| | | | | | Dear Loser, Aspiring Loser or General Hanger-On:
Do you open the paper every morning and say "Can't we have a redo?"
We can't help you with the election, but it is time for The Style Invitational's annual retrospective contest, in which you can enter any of the year's previous contests -- everything from cartoon captions to foal names to full-blown song parodies.
And we have the winning Tour de Fours neologisms, featuring the letter block NOVE (in any order). Like:
"Intravenous de Milo": Tragic victim of Greece’s first blood drive.
Or "Supine ova": How biologists order eggs sunny side up.
If you'd like to enter this week's contest, check out my column The Style Conversational for some more tips. And if you read to the very end, you'll see some Tour de Fours entries that were too crude even for the Invite.
