Silly, sad little things. No wonder fully half of you voted for the real defintion! How can you expect to fool anyone when you don't even use the correct part of speech? ThinMan no longer Brainiac ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 1997 19:16:15 EDT From: edg@juno.com Subject: Acka: Duel It seems that, unbeknownst to me, the Duel between Robert Sevoin and I has bee held up by, of all people, me. I offer my sincerest appologies to RS, and offer as my only defense the recent deluge in mail I have experienced. I must have missed it, and it was a fine Limerick. In response I offer the following: I really like the game Ackanomic Whose Ruleset, like its Kodex, is truly tomic, Filled with sub-games galore And Entities I adore. But I kinda miss the buddy who was Gnomic. Respectfully, Habeus Corpus ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 1997 18:38:17 -0500 (CDT) From: "Joseph W. DeVincentis" Subject: Acka: Duel Vote Not entirely in accordance with any rule, I am calling a vote on an unofficial limerick contest called for an unofficial duel between Robert Sevin and Habeous Corpus. Please send your votes to me (devjoe@wilma.che.utexas.edu). The voting shall end three days from the time of this message. Robert Sevin's Limerick: H.C. once detestably designed, To slander harf's image -- He opined: "Harf is far from the best," (And it was not a jest), The claim was opprobrious and unkind. Observer Habeous Corpus's Limerick: I really like the game Ackanomic Whose Ruleset, like its Kodex, is truly tomic, Filled with sub-games galore And Entities I adore. But I kinda miss the buddy who was Gnomic. /dev/joe Gamesmaster, for a little while. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 1997 20:03:33 -0400 (EDT) From: John Frederic Mc Coy Subject: Re: Acka: Duel Vote On Mon, 21 Apr 1997, Joseph W.
