The Demon-Spawned Contest of Epic Proportions

[Jason Tandro]

You can win 200 Gems! All you have to do is this:

1. Write a haiku about how you will spend the gems.
2. Write the same haiku again, but convert it to Al Bhed.
3. Choose one word from that haiku and give me the Webster's Dictionary definition of it. (You can copy/paste from Dictionary.com if you wish)
4. Choose a word from the Dictionary Definition and write a haiku about that.
5. Convert that haiku to Al Bhed.
6. Sign your name in Al Bhed and post a picture of your avatar with the colors inverted.


Why am I doing this. Simple. It will amuse me.

By, the by, anybody who does this will win 200 Gems.

Haiku = a three-line poem of oriental descent.

This is a display
of how haikus are written
five seven and five.

5 syllables in the first line.
7 in the second.
5 in the third.



Al Bhed is the cryptoquote language from Final Fantasy X. There are online translaters:

example:

Sorry = Cunno

Where S = C, O=U, R=N, Y=O. There's more like that, but you can find the whole syllabary online somewhere.


And finally, I am drunk on raw power.

Sounds fun,

1) my haiku

How would I spend gems?
I will use my gems to buy
Oh crap it wont fit

2) Al Bhed

Ruf fuimt E cbaht kasc?
E femm ica so kasc du pio
Ur lnyb ed fuhd ved

3) Crap
Noun
1. Obscene terms for feces.
2. A ludicrously false statement.
Verb

4) Haiku 2

The dictionary had this word,
It amused me so to find it,
I really must grow up

5) Al Bhed

Dra teldeuhyno ryt drec funt,
Ed ysicat sa cu du veht ed,
E naymmo sicd knuf ib

6) My name: kyjeh (wtf)

To both competitors thus far. Haikus are 5-7-5 SYLLABLES not WORDS. But I'll count them.
