Attention: READ THE RULES
Ben's old job is open and Jim Brady needs to buy a vowel or two to solve the puzzle of how to replace Box Turtle Boy. He's already stated that the gig is more about entertainment than journalism. We all have an idea of what Jimbo is looking for in their new plagiarist.
Rules:
1. One entry only. If more than one entry is received only the first will count, if you are caught, maybe not. Ok, this is just a guideline.
2. Entry length: Standard 5 paragraph format. Or not. Could be shorter. Just keep it entertaining and in the style of Benny: bad, nasty and "derivitive". Truthy too. Maybe a bit fascist, yeah.
More:
3. Winner is to be determined by the number of recommends.
4. Prizes: The winners will have their work submitted to Jim Brady by Monday morning for Jim's perusal. He might not choose you but hey this isn't about credentials. It is about the writing.
I haven't run this by the committee but maybe georgia10 or someone could round up some swag. We know Markos isn't in the office. Come on, while the cat's away the mice can play. Please, pretty please. Or maybe just the glory. Ok, how about I give you a link to Jimmy Carter's first post! It is historical.
Sample: April is the cruellest month and I've noticed that these days are the best of times and the worst of times, it is the age of foolishness, it is the epoch of incredulity that any of these neo-commies could consider relief to the poor. Last night I was playing Nintendogs when it came to me like a burning bush. Why not invite the "poor" to their own gated community, like a dog pound where they could be supervised, trained and the voluntary community could bring them food and stuff. It wouldn't be good to let them get too close so each one could have their own room, sorta like those Opus Dei things the monks use. The medieval word is gaol cellus. We would all be better off if we were like St. Augustine, I confess. I wrote this all myself and thinked it up too.
