The Style Invitational
 
 
Dear Loser, Aspiring Loser or General Hanger-On:

We show you five Rorschach-type ink blots, made with genuine inking and blotting by Style Invitational Big Deal Artist Bob Staake. And you tell us what funny thing you see in one or more of them.

We promise not to psychoanalyze you. Publicly, anyway.

Plus we have the winning funny poems that include spelling bee words like "ochlocracy" and "epitaxis." And they STILL manage to be crude. It's the Invite way: haughty/potty.

Especially if you plan to enter the ink blot contest, check out my online column The Style Conversational, where I share the results of our three previous ink blot contests, which ran way back in 1993-96. They might not be anywhere else on the Web.
