Submission Week at WHSSWCM

Hi friends! It’s been quite the year, hasn’t it? We’ve had fun telling the story of St. Louis in GIFs, but we know there’s still plenty you want to see on this blog (looking at you, Lutheran South.) So, in honor of our anniversary on tumblr, we’re turning this baby over to you this week. That’s right…we’re taking submissions, and lots of them.

Come at us with your best submissions (either on tumblr or email) and we might just hit “publish”. (Make sure you tell us how to credit you!) 

Any questions? Have fun!

Happy birthday, little blog

We birthed this blog one year ago today and are now ready to stuff our faces with cake to celebrate. We never imagined that a few inside jokes between the two of us would turn into a website that nearly 200,000 people have read.

So, to those people: thanks for laughing with us for an entire year.

We’re not going anywhere, but we think this occasion calls for one GIF, and one GIF only.
