If it was the winner's bottom, I'd have to wonder if the loser is still running.<BR/><BR/>My personal favorite trophies are the ones from equestrian events. Stick a beautifully sculpted silver, gold or crystal horse on it and I might even like the NASCAR ottoman/beer keg style trophy.<BR/><BR/>They use the silver tray style trophy a lot in riding events too, but for me to truly appreciate those, they'd have to have a well drawn horse engraved on them.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293194264796259149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-46781829941839402482008-07-05T18:56:00.000-07:002008-07-05T18:56:00.000-07:00Hey!

On AOL, there's a photo journal of the Wiliams sisters with all their Grand Slam trophies--eight each--and they are gorgeous! Silver and gold trays, regular silver trophies and crystal bowls! Grand! Made me think of "Just like a bull in a China Shop," for the PBR trophy.

I wonder whose bottom the basketball trophy was removed from--the winner or the loser?<BR/><BR/>Some of the most beautiful trophies are from tennis and golf. Some are silver trays which are always useful for serving champagne. Plus they would be easy to hang with a plate hanger. But, I really love the ones made from glass or maybe crystal. Nice. But then, I do enjoy the finer things in life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-62123198284219155822008-06-30T16:56:00.000-07:002008-06-30T16:56:00.000-07:00"I wish I was joking about that too, however, poss...<I>"I wish I was joking about that too, however, possibly this explains why the trophies are out of proportion.

The Nascar trophy looks like a cross between a naugahyde ottoman and a beer keg. That can't be coincidental. I have a raft of reasons for disliking NASCAR, one of which is The Hooter's Cup (I wish I were joking).<BR/><BR/>About a million years ago I worked in a hospital pathology lab. We got all kinds of tissue specimens and even the occasional foreign object removed from patients. One day I got a call to come to the lab to see a specimen that had just been removed from a patient in the E.R. The specimen bucket was on the counter with the lid on. Upon the specimen slip was the description: "Object removed from anus." One of the techs opened the lid and there stood a basketball trophy with a glittering golden basketball perched delicately upon the fingers of the upraised arm. I wish I was joking about that too, however, possibly this explains why the trophies are out of proportion. Nothing small enough for the average pinhead to stick in their ear or whatever.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293194264796259149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-73282914424154521762008-06-30T13:19:00.000-07:002008-06-30T13:19:00.000-07:00You're right, and I also thought about talking abo...You're right, and I also thought about talking about the buckles they hand out to the PBR winners and to rodeo champions, but I decided to stick with trophies, mostly because the belt thing would mean I'd never finish carping on the subject. I wonder if those belts are real, or if they're made of plastic and gold foil?Stockyard Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036587088523124787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-20758205748446432292008-06-30T13:15:00.000-07:002008-06-30T13:15:00.000-07:00You coulda included all of boxing's belts, which r...You coulda included all of boxing's belts, which revel in their own blinged out wretched excessiveness.Jenny Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873649194078077628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-66593622862489361732008-06-30T12:25:00.000-07:002008-06-30T12:25:00.000-07:00Yes, it's usually what comes out of his mouth that...Yes, it's usually what comes out of his mouth that makes me not want to look at him again for a while.

My goodness--why is it that people think bigger is better? I agree with you, the proportions are awful! While looking at the pictures, I found myself wondering the same thing I do when I see a truly awful tv commercial: "Someone actually signed off on this?".<BR/><BR/>As an Olympic fan, I must say that I much prefer medals. I've been lucky enough to see two (one from Australia, 2000 and one from Athens, 2004) and they were simply beautiful. Too bad they couldn't just stick to those. <BR/><BR/>PS. I think Justin has a handsome face--as long as it's a still shot and not him making a conceited comment, I can handle it ;)shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917315124069408543noreply@blogger.com
