-- Message left on the 800 line set up to promote OK soda
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, COCA-Cola actually paid its advertising agency to plant that message on a hotline for its newest product. But then, trashing its own claims is just part of the campaign for OK soda, a bubbly, mildly fruity drink for teenagers and young adults that Coke hopes will be its next blockbuster beverage and that the company is testing in nine cities from Boston to Seattle. With OK's deliberately drab cans and pseudo-Zen profundities ("What's the point of OK soda? Well, what's the point of anything?"), Coke hopes to capture a generation that is both anxious about its adult-size problems and inoculated against pitches from having grown up with television jingles at breakfast.
Of course, little is completely new in this marketing strategy. Getting messages across to audiences that don't fully realize they are receiving them is as old as the subliminal spots for popcorn and soda that advertisers flashed on movie screens in the 1950s. More recently, for instance, mtv blended commercials for a Pizza Hut delivery service with its regular programming by showing pizzas arriving by horseback or out of the ocean for its video jockeys.
What distinguishes Coke's campaign is that few of the global companies pursuing teenagers these days have been so elaborately slick in inventing ways to be unslick. Few, in other words, have gone to such great lengths to convince teens that the corporate voice is sincere. "You have to first and foremost acknowledge that you are marketing," says Brian Lanahan, manager of special projects for Coke's marketing division. Today's teens are "very versed in participating in the commercial world," he adds. "Probably their main area of power is as a consumer."
Which is exactly what attracts Coca-Cola and other consumer firms to teens in the first place. American adolescents last year spent as much as $89 billion on the latest trends in food, clothing, videos, music and, of course, soda; teens spent more than $3 billion of their own money on soft drinks alone. Yet America's 27.8 million teenagers are merely the vanguard of a global 12-to-20 market that numbers nearly 1 billion youths. Moreover, this mass of teens, particularly in the developing nations of Asia and Latin America, are far more influenced by U.S. products and popular culture than by what their own countries have to offer.
More than their global peers, however, American teenagers share an inveterate cynicism about corporate messages. This explains why in the OK campaign, Coke has set up an 800 number to let drinkers sound off about the beverage, and thereby define it for themselves. In another understated, low- tech move, the company is mailing out chain letters in target markets that mock the outlandish claims that companies often make for their products.
Some marketing experts are convinced that playing off this generation's angst is the wrong way in. "There's so much negativity around them, there are so many things to be bummed out about that they don't necessarily want to be reminded of that stuff," says one ad executive who spent the past 18 years studying adolescents. "Whether it's on the conscious or unconscious level, people are pushed away from it."
Coke argues that its understanding of teens is based on years of study, including the two-year Global Teenager program that employed graduate students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The OK campaign is only the company's latest effort to extend its dominance over the world teen market: earlier this year, Coke launched its highly successful "Obey Your Thirst" campaign for Sprite, which also pointedly refuses to overpromise by suggesting that the drink will not produce beautiful women or athletic victories but only relieve a dry throat.
Even though Coca-Cola's soft drinks outsell those of its main rival, Pepsi, by more than 2 to 1 around the globe and Coke is the most popular single drink with teenagers, the company still wants to beef up its presence in carbonated drinks aimed specifically at teens. Pepsi's Mountain Dew, the most popular such beverage, owns 3.5% of the U.S. soft-drink market, compared with just 0.3% for Coke's citrus counterpart, Mello Yello. "Coke is trying to take it all," says Larry Jabbonsky, editor of the trade journal Beverage World. "Traditionally, Coca-Cola and Pepsi have allowed smaller players to be the product innovators. Now Coke is becoming an innovator too."
The OK campaign was fine-tuned during a year of field study that confirmed Coke's impression that the current crop of teens suffer, along with their twentysomething elders, from an acute sense of diminished expectations. Like many other researchers, Coke saw that teens were concerned about violence, aids and getting jobs, all of which heightened their typical adolescent anxieties. "Economic prosperity is less available than it was for their parents. Even traditional rites of passage, such as sex, are fraught with life-or-death consequences," says Lanahan.
Armed with its findings, Coke set out to address the very real problems that teens face without seeming, on the surface at least, to exploit them. The OK trademark struck company marketers as the ideal solution. "It underpromises," says Lanahan. "It doesn't say, 'This is the next great thing.' It's the flip side of overclaiming, which is what teens perceive a lot of brands do." At the same time, the OK theme attempts to play into the sense of optimism that this generation retains. ("OK-ness," says a campaign slogan, "is the belief that, no matter what, things are going to be OK.") Nor does it hurt that, according to Coke, O.K. is the most widely known phrase around the world -- followed by Coca-Cola.
All the rest of the campaign flows naturally from this studiedly unstudied, I'm-O.K.-you're-O.K. conceit. The same low-key approach animates the print and TV ads that Coke is rolling out in test markets this week. The major innovations in this battle for the teens:
SPEAK UP SO WE CAN HEAR YOU. To encourage youths to feel that Coke is on their side, the company set up a national hotline (1-800-I-Feel-OK) that lets callers hear recorded messages or speak their mind. Beside Pam's anti-OK rant, they can hear Dennis J. of Aurora, Colorado, saying, "Listen, I got something to say to you people. I think it's stupid that I can't say the word O.K. now. What, you own the words O.K. now? Yeah, I own the words. Have a nice day. All right? ((Click!))" Teens so inclined can also take a true-false "OK Personality Inventory" (Sample statement: "Sometimes people who feel OK don't deserve it.") administered in ironic tones by a male voice.
The key to the call-ins -- and to the entire campaign -- is the notion of "coincidences," or odd things that supposedly have happened to people after drinking OK. A none-too-subtle spoof of ads that link romance or success to the consumption of a product, the coincidences are proving popular with teens. Said a caller from Arkansas: "I started drinking OK two days after my boyfriend and I broke up, and ever since I started drinking it, bad things happened to him. He even broke his leg. That's pretty good." Others have simply given their opinion of the drink, including a caller who asserted that "this stuff tastes like crap."
THE CHEEK IS IN THE MAIL. Coke is also citing coincidences in chain letters that it began mailing two weeks ago to promote what it calls the "feeling of OK-ness." An obvious ploy for building word-of-mouth, the letter warns recipients not to break the chain but says they can keep it going simply by mailing it or showing it "to six close friends." Some of the fictitious coincidences sound Garrison Keilloresque. For example, "Paul S. of Grafton, North Dakota, followed the letter's instructions carefully. Within a week, he found his vocabulary had significantly increased. Within two weeks Paul was, in his own words, 'No longer shy.' And within a month, he'd appeared on nationally syndicated talk shows as an unlikely sex symbol." The letter concludes, "Whatever your problems, please remember: Things are going to be OK."
WHAT'S IN A CAN? The entire strategy behind the soda is embodied in its black-on-gray containers, which resemble post-office most-wanted pictures or underground comic strips more than typical soft-drink cans. There is not merely one design, moreover, but four. "We kept saying, 'God, we've got to come up with one package,"' Lanahan recalls. But when focus groups failed to agree on a single design out of the more than 50 versions offered, the marketers changed their mind. "One thing about this generation," says Lanahan, "they don't like to commit to one thing. They like to keep their options open."
The cans suggest a certain despondency and have nothing in common with upbeat images of pep rallies or senior proms. One can shows a blank-looking white teenager with a doleful gaze and bags beneath his eyes. To one side are panels of the teen walking dejectedly down an empty street and sitting outside two idle factories with his face slumped against his hands. Declares a message across the top of the can: "ok soda says, 'don't be fooled into thinking there has to be a reason for everything."'
Perhaps not, but Coke carefully thought out the reasoning behind the post- industrial-looking can. "We're trying to capture the irony they live with," Lanahan says."What we're trying to show with those symbols is someone who is just being, and just being OK." In an effort to broaden the product's appeal to nonwhite teens, another can shows no face at all, while a third depicts a primitively drawn red face without distinctive ethnic features.
With so much thought given to OK's slogans and packaging, what about the reddish-brown beverage itself? Coke says the flavor evolved from the fact that teens consume a variety of drinks that range from colas to lemon-lime. The company therefore concocted a new soda that would blend all these tastes into a single drink. And as with virtually everything else connected to the project, Coke arrived at the final flavor through extensive tests. (The company went so far as to list a soft-drink ingredient called ester gum as glycerol ester of wood rosin on the label, a more outdoorsy sound.)
Ultimately, teen reaction to this blend is what will make or break the product once Coke rolls it out across the U.S. this summer and takes it abroad toward the end of the year. So far, and perhaps in keeping with the generation's entrenched skepticism, two groups of Minnesota teenagers who participated in a Minneapolis focus group last Thursday showed little enthusiasm for the product at first taste. Both groups loved the 800 number and repeatedly called it from the observation room. The first group of 15-to- 17-year-olds eventually warmed up to OK. The group of 18-to-20-year-olds never warmed up at all. Given such initial coolness, Coke will have to hope that if teenagers swallow its cunning sales pitch, they will come around to guzzling the drink.

