He came, he saw, Marf
Not stop attacking people
He went, he ban, Barf

Posing as two plus
Marf did that and more, cray-cray
Sockpuppets are bad

Marf as two plus more
Sockpuppets are bad, mmm-kay
Got ban stick for good

IDOT did a crappy job
Now 80 needs help.
I'm never wrong, just wildly inaccurate.

Since this thread was bumped,
I guess someone should compose
Haikus about Marf.

:bigass:

Challenge accepted:  :bigass:


Marf just took a barf
That he made into a scarf
Then he got a ban

we have yet to write
a haiku about that damned
hypotenuse

Hypotenuse is only 4 syllables.

Well, crap!  And to think how many times I counted its syllables to confirm it's only four, it's really irritating that I still didn't tack on an extra word in the final draft.

Well, crap! So it is!
Counted it so many times.
Needed one more word.

Why is I-5 65?
Raise it please ODOT.
ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

Here's a sign I saw
while browsing Google maps.  Dude,
button copy porn!

Inset exit tabs
ruin the aesthetics, danged
Caltrans renegades...

Don't try to tell me
there's a wind load problem.  Shoot,
this ain't Florida.

The three word game rocked
Too bad the thread got shut down
Bad moderation

The three word game rocked
Too bad the thread got shut down
Before I could play

Woes of being gone
You miss good stuff when the mods
Misuse the power

Typing this haiku
Aboard a westbound Amtrak
Somewhere in Utah

Train delayed by broke down freight
Leaving Chicago
And rerouted by the floods

Spending many hours
Parked at the Amtrak train stop
Omaha N-E


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Go from Chi-town to Sea-town

It's been two years now
I have a new employer.
Same industry, though.

Slightly diff'rent job;
Since March I've not been on-call.
Mental health improved.

Regular schedule,
Same eight hours ev'ry day.
Mental health improved.

No more long road trips,
Just quick runs 'tween yards and trains
Around Columbus.

No road trips for work.
Now I can enjoy driving
Far on my days off.

Central Avenue
And I have a new channel
To post road trip vids.

Not much to see yet.
I'd name the channel here, but
It's eight syllables.

I've been distracted
By so many other things.
What the heck's a Marf?
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

Forget ne'er-do-wells
And the incessant whiners
Back to the topic

Breezewood reviled
Another damn Clearview rant
Disliked new bridge name

Highway incomplete
Was it eminent domain
Or lack of funding?

Unnecessary
Exit dumps you off at the
Middle of nowhere

Never perfected
Lo! A new country club zoned
Right in future path

Dotted lines for now
Bickering developers
The sounds of silence

How else to explain
Half-assed projects dreamt up by
entire asshats.

Still a subject to be mocked
Ridiculed as well
