Haiku Smackdown V: Smack & Smackier

April 01, 2004

Haiku Smackdown Five!
How much more 'ku can you do?
Are you bored to tears?

Does the thought of one
more five-seven-five fill you
with dread? Have no fear!

I've changed the rules, yo.
Be sure to read them before
you 'ku. Check it, dawg.

Pop culture is the
game this week. Keep it funny,
real snarky, real cool.

And the 'ku-er with
the maddest mad skillz we'll crown
Grand Haiku Master.

(Lord. New rules? So soon?
Cousin Oliver is here.
The Shark, it is jumped.)

"Idol's" Amy is gone.
John S. and Camile are Not.
My votes must not count.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 06:30 AM

John's still around, yet
He has the talent of my
Refridgerator

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 07:05 AM

I do love John P.
Not for his singing, however.
John P. makes me smile.

Little Z love George.
Voted for him 16 times.
At least he's still in.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 07:19 AM

What? A singing fridge!
That’s quite a unique talent
You must feed him well

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 07:20 AM

Right now this ‘ku day
Is a bit quiet like Brown;
James, Bobby and Sam

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 07:51 AM

I can't stop bitching.
About Amy going home.
I'll boycott A.I.

No- I cant do that.
I'll talk Survivor instead.
Ambah is slammin'!

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 08:15 AM

Music in my head?
Song from "School of Rock" soundtrack.
Its called "Teacher's Pet"

Its a good soundtrack.
Several Oldies but Goodies.
Some from the Kid Band.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 08:42 AM

Holy living hell.
Airport connections suck clown
balls when you miss yours.

I missed AI both nights
The quirky pink-haired girls are
always first to go.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 08:48 AM

Besides Haiku day
Today is April fools day
I'm having a blast

Don't trust me today
Hey, Girls just want to have fun
Cindy Lauper Rocks

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 08:54 AM

A pop culture theme?
This could be a problem, yo
I don't do A.I.

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 09:00 AM

Oh shit! I'm confused!
I hope theme is not A.I.
Where's Simon Fuller?

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 09:06 AM

Theme is NOT AI,
Just easiest reference
for early morning.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 09:14 AM

Kingdom Hospital -
I think its getting canceled.
Have you all heard this?

I like Stephen King -
Well, at least a little bit.
But, not that show though.

The concept was good.
It tried to be "Twin Peaks"-ish,
But it sucked at it.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 09:24 AM

Ohhh thanks Amalah
I was starting to worry
Pop Culture it is!

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 09:25 AM

Theme has killed haiku.
Let's talk bad (BAD) TV shows
you secretly love.

I'll go first. I still
kinda sorta think Perfect
Strangers is funny.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 09:27 AM

Prince or The Artist
could be known as your standard
metrosexual

quality verses
quantity, pop culture too
oh the pressure Amy!

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 09:28 AM

my life mimics the
Roseanne Show of the 90's
really, sad but true

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 09:28 AM

How I miss Balki
Not to mention Who's The Boss
And I mourn Urkel

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 09:33 AM

Saved By The Bell was
my favorite after-school
entertainment, yo

Major crush on Zach
Slater wasn't bad, either
Idolized Kelly

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 09:33 AM

I stayed home to watch
TGIF in high school.
Such a dork I was.

Full House, Step By Step
and Urkel: ev'ry Friday
night. What a loser.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 09:35 AM

Am waiting for the
E! True Hollywoord Story
'bout Saved By the Bell.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 09:39 AM

Can you say the names -
First and Last of the main kids
From "Saved by the Bell"?

That was the big thing,
To try to do in college.
Who needs a degree?

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 09:42 AM

TGIF! Woo!
Huge fan of Full House I was
Uncle Jesse rocked

Never saw Showgirls
"Jessie Spano naked!" my
RA described it

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 09:43 AM

I watched Sabrina
She's annoying, but bright spot -
Harvey (not the witch)

Posted by: Kayley | April 01, 2004 at 09:43 AM

facts of life, chips, alf
growing pains and family ties
i miss the 80's

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 09:47 AM

Alf! Poor puppet is
now shilling for collect calls
or some 10-10 thing.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 09:50 AM

Serves Amy right, yo
Pink bitch stole my signature
"Sin Wagon" song. Bye!

