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

Hey MoGie!

I wrote a poem. OK it's a bit bullet pointy but I'm quite chuffed with it. A11251298

I had a spare half hour and thought I'd write something for SoRB.

I think you're beating me with the juggling. I'll practise this week.

How's the portrait?



Alex.

We definetely need to start listing other forms of Haiku now after your geniusnessnessness.

My-ku, Lie-ku, Pikey-u, Long-ku, Fung-ku etc. I will let you work out what those poems would be based around!

I want to approach
To smile, perform, impress you:
But find I cannot.



Shy-ku.

SoRB

Double O seven,
The man who's licenced to kill.
"The name's Bond. James Bond."



Spy-ku.

SoRB

Take a toke on this
It'll open your mind, man
Turn up the Pink Floyd.



High-ku.

SoRB

Silica gel bag
Works to remove all moisture
A dessicator.



Dry-ku.

SoRB

To square it add one.
We call one point six one eight
The golden section



phi-ku

SoRB

In England, David
In France, it's pronounced "Daveed".
In Wales? Something else.



Dai-ku.

SoRB

The thirty fourth man
To lead the United States
Dwight Eisenhower.



Ike-u.

SoRB

Wow, you are the master !

I'm afraid to say I don't get 'To square it add one.' in the Phi-ku??

What is Phi used for?

Alex.

Phi is the letter used to denote the golden ratio, in the same way pi is used to denote the ratio circumference/diameter.

Lowercase phi = 0.618.

Uppercase Phi = 1.618.

phi * phi = phi + 1 = Phi.

To square it, add one.

SoRB

Wigan's finest dish
In the joke, the cheer goes up:
"No lad. Pies have come."



Pie-ku.

(this joke requires knowledge of a local joke. Man arrives late at a Wigan rugby match. Just as he gets to the stand, a massive cheer goes up. He calls to a guy who can see, "Have we scored?" The man replies "No, lad. Pies have come."

SoRB

I love your pi-ku! Very clever!

The juggling is starting to work because I have the balls handy, pick them up for 5-10 minutes several times daily. If I were *really* serious about it I'd tuck 'em in my bra and carry 'em with me always.

SoRB, St. Pete is *old*! Older than me, even. It was founded towards the end of the 19th century. So

Um, Alfster, what is the secret behind fghytrytfh? Finger spasms?

Wow! You've been busy while I moseyed off in mid post a couple hours ago.

Can you do a quickie fug-ku?

My-ku - Poems all about yourself
Lie-ku - Poems about penis length
Pikey-u - Poems about Gypsies
Long-ku - Poems about waiting at checkouts on a Saturday afternoon
Fung-ku - Poems about dyslexic martial artists

This post has been removed.

And yet pikey is not banned!

Yet.

Fug-ku?
Isn't that the fish SoRB ate in Japan?

What on earth did you say Alf?

I was thinking fug-ku was more like the sentiment one might feel towards the naughty-word-nannies.

tsk tsk tsk, alf. I hope whatever it was you *enunciated* it clearly.
