Hai-Kuul – June 06, 2005 – Part 2 – Contest Winner & More!

The Hai-Kuul Contest is Done!

That’s right. The 25th entry was received this morning. The runner up was VisitingSweethonesty for submitting the request that lead to the 250th haiku. She will win a 4×6 print of the morning scene.



The Winner

The winner receives an 8×10 glossy print of the morning scene. And here is her request…


That’s Enough (Requested by Drea)
You’ve filled my soup bowl
For a second time. But I
Am not that hungry


Nicely done, Drea!

I will need both of your mailing addresses, so just e-mail me and we can arrange to get your prints to you!

Congrats go out to both of the winners. Stay tuned, as I will have a 500th haiku contest in what appears to be a short time indeed!


Hai-Kuul Queen (Requested by Drea)
The battle is on
Which gal will request the most?
My brain is jello


Blondisma (Requested by Drea)
A rare condition
Of implied stupidity
It is not true, though


Bamaram (Requested by Drea)
Is this word from Hook?
Or could it possibly be
Some Persian music?


Heave Away (Requested by Drea)
The drinks went down fast
I’m running to the bathroom
I hope I make it


Mark My Words (Requested by Drea)
You’ve lost count of how
Many times you have heard this.
The mantra of moms


I Will Win (Requested by Drea)
Determination
A strong and unyelding soul
It’s all in the mind


Pyromaniac (Requested by Drea)
Lighting matches rocks
I could stare at a campfire
And I’d lose myself


Slinky (Requested by Drea)
What walks down the stairs
And makes a slinkety sound?
A slinky, I bet!


Toast To Jorge (Requested by Drea)
Let us raise a glass
To…er…me…and how much I
Er…totally rock!


Twenties (Requested by Drea)
The wonderful age
Between teenhood and mid-life
Where youth is enjoyed


Enough (Requested by Drea)
The title of this
Is very similar to
A recent title


Toe Stubbage (Requested by Drea)
I hate the corners
I think that furniture should
Float high off the ground


Thirteen is Unlucky (Requested by Drea)
Irrational fear
Triskaidekaphobia
Why fear a number?


The Columbian Navy (Requested by Ian)
Don’t mess with these guys
They have very large cannons
That fire sacks of coke


You should read Ian’s blog for the full story of this next one…


Poppin’ Wheelies (Requested by Ian)
Some handicapped folks
Can do the wickedest things
With their rolling chairs


Shirtless Santa (Requested by Ian)
This Santa is cut
He preaches about fitness
So many pushups!


Rat Man (Requested by Ian)
Nathan Phillip’s Square
There is a man with his rats
They’re his family


Snarky is As Snarky Does (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Don’t treat me poorly
Your attitude will just be
Reflected right back


Monday Morning (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
I hate waking up
And having to face the day
When it’s Monday morn


Smooth Teeth (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
It’s like hairy teeth
But this time the sugar makes
Your teeth feel slimy


Where’s My Ten Foot Pole When I Need it? (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
I SO hate that guy
He is very disgusting
Where is that damned pole?


Waiting For the Rain… (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
The ground is quite dry
The people are all so parched
They look to the sky


French Manicure (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
A way to pamper
And it’s different than a
Spanish manicure


I’m With Stupid -> (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Check out my buddy
He thinks that popsicles are
Sugary weapons


In that line of thought…


You Deserve a Popsicle (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Your criminal acts
Will earn you a proper death
With this popsickle


Beasties (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
You will see them out
In the wild. Running free and
Pooing everywhere


Beautiful Eyes (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Nothing is as sweet
As staring into a pair
Of beautiful eyes


Qui Moi? (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Whether in English
Or even in the French tongue
Trouble will find you


Born On Friday the Thirteenth (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
People say my luck
Is of the worst kind due to
The day I was born


SpellCheckMate (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
You have backed yourself
Into a literary
Corner. Surrender!

It’s a good thing these arrived. Having them lost in cyber-space would suck donkeys.

Enjoy!


Stupid Questions From Stupid People (Requested by Cat)
Why do you bother?
When you open your big mouth
I hear naught but crap


Bite Me (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
I have had enough
Get off my cloud, you jackass
Go play in traffic


Fly Away (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Imagination
One of the most powerful
Forces in the world


Gorillas In the Mist (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Jane Fossey was cool
She showed the world a new way
To eat bananas


Closed Eyes (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
I’m tired of counting
I can hear you. You’re close by
Time for me to seek


Gin and Juice (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
I’ve become thirsty
But in a specific way
Bring on my alky


Minty (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Gargle your mouthwash
When breath is smelling funky
Guaranteed Action


Misogynist (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Why do you hate girls?
There is nothing wrong with them
Something’s wrong with you


Frizzy Hair (Requested by edplue79)
Don’t mess with the hair
It has a life of its own
It will mess you up


Being Bloated (Requested by edplue79)
I ate too much food
Sitting here on this sofa
I might just explode


Girls In Short Skirts (Requested by edplue79)

They are proud of their bodies
Check out those gams, yo!

