He strolled through the Nevada Union High School quad Wednesday, peering at all the long-legged beauties through his retro-cool aviator sunglasses.

He didn't exactly part the throng of students, but Drew Bailey pulled in plenty of stares, both from the young women leery of what one student called a publicity stunt and from those who might actually try for an evening with a man seemingly driven to prove he's the school's most eligible prom date.

In recent days, Nevada Union has been speckled with fliers promoting Bailey's plan to hold open auditions - "all classes welcome" - for a date to the May 15 senior ball.

This morning, Bailey will assemble a panel of "judges" who will ask such probing questions as, "Do you prefer sourdough or French bread?" to determine the winner of an all-expense-paid trip to the prom.

3. Remember M*A*S*H when Hawkeye held the contest for the date with him?

All the nurses ganged up on him and submitted an entry and made him look like a fool. I remember Nurse Kelly saying some like, "Now you can say you've been had by the entire nursing staff."

Something like that needs to happen to this guy to bring him down a peg or three.

Edit - upon further review, maybe the kid's just being a smartass and I should lighten up. :P
