Where in the World is Lantz - Lantzing, Michigan

The Magnet Pro is back!  Once again, we have Lantz in all his splendor:

Lantz ses: Her name is Marianna, and we're very happy together

I don't know about you guys, but I am still stoked about people we've never met allowing us to post pictures of themselves.  ~I'm totally stoked about this series too for some reason, but we need to be careful;  man-lamp love is illegal in most countries.

With that out of the way, its time for the results of the House of Paincakes Super Bad-ass Haiku Contest and Not-at-all Shameful Grab for Filler Content.

We got a ton of entries into this thing, lots of self promotion and even a full blown poetry fight!  Crazy as it sounds, some of you people used poetry for evil.  I'd try and shame you all if I could stop bursting into laughter whenever I look at the entries to get your names!

According to the contest rules, the HoP admins are allowed to designate another agent to be the judge. So, without notifying him beforehand, Captain Kellen became an agent of HoP due to his constant thread stalking and his staunch refusal to stray from haiku.  ~i.e. we volunteered him for the position.

Before I get to the winner, I would like to give special mention to Zheilt for writing a limerick and then apologizing in haiku format.  Additional mention goes to Chaos Gerbil for his prolificity and to Loquacious for nailing the spirit of haiku the best.

In the spirit, as it were, of things I wrote a haiku about all the haikus that we got.

so many haikus

melted my brain with poems

third line is profound

But the winner, as picked by Captain Kellen is:

Dave from N++!

Congrats, Dave!   Until the next poetry contest and your inevitable defeat, you are the official Poet Laureate of the House of Paincakes.  WOOOOOOOO.

~and that concludes another issue of 'Where in the World is Lantz.'  Special thanks to everyone who contributed poetry and congrats to Dave, the Maya Angelou of paincake haikus.  As a special bonus prize (in case internet fame were not prize enough), we're going to let Dave make up a contest for next week's Lantz related insanity. Until then...
