…maybe from stepping on a land mine or something….I can’t contain my morbid amusement! So are the moribund catfish and collard greens all ex evacuat-ay(silly contrived latin)?

(I’m a friend of Joey, Juliette and Dani and just wound up here too.) These are HILARIOUS. I only taught college English for one semester, but I definitely encountered some similar gems.

I don’t usually “lol”, but…

Well, I still won’t. :) Suffice to say, thanks for the laugh!

I’m a friend of Haley’s, and randomly ended up here. You know how it goes.

You should read Stephen Dunn’s poem “John & Mary,” based on one of your bad similes. I’m not always a fan of Dunn, but this one’s really lovely. He said it was one of those small joys that you write in one sitting.

It’s the first poem on here:

Where do you find this stuff?! You are so much cooler than me, like the icepack that sits atop my knee.
