Holy moly, the entries for our Rifftrax Haiku Contest were impressive. I laughed out loud many times. Bravo, all!
Though many entries could have won, this double-feature written by poster penumbra takes the day (especially the first one):
- “Well-oiled manburgers
Soldiers of Laconia
Body hair your foe”
*****
“Zak Snyder knows that
Thermopylae is Latin
For ’sweaty hotpants’.”
Well done, penumbra! If you’re not too busy being an African-American theater company in St. Paul, MN., please claim the free Riffrax of your choice by emailing ERIK AT RIFFTRAX DOT COM.

Congrats, penumbra, for finding poetic virtue in oily characters.
You must have really greased the judge’s wheels.

As long as it wasn’t palms that were greased…
I hate that.
You can’t climb them that way.

Doesn’t “Well oiled manburgers” have six syllables?
Maybe I’m crazy. Still good though.

I don’t think so. Not unless you get all Elizabethan, and make “oiled” into two syllables.

Actually, here in the south it does: “oy-uhld.” I can’t think how to make it monosyllabic except to say it like “old.”

Thank you Bill! Crow T. Robot was always my favourite!!

Congrats! I have a visceral, goosebump-generating reaction to “manburgers”. I may not sleep for a week.

Well met, though being a Southerner myself, I am still wondering how many syllables there are in “oiled.”

(Well-oiled manburgers)
Thanks Riftrax…Yet another bad thought rattling around in my brain…Hope your happy!

According to this article, “oil” can have as many as three syllables if you are from Michigan: http://www.alphadictionary.com/blog/?p=137
But why that many in Michigan and not Minnesota? Oh wait, Bill Corbett is originally from somewhere more New England-y, isn’t he?
