You, apparantly, are unaware of the the General Theory of Alignment. Alignment is grided on an immanent plane of relative morality. From the perspective of the observer, one's alignment is constant, and it is others' who change in alignment. However, this observation is universal; everyone both stays still and is always in constant motion. This is not a paradox, but simple truth.
One doesn't care about one's own perspective, however; what matters is the perspective of one's god. Stray from the path and when next you pray for relief you may get struck by lightning instead.
I'm not sure "yglesias," "ass," and "has" rhyme.

the last light is light a syllable: should be
"Labs and I love the hard manly grace he has"

Well, if he's so tall, why do people think he's short? Where there's smoke, there's fire.

I believe that Mojo Nixon definitively settled the issue of what to rhyme with "Yglesias."

It's a flightless relative of the canard.

What's wrong with you people? I like it, Alameida!

I like it too. And "Havard" is almost authentic pronunciation.

I liked it, but didn't think it was in character for me to say so.

If you lose too much xp for commenting out of character, you will never get high enough level to use that wand of polymorph.

You lose alignment for commenting out of character, not xp, twerp.

My chaotic female elven wizard was slain on the lowest level of the gnomish mines, after a tengu read a scroll of create monster. Alas!

I know "chaotic female" isn't a bona fide alignment, but it damn well should be.
And if it were, reading a scroll of "create monster" would be unnecessary and redundant.
