  1. Jon says:

    Umm… too many syllables

    • CheezburgerFanatic says:

      Yep. Haikus have 5 syllables in the 1st and 3rd sentences and 7 in the 2nd sentence (for those of you who don’t know what haikus are), but this one has 5 syllables in sentence 1, 6 in sentence 2, and 10 in the 3rd.

      Next time, whoever labeled this as a haiku, get your facts right, or I will put a curse on you which’ll cause you to speak Engrish forever!!! MWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

      • Paws4thot says:

        Well, the site admin claims to be Asian American. OTOH that was my first reaction too; this isn’t even close to scanning as a haiku!

      • Dr. Haiku says:

        yeah but that’s academic definition of Haiku, if you glance over the real world repertoire of Haiku’s you’ll see there’s many exceptions to the rule by many great poets.

        And come on, it’s just a tongue in cheek reference…

        • Paws4thot says:

          The repertoire of Haiku’s what? And who is this performer/writer Haiku anyway?

          More seriously, most haiku I’ve seen that break the rules tend to have one or 2 excess syllables over the 3 lines, not one short in the second and 4 excess in the 3rd.

          Basically, I’m a bit fed up with people who try and claim anything that’s even vaguely verse in nature and has 3 lines to be a haiku!

    Wait, you want me to use myself?

  3. Droll not Troll says:

    Who’s your baggie?

  4. KinkyTom says:

    I’m a human being not a bag D:<

  5. bluejade says:

    How can I resist such an attractive directive?

  6. saywhat says:

    I use. I surely use. Just not often enough.

  7. ShadowSplicer says:

    ?!!?!?!?

  8. Morgan423 says:

    I’ll be the bag only on one condition: that they don’t use me to transport strange-taste horsebeans.

  9. dr handle says:

    So, you call me a bag, and you say I’m easy. Yeah, you sure know how to sweet talk a girl. *sniff*

    • ShadowSplicer says:

      Hey, I never said that!… I said that you were ‘sleazy’…

      • Paws4thot says:

        And you know what they say; “Nice and sleazy does it every time”! :twisted:

        • ShadowSplicer says:

          Unless that ho-ho-ho is actually a cop, then… not so much.

          • Paws4thot says:

            Where did I say I was offering to pay cash for it? Which poses a moral question. Why is it that if I take a girl out for a $200 dinner, then spend the night with her, that’s legal, but if we share a pizza, spend the night, and I give her $200 in the morning, that’s illegal?

            • Klara says:

              Why would you share a pizza with a wh0re???

              • Paws4thot says:

                The woman has to eat something, some time, too. I just picked something that was cheap enough to be “regular food”.

                I might do better to cook myself though.

                Anyway, let’s get back to our sheep – I was trying to make the 2 nights as analogous as possible in terms of what we did together, and how much money I spent on the night. that way, the only real difference was where the $200 ended up.

                • Klara says:

                  Exactly the difference is where the money ends up.
                  In the second example you’re abusing the situation a person is in (Poor/money addiction/…).

                  A nice dinner won’t solve poverty or a money addiction, it will only solve hunger. And I don’t think anyone would whore himself/herself for a taco.

                  What do people like about fancy dinners anyway?

                  • Paws4thot says:

                    If you can make a grand a week, you’re not that poor.

                  • Paws4thot says:

                    Racking up the cash a bit, there was an article in a British paper asking why a “nice girl was sleeping with men for £1200 a night”; I can’t help thinking that the clue was in the question, since 2 nights a month would give her an above average income. Oh and she is not being physically abused, or a drug addict.

                    • bluejade says:

                      There is an emotional aspect to sex which is difficult to explain or quantify. In my experience, women tend to bond emotionally to those they have sex with, men not necessarily so. It may not make sense for the woman to do this, but it tends to happen. Hormonal effects can not be turned off and on at will. When women have sex for payment vs emotional fulfillment, it can damage them psychologically. I think this is partly responsible for the high rate of drug abuse among sex workers.
                      This is just my observation. I would appreciate hearing from a professional on this.

                      • Paws4thot says:

                        I’d agree with you, if you preface each occurence of “woman” or “women” with “most”.

                        • bluejade says:

                          I’m not even secure with using the word “most.” I used “tend” and “can.” I am only basing these comments on observation, I have no data to back it up.

                  • lexan D says:

                    Money addiction? Lol, that would be a fun line to use with the utility co., the mortgage bank, the phone co….

              • bluejade says:

                I would share a pizza with a whore for the same reason I would share a pizza with anyone else; for the the pleasure of their company and human companionship. Sharing food is a very basic form of human connection.

      • lexan D says:

        No, no, I thought I heard you say wheezy :P

  10. SJP says:

    …And don’t be the of calling me Surely.

    (from “Airprane!”)

  11. Jim says:

    I am the bag!

  12. says:

    Don’t call me a bag!
