Decimating the connected population of a quake 3 server near you, no doubt...

Is she simply blasting away on Quake IV?  Could she be doing complicated technical things with radio telescopes?  Maybe she's even tracking down a new avatar...

Or maybe she's found love and has simply decided to leave the red-blooded males of this forum behind?

Perhaps all of the above...?

@ PMC

Well if she doesn't come back soon I may have to resort to lamenting her absence by means of an ode or two...

Maybe she's on the blob... sorry... I'll flagellate myself now...

If a sock is involved he's going to be "laminating" her absence...

Erm,

Cool breezes blow
Fallen leaves are glistening
We're all sad
Because Blobrana's missing

(PMC goes for the worst poetry award of 2005...)

 The forums have gone quiet,
 Blobzie's missing from Amiga.org
 But I think I know what's happened,
 She's been assimilated by the borg.


..me joins PMC for worst poet of the year.

A red trail slashes.
Another fragbait crumples.
Who's next? Three frags left...

No news on all things celestial
absent is a certain Blob
If you think this is bad
X-ray can't keep his mind on the job

The poor man can't think straight
because he's very keen
On the very pretty lass
Who hails from Aberdeen

Could she be staring at the heavens?
Or arm in arm with a beau?
Maybe she's off on holiday?
We wish she's let us know

You have taken the lead.

another one:

Brass rains from on high.
Deftly avenged by gauntlet.
Humiliating.

She glows so pretty.
Azure, her colour of death.
One shot; Quad Damage.

Relentless plasma
Blasted them all asunder
Three down. Impressive.

@Karlos,
 Haikus ??? methinks working with Macs is beginning to affect you. Next you'll be absent from A.org while you goto book club and playing sudoku ;-)

@Doobrey

Actually I think it's due to playing too much Q3 myself in the last few days ;-)

As it goes, I'm informed a proper haiku has 5,7,5,7,7 syllables, so I guess these are just semihaikus...
Title: Re: Where's Blobrana?
Post by: NoFastMem on November 04, 2005, 01:57:24 PM
Proper Haikus aren't actually measured in syllables, strictly speaking.

> Blobrana Disappear

Maybe it had something to do with strange UFOs all over the world:

1. Germany -> Hyperion MP.
2. USA -> Troika, Amiga Inc.
3. Canada -> Tundra Chipset.
4. Netherlands -> Netventures VC (the owner of Amiga Inc).
5. North Ireland -> Riverdeep, XACP (the owner of Tao Group)
6. Japan -> OCPA (related to Tao Group)

From Reuters:
Numerous sightings of massive fireballs in the skies over Germany this week have led to an upsurge in reports of UFOs, but scientists believe the cause could be a bizarre annual meteor blitz.
According to the Web site of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), such fireballs have been reported elsewhere in the world and may also be due to the fact that the Earth is now orbiting through a swarm of space debris.
Many people in Germany have noticed the fireballs, said Werner Walter, an amateur astronomer in Mannheim who runs a Web site on unexplained astronomical phenomena and a hotline for reports on unidentified flying objects (UFO).
"The last reported sighting was yesterday at 7:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) in a corridor near the border of the Netherlands," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"This week we have had at least 15 emails and phone calls from people reporting these fireballs," he said. "Some people said it looks like something out of a science fiction horror film."
In addition to a possible meteor streak, Walter said amateur and professional astronomers were considering the possibility that the blitz was the result of a "falling satellite or UFOs."
"It is possible that they are UFOs, which are after all things which we cannot explain," he said.
NASA's science Web site mentions reports of recent fireball sightings in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, North Ireland and Japan.

Is the "mostly" due to the effects of all the awful poetry dedicated to your good self?
