The Fourth Semi-Annual Official Muppet Central Forum Awards Ceremony

[The Count]

*From off to the side of the stage.

Rowlf: Evenin' folks. Mmm, maybe it's late night for some of you. Anyway... Just wanted to tickle the ivories for a bit. And tickle your funnybones too. Speaking of bones... Nah, forget it. So if you're wanting to stretch your legs...
Animal: I stretch for you!
*Grabs on to a Whatnot's legs and stretches them full forward.
Rowlf: Uh no... Just wait a bit and there'll be a stretch for you kind guys and gals. Oh, BTW: Kyle Wilkenson and Randall, known as anytimepally won the Play It Again, Sam honor for best MUP3 traders.
*Plays a sweep of musical scales.
Rowlf: Yeah... The pay's cheap around here.
*Plays a few more notes.
Rowlf: I get paid by the scales.

YAY! Congrats Kyle! Congrats Randall!

 

[Ruahnna]

Ru: (Slides into seat breathlessly and more than a little disheveled. Gives Piggy a disgruntled look.) Way to leave me out in the cold, roomie. When did the awards start?
Piggy: (tossing golden hair over her shoulder) Moi was fashionably late. Besides, you were talking to those nice men in uniform.
Ru: (looks puzzled) Nice men in...oh. Oh! You mean the Pun Pol--um, the guys from the, um, moving company. (Avoids Piggy's gaze) The ones that stopped by our room.
Piggy: Yes. Normally, Moi is not impressed merely by a uniform, but those gentlemen seemed very nice. Will you be seeing them again?
Ru: Um...er...so. What's happening.
Piggy: Nothing interesting yet. Moi has not won anything yet.
Ru: Piggy!
Piggy: Nor has Moi been asked to present an award, but I stand ready to amaze my public at a moment's notice.
Ru: Speaking of notice, a little notice would have been nice. I just got here and now I have to--uh oh.
Piggy: (swivelling around in her seat) Oh! Look! THose nice men in uniform are HERE! I think they're looking for you! Hellooooo! Are you looking for Moi's roomee?
Ru: (in a strangled whisper) Piggy--shush!
Piggy (now standing in her chair and waving a long chiffon scarf) Yoo hoo! Over heeeere!
Ru: Um--gotta go! Catch you back in the room, dear!

Mraaaawrgh! I knew there was a reason I decided to stay up late! Wow, most huggable? Somehow that is so fitting. To continue that there, I will make my speech in a series of hugs.

Hugs to Count for giving me such a nice introduction! *monster hugs back*

Hugs to anyone who was patient enough to stay online and hang out at the forum awards with me!

BIG hugs to everyone who has ever given me hugs, or has been nice enough to reply to a thread or post of mine. Which covers pretty much every forum member. ^_^ Yay including everybody!

Special hugs to Snowthers, just 'cause, to Squeegee and Tony for being my chat buddies, to heralde for always giving me someone to debate with.

Hugs to everyone who I nominated for awards but did not win; I feel like every forum member deserves awards because I have never met a greater bunch of people in one place, anywhere else!

Hmm... am I forgetting anyone?

**Zany runs through with a cue card that says "The Prawn"**

Oh YES! Of course. GIANT HUGGLES to Prawnie for starting the awards again this year! Wish you were here, mate.

*Blows a kiss to the crowd* This one's for you guys!

Bunsen:
What a charming girl!
Delightfully huggable!

Claudia:
OBVIOUSLY, Bunnie.
That's why she's HUGGABLE!

Bunsen:
I must investigate why this one is so cuddly!
Be right back.

Claudia:
No you don't!

Bunsen:
Not even electric shock?

Claudia:
Not even.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh, she's SUCH a sweetheart!
Can gobble her up!

Composta:
(Nods in agreement)

Claudia:
It's Ruh!
(Squeals)
I adore her!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Same here...
I just don't adore the bacon next to her.

Bunsen:
Come now.
Mind your manners.

Beaker:
(Sticks his head into his shirt timidly)
Meemwoomeee!

Bunsen:
Silly, Beakie.

 

[The Count]

No worries Aunt Ru... Your category won't be until tomorrow. We're reaching the end of the first half.

Ernie: Hey Bert.
Bert: What is it Ernie?
Ernie: Well... I just noticed that there's an award sculpted to look like us.
Bert: Eeeernie... *Looks at the award. Hey, you're right. This is the most neato prize I've ever seen.
Ernie: So you like it Bert?
Bert: Yeah... It's really hunky-dory.
Ernie: Oh good. Although... I think something's missing.
Bert: What's missing?
Ernie, consults with Rubber Duckie: Well Bert... If you come a little closer I'll tell you.
Bert leans in to hear what Ernie has to tell him...
Ernie plucks Bert's nose off his face.
Ernie: This. *Plants the nose on the trophy.
Bert: Dow cut that out!
Ernie: *Laughs.
Bert, after his nose is back on: Now then... The best team of MC members are...
Ernie: That is, the people thought of as best going together are...
Both: Lisa (TogetherAgain) and Ryan Dosier.

*And just after that...

Newsman, running to take up the spot behind his desk: This is a Muppet News flash! Tonight, at the MC awards, the honor of best Muppet Newsman has been handed out to a Greg James, alias Gelfling Waldo.

In further developments, this turned out to be the only category with a clear-cut unanimous vote across every ballot that was turned in. *Looks earnestly into the camera. Stay classy Gelfling, you do us Muppet newscasters proud.
In other news, it was reported that this newsman is a crashing bore. Wha?
*Suddenly a larger unnamed pig crashes down, crushing Newsy beneath him.
Pig, in Richard Hunt voice: Sorry about that.

 

[Beakerfan]

Congrats you guys! *throws confetti and penguins*

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Uh, I know this may be interupting and all, but since it seems that neither of them are around at the moment, and I have been frantically racing this thread through this thread looking for an edgewise so I can get a word in, may I please speak?

First I would like to congradulate all those who won before me, and all of those who may win while I am posting this, lol! *laughter from audience*
To be honest, I had the smallest of hopes that maybe I might win something. A dreamer and her dreams, you know. But I never thought I actually would! *sniff* This is just such a wonderful moment for me!
I'd also like to thank my roommates from the college dorms. Hi Gobo and Wembly, and hi Lou! You may not live with us anymore, but you'll always be my roommate in spirit!
Lastly I'd like to say what a lot of people here say, but I believe it has renewed meaning each time it is said. Muppet Central just means so much to me, and I do truly love all of you! *in sort of a tearful whisper* Thank you...
*stumbles back to seat* And thank you Beaker, for the flowers and for accompanying me this evening.

Beaker:
(Nods happily and claps for Katie)

Claudia:
(Wipes a tear)
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!

Bunsen:
I promised myself I wouldn't cry.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Hold me, Composta!
HOLD ME!

Composta:
(Hugs him)
