The Toon Zone Member Awards: The Winners.

[Mr. Pedro]

Ladies and gentlemen. The time has finally counted.

The voices have been heard and the voices have been counted.

All that's left is the handing out of pixelated trinkets and goodwill.

Welcome one and all to the third annual Toon Zone Member Awards! Now for the first time in TZ Award history, you will not have to hear me present each and every award. Yes, I out-sourced some of the work to willing co-conspirators, who I shall thank time and time again for what they've done.

Now let's get the ball rolling here. Presenting the first award of the evening(s) is a newly older and wiser, Captain Zechs! (Most convenient birthday announcement ever).

-----------------------------------------
Spam is the posting of advertisements, abusive, or unneeded messages on Internet Forums. It is generally posted by people refrenced by the term “noobs,” or “newbies.” These 2 terms however, are very different. While one is a negative connotation, noob, meaning that you know the ropes and still do useless things, such as posting spam, the other just means you are new and have time to learn. Spam is something that has been around ever since the internet was founded, meaning that since it has not gone away yet, it never will. Spam, on our very own forums, can be very funny, or as a joke, meaning it is not needed to be taken serious. However, there is spam that is not funny, and usually gets people mad and then the flames erupt. But hey, if you have some free time, dig into this spam right here:

With that said, here are the nominees for Best/Worst Spam Thread:

--Beans Make You Fly
-Timbox Anything
-All of them
-April Fool's Day
-Dexter's Odyssey

And the winner is..................Beans Make You Fly!

---------------------------------------------------------

Now normally, we'd hand the award out to the maker of said thread. However, the Toon Zone Member Awards Committee were unable to contact the creator of the winning thread in a timely manner. In this event, we shall graciously donate the award to charity. The charity receiving the award is the Society for Retired Water-Skiing Squirrels.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/kids/2004/06/images/twiggy-big.jpg

These noble creatures have brought thrills and joy to our lives for decades. It is only fitting that they receive the honorable treatment they deserve as the approach their golden years. So have a heart folks. Support your veteran squirrels.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Well, I didn't really care about any of the spam threads, but I never even saw this. Was I just in the wrong place or something?

Why do you guys keep secrets from me???!!

[Lord Dalek]

Timbox was robbed!

Oh look free beer...

[J'onn J'onzz]

Well, I didn't really care about any of the spam threads, but I never even saw this. Was I just in the wrong place or something?

Why do you guys keep secrets from me???!!

I saw it. I'm surprised you didn't; it was in the general animation forum AND the Cartoon Network forum. It was called "Beans Make You Fart" for a while, until some mod decided to rename it for some reason. But really, Timbox got robbed.

[One Radical Dude]

I didn't choose that one as the winner, but eh, way to go. :p

[Martianinvader]

Rumors of Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel's retirement are exaggerated. He was in town recently, and as alive as ever. (True.)

[HellCat]

Eh, at this rate I'd rather the results had just been posted in one go.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Eh, at this rate I'd rather the results had just been posted in one go.

I think that'd feel kind of anti-climactic at this point in time. We've been waiting awhile to find out the winners, let's at least make it fun and suspenseful.

[HellCat]

I think that'd feel kind of anti-climactic at this point in time. We've been waiting awhile to find out the winners, let's at least make it fun and suspenseful.

Don't mind me. Just as you say we've been waiting a while as is, so I'm cautious about it taking longer.

[Draft]

Timbox shoulda won

Now look what you did, i lost money cause of you

[Mr. Pedro]

Now to present the award for Best Male Member, Toon Zone's very own purple-haired.......um......purplehairedwonder.

-----------------------------------------------
It takes a truly special member of our community to step up and be recognized as one of the top posters. It takes even more to be recognized as one of the top males considering the vast majority of the board is male. So when the Barenaked Ladies sang, "What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy," they were onto just a few of the credentials it takes to be considered the creme de la creme. You might say the nominees this year separated themselves as men from the boys. Here's to the best of the Y-chromosomed members. The nominees for Best Male Member 2006 are:

Best Male Member
-Lord Dalek
-KuwabaraTheMan
-One Radical Dude
-Mr. Pedro
-Veemonjosh
-Sketch

And the winner is..........................

