We got a lot of variations on the old “the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs” chestnut from high school typing class. Good golly, you people are lazy. Come on — this is a literary contest. We’re looking for some freakin’ originality, people. Leslie Rottach’s haiku packed the most punch. (I think I’m going to rename my band Expunge the Jackal.) She wins a $40 certificate to the District and two passes to the Guild Cinema.
