Liquid Egg Product on the Face Award
It’s close to the end of 2007, and it’s time for the First Annual Liquid Egg Product on the Face Award! (For you non-Americans, we have an expression to “have egg on one’s face” which means that person’s done or said something foolishly embarrassing.)
The award honors the person who managed to be the most entertainingly stupid. And you, dear reader, get a hand in determining the winner!
We’re looking for your candidates! Leave in the comments, and we’ll probably keep a total of 6 or 7 to vote on. Suggestions must be in by Tuesday, Dec 11, and voting starts Wednesday, Dec 12 (it’ll be open for several days to give people time).
CLARIFICATION: Do not vote on one of these four guys now! What I’m looking for is a few more worthy candidates. Then we will vote next week.
Here are a few suggestions from the Mascot and I:
Jonathan Ogden: Albeit a professional athlete doing a TV commercial is shooting fish in a barrel. (video)
Judge Roy L. Pearson: The $67 million pants guy. If you’ve been living in a hole, you can re-live the saga here, here, and here.
Christopher Emmeroy: This bank robber waited for the teller to fill out paperwork during his heist. Nothing else went right for him, either. (story)
Scot Pollard: Told kids to use drugs on national TV. (video)
[Mascot: Actually, I was wondering why you aren't on the list.]
[Donnie: You know that employees, owners, and shareholders of liquideggproduct.com are not eligible for the award, right?]
[Mascot: Darn! Do I at least get a vote?]
[Donnie: Yes, we both get a vote.]
[Mascot: Yay!]
