Re: tOfficial Bob misses Goose thread aka Come Back Goose thread

[Robert J Sakimano]

Mio is lovely at night
blonde children frolic so light
they're always kept safe
their feelings might chafe
they proceed to run off in fright

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a baker of pies
who loved Trump and his lies
his feelings would get hurt
he would sound an alert
it led to his message board demise

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a man named Guest
who had to get things off his chest
he would come here and rant
take jokes, he simply can't
he became overly stressed

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a man named Guest
the town of Mio he blessed
he would become incensed
his love of Trump, intense
he left as a form of protest

[Robert J Sakimano]

a poster once known as Goose
would sometimes become obtuse
he left in great stress
he's now known as Guest
his sadness, I hope, reduced

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a man named Guest
he loved the media the best
he would often post a link
I encouraged him to rethink
he did not like what I would suggest

[Robert J Sakimano]

Mio is a town of God
with a culture diverse and broad
as a virus grips the world
in Mio, American flags unfurl
to welcome those from countries flawed

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a man named Guest
who left not at our behest
I hope he's okay
and goes to church on Sunday
the people of Mio are blessed

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest issued his manifesto
he did it with an excited zest-o
it remains in this thread
I will read it 'til I'm dead
and anytime I feel depressed-o

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest's manifesto was good for a giggle
away from talking points, he did not wiggle
he watches the news
it explains his views
from Trump he will never wriggle

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a poster named Guest-o
who issued his manifesto
we were all amused
as usual, Guest was confused
I suspect he was not impressed-o

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest was a man that was woke
he struggled with taking a joke
if you made fun of his hero
his tolerance was zero
he left to be with his folk

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest was a proud GOP voter
and Trump really revved his motor
he didn't take kind
to others speaking their mind
he was Trump's biggest promoter

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a Russian bot
who Guest trusted a lot
children in cages
poor jobs, low wages
Guest cared diddly-squat

[Robert J Sakimano]

Mio is a place of delight
you can stroll the streets without fright
it's citizens are mellow
except for one fellow
his anger reaches new heights

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest is a man of Trump
Mio's ladies, far from plump
they are quite the lookers
they have laws against hookers
to conclusions, please don't jump

Does your wife know about Goose? Probably best not to tell her, she might get jealous. When was the last time you wrote pages upon pages of poetry for and about her?

[Robert J Sakimano]

envy is not your best color.

[Robert J Sakimano]

Mio is a place of great worth
it is filled with frivolous mirth
it's citizens live light
they are so lily white
it's a blessing on this Earth

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest was a man of respect
whose feelings we dare not neglect
he did run away
and to this very day
his manifesto we shall protect

[Cameron]

Don't worry, Bob, I'll keep your secret.

[Robert J Sakimano]

Don't worry, Bob, I'll keep your secret.

thank you.

Cameron is a man of his word
telling a secret would seem absurd
since the exit of Guest
we all seem depressed
we cope in ways unheard

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest was a man we admired
a sense of humor, though, is required
we would voice our concerns
about Guest we soon learned
his patience had grown quite tired

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a guy with a manifesto
you guessed it, his name was Guest-o
I read it from time to time
I cannot think of a rhyme
perhaps I should give it a rest-o.

[Robert J Sakimano]

instead of giving it a rest-o
I desperately miss my Guest-o
so I shall now bump
someone who loves his hero Trump
below is his manifesto

Greetings my Swill friends.

