And on the Fifth Day, they created haikus...
It's been a pretty interesting week. My computer died, which was kind of compelling to watch, like NASCAR in the rain or something. Also, someone taught me how to use "Reverse IP Lookup" to figure out who a particularly nasty anonymous poster was, and that was sure interesting. Then today I finally got all my grading done (a few days early) and celebrated by watching "Stuart Saves His Family" on channel 322. I'm still kind of freaked out by the fact there are 322 channels.
But now it is time to bear down and write some haiku. Here are the suggested, but not mandatory, topics (it is kind of like the post-Booker sentencing guidelines):
1) Movies written by Al Franken
2) My favorite concert
3) The problem with Led Zeppelin
4) Another reason to be glad I live in Waco
5) Paris Hilton-- early parole!
6) The one person I really don't want to see nude
7) My dream about a law school administrator
8) The Saturday Night Live character you most resemble
9) The band "Asia"
10) Prom
Here is mine:
I have this one dream--
Jerri Cunningham moved
Her office outdoors
Now it is your turn, in the usual 5 syllables/7 syllables/5syllables format...
UPDATE:
Craig Pankratz actually got my visual ELO reference! I'm shocked! And a little disturbed. You will note that I even got the right number of people. I didn't actually have the album, though, and if I did it over I would group them a little tighter.

Growing up, my Dad
survived the Great Depression
His Mother's, that is
Big bad box office
Stuart saves his family
but a good film dies
I'd say I'm Conehead
From look of house Liz says I'm
like Mr Peepers
I say Belushi
as Cocker, from my driving
Liz says I'm Toonces
I think, maybe I'm
like Emily Latella
Liz says......."Nevermind"
Some loved Paris when
it was spring time, some want
Paris not to fall
Some think that she is
like a queen, who is reigning
my care is waning

Going home from work
Standing on Metro platform
Underwood? Dear God!
Heart beats much faster
But will he know who I am
Already standing
Walk past him quickly
Excuse me Mr. Tradelaw
Please explain Erie
Sweat begins to pour
Brain becomes very confused
Wake up! It's a dream!
Three years from Waco
Still haunted by that place
But better for it.

Get the Led out man!!
The problem with Led Zepplin?
John Paul Jones' weird hair.
Like Chris Farley. We
are brothers from another
mother. Very fat.
Eddie Murphy. Well,
except I'm not black, and I
don't like transvestites.

Music haikus...
CONCERT
You’re not what you own --
Sitting in a waiting room.
Dance to Fugazi
LED ZEPPELIN
They did lots of drugs
Bloated solos went too long
Led Zep still kicked ass
ASIA
Yes and King Crimson,
A member of the Buggles.
Worst band ever formed?

In Through the Out Door
Led Zeppelin's worst mistake
Coda - pretty bad too.
Only one person?
The vast majority should
never appear Nude!
Asia - wrote one hook
Major contribution though:
death knell for Prog Rock
White Zinfandel?
So sorry Tyd, Nasty stuff!
Go with the Gevurtz!

Paris. Back to Jail.
House arrest too good for you.
Do crime. Do the time.
Osler must love this.
Parallels with cocaine cases.
Rich go free. Poor don't.

I am enjoying
Libby and Paris and the
Cries of injustice
You must be new here
To the realm of sentencing
Before-- didn't notice?
"Must have uniformity!
(For those who don't look like me)
(And spare the cute blonde)"

Omigod! Like its
so UNFAIR, I cry out "Mom"
five more syllables?
I deserve more than five syllables! I didn't know that was the rule! That's only for the little people, right? Really, only Five!? But I'm FAMOUS....

The legos look like
ELO's "On the Third Day"
Album cover art.
Poseur will freak out,
"I hate them! I really do!
How could you, Osler?"

Gap Girl I am not,
But just like Sandler's Lucy
good heart with bad hair.
Led has but one flaw:
Bonham drove a heavy beat,
now that beat has died.

My brain is mush after this crazy week, and my feeble little mind can't get the John Belushi samurai character into Haiku format, but I'm the "Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! NO COKE! Pepsi only!!" fella. Especially when I'm hollering at the 18 CL heathens. Hell, I'm probably on the wrong thread, too. Sorry Os! Maybe some kind soul will ghost write me a Haiku this week. I'm good for it :)

Swiss town festival:
Huge tent filled with long tables,
Families, beer, food
In the round town square;
The band: Swiss country, they're called,
Accordion and
Clarinet add that
Swiss sound to guitars and drums;
Elvis covers: nope.
Another band, were
About thirteen, dressed in pink
Jumpsuits, but damn good;
Kids could rock and roll.
The food: crepes with Grand Marnier
And apricots. Whew.
My best concert? Hard
To say. Box seats at Zurich
Opera really rocked!

I grew up listening to my two oldest brothers' music (Shane was born in '68 and Bryant in '69). And ELO is one of our favorite bands.
Sorry Poseur.
Sorry Poseur.
In the great green room,
there was Paris crying "boo".
She needs Goodnight Moon.
