DAILY MANIFESTO

Mortal Kombat Haiku Fridays

Posted on Friday, April 22 @ 17:20:22 Eastern by Blake_Morse
You're not going to believe this, but somehow we have an extra 360 copy of the new Mortal Kombat game lying around, doing nothing but taking up space (stupid game!) So we thought maybe one of you guys would be kind enough to take it off our hands for us. We know you're all the generous types and are always looking for ways to help us out.

But not everyone can have the privilege of doing such a good deed. So we're going to have to filter through all the entries with a haiku contest!

Just leave your 5-7-5 poem in the comments section below and then come back next Friday to see if you're the big winner.

This weeks Iron Haiku ingredient is... Mortal Kombat!!! Tell us about your favorite character, fatality, if you liked MK 2 more than MK 3. Whatever you want. Just remember: Only one of you will achieve a flawless victory.


 


Last weeks winner is hanz007! PM me with your mailing address to claim your prizes!