Communication VS Multiculturalism - Why our "English speaking server" isn't that simple...
It's the situation we've all been in. During the game, you begin to talk strategy, or try and gossip about the newest Stranger Things episode, and you're presented with a communication error, as multiple languages present themselves in the chat. English, Mandarin, Filipino, Indian, Riven main, the average player can't be expected to know all of these languages just to play a game. Most servers have official languages. Korean server is korean, Japanese server is Japanese, Latin American is Spanish, North America is 'Murican, so on and so forth. Players are expected to communicate in said language to ensure that optimal teamwork is achieved. However, Oceania is a server that hasn't got an official language currently. But why? Let's take a look at the circumstances surrounding OCE. Firstly, we're a nation that doesn't have an official language. The defacto official language is "Australian English", however this is in a relatively unofficial way. Over 18% of Australian citizens are non english speakers according to the WorldAtlas, with the largest language besides English being Mandarin, spoken by over 300,000 people. Purely by our multiculturalism, we're at a severe disadvantage for our viable communication methods. But Riot Games Oceania can make the decision, I hear you say. They can make an official statement that this is an english server and begin encouraging communication through one unified language. However, this would cause more issues for Riot than it could solve. There's an ethical and moral dilemma known as the "Trolley Problem", where two train tracks exist, four people tied to one, and one person tied to the other. You can save the lives of 4 people by swapping tracks, but then you'd be directly responsible for one person's death. Riot finds themselves in a similar situation, but instead of Death, they face potential community backlash. By leaving things as they are, a number of players will be inconvenienced, and that's the way it is. However, by acting, a number of players will be inconvenienced, and that'll be due to Riot's decision on the matter. The experience and community teams are monitoring the numbers, and when a decision can be reached without causing a large backlash, they will make changes, but for now, we're going to try and be as understanding as possible, and do our best to communicate using pings, and emotes.

