Sorry about the terrible pun - here's a really nice Manly Medal:

That thing is pretty cool. Too bad it makes President Washington look like an ape.

Is he supposed to be wearing a helmet or something?

I volunteer to keep the list. So far we have:

1. Ape comment.

2. Helmet hair gag.

If memory serves, I believe the Manly medal was sculpted "from life" and is a very accurate representation of Washington. Perhaps needless to say, Washington was not very pleased with it.

BTW -- Regulated -- bad pun, nice medal.

Cool medal.

Sort of looks like a shaved Corleone with a wig and hydrocephalus. (I've got spina bifida, so I can say that.

)

Any history behind the medal?

Apparently none of you were paying attention in American History class; Washington WAS an ape AND wore a helmet. He also starred in a few movies with Burt Reynolds.
