Carefully raise child

Build pool, get in, remove ladder

Will Wright kills again

Follow his commands

Peaceful settings hide monsters

Olimar: small god

Where were you that day?

Your alibi is air tight?

Objection! You lie!

Tree stumps fill the land

Crushed flower; rotten turnip

Truly a wild world

Simple happening

With a crazy bizarre twist

Help! Agents are go.

Animal Crossing Pioneer.  These are the haiku Al and I used to win early copies of Animal Crossing back in 2002.

Josh:

Twenty-four seven

Thee six five (or six) per year

Animal Crossing

If can't Pioneer,

Mario would stay in Cube;

Legs would atrophy!

Alex:

Night and Day system

It sounds promising to me

Acting as if real

And when connected

To my small Game Boy Advance

Possibilities!

An old text file dated April 3, 2002.  Note the single 5-syllable line in the middle that didn't grow into a full haiku, but I leave here for historical accuracy:

It's a theory.

Derive, backwards, integrate

It's fundamental.

Can't imagine it

Square root of negative one

But it seems to work

Side over sine same?

Two pi radius

Pi, radius: a great team.

Pi radius squared

Four times pi r squared

Pi, radius: In 3D!

Four thirds pi r cubed

First haiku to my GameCube controller, Thursday, October 4, 2001:

Over here, baby

You've such beautiful shoulders

Let me feel you up

MST3K

Arisen like Lazarus

Then bitch-slapped back down

8/23/2001, early morn.  Space World pre-show.  This is a haiku about the reaction of many people.  Rated M.

Crowded IRC

Praying for new media

THAT'S Zelda!?! The fuck!
