All's Well That Ends Swell: The classic Shakespearean comedy about generational collision and the nature of love. Mickey Rooney plays Bertram. Pulp Friction: Everything you want to know about electric juicers, and more. Zero stars. Nude Rockne, All American: This X-rated version of the classic puts the dame back in Notre Dame. The Pig and the Pendulum: An early attempt to mechanize a slaughterhouse turns into a real horror story. Rated R. Extreme violence. This week's contest: Take any real book or movie, change one word
slightly, and describe the resulting new product. First-prize winner gets
a T-shirt commemorating the famous 1998 Loserpalooza brunch in Annapolis
organized by Style Invitational regulars -- Chuck Smith, Jennifer Hart and
Russell Beland et al. -- which Gov. Parris Glendening agreed to attend.
But then he canceled! But they had already made him a Loser T-shirt that
says "Gov" on the back! You win that shirt! It's priceless. It was donated
by John Kammer, Sandra Hull and Jonathan Paul. First runner-up wins the
tacky but estimable Style Invitational Loser Pen. Other runners-up win the
coveted Style Invitational Loser T-shirt. Honorable mentions get the
mildly sought- after Style Invitational bumper sticker. Send entries via
fax to 202- 334-4312, or by e-mail to losers@washpost.com. U.S. mail
entries are no longer accepted due to rabid, spit-flying fanaticism.
