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

There is a gap in
my memory. A bump on
the head? Aliens?

nt: Shakespear

Did you know Macbeth
really reigned for eighteen years
and MacDuff was framed?

next: Lawyers

This post has been removed.

They're really quite smart,
But often disliked. Do we
do justice to them?

next: refried beans

, or

Refried beans? I don't
think Kensington's tasted it
I'd best keep quiet.

heh heh

nt: penguins

Sick of that image
Little green men with big eyes
My "prober" was blue

Not really, just havin' fun !!!

NT: Steam Rooms

Sorry, I was replying to Post 60 (I thought it was the last one. I forgot to check the down button on the posting.) Let me try penguins and the next contestant can try steam rooms.

So cold, very cold
Why did I wear a tux when
We're going swimming

NT: Steam Rooms

The heat melts my mind
dripping from glowing pink skin
breath comes hard and hot


nt: Jazz

Sounds, hot and smoky
Loft through the streets of Orleans
Somewhere a sax sings

I really don't know much about jazz, but I do know that the University of North Texas has a very good jazz program.

NT: mosquitoes (I've got a good one in mind for my next NT, but I'll wait for a reply to this.)

Swarming all over
stinging everyone... Oops, I
thought it was lawyers

nt:country houses

Perfect country house
No neighbors for miles around
Lots of room to roam

NT: Esperanto (I told you it would be good. I don't know if I can do it, but try to write it in Esperanto. Need help? [URL removed by moderator]

Oh well, here goes!

Bonan matenon
Mi nomigxas Frizzychick
Gxis la revido!

Not sure about pronuinication so may be totally wrong syllablically.

Keep this topic for the next one.

I don't want to jump out of the challenge here too long. I'm too tired to translate right now, but I did want to say VALIANT EFFORT FRIZZYCHICK. Now that I've read it, I can't wait to understand it. I'm going to watch MST3K now and probably fall asleep on the couch. But first:

I really don't know
Esperanto that well, but
The babelfish does

NT: PASSING-OUT or ESPERANTO (you decide)

I know this language
from watching Red Dwarf, is that
frog in my bidet?

next: daydreams

George Clooney is here
He has taken his shirt off
He is my boyfriend

I think I'll stick with this subject for a while - you can do what you like

Here I sit at work
but in my mind I dwell where
the grass is most green.

next suggested topic: computer games

I sat there for days
Saved the world countless times as
It passed-by outside

Fantasy's fun and Reality bites.
Or is it the other way around?

NT: Reality

Reality, what
is that? I saw it once and
didn't like it much.

next: toenail clippings

, or

One can find these things
down the back of the settee
if anyone wants to

next: sheep

Hm, think that last line needs to lose a syllable.

Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa
Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa
Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa

Sorry, couldn't resist that one

Please let me know if you'd like me to add your name to the Challenge page as Haijin (That, according to the edited entry on Haiku is what you call Haiku authors) I won't be able to add everyone until I come back from holidays in a few days, but let me know if you'd like a link from the page!

Next: forgotten birthdays
