Literati!
Don’t you dare scroll through all this to find out who it is! Claudia Barillas sent this to me in the wee small hours, and I am so grateful she is the one making enemies and not me! Our contest Of Knights and Knaves has been tough because of the [...]

Good morning all!
I opened my pouch this morning, after the requisite cup of Yirgacheffe Region Ethiopian coffee, and found that Claudia Barillas, our judge for the contest Of Knights and Knaves, burned the midnight oil on our behalf.

Literati! Our final finalist in our contest Of Knights and Knaves is Mike Stang. I wonder if he’d accept my appreciation, in Liu of a prize? (Bad Pun Alert! Bad Pun Alert!–but you have to read his story to get it) He apparently is, as my daughters with strong Asian features [...]

Those of you who have been counting realize that two of the four finalists have been posted–this makes three! Diane raises an interesting point: what the heck is a New York minute? How does it differ from other minutes? And that led me to a more profound pondering: If you [...]

In spite of what you have been told, the title to Karla Onstott’s finalist entry in our contest Of Knights and Knaves is not the security code to the treasure room at The Word (we remain totally insecure), nor is it the ages of the women I have most recently [...]

We have selected four finalists for our contest Of Knights and Knaves. Claudia Barillas selected one, as did Gary Clark and Derek Thompson. The fourth was selected ramdumbly from the scrotum that is well hung from the ceiling of The Word, lowered for just such occasions.
Our finalists have until [...]

…and panders to the editors-in-briefs!
Here is his second entry into our contest Of Knights and Knaves, the contest that required the writer to use the line or create one that sounds similar to “It was a dark and stormy night.”
All right Sal…No fair pandaring to the editors-in-briefs! It’s not [...]

Mercifully, our much protracted contest Of Knights and Knaves is coming to a close. We have a few more entries that made it under the wire, including this one by Janet Klise, which she calls:

Literati…I have an amazing talent to take the most somber story, well written, and ascribe some absolutely frivolous graphic and comment to it in an effort to entertain you, and compel you to read the stories that get posted on the blog. Just couldn’t do it this time…I must be slippin’…or [...]

Mac Eagan has another offering for our contest Of Knights and Knaves. Truth be told, (It happens on rare occasions here at The Word)I missed any reference to a phrase that sounds something like “It was a dark and stormy night,” which was a requirement of the contest, but he [...]

“You can get everyone you taunt, at the editor’s favorite haunt.”

I read this poignant confession three times, thinking there had been some mistake, that author Michael Stang did not intend for it to be entered into our contest, but simply as a feature to share for commentary. But I am slow, very slow, in all things except love-making. And then [...]

Here is another entry from Kyle Katz. From days of olde when Knights were bowled. That’s why we have bowling knights at Absurd with You Press. (When bad humo(u)r strikes I spare no one.) We have movie nights too, and we shall be starting that up again in a few [...]

Here is Mac Eagan’s first entry into our contest, Of Knights and Knaves. Somewhere within the text you will find a phrase that sounds an awful lot like “It was a dark and stormy night”. That’s better than a phrase that just sounds awful!)Tis a requirement to enter, and the [...]
