Since "Miss Manners," as someone once so aptly coined her, is constantly reminding us which articles she deems unbizarre, I say we should go all out. Let's have a LEAST BIZARRE PERSON contest. I personally nominate Judith Abrams, who's repeated admonishments I find as bizarre as the graph of x = 0. As a prize, I'd like to award her a lifetime supply of pinapple and Canadian bacon pizzas, and some deep dish w/saurkraut pizza from Shane P. McCarron as an added bonus. On behalf of Joe Szep, here at Boston University, we'd also like to nominate Rich Rosen. His flaming of what is a very serious and formidable programming language (Punk Programming Language) may have been bizarre in itself, but for Rich, flaming is so run of the mill that I'd start to think it bizarre if he ever stopped. As a prize we could have him test out a giant version of one of those sticky mouse traps....
