Blogger Rob Beschizza,
With Photoshop he’s a wizzer.
The politician who lies,
Will find his lips his eyes
Mark Frauenfelder
Esteemèd BoingBoing elder
Exacerbates the tragedy
Of single-use kitchen gadgetry

BBSer @Melizmatic
Is quite charismatic
Post something to spurn
And she’ll deal a sweet burn.
Happy b-day week, Melz!
@DukeTrout has me wishing
I was better at fishing,
And his posts give me need
For a share of his mead.
@ClutchLinkey on a lake was paddlin
Oh, where I won’t be taddlin
A sudden storm threw a spout
And more water was in than was out

His posts seem to embrace
A very wide range
From esoteric to strange.

Serves as our moderation provider
Tirelessly enforcing the rules
When we’re troubled by bridge-dwelling fools
@wazroth keeper of the card,
For when folk strike the bridge too hard.
How many trucks have met their fate,
Upon meeting eleven-foot-eight?
Not counting the many
You can have for your penny
Conflicts abound two pages before
