Okay -- stop me if we've done this movie before. I didn't think I saw it.
Bet one for bad. And two for good.
It's Rain Man. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/
Here are the stolen rules from whomever wrote them to begin with.
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)HERE, to Me.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday JAN FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
Okay. PM me with your votes. PM me before then, if I have made a horrible mistake and chosen a movie we have already haikued.
Let the haikuing begin.

'And I remember, too, the day you left home...
so full of bitterness and grandiose ideas.
So full of yourself.
But you wanted to go write haikus.
And being raised without a mother, the hardness of your heart...
is understandable as well.
Yet, haikus were your calling.
I wish you all I ever wanted for you. I wish you the best.'
In third place -
'l hereby bequeath to my son, MguyX with 6 points (1,1,1,3) ...
that certain Buick convertible...
the very car that, unfortunately, brought our relationship to an end.

Tied in second place. I see a rosebush battle about to happen.
With outright title to my prizewinning hybrid rose bushes.
May they remind them of the value of excellence...
and the possibility of perfection.
Both with 7 points. It's Whip (3,1,3) and Rock (2,3,2)
As for my home and all other property, real and personal...
these shall be placed in trust in accordance with the terms of...
that certain instrument executed concurrently herewith.'
What does that mean?
It means that the estate, in excess of $3 million...
after expenses and taxes, will go into a trust fund...
for a beneficiary to be named in this document.
That beneficiary is . . . .
DARN IT ALL, I HAVE TO CHOOSE ANOTHER MOVIE.
With 10 points and a comped room in Vegas . . .
It's me.
(2,1,2,3,2)
And I'd just like to say . . . Kmart sucks!
K.
I'll choose another movie soon.
Thanks all. Definitely, thanks all.
EM :)

I had a whole bunch of problems at the polling station (damned Republicans!). But, eventually, I voted. |

Yeah, but do they still get the rose bushes?  |

Okay, I'm waiting on MguyX and Mister.
I PMed both. Should get votes soon. (Hoping).
Sorry. We had a lot of haikus and I didn't realize MguyX hadn't voted as well until just now.
So want to give him a little time to respond.
I had already nudged Mister. No response. But, I'll give him until MguyX responds and if I don't hear from him by then, it's 3 points off his score.
Sorry. But the world of haiku contests is a cut-throat existence.

They could end up in hot water over this.

If you didn't get 1st, 2nd or 3rd I've left you some rose bushes in my will instead.
