Now that this thread is fading away....
a little Haiku for the journey.
sorry, but these do not all fit the 5-7-5



Wonderous Gecko
Power of the ages applied
Death comes too soon


Hopes of big future
Dream of power aplenty
Short life, sad owner


Speed exceeds logic
Desire overcome thought
Deafening quiet


Wanting more than need
Directions tossed aside
Reveal magic smoke



And on that note,

Post off topic
Moderators unhappy
Quietly watch list
