BBspot's Fifth Annual Geek Limerick Contest Results
Posted by Jess in Geek Humor

I submitted it so long ago and then forgot about it. Many thanks to Esther for sending me an email to ask if the Jess Stratton listed there was me!

Every year, my favorite tech-parody site, BBspot.com, holds a Geek Limerick Contest. It's very funny, one year someone even turned the entire Monty Python and the Holy Grail into a Limerick.

My limerick is the third link in the Honorable Mentions category. Be sure to check out all the previous years' winners also!

If you've never hung out at BBspot.com before, you are in for a treat. My favorite feature is the BBloopers section, in which readers submit browser screenshots of unfortunate ad-banner placements.

I got a tattoo, so Eloise wanted one too!

As a casual observer noted, "That stripe adds 10 horsepower right there!"

Whaddya know, he was right. :-)

The decal on the back is by happenstance... the vinyl was originally set for the window at my new place, however, it was much too small. A new one was ordered, and Matt said, "Well, I know a perfect spot for the old one!"

Whaddya know, he was right too. :-)
