Jeremy King is a winner. In this photo Jeremy holds his trophy for all to see.
My Bedroom, Brooklyn-Jeremy King won the Award for most trophies last night at the First Ever Awards Awards.
King showed up to the event already knowing that he'd won the coveted "Most Trophies" award, but the award for "Best Trophy" award came as bit of a surprise. "I know that many people come every year with their own awards they're hoping to win awards with," says King. He goes on, "but I can't say that I wasn't already kind of expecting the win. Just another V for the K-man."
He described the process of making the trophy that eventually brought him a first place finish in the race for the Awards Awards "Best Trophy" award. He melted down all of his old trophies to make what award-winning award-maker Kevin Jurns calls "A full frontal attack upon the spirit of Awards. Everyone should get one." [We are required by law to state that Jurns makes most of his profits off of awards handed out to participants in events.]
Jurns isn't happy with the outcome. "If only the winners got trophies I'd go out of business. Could this be the first sign of capitalism's demise? Hopefully. I am a Marxist, I feel much better coming out of the closet and putting my socio-political beliefs right out there on the shelf, displayed proudly, for everyone to see with a shiny plastic androgynous laborer right up on top. The engraved plate reading 'Working Class: 1st Place, Worldwide'. We'll win this thing eventually and when we do, I make this solemn promise: Trophies from each his ability, to everyone. We're gonna need some kind of memento of the overthrow of the burgious. That's the need trophies fill."

How do you say first place in sign language?
King's acceptance speech was short and to the point. "I'd like to say this was a team effort. But it really wasn't. It was all me. There's no I in team, but there's also none of 'you' (u) in 'my team'. If you'll all excuse me, I'm going to take my prize and go home to start working towards next year's awards."
He laughed while exiting the stage. His exclusive remarks caught by one of this blog's lucky reporters. King finished by chuckling to himself and then quipping just off stage, "I'm laughing on the inside too."
His Parents
Are very proud.