*Opens Envelope*

KuwabaraTheMan!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------
"This is a pretty big shock for me. I was very pleased to be nominated, and I'm stunned that the voters consider me the Best Male poster. I've only been here 3 years, so I'm very honored to recieve this award, especially when I was up against many very good posters. I honestly didn't see this coming at all.

Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It's a huge honor."

[Juu-kuchi]

Congrats to Kuwabara for his victory.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Congrats to Kuwabara for his victory.

Thanks. Like I said, I didn't see this coming at all. I was honored to even be nominated, so to beat out several members who I really expect is a huge honor to me.

Thanks to everyone on Toon Zone. I feel so...wanted.:anime:

*tears up*

[Kury Wagner]

I so called it. Erm, I mean, congratulations, KtM.

[Ishtar]

Congrats Kuwabara. I'm glad you won Best Male Member, my friend. :)

[The Wolverine]

Had I voted, I would've voted for ORD myself.

But KtM wasn't a bad choice either. We may not always see eye to eye on certain issues, but he's a cool guy.

[Lord Dalek]

Welcome to the club, KTM.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I so called it. Erm, I mean, congratulations, KtM.

Well, yeah, you did. But you aren't exactly a source of unbiased thought on me, babe.;)

But still, you so called it.

Congrats Kuwabara. I'm glad you won Best Male Member, my friend. :)

Thanks. It feels pretty good.

Had I voted, I would've voted for ORD myself.

But KtM wasn't a bad choice either. We may not always see eye to eye on certain issues, but he's a cool guy.

Wow, I didn't think you cared for me. Glad that I'm alright in your book.

Welcome to the club, KTM.

Feels like a good club to be a part of. Surprised I beat out you and Sketch, though.

[Mr. Pedro]

And now to present the award for Best Moderator/Administrator, a two-time TZ Award winner himself, Lord Dalek!
-----------------------------------------------
*Curtain goes up to reveal a rather disheaveled Dalek armed with a bottle of whiskey*

Dalek: Wow, issss this the Osscars or something?

Pedro (offstage, whispering): No!

Dalek: Ooooh, iz it thuh Golden Globes?

Pedro (offstage, whispering): It’s the TZ Member Awards Dummy!

Dalek: Oh okay, whatever yooou say Chaaarlie. I’ve haaad a lit-le too much drink *hiccup* so this may take a laaaaaawng tiiiiiiiiime….. what am I here for agaaain?

Pedro (offstage, whispering): Just say “And the nominees are…”

Dalek: And the nawmeneeees for bessst Mawderater…. wait a minute I’m not a mawderater, what the &%#^ am I doing here?

Pedro (offstage, whispering): Just read the ^$#&ing names you stupid rummy!

Dalek: No neeeed to use Expluhtives Jeff, I gotccha! And the nominees are…

-some guy named Colin
-Karl Olsan? Olseeen? Oh, Olson!
-The Duke (I didn’t knowww we had John Waaayne as a mod)
-William Sees Maune
-and The Martian Invasion of Peru perpetrated by the Martianinvader

And the winner issssss…. *splat*

*Dalek passes out, Pedro runs from backstage and grabs the envelope*

Pedro: andthewinneris..........................................................DUKE!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
o.o Wow. I am shocked. Really. How in the world I managed to beat out Maune (not to mention pretty much everybody in the DC/Marvel Boards) is a mystery to me. I've never even written one of these things before!

So, since the populace believes that I am a great leader, I say we head down to Atlanta and take over not just Cartoon Network, but TimeWarner as a whole and make me the CEO. I promise everyone that when I am named the CEO of TimeWarner, everyone who helped me out will get their own giant robot. I can't promise that said giant robot will actually work, but it will be a giant robot. But that's only if we conquer! Now, let us march and reclaim what is rightfully not ours!

Oh yea, I guess I need to make a political statement, don't I? Umm, I believe we should focus our attention on Canada instead of Iraq because our neighbors to the north beat up Steven Colbeagle the Eagle. That can NOT be tolerated! We must put this nation's full attention on solving this diplomatic crisis here and now!

