Topic: Making Lemons from Lemonade, Haiku contest.

We have a winner!    A panel of esteemed judges ( me and a couple of guys)  has chosen this entry:

Lightning bolt sticker,
But the kill switch was wired wrong.
Let's roast marshmallows!

     By GoPro Tim.       Tim wins the adulation of his peers and a pass to the front of the tech line.

   Congrats!


To help defuse the tensions over the whole Kill Switch conundrum.. I have taken it into my own hands to start a contest wherein those with much to say, can say it in a more concise manner.   The winner gets the adulation of their peers and a 'Go to the front of the tech line' pass issued by me..  It'll certainly be honored at a race where I do tech and most likely be honored at a race where someone else does tech...

  You have to Post a Haiku here and it will be judged by your peers.. Oh, on that: listen up peers, I need a panel of three judges who have time to waste... I'm thinking maybe  Dr Wife, Judge Sam and Me...    That's just an idea.  Maybe Speedy, Spank and Mulry?   I'll figure that part out. 

  Your Haiku must be somehow LeMons related, bonus points for Kill Switch related..      You have until Midnight on March 19th to do your best, multiple entries allowed, only one per post though. 

  Winner announced on the 21st...

   Ok, ready? go.

Typing takes as much
time as just moving the switch.
It's more fun to bitch.

John, I'd be glad to help. I'd suggest limiting each entrant to one entry. Let them pick which one they want to enter just so we don't have one person dominating the entry field. Cough, Kornfeld, cough. smile
