Thought of doing some limericks and thought I would share.

The laconic poster named NG
Who types his message for free
You better take his advice
And never think twice
Or he'll target your rear with his knee

She drops in on your post for a spell
She a has a real name, but goes by Mel
No beating around
Because she has found
If they all worked the PLAN it would be swell

I can think of another named Pep
Who always has a witty spring in her step
She speaks to those who are haughty
And speaks of things quite naughty
But where we would be without Pep?

Scotty is the queen of plan B
She will tell you how empowering it can be
And as it draws near
Please don't you fear
Your healing will be there for all to see

Feel free to add.

Sit with me and calculate the odds
Of the danger posed by uncouth clods.
Anger and frustration
Would hurt MB nation,
Without the vigilance of the Mods!


Sincerely,
A Recidivist Clod

Exposure, Exposure is what we all say
It's the best chance you have to make the OP go away
So work up your courage with all of your might
Affairs won't last long once exposed to the light
So work the MB plan, it is the best way

So part of exposure is called Carrot and Stick
An amazing tool which is ever so slick
No conflict but strength with calmness abound
Then bring in the stick which is sure to astound
Be ready for anger, for the FOG will be thick

When needing to turn a wayward's head
Plan A is your butter and bread
But if there head is too thick
and you are quick with the stick
They'll likely get lumps on their head

You may find during plan A your at the end of the trails
You enter plan B after covering details
Personal growth will occur with much delight
Sprout your wings proudly and then take flight
We fly proudly with colorful nails

I got ya covered, Logan:

If your spouse has stopped showing affection,
And cheating is clear, through inflection,
You need not give 'em Hell.
You only need shout "Mel!"
They don't want to mess with our Texan!


Yeah? Well, if you think rhyming something with "Texan" is hard, "Oklahoman" will be impossible!

Oh, not so fast, my palaverous pal!


So you think your spouse ain't a roamin'
And you've ignored every sanguinous omen
Then along comes ol' Mel
Lack of fidelity the smell
that brought this affair killin' Oklahoman

To my aid came others
Given my druthers
Writing limericks is fun
Though some may shun
Thank you my MB brothers!

There once was a lady named Mel,
Who said "Ah, you never can tell.
There's no magic wand,
So be bl**dy Bond!
Then armed right with the truth, bring h*ll."

Second verse.....

There's no reason to remain quiet.
Fogbabble, you better not buy it!
Follow the lead of Mel,
Bring a shotgun and Hell,
And model your actions on Wyatt!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww

Adorable!

I'm taking a mini vacay from posting on the real MB advice forums.
Time to refresh and renew myself. I notice that I sort of run out of gas ever since my surgeries and I decided that I need to focus on myself a lot more.

It's all good.
cool
