v2, d404: Haiku

Due to Internet
Error, Haiku Blog now on
Day Four-Oh-Four.  Ha.  

Sorry, library.
Not going to finish this
One on time. Renew.

Five good running backs.
Only three good receivers.
Unfortunate, that.

Dinosaurs fit well
Into haiku poetry.
Apatasaurus.

Went to a middle
School once where kids were kissing
In the halls. That's gross.

Ocean waves recede.
Sun sets o'er a peaceful shore.
Humboldt squid attack.

Playing cards with clowns.
Water skiing with angels.
Hot dogs before bed.

I need to go to
Toronto.  No, I mean it.
Hockey Hall of Fame.

Earthquakes are rumbling.
The earth's surface is shifting.
I'm watching TV.

Seven skinny cows
Ate the seven fat cows. I
Bet their tummies hurt.

See that last haiku?
It was straight up Biblical.
Jesus is real, y'all.

Andrew Lloyd Weber.
He wrote lots of musicals.
Andrew Lloyd Weber.

I'm ready to go
To bed. I miss sleeping.  I
Miss writing more, though.

Man I hope Isaac
Takes a few naps tomorrow.
Good nite, ev'ryone!

v2, d157: Humboldt Squid Update

The only thing more phenomenal than this headline is misreading this headline and replacing the last word with "sticks" instead of "stocks."  (I think the "giant" claim may be a tad unsubstantiated, but as longtime readers of FOMW/WBW know, these creatures are not to be taken lightly and should be reported immediately to the proper authorities) Though I have to admit, if I'm the squid, I'm pretty hacked off.  That's got to be the least intimidating picture of a Humboldt I've ever seen in print.  Now, this one here pretty much says "Evil Torpedo of Murky Death."  This one is more of a "Ghostly White Angel of Death" look.  And this says "And Now We're Coming Out of the Water to Get You."  (Or, "If Mega Man Jumped On Us, He'd Be Dead.")

Fortunately, the plan is to send out an army of robotic warriors to make the seas safe once again.  (At least, I assume this is the plan)  Unfortunately, while progress on this front is definitely being made, it's coming very, very slowly. 

The robot-squid war is coming.

Which begs the question: William Hanna and Joe Barbara: first anti-robot, pro-squid propagandists?  We report, you decide.

Youtube fail: A quick search for "robot vs squid" gives you nothing useful.