Solution Preview
Dear Student,
Here is your solution. Attached is the word version, print it out as your guide. Good Luck and thank you for using brainmass.
America in 1945
The Second World War was at an end and the world was heaving a sigh of collective relief but the horrors of the totality of the war in Europe, the Pacific and Asia was just being recounted and confronted for the first time. At this point in time America has proven that it is an effective military nation, more so because it has emerged as a Superpower. As Germany fell and Europe reconstructed the U.S. has no other remaining co-occupier in the Superpower status except the giant USSR, a WW2 ally who does not share a democratic ideology. From then on Global Patterns in terms of alignment between ideologies has changed, much as terrorism has changed political divisions beginning 2001. Hence the rivalry. After the WW2 treaties were signed for peace, yet soon after the Berlin Wall was erected that soon symbolised the ideological division beginning the Cold War that lasted till the late 80's and spanned a global conflict between the U.S. and the USSR albeit by proxy at times until the deadly and bloody Vietnam War. Pre-1945 American European Allies like the United Kingdom held overseas territories & nations under the Commonwealth, Post-War, independent nations slowly emerged from these territories as the old Empires became introspective & concentrated on rebuilding from the destruction of the War. 1945 marked the beginning of America's superpower status and that rivalry of ideology between communism and democracy; between the superpowers USSR & the United States. While this rivalry by proxy clashed in wars it also turned into a race for technology, a silent competition of becoming better than the other and took man to the Moon as well as started what we now term as the arms race. While President Harry Truman was determined to rebuild the Post-War world according to the Atlantic Charter: self-determination, equal economic access, and a rebuilt capitalist Europe, Josef Stalin was determined to set-up a world that was pro-Moscow & pro-communism. This determined stance by each nation in 1945 started out as a disagreement in terms of rebuilding according to the Yalta Conference that championed freedom. Russia decided to close itself from the proposed changes and was hence labelled, by no less than Winston Churchill as 'The Iron Curtain'.
In the US social scene, due to the Housing Programs that were developed from the time of the Depression as well as the programs that were in place for economic sustainability during the years of the war, an affluent middle class society emerged. Consumerism took the place of the war economy and America became an exporting powerhouse. Suburbs sprouted around major cities & industrial areas and men like W. Levitt developed subdivisions that became the ideal 'white picket fence' ...
Solution Summary
The solution looks at the development in American Life since 1945 via key events that presented itself from said period in American History. It further explains the use of Historical sources by explaining historiographic principles on the analysis of text/data sources to ascertain whether they are tainted, or biased.

The Autobiography of Steve Wignall
- $13.99
- $13.99
Publisher Description
From childhood kick-abouts on knee-scraping surfaces to junior football in shirts that reached your ankles to greet your socks, like many youngsters Steve Wignall dreamed of wearing a hallowed red shirt and becoming a professional footballer. Following his apprenticeship at Doncaster Rovers that dream came true and he embarked on a 20-year playing career that took him from Donny to Colchester, Brentford and Aldershot. When age and injury held up the red card, he went into coaching, scouting and management, returning to both Colchester and Doncaster Rovers as manager. Giving a fascinating, behind the scenes insight into life as a player and as a manager, and peppered with wonderful anecdotes that reflect his cheeky Scouse humour, Steve gives an honest account of his long journey of highs and lows in both his professional and personal life, from back-stabbing, rivalries and budget juggling to family upheavals and traumas. Throughout his long career, Steve's high expectations of himself, his loyalty, his tenacity and his vision as a player were mirrored in his management ethic and team training, at whatever level of football, and his skills and determination are what enabled him to survive and succeed in the tough, demanding and ever-changing world of football.

