Magnetic Poetry Slam Results: Nitrozac/Snaggy Celebrity Entry


All last week, you entertained us with entries for our exclusive Magnetic Poetry Contest. And major props to you: Apple didn’t exactly make it easy with their minimalist choice of words, even if it did enable Snaggy’s reference to Jerry Lewis character “Buddy Love” (or the double-entendre of IM romance that implies). Now, we’ll begin revealing the results — too much to print all at once — and tomorrow, the official winners. First off, we were lucky enough to get a celebrity entry from Snaggy and Nitrozac of Geek Culture. (Okay, yes, I nagged them.) Sound off in comments on how a celebrity poetry deathmatch Nitrozac vs. Snaggy would go. (And look at how they were able to make their own magnetic poetry set from my low-res photo!)

Snaggy’s Poem
Apple switched my Mac OS
Jaguar is hot CD?

We will surf the digitial shop,
Play music, iSync, iChat, email home.
Camera go iPhoto,
Perfect

ipod sing
I wish! :-}

Cool 🙂

Best DVD
Buddy Love movies ;-O

Nitrozac’s Poem

we SO cool
PLAY HOT movies
LOVE MY music
EMAIL Mac SHOP
BEST SING I

Snaggy claims that while this entry didn’t use all the words (many entries didn’t), it can be read backwards — very impressive, up until “cool SO we,” but who knows, maybe saying “cool so we” will catch on as a phrase on the Net. Stranger things have happened. Thanks, Snaggy and Nitrozac! More poetry coming soon!
