I think this competition josh is proposing is a little bit biased
towards English lit majors! However, I'll make an attempt:

There once was a podcast by Alan,
And Daviey and Tony and Ciemon,
About a system named ubuntu,
Abruptly popey said "I'll have a bun too,"
And then asked for extra cinnamon.

Bah, I said I wasn't very good at this... Of course, it is not a valid
limerick, because "bun too" and "ubuntu" do not rhyme, obviously!

A limerick contest!

There once was a podcast by popey,
And Daviey and Ciemon and Tony, 
Though the content was great,
Some said the music did grate, 
But those complainers are just dopey.

Here is something random, easily given away for free by Canonical, and
rather desirable to boot: http://tinyurl.com/3hs4jp

How cool is that stuff?

Looking forward to the new episode :)

Ahhh - my bad - I misread it as "rather awful prizes" :)

As an aside however, congrats to all the prodcast lads for getting it
going so well - listened to the first 3 episodes last week and found
them nice and entertaining... she who must be obeyed wasn't overly
impressed with that "geeky stuff you listen to" and rolled her eyes
back like a shark going in for the kill when I got all interested in
Mythbuntu but I'll work on her.

Are you going to be giving away EEE's and N800's like lugradio, and is  
the competition going to be as equally silly?
