I Get Distracted
There I am, ready to start sorting through the hundreds and hundreds of photos I took in Vermont, and I come across one, and for some reason, it catches my eye, and then I spend upwards of an hour making it look like it would have looked if I knew anything about photography in the first place. Whee!

Why don't you or Chris take a very mundane or abstract shot and see how far you can manipulate it into something else without it looking like it was obviously photoshopped?
You can both use the same shot and the winner gets an old Mandatory Friends flier!
Great idea! But it wouldn't be fair. Chris is a Photoshop expert, and I use the same three steps every time. Mostly to make my crow's feet seem less...chasmlike.
OK, here's an idea then...
You both photograph the same mundane object/subject, but as creatively/untraditionally as you can while still coming up with a quality image. (No PS allowed beyond "traditional" darkroom cleanup.)
I think it would be interesting to see what the two of you come up with.
I'm not up for a contest. But I think it would be fun to both shoot something and she how we each interpret the subject. I think that is more educational and interesting than competing to see who takes the best photo....whatever that means!
Now that I think about it, I have never liked competitive art. In fact, as soon as artists compete using their work, it is no longer art, in my opinion. The art becomes a commodity. There is nothing wrong with that. I just like to keep them seperate as much as I can afford.
I agree 100% Chris, the interesting part would be to see what each of you does differently (and perhaps why).
