The Kraken dreams of rising from the depths to the top or surface of his world ...when he gets there he fades and dies....I think Tennyson was hugely influenced by your very own Corpus Christi team...even down to the biblical reference

Have a nice day dumbo and dont forget elephants cant really fly...hopefully you can work that easy one out

Ah so as the Kraken will rise and destroy everything around it before it dies so will CCIA rise and defeat every other team and win World League before eventually, or course, CCIA will have to reboot! yes, that is a good description of CCIA! Thanks! Although it does point out again that you can look at these poems and read all sorts of Internet comments about them but you really don't understand them, moron.

Must go now I have some charity work at the Soup Kitchen for the criminally insane so see you in the queue

You've already presented several sources that have made the point, as I have, that Tennyson is copying from Milton. Again, you can rely on others to make your arguments for you and try to appear to be Internet smarter than you are but in reality you're too stupid to even understand what you just read and as soon as you open your mouth to make any kind of comment of your own you end up contradicting yourself, moron.

This is what happens to posers like yourself who get in the habit of using google and citing others' opinions as your own. Eventually you get caught and then you get into an utterly moronic series of comments because you ultimately have no idea what you're talking about, really ever, but in this case, here.

You have to understand that there's a lot of crap on the Internet. Even reputable sites can make minor misstatements and if you are genuinely ignorant, as you are, you won't know when what you've googled is a minor misstatement, or a blatant error, or true. You don't know the difference, and you're passing off others' comments as your own and unable to understand them and that just shows you to be all the more moronic.

You're just a pathetic poser who steals other peoples's comments on the Internet and passes them off as his own and you try not to get caught. But you're stupid, so you get caught.

And, frankly, I enjoy exposing you for the fraud you are, as I have done over and over again.

btw douche even one of Shakespeares sonnets has 15 lines

Conversing with an egotistical neanderthal like you is like trying to get shit from a constipated duck....Like an egg in an omelette you dontk now when you're beat...You moan when you dont get a source then you moan when you get one....Your choice of Light Brigade exposes you for the internet warrior you truly are.... A 1 and 7 one at that !!...This is what happens when young pipsqueaks like yourself get ideas above your station...Your reach exceeds your grasp and you fail dismally ...Have a nice day in Sly-land

And on a closing note I have a copy of Paradise Lost with the original illustrations by Gustave Dore sitting on my bookshelf....Next to a copy of Paradise Regained....Next to that is a copy of Swifts Gullivers Travels filled with the "in-jokes" of the day.....Bext to that Vonneguts Slaughterhouse 5......And so it goes !!!

Holy crap! Am I back to studying AP English literature?

"...now that Mr. Cavett, is entertainment!"

Shakespeare did write poems that were not sonnets. For instance, Venus and Adonis. There is a 15 line poem he wrote that people have speculated may be a draft form that he intended to finalize into a 14 line sonnet but never finished it. But this 15 line poem is not a sonnet because, of course, it has 15 lines, moron.

Some of your own sources say a sonnet is 14 lines, moron.

You still haven't explained why you said the Kraken had an odd rhyme scheme then you said it had "3 quatrains and a concluding couplet" then you said it was the same rhyme scheme of an Italian sonnet (it's not the same because it has 15 lines and a sonnet has 14 but it's similar). You also never explained how you could even think the poem had "3 quatrains and a concluding couplet" given that it has neither the correct number of lines nor the rhyme scheme for that to be true, moron.

You still haven't explained why you said Tennyson was quoting Biblical references then you admitted he was quoting Milton instead and provided sources that he was quoting Milton, then you tried to claim that he wasn't influenced by Milton, moron.

You still haven't explained why you don't understand the meaning of the poem the Kraken and you said my team would rise and destroy all opponents like the Kraken, when you previously and afterwards criticized my team, moron.

You still haven't explained why you didn't know that Shakespeare wrote in 5 metric feet, moron.

lets be clear sly ...a sonnet has 14 lines.....However some sonnets have 15 lines and are classified as "sonnets" ....My original statement was Tennysons oddly arranged sonnet.....Nearly all literary sources agree.....Sly does not well because hes sly and has a bloated ego to go with his fat head.....I googled because you asked for a source...I chose Tennyson because obviously you had only heard of "Light Brigade" and were in one of your "pat on the back" moods....TBH Tennyson like MIlton are pretty dull reading....Now you call me a poser and say the internet is crap....Some of the sources had links to published works held world-wide in high esteem....But not by Sly obviously......You make a big deal about your brain-power and knowledge but in actuality you are a self opinionated dunce who is at a very low reading level....Maybe you should throw your Mensa card in the trash....Your inability to open your mind is as disturbing as your wierd ramblings.....

Weve gone as far as we need to go with this...Ive proved to you how dumb you are and what a self-serving asshole youve become....You were obviously bullied as a child which has led to you becoming both pedantic and dogmatic.....Stick to your predictions and maybe someone somewhere will give you a job asa guest ski pundit......Oh and you could always go on The Weakest Link....Goodbye !!!!

