Yes, I asked for you Topless Roboteers to see if you could manage to get to 1,000 comments (not entries, necessarily, but comments). And yes, you all were cool enough to do that. But then... then you kept going. And going, and going, and going, and holy shit there were 2100 comments in last weekend's TR contest.
And many entries contained more than one haiku (one entry in particular had 250, but we'll get to that), of course. Sure, not every comment contained a haiku or limerick about '80s cartoons, almost all of them were written in haiku anyways. People were having whole conversations -- about the contest, about Smurf sex, about the power of breasts, about anything -- in haiku. It was truly amazing... and totally awful, since I had to read them all.
After trying to ignore the contest all day Tuesday with booze, I finally finished judging the results at about 1:30 am last night. As promised, there will be extra shirts awarded, but be warned -- with so many entries, I had to be insanely picky, or else it would have taken even longer to judge. There's a lot of awesome shit that couldn't make the cut. Also, there's probably some awesome stuff I missed, again, because 2100 entries, dammit. With that caveat, let's start the Honorable Mentioning. (Also, thanks to Greggory for the improved pic!)

There was a transformer named 'Potimus' PrimeAbraxas said:
His foe 'Egatro' was a complete ball of slime
Sold him to Jabba the Hutt
Who had him enact smut
And his ass gave Artoo a good time!
a love poem from Panthro to the Thunder Tank:Abraxas went above and beyond in the contest, and then immediately down into the sewers with the filth and depravity. Most of it was horrible things about the Thundercats and Sam and Bumblebee, but there was plenty of haiku about me fucking and getting fucked by a variety of cartoon characters in socially unacceptable ways.
I like to see you lap the miles,
Running over Wollows in piles.
I love the feel of your crankshaft turning,
And the sound of your engine purring
Send my loins reeling, burning.
Bumblebee's front seat
is perfumed by the fragrance

WileyKat and Kit were a pair
who carried their incest with flair
they'd do both sixty-nine
and doggy-style fine
and blew snarf like they just didn't care

Back in the day, the 80's some say,Nostromo's Second Android said:
The T.V.'s had knobs and three channels.
On Saturday morn, the screens did adorn,
with cartoons inside those wood panels.
A week of distress, schools,bullies,duress,
At last a moment of bliss.
With characters,plots, some have,some nots,
All wrapped in animations sweet kiss.
From muscle bound clad,and meglomaniacs mad,
To robots,armies and wars.
With whiney voice foes, or undefeatable bros,
And sometimes just one season bores.
Our minds were bent, with full intent,
On selling our parents their plastic.
We learned about greed,and screamed WE NEED,
And imagined our plights so drastic.
Our memories burned, still we turned,
Into adults that remember those ways.
In fondness we recall, and honor it all,
With a T-shirt we wear on Saturdays.

Thunder, a thunder
Ho! An eye shines in the sky,
calling all brave cats.
The dread of robeasts,
a union of great lions.
A blazing sword sings.

Why are all these damn races through mountains?
Everyone tries to cheat
But they'll soon be beat
When Racer X takes down the assassins.

I root for the sorcerer more
in the endless smurf/Gargamel war,
because we mustn't forget
that he made Smurfette:
Everyone's favorite blue whore.
