I'm not sure this thing is an actual trophy. It says "Participant", so it may as well be called a "mercy reward"
LOL, that's frikkin' hilarious. I think that pic should be made into one of those faux-inspirational posters.

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

I could think of a booby prize like that, The Doorstop Award. Given in jest possibly. Or even a rock solid award.
Location: Spring Hill, Fl.
Equipment: laser pointer (doesn't etch for poo but the cats go nuts for it.)

If they had made that thing out of chocolate, or gave out some fast food cupons, it would have been appreciated.

At least it is being put to use! Most trophies land up on a shelve collecting dust!!

Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.

OOOOH! Now I understood. Thank's, Rodney! Unfortunatley almost half of Lithuanians lived outside country
Usually in soviet time we even didn't KNOW about this featureIn Soviet Army we just put piece of wood on floor and fix with few nails.
Now we use magnet fixings for badges from JDS

I engrave a number of prizes and awards during the Polo season and quite often do custom made door stops - blocks of reclaimed teak with wrought iron crossed polo mallets. If you can't beat 'em ...
