Annie Hall
Wacky Woody and Demure Diane brought quirkiness to the Oscar stage for Best Picture in 1977. Well la-di-dah!
The Rules
- The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
- The second line of a haiku poem has seven syllables.
- The third, and final, line of a haiku poem 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. 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 MHC. The voting is as follows:
3 pts Stalean
2 pts Conan
1 pt Benj (Gotta get a jab in here at Benj on account he confessed that haikus aren't his thing. Stay tuned for "movie limericks.")
not
1) AC
2) GHcool
3) thefoxboy
As I will not know if AC gets 1 vote or AC is your favourite for 3 votes.
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending the currently designated Haiku Meister your votes in a PM (Private Message) here to me at this PM address because I am Borg.
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
*After winners are announced, the floor is open for posting of alternate Movie Haikus under that topic heading.
The winner then gets to make an acceptance speech, and choose the movie for the next MHC contest. The winner will post the new movie as a new topic under Movie Haikus in this format:

Woody, neurotic;
and here's where Walken first gave
that mute, psycho gaze. |

Real love may die but
When you write your own ending
Hall's well that ends well.

Annie's impressed when
Singer hits McLuhan's notes,
But they're not in tune.

Dissolves a cocaine party

Hello. I'm MguyX of the Law Firm of MguyX and Associates. Have you ever relied on something, like the constancy of time, only to have it mercilessly ripped from beneath you, thereby incurring permanent to semi-permanent injury? If so, call our offices today. Operators are standing by.
I'm not just the Head Guy at the Law Firm of MguyX and Associates: I'm also a client.
(Voted anyway just in case this whole lawsuit thing doesn't result in any money.) |

Thanks for that, but when I tested that one out it comes up with an error message, no matter whose ID# I enter. Spookily enough, though, if you choose the person's own page and click Message User on the left, that works -- even though the PM url is the same in the status box. I'm guessing there's a glitch on the server side. Also, bear in mind benj can customize the 4UM but he didn't write the code.
Anyone else getting this error?
