Great idea! How big would Paris Hilton's Cup be?

What are you insinuating Chris? We are all somewhat barmy. Admittedly
there could be a seasonal magnification of this condition but with
global warming it will probably smooth out.

But seriously, I think we should consider initiating a Paris Hilton Cup
to increase public awareness of the sport and generate participation
among youth. Many young people who are silently crying out for
inspiration and leadership might look to a glamorous pop icon like
Paris Hilton as a "Pied Piper" of sorts, potentially bringing legions
of fresh impressionable teenagers to gliderports. The badge program
just doesn't appeal to the modern "bling" generation. Give them
something to really work for like a date with Ms. Hilton upon first
solo or a fashionable tiny nervous dog as reward for successfully
landing out at the shopping mall. These dogs would add a lot of
awesomeness to the otherwise boring atmosphere of your typical soaring
flightline and would seldom if ever get caught up in towplane
propellers due to their small stature.

Yes, I think we are on to something here! We need to form a committee
and have representatives from the SSA and BGA approach the Hilton
family ASAP.
