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?
Always thinking of distractions,
