Haiku Friday: My Grade Was a "B"

In high school, by brother Bill wrote the best high school paper I have ever read. It was entitled something like "The Use of "Whip It" in the Work of The Dazz Band and Devo." It really was a brilliant social analysis-- but he got a "B." In honor of that paper, we are going to change haiku Friday a bit. You can write whatever you want, so long as the last line is "My grade was a B."

Here is mine:

Dazz Band and Devo
Cleveland and Akron meet...
My grade was a "B"

Now it is your turn.

When Waco is stranger than fiction...

Waco has been a wonderful place to live. One thing about it is that... well, it stays interesting. Inexplicably, the President of the U.S. decides to live here. Then, one night people claim they hear an explosion like a rocket ship blowing up. It turns out that it was a rocket ship blowing up at a heretofore unknown rocket ship testing facility in town. Then, of course, we had the public tv station inadvertantly airing porn...

Most recently, the band Devo put up a billboard near my house, over by the Catfish King restaurant. I'm not sure why, but Carl Hoover did a pretty good job of trying to explain this. Here is Devo's own video on the subject:



Will Minneapolis be this interesting?

For those Wacoans out there, feel free to share your own stories of the bizarre and amazing...
