Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Yes, I made a haikuI shall now attempt a second one I have. To make a haiku You will need some syllables Will seventeen do? Srsly, it's 17 syllables for a haiku. Ne, N-E? Seventeen it is, but they are split into lines of five, seven, five. So the first is not, but the second one is, yes. This is quite funny.
Ashley Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Anyway the usual birthday related stuff post (the details of the day itself is in HWYD somewhere). I got moneys. A portable shaver thing. Boom Blox. A collection of hot chocolate stuff. And this from my housemate (which should impress Rez): Giant canvas print (although he appears to be saving the day through the power of fisting). For an idea of size here it is next to my TV (and wrapped up): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1769813&id=536116492 Good times

Uncliched cover to have, plus I love the fact it's so big and in your face. I want one.
Owen Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Hope you had a great day mate! Thats a very cool canvas print and Bloom Blox is a wonderful game!
Supergrunch Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Indeed, my good sir.You have just made a haiku. And look, so have I. But ultimately, a haiku only works in, its native language. In my opinion anyway. For a start the phonological timing is messed up in English, and secondly Japanese tends to use fewer syllables (or rather, moras) to express meaning. Of course technically they're only called haiku if they're about nature, but meh.

Tellyn Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Why/how did I miss this?! A very happy (belated) birthday, Mary Kate. May your next 24 hours be filled with guns, gore, strippers, and PR.
Ashley Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 And Dan Dare. Who may or may not fit into one of those categories :p Thanks
