So last night’s live podcast went swimmingly- big thanks to all the listeners that showed up! A fun time was had by all. Except Faeghleis, who has to edit all that nonsense into one coherent file for iTunes. Poor dude…
In the after-show, Frost and I were chatting about bets. I’ve been trying to angle it so that I could win a bet against him that would make him start a twitter account. Of course, you can’t just have one side of a bet- he needs some sort of potential reward to justify his risk! Well, his suggestion was that if I lose, I would have to make him the poet laureate of OutDPS. Except the more I thought about this, the more I liked the idea… I know he hates poetry, and I think that’s the sign of an excellent poet. I couldn’t have a bet where I wanted to lose- it’s just not fair!
Without further ado, I would like to announce that Frostheim is officially… crowned? Knighted? Promoted? Whatever. Frost is now the poet laureate of OutDPS! What does this mean? Some day when you’re minding your own business, your RSS reader might suddenly slap you in the face with a terribad poem signed by Frostheim.
I gotta start thinking up other silly titles for people.
Euripides
jurgwena
lemli
eidotrope
pherra
femaledwarf
Shadowstreak
Awesomesauce…
This is a brilliant idea! We have a poet laureate in England and they have to write poetry for special occasions, this means Frostheim will have to write poems for all the patch’s and I’d love to see a Lich King themed haiku :D
Oh and traditionally Poet Laureates are paid a small sum of money compensated with a large amount of alcohol, to aid the creative thought involved obviously.
I am paying him in friendship bracelets.
Ahem, I believe laureates are supposed to be rewarded with laurels. So, maybe, friendship bracelets made of bay leaves?
But yeah, I agree, this should be fun.
Well laurels and friendship bracelets are well and good… But I bet frostheim wouldn’t turn down a barrel of rum or a bottomless glass of port :D
To be completely honest, I can’t afford any of this stuff :\ He’ll have to do with my unending gratitude and a promise to only make fun of his poetry a little bit.
haha Wellllll if he never reads this then you’re all good :D Maybe you being a good blogger will be payment enough for him :)
Oh and thanks for the site, it’s helped me and the other hunters in my guild no end ^_^
lol I look forward to reading these poems :P
I think first order of business is to print the lyrics for the Hunter Song. The music was copyright, but the lyrics are still original work.
That’s a darn good idea.
I was just listening to podcast 24, where you told him you wanted this.
