Congrats, all!

(Slackbot, fresh from two hours on a bus, a train, another bus, and a 2-mile walk, returns to her seat.) Janken: Hiya. Took your time, didn't you? Slackbot: Don't start with me or I'll write you a nasty backstory. Did I miss anything? Janken: Well, Cantus played some music. Slackbot...

Slackbot: [To Janken] I'm gonna have to catch the bus home now. Keep my seat warm. Janken: You're leaving me here? Slackbot: You're a big boy. You'll be fine for a few hours. Janken: A few hours? That's a long commute. Slackbot: [sighing] Tell me about it. See ya, and let me know if...

[Janken flashes a grin and a thumbs-up to DrTooth.]

Slackbot: Scene 1, take 3. Janken: They say the third time's a charm. Slackbot: Then why are you wearing your pajamas and bringing takeout? Janken: No comment.

No worries. I have anosmia.

Seven chapters down, one to go... ***** The Mamas and The Papas Part 7: Even If I Could by Kim McFarland ***** As soon as Boober woke up that morning he set the previous night's laundry to soak. The stains only looked bad; he knew that as soon as the jam was softened it would lift...

Do ytou mean, starting over from the very first award? The long lag is anticlimactic enough, but starting from square one so we can have several hours of reruns... I don't know how many people would show up for that. I wouldn't. I'd suggest setting a date and time tonight--sometime tomorrow...

Whenever, as long as it's announced in enough time that people actually know about it, and then done on time and at a reasonable speed. Otherwise, at this rate, it will drag on for a week.

If this ceremony is going to continue, I hope the time will be posted in advance so people will know to show up.

Mr. Godot? Mr. Godot? Fifteen seconds to... never mind.

Janken: (Making his way back to the seats) Looks like I got here just in time, eh? Slackbot: Yeah. Did you bring me a salad? Janken: Yup. Here ya go.

Janken: Still no word on when this starts back up again? Slackbot: If there was, I missed it. Janken: Oh, well. I'm gonna go get lunch. Want to come with? Slackbot: Nah, I'll hold the fort down here. Get me some takeout, would you? Janken: Sure. I'm going to Jason's Deli. Salad bar all...

When does the ceremony resume?

Janken: Good thing I brought my jammies. Slackbot: When did you change? Janken: When the camera was pointing elsewhere, of course. Slackbot: Ask a silly question... Janken: ...Be a Silly Creature.

Janken: [to Cotterpin] When Fraggles give out our yearly awards, it's not really like we're saying we're best at this or that, it's more a way of just being recognized for something good about you. Like you might get "niftiest new Doozer tower designer." Not like you're competing with someone...

Janken: [aside to Slackbot] How many awards are there? Slackbot: About thirty. Janken: How many have they given out? Slackbot: Three or four. Janken: I should have brought my toothbrush, shouldn't I? Slackbot: Looks like it, yep.

(Catches the water balloon with her hands...and shirt...and face. The "plushie" snickers.)

/me sneaks in during the applause, hoping that nobody notices her fashionably late entrance, and also hoping that nobody will notice that the fuzzy purple critter she's carrying isn't a large plushie. Finds her seat, and checks the program to see what she's missed.