Finally, I am still shocked that I actually won. I wonder if it's because people thought I was a Democrat...

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Congrats to Duke. He's an awesome poster, and he pulls triple duty in Moderating, so this was a well deserved award(although all the nominees were great, of course).

And that presentation was hilarious. Very funny stuff.

[Lord Dalek]

Dooon't worry bout me folkz, I'll beee O-kay! *falls into band pit*

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Dooon't worry bout me folkz, I'll beee O-kay! *falls into band pit*

Quick everyone, pull out your sharpies and draw pictures on him!

[Kury Wagner]

Congratulations to Duke. Definitely deserve the award, man. And Dalek, that was uber funny. Quick everyone, pull out your sharpies and draw pictures on him!But we didn't sing first. o.O

[KuwabaraTheMan]

But we didn't sing first. o.O

So? As long as he still has his shoes on he's fair game.

That's the way things go.

[Ishtar]

Congrats to Duke for winning Best Mod. I defaintly think he's the best Mod and deserves it.

[J'onn J'onzz]

Congratulations, Kuwabara and Duke.

[Mr. Pedro]

Now appearing to present the award for Best New Member, a much-beloved member who has one this very award in the past, the oh-so voluptuous, the
vivacious, the remarkable, the colorful, Kury Wagner!
-----------------------------------------------------

We call them newbies, n00bs, and some other names that wouldn't clear the forum filter... but if they last, we eventually bother to learn their actual screenname, and maybe even their real names. Whether we love them because they can be so clueless or because they have potential to be a veteran member someday, no matter the reason, there's always passion felt toward newbies. The nominees for Toon Zone's best new member of 2006 are:

Best New Member
-J'onn J'onzz
-SilentBat18
-Dr. Pepper
-HG Revolution
-clucky

And the winner is..............................J'onn J'onzz!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------

Wow, I won. I'm surprised and honored to have gotten the most votes as best newbie, considering some of my competition. SilentBat18, Dr. Pepper, HG Revolution, and clucky are all great posters. Thank you to all that voted for me.

[Duke]

I still have no clue how I beat out Maune (who does a helluva lot more than me), Karl (who's infinitely more literate than I am), Colin (one of the bigwigs), and Martianinvader (who is so much more wittier than I am), but thank you anyway for this award! I can now hang it next to my non-descript bowling award I got when I was 6! Ya see that? TWO awards!

EDIT: And as a prime example...I had no clue J'onn and HG Revolution were new members. o.O

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Congrats to J'onn. He's done a great job at integrating himself as a member of the forum, and has become one of my good friends over the past few months.

Very deserving winner.

EDIT: And as a prime example...I had no clue J'onn and HG Revolution were new members. o.O

I only knew when I was nominating because I was chatting to him and said 'can't think of any good new members from last year', and he said "I'm a new member".

[Ishtar]

Congrats Jo'nn, for winning Best New Member. I'm really not surprised. Compared to all the other newbs from 2006, you are defaintly the best.

[purplehairedwonder]

Congrats, everyone! I voted for Kuwa, Duke, and J'onn, so way to go you guys! Y'all are awesome.

[Mr. Pedro]

Comming up next to present the award for Most Memorable Moment, he's part warrior, part avian, all Samurai Quack!!!
---------------------------------------------

All of you have been waiting for this, so here it is, folks.

The nominees are....

-April Fool's Day
-Who's Hitler?
-Back to the Future Mega Chat Extravaganza
-Landstander & Strawberry Jam Comic Collaboration


And the winner is................................Who's Hitler?!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Now regretfully yet again, we were unable to make contact the party most responsible for this episode, however we have decided to hand off the award to someone just as responsible. However, we must warn the Toon Zone populace that the recipient isn't exactly in the greatest of moods, particularly ever since finding out that there were still people who DIDN'T know who he is:

Poor baby.

*SPITS*

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Heh. I still remember when that post was made.

Still a hilarious moment, one of the funniest of the year.

