Our family passes around an award my aunt found in her shed... it's got a pistachio green wood frame with a copper imprint of somebody curling. The badge at the bottom of the frame says "To the most enthusiastic curler".Another favourite is this really tacky & cheaply-made christmas ornament of a nun playing a saxophone. It says hand painted on the bottom but it must have been painted by a blind 2-year old because none of her 'features' are in the right spot. Her eyes are on the side of her head, etc.

I forgot to mention that the Enthusiastic Curler award must be displayed prominently in the front entrance of the recipient's home for 1 year before they can pass it on.

rolfmao. That's hysterical!Next time you get it, you should take it to the Antiques Roadshow. You might be able to auction it off for $200,000 or something.
