Chris,
That was great. I'm still rolling on the floor. Must be that winter is  
finally draining on the brain a little to much.

Elle,
I don't know if I could sit  down and just try to come up with some of  
these. It would take a lot  of rum to get me in the correct frame of mind.
Then,  
you never  know what could come to my sick twisted rum soaked mind.

The Post runs or used to run these  contests regularly under  the 
heading of "Style  Invitational"

Here's a link to recent   ones:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/24/AR200912
2401947.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/12/24/ST20091224
02052.html?sid=ST2009122402052

and   a link to a listing of recent Style   Invitationals:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/03/25/LI200503
2501843.html

You'll   have to register if you aren't but it doesn't seem to cause   any
harm.

They used to be in the Sunday paper (which is the only  one  we go out 
and buy) but they evidently now run on Saturdays. I  didn't  realize 
how much I missed them.

Thanks,  Rummy.
