Captain Cujo be worried, me hearties: the hold be nearly empty, and the crew be nowhere in sight. We have an unhappy captain:
At the risk of being a martinet, I'm not satisfied. We sail this weekend regardless, because I doubt I'll be able to do much next weekend, and if we keep pushing cruises back we'll eventually be so far back in time that we meet ourselves, or something like that.We can't be havin' wi' this. So allow myself to repeat myself:
Captain Cujo be lookin' for ye!
We be expectin' a big crew this time, especially in light o' the fact so many o' us missed the boat after the holidays. So get yer submissions in by January 29th.Once again, I'll be donning the funny hat and and as many pistols as I can carry as I host a cruise of the carnival. I'd love to see submissions from folks who haven't participated before, particularly if they're regular readers. If you submit your entry before January 29, that would be even better. I'll have more time to work on that narrative thing I heard about in composition class. January 29 is the deadline, however.
If you're still not sure what sort of article works as a COTEB article, click on the COTEB keyword and check out some past carnivals.
So, as Admiral Hunter says, send us your treasures, and we'll see you in a few days.
BTW, if you don't have a website, but you have an article that you've written, send it to me and I'll put it up here as a guest post.
Or suffer the shame o' missin' the boat.
It looks as if I will, indeed, suffer the shame of missing the boat this trip. However I do nominate to be Shanghaied this post from Slacktivist: I think maybe part of the reason you're so angry is you keep demanding that you get screwed and then, not surprisingly, you keep getting screwed.
