Too hot for McSweeney's!

Normally, rejection doesn't bother me. It's just part of the process of writing for publication.

But getting rejected by the McSweeney's web site? I'm sorry. That just hurts.

For one thing, it's just a stupid web site! It's not like I'm asking them to commit finite resources to my literary efforts. For another thing, look at what I sent them! It's a list of words that I invented on my lunch hour!

Now, standard procedure, when something is rejected is you just send it to the next publication. Well, where in the hell do I send my list of words now, huh?! The Journal of Making $%*@ Up?!

No. You know what, McSweeney's? I'm putting my submission right here on kurttrue.com. You don't count as a legitimate publication credit anyway. Next time I think of something funny on my lunch hour, I'm going to print it out and mail it to "Laughter, the Best Medicine."

Meanwhile, kurttrue.com fans, I give you…
