Argh, clutter

[pegkerr]

The dojo is going to be closed for construction this weekend, while everyone is at the Diamond National Tournament. Sensei decided to clean out the old trophies, so he set up a sparring class tournament and handed them out to the kids.

Fiona won first place in the sparring class and brought an old trophy home that someone else won at the Diamond Nationals five years ago. The thing is a friggin' five feet tall. Where the hell am I supposed to put this???

No love, Sensei.

Coatrack in her room?

In a photograph, standing next to a smiling Fiona.

The photograph goes in an album, with appropriate context written by you and/or Fiona. Maybe you could put it between 2 stories or a story and a poem about what happened today?

Then the trophy goes out with the trash, if you don't know of a local theater group that might want it as a prop.

Congratulations to Fiona for winning the sparring tournament.

No no, never throw out trophies. Donate them to your local developmental disability rehabilitation center. There's some kid out there with cerebtral palsy who would feel ten feet tall if she had a five foot trophy.

But, natch, first the picture of Fiona sparring with it.

Now that is an excellent idea! Thanks!

Hatrack?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Actually, that is what Sensei suggested.

[litgirl101.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it would make a good hat rack?

[litgirl101.livejournal.com]

Oops, jonquil already saud that!

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Sensei actually already suggested that, too!

Maybe on display for a month, then in a photo with Fiona?

Garage?

I doubt we'd be able to get the car in (only slightly exaggerating). The thing's humungous.

Roof ornament for your house?

(Actually, the getting rid of it is the best idea. Take pictures first.)

Maybe I could use it for clobbering mice...

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Or bats?

Whoot...swinging that thing at a bat could cause a serious safety hazard to anyone or anything in range! lol, I can sympathise, we have some of those big 'ole things endangering our house, too.

What kind of over-indulgent 21st-century mother are you? If she's going to develop the proper bloated ego and sense of self-importance, you must order a gigantic custom-built trophy case suitable for housing the coming stream of trophies, ribbons, and medals that will be dished out like popcorn to bolster her arrogance and attitude of entitlement!

What happened to the Diamond National Tournament winner of 5 years ago? Does he/she not need a coat rack?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

I strongly suspect she was glad to get rid of it.

I'd take. Seriously. Well, you'd have to ship it to me.

But everytime I go to a thrift store, I look at the trophies. There's an annual fundraiser for the Seattle Art Car Blowout and we make and decorate trophies for it.

See, all trophies have standard parts. It all started when I realized that.
