It's Haiku Friday (as I know it), and I Feel Fine!
For some reason, I really feel like going to see Monster Funny Cars this weekend. That doesn't seem very Christmas-y, but for some reason it just seems like it would be great to see that part where they jump sloppily over the old station wagons.
So, then, mine is a station-wagon themed haiku:
Baylor salutes you,
Mr. Keg Dancing Frat Guy!
You rock the wagon.
See, it kind of has a double meaning-- he's drinking, but he's "on the wagon." Get it? You know, it's weird how I never win these things. Well, maybe it's not so weird, maybe it's because my haiku is, as some former PC profs might say, "poor."
Please put your own haiku in the comments section. You can, of course, cross-blog (put the haiku both here and on your own blog). And Allison Dickson, isn't it about time you crafted some haiku? The recipe is 5 syllables, then 7 for the second line, then 5 for the third.
The prize this week is extra-special. As many of you know, Bates and I will be taking on anyone with $5 for Mission Waco in Foosball Tuesday night. The winning haiku entry will get to have me pay your fee. Or, if you are female and would prefer, you get to play the role of Bates' old lady for the evening and collect the money. You will have to wear a tie-dyed shirt, beads, and smell vaguely like patchouli.
And for those of you who have asked... yes, that is me playing drums in the video of Fahrenholdt's band.

fast oil and gas guzzling hulk
God, I miss that car
The school took pride as
an Aacademic sweatshop
Had to blow off steam
Steps to adulthood
Include doing silly things
Don't regret your youth

Cars don't like me much
Explosions, spin-outs, rear-ends
Darn Waco drivers
One week of class left
Then home for two weeks, curses
There is no escape
Spending Christmas break
Preparing for Practice Court
One bite at a time

Baylor Law starlet
In "Silent Night Deadly Night"
Cult classic, not porn.
Some explanation is in order - a student in your Crim Prac&Pro class was a child actor. Her feature film debut was in 1984's Silent Night Deadly Night.
This can be verified at the internet movie database - http://imdb.com/title/tt0088117/fullcredits
But, imdb spelled her name as Kristi and not Kristy. If you need more of a hint, you loved her "pantomiming" as Agent Petey Mondrian (not sure of spelling since I'm not in that class)
I'll let her explain the "not porn" ending to the haiku.
Clip of her scene at:
www.soupstain.com/sndn.mov
Look for the orphan girl that says, "But Mother Superior, it's Santa Claus."

Week started out crap
I feel like a complete chode
Law School is unfair
Being morose sucks
Happy thoughts are much better
In essence, why me

So I looked up "Silent Night, Deadly Night"... my favorite thing about it is the alternative title, "Slay-ride." Whew.
Powell, what hangs
on yer fob? Three things
near a mushroom cloud . . .
(Bit of an inside story as to the inspiration for that one, but PC kids who get distracted by shiny objects may have wondered).
Chill air brings
a pale beauty from th'
North. Happy me.

You are the Liberace's
of White Trash truck shows.
Health Camp - a great joint.
Shakes and fries, not to mention
Mark and W.J.C.

In my hopes to include Osler in my haiku, I failed to realize that "W.J.C." is in fact 5 syllables in itself. Not only did "W.J.C." take up most of my time in my 1Q, but now he's doing it in my poetry as well. I now offer this revised version to satisfy the requirements of the haiku:
Health Camp has great tea.
Not to mention Osler and
W.J.C.

So much choice and no money
Father getting socks.
Pushy shop lady,
I know Jon better than you!
Won't wear yellow plaid.

Giant hat wearer
Now a bank vice President
Clever, happy guy
Hat did not survive
He tore the brim while drinking
Vodka and O.J.
(I sent that photo, right?)
BTW
Not many Haikus about
the station wagon
Now that you see it
You must agree, Satellite
beats a Festiva

Regarding new job:
Boss wore pink oxford today
What would Covey say?
Let me clarify:
Oxford was bright pink and the
button holes were green.
Impossible for
Me to suck up to a guy
Wearing a pink shirt
Job getting better
Never thought I would work for
Guy dressed by his wife.
Boss is still nice guy
even though he sends me like
90 emails a day

IP-- do you really owe Fat Kenny money? That supposes he had more money than you at some given point in time, which is hard to believe.
No, I neither owe Fat Kenny nor his older brother Kenny any money. In fact, I would say that Fat Kenny owes many of us, as we kept his butt from being expelled, since, as we all know, "a spark from the catalytic converter set the float on fire."
Actually, he ticked me off pretty good later that year when he picked up this Tri-Delt I had been trying to impress at a party I was DJing at the Pub.
So he owes me for that too.

For that tri-delt he stole, maybe Fat Kenny can pay you back with 20 or 25 KD's.

Osler's Haikus cheer me up.

Ancient green wagon
Way cooler than Festiva
When's the next parade?

Thanks for making me belly up to the plate...Is that the right metaphor?
Here goes for my first official attempt:
It's Haiku Friday
I need some immunity
Where to pay money?
Can I win this week?
I'll take the William CD
So sorry Prof Bates
Speaking of Prof Bates
I hear he's the Foosball King
Will he meet his match?
Cricket's on Tuesday
Be there or be not there y'all
No class on Wednesday?? :)

Burning cars and floats,
Bamboozled by foosball sharks,
Going down in flames.
(I know its late, but its been a weird sort of day.)
