Title: Refrigerator Poetry
Post by: AugustWest on January 10, 2004, 02:31:50 am

Damn it's quiet in here.  Since it's getting a little lonely here in the study, I suppose I'll take it upon myself to at least attempt to stimulate a little activity.

Anybody else have refrigerator poetry?  Hows about posting some of the startling works of genius you shift around on your food box.  Here are some of my favorites:

-- Linger in torment, you nefarious animal.
-- Monkeys in glowing green grass
-- You is the space child
-- Love torments the prisoner
-- A concrete bath for a bird
-- Steam naked fat
-- Devour my bone
-- Fooled her baby
-- Perhaps a magic glass moon

I have perhaps too much fun sliding these damn little magnets around.  I just like the startling little shock you get when you something sounds funny, weird and right all at the same time.

Anybody else do this?

My roommate has the Genius set on our fridge. I haven't played with them lately, but the best currently-existing examples are "sanguine the obscure ersatz" and "eschew acumen and clever endeavor."

I had like 9 sets on my fridge in college but haven't busted it out since. I'll consider it.

My brother got a faily comprehensive set at christmas, and I had a tinker... though I can't remember my opus.

how would you rob my dirt shop

temerity kills the herculean

I don't have a porcelain dog

we love our mean old ugly caterwauling feline

festoon this protuberance

I drive like I'm going to hell FAST

the big fool is a miscreant


And my favorite:
time to eat bugs
why?
they are good
I see crazy man

I don't have any of the poetry sets, but rather the mix-and-match proverb set (I don't think the company makes it anymore, but they do have a Mind Your Mother (http://www.fridgedoor.com/fridgedoor/mindyourmother.html) set).

Some current favorite proverbs are:

Money is it's own reward
Ignorance conquers all
What you don't know breeds contempt
Virtue makes Jack a dull boy
Flattery makes the world go 'round
