    Nah (pending Rodvik's final word, of course. It's his contest.). Most people pronounce "lol" as if it were a one syllable word like the word, "loll". I think it's good to go. After all, you don't pronounce "sonar" as "sound navigation and ranging"--you just say, "sonar" or "light amplification by stimulated emissions of radiation"--you just say "laser". I think if you wanted to go with 3 syllables, you'd spell it "l.o.l." or just type "laugh out loud".

    Acronyms are swell.
    Shortening speech by the use
    of nomenclature.

    Very good point

    I was going to argue that LOL isn't a dictionary defined word and both laser and sonar are...but it is. The world is a sad place when internet slang is in the dictionary.

    Awww man I haven't done haikus since way back in high school, loving all the great entries :9. I'll take a shot at it

    We charge into hell
    Comrades fall all around me,
    Engie, where you at?


    When starting a fight
    rush, the unexpecting guy.
    Then quit the game, bye.

    Sadly, but truly, time marches ever onward. "Lol" now has a place in the sun, while perfectly good words like "peradventure" and "fardel" languish, underworked and unpaid.

    A haiku bit my
    brother once. More reason to
    torture them. Get hot.

    C'mon, guys! More haikus!

    Sorry it took so long to respond, but since I didn't predefine this ordeal in the rules, words such as "lol" will be accepted as one syllable. It would be unfair at this point to make entrees go back and change their submissions. It also depends how you pronounce the word. Some say "lawl" 1 syllable and some say "El-Oh-El", in the dictionary, sadly, they refer to the word as "el-oh-el" 3 syllables. I suppose we can base internet chat terminology based on how we would pronounce it. For example, "omg", if we were all to see this we would all say "Oh My God" 3 syllables. I can't even pronounce "omg" in 1 syllable, it just sounds funny. For future contests I will be sure to make it clear that if you use internet terminology we will be going by Dictionary pronunciation.

    Oh how society has changed in the last few years and internet terms are actually defined in an English Dictionary...lol

    On Halloween day,
    I fear a vular mother,
    Avenges her imps death.

    Commando killed vular,
    He danced in triumph all day,
    Halloween killed commando.

    Here's my entry-

    Terrifying screams
    Marching throughout Numa Prime
    A sweet song of death.


    Sir Jack, so orange.
    Creeps towards you and whispers,
    Want some pumpkin soup?