"So, For Us, It's Been Enormously Beneficial"
Eddie Jones remarks in his post-match interview, after their third consecutive defeat, have drawn criticism from some quarters. However, I feel like there is virtue in what he says.
Eddie Jones established a strong starting Fifteen in his first Six Nations. There are still a few marginal calls. His main problem is the versatility of Maro Itoje. Itoje has served a different role in each Six Nations since the World Cup. Once they decide which role they want him to fill, a lot of England's choices become easier.
In 2017, Jones started to conduct experiments with the team. Undoubtedly the most successful of which was with Elliot Daly, who took the 11 jersey for his own. He was also able to usher in newer talents like Kyle Sinckler, Ben Te'o and Jamie George, all of whom became Lions.
This Six Nations, Jones developed his squad further. A lot of players were given a chance in positions they don't usually play, or instead of their more experienced rivals.
"Other Guys Are Maybe Going to Struggle to Participate in the Future"
A lot has been made of this comment but Jones is just accepting where in the World Cup Cycle we are. He has to make sure he is giving time to those who need it most. Who will struggle to feature? The data gives us some potential answers.
Ben Te'o
England's Points Difference with Farrell at 12 is +156 (which is higher than England's total Points Difference across the Six Nations since the World Cup), with Te'o it is -18. A large amount of this comes down to Farrell's underrated defensive attributes. For instance, Te'o was nowhere to be seen when Bundee Aki broke through England's line for Ireland's second Try.
Anthony Watson
Watson showed some promise at Full Back for the Lions. Unfortunately, Johnny Sexton took only 3 minutes to punt the ball straight at Watson and create a Try, against Ireland. He also picked up a costly Yellow against France.
Kyle Sinckler
Sinckler has been getting more and more game time at Tight Head. Jones gave Sinckler his first start against Ireland. However, he was only able to get less than a Metre per Run. Sinckler is a Prop who is famed for his ball carrying. This is not good enough.
Mako Vunipola
In this game, Vunipola managed to overtake Joe Marler's Minutes in the Six Nations. Unfortunately, England's Points Difference with Marler on the pitch is +72, whilst with Vunipola it is only +42. This is a massive difference at this level.
I don't believe Jones has been given enough credit for the risks he took against Ireland. England started to turn the game round when more experienced heads like; Ford, Brown, Care, Cole, and Marler entered the fray. This is probably not the lesson he wanted to learn, but it is still a valuable one nonetheless. In this tournament, he gave his players a chance to fail. They now have a chance to learn and grow from it.

There's a Dinopark in Bastrop. Did you know this?

More Party Ideas For The New Mom
This baby shower game is so popular it is in danger of becoming a time-honored tradition! The object of this game is to have your guests taste a variety of unidentified baby foods and try to guess what they are tasting. There are a variety of ways to present the food, but the most common approach seems to be placing one dollop from 5-10 different jars on paper plates for each guest. You may want to write numbers in a circle on the middle of the plates and arrange the food accordingly, with matching numbers on the jars themselves. Then each guest numbers a list from 1-10 on a sheet of paper and attempts to guess what they are tasting. Obviously, the guest with the most discerning palate wins!
Scrambles and word finds
More classics with many, many variations. With scrambles you simply scramble the letters of relevant baby words (10-20) and ask your guests to identify as many of them as possible. Alternatively, you can ask your guests to pick both a girl name and a boy name for the baby and then try to think of as many words as they can from the combination of those two names.
If the gender of the baby is known, have guests pick a first and
middle name. Don't tell them the object of the name until after they have
picked the names, that way they won't intentionally think of longer names
(unless they have done this game many times before, of course!). In its
variations you can do word finds with baby-related words, or the parent's
names... the possibilities are endless.
Diaper pin taboo
This game is a particularly good icebreaker. As each guest arrives, hand them a diaper pin while explaining that they get to hang onto it as long as they remember not to cross their legs! The guest who catches another crossing her legs gets to take the diaper pin from the leg-crossing offender. The snitch? uh, I mean, guest? who collects the most diaper pins wins the game. You can decide how long you want this to continue, but probably best to set a reasonable time limit like 10-15 minutes so people can relax about the leg-crossing thing. That could get old.
Dress the baby
For this game you need a fully dressed baby doll, a stop watch or watch with a second hand and a pair of mittens. Undress the doll and have each guest take turns donning the mittens and dressing the doll as fast as they can. She who dresses the doll the fastest wins.
Nursery rhymes
Think of 10-15 nursery rhymes or children songs and pick one of the more obscure lines from the middle of the song ("How I wonder what you are" from Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star) and have your guests guess as many as they can.
Card fun
While not exactly a game or contest, this is a sneaky little activity that can very fun with the right kind of group and mom-to-be (read: casual, close knit group of friends and laid back, uninhibited mom). In the usual tradition, assign someone (or yourself) to collect the cards as the mom-of-honor opens her gifts and have her write down not only the gift which corresponds to the card, but also the remarks the mom-to-be makes as she unwraps the gift ("Ohh, that is so darling. I LOVE bunnies," and so on). Be sure the mom is not aware of this additional commentary on the cards as they are being written. Once all the gifts are open, read back these comments made by the mom while explaining that these were the remarks made by her on the night of conception!
Piggybank variations
In each of these variations you supply baby's first piggy bank and make a small collection of change to put in it. There are a couple of ways to do this, depending on how much time you have. In the first scenario, set up the piggy bank with a small sign explaining that this is a wishing bank. Guests can drop in some change and make a wish. In the second variation, which could be a little more interesting, but also more time-consuming, the piggy bank is placed in the middle of your group. Each guest takes turns sharing something they have never done before (bungee jumping, skiing, kiss a man with facial hair, etc.). Each person in the group who HAS done that particular activity places some change in the piggy bank (it would be wise to have some change on hand for those who didn't bring any or don 't have enough!). At the end of the party, mom-to-be has a piggy bank to take home for her baby.
Have fun!

