....there was brief silence as Sir Toby's booming voice echoed down the
stone corridors of the Committee's room, and then a subdued hubbub as
the collected Committee members paused to consider his suggestion that
the Theme of the next Round be New Year's Fantasy Resolutions. The idea
was not without merit, given the time of year. But then Steve spoke up:

    "Fantasy Resolutions certainly have their attractions. But the new
    Year is already behind us, and this Round may not end for some time,
    by which time the time of New year's resolutions may well have
    passed us by. Furthermore, I feel that this suggestion neglects the
    numerical significance of the next Round, which is to be Round 200.
    I therefore suggest that the Theme of the next Round be
    'Bicentennial Celebrations'. Let us make our New Year's Fantasy
    resolutions during *this* Round, while the New year is still in its
    infancy. For myself, I resolve to spread the fame of the FRC as far
    as I can, and to do my best to become Judge and Wizard for some
    other Round as well as, or instead of, Round 200, so that I can try
    out another Theme I've had in mind for a while, and Judge the
    resulting submissions...
