>>>>>>>>>Many thanks to you for starting this thread, and to every one who contributed. It's given me more than one or two chuckles the last couple of days (and believe me, I've really needed them).

>>>>>ROFL... oh thats a scary thought since I believe Barry Lee was singing that to me after I bought him a long island ice tea at the end of his First Annual Spring Conference in LA a few months ago. Nice thought George but I don't think I want to go there.... I'm going to be nervous enough as it is without a serenade since the way it stands now I get to be the presenter for these wonderful awards. (Beware everyone I'm famous for my under 1 minute speeches:))

>ROFL too... you are Too Much Matt! Now this whole award thread started when I said you were the funniest, and I let you convince me otherwise. But since we had to keep the categories down to a certain limit, you lost your lone stand for silliest but I am hereby putting you back in the running for Funniest. heh heh, that will teach you not to sing to me!
>=D) Rox

Rox,

Since Matt's a tenor, maybe he can sing it ten or twenty miles from the site. :-)

As for your nevousness, just picture everyone in their underwear. Uh, wait...On second thought, maybe you'd better not. Nevermind.
