you're lucky that i can watch the news and write macros at the same time so
here's the answer to your absurd request:
% output=pdftex
% a rather pervert and idiot style for g.b.
\definepapersize [idiot] [width=20cm,height=400cm]
\startsetups main
\setuppapersize
[idiot] [idiot]
\setuplayout
[height=middle,topspace=2cm,header=2cm,footer=2cm,
width=middle]
\stopsetups
\startsetups page
\setbox\normalpagebox=\vbox{\unvbox\normalpagebox}
\adddimenmacro
\ht\normalpagebox
2\topspace
\headerheight
\footerheight
\to \CrazyHeight
\definepapersize
[crazy] [width=20cm,height=\CrazyHeight]
\setuppapersize
[crazy] [crazy]
\stopsetups
\setups [main]
\prependtoks \setups [page] \to \mainoutput
\appendtoks \setups [main] \to \mainoutput
\starttext
% hm, i would like to use the not yet public fake
% text macros here -)
\dorecurse {6}
{\getrandomnumber \pervert {3} {5}
\dorecurse {\pervert}
{\input tufte
\placefigure {} {}
\getrandomnumber \evenmorepervert {1} {3}
\dorecurse {\evenmorepervert}
{\input tufte \par}}
\page }
\stoptext
