Title: The "eff Valentine's day, I won while you were f#@$ing" raffle.
Post by: nullity on February 14, 2014, 02:38:43 PM
So, many of us are out watching chick flicks with our lady friends or wives, and others of us are already making sweet sweet non-obey.  Myself, I just satisfied the entire Swedish bikini team... so I'm going to take pity on those of you less fortunate than I.  Someone will win a mystery obey prize that isn't a game 

If you're reading this and it is still Valentine's day, you qualify.

The rules are simple:

if your post appears after this one, and you are the first one to use the following three words in a coherent haiku... you win.

1. Allegiance
2. Taco
3. Obey

I didn't say it would be easy, only that the rules were simple.

GO!

I pledge allegiance
To a meat taco that talks
I hear and obey

Isn't "allegiance" technically 4 sylabils?

How the heck do you pronounce it so that it has 4 syllables??

You can't.. it is 3 syllables: al-le-giance

I'll cut galam some slack. Just think for a moment about how the English pronounce aluminum, then consider that the NE USA is called New England. Coincidence? I think not.

Well aluminum has 4 syllables so I am not really quite sure of the argument.. any way you say it/slice it allegiance is 3 syllables. Maybe I am too dense to get your previous post :D

The British pronounce it with five syllables:

Edit: it's a different spelling though also lol

It's aluminium in other countries.

edit: beat me to it by milliseconds!

I do believe its 4

A-LE-GI-ANCE

Now I know that sounds silly, but American lexicon has certainly "sped" up words over time.
Doesn't a syllable technically count as a pronounced vowel?
I could certainly be wrong.

Eff the rules. Appreciate the beauty of these poems. Who cares about the rules? Haiku? More like fuhku.
