I win, you win

[Mschmidt]

If the prizes go in my direction. I am too lazy to forward them out. So... That would be a dead end.

Good point, I'll likely have a new baby by then.


I'll forward them if I remember through my sleepless brain.

 

[Mschmidt]

Well played

 

[Mschmidt]

;) I don't need the swag or an ATO but I'll contribute to the cause

I don't need the available lense filters because of your generosity.

Don’t fall for this - it’s a sophisticated Man-In-The-Middle attack! It’s a strategy to win the prices and keep them to himself!

But if I somehow win, than I too will pass it over, because it’s Passover. Happy Holidays :)

Not sure "sophisticated" has ever been associated with me though...

Happy passover.

 

[Red_Beard]

Posting up for the cause! (don't let me win stuff though, my bases there are covered)

I really like the orphek kit better. If you win maybe keep it and pass the others on to someone else?

 

[BristleWormHater]

I'm in, just make sure Tim doesn't find this thread, he'll find a way to win everything.

 

[KrisReef]

I will join this. And if I lose the main but win here, then I too will pass on the prize!

My criteria for winning:
Write a whimsical haiku about keeping a reef tank. Funniest one wins
Go

5) Next spring when my tank
7) crashes I will not weep much
5) cause I won free crap

Blue light shimmering
As the ocean's magic beckons
I'm bad with money

Flex, I don’t mean to
My reef, underwater rave
Hypnotic, bright, Flex

My acropora
Brings all the boys to the yard
Not quite a milkshake

Well the poetry here is starting to remind me of the Photo of the Month contests where the rules of the game are not well defined, ime. SO I provide here the AI version of Haiku Rules that may help demonstrate how come I should be the winner.

AI Overview

Haiku are typically written with a three-line structure, totaling 17 syllables: 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third. While there's no strict rhyme, a traditional haiku often includes a "cutting word" (kireji). Additionally, a kigo, or seasonal reference, is common.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Three Lines: The haiku form consists of three lines.
  
  
• 17 Syllables: The total number of syllables across all three lines is 17.
  
  
• Syllable Count:
  • Line 1: 5 syllables.
    
    
  • Line 2: 7 syllables.
    
    
  • • Line 3: 5 syllables.
      
• • No Rhyme: Haiku typically do not follow a rhyme scheme.
    
  • Kireji (Cutting Word): A kireji is a word or phrase that marks a transition or a shift in meaning, often placed at the end of the poem.
    
  • Kigo (Seasonal Reference): A kigo is a word or phrase that indicates a specific season.
    
  • Focus on Nature: Haiku often explore nature, but can also touch on other themes.
    
  • Imagery: Haiku tend to present vivid images or a single moment in time, according to the Poetry Foundation.

I’m not down with this. . Being one of the oldest members on this site and still not owning any r2r gear and I need a new top off haha! I’ve never won anything off this page.

Throwing down to the pros of the pros:

Corals blaze with light,
My reef sings in vibrant hues—
Theirs just waves goodnight.

And a limerick for Kris:
There once was a reef, bold and bright,
Its colors a dazzling sight.
Others look kind of gray,
Mine’s a sun-splashed ballet—
Even fish choose my tank each night!
