100 Haikus
A while back, Cockeyed.com had a "Reader Appreciation Week" during which all emails that Rob received would get posted online. The All Too Flat crew decided to contribute 1,000 haiku to his collection. But do you have any idea how hard it is to write 1,000 haiku in under 2 hours (we started late in the week. Thank god for Pacific time!)? It's really hard. So we each took 33.33 haiku and gave him 100. You can read them here when you are really bored at work and/or law school.

Hope you enjoy!

It's paper mache
Not sure how the King would feel
But I was impressed

During a five-hour workday.

while waiting for some (late) friends.

How many of these
Do you think Rob will get through?

Blah blah blah bitch bitch bitch bitch.
That's how my girl sounds.

My phone is awesome.
Calls, email, wireless web,

The finest thing is
Aisle after sweet aisle
Of things that aren't Goya
