I bet he's watching, but he won't post.

Right, HLT?

The Mustang and the Prison Cook
Returned in highest style
With a High Lord who juggled rings
and a Mona Lisa smile.
"Wipe your tears, dear Julie,
Cookie's brought you something insane:
My old boots of Spanish leather.
My loss will be your gain."

They better come back soon, because if you think that's bad....

No, no - keep going!

Everybody's building the big ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
But when young Deer of the Dawn gets here everybody's gonna jump for joy
Oh come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Dawn sing
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Deer sing

Courtesy of Bob Dylan

So, Deer?

That was great! (I didn't know Dylan wrote that song!!)

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
"Sargeant Null ain't never been photographed"
I went into the Close, I went into the Hall
To find Sargeant Null.

Dylan wrote all songs in existence didn't he?

So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends. I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
To find Sgt.Null

You'd think u. would have shown up by now, what with all the excellent poetry in this thread...

Post by **ussusimiel** » Wed Jul 27, 2016 12:25 pm

U I am!

I knew something was keeping me off the Watch, 'excellent poetry' will do it every time

Sayin' that, Dylan is the best and a seer, 'The Trump won't work 'cos he's too many Vandals'.

I'd say High Lord Null will be here shortly.

I want that on a bumper sticker, and I don't even have a car.

Null, back to you.

I thought the Vandals broke the handles.

Hillaliantha!

The vandals took the handles.

At least in the version I have on iTunes.

Hillaliantha! sounds like a vaguely Hawaiian battlecry. I'm not sure why it summoned me.

Perhaps Cheval knows.

The horse may know but isn't sayin'
High Lord may lurk but he ain't playin'
The Sheep may show up, but she ain't stayin'
on Mallory's.

Nobody home but deer of the dawn
No man to get their game on
No one in the Close, or the Scifi forum
Nor in Mallory's.

The poor old Watch seems to be in terminal decline

No Mallorys action in this thread since July? I'm to blame and I feel ashamed! No-one is interested in the Olympics, no-one cares about anything, dammit.

Sigh, I'm depressed. Might have to go into the Close...

Weary traveler, calloused and sore
Time and gravity followed you here
Rest, my sorus, and tell me
All about the ocean

The times are a-changin'.

Who's still around? StevieG? Deer?

Post by **deer of the dawn** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 9:40 am

The Deer is here! The Watch always slows down in summer as is condign; people ought to go out and play. It's different for me as I am often stuck indoors due to torrential downpours.

There must be someone around here, said the Sheep to Stevie G
There's too much silence, I can't get no relief
Avatar, he blows up GD; sharks are swimmin' in the Tank
None of them are in Mallory's, I got no one to thank

I'm here, just lurking because I have no talent for verse and didn't want to break the chain of awesomeness. Oops.

Ignore me and carry on, StevieG.

Post by **deer of the dawn** » Sun Aug 14, 2016 5:12 pm

Nope, me again.

I don't mean to showboat, I was just having fun.

Aliantha seems like a fair guess?

Post by **Sorus** » Sun Aug 14, 2016 5:47 pm

I quite enjoyed reading it, and it's actually a shame that it will eventually be buried in a thread that most people aren't going to go back and read through. If I were participating, I would consider making a new game out of it.

What do you think, Deer?

Post by **StevieG** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 2:02 am

Buried in this thread is fine

I have no talent for verse either - but I can copy other people's

Wake up, son of mine
Stevie got something to tell you
Changes come
Life will have it's way
With your pride, son
Take it like a man

Stevie said like the rain (This, too, shall pass)
Like a kidney stone (This, too, shall pass)
It's just a broken heart, Cag
This pain will pass away

Good one Stevie G!!

How many times must Sarge be guessed
Before he shows up in the thread?
Yes 'n, how many times can the value be null
Before the forum is dead?
Yes 'n, how many years can Mallory's
Be without the master of fun?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the weeee-ind.