As for your other points I didnt actually read them because they are childish drivel used to fuel your desire to turn the subject away from the one you were losing at......Leviathan is a biblical figure not a Milton creation.....Shakespeare (and whoever wrote most of his works for him) used devices to make his plays stand out in public performances usually oratory ones....And you spectactuarly miss the point I was making when I said I would have chosen the Kraken rather than Light Brigade....I was using that to show you what I would have chosen had I been you.....It would have been seen as how Jericho lived at the depths as a "Minor League Glory Team" only to rise to Pro and die.....You absolute imbecile !!! You just thought like everything it revolved around Crappus Christi

Then present them. If this is true then you surely can do better than a high school teacher quoting a hack, second-rate college professor.

Here's a few to get you started:

Ransom House Dictionary: sonnet - a poem, properly expressive of a single, complete thought, idea, or sentiment, of 14 lines.

Collins English Dictionary: sonnet - a verse form of Italian origin consisting of 14 lines.

Douglas Harper Etymology Dictionary: sonnet - precise meaning is from Italian, where Petrarch (14c.) developed a scheme of an eight-line stanza (rhymed abba abba) followed by a six-line stanza ( cdecde, the Italian sestet, or cdcdcd, the Sicilian sestet). Shakespeare developed the English Sonnet for his rhyme-poor native tongue: three Sicilian quatrains followed by a heroic couplet ( ababcdcdefefgg).

American Heritage Dictionary: sonnet - A lyric poem of fourteen lines.

Guess these are the rare exceptions, though, right?

First you say it's about Corpus Christi then you say it's about Jericho. Some would say you're a liar and a fraud. I think there's also the element that you're too stupid to remember what you said a few posts ago, even with the ability to go back and reference them.

Your own sources say a sonnet is 14 lines, moron.

You still haven't explained why you don't understand the meaning of the poem the Kraken and you said my team would rise and destroy all opponents like the Kraken, when you previously and afterwards criticized my team, moron. Or why once I explained to you what the poem actually means you tried to pretend you meant it was about Jericho when you already said you presented it as about Corpus Christi.

You still haven't explained why you didn't know that Shakespeare wrote in 5 metric feet, moron.

Rankings after Game #8 and Tourney Round #3:

1) Contender: Great JPEGs. Beat Vienna (by 10 in tourney) & Brazilian & Houston & Jericho (by 38 in tourney); Lost to: Vienna (by 1) & Jericho (but turned around and beat Vienna and crushed Jericho in the tourney)

JPEGs has beaten both the teams it lost to by significantly larger margins in the tourney and has beaten all the other top teams, so at this point they seem like the best team in the league.

2) Hanging around as a top team (Minor League Glory Team): Vienna Ritterbrüder. Beat: Brazilian &; JPEGs (by 1); Lost to: JPEGs (by 10 in tourney)

Although Vienna did squeak past JPEGs by 1 the day before they lost by 10 to JPEGs in the tourney, so at this point I consider JPEGs the favorite in any rematch. Vienna is still showing a heckuva lot of fight, though, and will no doubt be a top team for the rest of the season.

3) Contender: Brazilian Farmers. Beat Houston & Jericho; Lost to: Vienna & JPEGs

Although they made it clear they don't have any time for game planning, especially in the regular season, they might game plan in the tourney, so the most likely scenarios I see is either JPEGs vs Vienna or JPEGs vs Brazilian in the League finals.

4) Pretender: Houston Gamblers. Beat Jericho; Lost to: Brazilian & JPEGs

Winning games against the weaker opponents but not much of a challenge for the serious Contenders in Elite.

5) Fading Away: Jericho Walls (Declining Minor League Glory Team). Beat JPEGs; Lost to: Houston & Brazilian & JPEGs (in tourney)

Every game Jericho falls a bit further behind the better built teams. Although they had the surprising win against JPEGs, JPEGs turned around and crushed Jericho in the tourney, and Jericho is unlikely to beat any of the top teams going forward, and may even start to lose against lesser teams by the end of the season. They've already been passed by Houston. Yesterday they were pounded 51-13 by JPEGs. As the poet said, "How quickly did their glory fade! Oh the minor charge they made! All the good teams said fyb's."

Below the top 5 really no team stands out as being worthy of ranking at this point in the season, but I'll keep my eye out in case one emerges. I will briefly comment on the remaining teams though:

Other Alpha Conference teams:
ATKM - they don't gameplan and it's catching up to them; losing games to scrub teams this season
HRT - their defense is pretty good but their pass-first offense is not effective at this point in their builds; they are losing too often to lesser teams.
CCIA - dots mostly under lvl 64 without any advanced equip playing dots mostly above 64 with advanced equip
Barcelona - Lost to a non-Elite team (HPAS) by an 87 point margin in the tourney

Other Zeta Conference teams:
Paris - Lost to a non-Elite team (Hispania) in the tourney
Gridiron - JPEGs beat them by 104 points
DSWC - Jericho beat them by 79 points. Lost to a non-Elite team (HPAS) by 52 in the tourney.

So that's why I don't consider any of these remaining teams worthy of being ranked at this point. Hopefully some of them will do better going forward.

Week 7 Main Event: Paris vs HRT - last season, Paris won early in the season 7-6 then HRT won late in the season 13-10. Paris has been wanting to get more recognition but hasn't been able to beat any of the top 5 teams (even fading Jericho although Paris may be able to beat Jericho next time they play them). This game will probably establish who is the presumptive #6 if I was to rank 6 teams. It'll be close but since HRT won the last matchup I'll go with them.

Week 7 Undercard: none this game
