I'm part of a

and dark sunglasses? LOL.
Well, if FP and his
multiple identities can be a part of a conspiracy, then
so can we. LOL.
Okay, see you in tomorrow's tea
time.

Time for bed for me
too. I may be around later in the afternoon tomorrow
(tons of work on my desk). Best bet is probably to post
in the corkboard or around Tea Time. I'll be on the look
for your post. Nothing urgent of course; it can wait
until next week. FYI, I'm usually not on on the
week-ends. Doesn't seem like it, but I do have a life!!
hee, hee
Good night to FP too. Hope he doesn't mind
out little conspiracy!

Of course I'll give
you all the tids I have. I think I've recorded them all
in my notebook. Yes I keep notes on the threads I find
most interesting. I have a lot of pages to go through,
so can you wait until tomorrow because it's kind of late
for me right now? Plus, I'm in another thread or two,
which you may have noticed. LOL. Also, I like your
theory on our beloved host of tea time. Perhaps, again I
am overthinking everything. I'm certain FP is loving
every minute.
BTW I'll title the thread under
your name okay, so it'll be easy for you to find it.

I know it's lot to
ask, but would you have the tids for early Tea Times?
Would like to start hitting the books.
Still
wondering whether there is really a "portal to open" or
whether we're not just simply encouraged to experiment
with verses. (isn't that the purpose of forensic:
promoting debate, speech, writing and poetry?). Maybe
that's "all" it is ? Actually a whole lot, and I'm also
enjoying myself a great deal around here (although I may
never actually fulfill FP's dream to see all of us
experiment with iambic pent., I love reading them and
that's something, right?)
An oasis of calm and
sophistication!
Look forward to continuing these
discussions.

BTW I loved your BTVS
analogy. The only books that we can hit are his past tea
time threads. And boy are there a lot of them. I do
think that he wants us to give up the haiku form and
begin tackling the sonnet form or at least compose some
couplets or quatrains in iambic pentameter. What he will
do with these verses is still beyond my occipital grasp.
What door will they open for us? All I know is that I'm
glad, proud, and excited to be a part of all of this
with you guys.
Until the next Tea Time I bid you
adieu.
Adieu!

I don't know if FP is
a tv insider. I do know that he has met James Marsters,
in a grocery store. How do I know this? Well it was one
of the earliest tea time thread topics.
FP also
has two more aliases, one obivous one is
ThePowersThatTea and another, not so obvious one
is monkeywithoutpants. One time I said something
very naughty to monkeywithoutpants, this was before I
knew FP's other identities and I think before Tea Time
was even created. I discussed his other personas with
him in an earlier thread. If you're interested I'll go
look for the tids.
:o)

I'm in. I'll be your
Willow (book expert here!),ummmm... but not as smart.
OK, then, I'll be your Xander; comic relief but loyal
friend.
Any idea where to start? Poetry is
definitely a key.
I tried to decipher the Oracle's
riddles (if they are actually riddles). Shimmering wall;
something about a house of glass? Clueless so far.
TV
insider are you sure?) with time on their hands?
Probably works from home. A writer?
I don't know; it
may just all be smoke and mirrors too... Confused, head
hurts... Oops, I hear a noise. Catch up with you later
dear scoobies... look forward to solving the
mystery.

Up until today the
question of what the portal is and what it means wasn't
really important to me. The journey to the portal was
all that mattered. Now, the Oracle seems to be quite
emphatic that we try to pass through the portal. Glow
had a remarkable breakthrough today and I was thinking
that if we all worked together we might be able to
figure this out. In the Buffyverse we could just get
Spike to beat the crap out of a certain someone for all
the answers. But I think we will just have to hit the
books and do some research.
Let's start with all
of FPs identities. So far I've got Forensic Popouri,
tvgoodguy, the oracle and that new guy, Mr. Versachip.
Anyone remember any more.
Also I think FP might
be a TV insider. He knows way too much about SMG.
What kind of job does he have that lets him host
Tea every day?
Shhhh. I think I hear him coming!
'Til tomorrow.

I too am drawn to the
Tea Time threads everyday. It's like a taste of academia
in the bronze. It's fun, challenging, and rewarding.
Funny, how the bronze can contain such a broad spectrum
of people and themes. Who would have thought a tv show
could affect and influence such a variety of people and
discussions.

and, like you, I can't
belive what FP has done to us. I find myself chatting
about ... alliterations?? Is this a hell dimension? or
just untold side effects of Tea Time? F
P, you well
know I could sue for failure to warn Bronzers about the
dangers of Tea Time!! hee, hee.

I didn't post all that
stuff so that you would lose another nights sleep so I'm
apologizing profusely now. From now on feel free to
ignore my ramblings until the next day at
least.
Also, I enjoyed your pentamarized version of
the poem. Now I can spend sometime analyzing the beat in
your version. It's what I do remember...see the problem
, define the problem, analyze the problem , fix the
problem. I should point out however I'm not really a
poet. I just started this insanity when I met you. Prior
to this I had written just one poem and it's not really
complete. Why do I do this? Because it's hard and it's
fun and it's fun because it's hard.
Until Tea
Time.

Hey Glow - got ur post about being Canadian
- lucky u - such a lot of great wilderness up there! +
read the tid.....hmmm. You were looking for respect - he
had a point to make, with good intentions...even virtual
relations r fraught! - no wonder Buffy/Spike split
up!
And first it is verse + now it is french
verse. It is a plague - no it's a curse! I'm propping up
bar tonight - remember it's late here - incoherent
much......

I did not even notice
the aliteration in your translation. Thanks for pointing
it out to me! Chatting with Bronzers capable of
translating Racine makes me slightly dizzy.... have to
... sit down. :)
Have to run but look forward to
reading Tea Time later.

My translation still
contains alliteration of the 's' sound. I love the use
of alliteration and assonance. Here is another literary
term, onomatopeia. My translation uses the word 'hiss'
which can be classed as an onomatopeia.

your French chip works
fine FP.
Actually the quote works best in French
because of the succession of "s" sounds that remind the
reader of the sound a snake would make (we call this
poetic device an "alliteration."). It's a famous quote
from a tragedy by Racine and one of my favorite too. It
talks of danger and doom and destiny (smile) and
treason... well you get the picture. Such complex
concepts in one little sentence...

Don't give me ideas...
I may actually do it! (If only I could remember my
oh-so-distant background in French litterature... and,
hey, if I could also remember my native language...that
would help). I did enjoy playing around with
"alexandrins" (6/6; 6/6) So I may actually go for it
some day...when you expect it the least!
Look
forward to reading Tea Time today.
