Fish products day is

includes all humans and fish), regardless of where you are. On this site,
you will find complete coverage of FPD 2000, FPD 2001, FPD 2002, and
including items such as jokes, history, and especially pictures. See the

The Supreme Executive Committee Proudly Announces
the 2003 Winners of ...
THE OFFICIAL FISH PRODUCTS DAY
TRAVELING TROPHIES
The FPD 2003
award-winners are as follows:
1.) The "Sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce" Award for Most Fit-to-Eat Fish
Product. By this award, we are encouraging
excellence in fish product preparation.
2003 Co-Winners:
Suzy Jessee,
for her scrumptious Oysters Rockefeller chowder; and
Wayne Chastain, for his excellent swordfish-and-vegetables skewers.
Honorable Mention:
Eric Ward,
for his bacon-wrapped “scallops done right” (a previous award winner, so
they were disqualified from the top award – but disqualified not because of
any lack of fit-to-eatness).
2.) The Agreda/Lichtenstein Goldfish Award for Most
Memorable Performance. The reasons why someone
might win this award are as far-flung as your imagination will take you.
2003 Winner:
John Franjione, for participation that included FPD’s first-ever haiku; a recording of the classic and quite
demented “Fish Heads” song; and
John’s FPD attire, which included a fish-themed, Hawaiian-style shirt,
sandals, shorts, and a straw Panama hat.
Honorable Mention:
Patrice Riesenberg, for bringing her scumbria (whole, cold-smoked
mackerel imported from Russia) and then filleting and
skinning it (with purple HAZMAT-type gloves on!) right in front of the
other FPD participants.
3.) The Steve Janulis Fish Paste Award for Best
Performance by a Newcomer. This award is
designed to encourage FPD participation by our newer employees - not
limited to first-year employees, necessarily, but aimed more at
high-quality FPD participation early in one's career.
2003 Winner:
Kevin Heindselman, for his great work chairing and organizing the 7th-Floor
Quote-of-the-Month and Quote-of-the-Year committee.
Honorable Mention:
Co-op
student Han Chang, whose extent
of FPD participation eclipsed that of all previous 7th-floor
co-ops.
4.) The Humphrey Bass-o-Matic Award for Most Unique, Most
Disgusting, or Most Uniquely Disgusting Fish Product. ‘Nuff said.
2003 Co-Winners:
Steve Humphrey, for sending formerly-frozen fish sticks to FPD via Priority
Mail; and Bob Huddleston, for his spur-of-the-moment, original,
uniquely disgusting recipe for “hot curried tentacles”.
“I am extremely
humbled and honored at this moment to see my name in lights and I
graciously thank the Supreme Executive Committee for naming this award
after me. “ -- Steve Humphrey
5.) The “Wild-Card” Award. This award is designed to recognize FPD
participation which is deserving of recognition but which doesn’t quite fit
into any of the other award categories.
2003 Winner:
Cal Churn,
for Most Artistically-Decorated Fish Product, for his “Louisiana Fish Loaf with
Cream Cheese Anchovy Icing”, which was shaped, styled, and colored like a
Christmas tree, with sliced olives serving as garland draped on the
tree. (The FPD Web site’s photo
doesn’t do it justice.)
Honorable Mention:
Lisa Tencer,
for her imaginative use of (and a new way to get rid of) school band fruit,
by decorating oranges with eyes, fins, and tails to look like fish.
And finally, some special
awards just for this year:
The FPD Fish-Shaped Oven Mitts go to native-Peruvian Maggie Maticorena for lending a
special international flavor (literally!) to FPD with her ceviche
(pronounced se-VEE-chay), which consisted of tilapia (a mild-flavored
fish), shrimp, corn, onions, sweet potatoes, and peppers, all marinated in
lime juice – a veritable dance party for the taste buds.
The “Excellence in a Supporting Role Award” goes to Rhonda Smith for supplying her
husband Jeff and FPD 2003 with a fish-shaped drink huggie, fish-shaped and
freshly-baked cornbread, smoked Chinook salmon and “trout eggs” (bubble gum
balls) that she brought home from a trip to Oregon, and several new FPD
room decorations – and for providing similar behind-the-scenes FPD support
over a period of many years.
Steve Humphrey gets his name attached to the now Humphrey Bass-o-Matic Award, for his
lengthy and well-documented record of questionable fish products and FPD
performance art. His
Two-Day-Priority-Mailed fish sticks this year were one of the first fish
products to be not even touched – in this case not because of how
disgusting it was, but rather for fear of food poisoning.
The special “Bah Hum-Fish Award” (a.k.a. the
Well-After-The-Fact-To-Make-Up-For-Earlier-Year-Oversights Award) goes to Casey Henry for his stellar but
inexplicably undecorated FPD participation (including several excellent
fish products) over the past few years.
Congratulations, one and
all. See you next year!
Winners of the Fish Products Day
Awards for FPD 2002
1.)
The "Sardines in Louisiana Hot
Sauce" Award for Most Fit-to-Eat Fish Product. By this award, we are encouraging
excellence in fish product preparation.
2002 Winner: Marty Neal, for his wonderful
seafood lasagna.
Runner-up: Rob Schisla, for his
excellent salmon cheesecake.
2.)
The Agreda/Lichtenstein Goldfish Award
for Most Memorable Performance. The reasons why someone might win this
award are as far-flung as your imagination will take you.
2002 Winner: Steve Humphrey (who else?), for
various antics, including bringing in a whole, dead, uncooked lobster
(after unsuccessfully attempting to keep it alive the night before) and
then microwaving the still-otherwise-uncooked lobster and partaking of
it. Not to mention Steve’s “boldly
eating what no man would eat before” when he ate some of the Japanese
fossil-fish wafer cookies (see Award No. 4).
Runner-up: Suzy Jessee, for being such a good sport
in opening and brazenly enjoying the “spotted dick”, and then gamely
tossing out several memorable quotes on the matter.
3.)
The Steve Janulis Fish Paste Award for
Best Performance by a Newcomer. This award is designed to encourage FPD
participation by our newer employees -- not limited to first-year
employees, necessarily, but aimed more at high-quality FPD participation
early in one's FPD career.
2002 Winner: David Schubert, for showing beyond-his-years
initiative in declaring “Hawaiian Shirt Day” to coincide with Fish Products
Day. Another great FPD tradition has
probably been spawned.
4.)
The Bass-o-Matic Award for Most
Disgusting, Most Unique, or Most Uniquely Disgusting Fish Product. 'Nuff said.
2002 Winner: Chad
Marlow, for the rather disgusting Japanese
fossil-fish wafer cookies (packaged with dessicant, no less) which he
personally brought over from Japan.
5.)
The “Wild-Card” Award. This award is designed to recognize FPD
participation which is deserving of recognition but which doesn’t quite fit
into any of the other award categories.
2002 Winner: Randy Van Der Aa, for organizing a
highly successful satellite FPD celebration in Michigan.
