So, since I've entered the Fame and Fortune II contest, I decided to poke around KLAC's All-Access area.

Each radio jock has their own MySpace-style home page, and I was checking them all out. Turns out, each jock's home page seems to be updated by the show's producers. They have photos, bloggy entries and videos. I clicked on one video called Office Tour, and was treated to a four minute video of Matt "Money" Smith and Petro Papadakis' office.
 
I was mildly amused by all the stuff that they had accumulated in their office, and reminded me of my old desk. Matt was pointing out all the pictures and toys they have, and as he scanned up, I spotted this:



These are six replica trophies  that were handed out in Happy Meals in the McDonalds in Canada. This simply is the greatest thing I have EVER seen. And that trumps some pretty serious stuff, including two girls making out in college. Well, maybe not THAT cool, but still...

A mini Conn Smythe trophy?!? A tiny Art Ross trophy?!?

Back in 1993, when the Kings' made their one and only appearance in the Stanley Cup finals, the NHL had brought in all the trophies and put them on display at a hotel in downtown L.A. Me and some of my friends made the trek and checked out all the trophies. I was amazed at just how different each one was. It really gives hockey that sense of historic proportion.

So, since my birthday is coming up on the 18th... feel free to buy me one. I'll proudly take down my mini Kings jerseys and place them at the mantel of my desk.
