Okay, when Michael Dorsey couldn't get enough acting work to pay his rent he started living off of Dorothy Michaels' paycheck. The only problem -- Michael is Dorothy.
Let's all get our haiku writing gear on to honor a great Dustin Hoffman vehicle -- no, not Meet The Folkers, it's
Tootsie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084805/
Rules here in just a second.
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You may vote only once
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) to me.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 09JAN FWFR time - delayed by popular demand), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. I'll be loose on this, since I'm posting this so late. Sorry. 
And remember, when you cheat, you only cheat yourself.
I frankly don't know how you would cheat on this. But, the Mrs. Brady in me came out for a second there.  
EM :)

So, what do we do? I thought the rule was more 3-point votes wins. But, I could be remembering wrong.
I leave it to you guys to figure it out. 
And then, when you have fought to the finish,  the survivor should pick our next haiku topic.
EM :)
Well, I guess that's me then.
Any objections?
(And thanks!)

Yeh. Sorry, Whipper. You got a vote from almost everyone. And you came in second. But, I know that second is just the first of the losers to you.

Ladies, and Gentlemen dressed like Ladies,
Here are the somewhat confusing results for our Haiku #103.
There is a three-way tie for Second Place.
Yep. Three-way. Don't get any ideas, though.

Tied for 2nd Place are: BaftaBabe (3,3), Whipper (1,1,1,2,1) and me (1,3,2) with 6 points each.
That's the kind of crazy you spell with a K.
Congratulations to all. Now, please hand in your SAG cards, because you're through.

You both are excellent cross-dressers. But, of course, that is besides the point.
