A cool new idea

Today, someone at school gave me a suggestion that I've heard several times from several people over the course of the past few days. I like the idea, so I'm gonna try it out. Inspired by sites like FML and the far-superior MLIA, I am going to begin posting stories in a similar format. (Do not fear; these will neither replace nor inhibit the posting of other material.) Now here's the fun part: these stories will be submitted by you. Yes, you. Just send an email to Submissions@OnlyAtIA.com containing your story and how you would like your name to appear (if at all), and I'll post it if I like it (and when I get to it). If yours doesn't get posted the first time, don't worry! You many submit as many different stories as you like, so there are plenty of chances to get published. I plan on posting them in the sidebar then transferring them to a post just like I do with the quotes. Here are the rules and guidelines for submissions:

-The story MUST be true! Since I will have no way of verifying some of the stories you submit, I have to trust that you will not make them up. If I find out later that a story is not true, I reserve the right to change or delete it.
-Please use proper grammar. As I hope you've figured out by now, I like the stuff. I also reserve the right to make any corrections to the story before posting, and really bad grammer (like spelling grammar wrong) will lessen your chances of success.
-The normal format will follow that of MLIA and FML: Today, [insert a story that could only happen at IA]. OAIA (Normally not more than three or four sentences. Variations from this format are OK, as long as they make sense and/or are comedically effective.)
-Have fun with it! Try to keep it original, witty, and hilarious!

For example:

Today, an IA student posted as their Facebook status message, "Why do the weekends go so fast?" Another student commented with a link to an article from BBC News entitled, "Why having fun makes time speed," complete with a thorough scientific investigation into the matter. OAIA

Today, I realized that we IA students dread and complain about having to go to the "pep rally," one of the few sports-related events at our school, yet look forward to and greet with thunderous applause the assembly about Indian culture and dancing. I laughed at the irony. OAIA

Remember, just send an email to Submissions@OnlyAtIA.com. Be sure to include your name, as I will give credit to those who would like it. Thank you in advance for your submissions! OAIA
