New Contributors - Do You Have What It Takes To Be One?

Close readers of The Gource will observe that two entries out of the past 32 have been written by persons other than this reporter or Guiles Gonoughan. Following these events, The Gource's inbox has been flooded with questions such as "Who are these new contributors?" "Who taught you people punctuation?" and most importantly, "Can I contribute to the Gource?" The answers are simple, and are enumerated as follows:
1) They are Galley Gorkin, Gephie Goplan, and Gade Gickels Addendum: Gunðer Gastergack
2) Ms. Gonca, 3-4 grade
3) Almost definitely not. Our contributors (see #1) were handpicked from the ranks of the finest publications to be found. More often than not, these writers far outshone their publications (think Kurt Vonnegut writes for TV Guide), which made them that much easier to pick. After Guiles and I have picked a list of five writers each, we cut our papers into slivers (one name per sliver), and then pick three from a hat.
So, it is unlikely that you can make it through our meticulous process of choosing writers. If you disagree, however, you may email us and try your luck against the hat.
