Trophy Update →[More:]It is done! I drove over hell's half-acre trying to find a trophy. I had a hard time tracking one down. After the fifth cigarette smoke- laden thrift shop, I gave up and called a trophy shop and purchased this one for 14 bucks. It was the tallest they had that was on sale. The one I threw out was at least double the size with multiple platforms and columns.

I took BP's idea and spray painted it fluorescent pink and added some Bunco bling. I'm glad this project is over! I have about one million things to do.

See picture here.

Thanks guys! I painted and decorated it in the front driveway. Two of my neighbors were in their driveway washing their cars. It was funny explaining why I was painting a trophy pink.

A bunny.

It's awesome! Hehe... excellent work.
Now, if anyone asks what happened to the old one, you need to have a story ready.

"I was mugged by an Elvis impersonator who demanded the trophy and kept yelling at me, 'What's the frequency Karen? WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY, KAREN?!'"
