And the Whoop-de-doo goes to ...

On tonight's new episode of "The Simpsons," school bully Jimbo Jones notes - before a school ceremony is held to recognize Lisa as "Student of the Millennium" - that the award-show season keeps starting earlier and earlier.

I couldn't agree more. But still, one dream of mine would be to create and add my own award show to the mix - "The Faint Praise Awards." The statuette would be known as a Whoop-de-doo.

Categories would cover a wide spectrum of subjects. Any given year, categories could include "Best Film Ever Made that starred Pauly Shore," "Most Appealing Side Dish at a KFC Buffet," or "Least Inebriated Green Bay Packer Season-Ticket Holder."

I certainly need some more categories to make for a three-hour show; however, I'm also hoping to get Billy Crystal (or maybe at least a guy named Billy from Crystal, Minn.) to do an opening musical number.

"Worst movie Robert DeNiro starred in"
or
"Worst jelly-belly jelly bean combination"
would be fun categories
(btw- the worst DeNiro movie would have to be a toss up between "The Swap", 1969 and "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight", 1971).
As far as the jelly bellies, well, I'll let you come up with your own bad combos.

Least inebriated Green Back Packer fan would go to the ten-and-under crowd.