Thanks for posting that, TrossL. What a great ad that would make.
Thanks guys...
It's really sad how this thread has totally fallen off what it used to be. Nowadays, (is that one word?) if we write a lim we post it on oedilf. Is it okay to post in both places? It feels kind of like cheating somehow...
Oh, I don't think it's cheating at all. After all, OEDILF started here.
It's just that I haven't written that many limericks lately. I seem to have peaks and valleys with writing limericks, and I am in a huge valley now.
However, I'd love to read some limericks, and I surely don't care if they've been submitted to OEDILF or not.
Your visage? Astounding! And so
I must cover eyes or I'll go
As blind as a bat,
For your beauty's such that
Mortal men can not look on you—Oh!
I only looked up for a second,
Your aura, it called me, it beckoned!
Now I'm in a bind
'Cause I'm sure as hell blind—
This ending is not what I reckoned.
"Though I walk through the Limerickless valley
I have faith that my skill will soon rally,
And with good exercise
Before your startled eyes
I'll produce a good Limerick," quoth Kalleh.
Tonight is not really the time,
I can't find a word that will rhyme
With kerosene heater,
And then there's the meter!
My limericks all seem to be slime!
Perhaps you're working too hard,
Do not try to mimic the Bard,
In his wonderful timing,
To say nought of his rhyming
You will end, not in slime, but in lard.
Case in point, pearce, one must be on guard
Coining phrases crafty muses may not pard'.

With the Bard and wartime butter

You pen limericks on colons: wherefore?
There's a project that some would find queer.
It's a limerick dictionary, dear
That's right now reached C..O
Hence K. writing on co-
Lon, and you'll find it right here.
Though there is no chance that this limerick would survive the workshopping process over there. They'd insist that I can't start line five on a stressed syllable, that LON shouldn't be stressed anyway, that if you don't stress it then that gives an unacceptable three unstressed sylables in a row at the start and only two stresses in the line, thatb there's no definition, etc. etc. etc.
(And in case anyone from there is looking here, they'd be right on all counts. This doesn't cut it by the site standards.)This message has been edited. Last edited by: BobHale,

Yes, but maybe we are more in keeping with how limericks originally were written. For example, here is a limerick written by Edward Lear (1812-1888), himself.
There was a Young Lady of Portugal,
Whose ideas were excessively nautical
She climbed up a tree,
To examine the sea,
But declared she would never leave Portugal.
Personally, I thnink this is awful! Nautical doesn't rhyme Portugal and lines 1 & 5 end with the same word!
But this very limerick is what you get when you put into Google "how to write a limerick". OEDILF doesn't come up at all in the first 4 pages!
Without bothering to check, I believe Lear very often used a last line that was a very simple variation of the first. Example (from my head, not Lear's): "There once was a man from St. Ives" with "This obsessive old man from St. Ives.
By the way, I agree with you 115% about "Portugal".
Almost exclusively. I believe there are couple of instances where he didn't but I wouldn't swear to it.

I am reminded of a fellow who once criticized Shakespeare for using so many well-worn phrases and outright clichés. Also, Chaucer was taken to task by later critics saying he often got his rhyme and meter wrong. (They didn't realize Middle English sounded different from Present-Day English. As for Edw. Lear, though he may not have created the Limerick, he is usually credited with popularizing the form. His limericks had four lines, the current lines 3 and 4 being combined into a single one, and the first and last lines were, as Bob has pointed out, only slightly different, but not always.
(From his Book of Nonsense.) Lear was one of the more famous authors of nonsense, which included Lewis Carroll (UK) and Gelett Brugess (US). The latter of Purple Cow fame.
—Ceci n'est pas un seing.
If you simply type in "!limericks" then the first entry is Wikipedia's (who have a link to OEDILF). I was smugly satisfied to read this entry:
In John Newbery's 1774 children's book, A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, the following poem in limerick form first appears. It remains well-known today.
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock
I received a great deal of flack on this site from those who suggested that it was a nursery rhyme (which it is) and not a limerick (which Wikipedia and I, at least) believe it is.
Richard English
Hickory dickery dock
TWO mice ran up the clock.
The clock struck one .....
... and the other ran down
The physician had a habit of stopping in every afternoon at the local bar (Richard's Bar) for an almond daiquiri.
The bartender / owner of the place panicked one day on realizing he had run out of almonds
so he substituted a hickory nut .
"Is this an almond daiquiri, Dick?"
"No, it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc."
Then there's the rabbit who lives mainly on updoc.
I know, you're going to ask me, "What's updoc?"
Richard English
Don't you mean updock?
Hilarious. I'm going to steal this.
No need to steal it, Sean. Let me present it to you as a Gift ... no strings attached.
Let's also consider what happens when the clock runs down ....
Cowhearted's not generous, Raven!
It's cowardly, gutless and craven,
Lily-livered and yellow;
Not some bighearted fellow—
Bob won't like those flyers you're wavin'.
Rave made flyers for Big Bob's campaign.
Thank the Lord, her mistakes are quite plain.
'Stead of stressing his kindness,
She's shown off her blindness
For meanings of words once again.
Michaela, whose surname was Hunt,
Used language exceedingly blunt,
Expressing dislike
For the nickname of 'Mike':
She refused to be labeled 'Mike Hunt'.
Hey...we got this thread going again. Finally! I must thank TrossL for that. Let's keep the discussion and the limericks coming...
Yes, Bethree, on OEDILF we are trying to write limericks on all of the words, all of the time (since language is always changing). Not only that, but it's on all definitions of words (how many definitions of "set" are there?); further, there are phrases and people's names and movies and whatever. Quite the project. Here is my final colon limerick, though it hasn't been approved yet and stands to be further criticized, though the poor baby has already been through the mill!
The organ where feces go rollin'
(Or sometimes they slowly go strollin')
Absorbs and reclaims,
And it carries the names
Of the greater intestine or colon.
(I did add an author's note to explain the "absorbs and reclaims" part.)
Shu, I love yours!
Richard English
An equestrian lady just started
A graveyard for horses departed.
She loved horses so well,
She liked even their smell-
Which is why she was known as "hoof-hearted".
Richard English
Shu... that's too funny.
And speaking of Shu, or to Shu, as the case may be, and is,
Shu had a great idea to write a limerick with the play on the words "nautical but nice-icle". Here is my own humble, off the cuff attempt.
A girl I know once sucked an icicle;
And she did it while riding a bicycle.
It was ice from the sea.
(How I wished she'd sucked me)
Though she's nautical she's far too nice-icle.
Helen Hunt found a glove in the church
And she'll never leave you in a lurch
If you lost such a garment
Rest assured there's no harm meant.
Just go to Helen Hunt for your search.
This Kalleh's been posting forever,
Though no one would call her posts clever!
Her posts are 12,000;
Let's toast with some hausen,
Champagne and some Fuller's...Bud? Never!
Hey, I just reached 12,000 posts!
[P.S. OEDILF workshoppers, I'd love an RFA on my "colon" limerick, if you so inclined.]
Okay...here is a challenge. I am going to be writing a chapter on collaboration in healthcare. I'd like to start it with a limerick, though of course I can't guarantee that my editors will keep it. Still, they probably will.
I've tried to write one, and I will keep trying. But all of you are so talented. How about helping? Just promise you won't be hurt if I don't select yours, okay?
So get started already!
Controversies are often polemic;
They spread like a great epidemic.
Providing the wealth
To finance Public Health
Is pragmatic -- not academic.

