Hey everyone, I just won the Ned Low prize...

For doing things better than anyone else in the world. It is an award that I just thought up and came to the conclusion that there was nobody better in this world to award it to than me. Didn't Rand Paul do something similar with his eye doctor diploma? Anyway, I am honored by this recognition and expect everyone else to acknowledge the superiority I hold over everyone in my own thoughts. I'll be fashioning the medal that goes with it shortly.

You can get gold spray paint at any hardware store if you need to create some physical evidence of this honor.

He'd be on a continuing repeating loop and get stuck, like a skipping record.

because he is a thoroughly despicable example of a human, but because he's celebrating. It's always festivus in the krasnov household. always.

I do 3D modeling, often for people with 3D printers. If you provide me with a picture you would like turned into a bas-relief for your medal, I'll turn it into a 3D STL file. I like your idea, and I will do it for free. Piss on Trump.

Rand Paul is an active, licensed physician, but he is not certified by the nationally recognized American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO). Instead, he is certified by a rival organization, the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO), which he founded himself.

The recognized organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists (eye physicians and surgeons) in the United States is the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO). There is no official "National Board of Ophthalmology" that is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS)

We can all be anything we say we are, dammit!

I've been awarded the barbtries Peace Please Prize. By me. I have already thanked myself very much for it, and fully expect to be the recipient annually from this date forward well into eternity.

Pretty sure the Orange MF hasn't claimed that one yet.
