Just having a little fun with the instructions to the contest.  

Plato to Aristotle….”you made your bed, now sleep in it” Aristotle to Plato….”if you lie down with dogs expect to arise with fleas” Plato to Aristotle….”Ekphrasis makes strange bedfellows” Aristotle to Plato….”never wake a sleeping blog” Plato to Aristotle….”no matter how you slice it, it’s still baloney” Aristotle to Plato…”sleep tight – don’t let the bedbugs bite” Plato to Aristotle…”ever slept on a bed of roses?” Aristotle to Plato….”required some thorny removal” Plato to Aristotle…”let us remove ourselves to the fireplace and look at some pictures” Aristotle to Plato….”Yeah, but don’t go asking them any questions”
