I've rechecked, and World Blog Haiku Day was actually yesterday -- but who cares? Here's 5ME: Haiku Day anyway![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Not to be mean or anything, but they all say "17 word XXXX". A haiku is 17 sylables.

Still very funny, summed up the entire season in such a short way. It was great![/colorost_uid0]

Great haikus, Zeke. And also a good way to remember which episode had what in it.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I liked it. Especially that one Haiku that doesn't actually contain anything from the episode. [/colorost_uid0]

Many years ago, a satirical newspaper on my campus had a "horrible haiku contest." Most of the submissions were indeed horribly bad, and totally forgettable, but one was clever enough for me to have remembered it all these years:

Frozen grey flagpole
My tongue reaches out for it
I'll wait for the thaw[/colorost_uid0]

ALIEN NAZIS SUCK! Bad bad bad bad bad! It's bad to use alien Nazi's or timetravelling Nazi's!
:madder:

But this haiku is soooooo on the money! Good work! [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I was gonna say the same thing...and about the haikus not exactly abiding by the 5-7-5 rule (at least, I don't think they did)....but those were all pretty funny indeed.[/colorost_uid0]

If people actually care, sure, I'll post something about it in this thread -- [iost_uid0]after[/iost_uid0] this week of the camp is over. Until then I'm so busy I can't sit down for ten seconds.

antodav, would you mind pointing to a spot anywhere on that page where I didn't follow the 5-7-5 rule?[/colorost_uid0]
