FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 6 AWARDS/ACCOLADES AND WHATNOT By Johnny Heller There are lots and lots of awards out there that the serious award hunter can aim for. In time and with dedication, one could easily have a house full of awards that could be used to brag to friends or to hold open doors or to keep papers from flying off one’s desk due to breezes (likely caused by people quickly leaving your award filled home).
