<div class="IPBDescription">Thing for school</div> Aight... I'm supposed to make a poem for school... that ties in with the Canturbury Tales...
My plan is to make a TSA Marine ready to leave for some R&R... but I need help...
I have just discovered that I can't rhyme to save my life...
And the worst part is, I need it by friday... as well as a PAPER BAG PUPPET of the character...
Must be a 20 line poem (minimum) in which you incorporate
Where the pilgrim is going
A physical description with details connected to occupation
Moral description w/ behaviors
Authors opinion (make fun of some aspect)
Rhymed couplets and two other poetic devices (ie, alliteration, metaphor, specific meter throughout, ect)
A model of the pilgrim (which I am now working on)
I have had a very busy week, and I only hve 2 more nights to do this... which sucks because tonight i have 3 soccer games to referee that I CANNOT back out of...
So yeah... I need help
Anyone up to the challenge? Reward will be... uh... um... a free slot icon on our server? I dunno... I'll think of something!

I didn't read the whole thing though, just the pardoners tale, the rest of it was split between the class.
Doesn't he have to beat us up first? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Nevertheless, this seems like fun, and I can sympathize with a refereeing scheduling conflict, so here's a couple of lines I thought up. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
There once was in the glorious TSA
A 'rine, who traveled to the cap ship's bay
In hopes that he might soon be off this ship,
For he so desper'tely wanted a trip
Back to the Earth. Vacations always seem
Much better when you're running from the scene
Of massive bloodshed which was caused, you see,
By hideous creatures not like you and me.
These beasts, the Kharaa, were bacteria
That lived and fought and brought hysteria
Upon the worlds out on the Outer Rim.
This seasoned soldier had fought them, though grim
His prospects of survival were. Instead
Of running he would rather face the head
Of mankind's enemy. His armor bore
The marks of battle. Oh, his muscles sore.
But now this soldier's life of war was done.
The fight was over and the battle won.
Or so he thought, for in that blink of joy
A hidden skulk claimed his leg as a toy.
that is bloody BRILLIANT!
We have one competitor so far, and it's a doozy!
Just got back from the referee "job"...
apparently they farked up the schedual... I made 10 dollars and got a free drink + set of new cards for doing jack all since they wasted like, 45 minutes of my life... XD
Ah well, time to work on my puppet now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I plan on making a full getup marine- gonna need to find me some piccys
I think the NS Media Pack should do... right?
EDIT
Wrong... I need to find a good picture of a Light Armor chest + Helmate and Face, along with a sheath for a knife and pistol... where can I find them? Currently searching Google... but dear god got like 4 million things to check 0o'
Sure, you do 7 50 question American History tests that I have to have made up by online classes in 10 days.
I need to find a few good views (full body) of
LA Marine
HMG
Pistol + Sheath
Knife + Sheath
Welder +Sheath
Preferably for the marine, close ups of the Chest, Head, and Arms so that I don't have to blow it up too far
I can't FIND them... NS Media pack has nothing, all my screenshots are useless... and searching online keeps giving me fricken DARWIN!!!

I dare you to post some questions.
...pr0n?
Anyway, while that poem/story might be okay, it doesn't really feature a large amount of mechanical devices mentioned (alliteration and so forth). Plus it doesn't really give you an idea of the character's morals and actions (like the Canterbury tales characters).
I suppose that poem has him
running headlong in to the fray,
for which he dearly did pay;
the marine lost his only right leg -
which is now a mighty wooden peg.
...or something (you'd expect better prosthetic limbs in the future, no?).

Download HLMV and then take your own screenshots with print screen. Job's a gud'un.
And Gecko has no rhythm <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Think I hadn't already thought of that?
Cept HLMV doesn't seem to like my system... maybe it's cause it's not only a Radeon (which NS seems to hate anyway) but it's a 64 BIT system, which XP and HL hate in general... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Any other good viewers?
