Some people try so hard to be jerks that they should be recognised for their effort. Any suggestions for an award that I think is long overdue for those who are particularily adept at making life miserable for everyone else? ---

I suggest that it should be abust of Mark Serlin. ---

All I’m picturing right now is a nice bronzed bust of a man in a suit, with a large penis poking out of the collar. ---

This is the perfect “Jerk of the World” award right here. [http://www.DogDoo.com/BronzedDoo.htm](http://www.DogDoo.com/BronzedDoo.htm) ---

I don’t care what it looks like; I just want it rigged so that it explodes and sends loads of little thumbtick shrapnel and rancid bat guano all over the recipient. Where do we submit nominations? _Pen poised at the ready_ ---

It would be a trophy, on top of which there is a little bronze man, with a rather large stick protruding from his anus. The trophy is not only a trophy, its also a crack lighter. ---

I dont know what it should be shaped like, but it will be made up of _CONCRETE!_ ---

Imagine an Oscar but made of tin, with the figure making a graceful loop so the head is inserted in the ass. ---

Thats good…I can make one out of tin foil on the weekend. Maybe we could have runners up…they would have to be cheap to make as we’d give out a whole heck of a lot of 'em. (SDMB members are hereby excluded from running for the Jerk of the World award) ---

The ancient & mystical one fingered salute. Rendered in tin. 🙂