They’re full of sweat stains
Telling the tale of the road
Here comes the convoy!


I Accidentally Farted (Requested by edplue79)
Why here? And why now?
At the worst possible time
During my review


Pink Cadillac (Requested by St-Martini-of-the-Vodka)
I’m cruising along
Top down and wind in my hair
Pinnacle of cool


Birthday Party For a Cat (Requested by TeresaDawn-Armetiel)
Happy Birthday, cat
I made you this cake out of
Little, fuzzy mice


Congrats to VisitingSweethonesty for requesting the 250th Hai-Kuul! While she doesn’t win the main prize, it’s certainly something to be recognized! You will receive a small token of appreciation at the end of this contest.


Crazy Ex’s (Requested by VisitingSweethonesty)
What’s with these people?
For sure, that is the last time
I use Lavalife


On with the show…

Only on his own talk show
Crazy tapdancer

Hai-Kuultest – Part Three

The 250th haiku is fast approaching. It is time for another contest to celebrate the milestone.

The contest will be similar to the last one. Check out the rules below…


Starting today, at 13:00 EST, I will be taking requests for Hai-Kuul. The 25th request wins. The rules are as follows…

  • The request must be made in the Hai-Kuul post on the sidebar as a comment. Any other Hai-Kuul request will not be counted as an entry, but I will create a Haiku for it regardless.
  • You cannot submit more than one request at a time. Thus five requests in the same comment only count as one entry.
  • You cannot submit more than one comment in a row at a time. Thus, if you were to submit two comments in a row, it would only count as one entry.
  • The Request must be original. No duplicates (which means you have to read the other ones). Duplicate requests will be deleted.
  • The winner of the last contest cannot win this time. However, that person may contribute suggestions, and their entries will count towards the 25 entries. Should this person submit the 25th entry, the 26th will be the winner.
  • No members of my family are eligible for this. Any request from my family will be ignored (I will still write a haiku for the request though).
  • To receive the prize (there is only one), you must be able to provide me with a mailing address.


The 250th Haiku may or may not occur due to this contest. If it does, it is a happy coincidence.

The prize for the 25th requestor will be an 8×10 glossy limited print (1/20) of a Morning Sky in Algonquin Park (on 8.5×11 Canon Professional Photo Paper)…



Good luck!

UPDATE (June 06, 2005): This contest is now closed.

Hai-Kuul – May 18, 2005 – Contest Winner!

The Hai-Kuul Contest is Over!

That’s right. The 31st entry was received yesterday. But I also decided to give the runner up a small version of the print, because it was a great show of participation on everyone’s part.



The Runner Up

The runner up receives a 4×6 glossy print of the tigers. And without further ado…


Scavengers (Requested by St-Martini-of-the-Vodka)
Vultures pick at guts
Just like some people find things
At Sunday yard sales


Congrats, Jay!



The Winner

The winner receives an 8×10 glossy print of the tigers. And here is her request…


Clobbering a Fish (Requested by Cat)
First you hold the fish
And then whack it on the head
Hopefully it works


Way to go, Cat!

I will need both of your mailing addresses, so just e-mail me and we can arrange to get your prints to you!

Congrats go out to both of the winners. There will be other print giveaways in the future, so stay tuned!

Hai-Kuultest – Part One

So, I was thinking about the fact that the 100th haiku is fast approaching. And I was thinking about having a contest for this.

The problem is that some of the haiku are my own, which shouldn’t count if it was a contest. Some of the haiku are created based on interpretations of a topic, creating more than one haiku for a request.

There is also the fact that some people do multiple requests in one comment, and some that only do one. What is to prevent someone from posting one hundred requests? Nothing.

And so, I phoned my friend Dave, and in our banter, I came up with this new idea.

To celebrate the milestone, I will hold a contest in the following manner…


Starting today, at 14:00 EST, I will be taking requests for Hai-Kuul. The 31st request wins. The rules are as follows…

  • The request must be made in the Hai-Kuul post on the sidebar as a comment. Any other Hai-Kuul request will not be counted as an entry, but I will create a Haiku for it regardless.
  • You cannot submit more than one request at a time. Thus five requests in the same comment only count as one entry.
  • You cannot submit more than one comment in a row at a time. Thus, if you were to submit two comments in a row, it would only count as one entry.
  • The Request must be original. No duplicates (which means you have to read the other ones). Duplicate requests will be deleted.
  • No members of my family are eligible for this. Any request from my family will be ignored (I will still write a haiku for the request though).
  • To receive the prize (there is only one), you must be able to provide me with a mailing address.


The 100th Haiku may or may not occur due to this contest. If it does, it is a happy coincidence.

The prize for the 31st requestor will be an 8×10 glossy limited print (2/100) of two tigers (on 8.5×11 Canon Professional Photo Paper)…



Good luck!

Special thanks to Cat for helping me out with the proofing of the rules.
