someone at the end of the bar says 'accolades' tonight like it settles anything and I watch the whole room split into two churches. one side thinks a trophy case does the arguing for you. other side, my side, knows a hardware store gives out awards too and nobody frames those. accolades is just a participation stat with a nicer suit on. body of work don't need a shelf, it needs receipts, and I've got twenty years of em. the guy folded before his second sentence. who's laughing now, not that shelf, that's for damn sure.
