Haiku

[Xaqtly]

I see you drivin'
'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, haiku

[Robo]

Best haiku ending?
It's so "And I'm like, haiku."
I give you five stars.

[Robo]

I'd better convert
Christ comes to AppleNova!
Oh, it's Chris T? Oops.

(If that haiku were a softer world (http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php) comic, the mouseover text would read "damn. converted for nothing!")

[Banana]

Writing haiku is
hard, constantly looking up
the dictionary.

Much better to
read others haiku,
appreciated.

I think I suck at reading the pronunciation guide in the dictionary. :o

If it's any consolation, pronunciation guides in dictionaries are a pain in the ass for pretty much everybody, so no worries there. :) I think the only word in the sum of my existence that I've actually learned how to pronounce from a dictionary is crêpe, and that was only after much hardship and despair. Which is totally unfair to crêpes, which are, of course, sweet or savory filled pancakes.

Minecraft sucks away
time I'd normally spend here.
Whoops! Time to play now!

Lady Gaga looks
like an FF villian, but
she was born that way. (Ay. Ay. Ay. DUN DUN DOO DOO)

iPad2 is here
will it make me look fatter?
much thinner this time

[kscherer]

What in the hell are
you crazy dudes doing now?
Haven't got a clue

:confused: :err:

Edit:

The dictionary
is a fabulous place to
look for a haiku

I stole your haiku

[Luca]

your last line only has 4 syllables

[bassplayinMacFiend]

hai-i-ku

3 syllables :)

[edit]
The internets say I am wrong and it is hai-ku so I will amend my earlier post to be 5 syllables. :)

Let me get this straight;
The lime in the coconut
And drink them both up?

LOL, that is funny
although still not quite certain
how drink coconut?

[Robo]

They like my new song,
But I still don't feel like I
Know what I'm doing.

Playstion 3 dead

Our new overlords
Aren't good at geography
What is Toronto?????

[Robo]

I made our new member a theme song.

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
SEX MASTER! (wah wah)

It's sort of to the tune of "Rock Lobster," but totally not.

[joveblue]

Just found photos,
Of workmates from the 70s...
I just love Facebook!

[Xaqtly]

Facebook rules for that
The 70s were funny

Daylight savings time
is a massive load of crap.
Internal clock off.

Spent all night coding
custom Minecraft editor.
Results promising.

Eclipse still a turd.
Defaults suck and need tweaks for
usability.

No you can't have it.
Server-side inventory?
Now I control it!

What about the new
items you can't "/give" yourself?
Not a problem now.

[Robo]

Super creepy guy
Staring at me. We made eye
Contact and I flinched.

[Robo]

Update! He went out,
But now he is staring at
Me through the window. :wtf:

This makes me wish I
had a badass boyfriend. This,
And BJ Tuesdays.

Eight thirty A.M.
How I hate early meetings.
Sad it's time for bed.

I know how you feel.
I would post a "Cheers!" smiley
But we don't have one.

:p

[Robo]

Not proud of this one:
I fucked up Rice-a-Roni.
(Thrice too much evoo.) :(

Uh oh. My mom is
Trying to do her taxes.
Run and hide in room!

[Robo]

Thirteen thousand posts.
Zero marketable skills.
God, I'm such a nerd.

[RowdyScot]

Really hate my job.
Nothing in the area.
I wish I could move.

[Xaqtly]

I am a huge nerd.
Also a geek, and a dork.
It's the trifecta.

[Robo]

Creative output
Has been all over the place.
Bagpipes? Ballads? Rap?

"More adventurous."
What you want from new music.
<3 Jenny Lewis.

I'd never switch teams,
But she's pretty sexy in
"Portions for Foxes."

And I'm no furry.
But, like, have you people seen
Disney's Robin Hood?

>.>

<.<

(I'd do him.)

[Xaqtly]

Disney's Robin Hood
is one of my favorite films.
Has been since age 10.

Thoughts On Watching Disney's Robin Hood For The First Time Since Childhood.

Before the movie: "Ahaha, let's watch Robin Hood! I think Robin Hood was my first TV crush. Wow, we were so dumb when we were kids!"

One hour later: "Is it just me or is he actually...sort of hot?"

"I won't tell anyone if you don't."

"Deal."

[murbot]

Unintentional
eye contact. He looked away.
Look, my chest puffed out.

Ordered too much food.
Ate it all. I know that's bad.
But, dammit, bacon.

Super creepy guy
Is back. Same time and same place.
Murbot, is that you? :lol:

(But seriously. A man of my impeccable style and rugged good looks is used to turning heads, but I turned around and he was staring at me through some plants. Creeped. Out.)

[murbot]

I have a guy like that who comes into my office. I made a point of trying to out-stare him the last time he was in here. It honestly went over 3 minutes, which is a fucking eternity when you're staring into the soul of a creepy freak. It was almost impossible to keep going after a minute or so. We didn't break eye contact until after he said goodbye and he had to turn his head to walk away. I wonder if he realizes what he's even doing, or if he's just got a few screws loose.

[murbot]

Chocolate fountain.
Fuck grapes, bring on the bacon.
Like eating rainbows.

(yes, I actually completely stuck bacon into the chocolate fountain at a brunch on the weekend - it was DELICIOUS)

[Robo]

My dear sis, to me:
"Facial hair is so ugly!"
I have a beard. Hurt :(

We didn't break eye contact until after he said goodbye and he had to turn his head to walk away. I wonder if he realizes what he's even doing, or if he's just got a few screws loose.

I have the exact opposite problem. I'm not very good at making eye contact with people. It's something I have to think about, and make a conscious effort to do, but I'm also always worried that I'll end up overdoing it and stare creepily, so whenever I'm interacting with someone — ordering coffee, say — there's always this sort of taxing thought process going on in the back of my head. "Look them in the eye. Look them in the eye, you stupid fucker. Okay, you did it! Okay, don't overshoot, now. Stop looking. OK. Smile. Now just say your order. Don't tell me you — goddammit, guys, he forgot the order. Get the memory department on the phone...reflexes, make sure his mouth isn't agape or anything."

The problem with not looking people in the eye is that then you have to look somewhere else. The problem with this is that my Default Stare Into Space direction is straight ahead and slightly down, which happens to precisely match the location of breasts on any women I happen to be interacting with. I don't really notice boobs, even when I'm staring in their direction I'm just sort of staring into space and then it's just a realization like, shit, this lady probably thinks I'm staring at her boobs. I'm sure that some barista somewhere thinks I'm a perv who didn't even attempt to hide his shameless boob-gazing. :o

But I don't do that, any more! Now I make sure to awkwardly stare way off to the side, like at the menu or something, so I'm not looking at the person I'm interacting with at all, with occasional bursts of eye contact when I remember and/or can handle it. I'm not very good at this whole "life" thing. :\

The first company to market chocolate-covered bacon will make zillions of dollars, and then kill America.

[Banana]

kill America.

That's supposed to be a good thing, right?

[Robo]

With a foolproof America-killing plan like that, I'll be on an FBI watchlist any second now. I better be extra-American for a while.

An Extra-American Haiku

Guns and trucks are cool.
Obama is a muslim.

[Xaqtly]

Went to a party
it was a party for dogs
mingling was awkward

[Robo]

Sometimes I feel like
I don't even have the right
to be unhappy.

[RowdyScot]

Really love bacon
Tasty bacon is tasty
You know you love it.

[Robo]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Tasty bacon is tasty.

In Futurama
there's "baconated coffee".
