Magister Ludi (5): Holier Hoes

By: Patrick Cates
April 26, 2010

As your Elitism Guard, I am responsible for administering Digital Serum, sending Turgid Emails and presiding over Mad Liturgies. In this challenge, however, I am going to lead you through a Digerati Slum. I have taken 40 HiLo Heroes and deviously translated them into Holier Hoes. Your job is to convert them back again and save them from whimsical obscurity.

***

The rubric:

  1. Of the 40 Holier Hoes, 35 of them are HiLo Heroes featured on HiLobrow.com. 5 of them are Heroically Hilobrovian candidates who never quite made it on to the site.
  2. The Lusor Ludi who correctly converts the most Holier Hoes will be crowned Victor Ludi.
  3. The Victor Ludi will win a copy of The Idler’s Glossary (signed and personally dedicated by co-author and HiLobrow.com editor, Joshua Glenn).
  4. In the event that there is a tie for first place, a tie-breaking question will be set and posted soon after the competition closes. The winner of this tie-breaker will be crowned Victor Ludi.
  5. Lusores Ludi should email their answers to me by 9PM EST on Sunday 2 May.
