> Many years ago, there was a institution of higher learning called the

> Artists School: they ran small black and white ads where you were urged to
> "Draw Winky" (or some such cartoon animal) and submit it to the school for
> an evaluation. Basically, if you were blindfolded and drew "Winky" with a
> pencil in your mouth, you were in. As a joke, a group of my friends sent in
> a stick-figure pencil sketch with a fake name and received the following
> reply, "Dear Herbert Swoze, We believe that your submission has merit, and
> are proud to welcome you as a student at the Famous Artists School." In
> other words, you couldn't miss.

> That's the same with the LUG yearbook: submit an image, and it's in the
> book. Simple as that. In the past five years EVERY IMAGE SUBMITTED HAS
> BEEN ACCEPTED! You can't go wrong, and as Dr. Ted noted you're in print in
> a book! So, shots from a war zone? Fine. Levitating nudes? Fine.
> Grandkids with digits up the proboscis? Fine, too. Moody shot of shadows
> on lawn furniture? Fine. You get the idea.
