I'll be the drummer!  Possibly with screams/vocals.

Yay! A fellow drummer 

Then something on topic:
Toady seems to be cooking up a present, this time without telling what it is. I haven't heard a single word what the weekend project game will be about. Not like I'd want to. It's more exciting this way. I'm waiting for the day it comes completely out of the blue to amaze us all almost as much as the next release that is not quite yet behind the corner, but at least behind the corner after that.

[DwarfMan69]

I could do vocals... if you want death metal screams and pig squeeling.

Tom Lehrer's Clementine

[E. Albright]

I don't really approve the general humor that comes bundled with most limericks though.

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

[Will]

heh thats pretty good, did you write that?

[Fieari]

It's a very famous limerick by an anonymous poet.  Interestingly enough, many folklorists are of the opinion that if the poem follows the form but is entirely clean, it isn't actually a limerick.  Limericks must either be dirty, or lead you to think they're dirty but twist it somehow to be clean (retaining a hint of implied smut).

OH NOES HFS!

A dwarf mining adamant caves
Broke into a room full of slaves.
Now over his tomb,
Our mason, Lokum
A tentacle demon engraves.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hey, nice. Also a hint of "dirty", or rather "corrupt intentions".

[bigmcstrongmuscle]

A few others, though only one that counts for the dirty joke criteria.

Though the dragon had finally died
It had ruined a floodgate outside.
The floodbanks soon spilled
And the carp ate their fill
Then a force of vile darkness arrived.

"That gob's got a !!spider silk hat!!.
That would likely look great in my flat!"
He took it right off 'er
To throw in a coffer,
And that, in summation, was that.

The Baron was locked 'neath the floors
for mandating Bismuth Bronze doors,
When his wife, young Vakun
conceived of a son.
How'd he do it? Apparently, spores.

[FunnyMan]

While building some new waterfalls
The miner, one Urist Hawkcalls,
Shed tears like rain
From the terrible pain
When the pick missed and punctured her leg!

At the fortress Malachitetombs
One seldom finds vacated wombs.
This breeding fad
Doesn't seem all that bad,
Till you realize there are no rooms!

My compliments to Toady One
For making this game so much fun.
So don't take it badly
When I'm screaming madly,
"When will the next version be done?"

[Karlito]

waterfalls and leg do not rhyme.
also

07/01/2008: 139. We're underway again and it'll be DF until the 23rd or the release date, whichever is later.

Yay.  I've felt this gap in my life when the changelog stopped updating.  Though I think that we can probably count on the release date being before the 23rd.

[Vengeful Donut]

waterfalls and leg do not rhyme.

That's part of the joke. Think about it.

[Sean Mirrsen]

"Dwarves have never been so much fun"

Cannon fodder, anyone? Or rather, catapult fodder?

[FunnyMan]

waterfalls and leg do not rhyme.

That's part of the joke. Think about it.

Right.  The original that I stole the idea from is a college cheer my parents told me:

Rah, rah, ree!
Kick 'em in the knee!
Rah, rah, rass!
Kick 'em in the *boom, boom* other knee!

Seemed to fit the limerick humor.

Seemed to fit the limerick humor.

So then, do you know any women with balls?
