My former roomie and I still do this!! She got mad at her bf while we were in school, picked up this silly little trophy that they had and bopped him on the head with it! She then brought it back, saying that she was hiding the evidence in case he sued. (He didn't.)

Anyhow, the trophy had a little slide out plaque for inscription which we immediately removed, and starting giving it to each other for stupid things ("Most Wanted by the Police", "Most Wanted by [unnamed geeky fraternity]", "Most Wanted by [unnamed seriously masculine woman in our dorm]", "Most Likely to Sleep Through an Earthquake", "Most Likely to Become a Not-So-Closet Nudist", etc). I love that thing!!
