Your Hometown in Haiku

[Capn Flukie]

I'll start us off...

Oh, Schenectady
Used to Light and Haul The World
Electric crackheads

In case anyone's forgotten; 5-7-5

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ You're from Jonathan Archer's hometown!

Omaha's not flat
The College World Series
counts for something...right?

 

[Canadave]

Peterborough, ON
Home of world's tallest liftlock
Better than nothing

 

[kes7]

I submit mine as a riddle

Valley of flowers
Almost launched the space shuttle
Where did Kes grow up?

 

[Amaris]

Here's mine:

Middletown, haze blue,
Steel mill getting old and cold,
Empty downtown square.

 

[Capn Flukie]

^ You're from Jonathan Archer's hometown!

Ah, I see my propaganda is still alive and well! Excellent!

 

[nevermore]

Baltimore is not
The Wire or The Corner.
It's Charm City, Hon!

 

[auntiehill]

A paved-over swamp.
Could a town be more fugly?
And the football sucks.


That should be easy to guess.

 

[nevermore]

^DC?

 

[Finn]

^That would be....

Fenty Out
Gray days ahead
Same old Shit

 

[Capn Flukie]

Baltimore is not
The Wire or The Corner.
It's Charm City, Hon!

Meat Week! Meat Week! Om
Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
nom nom nom nom nom...

 

[RoJoHen]

Acres of corn fields.
One-lane bridge: a shortcut to
the bowling alley!

Doesn't my town sound exciting?

 

[nevermore]

Baltimore is not
The Wire or The Corner.
It's Charm City, Hon!

Meat Week! Meat Week! Om
Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
nom nom nom nom nom...

Thanks, now I have something for next year's Hype Week poster.

 

[thestrangequark]

Mine's a riddle too, though, admittedly, not very difficult.

Wheedle in the sky,
Basking in the pouring rain.
May this be love? Nah.

 

[auntiehill]

^DC?

Not even close. DC would be a step UP.

 

[RoJoHen]

New Orleans?

 

[auntiehill]

Close---in more ways than one. But New Orleans actually has a decent football team, most of the time.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

The biggest city
no one's ever heard of. We
make your computers.

 

[auntiehill]

San Jose?

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Vulcan Princess--Rio Rancho, New Mexico?

(Going to guess according to where Intel is...)
