   1 Seriously? Man…now that really bites. Any way you can bow out of it?

   2 I kind of like the idea of presenting my own award. Anyway, when I emailed them, they were all like, “Umm… we don’t announce the winner till the day of.” and I was like, “Wait! But you asked me to present, dicks!” *sigh*

   3 You could go all schizo. “Well, you must be feeling really honored right now, Dionne. Would you like to say a few words?” (steps to other side of the mic) “Why yes, I am! And I would… I’d like to thank… ” (jump to the other side again) “That’s enough, Dionne, we need to go on with the program.” (back) “No, dammit, I wasn’t done…!” And then totally get into a fight with yourself a la Steve Martin, from All of Me, when he shared a body with Lily Tomlin.

   4 LOL! Annie that’s a good one. he-he This really & truly happened to a friend of mine. She wrote a short story that was entered into a contest & she was asked to present. She ended up winning and there was this huge controversy because a lot of people thought that she’d set it up so she’d win. Like she said, she would have rather been able to do the long walk up the aisle. LOL! That’s really weird though.

   5 I’d do it but wear a disguise, which you can duck behind the podium and whip dramatically off. Everyone will be so impressed they’ll forget to bitch about you presenting and winning. Then you can fly away in your solid gold plane…
