All the RMers Gone with the Wind

[tragabigzanda]

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

It’s obviously verb and leaving him off the list (poll) is banworthy.

[wease]

LV for sure.

[wease]

I should have stayed away. I could have made this list, maybe, if i didn't come back.


I've never made a list

Your kiss is on my list

[epilogue]

So I feel like we should have four regions for the "Lost" RMers tourney.

I'm thinking: Vanished, Vanquished, Vacationing

Are easily three obvious regions. What should be the fourth? I feel like Banned is the obvious choice but that breaks the alteration.

We shouldn't fat shame our fellow RMers, no matter who they voted for

[96583UP]

if i add or change the poll it erases current votes

we all know verb belongs on the list

the others, not so sure about

the inference here is that there are RMers that we actually want back

think about this, before you sully this thread with future references to beta males

Alex - too long ago
Run to self . Run to destroy charlie black seek n destroy - not sure what this is
Balki - already on the list
Soma lol - not ringing a strong bell
Malice - i might start a petition for the FTC to shut down RM if this serial malcontent came back

You didn't add verb yet either - front of mind, may he find solace in his sabbatical

Self's disappearance for over six months has been irksome - idk

see above

there was a rationale provided! to protect the integrity of the polling results. electoral integrity is something we fight for aggressively here in the U S of A

[96583UP]
