My friends, remember the good old days on Archinect where our beloved haiku thread grew to an incredible length?
We need a new one here, and this is it. I won't be satisfied until virtually ever topic known to man has been covered in eloquent 5-7-5 format. Yah, that's right, I expect to see no less than 825 replies by 5: p.m. Friday September 23.
Just as a reminder, some of the more popular topics in the world today that you may write a haiku about include:
Sex, money, cars, landscaping, working, comedy, Internets, hurricanes, Bush hating, John Roberts, painting, office pranks, motorcycle wheelies that seem to last forever, problems sending email, portfilios, moronic professors, porcupines, and silk panties.
Let the games begin!

blood-sucking leeches
have invaded my nostrils
at first it tickles
but then I'm in shock
I feel them crawling higher
I start to feel sick
they're at the door now
seeking entry to my brain
cannot hold them off
suddenly it starts
I feel a warm liquid flow
as my eyes squint shut
it passes my lips
as my tongue investigates
fears are realized
the leeches have found
an artery to call home
and I am helpless
under their control
my nervous system reacts
I am now in shock
blood pressure races
it won't be much longer now
cannot hold them off
frontal lobe cries out
I am fading, fading fast
I am, I am, dead

"What's the latest craze?"
your mom said, curious like,
as dinner was served.
"Can't really say, mom."
"But we do use clean needles,"
you said with a grin.
"Homemade tats? No!"
she screamed, slamming a plate down.
"What's wrong with you son?"
"Uh, no, that's not right,"
you said, confused as ever.
"We're shooting up crack."
