BBQ Gi-norm-ic Grand Finale
It's the moment everyone has been waiting for...the Gi-norm-ic (which is a combo word for gigantic and enormous!) Grand Finale of the Big Boston Quiz. It's been a fun summer of questions and answers and one week from today we are going to announce the BBQ Grand Champion!
As I posted last week, it is a tight race, with only 8 points separating the top two. And with 100 points on the line this week, it is anybody's guess who'll win. Here are the standings once again:
+Steve Smyth--58 points
+Sue Pelletier--50 points
+Amy Hilson--20 points
+Kimberly Mosely-10 points
This week, I'm going to change things up on you completely. NO questions, NO answers. Just your thoughts on a very important question. That's right, it is the dreaded Essay Final Exam-edition of BBQ! (Yes, don't you just love me...;.) All submissions received by this Friday, August 11, 2006 at 5 pm EDT will be considered. Please send them to bigbostonquiz@gmail.com. And don't forget that the top three finishers will receive a "lovely" prize, so there's no reason not to submit something. You never know where you might end up in the standings. (BTW, I've already been mocked about the lovely prizes, so why stop now!)

Okay, here is your very special final essay question:
What I love best about ASAE & The Center coming to Boston is...
Now, there are a few parameters you'll need to follow in preparing your essay.:
1. It must be no less than 75 words and no more than 125 words in length and it must have an original title. (By that, I mean don't call it "BBQ Grand Finale Essay" or something like that.)
2. It must include something you learned from EACH of the previous five BBQs. (It is a final exam after all!)
3. Originality and style, as well as spelling and grammar, will be considered by the judges (well, the judge :>).
4. Suitability for publication on the blog will be considered as well, since the overall winner's essay will be posted in this space next week.
I like finishing up this way because it gives you a chance to express your excitement about the ASAE & The Center Annual Meeting (less than two weeks away), rather than simply answering a bunch of trivia questions. I know it is a little bit more work and that's why I'm giving you more time, i.e., Friday submission instead of Thursday.
I very much look forward to receiving your essays. This is it folks! We will know the winner next week!
