The Power of Lucite!

When the Shitshow gives out awards, be it at the flunktional level or corporate level, there’s one sure thing you can bet on, the award will be made of Lucite.  Why you may ask? 

Of course, the answer to the question is because it looks futuristic!  For those of you who don’t know what Lucite is, it is nothing more than Pyrex - a type of plastic.   It was invented in 1928 and first sold in 1933, talk about futuristic!    It’s the same material stripper shoes are made out of (or some I’m told), talk about classy!

Even a disgrunteled rock thrower like myself has accumulated my share of Lucite paper weights.  Who knows, maybe I should start throwing Lucite instead of rocks. 

Because every single award from the Shitshow comes with what looks like it’s a piece of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, I throw rocks.

  1. FYI,

    Lucite is also know as Perspex, not Pyrex. Pyrex is the brand name for a type of glassware. Because it's just as likely that that I'd get a Pyrex measuring cup as an award at the shitshow I throw rocks too.
