Anyone can apply for a student loan, go to University for 8 years, devote decades of their lives to something and then come up with something great, but it takes true talent for a lazy, unskilled person to stumble into the same success.
People would be awarded for:
*Creating cures for diseases
while atempting to make Macaroni
*Napping your way to the top of a corperation
*Finding the largest amount of money
*and so forth
Why, you...

Awards and Plaque for those lucky bastards. [awintheiser, Nov 13 2007]

It would become dull if these awards all went to lottery winners (e.g. that man who just won $128m in New York). I'd like to see the annual award for "Most outrageously unlikely escape from certain death" though. |

Sounds like a job for the Darwin Awards team to me. |
|

Yeah, I'd have a problem giving an award to someone who just won one (i.e. a lottery). Seeing karma come full circle, however.... |
|
| |
I think I could perhaps win one of these awards. |

But just now I find myself developing a new fear of meteorites. |

Plastic... vulcanizing... nylon... |

That's using the old noodle |

You might have tortelloni nventor would be destined to fail, but I think the occasional one succeeds - and then gets srewed by patent laws. |

Speaking of karma the guy who gave me a bad haircut a
few months ago came into the bar where I work a few
days later, cut himself on some glass and has since had 3
blood transfusions. Thats karma and a warning to any
hairdressers out there. |

Yeah, that would be awesome. Although, that award should be saved for last. I have a feeling the Lucky Bastard awards will recive many, many attacks and threats. Including a few bombs. Oh, and [4whom], that would be painful. Trying to copulate with some random occurance that you had no previous knowledge of sounds stupid. Would you pull down your pants, hop to the left and hope you don't fall off a cliff or run into me? I know you were probably talking about something utterly different, but I had to add that. |
