Yeah. I think a coaster from the London meetup venue is a perfect prize. What? you said poster? Huh? Wait? Holster? Roaster? Toaster? Hmmm, maybe just the Glory will do...afterall, it IS all about the craft....Thanks for the funny premise, Mikee.

I would sure like to think that serious Dr. Kim would consider inclusion of the winner of this esteemed competition. With the winner of the previous, short story one being about stalking Leonard and all... in a whole host of creative silliness... I would hope that the winner of this year's wouldn't be banished because of the silliness of the premise. We'll see. I've heard rumours that Leonard has a sense of humour, which might even extend to what's silly. Some might argue that the premise of this contest is quite serious :wink: .

If you want to run with it, run with it, liz. You are the expert.

The fact it is based on a Photograph puts the context into question and gawd help us if you suggest that the photo of the wanted man should be included in the event booklet to help explain the lot. Go for it.
Or maybe you could just drop it?

I'm not entering the contest so it matters not to me personally. I'm just giving my two cents on the validity of making this something official given the irreverent and confusing nexus.

maybe you could just drop it..........

Why a reasonable response constitutes running with it, who knows... especially when "expert" keeps appearing.

A shame you're not entering, given your concern with your questions.

It's a photograph. It's amusing. It elicits humour. Nuff said.

Nuff said, except that I've heard rumours that Leonard has a sense of humour, including possibly extending to the silly.

Did I read something here about self-promotion? Was that directed at me? :roll:

Okay, maybe a random photo of a random criminal should be included in the Event booklet? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone

Humor is not in question. The nexus to the humor is...

A funny contest could be held that does not include the need for a criminal's photograph be published...good grief

Are you hinting that we must not write anything that might offend his sensibilities?
