Can you rant with the same ferocity as Lewis Black? When you're red-faced and talking trash, does brilliant wit start flying (along with some phlegm)?

Well, now's your chance to prove you can spew wisdom like, "It's absolutely stupid that we live without an ozone layer. We have men, we've got rockets, we've got Saran Wrap -- FIX IT!"

Write a hilarious rant in our comments and get a chance to win a copy of Black's new book, "Me of Little Faith."

More about how to win after the jump.

What kind of writing are we looking for? We want it to be Blackalicious -- combine your rage with humor, but don't use profanity or make it offensive. (You knew there had to be a catch, right?)

We're going to pick the winners at random from the entrants: Don't be afraid that your mini-monologue won't match up with the other frogmouths on this lily pad of louts.

As long as you put in a 10 to 400- word ramble in the comments box, you're eligible to win (gobbledygook and curse words will disqualify you unless you're the ghost of Hunter S. Thompson). We'll also highlight our favorite entries on the site.

The entry period is from August 25 at 9 a.m. (E.S.T.) to September 10 at 6 p.m. (E.S.T.). We'll pick the winners on Sept. 13.

For all of the official rules, read this page.

Let's make that a little more forceful:
