My Mountain Town

1. Happy Camper: Twas the night before Christmas on MyMountainTown, not a creature was stirring not even Vice Lord that saucy Old Clown.

2. ExtremeModerate: The Bengals jersey's were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that the superbowl would soon be there.

3. Morningstar1954: All My Mountain Town posters were nestled snug in their beds
While visions of stuffed pork chops- n- cherry cheesecake danced in their heads

4. HappyCamper: With Sharon in her heels and I in my slippers we both had just sat at our keyboards with a glass of wine and some Kippers.

(Just to keep the continuity of the poem, this next entry is ineligible to win)
SC: "When here in the forums, there arose such a clatter (THAT'S IT!!!!!!!)"

5. LOL: "And Happy Festivus is all that matters.......

6. HappyCamper: Away to my keyboard I flew like a flash.
Tore open the Ring and cleared my Cache.

7. LOL: ....I slipped on the ice and fell on my {donkey] ash

8. Morningstar1954: The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
gave the luster of mid day to the snowballs I would throw

9. quadman: I don’t post much but those who’ve seen them would cheer,
I think this dude only posts when he drinks lots of beer.
:givemebeer:

10. LOL: I resemble that remark and I am deeply offended. You will be hearing from my real estate lawyer tommarrow FYI
THAT'S IT!
GO Broncos!

11. HappyCamper: With flashy shorts and the sound of a click.
I knew right away it must be the Chic.

12. HappyCamper: WHAT nothing for my quick wit you never know where this little poem will go :wave:

13. otisptoadwater: Perhaps it will end up under a deep bank of snow? Then again I think no...

14. ComputerBreath: More rabid than Black Dog their coursers they came
And Chic whistled & shouted & called them by name
Now Camper, Now Viking, Now Navy & LOL
On Quadman, on E-Mod, on Otis, & Star
To the top of the League, to the top of the Board
Now Go away, go away, go away Vice Lord!

15. jf1acai: As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
To support MMT, and of course SC too!

16. homeagain: Who KNEW that ComputerBreath could call it so TRUE.....
and then there are some, who have no clue...
But never fear ,for what we have here.....we hold so dear......
GOOD TIDINGS to all for the coming NEW YEAR..... :biggrin: :wave: :biggrin:

17. TPP: WARNING:
If male do not awake the turtle, to pee outside, as the chill will cause your will(y) and berries to turn into a Vienna sausage, and grapes.
Tis not the end of this horrible tale, as if by change, you do flow, the wind will blow, and surely you'll have to break the flow.
MORALE:
Wear flannel Boxers, and NEVER pee into the wind.

PS. take meds, before posting.....

18. UNDER MODERATION: Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the MMT house
Not a poster was stirring, not even a mouse.
The bait was layed by the campfire with care,
In hopes that Vice Lord soon would be there.

The Wing Nuts were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of VL Posts danced in their heads.
And Gramma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our bird brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should see,
But a Vice Lord Post, and a feeling of glee.

With a handsome driver, so lively and Nice,
I knew in a moment it must be The Vice.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called out the wing nuts by name!

"Now Viking! now, Walter! now, Blazer Bob and Hippie!
On, ! On, Rick! on, on Fred and Otis!
To the top of the page! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! And STFU all!"

To be continued

19. HappyCamper: And then with a beep, I read in the thread
The words of the Vice Lord man I thought he was dead.
As blinked my eyes, and clicked the next page,
His words were evil, and full of rage.

20. HappyCamper: He continued to post, I hoped he would not linger,
I wanted to log-off but instead gave him the finger.
A bundle of bull he posted right back,
And he looked like a fool or at best a hack.

21. LOL and he is a past posting wannabe gambler,
And I am a rambler. :)
Haha

22. quadman: His words were like daggers, in fact they were scary,
His posts sounded stupid, I pictured his face and his nose it was hairy.
The stump of his head he held tight in his rump,
And he’s not exactly Einstein, he’s just an old grump.
:givemebeer:

23. HappyCamper: You know Amazon and EBay, Google and Pinterest,
Utube and ESPN and CNN and Craigslist.
But do you recall?
The most famous Web Site of all?

My Mountain Town the mountain forum web site
Had a very shaky start,
And if you ever logged in there
You would see it’s off the charts

And all of the other web sites
Used to ban us and call us names.
They never let us speak our minds
Instead they kicked us out on our behinds.

Then one Sunny Summer Day,
SC came to say,
Posters with your thoughts so bright,
Come log on my web site tonight.

Then all the posters loved her,
And shouted My Mountain Town’s name out with glee,
Science Chic and My Mountain Town
You'll go down in history!!!!

24. Rick: From down in the flatlands I've looked at that cross
the gate to my old home, some memories lost

This old house I live in is perfectly cool
but it's missing that pine smell and and the beaver dam pools

I know I will get there, just a matter of time
until then I'll post here with a mountain state of mind

One day I'll meet SC and ask her a favor
to forgive me for being an unsociable neighbor

So until then I'll just say my motives are clear
to move back to the mountains, THEN buy SC a Beer!

:biggrin:

25. LOL: Big Dookie Got Run Over By A Mule deer
Walking home from the sports bar Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and SC, we believe

Big Dookie been drinkin' too much swill beer
And we'd begged him not to go
But he'd left his computer logged on to MMT
So he stumbled out the door into the snow

When they found Big Dookie Christmas mornin'
At the scene of the attack
There were hoof prints on his forehead
And incriminatin' Claus marks on his back

Big Dookie's Labtop got run over by a Mule deer
Stumbling home from the sports bookie on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But Big Dookie won't be posting any more on MMT! lol :rofllol

26. pacamom: We have ourselves a merry little website
SC’s got it right
From now on
We hope MMT troubles are out of sight

We have ourselves a merry little bunch here
We Hope that all will stay
From now on
We Hope that it will be that way

Faithful posters who are always here
as in olden days
Posting from far and near
Joined together once more

Through the years
We will all be together
If the courts allow
Hang a shining star upon SC’s brow
Let’s have a merry little Christmas now

27. HappyCamper: She has a bright smile, and her post sometime stern,
Her respect that is not a given rather something you must earn.
Her causes are clear, her support is true,
And those who debate this well, I feel sorry for you.

28. quadman: With a click of her mouse and a twist on this thread,
With SC posting we have nothing to dread,

While we all hoped he would speak not a word, but no luck he would lurk,
After his last post, VL is a jerk,

SC has her finger on the pulse of the town,
And with this new website, we’ll never be down,

(Okay Happy, bring it home...)

29. HappyCamper: SC sprang to our aid, since banning was an issue,
Pinecam is behind us now, so need for a tissue.

But I heard her exclaim, ere she logged off the site,
Merry Christmas to all and Happy posting tonight.

Thanks Sharon Cheers!!!!!!

30. pineinthegrass: Sung to "Walking in a Winter Wonderland"...

Shovlin' snow, and it's freezing
Nose is red, and I'm wheezing
No power tonight,
I've got no sight
Living in a winter wonderland

Can't call out, no cell phone service
Can't log in, gettin' nervous
My toes are all numb,
Frost bite on my thumbs
Living in a winter wonderland

{chorus}
Maybe I can go and get my iPad
Then pretend I'm on My-moun-tain-town?
But I forgot to charge it, I feel So Bad!
So I'll just drink until the moon goes down

Morning now, pipes are broken
Power's back, well pump is smokin'
No plumber's around,
I'm off to town
Shopping for my winter wonderland

{chorus}
In the city I might find a doctor
Then pretend that he can save my toes
But that's because I ain't got insurance
Hope Obamacare will cure my woes

Back home now, the sun is shining
Flooded house, though I'm smiling
I took my happy pills,
Feelin' no ills
Sleepin' in a winter wonderland.

Living in a winter wonderland
Dreamin' in a winter wonderland

Proudly serving mountain Jeffco, Clear Creek & Park County!

Crap, I didn't pay attention to the cutoff date of the contest, my poem was just a warmup and wasn't about Christmas...BAH! Some good entries to pick from though.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I was surprised it ended so early too, tough to vote there are 2-3 really good ones... I can't decide.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

Sorry guys, we wanted to have enough time to allow for the voting, then to get the gift card, and hopefully deliver it before Christmas (scheduling can be a challenge this time of year, especially with family arriving in town, people going out of town, etc).

And just because we're voting on the ones submitted before the deadline, doesn't mean that we can't continue adding entries and having more fun with it! :) (but less about me please - I'd love to see more about the site and other members - let's get really creative!)

If SC will give the gift card to Photo-fish, then I suggest we all vote for Vice Lord.

What do you think SC?

Sorry guys, that's a whole different contest that VL needs to choose to honor. I don't want to punish the people who spent time and effort coming up with original posts for this contest, nor go against the spirit of the generous donation of one of our members to provide a $100 gift card for this contest.

If you vote for 23 I would be happy to split the $100.00 with Photo-Fish.

Thanks everyone who voted for my entry. There were a lot of good ones. I had trouble deciding which entry deserved my vote. :Whistle

SC - Can I split the gift card between two advertisers? Please?

Congratulations pacamom!

Yes, you certainly may split it between 2 advertisers, please PM me and let me know which two you'd like.

Thank you everyone for participating, it was so fun; feel free to continue adding to it, or start something else like it!
