This can be a thread where you can all post your Amazon Haikus. I know you've all been writing them - so here is where you can put them for all to see.

Here's one of mine...

amazon's crazy
changing prices testing site
losing customers

Trigger 09-12-00 09:54 AM

don't be shy - here's another one:


amazon disease
birds flying through the trees-
my hairy sack

stevevt 09-12-00 11:30 AM

An hour on hold...
"Amazon, can I help you?"
"Order specialist?"

"Please hold." (Another hour)
"Your order has been cancelled."
"Um. Um. Um. Um. Thanks?"

weargle 09-12-00 01:45 PM

Waah waah waah waah waah,
Waah waah waah waah waah waah waah,
Waah waah waah waah waah!

Chill out everyone
Give Amazon a whirl
We all make mistakes

=====
Considering all the B.S. I have gone through with the other online retailers, this is nothing. This is not like waiting 2-3 months for some other retailers to ship items, not like getting the wrong DVD wnd having to go through the hassle of returning it. Just make your order, if they honour it, great! If not, oh well .

Trigger 09-12-00 09:25 PM

Chilling out does not help to understand the chi

More Haikus please

long hold times
for support I should not need
is this a bargain?

LBPound 09-12-00 10:57 PM

amazon is good
they will still gets my business
long live amazon

What's the proper format for a Haiku?

Sleeper 09-13-00 12:09 AM

amazon dot come here
and step on my soft soft head
squish hard, crush my Jaws

------------------
Sleeper - dreaming life away -

Trigger 09-13-00 12:39 AM

Proper Haiku Format is this...

A poem that doesn't have to rhyme...
first line 5 syllables
second line 7 syllables
third line 5 syllables

This does not HAVE to be the case - in english it is a bit harder to get the syllables exactly than it is in chinese. You could have a 4, 7, 3 if you want...

It's all about understanding the chi.

the first two lines should be one statement
the last line should be related.

Just let the chi flow through you.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Fix the price from greed?
Preorders will go elsewhere
The giant must die

This is dedicated to some of you:

Hear me weep and moan
Did not get Jet Li box set
I'll spend days bitching


Hoc 09-13-00 06:18 AM

Amazon prices
So low, so intentional,
So sorry.

Fhrx 09-13-00 07:17 AM

I'm not all that happy with Amazon at the mo, lets just leave it at that.

Trigger 09-13-00 11:23 AM

Most foul Amazon

Naked cheerleaders

Blind to the truth

Brown Nose shows real truth


stevevt 09-13-00 12:00 PM

Lies, mistakes, duplicity.
Got a spare GC?
