sometimes it's hard to be funny

in honor of our upcoming bad poetry, bad music event (thursday night, 7.00, dewey lounge, be there), here's a labcat challenge:

write a wonderfully bad poem. comedy's always hard to put into written words without expressions or hand gestures. i find that saying the jokes out-loud helps rouse those literary juices. if you come up with anything, email us! i'll post it! if this isn't bad enough, i'll be subjecting you to some of my bad poetry very, very soon.

submission date extended!

show off your brainy chops in our smith college lit & art mag. we extended the deadline to december 23rd, the very end of the semester, for all you procrastinators out there. but really, we'd love to read & see your stuff.

so send in your poetry, short stories, essays, screenplays, drawings, painting photos--anything, really--for publication in the early spring. limit to five poems. stories should be 5-7 pages. art should be in 300 dpi. all submissions as attachments to labrys@smith.edu. yes, that was a fragment.

be sure to include your name, title, and class year in the body of the email.

contact our lit mag mavens with any questions. should i have written all of that in small print?

hope to see you in the submissions pile! happy december!