[purplehairedwonder]

That moment was beyond brilliant. It's listed under my favorite quotes on my Facebook :p

[The Wolverine]

Me when I first saw that post = :eek:

Me now = :D

[Katsumara]

Late to the party, but congrats KtM!

[Martianinvader]

.....I thought these were being revealed one a day. Dangit....

Duke??? Why didn't Karl win?

Wait...I was on that list. Why didn't I win??

[J'onn J'onzz]

Yeah, I registered in March of 2006.

Heh. I still remember when that post was made.

Still a hilarious moment, one of the funniest of the year.

My first TZ chat was on that day.

[HellCat]

Congrats, all.

[Captain Zechs]

Major congrats to KtM, Jon and Duke, pretty sure I voted for all of you ^_^.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Major congrats to KtM, Jon and Duke, pretty sure I voted for all of you ^_^.

I distinctly recall you saying you voted for Pedro and Maune, actually.

[Captain Zechs]

Shhh. Quiet. I have to sound as if I actually voted for you guys haha. (Otherwise my congrats means nothing).

[One Radical Dude]

I didn't think I'd win, but it was great to have my name nominated (which I never really expected). Thanks for those that voted for ORD, and congrats to Kuwabara. Congrats to the rest of you people, also.

[Mr. Pedro]

And now we're back! Here to present the award for Best Thread. He's freakier than Prince and more rambunctious than Husker Du and The Replacements combined, the Twin-City Terror himself, Speedy Boris!!!

----------------------------------------------------------

Ah, best thread. 2006 was a doozy for all kinds of threads: Super long and stringy talkback threads that just seemed to go on forever with one sentence replies, threads with speculations aplenty, threads with news that caused nerdgasms, threads with news that caused people to vomit in disgust, threads that were ignored like the kid with no friends on the playground, crazy joke threads, threads that made you think, threads with full AIM transcripts, threads hard on the lowly 56k, threads that made no sense, threads that didn't end well, threads that didn't begin well but ended fine (those being far more rare), blog-style threads (you know who you are!), the spam threads that are just so much fun to delete (no sarcasm there!), and most importantly, the all-important April Fools out-of-control wackiness threads where seemingly normal users explode in a satire of stupid n00b behavior. Because after all, even the most serious internet forums need to let their hair down once in a while.

I have my favorites, but what WON? Let's find out. The winner is...


........................................OMG! I Just Ordered Pizza ONLINE!!!!!!!

Accepting the award is peacebyanymeans.
------------------------------------------------------
Wow, this is unexpected. I mean, not unexpected by the fact that I didn't think I'd win or didn't deserve it. I mean unexpected as in I didn't even know I was entered into this contest. But, none the less, I am honored that people approve of the sheer truth and righteousness of pizza in all of it's forms and flavors.

For many a year, pizza has been at the forefront of our civilization, all the events that have shaped our world have come from it. War, peace, good and bad. All of it has one thing in common. Pizza.

Was was Homer eating when he wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey? Pizza. What was the food of choice by the Spanish during the Inquisition? Pizza. What was the food being served during the signing of the Declaration of Independence? Pizza. What was the pilot eating on the plane, the Enola Gay, when he dropped the atomic bomb over Hiroshima? Pizza.

The list goes on and on.

And now, we celebrate one of the most important and outstanding moments in human history. Sure, we could order pizza by phone. But the hassle of having to speak to someone always made that method really, really stupid.

And with many thanks to Al Gore, inventor of said internets, which you and me both can communicate right now, pizza achieved the most grandest moment in the history of forever.

Ordering pizza via the internet.

It. Was. Brilliant.

No other achievement in pizza history has come close (except for maybe bagel bites). People already eat pizza all the time. Why not have the ability to just Ctrl+t (or Command-t, if your a bit of a loser) to open up and whole new world tab of pizzology.

And so I leave you with this: Thank pizza. THANK IT! Without pizza we would all probably be monkeys still. Charles Darwin? Pizza lover (it's true, look it up).

And to celebrate such gloriousness I say PIZZA FOR ALL!

