Rough draft, 2/13/07

Ethereal Bligh's a feminist
Who spoke in lengthy paragraphs
loquacious was some other guy
Who mostly played the site for laughs

MiHail liked the portobellos
Became a legend, rest in peace
jonmc's the Everyman
He talked a lot, to say the least

stan chin got a golden star
But lost it after folks complained
Effigy2000 posted
well and got it back again

mathowie's the man in charge
Quit his day job, had a kid
jessamyn's library science
Kept the green unasshatted

asavage was mefi's own
He spent his workweek busting myths
It's Raining Florence Henderson
Adapted Arlo, always riffed

+++ 10 +++

y2karl was fond of small tags
Favored blues and politics
jonson's posts were often faved
He gave the blue its daily fix

matteo churned out stunning posts
But spoke of fascists, liked to mock
quonsar was a fishpants expert
Often chanted "smock smock smock"

languagehat's a language hag
Prayed for flameouts, argued words
amberglow showed lots of passion
Liked the fellas -- tough luck, birds

wendell's name was often dropped
when threads detoured from bad to worse
konolia declared herself
to be anus-expose-averse

MiguelCardoso liked to chat
They love him out in Portugal
madamjujujive's output
Would make our cup to overflow

+++ 20 +++

delmoi was a model mefite
Consistent, clearly spoken man
dhoyt was four different people
All of them extremely banned

Stavros was a wonderchicken
Korea's where he spent his time
ikkyu2's the AskMe doctor
Never charged a single dime

crunchland turned into Dave Faris
Either way the method's good
kindall ran the old self-link list
Projects stands where it once stood

ParisParamus was sassy
Liked to praise the GOP
dame did not take shit from no one
Lived it up in NYC

un owen scammed some people
Once said "hurf durf butter eater"
jenleigh was a made-up redhead
Lonely Scots had hoped to meet her

+++ 30 +++

son_of_minya went out flaming
Threatened to cut off his hand
Meatbomb earned himself a timeout
for Westfalia Treaty spam

Pot was shrill and unforgiving
Always calling Kettle black
Kettle wasn't any better
couldn't shrug off Pot's attack

hama7 split the middle
Heated comments, lovely posts
grumblebee was full of questions
More inquisitive than most

Alex_Reynolds got the boot
For acting like a drama queen
Pretty Generic got banhammered
He was screwing with the green

jkottke was an old-school member
Ran his own blog, popped some corn
Seth contended up through 04
Then took off, his welcome worn

+++ 40 +++

Keyzer Soze got in trouble
Asked the site to help him out
dios was our Charybdis
This song's about him, have no doubt

Astro Zombie had some sequels
Fractured clones named 2 and 3
cortex lived in metatalk
and sang about the things he'd see
