Many of you remember (and contributed to) an issue of
Bumbershoot featuring "tailgaters," funny couplets combining a famous line of poetry with a comedic one. I suggested to the
Washington Post that they use the concept for one of their weekly humor contests, and they have done so, giving a nice plug to
Bumbershoot and using tailgaters by me and Frank Osen as examples of what they are looking for. Maybe some of you will send in some tailgaters to the
Washington Post? They need to be unpublished. You can send in up to 25 of them, so get to work.
Here's the link.
