HI,
Okay...they were having problems with sites/etc. for the Miss America (I  
think?) pageant(s).
 
Maybe the time is done for those contests and it is time for one for  tenured 
academics:
 
The Dandy Competition
 
What are the categories?  What are the rules?  Which academic  institutions 
are allowed?  Is there a separate Dandy Competition for the  math/science types 
and another for the humanty/social science ones--and then the  top three from 
all get to compete?
 
Who are the judges?  Do we get some sort of audience  participation/voting, 
included, too?  
 
If Lit-Ideas takes this and runs with it--I bet we could find at least one  
or two networks to bid on it...If we write this up, I think we could find  
someone...in fact, at this conference, I met someone who has a  brother...hm.  
Let's see if we can figure this  out...<g>   It's slightly different from a 
reality show but the  time might be right...and we could each be consultants, 
at 
the very least,  right?
