    *Mystical music fills the hall, flowing from the glowing golden pipe... Singing: I said 1, 2, play me do, let me sound as sweet as you. Play me wide, play me long, let me be your song!
    All: Hail Cantus!
    Cantus: Hail Muppet Central! Tidings to you all. As the life of a minstrel takes us everywhere and then nowhere, we all welcome the chance to return to the somewhere we used to know. And in that respect, the somewhere is that which where you also have to leave sometimes. But if you listen to your heart, you will find that that somewhere is always where you are. Indeed, listening is the first step and the last step. So listen to me... As I declare as a Fraggle, it is good to return, even for the briefest of instances. So in honor of the Return to the Insanity, we give this nice trophy to a James "Jamie" Caroll... Though some of you call him frogboy4.

    Cantus: Now that one less trophy remains, we are one trophy closer to happiness. *Plays his golden pipes again as he wends offstage to the music pit awaiting intermission after the next prize to be named.

    Um... About that Luke, you'll just have to tune in and judge for yourself.

    Moving onwards... I'd like to invite a special guest for the last award of the first half of our show.
    Ladies and gentlemen...
    The Jim Henson Muppet walks cooly up to the stage and clears his throat.

    Jim: Hello everybody. First, let me thank everyone who has made this a great place for Muppets and Muppet fans all over the world to come and talk and generally feel welcome. That's what my friend Jim would have wanted. So I've been asked to hand out the MC Lifetime Achievement award. This one goes out to a very special person... Without whom we wouldn't be here today. It's because of this person's dedication and hard work that this place is "The" premiere Muppet fansite. And the winner is...
    *Prolonged drumroll from Animal, who's tense and restlessly waiting to cut loose...
    Mr. Phillip Chapman.

    We all want to say congratulations on two important 10-milestones: ushering in over 10000 members past the doors of your great online community, and your website/town's tenth anniversary. Here's wishing many more happy events come your way in the coming years.

    All clap and applaud as the curtains go down, lights turn on, and intermission sign tells everybody it's time to party for a while at least before the second half of the ceremony begins.

    *Yawns* Oh, what a great night's sleep I had!

    What ho? I won ANOTHER award this year? Whooaaaaaaaaaa! I can't believe it! For best thread killer? Awesome!

    First of all, I want to thank God, and I'd also like to tell Him to forget about what Kathy Griffin said for she knew not what she did... well, actually she did, but she'll be burning in h e l l anyway for it, so...

    Next, I want to thank my dear, dear friend MrsPepper for establishing her own T*K*O unit after the 3976th was already taken, and you didn't want the 3977th, so you created the half! *Gives MrsPepper a hug to tight, I almost break her ribcage* Oops, sorry, but hey, you DID win "Most Huggable"! *Gives Peppi a smaller hug*

    Because of MrsPepper's guidance, my thread killing abilities have extended into actual FORUM killing abilities! So, thanks to all, and to all a good... uh morning?

    Tony leaps onto the stage, and grabs a microphone.

    Well...just because it's intermission doesn't mean the fun has to stop, right? I'm gonna do a little song for you now, with the help of my three backup singers...(looks off, into wings) Come on out, girls, don't be shy!

    Grudgingly, Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo and Gypsy, from MST3K enter from the wings. They are wearing women's wigs, and don't look too happy to be up here. They crowd around an extra microphone.

    Now this song...this song is dedicated to all of you out there, who have ever misinterpreted the lyrics to a song. Now who hasn't, huh? I think that's something we all have in common.

    Anyway...I'm not sure what the actual title of this song is, but it's commonly called "Burning Rubber Tires," because...well, just because. It was featured in the classic MST3K episode, Pod People, an E.T. meets Alf meets The Partridge Family...thingie...movie! Yes, I'm sorry, it's a movie. Kinda got lost there...

    So, without further to do...I give you..."Burning Rubber Tires!"

    Tony loosens his tux tie, then turns to his three "female" backup singers.

    All right, let's do it! You come in late again, girls, you're outta here! All right? From the top!

    A cheesy backing track, upbeat and poppy, is heard over the sound system. Tony begins a strange, awkward dance as he sings...

    With a pickled mind,
    We kick the whipple beer,
    Steady as a goat,
    We're flying over trout!

    Get on down the highway
    At the speed of light,
    All I want to feel now is
    The wind in my eyes!

    Sack of monkeys in my pocket,
    My sister's ready to go!

    Tony, Crow & Tom: Hear the engines roar now!

    Gypsy (a beat behind) Hear the engines roar now!

    Tony, Crow & Tom: Idiot control now!

    Gypsy: Idiot control now!

    Tony, Crow & Tom: Hideous control now!

    Gypsy: Hideous control now!

    Tony, Crow & Tom: Nitty on the road now!

    Gypsy: Nitty on the road now!

    Tony, Crow & Tom:

    Midi in control,
    Wheels on fire,
    Burning rubber tires!

    Gypsy: Rubber tires!

    Tony, Crow and Tom: Near each other rolls now!

    Gypsy: Near...now!

    Tony, Crow & Tom: He really lets me go now!

    Gypsy: He...let...go...

    Tony, Crow & Tom: Needy inches bow down!

    Gypsy: Bow down!

    Tony, Crow & Tom: Pity and a poor boy!

    Gypsy: Poor boy!

    Tony, Crow & Tom:

    Hear the X's roll,
    Peas on fire,
    Burning rubber tires!

    Gypsy: Tires!

    The song comes to an end.

    Crow: What do you think, Tony?

    Tony (smiles cheesily, and gives an "okay" sign with his fingers) It stinks!

    *Waves hands off in the air after Tony's song. Eeeeeeh...
    Isn't Gypsy a girl anyway?
    *Animal's eyebrow goes up.
    Wha? *Chases after Gypsy. Wo-man! Wo-man!
    *Instrumental version of Can You Picture That? starts to play as the concession stand opens up for business.

    *We'll get to the second half of the show later today folks, so feel free to mingle.

    *Lights dim as the second half of the show is about to get underway...

    OK, after speaking to a friend of the show, we're ready to resume this year's festivities. *Nervous about how I sounded and how it'll sound to everybody else.

    The affable amphibian puts a hand on my shoulder to relax me before he slips into his second-nature host mode.

    Kermit: Hi-ho... And welcome once again to the 4th somewhat annual Muppet Central awards. This time around, we'll be handing out awards for Muppet Appreciation categories. The first one of these, is the Muppet enthusiast award. So it really makes me happy... To introduce to you...

    Ru: (in hoarse stage whisper from under her seat, where she is hiding) Would it be possible for the posts that announce the award to be titled with the name of the award? I'm having trouble telling which award is being awarded, because the name is sometimes buried in the description.
    Beauregard: Does anybody else hear a horse?
    Zoot: Is that where the voices are coming from?
    Piggy: Knock it off, bozos, or I'll flatten you!

    For a moment I was afraid that was a reference to the awards I made. x)

    <3

    Which are the pretty ones with the random pictures.
    And the weird framing.

    *helping Claudia up, turning to Bunsen* She's been doing that a lot lately. Maybe you should examine her when we get back to the dorms. *burying head in sleeve, then grinning evilly.*
