Klingon Poetry

A group of enthusiasts got together to write a compendium of Klingon Poetry. The thing is, I actually think it's pretty good. Sure, it is cheesy, but it's not a winking cheese. It's a good cheese, and earnest cheese, the kind of cheese only a loving fan can make. This also has the advantage of being readable.

Here's an except. This poem is called My Beloved and is written by K'Chara (whoever that is).

My blood runs cold
As I look upon the face
Of my beloved
His eyes are empty
Dead
I hold his eyes open
And scream
My rage
My anger
My fear
My heart breaks
I howl
I warn the others
A mighty warrior is coming
I look at the battle with new eyes
My blood boils
And now
The battle truly begins.

Do I think this stands on its own? Actually, I do. If nothing else, it is entertaining and keeps my eyes on the page. That is all I ask, really.

A Real Life Replica of the Simpsons' House

This house has an eerie similarity to the Simpsons' house, don't you think? It's got the same garage, the same pathway, the same windows. Sure, it could be just a coincidence. But when you look at the interior, you begin to realize there is a deep obsession going on here.



Yes, this is the couch at the opening credit. The following picture now is the stairwell. Now tell me this is a coincidence.



Of course, apart from just dismissing this house as the work of a zealous fan who has a little too much money, another viewpoint is that this could be a good investment. Graceland is still making millions of dollars, and Elvis Presley was practically a cartoon. So why not use those tourist dollars towards characters who are genuine cartoons?