I submitted this over there yesterday, but I doubt it will make it to home base as it tapers off there in line 5. So, I'll post it here!
I did not want to drive all that far
And the cover's so high at that bar;
What they charge, though, we pay
If we want to get lai—
I mean, if we want to be able to get inside and meet a nice girl...
Hey, you changed your beautiful face!
Oh, I think it is funny. There are plenty of odd ones like that. I'll go over and RFA it, though I'll probably get severely criticized for it!
How do you like my face now???
My latest... I think I'm up to over 20 tents...
Corporal punishment: good for what ails ya.
(Well, that's what dad says as he flails ya.)
Constipation? A cold?—
This cure never gets old,
So be thankful next time someone nails ya.
What? You've never heard of someone getting the snot or the shit beat out of them?
I'll look at your new tents. I like the rhymes in that one. I suppose you don't deep six a limerick simply because the message isn't "nice." I do realize that's how many parents still think. 'Tis a pity. No wonder we have so much violence in our society.
Funny though it is, this won't get past OEDILF workshopping since self-rhymes are verboten. There are plnty of rhymes for "ya", of course.
Richard English
It would because even over there they know that rhymes start at the last stressed syllable so that ails, flails and nails are different.

Dear TrossL:
One phrase I can't stand is "you guys",
In fact it's a term I despise.
For a guy is a male
And you females should quail

The original Silent Hill adaptation remains notable only because it let Sean Bean survive to the closing credits. The overriding question for the sequel: can he repeat the feat? It not much to hang a whole movie on, but the odds in Vegas are lively, so place your bets. Otherwise, you left with an endless series of Halloween-themed screensavers, collected from horror discard piles the world over and hastily assembled into a plot. Evil clowns, Satanic amusement parks, butchers who use humans instead of pigs all they need is a mob of creepy children and they got the complete set. Bassett assembles them with an eye on repetition: scare us with their very presence and never mind the fact that every scene could pretty much be swapped with every other.

Simon Healey Coaching Bursary
WheelPower, in partnership with the Mace Foundation, have launched the Simon Healey coaching bursary. The bursary will develop our coaching workforce and increase the number of disabled people leading active lives.
Simon Healey was a Director of the Mace Group and a Trustee of the Mace Foundation who before his passing in 2017 was incredibly supportive of WheelPower's work including legacy programmes for disabled children from the London 2012 Paralympics and the development of facilities at Stoke Mandeville Stadium.
As a legacy of Simon's passion to give young and newly disabled people a chance to play and enjoy participation in sport and physical activity the Simon Healey bursary fund has been created to support coaches and volunteers to develop their skills to facilitate more sports and physical activity opportunities to support WheelPower's work in transforming lives through sport.
The aim of the fund is not only to develop our coaching and volunteer workforce but to also help increase the number of disabled people participating in sport and to increase the number and range of inclusive sports opportunities to support this. A particular emphasis of the bursary fund will be to help disabled people gain coaching qualifications and enable Paralympic athletes to transition from competing into coaching at the end of their competitive career.
WheelPower particularly welcomes applications that will increase participation in the following areas:
- Spinal cord injury
- Wheelchair sport
- Disability awareness
- Coaches who receive funding must deliver sport or physical activity sessions to support WheelPower or one of our partner organisations
- Funding must go towards the costs of a recognised course or qualification related to sport or physical activity
- Recipients of a bursary must keep a log of coaching hours delivered for a six-month period after completing the funded course
- Six months' after completing the qualification recipients must provide a case study/report to demonstrate the outcomes from the funded course and provide evidence of the impact of the qualification on themselves (Personal Statement) and people they have coached during that time (including photos/video)

