In Which @Daecabhir And @PandasHeart Have Happy News

Who says that Ren faires bring us nothing good?
'Twas thereat, I believe, that Gregory
(Called Daecabhir amoung the wondrous 'hood
We call the internets) did chance to see
And flirt with a belle femme there, whom we know
As Panda's Heart. True love at soonest glance,
I think, for Greg and Anna, 'neath the glow
Of torchlight. Lo, how sweetly time and chance
Brought dorks to love - and now today we learn
That it's for keeps, for quite out of the blue
Hath Greg announced that she's his wife. I yearn
To hug them both, but this will have to do.
Huzzah, forsooth; here's wishing many years
Of happiness, and lovely ales and beers.

In Which An Engagement Is Announced That Shows All Is Right With The World - Or That The Zombie Apocalypse Is Imminent - Or Both

My friend, James Melzer, cried out "Hey there, BEAAAAANNNNS,

How 'bout we climb up in that Zombie Tree

And fight off walking death from there. I means

For good. And between battles, why don't we

Make sweet love by the fire?" "Oh, well, of COURSE!"

Quoth our Jennifer Hudock. Hold the phone --

Did Melzer just sprout antlers by main force

Of Beanses' strange imagination? Own

It James, you are her hero and I'll say

The antlers suit you well, and as does that hue

Of green she's got you wearing. Shout "hooray"

My readers, at the wondrous schemes these two

Concoct both for themselves and all of us.

I'll say this news is worth making a fuss!

Sonnet Rant: I Am Somewhat Disappointed In The Great State Of California This Afternoon

It's possible that I was in denial.

I thought for sure that Proposition 8

Would soon be headed for that growing file

Of stupid laws we laugh at and berate

Our ancestors for having on their books:

Like banning public bowling, or the play

of dominoes on Sunday, but it looks

As though in California, if you're gay,

You'd better have already tied the knot

With your sweetheart. And if you've yet to find

The right one, plan to elope to Vermont.

They used to say that Iowa's behind

The times, but now the Golden State would seem

To have gone back to the first age of steam.