(I only got $7.00 on me, so we'll all have to chip in, alright?)

[KuwabaraTheMan]

While it was a funny concept for a thread, I don't think it was really the Best Thread for 2006. But evidently the voters disagreed.

I dislike the voters, though. Who in their right mind would vote me as the Best Male?

[Kury Wagner]

Booo!! That's not what I voted for! Recount!

[The Wolverine]

Timbox was robbed again! BOO! HISS! BOO! :mad:

[Ishtar]

Meh, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series Talkback deserved the award more.

[TheMecca]

Ordered Pizza is actually, looking back on it, sort of a masterpiece.
Except for my Bill Ritter whatever the hell that was.

[Juu-kuchi]

Aw, I wanted the Gundam SEED Destiny thread. That thread's a trooper.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Aw, I wanted the Gundam SEED Destiny thread. That thread's a trooper.

Yeah, same here. But honestly, only about 7 or 8 of us really post in it, and I'd guess only half of us even voted.

So it's odds were low from the start. Getting nominated in itself is good.

[peacebyanymeans]

:(










...

Actually I don't really care.

[Mr. Pedro]

Now, here to present the award for best running joke on the internets. She has two arms to rock you with, two arms to sock you with, two arms making obscene gestures to deplete your self-esteem and two arms filling out the legal brief claiming it was all done in self-defense. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Octopus!!!
-------------------------------------------
The running joke is a longstanding tradition in comedy. A well-known example in animation is opening sequence of The Simpsons, with its changing messages on the chalkboard. The running joke has become a popular tradition of Toon Zone. A member of the forum posts something that amuses other members. The reaction prompts the joke to be spread from thread to thread, and in short time, the situation becomes a running joke on the boards.

The nominees for Best Running Joke/Meme are:
Best Running Joke

- Gwen is not dead
- OVER 9000!!!!!!
- Pop That Corn
- Anything from Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh
- Anything Knux Five/ Chad Lee

And the winner is ..............Anything from Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
And since the award is going to a joke, rather than an entity that puts awards on shelves, the TZ Awards Committee shall also donate this award to charity. This time, the charity we are giving this one too is..............


............. Angry Geeks who Parody Badly-Dubbed Anime Anonymous.


Yes, there is no other organization more needy deserving of the recognition, and the funding to be quite frank. Sure, some folks can do it right, but for the most part, it's just a lot of cursing over movie-making software, posting it on Youtube and hoping for any rating higher than 3. This organization seeks to help those with such lurid habits. How you ask? Through the most painful of methods. Yes, anything goes here. Flogging, shock therapy, the forced removal of toenails, waterboarding, watching Mission to Mars. Anything to get these lost souls to associate their pastime with pain.

So give a hoot, and give to this foundation today! Lest you wish to sit through Blood +: The Abridged Series.

[Kury Wagner]

Ah, my ex-fiancée... the only one that wasn't an actual person. =\

[The Wolverine]

At least something deserving won.

[purplehairedwonder]

Ah, my ex-fiancée... the only one that wasn't an actual person. =\You two were so cute together, too :p

YGO Abridged definitely deserved this award...

In America.

[Lord Dalek]

My happyness level at hearing the news that OVER 9,000! lost...

It's OVER 9,000!

[veemonjosh]

Eh, it makes sense that Pop That Corn didn't win. I mean, all mentions of it on TZ were deleted in the Great Spam Wars.

And nothing I voted for won....:sad:

[KuwabaraTheMan]

And nothing I voted for won....:sad:

*gasps*

And here I thought we were friends, Josh!:sad: We're through.

*storms off pouting*

(just kidding)

I know how you feel. I voted J'onn, but that's been my only winner so far.

Actually, I might have voted for Duke. I'm not sure. Either him or Karl.

[Ishtar]

I'm glad anything from Abridged YGO won best meme. If that didn't win, then OVER9000! would have been my next choice.

[The Wolverine]

I'm glad anything from Abridged YGO won best meme.

Agreed...

Over 9000 was never funny to me (even I could do something like that and I have no talent) and I wasn't in on anything else in that category.

