Chocolate Pudding Letters Review : A New High Profile Journal

Category: AcademiaFoodHumor
Posted on: July 10, 2007 2:58 PM, by The Omnibrain

pudding_vbg.jpgI'm excited to announce that I've been named an associate editor for a new high profile journal, Chocolate Pudding Letters Review. Read below for our first call for papers:

CALL FOR PAPERS!

We are now accepting papers for the 1st issue of CPLR! DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Leading scientists anticipate that CPLR will become the premier outlet for major breakthroughs in the study of chocolate pudding (CP) and other viscous edible creations (VECs).

Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, 1) theoretical reviews, 2) empirical works, 3) recipes, 4) novel appropriations of/ways to smear CP/VECs, 5) interesting pictures of CP/VECs, 6) implications of CP/VECs for genetic research, 7) mirror neurons and CP/VECs, 8) and the localization of CP/VECs in the normal adult brain.

Please send an email to either of the Editors (refer to UIUC psychology website for contact info) stating your affiliation and which type of article you are submitting: a) short report, b) confession, c) diatribe, or d) ad hominem comment on others' work(s). Type (d) submissions are especially welcome for the first issue, but we prefer to receive these before the target article is composed and/or submitted. Videos and other multimedia works are encouraged. Please send us your most sincere manuscripts only. For authors interested in hilarious mockery of academic literautre, we recommend "The Savory Biscuit Pudding Report", "Journal of Experimental Pudding: Learning, Memory, and Pudding", "Psychological Pudding", and "Sensory and Pudding Skills".

Accepted works will be published online in Volume 1, Issue 1 of CPLR. Authors are invited to a founders' ceremony in Rm. 837 of the Psychology Building one week after all acceptance notifications have been issued. Invitees must provide some variety of VEC and are encouraged to bring a wig, electric drill, and beach towel.

Editors:

A. Ksyusha Kittredge
Eric G. Taylor

Associate Editors:

I find your close juxtaposition of chocolate pudding and underwear to be suggestive and distasteful in the extreme. For gods' sake man, think of the children!

What's a "mirror neuron"? Is that, like, irradiated CP droplets seen through the wrong end of an electron telescope with a chunk of smoked glass stuck on the end with a piece of Juicy Fruit?

That's what I thought.
