varosd 1,185 #1 Posted March 10, 2015 Well, it's that time of year again to start taking nominations for the presentation of the RS Hard Hat during the big show. current holder: Birthday boy Bob Maynard criteria: an injury in the past year (all in good fun, serious injuries need not apply). so any Whoopsie! Dang it! Oh No! Watch out! Hope no one was looking! can apply and of course secret nominations will be considered! Prize: the passing of the coveted Red WH Hard Hat to the new wearer for the next year and of course all the bragging rights. Nominations: 1.

squonk 41,079 #2 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I feel a chainsaw accident takes precedence. After all , the hat was named after our famous Dino and his tree trimming exploits! Edited March 10, 2015 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,436 #3 Posted March 11, 2015 I plan on passing that hat on to someone this year, so post your nominations. Since my injury last year happened the day before the show, nominations will be accepted right up to showtime. However, I don't know if the rules are etched in stone, but I'm thinking that you must be present at the show to accept the award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

varosd 1,185 #5 Posted March 11, 2015 To All, As a Medico, I guess I'll make up the guidelines for the bearer of the RS Hard Hat as we go. being present at the Big Show is a must. Also, please remember this is in all good fun and we are not looking to embarass anyone. anyone can PM me to remove their name as needed. FYI: I just bought a used shed and will spend the Sprintime getting it moved, repaired etc and will take extra care to not get injured. So maybe this Hard Hat will PREVENT injuries! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,079 #6 Posted March 11, 2015 Keep a camera rolling just in case Don ! Without pics it didn't happen. As the creator of the hard hat award, I expect nothing but the best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,079 #7 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Who's name will be "etched" "scribbled with a sharpie on masking tape" or "immortalized with a label maker" on the most prized possession known to mankind? Hollywood and the Society Set are breathlessly anticipating the big forthcoming announcement. Behold the Grand Poobah of Awards in it's original unmolested state!

squonk 41,079 #10 Posted March 15, 2015 Car accidents are also eligible providing your nomination survived it! Basic criteria stipulate that the "victim" was laid up on a couch watching game shows and soap opera's for a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,130 #11 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) How 'bout some stent insertions... would that qualify? Cuz I know a guy. Edited March 15, 2015 by AMC RULES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basic criteria stipulate that the "victim" was laid up on a couch watching game shows and soap opera's for a few weeks. Well that would have disqualified me. I just wrapped a rag around my leg and came to the big show. I guess if you draw blood and have a limp it's still qualified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
