Robinette's 500 CC Party

That's right... Robinette has begun to plan for a Monumental CC 500 party...
Please do not confuse this with the recent Daytona 500, which finished way short,
Rest assured, the Robinette 500 will go the distance, I will not abort...
481 games are logged in the record book,
with another 13 in progress, if you were to look...
so this monumental 500th game is soon to be,
do the math and it will happen in just 6 games, you see.
This has given me pause to reflect on these 3 years past...
ahhhhhh, the memories... and how they last...
I think of the many friendships I've made at this place,
which puts a big smile on my cute face...
I've even made an enemy or two here...
but they are arse's, to which i sneer...
Friends would often drag me into maps i did not know,
so when it was my turn, i would play... well, ever so slow...
6 player standard is where i want to be
To which they say, 'Join our triples game, you'll see'
I peek in the forums, just to see...
should i inject humor, or let them be?
How do i say it, so that they'll have a clue?
I know, I'll post a pic or two,
that's what i'll do...
In under 200 games, i wanted to be the 1st one,
I was almost to 3000, and then this too would be done...
He did it just days before me, that fellow named NUKE,
to this day, I keep telling myself that it was just a fluke.
So i had to settle for being number 2,
But at least i'm that much better than YOU...
Seeking higher skilled opponents became a focus of mine,
so we started the Super Elite, which satisfied me just fine...
but we did not let in very many cc brothers,
which upset JR immensely, along with many others.
Up the scoreboard I continued to climb,
Eventually the 4th spot, I claimed as mine...
Players now were standing in line, for it was me they wanted to play,
celebrity status suddenly now didn't seem so gay
And then it all fell apart, reminding me of Myrtle the Turtle, it did,
into the mud did i fall, down to those 2nd page scores, i do not kid...
Consecutive losses did not stop till they numbered Twenty three,
Had i had a stroke i wondered, as those 15 weeks went without glee...
Back to the Classic, i recall the great pain
of those white little circle thingies which caused such a strain...
To freemium i did go, out of protest a week for each day,
as a punishment for the fix that had such a delay...
No longer a map, but stripped to shapes and artists by name,
after a great anguish, I decided i'd stay, afterall, the play really IS the same...
So this is my story, brief and true...
maybe it's pathetic, but take a look at you,
For you have taken all of this time
to have read these many words of mine,
In closing you should know, that i will be very happy on this day,
if you would simply tell me this prose made you smile, that's all you have to say.
