Have You Ever Gotten A Trophy?

Recommended Posts

My son has so many trophies, we had to break them up...first and seconds for riding, are now in our living room, first second and thirds for Martial arts/riding in the hallway, baseball trophies ,and lower martial arts awards in his bedroom...

We love it when they give out medals instead!

That's great for your son! :)
I guess it's true....you always want what you don't have. I have a handful of medals...but want a trophy. He has a bunch of trophies and you'd rather have medals. :P

Photo bucket is being a pain tonight...I was going to show the broken leg too...plus him bailing upside down from over 20 feet up...but damn PB wont open my folders..

anyway, this was yesterday evening, he bailed way the fuck up, (my guess 15 feet off the ground) and ran it out...the kids gonna kick ass as a skydiver when he is old enough! PLF's? Ha...natural habit for him! Might have soemthing to do with the 138 jumps my wife made while preggers with him!:ph34r:

I once won Employee Of The Year at work, along with EVERY single other employee. Earlier that year we went through a huge economic slump and we all were put on a four day work week, with a 20% cut in pay. Management seriously thought if we all got little trophys with Employee Of The Year written on it we would forget the sacrifice.

I also got a bronze 3rd place medal in 10-way at a regional competition. It was a pick-up team and there were only three teams competing in 10-way, but I had that hanging from the rear-view mirror in my car for years.

I think Maybe Boinky is a very bored self-help group leader. Thanks for the boost of confidence, man. I'm going out tomorrow a new man. :P

Yeah once you fall a few times from height you learn damn fast what works and what dosent. That or you just don make it very far in said sport. Ive taken many hard falls while skating. Nothin like realising mid way through a trick that youre fucked then acually having time to think about how much this is going to suck. And maybe do somethig to make it suck less. Haha

-go kart trophy, 1st place on a race. I am a BAD racer, the others were even worse :D
-skydiving trophies. At my former club, there was a yearly trophy for "the most paying jumps of the season", got that one once. Another yearly trophy I had was the best overall scoring for participants in all the Club's competitions.
-sailing trophy: trophy for "best entertainer" (Wonder how we got that one clicky)

more importantly, what if you don't have a mantle to put your trophies on?



I can't believe you have been passed over for so long!

YOU BUILD ONE!
My reality and yours are quite different.

Lots of running trophies. Some of them with actual meaning from placing in states, etc. and some for age group placings at small po-dunk road races.

I also have some from swimming when I was growing up.

Most of said trophies are still at my folks house, I don't get anything out of displaying them.

I was a swimmer for 11 years growing up and earned quite a few trophies. I ended up tearing off all the name plates and ditching most of them. One of them was the "teammate award". Basically, it's an award for being cheerful and nice. :ph34r:

If there's sarcasm meant here, I'm going to choose to ignore it! :P

Bored? Nah. I would love to be some sort of self-help leader. Maybe I could give Dr. Phil a run for his money? :D Go forth and earn a trophy, medal or a pat on the back for a good job! B|
