2 Things That Really.........

Yes, just two, for today. That's things that are really beginning to piss me off.

Big Mike hit upon it in the last post. It's people or participants that do not stay for the awards.

I can not get my head around the fact that some people will leave early who are in line for an award. It shows a lack of respect to the organizer and a disregard to other potential winners. As most of the shows in the State of Maine are put on by organizations who are trying to raise money for some school or food pantry and even other non-profits. The cost of shipping the $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy directly affects the money raised.

I can understand a family emergency or illness, I can also see if its a participant vote show and you know for a fact your chance of winning is less than the proverbial snow ball in hell. Other than that, Sit Your Ass Down.

In order to combat this, it would be a little more work for the organizer, the participant should be told they must be present to win any and all trophies and must check out if they leave early. That's right check out. Turn in the show Placard with their class and number so that they may be crossed off the roster of participants completely. This could also save the organization money in mailings the following year as the participant info should be crossed off also.

The other thing that's been stuck in my craw the past few months are these flaming butt munchers that have to leave immediately after they find out they didn't win a trophy and want to beat the rush.

First off, that's way disrespectful in my eyes. Have the decency to sit through the entire awards ceremony. Just because you didn't get to dance doesn't mean the girls were ugly. Lets face it most of the announcers are using the P/A system they got with the Mr. Microphone gift pack in 1983. It Sucks.

Your mufflers were to expensive and the baffles really don't work, as your leaving with an exhaust rumble at the OSHA approved limit for an explosion. Everybody thinks that You Suck.

New rule, If you leave during the awards ceremony at a show, you will be banned from that show the following year or have duct tape applied to certain parts of the anatomy and slowly peeled off. Hopefully a more hairy portion.

Well I can see it's time to go to the Shooting range for some frustration relief.

Until......
