  1. What, no Ann Coulter?

  2. Do Not Want

    Hey! Where did that article about Tina Fey, our new alien overlord, go?

    I liked that cooky little article. And I, for one, look forward to our new alien overlord’s quirky flavor of elitist satire.

    it’s time to learn to read again!

    Not as long as my body is still producing semen.

  5. Delicious says at 10:58 am, October 6th, 2008

    Worst. Prizes. Ever.

  6. Thanks but no thanks…I’m still reading my legacy collection of Hustler and I think the pictures are probably a whole lot better.

  7. Gopherit v2.0 says at 11:01 am, October 6th, 2008

    Aaaah. If I win, I can burn them for warmth. That might give me an extra couple of hours.

  8. JadedDIssonance says at 11:02 am, October 6th, 2008

    um, i’d rather read 11 books by our marvelous editors. /suckup

  9. EnBuenOra says at 11:03 am, October 6th, 2008

    I think we just need a gigantic, all-nation showing of An American Carol. That would bring us together, holding hands in silent rage at how much it sucked.

  10. Political Addict says at 11:04 am, October 6th, 2008

    How about,

    I’d rather slit my wrists. Wait. Two more words. Writer’s block. Ok. That makes 7.

  11. gurukalehuru says at 11:07 am, October 6th, 2008

    Ron Paul was right. Send me golden book Ameros.
    Seven words without swearing? Hard to do.

  12. MathewBrooks says at 11:07 am, October 6th, 2008

    This is a trick. They know none of us can bring ourselves to send an email with that subject line.

  13. MathewBrooks: HaHA! Speak for yourself!
    So what email do we use? Should I just spam all of wonkette with my entry/viagra ads?

  14. professor.cj says at 11:23 am, October 6th, 2008

    hmmm… what’s a cuss word? does context matter? “I swallow democracy whole” seems like a fine (if fairly loaded statement–heh heh), but………

  15. NoWireHangers says at 11:23 am, October 6th, 2008

    When are entries due, Ken?

  16. I will kill again. Three more? Stab, stab, stab.

  17. Gopherit v2.0 says at 11:36 am, October 6th, 2008

    It should have been more difficult, like a haiku:

    Oh how I would love
    This collection of “wisdom”
    Looks like great kindling.

  18. The sarcastic tone of this site seems to imply that….Ron Paul wasn’t right. That can’t be accurate.

    Gopherit v2.0:

    These books are shitty.
    What about all of the porn,
    lying around there?

  20. Chicken Smack says at 11:53 am, October 6th, 2008

    how can I read in winter with no electricity? can I power a 15 watt lightbulb through shivering?

  21. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:53 am, October 6th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: That whole haiku thing is so web 1.0

  22. Gopherit v2.0 says at 11:55 am, October 6th, 2008

    Lascauxcaveman: We can’t afford web 2.0 anymore.

  23. WadISay: Repetitive. You must have been a marketing major.

  24. GetItWrong says at 11:59 am, October 6th, 2008

    Indian Cuisine:
    Chicken Manchurian or
    Hopi Hominy?

  25. Chicken Smack says at 12:06 pm, October 6th, 2008

    S.Luggo: there’ll be a snark tax soon. and this place will become silent.

  26. MISTAHCOUGHDROP says at 12:09 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Screw that! Buy my book, MISTER ROSE’S ABC BOOK. We’ll have to get back to the basics, people (P.S. There’s plenty of “drinking” letters here!) Get one for your kids, and then one for yourself:
