Our Simon

[Benjamin J Barrett]

On the Dave Ross show on 710 KIRO, Bill Press used the word "Simon" to
mean judge this morning.

I'm paraphrasing from memory, but he said something like, "Would you be
our Simon?" when asking the producer or director to judge his name the
beer-drinking bear contest.

The first thing that went through my head was trying to figure out a
connection to Simon Says, but then I woke up to the glory and
realization of popular culture. May Simon Cowell live forever in
greatness.
