"TO PRESENT OUR FIRST AWARD OF THE EVENING, DISTORTED HUMOR
PLEASE WELCOME ~SHELDON COOPER~ FROM THE BIG-BANG-THEORY
WHERE HIS BRAND OF 'HUMOR' IS BEYOND JUST DISTORTED!"

''THANK YOU KIND SIR ...
DISTORTED HUMOR IS AN AMBIGUOUS TERM THAT IS IN THE MIND
OF THE BEHOLDER ~ SOME HUMANS FIND THE SILLIEST THINGS
TO BE WORTHY OF LAUGHTER ~ BUT, TO EACH THEIR OWN, EH!

THIS YEAR, ONCE AGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME:
~TIGER DANCER~ IS GUILTY OF DISTORTED HUMOR -&- TWISTED WIT
WE HAVE LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES SHE WINS THIS
BUT ----> EASILY DESERVED!

HONORABLE MENTIONS TO:
~RUFFIAN~ ---> WHO, WEEK AFTER WEEK,
OFFERS HER OWN 'BRAND' OF DISTORTED HUMOR IN HER RACE CALLS

ALSO A SHOUT OUT TO ~SIR ''STARK THE SHARK''~
WHO OFFERED SOME VERY AMUSING -&- ENTERTAINING COMMENTARIES
HE HAS BEEN M.I.A FOR SOME TIME, MUCH TO THE DISAPPOINTMENT
OF HIS MANY FANS WHO HAVE HIGH HOPES TO SEE HIS RETURN! ''

"THANK YOU, SHELDON

OUR NEXT AWARD IS CALLED: ''LOST IN THE FOG''
IT USUALLY GOES TO THE LOWEST $$ WINNING RACE
SOME TIMES IT GOES TO A HORSE WHO ARRIVES AT THE WRONG TRACK!

TO PRESENT THIS TROPHY, PLEASE WELCOME ~MR SHERLOCK HOLMES~
WHO HAS NO PROBLEM AT ALL FINDING WHAT IS 'LOST' IN THE FOG''

''THANK YOU, INSPECTOR ...
I DID NOT HAVE TO LOOK VERY FAR TO DISCOVER THE RECIPIENT
OF THIS YEAR'S 'LOST IN THE FOG' TROPHY ....
IT WAS REALLY RATHER VERY ELEMENTARY

THIS YEAR'S RECIPIENT OF THE LOST IN THE FOG AWARD IS....
~STARK-THE-SHARK~ WHO MANAGED TO WIN A RACE WITH $37.60
WHICH MAY BE AN ALL TIME 'LOW' IN THE HISTORY OF THE AWARD!

HONORABLE MENTION TO ~REAL QUIET~ WHO WOUND UP AT
THE WRONG TRACK IN WHICH HE WAS ENTERED TO RUN!''
... WHICH WAY DID I GO??

''OUR NEXT AWARD IS: ''THE PRECIOUS''
THE GOLDEN RING IS THE 'REWARD' FOR FINISHING 4th
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, PER THE 'ORDER' OF:
BRIDE, BRIDESMAID, FLOWER-BEARER AND RING-BEARER
aka = THE 1 RING TO RULE THEM ALL!

COMING ALL THE WAY FROM THE SHIRE,
UNDER THE CLOAK OF DARKNESS IS ~GOLLUM~
WHO ACCORDING TO GANDALF THE GRAY,
SUDDENLY HAD A 'CHANGE OF HEART' ABOUT 'HIS PRECIOUS'

IT IS RUMORED THAT SINCE THIS IS THE 3rd YEAR FOR THIS WINNER,
GOLLUM HAD A ROUND OF REMORSE, A BREAK FROM POSSESSIVENESS
AND DECIDED TO DO A 180 TURNABOUT TO PRESENT THIS AWARD!

.......

MAY WE PLEASE DIM THE LIGHTS -&- REFRAIN FROM APPLAUSE OR
NOISE OF ANY KIND, SO WE DO NOT FRIGHTEN GOLLUM AS HE MAKES
HIS WAY SLOWLY TO THE STAGE ... HE IS NOT ACCUSTOMED TO THIS
TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE OR HUMANS IN SUCH GREAT NUMBERS''

A HUSH FALLS OVER THE CROWD ... HEADS TURN TOWARDS THE AISLE
WHERE GOLLUM VERY CAUTIOUSLY IS CREEPING TOWARDS THE STAGE....


''MY PRECIOUS ~ MY PRECIOUS ~ I MUST HAVE MY PRECIOUS
OH MY ~ I'VE HAD A SUDDEN RELAPSE ... FORGIVE THIS PITIFUL ONE

TOO MANY YEARS OF SELFISH POSSESSIVENESS
ARE HARD TO OVERCOME -- BUT SINCE I MADE A VOW TO GANDALF,
I MUST FULFILL MY PROMISE AND PRESENT 'MY PRECIOUS'
TO ONE WHO, FOR THE 3rd YEAR IN A ROW
HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY ENOUGH TO HAVE IT!

