Prize? What prize?

The limericks were all very good. I loved them all equally, but finally managed to narrow them down to a three-way tie:

Mark and Marjorie win for managing to incorporate all the rules (LOTR, psychologist and parasite) and still adhere strictly to the limerick form:

    An orc with a raging psychosis
    Said "Doctor, what's your diagnosis?"
    The doctor said "Orc,
    you eat too much pork.
    I think you just have trichinosis."

Liz (who gave no URL) wins twice for rhyming "sucker" with "fucker" and for calling me a "perfect, post-modernist man" (twice)
    A trendy French shrink named Lacan
    Thought love added up to rien
    But construct or not,
    You're incredibly hot,
    My perfect, post-modernist Man.

    An earnest young doctor named Beach
    fell madly in love with a leech
    that little blood-sucker
    was such a hot fucker
    that heaven seemed quite within reach.


Last but not least, Joeri wins with his tapeworm entry:
    A Diphyllobothrium latum
    (A pseudophillidean tapeworm)
    can grow to 10 meters
    among raw fish eaters.
    It can make a sturdy man squirm.

Congratulations, everyone.

You're welcome, Joeri. Lasse makes that button look huge. Looks great on him, though.

You know it's the Bug Buttons that make the real man :)

My father used to eat steak tartare and got a tapeworm which is legendary in the family. Details upon request.

I imagine they set a special place for it at Thanksgiving. More stuffing, TW?
