Slog - Comments on For Slog's Only Poetry Fan http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/for_slogs_only_poetry_fan The University Bookstore has a contest on their blog, just in time for National Poetry Month. There are eight silhouettes of mystery poets, along with two representative lines of poetry. Whoever guesses all eight poets correctly gets entered into a drawing for "some fabulous, poetry-related prizes!" I have heard that at least one of the poems isn't Google-able, but I find it hard to believe that anything, when done right, isn't Google-able. I know that one of you out there is a closeted poetry fan, and I am telling you: Get to work. This is your chance to shine....

I just tried since I live in a different part of the country and have no intention of entering. I got four of them without Google, though. I knew that BA in English Literature would be good for something someday!

Which one is supposed to be the hard one? The Russian?

Me, I was just impressed that The The and The Band are both googleable, which surprised me.

You can go out and use "The Google" to find the answers to the contest. And we at the store won't know. But, you'll know.

That's right. You'll know you cheated.

And it will eat at you for the rest of your life. Seriously.

But go ahead. Cheat. Be a big cheater.

While you're at it, use Scrabble Word Finder when you play with your school chums. Go ahead. Be a part of the breakdown of society.

I said I googled the answers. I never said I planned on entering the contest. As I suspect is the case with many sloggers.
