He was very unhappy to receive the award. This is from a (fairly low profile) event in the recent news - email if you've heard it, otherwise solve away! | ||

I never read the gnus (nor even the wildebeests)--takes too long to clean up after. Was it a "negative" sort of award (e. g. Darwin Awards, Golden Turkeys etc.)? Did it (the receipt of the award) cause him publicity he'd as of soon avoided? Was he in the Witness Protection Program? On disability and he won the three-legged-race or some other comptetion requiring physical abilities he claimed to lack? | ||

Was he hiding from the authorities? or anyone in particular? was he a recluse? Did the publicity draw attention to something he had been doing? Was he afraid someone would steal his prize? | ||

Was what he was doing illegal? Questionable? Did the award make his work impossible? Difficult? And this is totally random - anything to do with film making? | ||

I know this is a bit subjective, but is the award something that is familiar/recognizable by most? Or is it more along the lines of the "Award given to Dryman by the Masonic Lodge in Ipswich"?  | ||

Is he wanted by the police/FBI/CIA/authorities? Do they know who he is and what he looks like but they haven't been able to find him? | ||

So it sounds like the specific award is not relevant, but rather the fact that the award caused unwanted attention, but it could have been any award. Is that correct? | ||

Tax evasion? Something petty? Or more along the lines of a felony? | ||
| dryman (Dryman)
|
Tax evasion? no Something petty? Or more along the lines of a felony? depends on your point of view - the authorities thought it was serious | ||
