Peep Stone Needs Your Help

[ps_editor]

For those of you who are familiar with the humorist Dave Barry (syndicated columnist for the Miami Herald), you know that a significant part of his success is the audience that helps him out. Dave is the regular recipient of "fodder" information sent to him from far and wide from people who know a funny thing when they see it, but don't either have the ability, the desire, or the contacts to create a publishable story.

You have the same opportunity! The Peep Stone Editor would LOVE to hear your funny anecdotes, your hilarious ideas, your biting insights with a humorous twist, your latest news stories from our very own Mormon country... If you happen upon a funny story, a clever idea, or even a true anecdote that is almost too good to be true, the Peep Stone Editor would love to hear about it. Maybe your idea will turn into the "Story of the Year!"

If you feel like playing, send your ideas and stories to pseditor@postmormon.org

Here are a few starts:
Recently converted mormon family brings Zions camp platter to ward potluck thinking it is mormon soul food. Zions Camp Platter includes: coarse bread, rancid butter, cornmeal mush, strong honey, raw pork, rotten ham and maggot-infested bacon and cheese!

Russian KGB confirm statement by ETB that civil rights movent was a communist plot to destabilize America. Unfortunately the plan backfired.

Elder called on mission to the North Pole having trouble locating the lost tribes.

Conversation with a native american who is still waiting for God to make his skin white & delightsome. Gripes about how God has removed the curse of Cain from Michael Jackson and he isn't even a member.

Church finally admits that JFS was wrong when he said man would never leave the earth.

Priest inducted into the Guiness Book of World records for most screwups of the sacrement prayer.

Man takes a Pepcid & looses his testimony.

Empty nest woman trains pet parrot to bear its testimony. States that after so many years of whispering a testimony into her kids ears she is unable to bear one on her own.

These are marvelous suggestions! You should take a crack at writing a story...it's great fun, and has been proven to prevent cavities when part of this complete breakfast!

Is Peepstone still open for submissions?

I emailed pseditor@postmormon.com from gmail.com and got the following bounce message:

Luna,

Thanks for pointing out a boo-boo in an old thread! I'll have Silverfox or Freethinker make the correction, because that e-mail address should be

pseditor@postmormon.org

We changed from a .com to a .org several months ago, and this is one of those little details that got missed in the transition.

So to answer your question, YES, Peep Stone is ALWAYS accepting submissions, because we are DESPERATE for new ideas! Send them in frequently, and we'll publish what we can. Funny is always the watchword.

Thanks, I can't wait to see what you send!

Peter_Mary (Peep Stone Editor)

Yo...Silverfox or Freethinker...a little help here? Thanks!

[peter_mary]

I seem to be in a dry spell, and would REALLY benefit from the creative ideas of our members and guests alike. If anyone has a good idea, or especially if they would like to take a stab at writing an article for the Peep Stone, it might help me get the next issue out! We're about due, don't you think?

If you have an idea, but you don't trust your skills, that's okay, send it along and we'll work something up. I just need inspiration, and my peep stone seems to be dark these days. Must have lost the spirit or something... :D

Send 'em to me at pseditor@postmormon.org

Muchas gracias!

Okay, the reservoirs are getting dry over here at the Peep Stone, and we need your help! Send us your best stories, your best ideas, even if they are undeveloped! If you write 'em, and we print 'em, you get your name on 'em. If we write 'em, and you help, you STILL get your name on 'em (with ours). If we do all the work, you get a nice thank you PM from yours truly (is that incentive enough? Please?)

Your prompt attention to this matter will cause the windows of heaven to open and pour forth blessings to great to hold! We promise!!!

Thanks so much for putting this together.... I get such a laugh reading it.

I only wish I could be as creative and funny and I would happily contribute. Alas, along with healing, speaking in tongues and all those other "gifts", comedy was not one I was given. If I get any flashes of inspiration though I'll do my best!

...yeah...that's a bad address. Try pseditor@postmormon.org

And maybe one of the moderators can go in and edit that address in the original post? Pretty please? With consecrated oil on top?

Your wish has been granted.
But what's this about getting oiled up? Are you pulling a Ted Haggard on me here?

Oh heavens no! If I was pulling a Ted Haggard, it'd be "Pretty Please with consecrated whipped cream on top." Consecrated oil is a TOTALLY different fetish... :neener:
