A THANKSGIVING ODE  Cries of “Officer down!” start the story . . .
Enthralled and transfixed, wanting more we
Tuned in every week
Dunbar’s journey to seek —
But Blind Justice is now just past glory.
But wait! There’s more — we’re just not done.
Seasons later we’re still having fun.
Reliving the past
Is a brain-teasing blast.
A small victory, but I say we won.
Through limericks, games, and the rest
Of our endless discussions (No jest!)
We still log on and say
At least once every day:
Blind Justice was simply the best.
Name one other show with such style
Or acting that stands out a mile.
Dramas come and they go
But there’s only one show
That kept us all glued to that dial.
So our “combat pay” glasses we raise
Once more in thanksgiving and praise.
As we wait patiently
For the show’s DVD
Blind Justice still brightens our days. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! |

Karma, Maggie! You have summed up our feelings so well. Modified to add--Now I'm really hoping for a DVD release. I just read an article at work today that says that burned DVD's (ie the homemade kind) begin to degrade after only 3 years.  |

 Marty was angry and thought he'd hound Jim
So he went in the break room and found him.
He knew it unkind
To hit someone who's blind
But he feared most that Jim would pound him.
As it happened a fight did break out.
But all they did was posture and shout.
They knew from the brass
Would come a kick in the ass
If it turned into fisticuffs, no doubt.
A funny thing happened that night
They both gained a little insight
It wasn't hard to see
Attitude was the key
And neither was a hundred percent right.
An understanding was soon to be found
By both of them standing their ground
They were able to save face
By bowing with grace
"See ya tomorrow" then ended the round. |

 Ghost Ship was a movie so icky
That Ron's in it makes me quite sicky.
Did he believe in the role
With his entire heart and soul,
Or did his girlfriend make the choice tricky? |

How come we never thought of calling Blind Justice limericks . . . Jimericks?  |

"Been a while.
Been too long."How come we never thought of calling Blind Justice limericks . . . Jimericks? OK Maggie, Here's a Jimerick.  Detective Jim Dunbar was back on the job.
On his very first day he was met by a mob.
The day was exhausting-
But at home came the frosting,
When his lovely spouse, Christie, had missiles to lob. "Back on a case?" she retorted. That jab hurt his pride.
Didn't she know to just be by his side?
A warm kiss and a squeeze
Would have helped to aleve
All that tension and stress that was churning inside.
TBCOK, the name of the game is continue the limerick. Maggie, LL, Kathy, Hoosier, Inuvik, Mouse, Anita, and any of the others who have tried limericks (and those ready to try) are you up for the challenge? Why we could take this through 13 episodes. (only kidding about the 13 episodes. But maybe continue this one.)

(only kidding about the 13 episodes. But maybe continue this one.) This is a wonderful idea Rducasey, and I really think all thirteen episodes is doable! Karma too! In order, starting with the Pilot, great idea. I'm always up for a challenge! And I recently watched the Pilot--yes my BJ fast is over! I'm taking advantage of all my shows being on a holiday break to watch Blind Justice again! It's been TOO long. And thanks to our special board member, it's great to be able to watch them on DVD, because there is still the odd thing I want to record on my VCR even now, and watching BJ on DVD doesn't interfere with that. Thanks thanks thanks! "You're going to do this now?"
(Please Christie, don't have a cow!)
I've had a rough day
I just want to play
Instead I come home to a row. (Modified to bold the limerick.) |

His hair, it was sandy
He underestimated Jim
His blindness won't stop him!
Was one of his victims named Mandy? Edited to add: did I do this right? Do we put any limericks about the Pilot here?

Was one of his victims named Mandy?  Jim solved that first case in the blink of an eye
And pissed off ol' Marty, who was not a nice guy.
He'd make Jim's life a trial-
Barely cracking a smile.
Their head butting would only in-ten-si-fy.OK Inuvik, by George, I Think you 've got it. Now we can move on to episode 2, or if anyone wants to do the last scene in the pilot. Lots of good material there. Just remove all this talk when you add on to the poem. You could also remove the pictures if you'd like and add your own to your stanza as I just did. We will try to stay true to the sequencing of the series. |

Rducasey, what a great idea -- I'm sorry I'm too jammed with work to play but you know I will when I have time. If we can re-use old stuff, I did one with Jim and Karen on the street for the last scene iuf you want to go find it . . . Might be fun when all is said and done to start a new thread and post 'em all in order. Probably be longer than The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner . ;D |

And Karen has learned Jim's no pawn.
But he still wants to know
Her eye color, so
She says "Brown" . . . and he smiles and walks on.End of Pilot  OK Maggie, I found the one that you had posted for the end of the pilot, so now on to FFU. Good thinking. |
