citations to unusual sources

You know how sometimes you need to cite a source that you've never cited before? Something that makes you go hunting in the index of the ALWD Citation Manual or The Bluebook, but that you just can't find?

PMLA (the PostModern Language Association) provides a great (and hilarious) service in modeling  "Alternative Source Citations." What kinds of alternative sources, you ask? How about rest-stop restroom graffiti? Magic 8-balls? tattoos? "epithets hollered out car windows"?

P.S. If you enjoy the citation page, you might also enjoy PMLA's "Textual Healing" page, which answers the "thorniest usage inquiries and conundrums."
