::Chip comes out, walking huffily
to the podium::
Chip: Well, they asked me to give the award for Best Satire, but I can’t
<i>imagine</i> why. After all, satire’s about “witty language used
to convey insults or scorn” and I’m never insulting or scornful.
Dale (from the audience): You’re never witty, either! And on the scornful part, did you count this morning when you called me “walnut-brain”?!
Chip: That’s different. You are a walnut-brain!
Dale: Says you!
::Chip sighs and continues::
Chip: The nominees for Best Satire are:
“We Need Censorship!”, CD
“The Book of Ranger Love”, Rennod
“Should've Been a Ranger”, KS
“The Ballad of Dale Oakmont”, Indy
“I'm a Believer”, Bock's Car 509
::Chip opens the envelope::
Chip: And this year’s winner is…Rennod? But his work wasn’t insulting or
scornful!
Dale: But it was witty!
::Rennod comes up, flabbergasted he
won::
Rennod: Wow. I didn’t even think I’d win this year. Thanks everyone for giving
me the vote of confidence on this one! It’s true, my work’s not really about
satire but more tongue-in-cheek. Still, I’m sure it’s insulting to someone,
just not anyone around here. Thanks again, folks!
::Rennod takes his trophy and Dale takes off, looking for a good place to hide::