AS YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE GUESSED:
~BLUNNY 'THE ENERGIZER BUNNY'~
WHO MAY NOT HAVE FINISHED 1st MORE THAN OTHERS....
BUT HAS AN UNCANNY KNACK OF STEALING THE PRECIOUS --> 18 TIMES!!
~~~~~

HONORABLE MENTION: ~CIGARSHOP~ WITH 13...''

SLOWLY THE LIGHTS ARE BEING BRIGHTENED SO AS TO NOT
FRIGHTEN GOLLUM LEAVING THE STAGE ... APPEARING VERY
DEPRESSED AT HAVING HIS HANDS ON 'THE PRECIOUS' ...
ONLY TO GIVE IT AWAY TO ANOTHER!

''AS WE ALL KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE
BLUNNY WILL HAVE TO BE VERY DILIGENT WITH WHEREVER HE
PLACES 'THE PRECIOUS' ... BECAUSE IN SPITE OF HIS GOOD INTENTIONS
WE KNOW HOW GOLLUM IS ABOUT THAT GOLDEN RING!''

WE NOW COME TO THE NEXT AWARD THAT SOME CONSIDER TO BE
'A DUBIOUS HONOR' AS IN ORDER TO WIN IT,
ONE MUST FINISH LAST MORE THAN ANY OTHER!

THE FILLYS LAND IN THE CAT HOUSE ~ THE COLTS TO THE DOG HOUSE

TO PRESENT THE CAT HOUSE KEY AWARD
PLEASE WELCOME ~SPEEDY-GONZALEZ~
YES FOLKS, IT IS A MOUSE IN THE CAT HOUSE BUT AS WE KNOW
HE IS FASTER THAN MOST OF THOSE LAZY PUSSYCATS JUST NAPPING''

''SI SI SENOR COLUMBO ... I AM VERRRRY VERRRRY FAST
THEY DON'T CALL ME 'SPEEDY' CAUSE I'M SLOW!

HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO ~TIGER DANCER~ WITH 21 KEYS

BUT THE SUPURRR FAST CHEETAH ~RUFFIAN~ TOOK THE MASTER KEY
WITH ---> 23 TENACIOUS TRIPS TO THE COLOSSAL CAT HOUSE!

UH OH .... HERE SHE COMES AT LIGHTNING SPEED
SO THIS MIGHTY MOUSE IS OUTTA HERE!
AYE CARUMBA! EEEEEEEEEEEK!

''AS THE SPEEDY GONZALEZ DASHES OFF TO SAFETY....
WE NOW TURN OUR ATTENTION TO THE NEXT AWARD

PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME WITH A WONDROUS 'WOOF'
TO A CHARISMATIC CANINE.... ~SCOOBY DOO~''

''WOOF WOOF WOOF! THANKS FOR NO FIRE IN THAT CIGAR, SIR
OR YOU MIGHT BE HEARING: COUGH COUGH NOT WOOF-WOOF!

EQUALLY QUESTIONABLE LIKE THE 'CAT HOUSE'
WONDERING --- 'IS IT AN 'HONOR' OR...?'
THE 'DOG HOUSE' IS REALLY NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS!

IT IS OUTFITTED WITH ALL THE 'CREATURE COMFORTS' THAT
ANY COLT WOULD ENJOY ---> BEER, BOOZE -& -BABES!

THIS YEAR THE FILLY'S CAT HOUSE ENTERTAINED WAY MORE
OCCUPANTS THAN THE DOG HOUSE (*23 CAT HOUSE -vs- 6 DOG HOUSE)
WONDER WHY THAT IS?

WITHOUT CRIMINAL TYPE IN THE GATE THIS YEAR....
IT LEFT THE DOG HOUSE DOOR WIDE OPEN FOR ALL!

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT IS ~CIGARSHOP~ WITH 6 KEYS
WHO TAKES HOME THIS AWARD AND A CASE OF SCOOBY SNACKS''

RUNNER UP: ~POST-TIME-MIKE~ WITH 5 KEYS

THERE THEY GO ~ HOOF -&- PAW TROTTING UP THE AISLE
... AND I AM OFF TO GO DIG UP A BONE!''

''AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ...

THE 'GOLDEN GOOSE EGG' AWARD IS FOR RUNNING A RACE
AND RETURNING TO THE BARN WITH ZERO $$$
NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS THO!

HERE TO PRESENT THE GOLDEN GOOSE EGG AWARD:
PLEASE WELCOME SUPER IRON CHEF ~BOBBY FLAY~
WHO HAS PROMISED TO NOT TURN THE GOLDEN GOOSE EGG
INTO A FANCY EXPENSIVE OMELETTE! ''

''THANK YOU, INSPECTOR, AND YES I DID PROMISE THAT