lol, this is close in a couple ways but wildly askew in others. I get up and check my email, answer any important ones. Cook breakfast which always includes eggs unless the grandkids are here - then they usually request pancakes or waffles. Coffee sets my AFib off so I drink one cup a week, I've missed my morning pot badly for 10 years now. Then I read my 3 newspaper sites (News, Freep, MLive), various message boards and couple of news aggregators. After that there's some daily variation depending on season and plans.
The not even close parts: I've logged into Twitter once since April - to say thanks to Lynn Henning. He and I shared many lively debates over the years as old farm kids, baseball and outdoors nuts and across a liberal/conservative divide. Somehow we never called each other names and remain friends.
The BS part is BS on your part. You and 90%+ of the Swill are raging liberals that consider yourselves purveyors of facts as you swallow the Covington, Smollett and other bullshit news whole as you blithely call any site you disagree with "propaganda" - how's the collusion propaganda going? Because you have a huge majority on the Swill you mistake that as being a reflection of America as a whole. You ignore the fact that Trump won, and is favored to win again by the people that are most accurate - the books. You are NOT reflective of America, most are more conservative than you and more liberal than me. I'm aware of that, most of you aren't.
If you think I'm blinded take a few, step back and think about the political leanings of those that have been driven from or simply chose to leave the board. There's a pattern in how people with opposing viewpoints are treated here.
Also I did NOT come post political content on the Swill - if I was posting political content it was in the Bin. That's the double standard that irked me most. The board doesn't need to be that way if people choose to respect boundaries. One of my other message boards started as a Tigers board but now has every sport covered and a massively active political section - the crossover is virtually zero. Why? Because people keep things separate and in the rare times it's needed the mods actually enforce it. And honestly that place is just as wildly liberal as the Swill - I guess most conservatives have better things to do than message boarding. At the Swill none of the mods could/would see it because it all agreed with their worldview. So I left, life goes on, yours and mine.
I'm not pissed at anyone, I'm just unwilling to be randomly abused because my political views are different than most of you. I've had those same views since before many of you were born, Trump has nothing to do with it and I don't spend 85% of my life obsessing over the orange man as many of you seem to. And by that I mean getting fucking offended by a headline because it comes from a source you don't approve of.
The Swill is eventually doomed anyway, the 2 people with the keys to the place are rarely there and essentially don't give a flying fuck except to say it's "their" board. Maybe there's some hope that tRCMB will implode someday and he can cash in, hell if I know.
Since Martin mentioned he liked the Mio thread, Ellie's 12 Tables is in this story - I've been flogging this diner for a while on the Swill. They won the voting for the best diner in northern Michigan. The question is how will they fare in the final standings. (Owned and operated by 2 members of our local LGBT community as are 2 other local eateries, amazing for those of you that think everywhere outside your little bubble is bigoted especially in a county that voted 70% Trump)

For my friend Bobby Sak: A new sport he needs to consider - combining his love of biking and snow.

For my friend Wakie: Happy Birthday and the CitiDouble Cash is a great card, it's my go to.
In closing I'm not going to lie and say I don't miss the place but in the end the shit there just wasn't worth it to me. I can get my Spartan fix at tRCMB and my Tigers fix at Motown Sports so I'm good. Have fun and enjoy yourself,

Goose aka "Guest" ;-)

PS - how's that for book length?

[Robert J Sakimano]

there once was a guy named Guest
with his sense of humor, please do not test
he could not take jokes
Coronavirus is a hoax
he loved Trump nonethless

[NigelUno]

What would Guest say at a time like this?


Nobody freaks out about the flu - "Guest"

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest thought that Covid was a hoax
republicans would laugh and make lots of jokes
they're not even remotely concerned
even less so after they learned
it's disproportionately killing black folks

[kingstonlake]

Remember when Matt Gaetz wore a gas mask to the house. That was HILARIOUS! Probably came up with the idea after him and the mouth breathers made fun of the virus on that plane ride with the president. I bet they had some really good ones. Trump: I’ll give you $1000 of taxpayer money if you wear a gas mask to work tomorrow. Gaetz: Bet!

Make a poem using “Constitution”. Goose loves The Constitution.

Guest loves the US Constitution
he does not support wealth redistribution
he awakes to his mainstream news
allows it to shape his views
his hero indulges in underage prostitution

[NigelUno]

That was a good one. Maybe the best yet.

[Robert J Sakimano]

That was a good one.  Maybe the best yet.

I haven't counted, but I suspect there are at least 80-100 Guest-inspired poems in the last 3-4 pages.

Maybe even more.

We should maybe print them off, put them in a leather bound scrapbook and deliver it to Mio - the multicultural hub of Michigan. Maybe include a pack of seeds.. and a pillow with a bible verse stitched into it.

[Robert J Sakimano]

Mio does not need COVID tests
they let Jesus take care of their health interests
they're washed in his love
he watches them from above
upon His golden shore they will rest

[Robert J Sakimano]

Trump is a christian man who leads
I don't even mind his rapist deeds
at the end of the day
I don't care what you say
I just want to buy seeds

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest advocates using disinfectant
it will cure all of those affected
so run to the mall
to buy some Lysol
it works best when injected

[Robert J Sakimano]

Guest prays that Trump is re-elected
no matter how many Russian girls he's infected
with a venereal disease
Trump aims to please
just don't ask if bleach should be injected

[Robert J Sakimano]

the patriots of Mio will often ask
why would you wear a mask?
the virus is a hoax
they grab a pack of smokes
in their govt checks they bask

[Robert J Sakimano]

100,000+ Americans have died
so many tears have been cried
despite being 'pro-life'
I am calloused to their strife
I read my bible with pride
