If there isn’t a trophy for “Best Trophy Maker,” then there should be

Maybe they just award him a ribbon.

So today's Sametime Status comes to you courtesy of one of those lunchtime conversations you have with coworkers that just goes completely off the rails.  

Not long ago, we were discussing the time-honored tradition of rewarding achievements with trophies, and how the concept has gotten completely watered down in recent times.  We all know that now, everybody gets a trophy just for participating so that they feel good about themselves and assume they did a god job no matter how horrendously they actually did.  The Wussification of America, if you will....and I do.  

It got me thinking if there was a group of people that adjudicates how well trophy makers do their jobs.  You can find trophies for just about anything, from spelling, to debating, cooking, sports, even Reading.  No, you do not get a trophy for reading my Blag.  You get the satisfaction of a job well done, and of knowing you did your best.  

We don't have much of a budget here.

It would stand to reason that Some Trophy Makers are better than Others when it comes to aesthetics.  Since we give out trophies for everything else, why not have a trophy for best trophy?  Of course, if your trophy for the best trophy was your trophy, then you could ostensibly get to just take your own trophy and have turned the entire thing into a completely worthless exercise.

Much like reading this website.

I wouldn't say it was completely worthless.  This whole spiel was an excuse to post This Video, so it's not a total loss.
