Title: Character Epitaphs
Post by: dom on April 26, 2005, 04:32:44 PM
I thought it might be fun to revisit an old topic; To try and come up with epitaphs for DS characters. Serious, funny, poems, limericks, etc....

The last time this topic was visited was in Sept. 2002. (Some of them are hysterical!) Since the influx of new members, and the debut of Caption this! I've read some really clever captions and insights into the show and it's characters. Not to mention the creative graphics/artwork. There's a whole lot of creative juices flowing here, and I'm loving it. (It makes moderating a bit more interesting and fun.)  So I am eager to read what some of the new (as well as the old) blood can come up with.

Here I am
Here I lie
With glass in hand
Here's mud in your eye

The Ballad Of Quentin Collins


  Some say he was a bastard,
  a sarcastic little schmuck.
  He was no good to no one,
  but boy, could that dude _ _ _ _ .  (fill in your own)

  His body was a portrait,
  beautiful when nude.
  Quentin, Quentin Collins,
  lascivious and lewd.

  Romantic in the twilight,
  passionate at dawn,
  he whispers oh so sweetly,
  "Let's do it on the lawn."

  "Let's do it in the kitchen,
   lets do it on the stairs."
  "Let's do it at the Old House -
   if Willie's there, WHO CARES!"

  You romp together happily
  through woods and fields and glen,
  he rolls you in the flowers,
  and nails you once again.

  Together lying quietly
  while staring at the sky,
  you turn to him, he winks and says,
  "I know...I'm quite a guy!"

Connie dear, you ARE a romantic!

sighing at the rhapsodic lyricism of it all (while taking inner wicked delight at the "painterly" crenellations of a nude Quentin Collins),

Well thanks guys.  LOL      

Ya know, I actually wrote some of that back around 1970 -- finished it off 4 or 5 years ago.  (I'm a slow writer.  Steve will attest to this.)  [lghy]

I failed to properly communicate what I was going for in this topic, and I apologize.  :-   I am going for things one would expect to read on the Tombstone/Headstone of a DS Character.

Don't get your hopes up. This is just temporary.
