Last night was the Monday Night Comedy ShowAwards and the Young family walked home with a bucket full of trophies!

Every trophy ever.

The wife (Jen) won “best spoken word/poetry”, the stepson (Jared) won “best audience member” and I took home “best improv act”, “best energy drink” and “Lifetime achievement” for performing 50 times in the 175 show run.  I feel like Charlie Sheen except I actually won something.

While I didn’t get a trophy for “best energy drink”, they let me keep the envelope

I'll cherish it forever.

The crowning achievement, however, is the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The only ship as what can outrun The Flying Dutchman

I was told it doesn’t float but I’m going to waterproof it and take it in the bath with me anyway.  This thing is sleeping at the foot of my bed like a faithful dog.  It is truly the pinnacle of gold spray painted balsa wood.

Though I’m honored to be recognize by the best weekly show in town (Mondays at 8PM.  Beat Coffee House on 28th and Hennepin), where do I go from here?  Not many people win a lifetime achievement award before they’re 30 and while I’m sure to win many, many awards before I die, none of them can be used to play with my action figures like this one (damn you for not being pose-able, Daytime Emmy!).

While I mud-wrestle with my existential angst, you can go see the comedy that won the coveted “Best Energy Drink” envelope this weekend at The Comedy Corner Underground! Maybe they’ll give me an award (I expect them for everything now)!
