1. Entries must be either original, plagiarized, or forged (see here for discussions of plagiarism and forgery).
2. Obscene language should be avoided, unless it is entirely gratuitous, in which case it may be included but must then be replaced with !#@&$! so that my eldest child will not be able to read it while looking over my shoulder.
3. Relatives are not eligible to compete unless they self-identify as relatives and promise to send me a care package.
4. You may enter more than once, but you may not enter exactly seventeen times. Sixteen and eighteen are fine.
5. No reference to anything actually related to Dr. Who is permitted in the entry.
6. Entries that make reference to root vegetables get extra credit.
Without further ado, here is the picture:

ReplyDeleteJohn, Eric, glad you could make it. Welcome to hell.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric! I also removed the progressive tense from the subjunctive clause and cleared up it reference : "before taking our case" became "before he agrees to take our case". (just a side note to help our burgeoning OSU student writers! ;)
