h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The second part of this is a very offensive word, apparently

Each word is a mystery
A brief look into history
Rudeness is a state of mind
Much of which can be a bind
Unless you are certain
For it would be curtains
Future words with double meaning
Sure to go through some deep cleaning

I can't for the life of me think what brought this to mind:

Early one morning I woke up in bed,
A hammering going on inside my head.
Reacting to what happened the previous night,
More whiskey than ought to be kept out of sight
Under the bedclothes I hastily drew,
For what to do next, I just hadn't a clue.
Fumbling for memories – 'What had I said?'
Sometime I wake up and just wish I was dead.

Everyone hates mindless censorship,
A naughty gibe for one's another's quip.
Remember to pronounce quite carefully,
'Muffle', 'Ain't it quaint?', and 'tit-eyrie'.
Users will be wroth if you offend,
Forgo txtspk, that infamous new trend,
Flee flaming, eschew egregiousness! Remain
Sober, sanitised, sententious, sane.

Early years were fine on this site,
Articles to write the thing to do.
Reminiscences of no censorship...
Moderation abounds these days,
Under pressure from I don't know whom.
Failed words, articles, everything.
Freedom of speech a faint memory.
Sad times for you and me.

I 'wasn't acquainted with the anecdote' and had to consult the urban dictionary. So - am I allowed to post a more relevant acrostic (if it doesn't get 'hidden').

Every time I think of thighs,
A fuzzy dimness dulls my eyes,
Rememb'ring far of times of yore,
Maidens, whom I did adore.
Underneath their lissom gait,
Forced me to dream and satiate
For their desires, to dream and sigh,
So – if that's decent – I wonder why..

Cool.

(I have saved a copy, just in case...)

Great one, PBS.

I went to school with Justin Case (really)!

That is so cool. Poor fellow.

Every time I post an entry
Alarms go off with Auntie's sentry
Regulations can't be broken
Moderators are awoken
Undergo their prudish cleaning
Filter out the coarsest meaning
Fill researchers' mouths with soap
Scrub away their futile hope

Brilliant - this must be due to arctic melting.

Oh, this is going to be a great Acrostic Poetry challenge page.
