Hall of Fame

There are many halls that bestow recognition to people and things.

Sure we (most Americans anyway) know about the Baseball and Rock & Roll halls of fame.

Here’s two you may not know of:

• Rodeo Hall of Fame
• Dance Hall of Fame

Those last two are associated with museums.   

This next one just opened up recently.  I remember seeing a highway sign for it:

NASCAR Hall of Fame

The Northeastern Massachusetts Plumbing and Gas Inspectors Association’s web site has a hall of fame page.  I found this extremely interesting picture there.  This picture left me with so many questions.  It certainly should be in a hall of fame because it offers a solution to an ago old problem for both men and women.  No toilet seat issue in this house.

A hall of fame can be just a promotional gimmick, self promotion.  Not that this is bad thing all the time.  In this way they are similar to blogs.

Here’s one I came across today which IMHO doesn’t need to exist.

White Castle’s Hall of Fame.  

67 inducted out of 6,629 nominations.  They must be a very selective committee.  I guess it could have been worse.  It could be a hall of flame, since the gas produced can be flammable.  If you check it out, be sure to read about “Steven Luch and Nips the Pig”.  His is a perfect example of the elite people in this hall of fame.

If I started my own hall of fame, say the “Few Clowns Short Hall of Fame”, would it be wrong to put myself in it?

Do I need to establish an academy about it first?  Do I need an actual physical hall?  

Lisleman’s Few Clowns Short Basement Corner of Fame might work since I have taken over the area around my basement workbench.

Maybe a “virtual” hall of “virtual” fame would be more fitting?

I’m taking nominations - so let me know.
