C James Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Here is another author we should consider for King of Cliffhangers: our resident amphibian, MikeL! He is a poet, and has several poems posted. I can only note that some of his poems have been declared cliffhangers. Why not a poet for King of Cliffhangers?
MikeL Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 There are no cliffhangers in poetry. Only a cliff hanging goat would think otherwise. Nice try.
C James Posted December 4, 2010 Author Posted December 4, 2010 Au contrare, your amphibiousness; There are no cliffhangers in Circumnavigation, yet you have claimed otherwise. Shame on you. As for cliffhanging poetry (written by a Tennessee Cliffhanger Chirping Frog) I will cite one (of many examples) from your limericks: There once was a guy in our countywho sought lovers as if for bounty. On a Canada trip, he made a fateful slip by trying to hit on a Mountie. So, what happened when he hit on the Mountie? We don't know! You left us HANGING! Therefor, this is clearly a cliffhanger!

It reads: http://www.cjames.gayauthors.org/Eleutherodactylus_precipitous.htm. That's hardly a notable scientific site. The Mountie? Read the limerick............. There once was a guy in our county who sought lovers as if for bounty. On a Canada trip,he made a fateful slip by trying to hit on a Mountie. No cliffhanger there. It is obvious...though possibly too subtle for a goat...what happens when you hit on a Mountie. Edited December 4, 2010 by MikeL

As you can clearly see below, I am not the only one who considers that limerick a cliffhanger. You left Benji hanging, too! Yep, that's a cliffhanger, all right... becuase we still don't know what happens when you hit on a mountie! ............Ok, I'll bite what happens when you hit on a Mountie? (Do you get mounted?) Is there any better definition of a cliffhanger than that? I don't know if I should say Maybe that story would be better suited for Nifty Hrmmm, I'd say this confirms it, the frog as left us with one heck of a cliffhanger!
Krista Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 What the heck Goat? Stop grasping at straws... you will find the needle eventually. (Yes that was stupid, but hey I'm on meds) BUT! Making enemies in a time like this isn't the way to go Goat. Wildone, Graeme, and MikeL... can pull a lot of Evil Cliffhanger votes in your direction. Hmmm... creating conspiracies seem to be your M.O..

Kind of late in the year to try deflecting attention from himself. Has the opposite effect.

Site Moderator TalonRider Posted December 5, 2010 Site Moderator Posted December 5, 2010 He tried the same thing with me a year or two ago and it didn't work then either.