After an hour and a half in the car and three train rides we finally arrived at Hyde Park for the Sainsbury's Jubilee Festival. Although the kids had an amazing time scoffing freebie food, taking part in crafts and watching shows and performances throughout the day it was just a promotional event and the the queues were huge - as a parent I felt a little disappointed.
The day obviously wore then out as they conked out in the car on the way home!

Seabiscuit is the ultimate in slick professionalism. It has gorgeous production design (Jeannine Oppewall deserves an Oscar), beautiful cinematography and carefully structured scenes, plus rock-solid performances from Tobey Maguire and Jeff Bridges, and an unreservedly brilliant one from Chris Cooper. It's a movie my mother would love. And from what I've been able to overhear from exiting audiences, it's a movie a lot of people, mothers included, do love.
That said, I didn't.
Maybe it's my lack of any special fondness for horses. Maybe it's that treacly Randy Newman score, at its best when it seems to flirt with copyright infringements on the "Nimrod" section of Sir Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations. Maybe it's the film's simplistic notion that Seabiscuit single-hoofedly pulled America out of the malaise of the Depression. Maybe it's all those rear shots of jockeys with bad cases of V.P.L. (visible panty line) astride their mounts (surely there was some better vantage point that still obscured the fact that Maguire wasn't really on that horse?). Maybe it's the fact that a film that starts out by debunking the myth of mass suicides on Wall Street the day of the market crash should be so sloppy as to refer to Seabiscuit as the "biggest thing on four legs since Hope and Crosby" in 1937 — one year before Bob Hope became a movie star, and three years before Bob and Bing became a team. (Perhaps this was a sop to the film-writing Crosby — a key figure in the real-life story of Seabiscuit — who is here entirely left out of the proceedings.) Maybe it's the constantly transparent setups whenever something bad is going to happen. Or maybe, it's the clumsy intrusion of heavy-handed symbolism every so often (my personal favorite: the rug-beating intercut of Seabiscuit being ill-advisedly hit with a riding crop so that Maguire's character mystically knows something awful is about to befall his equine pal).
But more likely than not, it's all of those things combined with the shameless predictability of the film's every event, its Oscar-bid sense of its own importance and its all-too-transparent bid to be a movie "like they used to." It's not that director Gary Ross doesn't succeed in this last pursuit, but that the making-a-movie-like-they-used-to approach is wrong-headed from the start, overlooking that all those great old movies are great because a lot of filmmakers tried their damndest to make something fresh — that is, to not make their work "like they used to."
That said, there's not much freshness here. When we get to a scene with Messrs. Maguire, Bridges and Cooper hiding in the bushes to watch the training of Seabiscuit's nemesis, War Admiral, we might as well be watching the Marx Brothers in A Day at the Races (Which is really a more honest film: At least people actually bet on the horses in it. In Seabiscuit, no one ever wages money on a race. In fact, the topic never comes up.)
Right now, Seabiscuit is getting something like a free pass simply because of all the incredible rubbish surrounding it in the multiplexes. (Just about anything looks pretty weighty when you stack it up against Bad Boys II. And the only thing that comes close to exploding in Seabiscuit is a tractor backfiring and spooking a horse into an outburst that leaves our jockey hero with a shattered leg.) The question is whether Seabiscuit is a true oasis in the desert, or merely a mirage.
It's not that the story of this amazing horse and the three men who help bring the animal to racing greatness is without interest or merit. It's that as the tale is presented here, it's so incredibly earnest and high-minded, and buried beneath tons of supposed historical significance (all given extra weight by slapping on period photographs and a voice-over by PBS narrator David McCullough) and a lot of badly fleshed-out, never-resolved allegory about surrogate fathers and sons. Seabiscuit uneasily aims at being both a Capra-esque populist myth where the underdogs triumph, and also at being something greater. Director Ross is to be commended for creating the only uplifting movie in living memory that does not end with a swooping crane shot pulling back from the last scene. But note that can change the tone — and it's one he never seems wholly comfortable with.
It's historically accurate that jockey Red Pollard (Maguire) didn't get to ride Seabiscuit to victory in the race against War Admiral — which, in itself, blunts the typical Great Moment. However, Ross not only dutifully records this, but he presents the first part of this momentous race offscreen, so that we — The People — only get to hear what's going on over the radio. Similarly, his solution to the cliched crane-shot ending is to draw the film up short before letting us see the outcome of Pollard's and Seabiscuit's comeback. It's like he's trying to make a feel-good movie without the guilt.
But there's a reason cliches become cliches — they work. And a good director knows how to use them to his advantage. And if he's going to junk them, he'd better come up with an effective alternative. Ross doesn't, while offering very little in their place and hoping that historical significance and his greater message will carry the day. Apparently, it does exactly that for a lot of people, but I never got away from the sense that I was watching a movie made by someone who didn't really trust his material.
Seabiscuit is not a bad film. It's entertaining and has good performances, and it's undeniably a crowd-pleaser — and there's a lot to be said for that. But ultimately, it's a good movie that just tries too hard — and too blatantly — to be a great one.

