[RUFFIAN]

''JUST ONE MORE THING ...

WE HAVE ARRANGED A 'MATCH RACE' BETWEEN USAIN BOLT AND
LADY ELI -- INSTEAD OF A COLT -- TO MAYBE LEVEL THE FIELD A BIT
IN HIS FAVOR, THO IT'S UNLIKELY HE WILL HIT THE WIRE 1st!

WELL FOLKS, NOW WE COME TO THE FINAL CURTAIN, THE 'BIG ONE'   
     THE ESTEEMED -- HORSE OF THE YEAR AWARD

DUE TO THIS SEASON HAVING SUCH TIGHTLY CONTESTED CONTENDERS
WE WILL BE DOING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
TO DETERMINE THE FINAL OUTCOME:

SIMILAR TO THE TV SERIES: 'HOT BENCH' =  WITH 3 JUDGES
WE HAVE CALLED IN OUR TOP 3 TV JUDGES TO MAKE THE FINAL CALL

PLEASE GIVE A 'NON-JUDGMENTAL' WELCOME TO:
JUDGE JUDY, JUDGE MARILYN -&- JUDGE MATHIS

THESE THREE RENOWN JUDGES WILL HAVE A VERY TUFF TIME''


A HUSH FALLS OVER THE CROWD
AS THE 3 JUDGES APPROACH THE STAGE



JUDGE JUDY IS ABOUT TO SPEAK:

''BEFORE WE BEGIN, WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER AN ADDITIONAL
'SPECIAL SERVICE APPRECIATION AWARD' TO ~TIGER DANCER~

FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL DEDICATION... DETERMINATION
AND EXHAUSTING HOURS OF RESEARCH TO PROVIDE
OUTSTANDINGLY CLEVER -&- WITTY GRAPHICS
TO THE RACE RESULTS EVERY WEEK THAT TURNS
RACE CALLS INTO AN EXTRAORDINARY MAGICAL EVENT
       


                                     
AND NOW ON WITH THE MOMENT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR:
    THE HORSE OF THE YEAR AWARD   

THIS YEAR COULD BE SUB-TITLED: ''DOUBLE TROUBLE''
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE COLTS FOUND THEMSELVES
DEALING WITH WEEK AFTER WEEK THE ENTIRE YEAR!

OUR DECISION DID NOT COME EASY -- AS THE 3 OF US
COULD NOT AGREE ON A FINAL SINGLE HOTY CHOICE ....

**AND NOW A STANDING OVATION FOR ALL OF OUR
             2017 MEOW-MIX AWARD WINNERS**


SO ANOTHER YEAR HAS SLIPPED INTO THE RECORD BOOKS
~~A YEAR OF TEARS -&- CHEERS .... SORROW -&- JOY~~

TEARS FOR OUR 2 LONG TIME COLTS
  CRIMINAL TYPE -&- JOHN HENRY 
WHO NOW RUN ACROSS THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

CHEERS AS WE SAW DUSTY -&- CRUZAN GAIN 3-PEAT VICTORY

SOME YEARS THE COLTS WERE UNTOUCHABLE IN ALMOST ALL AWARDS
SUCH AS:   CRIMINAL TYPE ~ REAL QUIET ~ STARK

SOME YEARS SAW A 'DOUBLE-BUBBLE' OF HOTY GLORY
CATALINA -&- CRIMINAL TYPE .... RUFFIAN -&- STARK

THIS PAST YEAR IT WAS THE FRISKY, FIERCE -&- FIERY FILLYS
  WHO BROUGHT THEIR 'A' GAME TO THE RECORD BOOKS!
            A = AMAZING ~ ASTOUNDING ~ AWESOME

BUT AS THE FINAL CURTAIN FALLS, 
ANOTHER NEW YEAR IS ON THE HORIZON
WAITING TO FILL THE RECORD BOOKS WITH
NEW EXCITING MOMENTS TO REMEMBER AND CHERISH

THE MEOW MIX STAFF WISH TO THANK ALL WHO MAKE OUR FORUM

I'm a sucker for a good awards show, watched the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, neither of which got my juices flowing.

But now we have the world famous MeowMix awards, and the presentation was as good as the show was all year long!

Congrats to the victors on a job well done, and most important, very glad y'all had a good time every week.
Special thanks to Ruff, TigerDancer and all the contributors.

IT IS WAY BEYOND ''COUNTLESS HOURS''  ==> ENDLESS DAYS IS MORE THE NORM

BUT I LOVE DOING IT BECAUSE THIS FORUM FEELS MORE LIKE 'FAMILY' TO ME ~
GENUINE CARING AND CONCERN FOR EACH OTHER ~ FUN ~ DISTORTED HUMOR!
        IN MY OPINION:  TRULY THE MOST UNIQUE & FUN-FILLED FORUM OF ALL! 
                                                     

              FEEDBACK OF APPRECIATION IS LIKE FOOD FOR THE SOUL
SO CATNIP LACED HUGS TO SIR CIGARSHOP FOR HIS THOUGHTFUL COMMENTS!   

[Catalina]

Congratulations to all our winners, and a standing ovation to Ruffian and Tiger Dancer on producing another stellar Meow Mix Awards of the Year presentation and graphics!

[Real Quiet]

Congrats to the winners and kudos to Ruff and Tiger for a job well done.

[peeptoad]

Congrats to all award winners! And special thanks to the fillies who keep these contests going! Let's keep running through 2018 and beyond!

For some reason I'm not seeing any smileys right now (prob my phone, not the forum ) otherwise there'd be thumbs up and dancing chickens everywhere! 

[Dusty]

WOW - what an incredible presentation - SO MUCH fun and MANY surprises - CONGRATS to all winners - TIGER - it is an honor to share the award with YOU!
Presenters - YOU GET PLATINUM STARS - Thank you for this and for all you do!!!

Its amazing what Ruff and Tiger can do with a computer,  my attempts end up with me booting it.
Heck the first time some one told me to post something, I used a post-it note
Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, loss of memory is one
Still looking for the any key
I am told to back up my files, where's the reverse key
These are the reasons I am amazed by the skills Tiger and Ruff possess,
their creativity makes me wonder if they were ever able to paint the clouds,
what a beautiful world this would be..

[PostTimeMike]

Another fantastic Meow-Mix Awards ceremony!!! Lady Cat and Tiger Dancer were simply outstanding with their presentations!!

Congrats to all the winners!!!
