Neither of the above
Here is my full author page at McSweeney’s, and here is a selection of others at the site:
I was the Lists page editor at the McSweeney’s site from 2004-2007 and helped put together Mountain Man Dance Moves (2006).
“Borges Was A Webelo” was not short-listed for the Pushcart Prize, but might have been. It appears in The McSweeney’s Joke Book of Book Jokes (2008).
I contributed to The Future Dictionary of America (2004) and Issues #35 (2010) and #39 (2011) of the Quarterly.
