Dear Sea Sick, I went back to do some research on this most prestigous award & found out a few interesting things.
1. You can't nominate yourself. Where I live, that can land you in jail. It 's akin to marrying your first cousin.
2. You must have your boarding pass or have a business card from the casino manager from each ship you were on.
3. Cards cannot be bent, spindled or mutilated. ( What is spindled?)
4. Only originals can be sent to prove that you actually sailed.
5. A guy or gal from Texas MUST be on the nominating committee.
6. You must have a parrot or wear an eye patch. Wooden legs can be used as substitutes.
7. You MUST like rum drinks.
8. This is the MOST important criteria. YOU MUST HAVE SAILED ON THE DIXIE DUCK AT LEAST ONCE & have either a chip or token to verify that you actually sailed. Sightings don't count.
If you still feel that you deserve the award, please contact the folks at Price, Waterhouse & Silverman in order to see if you qualify for nomination.

BOY DO I NEED A VACATION!!!!!!!
