Talking about the choice of Signorino illustrations over in ATMB got me to thinking… it would be really cool to win a chance to be a guest illustrator for one column of the Straight Dope - be seen in every alternative weekly across the country! I’d definitely jump into that one.  
How about you guys? What kind of SD contest would you enter? And no, I don’t mean “win a date with [your favorite SDMB denizen here]” type of things… or even “Meet Cecil Adams” 'cos we know that’s not gonna happen. 🙂

You mean like “The Norm” cartoon does on Sunday, where he prints drawings of his characters people mail to him?

It’s just a way to fill space. Only funny the first time.

**Fonz** , thanks for replying so quick 🙂 actually this belongs over in MPSIMS, so I reposted over there.

Moderator, can I get a lock on this one?
