high if you don't
fall off the stepladder and knock them over.

How about a house of cards?

#23 of 32 by i on Thu Jan 15 03:32:48 1998:

After a bit (if you're good), the house of cards reaches the point
where you can't breathe lest it fall over.  Somewhat later (if you're
really good) it reaches the point where you can't move, either.

Progress after that is understandably slow.

#24 of 32 by lee on Thu Jan 15 16:51:57 1998:

But of course that's when the dog knocks you over.

#25 of 32 by orinoco on Mon Jan 19 04:09:27 1998:

You're just donig it wrong.  If you build your house of cards in a vacuum,
it doesn't matter if you move, and the temptation to breathe i greatly
lessened.

#26 of 32 by i on Tue Jan 20 00:16:26 1998:

Yea, but you need a *really* good vaccuum.  Otherwise, the first card 
just sticks on the end of the hose and nothing gets built at all.

#27 of 32 by rkk on Mon Feb 1 18:26:01 1999:

  Build it in space...

#28 of 32 by i on Mon Mar 15 01:04:52 1999:

Can i hold it together with little blobs of green cheese so it doesn't
float apart?

#29 of 32 by jaklumen on Mon May 27 07:56:40 2002:

Ugh, you offer me green cheese now, i?  You had been such a good 
host.. perhaps I shall have to eat you.

I am the monster that shall eat Ann Arbor.

#30 of 32 by gelinas on Fri Dec 20 01:18:23 2002:

If you hold it together with green cheese, our destoyer will want it with
shark-fin soup.

#31 of 32 by jaklumen on Fri Dec 20 08:15:42 2002:

You wish.  I am not a cannibal.  Well.. maybe I am.  Hunger is hunger.
