The Enron stock certificate arrived in the mail today. It is awesome.

Unlike most boring contemporary stock certificates, it has an old-fashioned engraved vignette across the top that looks like it was created by a Wall Street Journal illustrator who'd been reading too many Soviet propaganda poster books. Burly taciturn dude, open collared shirt (symbolizing, perhaps, the tieless new economy liberation of the Houston energy biz), workpants (or are they navy blue Dockers?) and hard hat semi-reclined on a weird building fragment festooned with the fanciful "E," all against a background of pipeline, refinery, storage tanks, power plant, homes, pulley and OUR CLOUDLESS PLANET. Would make one hell of an action figure, but I guess that's another contest.

The stock is in my name, so when you announce the winner we can give him/her the option of having me pay the additional fee to get a new one cut in their name, or just having me send mine accompanied by a "stock power" (signature of transfer that allows them to get the shares transferred via a broker or the transfer agent). The former approach is probably better, if the person can handle waiting a couple of weeks.

BEAT THAT, HUH? WOW!
