A CALL UNANSWERED (GATEMOUTH, I'm talkin' to you!) -- by Steve Nadis
What happened to the Bumper Sticker contest announced last month? Who are the winners? What are the prizes? I'm sure these and similar questions have been coursing through your heads over the past three-and-a-half weeks since the March 30 announcement. The answer is this: It hardly seems like a Bumper Sticker contest without our perennial champion, Gatemouth, joining in. So this is a time of humility for me. I'm on my knees begging Gatemouth to send in his entries for which, no doubt, he will be duly rewarded. Please Gatemouth, an important tradition is depending on you. And surely we cannot let too another "important tradition" go down the drain, along with phonebooth stuffing, goldfish swallowing, and the like. As James Jones once said (or was it James Joyce?): There's a subtle difference between man and beast--a thin red line known as "THE FIRST ANNUAL APRIL FOOL'S DAY BUMPER STICKER SWEEPSTAKES."
