I mean, this is all a learning experience. And keeping a running tally of lists returned is simply an easy way to make sure the entry titles are unique, right?
RIGHT?!?
Yes, right. It’s all good, and I got a lovely note from the McSweeney’s editor this time, with helpful advice on the sorts of pieces they’re looking for. He didn’t even use words like ‘asinine’, ‘talentless’, or ‘restraining order’.
(Unlike those humorless schmucks at The Economist.

Anyway, here’s the latest loopy list, for your perusal. Rest assured the next one’s on the road to McSweeney’s soon… so in another couple of weeks, you’ll probably see it here, too. At least I know what the entry title’s going to be already, eh?