[Mr. Pedro]

For our next award, we don't have a presenter, per se, but I had to think of something to fill up some space for the Best Female Member Award. So without further ado, here's a man that needs no introduction..................................... Mr. Bob Dylan!!!
----------------------------------------------------------
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that--

I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.


And the nominees are:

Best Female Member
-Kury Wagner
-purplehairedwonder
-Sharklady
-The Guitar Slayer
-Toon~g@l

And the winner is..............-purplehairedwonder!!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------

Wow! You should have heard the fangirl squee I let out when I found out I won... Or maybe you did. Sorry, I can get carried away sometimes. *cough* Um yeah, I honestly had no expectation of winning this, especially considering the fabulous company I was in. I felt honored just to be nominated, so this really is amazing. A huge thanks to everyone who voted for me and I tip my cap to the other female posters. *Reaches for hat and finds nothing* o.o;; Seems I'm not wearing one... but, you know what I mean.

Thank you, this is a great honor and I'll try to live up to it.

[One Radical Dude]

I'm buying all the winners pizza. Is that okay? :D

[Mr. Pedro]

Alright, there's two awards left to present, but we're gonna get both out the way.

The Sexy Member award was once again won by JohnCrichton (no tie this time). However, since we're unsure when he'll respond to the notification PM, we'll let him accept the award on his own time.

Which means this leaves us with the very last award. The coveted Best Toon Zone Member of 2006. Enough waiting, let's get to the nominees.

Best Member of 2006
-Kury Wagner
-Hellcat
-Sketch
-Artimus Gigan
-TheMecca

Now the moment of truth has arrived. The winner is.........................










Kury Wagner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------
Gah, thank you all so much!! I was really banking that I wouldn't win any awards this year, since I've been kinda lacking around TZ the last year, but noooo! Best Member!! I'm so honored. Some really cool guys were up for the same award, and I feel kinda bad that none of them won. You guys are awesome, really, this isn't just speech-based hyperbole. I love Toon Zone so much. These forums are my online home... I have so many friends here, so many people I love [you know who you are]. Thank you everyone who nominated me and voted for me, you're fabulous. Mwah!
---------------------------------------------------

And with that, IT'S OVER! Thank you to everyone who voted. Thanks to all of the winners. A big thanks to all of our guest presenters.

Most importantly though, THANK YOU *Points at you* for reading this and bearing with such a long wait. We hope you enjoyed it and we home to see you all next year!

[Ishtar]

I had a feeling you'd win Best Member of 2006, Kury. Congrats, you deserve it.

[The Wolverine]

Congrats, Kury.

You deserve it!

[Zach Logan]

Congratulations Kuwabara, Kury, PHW, everyone else on your awards. I don't really remember to whom I voted for but I'd vote for you three today. Congratulations again.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Congrats, babe.

I just knew you would win, and you really deserve this honor. You're the best TZ has to offer

[Kury Wagner]

Thanks, guys! I'm uber proud and grateful of the title. =]

[HellCat]

Well, I lost. Saw that coming. Though I wish my name wasn't misspelt.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Congratulations to everyone who won! Maybe this'll help me to remember that purpehairedwonder is, indeed, female.

Shame Timbox didn't win anything, though.

So, since the populace believes that I am a great leader, I say we head down to Atlanta and take over not just Cartoon Network, but TimeWarner as a whole and make me the CEO. I promise everyone that when I am named the CEO of TimeWarner, everyone who helped me out will get their own giant robot. I can't promise that said giant robot will actually work, but it will be a giant robot. But that's only if we conquer! Now, let us march and reclaim what is rightfully not ours!

I'm with ya!!!

Yay Kury, I'm happy for you. You deserve this because you are made of win.

You make your sempai proud :)

Alright, there's two awards left to present, but we're gonna get both out the way.

The Sexy Member award was once again won by JohnCrichton (no tie this time). However, since we're unsure when he'll respond to the notification PM, we'll let him accept the award on his own time.



Heh.... btw, thanks guys. Nice to know after three decades of justice... I still got it. It's both flattering and embarassing. :sweat:
