h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Folded on itself
Our universe ticks over
quite nicely thankyou


nt:egg and chips; monks; yucca plants

Trappist monks make jam
from yucca plants, then spread on
egg and chips for lunch.

forget anything,
Paul H? we wait for three new
topics of haiku.

Shaolin monks don't eat
Eggs, or chips, or yucca plants
They're Kung Fu Masters

I took last topic
because new topic was not
given by Paul H

(Are the chips in "Eggs and chips" the same as in "Fish and chips(french fries)", or more like Hash Browns (shredded fried potatos), or something entirely different? I am curious)

I mock Paul H but
fail to give topics myself
I feel really dumb

next: bubble gum, soldier ants, Chinese food

Chinese take-out is
Like wading through bubble gum
And finding some ants

Next: The joys of Japanese food

california rolls,
sashimi(spelling?), all good food. and,
of course, wasabi!(spelling)

little knick-knacks you find lying around.

A thing! A thing! what
is it I cry, delighted;
turn it in my hand.

I meant those really thick crispy chips you get with fish in yorkshire chip shops. The ones that ooze grease. They're not much like a french fry OR a hash brown. It may be a peculiarity of the English to like eating lumps of potato dipped in grease. But occasionally even the best of us get yearnings for them.........

nt: Gurning championships; golden trophies; dwarves.

A horse collar frames
Unreal expressions of dwarves.
Golden trophy won.

nt: A haiku written entirely in base 2.

01110
1001001
11000

Only you might have to use the ascii table on [URL Removed by Moderator] to decode it (use the codes rather than the smileys..) and it doesn't make a great deal of sense anyway.

I guess that will probably get moderated out and you'll have to use your own ascii tables.



Next topic: Silly haiku topics that result in nonsensical haikus

11011100,
1100001111,
1000111110.

(that's two hundred twenty, seven hundred eighty-three, seven hundred two)



nt:tricksy topics

Always be careful
What you ask for. Crap in
Leads oft' to crap out.


nt: haiku disastisfaction, cleansing processes, triumph

oops, too late. took me a little to translate into binary. lucky that the topics are similar. use the first one then.

Dissatisfaction
with Paul H for no topics:
justified. Sorry.

(Have to do a second haiku to
deal with triumph and cleansing)

Dissatisfaction
or triumph as U.S. tries
to cleanse Middle East?

(Okay, now I owe two sets
of next topics)

First set: birds' nest, bathing beauties, and blowfish

Second set: Sea serpents, sanskrit, and shopping bags

blowfish in birds' nest
fall onto bathing beauties
Hear them scream and splash

Sea serpents are found
on sanskrit tablets and bags
from the grocery

Next:

(A) Francis eating lunch on the bridge

(B) Arbors, architecture, leather

Francis takes sandwich
from leather bag near trees on
a suspension bridge.

nt: rollmop herrings, nuclear command bunker, Ted Danson.

Ted Danson's bunker
Safe from rollmop herring's glow
Saved by Shiney Teeth

Next: Pete Yorn, and the bad taste in your mouth you get after hearing him

Peter Yorn sings "Don
Giovanni." Bad popcorn
makes audience sick.

Next topics: The chunnel, the improbability
drive, and pickled herring

what is a chunnel?
connect Drive to a pickled
herring to find out.

(but seriously, what is it?)

really good music, accompanied by the staccato tap of the keys.
