  1. Cab   17 years ago

    others' proclivities
    in a haiku post to boot
    the floodgates open

  2. Mike Laursen   17 years ago

    I'd run right out and have me some free, dialectic sex, but I'm too busy right now having an epileptic seizure.

  3. Cab   17 years ago

    six instead of five
    syllables in the first line
    my apologies

  4. Pro Libertate   17 years ago

    Four thousand dollars.
    Nothing to do this evening.
    A governor resigns.

  5. Brian Sorgatz   17 years ago

    It will either give you a seizure or hypnotize you to communism.

    Why do North Koreans have such great sex? It's the only way to distract themselves from the fact that they live in North Korea. For their sake, I only hope that this propaganda is true.

  6. highnumber   17 years ago

    What is wrong with you?
    Can't you write one damn haiku
    for Jesse's themed post?

  7. Pro Libertate   17 years ago

    Cab,

    It's actually okay in haiku to fudge a syllable or two. WHAT ISN'T PERMITTED ARE HAIKUS IN ENGLISH! WAKARIMASU KA, GAIJIN?

  8. Aresen   17 years ago

    In the office
    Strong streaming filters
    Frustration screams aloud

    A click of temptation
    A desperate pause
    The RED SCREEN OF DEATH

  9. Pro Libertate   17 years ago

    You have red screens of death in Canada, Aresen? Funny, ours are blue.

  10. Cab   17 years ago

    Writing in prose form
    will be punished severely.
    Abandon all hope.

  14. Art-P.O.G.   17 years ago

    The premise is wrong
    Kim Jong Il does defecate
    Pure comedy gold

  15. Brian Sorgatz   17 years ago

    Writing in prose form
    Is a victimless action,
    Libertarian

  16. Art-P.O.G.   17 years ago

    Before you go down
    You should probably ask her
    If she has herpes

    ...I'm sorry, I'm just having fun

  17. Justin Slotman   17 years ago

    Why is March fourteen
    Haiku day? Need answer STAT--

  18. Timothy   17 years ago

    North Korea sex

    Another delicacy
    Tasty Asian girls

  20. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Yes, I'm so rone-ry
    Yet I have many cartoons
    Kidnap Shin Sang-ok

  21. Brian Sorgatz   17 years ago

    North Korea has
    Equality of gender
    Everyone is poor

  22. Art-P.O.G.   17 years ago

    "cunnilingis" is
    too many syllables for
    5-7-5 haiku

  23. Guy in the back row   17 years ago

    Jessie Ventura

  24. Art-P.O.G.   17 years ago

  26. guy in the back row   17 years ago

  34. guy in the back row   17 years ago

    Is a haiku day
    a good reason to stay late?
    Hey, everyone drink!

  35. highnumber   17 years ago

    Don't stay late at work
    Go home to your family
    or they might leave you

  36. Basho   17 years ago

    Why is Haiku al-
    ways so hard? Whereas Kim Jong-
    il is my bee-ach.

  37. Art-P.O.G.   17 years ago

    dialectic heterosexuality?

    So I'm to assume they teach cunnilingus in state school in N. Korea?

  38. Aresen   17 years ago

    Pro Libertate | March 14, 2008, 4:36pm | #

    You have red screens of death in Canada, Aresen? Funny, ours are blue.

    We get the blue screen when Microsoft screws up.

    The Red Screen of Death is when my employer's System Administrator decides I have tried to access a site with inappropriate content.

  39. M   17 years ago