I watched "Saved" last night
the one where they graduate
Why Zack Morris last?

Posted by: Coleen | April 01, 2004 at 09:50 AM

Alphabetical
By first name? But, why? Although,
It makes good TV.

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 09:51 AM

Did anyone watch
the new Judith Light show last
night? It canceled yet?

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 09:55 AM

who remembers these
happy days, i loved the fonz
lavern and shirley?

thumbs up to me, yo
in honor tried coke and milk
but eww too nasty!

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 09:58 AM

I was wondering
About The Stones this morning
It can't last for long

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 10:00 AM

Facts of Life: my fave
Tootie, Blair, Jo, Natalie
And Mrs.Garrett

I miss that theme song
Shows today just aren't the same
No good tunes to sing

"You take the good, take
the bad, take them both, there you
have... the Facts Of Life."

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 10:02 AM

I do not believe
The Stones will spawn any more
Judith Light fan art.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 10:02 AM

I saw Tootie on
Star Dates! That was kinda sad.
Date didn't know her.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 10:04 AM

Poor Bill Cosby cries!
The Huxtables. Pushed aside
Evil Judith Light

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 10:05 AM

Tootie on Star Dates
Don't you have to BE a star
to be on that show?

It's a pity but
Her star fell a long time past
What has she done since?

The news reports say
"Jo", Nancy McKeon, has
Schitzophrenia

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 10:07 AM

I watched the one when
Laverne thinks that she's preggers
heady sitcom stuff.

Please bring me drugs, yo.
My foot and heel are killing
I am in PAIN! Shit.

Posted by: Coleen | April 01, 2004 at 10:09 AM

That's because the drink
Was milk and Pepsi, not Coke
I'd guess it still sucks

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 10:09 AM

Poor Tootie. No one
remembers Living Single
from the 90s, yo.

And she also did
The Vagina Monologues.
So that's, um, something.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 10:12 AM

According to E!'s
website, Tootie once trashed her
Facts dressing room. Rawk.

She also dated
Todd Bridges from Diff'rent Strokes.
Ok, I'm done now.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 10:19 AM

I miss Knight Rider,
Not for David, but for KIT.
I hate David H.

I loved A-Team too.
Murdock was my Favorite.
Had a crush on FACE.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 10:19 AM

She did Vagina?
I can't imagine Tootie
talking about sex!

Tho there was one 'sode
Back seat petting led to more
but Tootie said no

I remember well
Tootie said, "Ow, that hurts me"
Penetration stopped

After that she seemed
A pure and innocent girl
No sex for Tootie

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 10:21 AM

Tootie? Near-miss sex?
It can't be! She was always
so innocent, yo

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 10:23 AM

Am now traumatized
Tootie saying, "Ow, please stop"
It just seems so wrong

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 10:27 AM

Near-miss sex indeed
Toot wore a pink, puffy dress
It may have been prom

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 10:27 AM

Come on people, KIT!
Which is better, Tootie Sex,
Or a talking Car!

I'll keep talking KIT.
I dont know about Tootie.
Knight Rider rocks, though.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 10:31 AM

Never saw that show
How did I miss Knight Rider?
Have heard I'm deprived

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 10:36 AM

I remember KIT
Talking or not, no interest
I'm a girl, you know

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 10:38 AM

Dawnie not miss much.
But the talking car was cool.
David H. was not.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 10:41 AM

But back to AI
I'm pissed Amy was booted
Camille stayed? That's crap.

Camille doesn't smile
She's stiff and has attitude
Eliminate her

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 10:45 AM

I used to enjoy
Simon and Simon as well
as Magnum PI

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 10:53 AM

My 6th grade English
teacher had unholy love
for Tom Selleck, yo.

Pictures of Magnum
Posted all over her room
It was kind of weird

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 10:58 AM

I am with you, Kim.
I loved Amy, hate Camile.
At least George was safe.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 10:59 AM

(Just posted a long
laborious account of
my Florida trip.)

