We‘re back and feeling giggly! Here are some of our favorite funny pieces published elsewhere from the past week:

I Will Funge These Tokens if It's the Last Thing I Do

Nathaniel Brown took on something we didn’t have any base knowledge of or burning desire to understand and still made us laugh, and for that we are indebted. Check it out at Points In Case!

A Boat Surrounded by Sharks Is a Childcare Option I Am Seriously Considering

Michelle Kobler had us angry-laughing with this piece, which when you interchangeably laugh and rage at our devices/the news/the world. Head over to McSweeney’s to give it a read!

Olympics To Add "Living In Chicago" To Official List Of Winter Sports - The Lunar Times

This satirical news story by Andal Paul is both hilarious and informative — did you all remember there’s a Winter Olympics next month? Neither did we. Check out the Lunar Times for this and many more funny headlines!

I'll Start This New Project Just as Soon as All Conditions in My Life Are Perfect

We swear we were just sitting down to write when we stumbled upon this fabulous new piece by Alex Baia, up now in Shouts and Murmurs. And as soon as we finish reading all of our back issues of TNY, we’ll get going on that novel!

Submission Guidelines for Convolution Lit

Also from Points In Case, Gracie Beaver-Kairis penned this excellent piece that we editors are surely the target audience for. This piece definitely isn’t about us, though, right? *sweats nervously*
