We are looking for your help in coming up with items for the Weekly Planet’s Short List. The Short List, for those of you who either don’t know or refuse to scroll down, is meant as a quick comedic take on the events of the day. Local, national, international — whatever you like. We don’t care as long as you make it funny.
Since the PoHo first solicited submissions to be posted to Blurbex’s comments section, we’ve had exactly one reader take a stab at it. (Thank you Michael Hussey, yours was a bold first try.) I can only assume that when asked to speak up, our readers were blanketed in abject fear. (We know you’re out there, people. We’re counting you right now.) I say get over it. There’s no reason to be bashful or afraid. We’re all friends here.
