You know it’s a good laugh when you start reading the post aloud before you’ve read it through.  You know it’s even better when your reading has to take long pauses while you catch you breath from laughing.

May I direct you to…

Jim Hines Slush Reading, Seuss Style.

It’s tough to pick favorite lines, but these really jumped off the page:

This one is in Comic Sans!
My parents are my biggest fans.

That evil font we do not want!
My aching eyes, my weary sighs.
Why can’t you get the format right?
We post our guidelines in plain sight!
I will not read your 8-point type.
I want to bash you with a pipe!

Does my choosing these lines demonstrate me to be horribly scarred and irrevocably altered by my time in the slushfield?

Noo…I think it just means I have a certain sympathy for editors.

And, besides, I couldn’t really post the couplet rhyming with loo, now, could I?