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 11:01 AM

I loved Tom Selleck
when I was five. I would kiss
my sister's posters.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 11:03 AM

What's with the mustache?
It made him look quite creepy
Tom, "The Molester!"

Ok, maybe not
But I don't like the mustache
A 70's fad

Zoot, I like George too
A cutie with a big heart
I hope he goes far

But please get rid of
That John Peter Lewis kid
He can't sing or dance

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 11:03 AM

ut oh ut oh oh
nix Camile please but do no
JPL bashing!

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 11:05 AM

Oh no! Not you too!
JPL has no talent!
He's cute, and that's it.

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 11:06 AM

JPL Can't Sing.
He makes me smile, I love him.
I dont want him gone :(

But, I know he sucks.
And one day he must go home,
"Home" meaning, "My Home" :)

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 11:09 AM

At least you see it
His blatant lack of talent
I admit he's cute

It's sad though, because
The ones with talent will go
before JPL

Why? Teenage girls vote
More than anyone else does
And they all want him

Not because he sings
Or deserves to still be there
He wiggles his bum

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 11:12 AM

ha ha me too, yes
his lack of talent draws me
and I love his dad!

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 11:13 AM

Gave up on AI
Paula started making sense
Must have balanced meds.

Sure my friends may laugh
But Joan of Arcadia
Is a really good show.

The Apprentice, yo
Not as good as Survivor
I'm still Burnett's bitch.

Posted by: keepergirl | April 01, 2004 at 11:15 AM

In Survivor pool
Afraid to watch the damn show
Must not jinx myself

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 11:17 AM

My name's Kim too guys.
Look back at the last few posts.
3 Kims and Idol Talk.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 11:19 AM

My name's Kim too guys.
Look back at the last few posts.
3 Kims Idol Talk.

Apprentic Rocks too.
Tonight will be a good ep.
I like the boys best.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 11:20 AM

Thats weird. I posted -
BEFORE clicking Post button.
First one is wrong count.

Back to TV shows?
Remember "out of this world"?
I want to stop time.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 11:21 AM

Zoot's real name is Kim?
Not a common name these days
Monikers have changed

Shoot, I have to go
A meeting at ten-thirty
CD-ROM rejig

Then another one
Photographer site survey
Needs to see this place

Should be back at one
Hours of Haiku catch-up
I'll be way behind

Posted by: Kim | April 01, 2004 at 11:22 AM

How come no one is
Haikuing about my fam?
The Brady Bunch, dude!

Posted by: Lauren aka New Jan | April 01, 2004 at 11:23 AM

penny marshal is

yes PEPSI and milk

I think Kim was a
popular 70's name
why I'm kimberLEE

I must admit here
Apprentice-aholic, me
I want nick to win

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 11:27 AM

i wanted to make out with
Greg and peter, yo!

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 11:28 AM

I love the Bradys.
But Sam the Butcher, yeah right.
Alice was so gay!

I read Greg's book and
I was a little skeeved out
Dated TV mom!

Posted by: keepergirl | April 01, 2004 at 11:29 AM

What was that show called..
With the girl who could freeze time
Using her fingers?

Posted by: Sweety | April 01, 2004 at 11:35 AM

What about Danger
Mouse? I loved that show! But I
Forget Bad Guy's name

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 11:37 AM

I'm sad to admit
Every Brady episode
A gazillion times

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 11:38 AM

Also sad to say
My last haiku made no sense
Its one of those days

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 11:42 AM

'scary' music from
bradys in hawaii ep
still haunts me sometimes

Posted by: Kayley | April 01, 2004 at 11:44 AM

Vicki the robot
from Small Wonder anyone?
Awesomely bad show.

I remember when
Vicki learned to cry but she
had no tear ducts! Whoa!

I also swore for
years that kid who played Jamie
was Billy Corgan.

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 11:46 AM

friend tried to dress up
as Vicky for Halloween
looked nothing like her

Posted by: Kayley | April 01, 2004 at 11:54 AM

Fellow 'ku-ers, Hi!
I finally made it in
Now I can join you.

Cannot Haiku much
My brain and body are fried
won't be Grandmaster.

Car will not start, 'yo
First rear-ended, now totalled
this Monday morning.

