Champion of the PhotoKu
February 26, 2008
If you missed the contest details, you can find them here.
You are all hilarious, and worthy of expensive Apple merchandise. I wish I had forty $100 gift cards, but if that were the case, I probably wouldn’t be blogging. I’d be watching movies with Joseph Fiennes in my own private theater, and eating at the Primanti’s that’s attached to my spacious, hardwood dining room.
That’s a complete lie, because even in that daydream, there’s a MacBook on my lap. Anyway.
In case you’ve forgotten, or your mouse is broken, here is the picture of Dan that you all wrote haiku about. By the way, did you know that the plural of haiku is haiku? Mind boggling.
I picked my five favorites, and then, honoring the theme, allowed Dan to choose the winner.
The nominees!
Polka dotted hat,
absurd with casual clothes,
My gosh, the intrigue!
by Gina
Dan obviously
does not like the polka dots
but Rachel insists
by Brother Anthony
Dan, our favorite clown.
There, waiting in the background…
the “4″ that killed him.

Dan: modeling a
comical, conical hat.

My hat is taller
My gaze is a fancy one
Come hither, sez I

I hope to have the means to hold many a PhotoKu. For now, though, the champion shall be named Jennifer. (Please email me with your address!)

Congrats to Jennifer.

Woohoo! Congrats!
I like the choice.

Congrats Jennifer!
I was so lost with this contest. The fact that you figured it out and pulled off the victory, well then more power to you.

Wait, so the “4″ didn’t really kill Dan?

Best PhotoKus ever. Sorry for not being able to pick them all. I wanted too, but Rachel would have yelled at me. I did almost die that day by the hand of that four…

Lovely! Congrats to Jennifer. May this be the beginning of many Photoku contests.

Sweet! Got nominated!

Was Dan wearing the hat when he handed in the verdict?

congrats to jennifer :)

Lol, that was great. I love how haiku (plural) can be so much amusement packed into so few syllables :P
February 27th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Oh, this is so humbling! I would like to thank the academy.

I somehow managed to miss this haiku contest. Shucks.
In other news: Mmm, Joseph Fiennes.

I just found out the other day the plural for cul de sac is culs de sac. Seriously.
February 29th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Those were all pretty good, but I’d probably go with your favorite as well. Good to meet a fellow Joseph Fiennes fan, I can’t watch enough of him in Shakespeare in Love.

I’m so mad…I spent too much time trying to find out what I haiku was!
Very talented group you have here :)

Just for your edification, Japanese doesn’t have plurals.
