What award is it? #1?	Can't Post

The number on the back, PPA# 389, is mine.

PPA?

Symbolism of the design?

Requirements for award?

Bonus points for what year and where awarded.

(This is the most obscure thing I could thing of to try to compete with Howard Wink

)

Yep, I see what you mean. After about 5 beers myself, I started leaning to the left and it sure does look like a pint of the good stuff! Wink

Ding ding ding!

We have a winner.

Parachuting Piss Artist awarded by the Irish National Team at the St. Patricks Day Boogie at Palatka in 1983.

The colors mimic the Irish flag, glass of guiness, DC 3 in the background.

Frown

Didn't get to Ireland to earn it.

Drinking a beer standing on your head is interesting.

It's from the Irish Parachute Club. It's a pint of Guinness. I can't remember what exactly it's awarded for, but I suspect I got it once Wink

I, too, hold the coveted PPA award. That was a memorable boogie. I remember some folks getting sick following the green beer. Not a pretty sight. Crazy

And, yes, drinking the beer while standing on your head is a strange experience, green or not...
