Low-ku

by sj

A week or so ago, Heather and I were talking about how she’d received a ton of hits on her blog after mentioning the Gojo Hands-Free set.  I didn’t even know what she was talking about for a while because I’d yet to see the really ridiculous commercial, but somehow it led to the following challenge.

Okay, here’s your post. A haiku challenge. Gojo handset has to be in one of the haikus, and you can take requests for others. Ask people for their weird search terms that they get hits from, then put them in haiku.

She may not have come right out and said it, but this is basically a dare.  HOW DARE SHE DARE ME?!

This is why I asked you all for your best/weirdest search terms the other day.  They’re going to be haikuified!  Shut up, I can make words up if I want, it’s my blog.  I’m pretty sure she doesn’t think I can do it, but I’ll prove her wrong.

Challenge accepted
Mrs Becoming Cliche
We’ll see who laughs last!

Since I don’t want this post to get too tedious, I’m going to space them out a little.  I’ll work with five search terms this week, then do more on a semiregular basis.  As this is Heather’s challenge, I’ll start with hers.

Search Term:  Gojo hands-free handset

gojo hands free set
unnecessary product
with a stupid name

BUT WAIT! There is more!
it can hold up a laptop
I think I need this.

I wish I was kidding.

Search Term:  Santa Pooping Down Chimney

Santa visited.
No candy or toys for us.
Just poop in the fire.

That of course has to be followed up with one submitted by Michael Cargill.

Search Term:  Hitler North Pole

Santa arrested
for public defecation.
Hitler saves Christmas?!

Meg has been wanting to mess around with this term since he mentioned it a few weeks ago. I'm thrilled she finally had the chance.

Hmmm, we’re currently on a Christmas kick so I’ll take one suggested by Green Geek Girl over at Insatiable Booksluts.

Search Term:  I hate xmas cats

I hate X-mas cats
with their tinsel-y whiskers
and silly cat hats

Actually, I think this cat hates *you.*

And finally (for this time), we have one from Tenneseean Historian Blogger at Surrounded by Imbeciles.

Search Term:  What happened to Axl Rose in Nashville

Nashville, it’s your fault.
What happened to Axl?  He
was fine when he left.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, that’s enough for now.  I’ll do more soon (it’s actually a lot of fun), but I don’t want you to get sick of my crappy pseudo-poetry too soon.  Please try not to be too sad if you didn’t see yours here today.  I promise I will get to more of them.  Keep those search terms coming, I’ll work them in as I can!

  1. It was not just a dare, it was a double-dog dare. And you did beautifully.

  2. These rocked my socks off!! Now my feet are cold…

  3. Santa pooping down chimney? People are so nasty. I hope it was a giggly 8-year-old who typed that search term. Nice haiku by the way. I am forever scarred by some of the searches people used to find my blog. I’ll spare you. Ugh. Pervs.

    • What? Your blog is so G-rated! I had one yesterday that is probably the strangest yet – I have to assume it was a young boy (due to the *ahem* information they were searching for). The worst part for me was how poorly the words in the term were spelled.

  4. OK, dear essjay, here are some of the more amusing search terms that led to my blog:

    Parasite comics

    hairy über 70 (wtf is that?)

    whale books

    Go, eagle, go!

  5. That is fantastic. Maybe it’s my ego speaking but that Hitler North Pole one picture is the best…!

    Will Ferrell and Legolas in cahoots with a dictator? Tut-tut.

  6. This looked like a ton of fun. I might try to make some with my search terms. I also have fun making up funny headlines for ridiculous news stories.

  7. It looks like it must
    hurt to have a five pound lap-
    top strapped to your head.

  8. Your blog is so insightful
    Your mind quite delightful
    Your posts vary from topic to topic
    Across the words my eyes frolic
    This poem, not like yours, not the same
    To be quite honest, its getting pretty lame
    But thinking real hard, wasn’t sure what else to do
    I can’t really help myself, I just hate writing Haiku

  9. Search Term: im tied up in my panties

    Ugly G-string knot.
    Right foot? Left? I wasn’t sure.
    Crap! This really sucks!

  10. my strangest ones are:

    transman and mother
    and
    “drag king hipster”

  11. Search terms that have lead to my blog for many unknown reasons:

    - 100000000 babys born in one stummick
    - binge drinking mother

    and the most common….
    - Sex

    I would just like to state, my blog is really not so weird LOL

  12. I love the idea of haikuifying these – I am always amazed by search terms that bring me people – I actually posted about this a while back, but I wasn’t clever enough to think of the haiku. Dammit.

    This is by far the most bizarre search term. I think I might have a reference to pottyi training a St. Bernard, but this as close as I’ll admit to. Copied and pasted in all its horrifying glory: potty “pullups” poo or poop or poops or pooped or poopy or poopie or poopies or poopoo or pooping or poopin or pooing or bm or stinky or messy or dirty or soiled or crap or dump or mess or bowel or bowels or nasty -yahoo -forum -forums

    Since I’m pretty sure that is unhaikulfiable, here are my other favorites: “gangsta sweater “and “naughtiness scorecard” (mostly because what I have is so NOT what they were looking for, and I have disappointed a surprising number of people)

  13. You are bringing haiku back. And I never get tired of the elf pictures, even if you did not do them.
