borrowing this from a long-gone 'skite who came up with the idea twenty_years_ago, because it might be a fun little diversion. the way it works is simple: a limerick is written by committee, with everyone taking turns contributing one line each. i'll start: there once was a toaster from seoul...

okay, that was glorious. i wasn't expecting to laugh so many delighted laughs along the way. the floor is now open and free of slipping hazards. if or when anyone gets the urge to start another chain of rhythmic rhymes, i'll gladly ride shotgun.

I'm laughing so hard at this because I definitely did not mean for that line about FauxGrr's contribution to be the start of a new limerick and it's completely delightful that it got turned into one. (And for clarity, none of this is meant to be a limerick either! But someone should start another one!)
