If this carnie’s a rockin’, don’t come a knockin’! Welcome to the 36th edition of The Carnival of Satire.

The Band

George at Facetation has found some lost liner notes written by Hunter S. Thompson. (General Kang is pretty sure this is not made up, but the liner notes sure read like great satire.)

Apparently, a cat was Falsely Accused of Passing Gas, a story vented over at at Catnabbit!. Dr. Tundra thought the pic was hilarious.

Chris Quimby, CPC – Certified Public Comedian shares his latest Job Interview, including thoughts about dairy products, superheroes and white-water rafting. (See, you have to read it now, don’t you?)

If you’re struggling with what satire is, exactly, why not read Mark’s essay on the subject. And please, please, please, we beg you — just send us you best single post! Here comes the boiler plate:
