Out of the Blue

My favorite aspect of the winter so far (or at least the wintery part of autumn) is the snowman in the yard of our neighbors. Though snowmen are common in fictional depictions of the season, they are often disappointing in real life... small, lopsided affairs that often are covered with dirt shoveled up with their source snow. In contrast, our neighbors' snowman is top-notch, full-sized, clean, and even set up with proper accoutrements like a scarf and a hat, though as far as can be told, the hat has no magical properties ("Happy Birthday!").

And that wasn't the most (or only) controversial award -- Theodore Roosevelt (1906, for drawing up the Russo-Japanese peace treaty)
Just a sidenote: I was actually gonna include Theodore Rex but my personal preferences got the better of me. He may have been an imperalist asshole but his conservation work was the first real stab at the government doing anything to protect the environment.
Looking over the list, a lot of them seem to be almost pop culture awards, and it's unclear that decades later the person was really worthy.
Perhaps you are right. They probably should be doled out a good deal after the fact. I was mostly trying to scold Creston for his harshness

And what is good, Phaedrus, and what is not good -
Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?
