This week's contest: Lisa Linske-O'Connell of Rockville wrote the Empress to suggest a contest "inspired by my beautiful over-6-foot- tall younger sister. Whenever men ask her, as they often rudely do, if she plays basketball, she has always wanted to respond, 'No, are you a jockey?' " Lisa wonders if the Greater Loser Community could come up with original snide retorts to various rude questions or comments. (This is actually pretty much the same contest as Week 128, "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions," Sept. 17, 1995. But as we just said: Original. Not those.)

The winner receives the Inker, the official Style Invitational trophy. First runner-up gets a super-cool six-foot-tall inflatable palm tree that the Empress bummed off the Washington Post TV writers after they'd received two of them in a promotion for some show or other.

Other runners-up win a coveted Style Invitational Loser T-shirt. Honorable mentions get one of the lusted-after Style Invitational Magnets. One prize per entrant per week. Send your entries by e- mail to losers@washpost.com or, if you really have to, by fax to 202- 334-4312. Deadline is Monday, May 9.

No purchase required for entry. Employees of The Washington Post, and their immediate relatives, are not eligible for prizes. Pseudonymous entries will be disqualified. The revised title for next week's contest is by Phyllis Reinhard of East Fallowfield, Pa.

Report from Week 604, our annual contest to "breed" horses culled from the list of eligible entries for this year's Triple Crown races, and name their offspring: As usual, we were deluged with several thousand entries, many from people who enter the Invitational every year for just this one contest. Some very fine entries were sent in by four or (many) more people; some of them are in the box below. Note: You just may find your very own horse name among the winners below, without your very own human name on it. It's almost inevitable with that many entries and one pair of increasingly glazed eyeballs. But look: If you're so interested in a fair shake, then why were you playing around with racehorses?
