Well, Mr. AC and I are in haiku heaven. We got so much more than we anticipated, and learned some things we almost wish we didn’t know... almost. We each independently chose our favorites and compared lists, and after much soul searching arrived at consensus.
Our top picks of the group this week:
Octopunk said...
Take one jar cheese whiz
And just as much mayonnaise
Nuke with chopped onions
absolutely repulsive. how long does one nuke this for?
No Jacket Required
my very first cassette tape
played it till it snapped
JPX contributed many truly excellent haikus:
Sometimes with brownies
I only eat the batter
Once ate the whole bowl
Jon and Kate Plus 8
Watching a marriage collapse
Fun when it's not yours
Flintstones vitamins
The healthiest thing I eat
I like the orange ones
In KMART I heard
The Pointer Sisters' "Slow Hand"
Quietly dug it
I'm not Out Of Touch
And I'll blast them from my car
That's right - Hall & Oates
Wham's Careless Whisper
Soundtrack to 5th grade First Kiss
Always a soft spot
80s Madonna
Don'[t care how gay it makes me
I'll Express Myself

Mr. AC loved:
New Kids one the Block
Some of their stuff isn't bad
Piss off - I'M KIDDING.
Whereas AC loved:
Journey can eat fuck
And yet I dig Foreigner
Please don’t ask me why

Only read the sad questions

Oh, Patrick Swayze.

Sigh. Be still my heart.
Mmm. How about food?
Dunkin's vanilla creme filled.
Donut of the gods!
Covered in powder,
Stuffed full of sugary goo,
What's that Homer noise?
Babs and Neil Diamond.
You don't bring me flowers. You
don't sing me love songs...

You're a dancer and fighter

Well deserved Dana...my choice as well!
That's why they call her "The Brain"!
Who else thinks it's high time Mr. AC becomes an official contributor to Horrorthon?
Incidentally, I haven't forgotten about Finish It Friday. Thank you for your patience!
Yay Brain!That was definitely a clincher, congrats!
Does anyone else feel ashamed after this purging?
JSP~ Glad you held off a bit, time to recharge the creative juices.
JSP~ Meant to tell you that Jambi avatar just suits you :)
Oh my gosh! Thanks Mr & Mrs AC!! I'm so excited. Thanks Patrick Swayze!
Nobody puts Dana's Brain in a corner!
Great topic by the way. I think the most shocking admissions were 1) Catfreeek seeing John Denver and 2) Handsome Stan's soft spot for Madonna. *slaps forehead in disbelief*
Ok, let me redeem myself a little here. I was about 12 years old when I saw John Denver and The Starland Vocal Band. My parents took me and my sister to the concert on a whim. My Dad loved John Denver.
Ok, I kinda him too :D
Man, when I saw that Flintstones vitamin picture, which is what I have in my kitchen right now, I thought, "Woo-hoo, I won!"
Damn Brain.
I love Mr. AC's confession about Bob Ross, I laughed all day about that!
catfreeek, i'm ashamed to say i don't feel at all ashamed after this little exercise in self-disclosure.
dana's brain: much deserved! i like how you pulled an octopunk-like barrage of irresistible haikus so late in the evening.
jpx, sorry about the pictorial bait-n-switch! i should have chosen the pictures more sensitively. :(
Ha-Ha, Handsome Stan!
So I just noticed that in the Grease picture AC posted someones foot appears quite suggestively in between Travolta's legs.
Congrats, sis! That was a good topic, ACs.
I think you just nuke the concoction for a minute or so, just enough to get everything soft enough to stir together thoroughly.
I don't know where that recipe came from, but it was a staple for JPX and me when we'd hang out during the junior high era. Usually ate it using Ritz crackers for dipping.
That remains the best dip I've ever had in my life, it was such a treat! It probably contained the fat content of a week's worth of meals and the calories of 10 Big Macs, but hey, I'm still alive and I'm better off for it!
