I would have to call on Mike for this one to start it off because I know he has things stored from 300bc!..~What made you laugh/cringe/say what the F***?... Donald had a few comments that are gone for ever...unless Mike has then stored..that made me laugh till I ached...Sher...well..."This is a warning.....sorry..I always thought you had it stored to copy/ paste at the "drop of a hat :)"

    My favorite PnQ 2011 memory might be abby's death-defying speed contest. I haven't seen that much activity on here in ages, and a few good poems even dropped out of it!

  • Jordan

    I second that, Sibbers. That contest was crazy and got some of us to really push ourselves to write. It was incredible.

  • Tara Kay

    That contest, oh my, I'd rather forget,
    most annoying moment,was the site update and the crazy R and N's

    The year has gone fast, I barely remember.
    Happy 2012

    One of the best pieces of advice given out in 2011 when one of the threads got a little heated :)

    oh lord. The Marathon. Amazing, it really did push a lot of us. Way to use peer pressure, Abby. Lol. But i'v totally do it again. I missed like, the second half of it because of computer difficulties. But I had fun while it lasted.

    "A POETRY Site for the Sake of God"
    I think my new years resolution should be not to try to pass anyone attempting to build a tower of babel while we are difining Poetry or God. My second resolution is not to get my license suspended for finding the rear view more interesting than the windshield while we move forward in our poetic journey. My third resolution would be to find a way to use the forums without abusing them

  • Larry Chamberlin

    My most memorable event of the past year was being called to the forum, after three years of ignoring it totally. Love you guys! Thanks, Nana!

    Abby, I fell in love with the back of your head this year. Thanks for the whirlwind dance of a contest.

  • Michael D Nalley
    12 years ago

    Abby's contest created a wirlwind and also a wirlpool of humor

    A lonely soul ( F C D ) at 2011-12-11

    Michael and odd humor go together.
    The first part was easy to get.
    The second part about "crapper", I had to scratch my head, and God that made me laugh..... What in the world is the connection here Michael?
    (Popular wisdom attributes the derivation of this slang term for lavatory to Thomas Crapper (1836 - 1904), the supposed inventor of the flush toilet. Unfortunately, Thomas Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet.)

    It was also interesting to learn the origin of the words crap, crappy, crappping - from Mr. Crapper and his supposed invention.

    Were you feeling like crap Michael? If so I can understand that, some days I do too.L.T.C. aka The Godfatherby Michael D Nalley

    L.T.C. aka The Godfather

    It is amazing that this Attorney of Law
    Has left us speechless and in awe
    If he were a judge in a long black robe
    We would swear he had the patience of Job
    The other day I would have felt pretty lame
    When he gave me a hint of his middle name
    If I had guessed it was Crapper
    It would have been a knee slapper
    He would have laughed with meTHE THEMES FOR EACH ROUND
    1. 21 syllables
    2. Tanka
    3. Water
    4. Free verse
    5. Include the word "microscope"
    6. Wild card (pick any theme from this list)
    7. Cats
    8. aabab rhyme scheme
    9. PnQ member
    10. Alliterative verse
    11. Five lines
    12. Halloween
    13. Toilet

    To this day I have not pressured Larry to reveal his true middle initial
    God bless humility

    The crapper line was inspired by Larry's post following my post that my toilet poem was ready
    in the wirlwing dance Larry responded "that" is my middle name after this poem was first posted Thomas Crapper

    Thomas Crapper had a warrant that would make us blush
    He was said to invent something that we all would flush
    Like a king he sat on what some call a royal throne
    In his privy where he desired only to be alone
    Can you think of a more comfortable place to sit
    When nature calls and you just have to answer it?

    Larry... last week I saw your name on Facebook (I think you're a "friend of a friend" or some such crap) and I immediately stalked you for about 4-5 min...I swear I don't do this often...heh...
    Your family is divinely gorgeous. Well done you.

    We should have the option to block the people we don't want near our poetry with their pathetic useless comments.

    oh wait.. if there's a dictatorship going on..no one gets to choose..eek. or do they?..what is this? man..I hate politics.

    OR may be this one:

    Yaki ( F P C D ) at 2011-12-12 on Suss's poem

    I nominated this..you wanna know why?..YOU WANNA KNOW WHY??
    Because I WANTED TO,I CAN,AND I'M UNAFRAID.
    and no one has the right to even question my motives..

    Hellon, I think these were my favorite Pearls of Wisdom for 2011 (not pm's), from an otherwise great Poetess.
    (Apologies in advance for feelings that will be hurt, from someone who did nothing but write notes of appreciation on people's poems, but this is what he got in return).

  • Decayed
    12 years ago

    Lol :p ^

    I laugh a lot.. to the bones, when I talk with Nana via pms.. If she just allows me to publish our conversations.. lol

  • Daisy if you do
    12 years ago

    Not trying to be mean but I thought pm's couldn't be posted unless the other person gave permission.

    perhaps she did but if you are posting an apology for hurt feelings I get the drift she didn't and that is just not cool.

    If these aren't pm's then my bad, but still ain't cool if you think you are going to hurt someones feelings.

    Learned a while back it aint worth it to do so

  • Yakari Gabriel

    Aaaw...lonely soul...

    a whole year and you only remembered my posts,
    I feel so special :$

    I think I might be blushing...

  • abracadabra

    I did eat my first lobster, Hellon! Fresh in Borneo, in fact.
    My goal this year is to have the best wedding everrrrrr. That's right. There's someone out there who wants to marry me. Sucker.

  • Larry Chamberlin
    12 years ago

    Helluva great way to have your first lobster!
    Good luck & congratulations to the discerning young man who was fortunate enough to earn you.

  • Michael D Nalley

    On another site there was a topic about criticism
    The one that started the topic did not seem to realize that criticism can be positive
    2012 is still young but I have noticed that this forum is more active than the others, though most of the posts seem like they may fit better in other forums, This is among the few not contest related or Feedback and suggestions

    what do you think?

    Poetry websites and contests
    Post information about other useful poetry related websites and contests. Also report poetry scams.

    Before posting the content of private messages, please obtain permission from members involved.

    For some reason we do not have this listed in our site rules, but it is a rule. If it is broken after this post being made by me right now, then it will result in delete + penalty.

    Thank you!

    *Check the site/forum rules for updates.

  • Michael D Nalley
    12 years ago

    Just to be more specific would I have broken this unwritten rule by sharing a lonley soul's comment on my poem, which is open to the public?
    *"sharing as in quotes"

  • silvershoes
    12 years ago

    No no, copying information that can be accessed by the public is not a breech of member privacy. You're fine :)

    Did anyone actually paste something from private messages in this thread? I think everything is from comments on poetry or the discussion forum.

  • A lonely soul
    12 years ago

    Likewise, I hope I have not broken any rules by posting contents from open threads and copying 1 comments from a poem mentioned above, visible to the public. I have not posted any contents from a pm, as alleged by PoPc0rN4Sale above.

    So Jane, do I get whipped by your silver cane?

    Do I still need a place to hide

  • silvershoes
    12 years ago

    Haha, you didn't get whipped... yet! ;)

    I believe it was a misunderstanding by the accusing parties, but a valid point was brought forward, and it reminded me that our rules need to be updated.

    I'm going to go digging for something to contribute to this thread's purpose.

    Thankyou Jane I try to respect the meaning of privite now if you will excuse me I am going to praise a lonley soul's comment.... jk as I sense his sense of humor

    *I feel his comment gave me an insight to universal humor

    PS the screen name Yaki Evaporated is almost as funny as the one that read " I'm ignoring my PMS"
