Ode To A Magic Time Walk

January 30th, 2006

As time is short and so is money. I have been forced to start hocking my childhood. This is a Time Walk from Magic the Gathering. It is a very rare card that we, the dorky multitudes, would wet our pants over as we roamed the halls in high school. It is now on ebay where I will be selling a great many of my other memories as well. This is my "Woody The Cowboy" if you will. A part of me is dying, but as I have kept it locked away for several years I cannot justify keeping it longer. It deserves a chance to play again.

Oh, Time Walk
Oh, Time Walk
Your edges are curved and so soothing

Though you're faceless and odd
to many, still I nod
in your direction
with approving a glance

Oh, Time Walk
Oh, Time Walk
Your letters are bold and impressive

The love of a boy
for his childhood joy
is what truly
defines this romance

Oh, Time Walk
Oh, Time Walk
Your dark skies are ominous and brooding

Though I've yet to earn
a fair extra turn
after this one
Please give me a chance

Oh, Time Walk
Oh, Time Walk
Your profit margins are far too divisive

I so want you to stay
while your flesh rots away
Derreliction
impedes my finance

Goodbye Time Walk... You will be missed. {:(

What is Fragilebob?

frag·ile adj. - Lacking physical or emotional strength; delicate

bob - A common name, often short for Robert, which carries various historical and proverbial connotations undistinguishable from one another in the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything.
Less importanly, a search for the meaning of bob also returns more than 20 definitions as verbs, nouns, and adjectives, making it undiscernable from the other myriad of bob's when taken out of context.

Together fragile and bob create the hopless, futile, and unimportant (yet pathetically self-indulgent) being, "Fragilebob", who balances on a precipice holding what he perceives to be the weight of Atlas' burden upon his meek glass frame as the sword of Damocles slowly dangles from the finest ass-hairs of god like a deadly dingleberry. Fragilebob knows this defacant shard rests poised to destroy him should he forget his humility or penance and stumble but one centimeter from his eternal duty of self-deprecation and sacrifice.

Send Fragilebob To China!

There has been an overwhelming demand to get rid of this tragic reminder of what America can do to a mind with no substantial denial techniques.

But, as it turns out, Fragilebob is just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Will you let him go?
