Lowku

Life in 5,7,5

We at Thundersquee! can’t help but be indignant at the inequities of the poetic form when it comes to expressing the more low brow moments in life. So, to help even the field we offer you Lowku. The game and aim are simple. Twice a week we’ll display an image of one of life’s more “WTF?” moments, and your mission is to carefully select words that add up to 17 syllables and string them together in 5,7,5 form in order to describe said image or tell its story.

Each Monday and Wednesday the winners of the previous challenge will be announced and a new image will be posted to ignite the next round of genius.

Here are this round’s winners:

Well, that certainly brought out your inner geek.  In honor of this, I’m co-opting the Hugo Awards today and creating a Lowku category just for you guys.  So, here you are.  The Lowku Hugos go to:

Best Outing of Her Inner Geek: baby fish mouth

In:

Best moment today
Realizing I’m not sure
Who they’re dressed up as

Out:

No, fake Ewan, fake
Stewart. You cannot be to-
morrow’s Daily Bale.

Did anyone else notice how she pin-pointed which Star Wars character he was by his rat tail?

Best Dick Joke (because I like the idea of there being a Hugo Award for that): Chris Jones

The mother is proud,
his ’sabre reaches the ground
but he’ll ne’er use it

Most of the (wonderful) pedantic geekiness seemed to surround the “Red Shirt” concept, but one closet geek snuck in and showed them all up before the sci-fi melee even began.

Best Eye for Anachronisms: HolyChow

Next Gen Uniform,
On DS9 character?
Epic Fail, grandma.

But, when all was said and done, one tricksie hobbit got the ring to Mordor/Blew up the Death Star/Defeated the Borg/out geeked a geek who knows what “Midichlorians” are (and can probably hold forth about them at length).

Top of the Geek Class: TheHobo

The truth is out there
Turns out that ThunderSquee peeps
Are all sci-fi geeks.

RL:
Grandma has one pip
Therefore a low officer
at the very least

But TOS or
TNG, all sources say
Red shirts still die first.

And way more often
Than any other color.
I’ll keep my geek cred.

The scary thought is
I don’t think she knows
Which show she is from–

But I still think that
Her sagging breasts break Starfleet
Bra regulation.

Congrats to all and thanks for that.  They were all wonderful and enjoyable.  Here’s today’s fodder.
