Your Attention, Please

A very important contest will now commence.

Let's call it the Mr./Ms. Millennium Contest.

Contestants will compete each month, on the blogosphere, in a pageant of sorts.

This month, you'll meet the candidates. We'll show your their baby pictures and tell you a little bit about each contestant.

Next month, we'll watch as the contestants vie to win the "Surfing the Millennium" challenge. In December, our brave three will compete in a talent competition. And in January, the contestants will attempt to answer common reference questions using Millennium at breakneck speed.

Then things will start to get crazy. In February, you will be the judge. Vote early and often for your favorite candidate, the person who embodies the true spirit of Millennium. The winner will be crowned Mr. or Ms. Millennium, and will be entrusted with a super cool t-shirt and the power to reign supreme over the kingdom of Cook.

Are you ready to meet the contestants? Stay tuned.
