Genie & I have been having a little conversation via PM about the theme for the 2003 Mudcat calendar.

To explain I replied:

"I'm probably going to do a collage of related photos for each month, so the more the merrier. Any theme, or no theme, or even Art Thieme, will do (grin)"

Genie then asked what kind of costume she would need to be Art Thieme, and I told her:

Now that is a question and a half! It almost warrants its own thread. I'm sure that there is a humongous amount of ways to interpret Art Thieme. You could do an *art* theme I suppose, but that would be too simple. You could dress as a condom, in deference to his notorious condom thread.

To which Genie replied that she couldn't understand why dressing as a condom had anything to do with Art Thieme.

Okay, so now I am about to refresh the notorious condom thread

and educate (or eddificate - it's all in the accent on the third syllable) the newcomers about the inimitable Art Thieme.

Further eddification is thoroughly encouraged. Eddificate away, oh ye worldly wise Mudcatters.
