Today we interrupt the near ceaseless flow of comic mayhem that normally clogs these portals to bring you exciting news of great relevance to the humor writing world.
My friend Bill Snodgrass is taking submissions for a book of faux-scientific ninja humor to be published under his imprint Double-Edged Publishing.
Better known in the speculative fiction genre, Double-Edged is looking to branch out a bit into humor and this means an opportunity for me…us.
I know what you’re thinking, “Brent, you had me at ninja…” but hold on there are a few stipulations:
You will not be paid for your story.
You will not receive a free copy of the book.
But on the other hand, if accepted, you will be a published author and can plug your blog or other writings in your piece, and you won’t have to bribe anyone to print your brilliant literary achievement (again).
Go to ninja.doubleedgedpublishing.com for further details.
And for your writing inspiration please enjoy this ninjastastic video masterpiece by my band DangerCouch, the first and last name in musical ninja throwing star related injury.
What are you waiting for? Get cracking.
Don’t be a selfish twit. Let everyone know about this great opportunity by voting the phlegm out of it on humor-blogs.com

Interesting. Last time I wore all black and threw a star at someone, I got arrested. Maybe writing about ninjas would give me a better result.
My blog is written by ninjas, so maybe I’ll get them to submit something.
Cool! Thanks for not hogging all the publication opportunities for yourself!
;)
I’m in, if even for the fun of it.
(Well, I haven’t read the rules yet actually.)
(-But real ninjas don’t read “rules.”)
(Hmmm … Would ninjas know how to fix my dishwasher?)
Thanks for the heads up… it does sound interesting.
Thanks a lot for the great share! Keep it up.
Hmmm…. That was indeed an interesting video with some cool bass. Speaking of ninjas, I have a video uploaded on facebook of a ninja.
muskrat -Better cellmates possibly.
Jeff -I see you know who to steal from. Just make sure you don’t get caught, shuriken acupuncture can be unpleasant.
Margaret -Generosity on my part? All that therapy with Doctor Toboggans might have really helped. It certainly helped cure my surplus cash problem.
LOBO -Dirty dishes + throwing stars = really clean shards of ceramic.
Alex L. -It’ll be even more interesting once you put together your contribution.
Jeff@Childrens Guitars -Perhaps you could strum a ninja ditty. I have several in my repituare if you you don’t know any.
Scott Phillips -Oh yes, Danger Couch: smooth yet stunningly awesome. If only they had a DVD for sale.
Brent, you actualy did have me at ninja… I mean all this other stuff is nice and all but if something says “ninja” on the cover you can be sure I’ll buy it.
