I just don't get it.

 

I mean, I understand what a haiku is, but it seems like the pet rock of literature.

 

What's the point?

Ancient tradition

From a time when you were not

Lol no

 

I was part of bbmb as far back as 2003 and they did it every phin game then too.

 

I don't understand why it's a tradition. Has nothing to do with anything as far as I know.

A Haiku presents a creative challenge: to fit a certain thought into a strict syllabic structure. It's literally the opposite of having a pet rock, which requires no creativity or skill. In other words:

 

Creative challenge

Thoughts in seven syllables

Pet rocks: trivial

Not that creative

It's just counting syllables

Bless me Mafia brethern for I have sinned...

Thought about in May, set aside money in June and bought two tickets for this game last July...excited-hopeful

Tried to make it work in Sept and Oct but for various reasons sold them in Nov for a profit - tried-frustrated

Took the money and bought tires for my SUV in Dec for that personal Xmas thingy and a trip to NYC-MSG-Phish - the rebound

Now that its Jan I stand by the decision, next season I will double down for that missed road trip, or maybe a home playoff game this season - sobering regret

I ask for your forgiveness amidst the temporal punishment of your deserved flaming...being a sadist-masochist comes with decades of being a Bills fan

 

However-whatever I will not turn in my tear-beer stained membership card....hoping for the best ...expecting the worst...cuz thats what life as Bills fan is with 95% probability to make the playoffs..its the 5% percent that is so Billsy