Funny thing, 'ku-ers
Shiz has been so queasy since
Maybe concussion?

No more pitying
Time for the pop culture, Dudes
try to play by rules:

Richard Simmons learned
Slapping someone gets noticed
but now being sued.

Posted by: Shiz | April 01, 2004 at 11:54 AM

Oh my god Amy
You just came up with the worst
TV show EVER!

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 12:01 PM

Have no idea
what the HECK is "Small Wonder"?
never heard of it.

Posted by: Shiz | April 01, 2004 at 12:02 PM

She's a small wonder,
a girl unlike other girls...
Theme songs sap brain cells!

Posted by: Amalah | April 01, 2004 at 12:10 PM

Y'all remember C.H.I.P.S.?
Dad and Bro so into it
Spanish & white Cop.

Frank Poncherello
together with Jon Baker
rode motorcycles

Alas Dudes, it aired
the same time as Brady Bunch
missed Brady's for C.H.I.P.S.

Posted by: Shiz | April 01, 2004 at 12:24 PM

I used to love CHIPS
Until the silly cast change
Then it jumped the shark

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 12:26 PM

Anyone who picks
CHIPS over the Brady Bunch
Will get the beat down!

Posted by: Lauren aka New Jan | April 01, 2004 at 12:30 PM

I was the younger
and it was two against one
I wanted Brady's.

Posted by: Shiz | April 01, 2004 at 12:44 PM

dukes of hazzard rock
i had a hamster, named him
rosco p coltrain

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 12:47 PM

Brady's versus CHIPS?
Take the Bunch over the fuzz
Lest Jan get pissed off

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 12:49 PM

I feel so damn young!
Bradys? CHIPS? Before my time.
I watched Family Ties

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 12:54 PM

How 'bout The Fall Guy?
And Aerowolf? Sorry guys;
the boys picked the shows.

Posted by: Shiz | April 01, 2004 at 12:56 PM

gilligan's island
my alltime favorite show
love the professor!

Posted by: kimberlee | April 01, 2004 at 12:57 PM

What about He-Man,
Masters of the Universe?
Really bad movie

Posted by: Dawnie | April 01, 2004 at 01:00 PM

Did I tell you all
that I do not have TV?
zero reception.

and for the most part
I do not really miss it
except for one show

Judging Amy, dudes
I'm afraid to confess it
but I loved it, yo.

how can I find out
what the heck is going on?
cannot find recaps.

Did Amy & Stu
ever really get married?
what happened to them?

Posted by: Shiz | April 01, 2004 at 01:03 PM

I know two dogs named
Rosco P. Coltrain, really!
It is a good name.

Sweety, That was it -
Girl touched fingers and stopped time.
Dad was alien.

I cant watch cop shows.
I watched CHiPs every day.
All others seem fake.

Erik Estrada
Was the best TV cop, yo.
I am very lame.

Posted by: Zoot | April 01, 2004 at 01:03 PM

Y'all's spelling saddens
It is Rosco P. Coltrane
IMDB rules.

Is there no love then
For the Thundercats? Voltron?
Transformers? Woe. Woe.

Posted by: Coleen | April 01, 2004 at 01:04 PM

Sometimes I feel old
Like when people weren't born yet
When CHIPS was first on

Posted by: Chris | April 01, 2004 at 01:13 PM

Aerosmith is back
With a kick ass new album
Years in the waiting

It's all bluesy rock
Just one original song
The rest are covers

Don't let that fool you
Steve's harmonica is best
All songs are damn good

They are my fav band
You should run and buy it NOW
Maybe I'm biased?

Posted by: Tjej | April 01, 2004 at 01:13 PM

Punky Brewster, Ugh!
Lorenzo in Renegade,
Totally LOVE KIT!

Posted by: Beth | April 01, 2004 at 01:14 PM

The Pretender - good!
Loved Profiler, but nothing
matches Alias!

Posted by: Beth | April 01, 2004 at 01:18 PM

MrZoot just bought,
G.I.Joe DVD set.
I never watched it.

My favorite old 'toon?
JEM and the HOLOGRAMS, yo.
Synergy beat KIT.
