Once you beat a team so bad you can tell the other team's parents are going home and beating them and not letting them play xbox until they get their layups straighten out, you will never need a physical trophy again. The Screams and the same from the losing team couples by the glorious overeating to numb their feeling of failure is trophy enough.

Excellent point.

Another excellent point.

However, I've found that the medals really impress people who don't know that everyone gets medals. There are a lot of post-race lunch waitresses who think I'm elite, and that's not a bad thing.

What I think would be cool at a race would be to give awards to people who set a new personal record in the race. The more I think about it, that would be an awesome marketing tool, and people would eat it up.

I have no problem with this. That's why they have "Most Improved" awards and the like. You achieved something. You didn't just show up to "play" baseball and stand in the outfield looking at butterflies.

Rainman cleaning up in the medal count like Pre-Steroid testing East German Female Olympians!

Now that I think about it, we should have a ChiefsPlanet Varsity team and give out letters.

I officially designate you captain and place you in charge of the project!

(I think a nice stylized CP next to a user's name would work wonders for the self esteem!)

Non-running chicks dig me. At some point I'm hoping to find an Olympic Bronze Medal at a pawn shop.

Can I base the letter jacket design on the fisty mctatt tattoo?

I have a little pal who has been doing 4-6 events in Special Olympics for over a decade. He has a neck of chains that gives Mr T penis envy. I could probably hook you up.

Katipan 07-30-2014 12:33 PM

I'd rather have a CP shirt ;)

We can both put on all of our medals and then go to Chili's together.

You're in charge! Get an icon sized version and I'll put it next to your name so you can show the pleebs what they get if they make the team.

I've always liked Rain Man. Excellent call, as always, AustinChief!

... someone wants a letter.

Rain Man 07-30-2014 12:40 PM

People won't get a letter for just showing up. They'll have to actively participate in polls and tournaments, among other things.
