    OK, this should draw 'Toum out.

    Penultimate? Pish!
    It's florid gimcrackery
    And Deadwood sucks balls

    You say requiem?
    I would say it more likely
    Just about killed him.
     
  3. Posts like the prior
    are why I come to this board.
    Had to type this fast.

    Unfair tactics, these.
    Out of hiding, you force 'Toum.
    You all suck at this.

    ;D

    Bad breaks and poor counts,
    Dools' hellish haiku hallmarks.
    Along with poor taste.

    A sinner, a saint?
    Still quoting Meredith Brooks?
    Fourteen years; move on.

    Jed Bartlet retort,
    Inevitable, I wait.
    But Sorkin trumps Brooks.

    Running the risk of crossing a line, my favorite haiku from 'Toum. It was the ... ahem, climax of a PM argument/discussion we were having.

    Disappointment? Ha!
    Haikus: Toum's second-best skill.
    Pleasing women? First. 8)

    Old night crew, it's missed.
    Where have you gone, Terry Haute?
    Good times well wasted.

    Much love for the thread.
    Imitation? Flattery.
    Except when it's Dools.

    Requiem? Not dead.
    Just lurking; ever lurking.
    Back to the shadows...

    Ha ha ha ha ha!
    Quoted for posterity.
    Awesome, Toum once was.
