Enter to Win: Ice Cream from Impact Acoustics

[Tom Andry]

Impact Acoustics is giving away twelve (12) Pints of Graeter's Ice Cream to two (2) lucky winners.

Oprah said this about Graeter's "You haven't had ice cream till you've had Graeter's. The butter pecan is Stedman's favorite, and mine, too." Graeter's Ice Cream has been a Cincinnati icon for more than 135 years. Yes, it's that good! And for December, in keeping with the holiday spirit, Impact Acoustics will be giving TWO lucky winners the chance to enjoy lots of fine ice cream. We'll send 12 pints of your favorite ice cream (a $110 value!) to one randomly selected winner, and one winner we select as having written.....

THE BEST LIMERICK featuring the word "Meteora". For those who need a refresher, Limericks consist of five anapaestic (Google this if you're as confused as me) lines. Lines 1, 2, and 5 of Limericks have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 of Limericks have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other. We're going to be pretty easy with the rules, however. One condition - no "naughty" words or bad connotations. Keep it clean.

Here's our own example for you to follow:

We want a fun limerick from you
Feel free to create your own brew
We'll fulfill all your dreams
With 12 pints of cream
Meteora will make this come true​

To be eligible to win, you must: 1) Be a registered Audioholics forum member, 2) Have USA Residence, and 3) Submit a limerick in this thread.

Note this contest ends on December 31st, 2005. Winners will be drawn shortly thereafter

Have fun and good luck!

Limerick a good one

This is a simple kind of Limerick
Open a book of words and pick
Words that rhyme with Meteora
(It doesn't have to be a metaphor)
Any rhyming word will do the trick!

 

[Mr. Lamb Fries]

There once was a man from Kent
Who passed gas wherever he went
He broke wind so loud
That he Meteora'd the crowd
But what impressed them the most was the scent

 

[varkeast]

Meteora is a cool place to see
I hear they have a monastery
The monks have good chants
That knock off your pants
Well at least they de-panted me

 

[ScottMayo]

Three unspeakable tries

In order to attain to this prize
I'll pretend I'm uncannily wise
So I'll pretend that I see
Why Meteora's key...
My flavor? "Cable Debate surprise".

---

Linkin Park is rap made bland
A thump and grind lark, all scripted and planned
'Meteora' their latest
and not quite their greatest
But for good 'cream? I'd sing with the band.

---

Graeter's here gets a free ad
And Linkin Park's just a fad
But here's to Meterora
And I hope it slips past ya
That this poem is incredibly bad.

 

[Mudcat]

There once was a man from Kent
Who passed gas wherever he went
He broke wind so loud
That he excited the crowd
But what impressed them the most was the scent

I am not from Kent.

Ode to Meteora

Meteora is the cable for me
Pristine audio-video, paradise be
Now ice cream in the mix
12 pints, not just six
Now I can get fat watching my HD

-------------------------------

I really don't mean to bore ya,
but this cable they call Meteora
Silky smooth sweet like ice cream
pinch me please, is this a dream?
I think I love them more than Grandma

 

[jcPanny]

Unlike Greecian monks of Meteora
We lust for audio euphoria
Eat ice cream, they cannot
So there is one choice we've got
Enjoy all twelve pints of Graeter's, Yea!

 

[AverageJoe]

When Santa was over New Yorka,
He Said, "We should be in Grand Forksa...
So let's look alive"
as he punched Overdrive,
and passed a slow moving Meteora.


OK, so I'll never get a job at Hallmark.

 

[Tomorrow]

I'm an Audioholic named Lenora.
Cables? I wanted a plethora.
So I started to go
with more pricey, but whoa!
All I need is good ol' Meteora.


I scream....we all scream....

Part Deux

I once did meet E. Orrah.
He said I had a meaty aura.
It made me so sad
and I felt quite bad,
I'd rather have had a Meteora.


(Hey, AverageJoe. Let's form our own company and compete with Hallmark! Who needs 'em?)

 

[Tomorrow]

Okay, I'm going for the Triple Play

Cables are all over. I haven't a prayer.
Costly wires are hanging everywhere.
Wait! Everything is alright.
I have met my shining knight...
Meteora, yea! The Monster slayer.

 

[corey]

I know of a monk from Glendora,
And he has a multi-hued aura.
He’s got sounds that are fine,
Even better than mine,
Cuz his cables are all Meteora.

 

[Sheep]

The last thing anyone in the US needs is more ice cream...

Ice Cream!! Yum!

There was a young nun from Sonora
Who vacationed in old Bora Bora
When asked would she dance
She replied not a chance
My connection must be Meteora!

 

[MrPorterhouse]

This contest is incredibly fun
When its all over I've won
I'll sit with my treat
Meteroa, that's neat
Big Thanks Impact I'm now done

 

[STRONGBADF1]

There now lives a man in Limerick
Who had to compose a limerick
He is very confused
Ah, here comes his muse
METEORA! ...Now I'd love some Graeter's real quick!

 

[kearaboss]

What is Jessica doing to Nick?
I can't believe he's not her pick!
She can't say Meteora
He sure did adore 'a
but now she just makes him sick!

 

[einsteinjb]

We smarties will buy Meteora
But say you love Bose, we'll abhor ya
So gimme a scream
and bring on the cream
Or I might continue to bore ya.

 

[jrfuda]

I defineately know for sure-ah
Not much rhymes with meteora
I've been working all day
For not too much pay
I think I'll go sleep and a snore-ah
