    W(ee)Z(ee) had enough
    Called Nem to put a stop
    His own thread flopped


    I hope I did it right..

This is a horrible idea now. People are now just posting corrections to other peoples haikus, when the correction dosent even match haiku criteria anyway.

    The thread is chaos.
    All semblence of control gone.
    Just sit back and watch.

    When a mod locks this,
    I bet he posts a haiku.
    It's just too tempting.

    EDIT:

    I look at the screen
    And realisation dawns:
    I've two thousand posts.

    ...and there was a cry,
    make haste, delete my topic...
    for I have been foiled.

    What am I to do?
    The first post has no content...
    Please, tell me the rules.

    In the test chamber...
    A terrible accident...
    I stubbed my big toe.

    Why is this thing here?
    A crowbar lies on the floor...
    It seems out of place.

    The man speaks strangely,
    offers me another job...
    Refusal means death.

    I'm truely alone.
    Persued by monsters and marines,
    I escape to Xen.

    In this vast abyss
    I hope to find redemption.
    What does it look like?

    Creativity
    should only stop when it has
    no further reason.

    Besides, some admins
    have had far too much practice
    speaking in haiku.

    I used a Barney
    I got him to follow me
    Then I crowbar'd him

    Otis, the fat guard
    He packs a desert eagle
    Much hurt from FF

    Headcrabs bother me
    They try to suck at my brain
    Mighty crowbar smack

    Gordon was a scientist
    at whacking headcrabs he was best
    While marines were dropping in
    on a grenade he pulled a pin
    and let god sort out the rest




    Haiku's can be fun
    They demand a strict measure
    Limericks are best

    Forum retarded,

    The guys in my hall
    Went to pub crawl without me
    B*****s B*****s B*****s argh.

    Now I write Haiku
    I should be drinking instead
    Ho hum, I hate life

    Friend just called me up
    Party at his hall, much beer
    Woot woot woot woot woot

    (true story, just happened in the last 10 minutes)

    Now i'm off for beer
    I will see you nubs later
    drunkeness awaits

    There once was a scientific lab
    Accessed by a monorail cab
    They opened a portal
    And let out a chortle
    Then they met a head crab

    Good job for posting a non-Hal-Life related haiku that you didn't even make up, from a movie we've all seen. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ahem.

    But why the crowbar?
    Black Mesa had the money
    For a lifting 'bot.

    Headcrabs want some love
    They are just hugging your face
    Hurts them more than you

    Half-Life 2's not out
    I'd kill myself but I can't
    'Cause then I can't play

    To the test chamber!
    We're testing a new thingie
    Should be lots of fun

    I live right near Valve
    I should just walk over there
    And grab me some Source

    I'm in Source beta
    Unfortunately, CS
    I found a bug though

    The Fade approaches
    I ready my shotgun for it
    My toaster combusts

    Speakers blast the beat
    Testing my endurance and speed
    Don't miss the arrows!

    Teacher nears my desk
    Time spent playing now haunts me
    Fire drill rescues.

    I am going to
    Probably play ESF
    Or maybe NS

    Talesin may be three,
    But once, a forumite said
    Tailspin. That is two.

    There once was a man with a suit
    It made hazardous areas moot
    He swung a mean crowbar
    At aliens here and thar
    And killed their leader to boot!
