My favorite was the one where EMU ANAL was the least-watched clip on pornhub.

IDDANCE is a good one. But I thought it was going to be the means of authentication once people learn to fake out retinal scanners

We didn't for this particular word, but it's fun to show two totally different definitions for the same made-up word or phrase. We do have two varied approaches to "SHIT, USA" and "USA SHIT." A number of people sent in definitions of LAP GLUE to a way to keep your grandchildren on your knee.

CLOTHER – – I see this as a great skit on SNL—or Monty Python, when they are reborn from heaven and here.

Tom Witte has an illustrious history -- for the entire history of the Invite, beginning in 1993 -- of writing risque humor. You should(n't) see what we DIDN'T use.

Tom Witte's rejected entries need to be posted somewhere so that those of us who indulge in tasteless humor can appreciate them.

Someone else said this better: when you choose a clown/entertainer for king, the palace becomes a three-ring circus.

Well here is some good news. Hats off to The Onion. “The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site’s users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash,” Onion CEO Ben Collins said in a statement."

TBR (The Borowitz Report, also on Substack) “reporting” new CIA chief will be Vladimir Putin. Sorry, I didn’t know how to do the link.

Fun week, good contest, entries, judging! Competing is a sanity inducer given the happenings of last week. And for 2020, especially Pat’s efforts. Start the resistance next week. Good BG article on states using federalism to protect their sanctuary status, gives states the rights to set their own EPA standards, even join international treaties! One good byproduct of those conservative judges.

Thank you for posting Amy C's story. All the MAGAts who want draconian immigration policies should read it. It probably won't change their minds, but the MAGAts won't be able to say they weren't aware.

Amy C., you have more courage and strength than I ever could hope to have.
