Product Description:
And the Golden Plunger goes to…
Forget about the Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globes. After two decades of producing interesting, entertaining, and mind-boggling stories, Uncle John has come up with his own unique opinions about what deserves an award. So he recruited the dedicated staff at the BRI to compile this collection of 100 things he deems award-worthy.
Here are just a few of the Golden Plunger Awards Uncle John is giving out: Scrumptious Cookie, Baseball’s Unbelievable Blunder, Versatile Condiment, Enduring Sports Rivalry, Stinkiest Cheese, American Dream Hero, Memorable Commercial, Classic Cocktail, Essential Bathroom Accessory, Oldest Con, Supreme Sex Symbol, Breakthrough Graphic Novel, Inspirational Speech, Intriguing Unsolved Mystery, and Best Tattoo.

I'm an Uncle John Bathroom Reader addict. I've not been 100% satisfied the last couple of times - too much copy-and-past from earlier editions. But this one, "Golden plunger awards", has once again turned going to the toilet into a joyride. Good stories. Well organized. And easy to find subjects you want to read about.
Rated by buyers -
To the list of illustrious awards - the Pulitzer, Nobel Peace Prize, Oscar, Emmy, Tony, etc. - we now have to make room on the mantle for the 'Golden Plunger' award! Uncle John and his Bathroom Reader Institute decided to "celebrate...unsung heroes (and) enduring, odd and obscure marvels from ancient history all the way to today" through the creation and awarding of the Golden Plunger award. It's hard to believe civilization made it this far without it!
Within GOLDEN PLUNGER AWARDS' 328 pages are 18 categories: Ad Game, Creature Features, If You Build It, Artistes, Mixed Bag, Creepy Crawlies, Comic Genius, Go Green, Sports, What to Wear, Some of Our Favorite People, That's History, Some Things to Nibble On, Let Us Entertain You, Words to the Wise, Pop Culture, Science and At the Movies. Within each category are three to 13 winners, each winner being described in two-three pages. Be forewarned: The book abounds in 'punny' titles.
For instance: The Think Outside the Bottle Award (goes to) Champagne in a Can; The Making Faces Award (to) Forensic Artists; The Be Hair Now Award, Dreadlocks; Teenager of the Year Award, King Tut; The I Spy Award, Benedict Arnold; The 'Second Banana' Award, Emma Peel (YES!); The Fashion on a Roll Award, Toilet Paper Wedding Gowns and Duct Tape Prom Dresses; The Shoe-Biz Award, Crocs; The Goat Busters Award, Buzkashi; The Comeback Award, Cyrogenics; The Product Placement Award, Human Billboards; The Sultry Voice Award, Lauren Bacall; Let Your Fingers Do the Talking Award, Rudest Hand Gestures; and so on.
It's all harmless fun and educational in its own way. GOLDEN PLUNGER AWARDS is the perfect "I've got an hour to kill at lunch" book; trivia buffs and anyone interested in pop culture will enjoy this book. Recommended.
