Pass this on for laughs. You have to scroll though all the
entries on the site to get all the humour - but none had
Greek or classical content, unfortunately.
Maybe an Hellenic challenger next time ...
with Doric columns and metopes ??

Pimp My Bookcart Contest Winners, part I
posted Monday, January 22, 2007 9:55:00 PM PST
This was a bigger deal than we anticipated. We thought our "Pimp my
Book Cart" contest was a funny idea that would spawn a dozen or so
entries. But it seemed to spark something, and we started hearing from
folks all over the country. It even spawned a "Pimp my Book Trolley"
contest Down Under in Australia (we're judging that one too).
Still, by last week we figured all the fuss had been just that, and
that it was still going to be just a few contenders. But then a few
days before the deadline, in a display of procrastination that
impressed Bill, they started pouring in. We ended up getting over 100.
Gene and I scrambled to organize and evaluate them (thanks, iPhoto!).
Several times at ALA we left our booth in the capable hands of our
store manager Jana so that we could look at almost 400 pictures of
book carts that had been pimped up, down, in, and out. Finally this
morning we reached agreement on the winner, several runners-up, and
many honorable mentions. In the next week we'll publish a mostly
complete list of the entries, but we didn't want to delay the big
announcement. And so, without further ado:
Grand Prize: Pink Cadillac by Katie George and the teens of the Miller
Branch Library in Ellicot City, MD
