Edgar Allan Poe answers the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

So, last night the ALS challenge finally came home to roost here at kc dyer central, bestowed upon me by the ever-innovative and evil Mike Carson.

Here’s his challenge.

 

Brilliant, yes? I could not hope to compete with that.

But as competition is not the spirit of the thing — [hint: GIVING to support ALS] — I decided to at least provide a writerly angle to my response.

And, ever the gentleman, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe stepped in to assist…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also? I hereby challenge my writer friends Tyner Gillies, James McCann and Lee Edward Fodi to participate in ice-bucketing themselves [or their literaray counterparts] on behalf of ALS. You’ve got 24 hours, guys!

 

More soon…

  1. This is brilliant! I imagine Pseudo-Poe developed a terrible cough shortly after his dousing–the kind of cough that can only be cured with laudanum… 🙂 Well done, Kc, well done!
