We Have A Winner!
The Winner of Friday's Celebrity Haiku is... Stephen Baker. Here is his winning piece:
Met Bellafonte
Couldn't remember his name
So I yelled "Day-O!
I'm just wondering if it is a true story.
His prize is ready and waiting in my office-- a framed photo of Prof. Bates.

I knew he would win. His was the only one that made me laugh out loud every time I read it

I totally should have submitted my dream haiku. My subconscious counts better than I do.

Rats Foiled Again
Plastic Wrapped Spanish Bat
Not Belafonte.
We'll get'em next time. I really want one of those pictures of Bates to add to my North Stars hall-of-fame.

North Stars hall of Fame? Medievalist, have you been hanging out with Prof. CivPro?

Bates is a fan of the non-existent Minnesota North Stars hockey team. I know how he feels. I am a fan of the Baltimore Colts, which mainly consists of me hoping someone breaks Peyton Manning's legs.
I am honored to have won this award. Osler was not in his office, so I think he's trying to renege on the deal. But you can bet your ass I'm putting this one on my resume.
Oh, and the Bellafonte story is true. Though he does not respond to people yelling "Day-O!" at him.

For many years I myself was a Washington Senators fan. This consisted of hating Bob Short. I'm too young to be able to hate Calvin Griffith.
I transferred my anger to Bud Selig and Peter Angelos of the Orioles. And even with the Nationals here in DC, those two have plenty of reasons for being reviled.

You bet! The Minnesota North Stars Hall-of-Fame: Bill Goldsworthy and Gump Worsley. And Bates. Shoot, I was born wearing skates (my poor mother!) and I teethed on a hockey puck. As a hockey heckler, Bates is as tough as they come. I may just write a hockey Haiku for this Friday, especially if the theme is hockey. Are you listening Razor?
i hope a pre-req to winning your contest is not that the person has a blog. i am seeing a pattern so far
