It’s like gibberish haiku.
Because if there’s one thing Hitler was known for, it’s making borderline inappropriate changes to intelligence reports before the reports were made public.
Apparently, the latest spin is that Obama deceived the American people by calling it an “act of terror” instead of a “terrorist attack”.
I’m not sure I can even see the goalposts anymore.
shenryu - not haiku
Just think “Obama”
let it settle on yer tongue
go find somewhere else
Haiku should have a topic of NATURE
(and be in the 5-syllable/7 syllable/5 syllable pattern)
shenryu is same pattern, but need not involve nature
(shaking head over sad definitions of haiku)
but what did I expect?
“good lines from old movies…”
the horror… the horror
from Apocalypse Now
allegedly based on Conrad’s HEART OF DARKNESS (I am trying to read now)
oh -
“authentic frontier gibberish” is from Mel Brook’s BLAZING SADDLES
HAIKU AND SHENRYU ARE EXACT jAPANESE verbal forms
differring in subject matter only
again, if you doubt my scholarship, may yer house become an dunghill; etc etc
"Tthat was my question. "
Oh.
I see now.
“It is still May now.
Dew and chill seem April though
I wont kill myself”
(a Spring haiku)
BLAZING SADDLES, you say? Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens? Screenplay by Andrew Bergman and Richard Pryor, among others? Number six on AFI’s 100 funniest movies of all time? Tenth film in history to exceed $100 million in revenues? Alex Karras punches a horse?
Never heard of it.
Anyway, I remind you that you’re the one who selected that term to describe your posts.
What is it with you kids? Why the hate on old folks?
McCain is still kicking… he’d a made both terms had he won! 
Not this again.
I rush to defend you wonderful young people
Yes Kabong - Alex Karras’ character was “Mongo” and at one point they were feeding him beans with a SHOVEL!
The sherriff is… NEAR!!
He said “the Sherriff is NEAR!”
rofl
“He rode a blazing saddle
he wore a shining star”
Shit. Blazing Saddles - you couldn’t get away with it TODAY!
yet it was done back then… amazing
Marley - I think Straight Dope should sponsor a “contest for Obama-bashing shenryu”
it’s just like Haiku - only Diffurnt…
deals with people rather than nature
same number of syllables per line
Circle Drive-Inn has become the haunt of flea markets
at one time tho - Circle, Waco, and Joy (dollar a carload) Drive-Inns were the passion pits of the day
technically, Kabong - I originally ACCEPTED - rather than SELECTED - the phrase “authentic frontier gibberish” - to describe my posting style
but i have owned it for 14 years
Remember that time that guy posted some crap about Hillary and Benghazi? Man, that was some kind of superfailure.
I remember that
it was EIGHT PAGES ago on this thread, right?
"Gah- can anyone translate this into English? "
I think it means “CLEAVE YOU!”!
Feels like years. I sense the point is escaping you: you’re fucking up your own threads with your incoherence and ADD or whatever it is.
It wasn’t settled to my satisfaction. *nyahh!
oOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooohhhhh
DOCTOR Marley23
has referred to my ADD
They’re saying she won’t run because she’s old, not that she’s too old to be president or that old people are incompetent or something. Is it that hard? McCain is still around, but Congress is only in session about 120 days a year and his job at this point is being grouchy he lost to Obama.
She is too old to be president.
Nobody who counts.
Sorry, I left my Folksy/English - English/Folksy dictionary on the bus.
Of course, at this point I wouldn’t care if Habakkuk declared himself an avid Elizabeth Warren supporter and campaign volunteer - his opportunity to be taken seriously has come and gone.
