lets start this So, 667, the darkies of 2014 have begun. So... um... sorry it had to be such a disappointment. Yeah. Me doing the first speech. Sorry. Please don't go away, I know what a disappointment I am. I eman. look at my spelelin9. its awful. But, don't worry, I know how inadequate I am to present any ward, let alone 'MOST LEMONY'. I am not, after all, a lemon. (Probably why I wasn't nominated.) But there are lemony people. 8 of them in fact. Each of them as deserving to win as those who have won before. Okay, so this isn't going great. But, I'm no good at presenting this award. Look at this speech, it's a mess. So in order to salvage victory from the jaws of total defeat, I decided I would ask each of the nominees why they believe they should win, in an attmept to make this speech somewhat bearable. Here goes. First up I asked Hermes why he should win. This was his exact response: How about saying I ought to win because I have reached a very Snickety age this year? (Sorry, I can't think of anything better than that.) Don't get yourself down, Hermes. Next I asked Dante why he should win. Umm. I can't wait to find out what or else is. Next, I asked Q.R.V.. Q.R.V really doesn't think he or she should win Most Lemony, as I received no reply. Then i asked Sherry Ann. When I heard I had been nominated for the Most Lemony award, at first I was confused. Did I originate from a tree? An ancestral tree, I suppose. Was I acidic? Some may argue. Could I make invisible ink? Yes, it occurred to me, yes I could. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more I realized how suited I was for this award. In the spirit of the Lemon, I served as a cleaning agent (or "Detriment Deleter") for the forum for at least a year. As a Moderator, I paid homage to the Lemon by neutralizing debate and converting words into non-volatile ammonium salts. Of course, there are many other qualified candidates in this category. I am merely honored that the forum should recognize my contributions, and would be jubilant to walk away with the title of 667's Top Lemon. Well, at least my dictionary has just seen some use. Next I asked Antenora. Because I may have graduated Summa Cum Laude and won my college's Undergraduate Award in Linguistics, but who cares about those when an award on 667 Dark Avenue is at stake? I care! Then I asked Terry Craig. Because I can be sour and go well with tea. That's why I'm Most Lemony. Okay. And then I asked the two newest members to be nominated. First moseymoo. I think I deserve to win this year's Most Lemony award because I am vaguely lemon shaped, with a somewhat waxy complexion and skin that sits somewhere on the spectrum of "yellow". I'm vaguely pineapple shaped. I would advise against hugging me. Anyway, I finally asked The Duchess. I don't really think I should win... But perhaps because Dante has won too many times? And also to bring new spirit? Good luck! Yes, good luck to everyone ... I dont really know if that helped the quality of my speech. Ah well. I tried. Anyway, you have your 8 nominees. I may as well say who won. DANTE didn't win. He came second HERMES WON Congratulations

Congratulations, Hermes! It's very well deserved.
I am in awe of the complete originality of all the lemon jokes.

hermes is 13? Or a multiple thereof. Thanks, everybody! This is an immense surprise, and I don't really think I deserve it, but I am very moved to know that my contribution is so much appreciated.

Congarats, Hermes, you do deserve it! Your recent FU13 chapter walkthrough, f.ex., was great.
I also enjoyed reading Sherry Ann's response, out of all the lemon jokes, hers were the best.

I'm not sure how to present an award. Sometimes I get a good idea for a speech, but when I decide to write it down, I can't seem to find the words. It's as if they're missing, well as missing as the nominees for this category. Maybe I should just list them and see what happens. And they are: Charlie, an australian 667er and also the current organizer of The 667er. Says his computer is broken, but I don't buy it. Tragedy, he's our admin, I think (?) Lemona Snicket, a fantastic writer and friendly member, busy with her work in theatre. Bryan, often dead. Both in fiction and as a virtual presence. Emma Squalor, the nicest person you will ever meet. Absent from 667 for personal reasons she was kind enough to explain to us in her brief comeback (even though she didn't have to.) Fancy, the Queen of 667. Left her throne long ago. Bee, who is just "...sassy". Pops by every now and then, but not nearly as often as we'd like her to. moseymoo, new to 667 in comparison to the other nominees. Hopefully making a comeback now that her college project is done. And the winner is... CHARLIE. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

Congratulations Charlie! You are indeed very much missed.
Tragedy, Lemona, Bryan, Fancy, and especially Emma, you are all much missed too. I'm sure Bee and Moseymoo would be missed as well if they were actually absent.

Congratulations Hermes and Kyle Not really congratulations for Charlie, because being absent would be a weird reason for congratulation. But come back please, I mean you got a banner and all. The others can please come back too, even though they won't get a banner.
