No one will get their nose out of joint will they? The problem was that there were too many good haiku. Bravo FB for the choice of phote!<br /><br />BTW Anon - technically 'feat' is one syllable. There is a Spanish make of car, the 'Seat' (pronounced 'seh-at'), that would qualify as two and, funnily enough, drop precisely into your effort here and make a brilliant <i>haiku advertisement</i>.<br /><br />But we won't do that because, a) we sneer at advertising scum tempting us to sell out for money and, b) since there's no money nor anyone tempting us with it anyway, we may as well sneer since it's more fun than cursing God. If that makes any sense.<br /><br />Anyway, nice effort boys and girls, bravo.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356283281909852148.post-1496551038990327722010-08-30T13:47:49.496+10:002010-08-30T13:47:49.496+10:00Won der ful pic ture

Anyone remember when automation was going to create the leisure society, how did we fall for that one? Work was banned except for the lucky few with work permits. A group of guys had a huge diesel engine in a lock up garage which they stripped down, rebuilt, fired up and then repeated the process until they eventually ran out of fuel. They had to be careful; the penalties for getting caught were severe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356283281909852148.post-68783240264764278372010-08-24T01:52:31.703+10:002010-08-24T01:52:31.703+10:00steel and man intwine
