Feb. 10th, 2006 01:52 pmSo, I got a runner-up in the Washington Post's Style Invitational last Sunday by suggesting this new Olympic event:
The Punitive Luge: Each country binds one convicted murderer to a sled, has four men push him. The criminal who reaches the bottom fastest wins glory for his country. My prize is a new T-shirt. Joy.
Tea last night was fantastic, with topics of conversation ranging from what to do before you die, to velocity of dropped super-bouncy-balls from the top of the Empire State Building, to baby-killin'. And triple ginger poundcake. And people only wanted to kill me for bad puns a few times.
Speaking of killing, I've posted a small poem on RisingPun.com about the Muhammad cartoon controversy. (Read it before I try to submit it to a paper and have to remove it for 3 months.) Perhaps your reaction is, "Hey, you already mentioned this issue a few times, we are fully aware of how you feel about it, and it would be more pleasant and productive if you moved on to something else."
A fine sentiment. I'm just not the one that most needs to hear it.
