There were those that are way into it and those who were way out. I had thought about using Blade Runner or Watchmen but thought they might be a little too one off. <BR/><BR/>I did enjoy the comment that someone couldn't get past the hairy feet. :p<BR/><BR/>Johnny, I was waiting for you to drop some serious knowledge but it just wasn't in the cards. The topic just didn't pull it out of you like normal, no biggie. I am sure Stan will stir us up next week with some good stuff.nowandzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836564807373068718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-81610276014746327332009-02-12T08:26:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:26:00.000-08:00Yeah I feel deeply ashamed of my complete and utte...Yeah I feel deeply ashamed of my complete and utter lack of participation yesterday. Sorry Nowandzen! I kept saying "I'll write one a little later, I'll write one a little later" and then it was midnight. <BR/><BR/>Nice work Handsome Stan.

It was a Perfect Storm of plenty of (rare) downtime and an almost perverse knowledge of the subject. <BR/><BR/>nowandzen, thank you for your kind words, and I must echo your choices for honorable mention - I agree wholeheartedly with them all. I might add that Chris seems to be the natural poet here, and really puts deep thought into the overall imagery he's creating. And he's not above a good dick joke, either. The Gimli one is absolutely HILARIOUS.<BR/><BR/>And AC, I'm so glad you got the bed-hopping in there. I wrestled with "Hobbits hugging" for hours.<BR/><BR/>The phrase, not the Hobbits.<BR/><BR/>I think we might finally be out of nerdy topics I know about, so that kind of barrage on my part may not ever happen again. Rest assured I am already deeply in thought over a worthy topic for next week.<BR/><BR/>Well done, Haikuthonners!<BR/><BR/>(Perhaps I can come up with something JSP actually deems worthy of seventeen of his syllables...yes, I went there.)HandsomeStanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948000388685402496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-25417109003937151102009-02-12T05:46:00.000-08:002009-02-12T05:46:00.000-08:00i'm glad handsome stan won, not only for his hilar...i'm glad handsome stan won, not only for his hilarious haikus, but also to honor his nerdy feat of immersion in the tolkien canon.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439637162161958915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-33051730904940662722009-02-12T04:34:00.001-08:002009-02-12T04:34:00.001-08:00Congrats to you once again HS :)Congrats to you once again HS :)Catfreeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215307648862899154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-23140419725533090702009-02-12T04:34:00.000-08:002009-02-12T04:34:00.000-08:00Congrats, handsomestan, you've done it again!
