Whatever you're doing at the Agape Dinner ... keep it up; don't change a thing. "Rowdy" is good. If there is a God (and please remember I am a hardshelled agnostic) then He would care more greatly for human mirth than for any amount of correctness or rectitude.
There's that word again...

Well Kid Rock wasn't a very good judge.

First: Out of 8 judges, I was one of two males and the other one got preoccupied that everyone had dependant and indepentant variables backwards and then they all figured out they didn't have them backwards and I thought to myself "who cares".

We were supposed to split up into groups - I stayed alone.

We were each supposed to do a set and come back and I said there is no way that is fair as every judge will have different scores on a different scales and unless we judge all of them it would not be fair. They pointed out that there were a lot and it would take all night and so I became very quiet and continued on.

There were parents that actually had participants but they weren't going to judge there own childrens'.

After 2 or three I came very less interested in the experiment itself because the points we were rewarding were for thigns that were both redundant and insignificant:
How decorative was it.
How organized was the presentation etc..
Really lame ass questions.

It wasn't immediatly obvious who spent a lot of time and who did it the night before and therefore a lot of the "finalists" were not that good. The children were not there for us to interview so we could not really tell if they really knew the material or their parents did it for them.

The winning entry was a college level study of some pshycology thing about colors, or something like that.

I was the most generous - 1 ladies highest total was less than my lowest total.

The Agape Dinner story was a riot and a pretty good indication
that you'll do just fine going into your Quadrant 4.
