0 Subject: OT: Gurupie Limericks

Posted by: cEHp and KnicksFan
- [3974252] Thu, Feb 06, 2003, 01:25

Here's something that we came up with to have a little fun. Mind you, we realize it could get out of hand so we have alerted a moderator who will be keeping a close eye on things.

This is just the beginning, feel free to add your own (and we’ll add some more too), but keep things (relatively) clean. We will also be taking requests, so just post anything you want to be “limericized” and we will do our best. Enjoy!


There is a guy named Ender
Who coaches the female gender
When his girls lose,
He breaks out the booze,
And cries “We coulda been a contender!”

A 76ers fan named Mike D,
Is a pro wrestling fan, you see
On lonely nights
He wears rubber tights
And screams “No one can challenge me!”

YOUNGBUCK stole a ball,
And he isn’t remorseful at all,
But he will shed tears
When in 20 years
He will be cleaning a bathroom stall

There's no debater harder to budge
Than a Gurupie by the name of Sludge
He'll argue till you’re in tears
For the rest of your years
But his record you never will smudge.

The Eurogurupies are mates
Who play fantasy sports like true greats
But they don’t realize,
That they can’t win a prize,
Unless they move here to the States.

Much of Ultimate's cash generation
Comes from Italians, Germans and Croatians
For TSN surmizes
Since they aren't eligible for prizes
That their entry fees are merely donations

There once was a Gurupie named Ref
Who went to a comedy jam that was def
The comics were so good
That he spit out his food
And really insulted the chef

There once was a Dude named Perm
Who used his name as a baseball term
It quickly caught on
And before he knew it his spawn
Had spread through the boards like a germ

Mattingly In The Hall?
That guy doesn’t belong there at all!
But MITH will insist
That he will be pissed
Until Donny Baseball gets the call

There once was a gurupie named Bleeeeeeep [Moderated by a gurupie who's name ends in "ay"]
Who moderated the boards all day
Like a great Russian Spy
Wiped the profanity dry
Keeping the message boards a safe place to play

There is a famous gurupie, Dave R
Who last year was the big star
He spent his cash
On a big team stash
But he’s too old to remember how many there are!

Political gurupie Baldwin,
Stands up for what he believes in,
He says, “Liberals go to hell,
And you hippies as well,
Let us conservatives take out Osama Bin.”

Should the United States legalize pot?
Seattle Zen says, “Why not?”
He smokes it all day,
And his cares fly away,
He says, “it no cause brain my to rot”

There once lived a man named Addicted
Whose parodies were never predicted
From out of the blue
He'd spoof something new
Then vanish like he never existed

There is a Bucks fan named PGunn
Who makes posting questions no fun,
He’ll berate what you write
But deep down inside
He’s as soft as a freshly baked bun

There is a gurupie named RFS
His GMD team was the best
But then he cut me
Now I’m sad as can be
‘Till he picks me up, I will not rest

Number one manager Jedman,
Will no longer be an also-ran
But we are not glad
For this manager’s sad
Because he is a Warriors fan.

There lived a chap named Erik B.
Who worked as a Sporting News Employee
Listened to complaints all day
About not wanting to pay
Showing patience you rarely will see

There once was a gurupie named J
Who liked to start his team the next day,
His team in a bind,
So far behind,
And the money cushion now gone away.

There was a gurupie named Smack
Whose team was always in back
He posted all day
Of plans gone astray
And of his love for Robert Pack

A visionary named Dave Hall
Rules the world of fantasy ball
He waits for donations
With remarkable patience
So he’ll have money to spend at the mall.

There's a Gurupie named Blackjack, you hear
Who last season had a heck of a year
He's got a plan for sure
His picks are so pure
He's always a player to fear

We've all heard of Jumpball
In the LRV he stands tall
He's always the champ
On that game he has a clamp
He makes the rest of us feel small

Although it's his claim
That Baseball's his game
He does well whatever he plays

For this exercise we lay partial blame
On a guy who once called himself Shame.
Find him drinking LaBatts
As he sits 'round and chats.
CanEHdian Pride is his name.

I once met a guy from out west,
In town vending machine markets to test,
Sat 'round, had a chat,
The guy gave me his hat.
Gurupie Jedman, he's one of the best.

When seeking permission say please
or he'll wipe out your next words with ease.
Some moderators are lazy,
Not Perm Dude, he's crazy,
Just watch out for his legalese.

Here,I met a chap named Dave R.

A champ above the rest by far

He started slow ,but he took our blow

And started gaining back his seat in the first row

But the king of the hill is another fellow


He sits atop the fantasy world all cool and mellow


He dissect,  he projects,assimilates and reports


An alternate universe of fantasy in sports


 


Guru as he’s called by his peers


Created this forum to ease our fears


Others call him Dave Hall


Still playing with the joy of a kid with his first ball

I'm sure you've heard of Bandwagon's curse
Last year it couldn't be worse
He's a fantasy stud
For sure he's no dud
He's a threat to win the top prize purse

As the gurupie WG he's known

so why not just make up my own"

One day a man named Allhair told all us
'bout his team of players who best used their hair folicles
Quite some time has past
since he elected this cast
Hope he saved an extra slot for Ben Wallace

Since he's ineligible for the prize
Competetion keeps his game above par

PGunn rhymed "head" with "head" - that's a major no-no.

There once was a Gurupie named Twarp
About the Raptors and Lawhorn he'd harp
But he's out of luck
Cause now they both suck
And this rhyme is a real piece of carp.

Twarpy is the resident sleuth
who is always in search of the truth
struck down Moderator Lou
with only one clue
putting an end to an episode so uncouth

don't worry RSF...your limmerick is in the works. Its been a long time coming for such a great Gurupie.

KTx is the world's worst commissioner
But not bad for a foreigner
Now he's become a USC Trojan
So I know I'll beat him by a large margin
Our leagues are always quite the yawner.

Smallwhirled is my Seminole bud who stands tall
He made his mark finishing #2 in baseball
We usually chat about SW every morning
I'm usually the one who's yawning
Because his internet connection is his downfall

First of all, I'm not the worst commissioner... you are... you screw over the point system everytime you are the commish

Second, You haven't and never will beat me by any margin =P

Third, the league is a yawner for you because you are always too far behind =D

busted!

not a limerick, but a just got a funny email dealing with poetry:

The National Poetry contest had come down to 2 semi-finalists:
A Yale graduate and Newfoundlander.
They were given a single word, then allowed 2 minutes to come up with a poem that contained that word. The word given was: TIMBUKTU
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped up to the microphone and said:

Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan.
Men on camels, two by two
Destination: Timbuktu.


The crowd went crazy ! No way could the Newfie top that, they thought. The Newfoundlander calmly made his way to the microphone and recited...

Me and Tim a huntin' we went,
Met three gals in a pop-up tent.
They was three and we was two,
So I bucked one and Timbuktu.


The Newfie won hands down!

      Wed, Feb 12, 2003, 04:53
Yeah, he beat you by using a loophole in his scoring system. Remember how we all laughed at him for having points for each IP when there was already a maximum limit for IP? Well, he was just barely under the max IP limit, and then he filled up his roster with almost every available starting pitcher that was going on the last day of the season. Needless to say, he had a very big day. :)

After having said that, I still think J is the best commissioner ever!

"1.1 Alex Rodriguez" That's all I gotta say! :D
