the NEW haiku slugfest -- now with more refs

the sporting commission has called to inform me that, at the end of any round that's even remotely related to boxing, it's mandatory to have a woman in a bathing suit holding a number.

i honestly had forgotten about that.

but fear not the fines for impropriety.

just in time we have sarah. you have to admit, she looks great in a gold lame bikini, a number in her hands and pink and black striped high heels on her feet (then again, who doesn't?); but don't let that appearance steer you from the fact that she's the genius behind officegirlhaiku. a take-no-prisoners force in the online-haiku world.

when she's not digitizing and swishing for us, she too will be providing judgment, scholarship and commentary over the occasion.

and a special note for you dear reader(s) in the audience: please, please do not feel as though you have to use any special language just because we now have a lady with us. remember, she's an office girl, she's seen worse.

all hail sarah.
