Title: Ode to my favourite inanimate object
Post by: Martinus on March 26, 2006, 10:52:55 am: Seen this on another forum, thought it was quite a lot of fun, basically do as the thread title suggests. Picture is optional but it's nice to see the thing that enraptures you so. ;)

I love you Purple Monster,
you are so good to me.
It intrigues me and amazes,
you work by sorcery.
Some kind of wondrous magic
and elec-trickery.
I'll rig you with explosives,
in case of burglary.

Damnit Taz, you annoyance
You wake me every morn'
To give you food and pet you
And yet I do not scorn
You lie in front o' the monitor
I thought I was the master
But oh how wrong I was
You cunning, furry bastard

(Taz is actually a she, but "*****" didn't rhyme and besides, she is not a *****.)

... elec-trickery.

Haha, brilliant.
Next time I don't know the solution to some exam problem on electrical engineering, I'll slip that one in ;)

It's just a bad picture, and one of the only ones I could find at the moment. She's actually very cute and cuddly, basically like a big kitten.
