So I'm Looking For A Trophy

[brandondrury]

I meant to do this 6 months ago.

I need a trophy for the Slate Digital Cup winner. Here's the deal. I don't want to buy one, necessarily. I could just order something, but that would KILL the fun. The LESS expensive the trophy, the better it probably is.

What I REALLY want is a mounted 6lb bass (fish) or so that I can put a 1" x 6" metal label engraving that says, "Slate Digital Cup 2012- Grand Champion" or whatever. THAT would be funny. Who has a mounted bass (fish) in their control room as a mixing contest trophy? No one!

I'm up for other options, but the LAST thing I want is a damn golden microphone on top of a trophy. That's what my mother in law would do. NO!

I'm imagining somewhere there is a yard sale with a ballerina on top of a trophy. THAT would be funny.

I'm up for basketball trophies, football trophies, etc but the more obscure (and ridiculous for this) the better. I'm not sure who would give up such items so I'm hoping that maybe some of you have hated ex-wives that you'd love to give away their precious "1997 Quilt Of The Year" award.

I'll gladly pay for shipping. I just can't find anything too good on Ebay at the moment and believe that humor and price are inversely proportional at this point.

I've got tons of Nascar stuff. Since it was "Winston Cup Style" contest.

You guys are on the right track. It is important not to overthink it otherwise you'll leave overthink prints all over it. The mounted fish thing was extremely funny, but you've already given that idea away. I have every confidence that you'll pick something great.

Yeah, I definitely showed a few cards in my hand, but I may have a few more up my sleeve.

I have a red barbed-wire "sculpture", in the shape of a guitar, with my name blazoned in the middle (that could be a deal killer). It's in my garage collecting dust. It was a "gift".

[Jeronimo Mora]

Signed picture of you in a dress. Fucking priceless.

What about one of those toilet roll doll things that my Grandma used to knit?

Holy hell! You've totally opened my eyes. I can see where this is going.

Assuming the first 6 months weren't a fluke, this trophy idea is turning more into a "What can I do to fHumble fHingaz?". In that context, things are getting very fun.

Could you mount a goldfish?

Could you mount a goldfish?

What about one of those disco shoes from the 70's that contain live goldfish?

I do think the "mounted dead creature" angle is almost a necessity.

Please don't ask me what I typed into Google to find those. I'm too busy running Virus Checker......

[Big Al Rocks]

OMG. The 3rd Place trophy has me in hysterical fits of laughter. My wife thinks I'm f'ing insane.

Not cheap, but suitable...

I've got this. I made it with my own little hands when I was 17. It's quite small (about 3 inches), it's quite ugly, there's absolutely no use to it and it's definitely something noone would like to receive. There is the possibility to write something on the base, but not too big.

Brandon, it's all yours if you like.

PS: forgot to mention, it's all in metal.

Sounds like Woody Allen's penis!

That thing is dope dude.

Yeah, that's the point of this incredible piece of ....nothing I suppose.

[kakeux]

forgot to say that there is some rust. It gives it an authentic look.

[brandondrury]

These are all thunderous ideas. Choosing the right one is VERY difficult. All of 'em are great!

Just write the winning users name on it in chalk and laminate it.
