::Mayhem strides out onto the stage, prompting a few gasps from the audience in the process::

Mayhem: What? You never seen a wolf before? And don't ask me what time it is, I'm not going to eat you.

::Watching the reaction and hushed mumblings of a few near the front causes him to re-evaluate his thoughts::

Mayhem: Oh...the uniform? Or lack thereof. I don't do formal, so don't mention it again.

::Flipping the sealed envelope about in his hand, he addresses the audience properly::

Mayhem: Anyhow... this is my first Golden Acorn Awards ceremony and it's good to be here. Onto business, the category of Best Black and White Image for 2007. Now a loss of colour does not mean a loss of impact, of feeling, or of meaning. You only have to look at two of my favourite comics, Usagi Yojimbo and TMNT, to see the power of a greyscale production. And think of all the classic films that are likewise.

::Halting his manipulation of the envelope, he comes to the final point::

Mayhem: Face it, how can you not get enjoyment from something in black and white?

::A quietened comment erupts from a single person in the audience::

Mayhem: Okay... so maybe watching snooker* is going to be somewhat tricky. And with that, the nominations are, and boy are there quite a few...

Mayhem: All fully deserving, in my opinion. Though there has to be a winner—or winners. You never know how these things are going to go. You want me to get on with it? Fine, and the award goes to...wow, only one winner, but it's a great choice. The winner is Fish, for "Dale and Foxy Hangin' Out"!

::The audience stands and cheers as Fish comes up on stage and takes over the podium::

Fish: Whoa, thanks everyone! I think the Rangerphile consciousness is steadily drifting towards these two. Classic counter culture movement.

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

Fish: I have to confess that it’s actually a color image, but I forgot to pay my internet color bill the day I posted it. Am I still eligible?

::The audience laughs and Fish once again lifts his trophy high as he exits the stage. Mayhem nods toward the audience and trails after him::
