Also @Boojum1 is nominated for the following photo, which I have dubbed BBQ Grill Paladin. The Academy is fully aware that the grating in the pic is probably not a BBQ grill, so Mark may choose to name his photo more appropriately if he so desires. For the record, that goes out as a standing offer to all other nominees in this category (so far @clint64 and @jtspartan), as does the ongoing offer that they may also substitute any photo posted in the 30DC thread that they (or others) deem to to be "more inspirational" at any time in order to ensure their best work is put forth for the nomination. Congrats @Boojum1!
I think so too, but I came up with a title quickly. I have now redubbed it "Paladin Grill Brush", to cover more possibilities of grills and gratings, while keeping the title equally ridiculous. Mark is welcome to rename it with a more high brow and appropriate title if he so desires.
Yes but the scepter and crown can become a heavy burden, laden with the weight of responsibility. OK not really, but it sounded pretty Kingly, right? In reality, though, Neal is the Czar around here. I'm just the (alleged) leader of an (alleged) band of revolutionaries at the moment. We're just happy to have running water when we can find it.
I nominate a new category: most improper use of menthol. If accepted I nominate Adam for applying menthol to his new tattoo. Perhaps he should get a life time achievement award?
Adam would clearly run away with this category. Every year. Past, present and future. As such, we could just give him the lifetime achievement award now, or in the interest of letting other people play, we could change the Most Ill Advised MAYhem Idea award to something like Biggest MAYhem Mistake which would include bad ideas, bad shaves, and other bad shaving related antics (to include those of the below the belt menthol variety). Or we could do both. Your call Keith.
I agree Adam has truly proven no one is in the same league when it comes to bad applications ideas for menthol. I propose a Life Time Achievement Award and I will donate a true Japanese Kamisori that is likely not shave ready.
And with that, we have our first ever Lifetime Achievement Award, and our first Shavey awarded in 2018. The Academy congratulates @Drygulch and thanks @Keithmax for his generous sponsorship of the award!
I am humbled by the recognition of my menthol prowess. I will atempt to use the award in a fitting way, but always above the belt. I can certainly say that I won’t get nuts with it. Thank you to both the award sponcer and the academy.
Considering the month and the nature of the awards, I can't help but note an irony in the fact that the Kamisori is "not shave ready".
I mighta considered using Menthol on the nether regions for that bad boy! I wonder if that’s how those sadistic Japanese game shows got their start?
Despite this being an “encore” performance, the Stivette (blade epoxied to stick) is such a fine example of redneck engineering that it gets Fuzzy on the board for his first 2018 nomination. Congrats @wchnu!
Wooo. My thanks to the academy. There are several new members that had not seen it. I promise new stuff to come...
