    Godammit, I never win anything. I just *know* I’m too late, but I sent one anyway. I finished the one about the hermaphrodite child of two generations of incest and his/her voyage of self-discovery via peep shows and the Berlin subway system, and now I need some new smut. Please let me win one: my life is empty and meaningless.

    PS, why isn’t intern editor Juli writing this? Isn’t she the literary one?

    jodyleek: So, is there a coffee table version that omits the words. Cuz I got ten bucks.

  16. ExecutorElassus says at 12:23 pm, September 4th, 2009

    And why can’t I get the strikeout tag to work? See? Empty and meaningless.
