Planner Haiku

[Maister]

For those who may not know, Haiku is an ancient Japanese form of poetry consisting of 3 lines the first line having 5 syallables, the second with 7 syllables and the third having 5 syllables. "Haiku" translates as 'amusing sentence'. Here for your viewing pleasure are two planning related Haikus:

Twenty minute drive.
Convenient shopping, parking
Exit fifteen. Sprawl.

Barbed wire surrounds me.
My gated community.
at least they aren't here.
:-D :-D :-D :-D

It is down right spooky (a la Dame Edna) that a newby proposed a planning haiku thread. I'm not sure it isn't a little disconcerting.

Boiker - ROTFLMAO.

Yes, if you Google "all your base" you get some funny stuff. I recall Nerudite posted a link on Cyburbia to the original Japanese video game introduction which spawned the phenomenon

Speaking of Engrish....One of my favorite places to eat in Okinawa was named "The Supper Lung"

It's from a lame-o home video game from a Japenese manufacturer. There is a whole beginning intro on the video game that has some really bad Engrish. Here is the whole text, malappropriated by a parody of a Jack Chick religious tract:
