Tourney of Bookshit

HTML Giant‘s Tournament of Bookshit, now six months deep into its hilarious ramble, has just announced its Final 4:

Semi #1 – Alcoholism vs. “everybody has a story”, judged by Jennifer L. Knox.

Semi #2 – Calling anything you write a manuscript vs. Sewage Treatment Technologies, judged by Jason Bredle.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Calling anything you write a manuscript’s win over celeb fiction, which had some real gems and was a serious match to boot. It was what everyone was waiting for and, if humble, yet meteoric Calling anything you write a manuscript has a slurry of go-ahead wins all the way to the championships, it may be looked upon as the true turning point in a truly historic year for bookshit.

Graham Todd is an intern at The Rumpus. He spends his mornings writing post-apocalyptic, vaguely biblical sci-fi horror comedy, his evenings tutoring the wide-eyed youth of the Palo Alto area, and his Thursdays at The Rumpus office, effectively “off the streets”. Beyond this weekly ritual, he enjoys karaoke, the movies, and jogging.