THO, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO COMPLY ... I AM A MAN OF HONOR!

THIS YEAR 3 BANKRUPT FILLYS FEATHERED THEIR NESTS
WITH 1 GOLDEN GOOSE EGG: ~CATALINA~
WITH 2 GOLDEN GOOSE EGGS: ~RUFFIAN~

BUT WITH 3 GLORIOUS GOLDEN GOOSE EGGS: ~TIGER DANCER~''

"THANK YOU, BOBBY ....

NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE GOLDEN GOOSE EGG IN AN OMELETTE ...
BOBBY FLAY HAS OFFERED TO SUPPLY VERY ELABORATE FEATHERS
FOR TIGER DANCER'S FANCY NEST!
....

HERE TO PRESENT OUR NEXT AWARD: 'BRIDESMAID OF THE YEAR'
WHICH AS IT SUGGESTS, FINISHING AS RUNNER-UP THE MOST TIMES

PLEASE GIVE A ROUSING ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO THE ONE + ONLY
~RUPAUL~ WHO SURELY KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT FANCY DRESSES!"

''O THANK YOU LUSCIOUS LIEUTENANT AND GRACIOUS GREETINGS Y'ALL!

BEING A RUNNER UP SO OFTEN CAN DO WONDERS TO AFFECT
ONE'S 'EGO' AND SELF ESTEEM .... WONDERING WHY
IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO HIT THE WIRE FIRST?

YET, TO HELP EASE THAT ANGST, IS THE FACT
THAT IN ALL THOSE RACES RUNNING 2nd~
CONSIDER HOW MANY WERE RUNNING
BEHIND 2nd AT THE WIRE!

AND SPEAKING OF BEING A 'RUNNER-UP'
TAKING 2nd PLACE FOR BRIDESMAID OF THE YEAR: ~RUFFIAN~ (11 GOWNS)

BUT THE RUNAWAY WINNER -- WITH 22 BRIDESMAID GOWNS: ~BLUNNY~
NOW THAT IS GONNA REQUIRE A LARGER CLOSET FOR SURE!"

''THANK YOU, RUPAUL FOR THAT DELIGHTFUL PRESENTATION

... OH YEH, JUST ONE MORE THING ...
RUPAUL HAS OFFERED TO CONSULT WITH BLUNNY ON IDEAS
FOR A NEW ELABORATE GLORIOUS GOWN CLOSET!

OUR NEXT AWARD SHOULD BE 'SUB-TITLED' -- 'FRUSTRATION FIASCO'
BECAUSE IT IS GIVEN TO ALL WHO RUN FOR THE ELUSIVE 3-PEAT
BUT FAIL TO GAIN THE GLORY

HERE TO PRESENT THE 'FROSTED WHISKER' TROPHY IS:
~TONY THE TIGER~ ALONG WITH A BOX OF HIS FAMOUS FROSTED FLAKES!

{WE CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF HE 'MISUNDERSTOOD' THE TERM
FROSTED WHISKER BEING RELATED TO FROSTED FLAKES?}''

''MEOW MEOW MEOW SIR COLUMBO
I BROUGHT MY FROSTED FLAKES TO SWEETEN THE SORROW OF
THE 'ALMOST-DID-IT' FEELING OF 'NO-3-PEAT-FOR-ME' DOWNER!

WE HAD 5 WHO WERE DISAPPOINTED ONCE:
RUFFIAN ~ CIGARSHOP ~ REAL QUIET ~ CATALINA ~ THUNDER CAT

BUT EVEN GETTING THE 1st TWO LEGS OF THE 3-PEAT, IS STILL
A GRRRR--RR--REAT ACCOMPLISHMENT TO BE PROUD OF DOING!

THIS YEAR'S FROSTED WHISKER TROPHY GOES TO ~BLUNNY~
WITH HAVING TRIED TWICE .... YET FAILED ---> TWICE!!

~A NICE TROPHY TO DISPLAY -AND-
YOU CAN DRINK YOUR SORROWS AWAY~

ONCE IS TUFF ENUFF.... BUT TWICE??
NEED A BIG HEAD OF LUSCIOUS LETTUCE
FOR THIS COLT AND ... I ALSO BROUGHT
A CASE OF FROSTED FLAKES JUST FOR HIM!"

''THANK YOU, TONY ...
FOR YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS -&- GENEROSITY!

WE NOW MOVE ON TO THE MORE IMPRESSIVE
AND DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE AWARDS
ALL OF WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN MANY EXTREMELY
CLOSE CONTESTS INCLUDING DEAD HEATS!

THIS YEAR MORE THAN ANY OTHER SEEMED TO BE MORE
CLOSELY CONTESTED THAN IN RECENT MEMORY

OUR NEXT AWARD TURNS FROM DISAPPOINTMENT TO GLEE!
