    soooo....

    and also:

    "In 1973, the Haiku Society of America noted that the then norm for writers of haiku in English was to use seventeen syllables but they also noted a trend towards shorter haiku.[6] This trend is borne out by the Winter 2010 edition of Frogpond, which contains haiku with an average of 10.5 syllables, varying from six at the shortest to 15 at the longest."

    actually I am impressed with your knowledge of artisan cheeses.
    I'm sure Gene would bow to your cheese knowledge...

    oh, don't be - I Googled cheeses and got it off iluvcheeses.com or something;

    what's even sadder is that I missed the OBVIOUS:

    Of Gene's love of cheese.

    I am; but that notwithstanding, AFAIK, quarterly journals will at times count the first edition of the year as the Winter issue; that, or WikiP had a wittle typo...

    there once was an admin named Gene,
    (no, he wasn't the dancin' machine..)
    he'd let db's post,
    (Hardwork posts the most)
    then he'd lick the ninjettes sqeaky clean.
