The Clarkson Cup
Outgoing Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson has announced she is minting a new hockey trophy. It will be called the Clarkson Cup, (a little ego-trip there) and will be awarded for excellence in women's hockey. Like the Stanley Cup, the Clarkson Cup will be made of silver. It will be sculpted at Nunavut Arctic College in Iqaluit. Clarkson says she took her idea from the action of former governor general Sir Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, who created the trophy in 1892. It was first awarded as a hockey trophy on March 22nd, 1894, to the Montreal Hockey Club upon their defeat of the Ottawa Capitals.There have been no details released yet as to how the winner of the Clarkson Cup will be determined.

It's official -- that woman really is full of herself. People name things like that after you -- you don't go and do it yourself. Besides, since when did Clarkson become a fan of hockey?
I think that maybe I should mint something and name it after Clarkson. I'll call it the "Clarkson Poo." It will be a large pile of ... poo ... made out of rusted aluminum, and will be awarded annually to the public figure that wastes the most of taxpayer's money and has the ego to match.
