::Dr. Indy comes out on stage and clears his throat when he reaches the podium::

 

Indy: The award for Best All-Time Fanfiction represents the pinnacle of writing ability in the Rangerphile community.  With so many great fanfics to choose from, it’s truly a mark of greatness.  So far, only a handful of our writings have reached this place of noted honor.  Tonight, we honor one of those.

 

The nominees for Best All-Time Fanfiction include:

 

Of Mice and Mayhem

Diamonds in the Desert by Midnight Man

The Pivotal Divide by Mayhem

The Rangerillion by Mr. Spumoni

Rangers of the Lost Car-park by Stainless Steel Rat

Knight Rangers by RR-Crusader

 

Dale (from the audience): Fish, fish, fish!

 

Indy: Actually, this one was closer than I expected.

 

::The audience murmurs as Indy opens the envelope::

 

Indy: But rest easy, Fish fans.  “Of Mice and Mayhem” came out on top again!

 

::As the audience stands and cheers, Fish runs down the aisle, up on the stage and stops at the podium::

 

Fish: I want to thank each and every one of you...

 

::The fish begins pointing at various members of the audience::

 

Fish: thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you- thank you-

 

::Fish passes out.  Indy chuckles over at stage left and turns his head toward Monty::

 

Indy: Acceptance overload.  Just like the old days, ain’t it, Monty?  Well, better get him out of here.

 

Monty: No problem, mate.

 

::Monty brings out a wheelbarrow he’d been saving for any case of acceptance overload and promptly deposits Fish and his award in the wheelbarrow.  The audience applauds as Monty waves one of Fish’s fins toward the crowd.  Then a whiff of cheddar comes from stage left.  Monty’s moustache twinges and he and the wheelbarrow break the sound barrier as he exits stage left::

 

Dr. Batorious:  Okay, one last break, folks, before the final awards of the night are presented and we have our grand finale!  The 2007 Golden Acorn awards will be right back…