MANSFIELD, Ohio — Local authorities in Mansfield were tracking a pack of coyotes Friday after a man doing some lawn care was attacked.
He was riding a mower while blowing leaves along Springmill Road shortly before noon.

The man's jacket was torn and he suffered an injury to his arm but was able to drive himself to the hospital.
The game warden responded to the area.
Coyotes are not native to Ohio but can typically be found throughout the state's 88 counties.

Ok, I admit it, I SOMETIMES stalk *SOME* people on the internet – classmates, crushes (i'm sooo ederlyn), neighbors and yes, BLOGMATES. Hahaha. My breakfast, lunch dinner and snack is my PC and my bestfriend is Google. I could spend an entire day just doing it and I'm so darn good (I believe) but I guess, no one is gonna beat IT. I love unlocking codes, solving mysteries and making up my own haka-haka. When I first read The DaVinci Code, I cracked the password to open the cryptex — APPLE. Haha, anataray, ka-level ko si Robert Langdon! You wont believe it but in real life, I've even cracked email and Friendster passwords too. I am scaring you, I know but don't worry, I ONLY put this talent into good use and believe me, it saved me from the dark many many times and besides, I want to believe that gone are the days of my stalkinghood. The stalker is now a lurker eh.
So, let me share to you some tips I've learned for the past years of doing cyber-stalking — The urban guide to becoming a (successful) cyber-stalker.
Sign up with every social networking site available, especially Friendster.
Statistics show tha 5 million of Friendster's 21 million users are Filipino. So I guess there's some truth to this:
"If I can't find you in Friendster, you do not exist"
- If you cannot find him/her in Friendster, try it on Myspace, Facebook, Multiply, Yahoo 360, Zorpia, Yuwie, Match.com, Linked.com, hi5, Bebo, Christianter, Eskwela, Pinoyster etc. He/She's gotta be out there somewhere.
- Turn ON view profiles anonymously in your Friendster account.
- Check out if he/she got any SCANDAL on youtube, google video
- To know more about his/her dreams and plans, check out 43Things!
- If you like to find out what's he/she doing NOW as in NOW NA, check out TWITTER.
- They say YOU ARE WHAT YOU LISTEN TO, so to get to know the person hiding behind that cute face, listen to his/her playlist at Sounpedia, imeem, Last.fm and who knows, she might be a singer/composer/band member at Soundclick.
- To check out if he/she owns a blog, Technorati it!
- To get to know her family, friends and some places he/she has been to, Photobucket, Webshots, Picasaweb, Pbase, SmugMug, Kodak gallery, Flickr and Zooomr are the place to be. (applies also if you wanna check if he/she is AVAILABLE or IN A RELATIONSHIP or JUST LOOKING AROUND or CHEATING BIG TIME!!!)
- Must have accounts in any of the following — YM, AIM, MSN, GTALK, Skype, ICQ and the classic mIRC.
- Find out his/her thoughts and opinions in life thru Pinoyexchange, Peyups, Digital photography, Mukamo, TrsitanCafe and WPP Forums.
- Must have a keen eye for details
- Must have access to internet 24/7
- Never underestimate the power of google image and yahoo and google MAP!
- Always start searching with nickname and then add popular suffixes (ex. malen can be malensky, malenski, malenster, malentot etc.)
- And last but not the least, must have a list of PROXY SERVERS!

A Bullet Journal Update
No comments
I recently started bullet journaling in my Erin Condren journal and felt it time for a check in. Plot twist. It's not going well. I'm pretty sure the first time I even touched the journal in weeks was to take this photo. Yikes. I'd like to say that I think 2017 will be better, but I highly doubt that. Bullet journaling just isn't for me.
There are a few reasons actually. It's hard for me to keep up with something every single day. The good thing about planning is I can check what I need to accomplish, but I don't have to actively contribute to it on a daily basis. And if I'm having a particularly busy weekend I won't look at my planner at all. Bullet journaling demands a bit more attention than I'm able to get it.
I'm also not very artistically inclined. Sure I can design a sticker like a pro, but when it comes to putting paper and pen together it's a hot mess. If I were to truly pursue bullet journaling I'd have to develop a lot more talent than I currently have. I guess I could fumble through it and that be the journey itself, but I don't have a lot of spare time in my day to devote to something that just doesn't seem to be going well.
So my first bullet journal update is to say that I'm giving it a rest. I do have a few plans in the works for my organizational method for 2017 however that are definitely more my speed. Plus it includes some non-Erin Condren materials which is always a shock when it comes to me and planning.
Do you bullet journal? What do you include?
