Poing

by Dr. Knowledge – June 7, 2001

Poing is a very important topic. I think. Well let me start at the beginning. I got a cryptic email that started me hot on the trail of Poing.

I knew I was in trouble. How was I going to let have editors do something I had no idea about? So I researched the topic on the internet. If there is anything I have learned over the years, it's that you can say you know how to do something and then just look it up. This is how many people get rich. Look at George W. Bush.

On the internet I found that the centers of Poing knowledge are in France and Germany. Well at least that's where the majority of the web-sites I found were.

FRENCH SUMMARY

French people are snobby and always try to get you to do something you really don't want to do. They get these personality traits from being force-fed snails by their government. And they smell bad.

Le Poing d'Exclamation
At the onset of my journey for knowledge I was greeted with this gem! Unfortunately it was all in French, so I didn't understand a word. Thank goodness for Google's translation option! With Google's help I found interesting links on such topics as "Regressive evolution human being" and "Generation Commits suicide." This Poing sure sounded important to the French people! But as I read on, this site started creeping me out. Something wasn't quite right with these people. At least they revealed the first clue:
"The letters are as follows: 26 small bombs which one juxtaposes in a definite order in order to obtain an explosive."

Transver
Now I was getting somewhere. But the German web-sites only made Poing more puzzling. It seems that while "Traffic planning: Poing" there was an "examination of possible entlastungsstrassen" in 1998. This didn't help at all. Especially when I hit a brick wall at the next site.

POING: THE GAME
This site had very few words. All I saw was a strange Flash animation game with no instructions. After deciphering the game, I became addicted. The rules were simple yet hard to master. I first tried the 30 second games, but quickly moved on to the 2 minute long and 500 poing games. My high scores started to jump up in the ranks. I played for days without breaks. I was beginning to understand POING.

Could this be all there is to life? Happiness and simplicity? I was inspired by POING. Here is a haiku I wrote:

Try your very best.
Let have editors POING in.
A leaf slowly falls.

My family began to worry and pulled POING away from me. They told me that it was not the true POING. Realising I had fallen for a trap, I was angered. I set on my journey once again.

Poing Snapshot
I found a program to help me locate the one true poing. Altavista was giving only dashes! Memepool was giving twos and ones. I knew I was close! POING HERE I COME!!!!

THE ONE TRUE POING
At last my journey was over. With the help of a ferret I had discovered the true meaning of Poing. Oh KIKI thank you for this. I will always remember your words of wisdom! Kiki may not have Bun-Bun's attitude, but her heart is in the right place. I'll never have problems remembering to "stay good" now! I let have editors poing in this "Poing" t-shirt and all was well. I couldn't have done it without that wonderful ferret...
