Humor. Outrageous discussions, surprising observations, live chats, polls, and the weekly Invitational humor contest (formerly The Washington Post's Style Invitational). Significant misanthropy tempered by a warm heart.

The Invitational's new home -- every Thursday, presented by the humor/worplay contest's founder, "Czar" Gene Weingarten, and his successor, "Empress" Pat Myers. Plus Gene, longtime humor columnist for The Washington Post and a two-time Pulitzer winner for feature writing, takes your questions and says many funny things.
