nmainguy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's a lame riddle but play along...[another clue: he outed himself-birthday-wise] Who Is This? We all have a friend with a colorful name With a left-leaning bent He’s still a great gent He’s not very frightening There's no need to fear His birthday is coming It’s really quite near Have you guessed who this is? [Do YOU know who you are?] If you still haven’t guessed Think only of Mars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Just for you, I've enabled the "Birthdays" feature on the front page. Hopefully it will work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks to all, especially nmainguy, for the actual rhyming prose. I had to think for awhile how you knew my birthday is tomorrow, until I realized I did give it away a few days ago. Thanks again. And thanks to everyone who contributes on this forum. I enjoyed mixing it up with everyone, and often amaze my friends with my stunning knowledge of Houston architecture and trivia. No, I don't tell them how I know so much!

nmainguy Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. To read how to write Haiku in English go to http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/ - howtowritehaiku So here is an English Haiku for RedScare’s birthday RedScare's birthday: today at 45; tomorrow at 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks again all. I have grown to cherish my little family of anonymous writers. Now, as it is 5:00, I must relive a cherished RedScare tradition...hitting the nearest pub to celebrate surviving another year. I will raise a toast to all of you.

RedScare Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I always wen to the Black Labrador on my birthday. Their Monty Pythons rock.Ah, I shoulda went. I started at Market Square Grill, because it is on the way to my parking garage, moved to Ruggles, because someone offered to buy drinks, and finished at The Flat on the street parallel to Waugh (I'm drunk), because my best friend lives down the street. I promise to hit the Lab soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
