Ross, I think the obvious way to settle this is a Cut-Throat Quizzo Tournament at Abbraccio. Glenn, vs, Melani, vs, Tony West in a battle of the minds. After that, there will be a "crank" contest that will allow the spectators vote on who has the "most crank like" answers to a series of questions from "Who killed JFK?" to "List the five most salient down-sides of the building of the Panama Canal" -- at the end the person with the highest quizzo score and lowest crank score will be voted off the island. The winner (with the highest intelligence and least crank-like) will be appointed "real community leader".
A part of the profits from spectator food and drink sales could be donated to a local charity; once we all agree on a worthy one. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ross Bender Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 10:52 AM To: Glenn Cc: University City List Subject: Re: [UC] Out of the Ivory Tower and Into the Streets On 6/12/07, Glenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ask Tony and Melani if I captured the basic idea. Those are the types of community leaders Penn looks to use because of their personality issues and limited intelligence. Penn would not deal with the real leaders among the people but sought to replace these folks with the cranks. Glenn, I was following you most of the way until you had to toss in the gratuitous insults of Tony and Melani. Dude, there's really no need for it. We all have our unique personality issues, including me, and "intelligence" is a relative thing. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
