If TC were a competitive reality show, and only one of us, at the end, could be declared a winner of a contest...

1. What would be the contest?
2. What would be your strategy?
3. What should be the prize?
4. Who do you think would win?

3. the prize depends on whether or not i'm the winner.

1. there should be at least one drag episode.

1. What would be the contest?

Each of us would have to guest teach a class in RA's freshman English Lit course without being told the day's subject beforehand.

2. What would be your strategy?

Relate any and all works of literature back to Lewis Carroll, who makes no sense anyway.

3. What should be the prize?

A wheel of Wisconsin cheddar.

4. Who would win?

Lobstergirl, who will wear a mask at all times and then disappear in a puff of smoke, taking her cheese with her.

1. A combination obstacle course, literary trivia quiz, painting and sculpture identification, and crafts competition. The obstacle course would include changing Leah's full diaper while riding sidesaddle. The literary quiz would include questions on steampunk, Foucault, and the Bible (LDS edition). The painting identification would include


and


The crafts competition would include making a perfect dovetail, knitting a penis pillow, and sewing or weaving a kilt for Kevin.

2. My strategy would be to feed delicious Listeria-infested artisanal cheeses to all the other participants at a wine and cheese party the night before.

3. First Prize would be a date with Timothy Geithner. Second Prize would be a free colonoscopy, or breast reduction. Third Prize, this very lifelike, but not alive, doll.

Honorable Mention, a beautiful trophy with your name, but misspelled.

4. I can't see into the future!

Clark and I would win. No questions asked. TC Dream Team, baby. all of that arguing is only a part of the strategy.

But the Dubuffet isn't a painting at all (and the Thomas Hart Benton is a bit obvious).

Painting and sculpture.

Well, we'll see how obvious the penis pillow is then. Get out your needles.

The perfect dovetail is best made with a router and jig. As for the pillow, I think Britt's suggestion of two-person teams is a good idea, and for anything involving knitting obviously I'd pick Gretchen. Then again, considering the array of promised trophies, winning might not be such a good idea...

Heh, Leah's diaper.

Good luck, sucakas.

I don't know where this idea of teams is coming from. This is an individual competition, as RA says uptop. Practice your penis stitch, everybody!

Jiggity jig jig.

That dovetails with my idea of a jig.

Hah!

Jackie and TawNub would be neck n neck to win - they seem to win most debates in these parts. That's my prediction. Ladies, you best pull out the clothespins to protect your noses. Sally has plans for you.

i want sarah pi as my partner

You're on. I hope you're good with the carpentry side of things. I'll rock the trivia!

1. What would be the contest?
Dance Off Pants Off!!!

2. What would be your strategy?
Strategic Skirt Wearing and spastic 80's style dancing. My opponent would be rendered helpless with laughter.

3. What should be the prize?
Getting to know Lobstergirl's true identity

4. Who do you think would win?
If I can partner with Kevin in his fruit hat, I've got it in the bag... :)

i'll out-spaz you!

Can I just bully my way into a win?

i suggest you bribe us to give you the win using bear hugs.

I shall glomp the whole lot of you!

Some portion should be scrabble related. Jim will win, but I have a fair shot with SP and Kevin, we're pretty evenly matched. Otherwise, I'm just a butt in a chair...

PS, I much prefer Barb's prize ideas.

Fair shot? You OWN me in scrabble

Just the last two games...before that you trounced me a few times in a row as I recall. SP wins more than I do, but at least I have a shot. Jim, that's another story all together. I NEVER win with Jim. :(

I want to play scrabble with TCers!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been able to get into Scrabble for a week or more now!

Where do y'all play?

Words With Friends

Y'all can play on pogo.com, y'all know that, right?

Bring it on, Britt! I'm on Words With Friends for iphone, or Facebook. Take your pick! :) I love games...all games.

I like WWF or FB, because I can play my go from my phone. I don't often go online at home.

The TC game show should include a bicycle riding challenge and a ping-pong tournament.

and some sort of dewey decimal based task

Ping-pong sounds like fun, but I fall off of bicycles. It's funny, but not at the same time. I tend to fall off of horses as well. I think I might have a balance problem.

we should team up. i suck at ping pong, but i'm good with bicycles and have never fallen off a horse.

I'm quite good at quarters.

I used to be really good, back in the day. I haven't bounced a quarter in YEARS!

Did you play with the "Drink, Drank, Drunk" rule?

Can't say I've heard of that rule. Please explain.

Well, you continue on with quarters as normal, but anyone who says the words "Drink, Drank or Drunk" has to drink. This becomes increasingly difficult the more you drink as whenever you land a quarter your first instinct is to point at someone and shout "DRINK!" triumphantly... Just one of those fun twists that get you tanked faster. :) Ah, the old days.

You will Amy, I have just been on a lucky stretch.

He always gives me hope...
