Okay folks, here's the deal:

My daughter teaches an exercise class for the "Over-65" set to improve cardio-vascular well being. All the participants love the class...hate the title -- Who wants to be in a "Seniors...Anything".

So, Mr. and Ms. Phelps, your job, should you decide to accept it, is to come up with a much-improved title for her class. My daughter will be the judge...her decision on the winning replacement title is final. The Grand Prize will be the satisfaction of knowing that you won!

My congratulations go to SilentAiche as well, for being a winner in both categories.

Congrats to ChrisHunt and DrJavaJoe!! And thanks to Santa and MiniSanta - this was fun.

As the first-and-a-half place winner, I'd like to thank Bacardi, my chair, and uh,... what was the question again?

[purple]Hey, let go of me you stupid rent-a-cops! I don't care if you are security around here! No one told me that only the "first" place guys got to make a speech! This sucks!

THAT DOES IT - I'M SPENDING ALL MY WINNINGS ON CIGARETTES! HA![/PURPLE]

I would like to thank my parents for raising such a brilliant, handsome, wise and as close to perfect as a man can be, son. Really, I mean it my brother is a great guy.

MiniMufasa, I must say, excellent choice.

Thank you, thank you. Please settle down, everyone.

First, I would like to thank my lovely fiancée. I love you, baby. Also, my paren....

What's that? I didn't win anything? I didn't even get an honorable mention? [sadeyes]

Well screw you guys, I'm going home.[evil]

Seriously, though, fine choices in both categories. Great suggestions, guys.

I'd like to act out my feelings with a scene from the Spongebob Squarepants Movie...

**Drumroll - Winner Annoucement Imminent**
The Academy: Now, before we begin posting, I’d like to announce the name of our contest winner. [the forum claps, craigsboyd cheers obnoxiously from the front row. The Academy clears its throat] Yes, well, anyway… The winner is a loyal, hard-working forum member. [craigsboyd sits anticipating]
craigsboyd: [in his mind] Yes…
The Academy: The obvious choice for the title and the win. [craigsboyd is even more eager]
craigsboyd: [in his mind] He’s right.
The Academy: A name you all know, it starts with a “C”. [craigsboyd is about to explode with anticipation]
craigsboyd: [in his mind] That’s me!
The Academy: Please welcome the winner of our title contest… ChrisHunt and DrJavaJoe! [a banner with their faces on it unfurls. But craigsboyd has become so sure of his win that he explodes with joy anyway]
craigsboyd: YES! YEAH!! [he laughs and shakes ChrisHunt's and DrJavaJoe's hands] Oh, better luck next time, buddies! [he continues whooping and hollering as he makes his way on stage and approaches the podium. The forum is speechless] People of Making an Impression, as the winner of- [The Academy leans over to craigsboyd]
The Academy: Uh… craigsboyd?
craigsboyd: [to forum] Hold the phone, folks, I’m getting an important news flash from the Academy. Go ahead, Academy. [the Academy whispers to craigsboyd] I’m making a complete what of myself? [the Academy continues whispering] THE most embarrassing thing you’ve ever seen? [the Academy continues whispering] And now it’s worse because I’m repeating everything you say into the microphone?
The Academy: Oh, for crying out loud, craigsboyd, you didn’t win the contest!
craigsboyd: What?
The Academy: [slowly] You did not win the contest.
craigsboyd: But… but why?
The Academy: craigsboyd, you’re a great forum member, but I gave the award to ChrisHunt and DrJavaJoe because being the winner of the contest is a big responsibility. Well, let’s face it, they're more… mature than you.
craigsboyd: I’m not… mature?
The Academy: Ah, lad, I mean this in the nicest of ways, but there’s a word for what you are and that word is… uh… now, let’s see…
Forum Member: Dork?
The Academy: No, wait, that’s not right. Not a dork.
SantaMufasa: [in forum] A goofball?
The Academy: Closer, but no, no, no.
Forum Member 2: A ding-a-ling?
Forum Member 3: A wingnut?
CajunCenturion: A knucklehead McSpazatron?
The Academy: Okay, that’s enough. Look, what I’m trying to say is, you’re just a kid. And to be a winner, you have to be a man. Otherwise they’d call it “kid-ner.” You understand-ner? I mean… you understand?
craigsboyd: …I guess so, Academy. [craigsboyd walks away crestfallen into the sunset]

I'd like to say...
Code:
IF (there were an unfortunate event such that [b]ChrisHunt and DrJavaJoe[/b] could not fulfil their roles as crowned winners) AND 
   ([b]SilentAiche[/b] closer approximates his monaker) THEN
  (I'll flip [b]CajunCenturion[/b] for the coveted honor)
ELSE
  (WHO will carry the torch????)
END IF

You guys are hilarious [roll2]. I've been trying to explain to "MiniMufasa" what manner of folk I'm part of here on MAI, but this thread just about says it all.[jester] Thanks for the fun [so far]. I'm sure there's more to come.

Oh, yes...there is almost too much fun to be had in trying to imagine CajunCenturion calling ANYONE a McSpazatron!

Congratulations to the winners! Excellent choices, MiniMufasa!
Thanks!

When does the 2006 contest begin?

1) [blue]Flex of Gray[/blue] (can't believe we ALL missed that one)

ii) [blue]AeroBic = Flying Lighter[/blue]

3) [blue]This can't be [red]YUGO[/red] - We're RUNNING![/blue]


And as for Skip's comment, I'm not sure if he wanted me to be quiet (that would place him in the majority), or hurt, or go "Huuuuuu." And, I'll have him know that I wear glasses, which are like two monicles..., wait, never mind. Having reread his comments, I'd only say that Ive heard that approximating one's moniker can cause hair to grow on one's palms.
