Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Most awesome stuff you have won.

When I was 9, in my first year at boarding school, I won the dormitory prize for tidiest bed-making - it was a bar of chocolate.
When I was 14, I won £25 (current equivalent, ~$750, I guess) from Pfizer, who gave it to the school to award to the most promising science pupil.
When I was 17, I got the highest mark awarded that year in any class in the Kent Music Festival, for my performance of Grieg's piano piece 'To the Spring'. But another boy got his picture in the paper, not me, because he'd won several classes - boo, chiz!
Since then it's been all downhill, through I did win a free dinner for two in the raffle at my work's Christmas do two years ago.

Oh I guess I have won stuff for art. In first grade I won a ribbon for a painting of a horse, and when I was in 10th grade I got an honorable mention for a self portrait. In 12th grade I won, with another self portrait. The teacher liked us to do yearly self portraits because he thought it showed "growth as people and as artists." Blah. Oh well, someone liked them.
This possibly the most immodest photo ever taken of me, and I'm a figure model.
I mainly thought of this because of what Andy was saying about art shows. I have seen a few of her drawings and thought they were really good. Judging art is really subjective, but there are times when I wonder what the judges were thinking. I looked around and saw things my classmates had done that were awesome, next to much less interesting art that received an award. I entered the show every year and the only times I ever won anything was when I did something boring like portraits or paintings of ponies. In high school, a young Thomas Kinkade would be considered awesome.

you (guys) willing to sell that?
Alex C:
Nah, my brother loves that damn thing. Also, Benellis are heavy as shit, for real. I don't really recommend one, even if the damn thing does never jam.
Unless you're hunting pterodactyls. Then the whole reliability thing is probably a bigger deal.

you should always assume pterodactyl hunting will be involved somehow.
