Win an Ocelot STD 2.0 Windscreen (shipping included)!

That looks like a really nice winscreen

Sure why not

A hiker once paused on a bluff,
Complaining his stove wasn’t tough.
Then Ocelot’s screen
Made his setup so lean—
Now half the fuel’s more than enough!

With a little luck it              Will end up in your bucket They will even truck it.         Just not to Nan******

You guys need to step up you game!  I am running the same contest at Trek-Lite and there have been 19 entires so far.  That, and the limericks are pretty good.

A fastpacker selecting hardware
Considered each item with care
Will you take a windshield
To help you cook in the field?
No it’s thirty more grammes I can’t bear

My oh my

I’ll give it a try

You’re in for a treat

But I’m gonna cheat

And use A.I.

PING!  This contest ends in 5 days, you can only win if you enter.  Best wishes.

There once was a hiker so bright,
Who swore every ounce wasn’t right.
He’d cut off his tags,
Trim handles from bags,
And camp with a pack feather-light!

Why not.  Practicing my Ai prompting skills, from chatGPT:

A hiker obsessed with his load,
Weighed each gram on the side of the road.
He made a windscreen so light,
It blew off in the night—
But hey, zero ounces!—he crowed.

There once was a hiker so sly,

Used AI to cheat, didn’t try.

The bag was so light,

Challenge Ultra delight,

But ethics were left way up high.

Lol, Touche!

A.I. limericks….This is the bubble we’re betting our future on?

I’m disqualifying myself.   Though I need the wealth.   You know why.                         I used A.I.                           Any gains are only pelf.

The use of AI is prefectly acceptable, time to embrace technology when needed.  And frankly, many of you are more skilled at using AI than actually being able to coin a limerick.  This is the Way.

I tried to coin a limerick

But I couldn’t make it stick

There’s nothing in my head

My thoughts are dead

So I wrote this instead real quick

gemini, write me a limerick about using AI to write a limerick about the Ocelot STD 2.0 Windscreen:

A coder named Stan, bright and keen,

Used AI for a limerick machine.

Of the Ocelot 2.0,

A windshield, “It’s  so

Aerodynamic and perfectly clean!”

The contest is officially over, the random winner was  – – – – – – – David D

PM me with your mailing address and select which Ocelot Windscreen best meets your needs.

Congrats to everyone who entered the contest!

In contests of rhyme, I took a fall,

David D’s wit left me standing small.

His limericks did dance,

With a masterful chance,

And I just tagged along, after all.

Flexing chatGPT one more time:

Some poets were mad at the bot,
“That limerick is AI, so it’s rot!”
But the host simply grinned,
“He’ll enjoy that new wind-
screen on trail—so who cares how it’s wrought?”

I have to report

Jon’s a good sport

I’ll tell you why

He let us use A.I.

As a last resort

AI, write a limerick about human limerick writers losing their jobs:

An AI, quite fluent and fast,

Made human lim’ricks a thing of the past.

With rhymes neat and slick,

It composed quite a trick,

And poets cried, “Out on your cast!”
