FNORD Celebrations!

TMI was there, on the red carpet, as the various delegates and celebrities arrived at the Royal James Theater. Everyone looked dashing of course with a few fashion faux paux to give the paparazzi something to talk about. The press was out of control, and the fans were no better. Each time someone interesting, or even someone boring would get out of a car, or gold encrusted carriage as was insisted upon by His Majesty Charles August I, a cheer would go up.

Of course, those nominated drew the biggest cheers, but all the rest were well received.

TMI reporter was able to speak with Edgar Portela as he walked down the carpet, with the lovely Princess Portela by his side. When we asked him if he thought he could take away the gold he responded with his usually dry and self deprecating style saying only:

Don't be crazy, have you seen the competition?

TMI also caught up with Will Tomsett on the carpet and asked him what he thought of his chances, to which he responded:

Don't you have something better to do? Go make up facts about someone else!

TMI is only too happy to oblige such a request.

Of course, the FNORD is not only about people, but also about technical achievements as well. TMI was sure that, even without being nominated, it would carry the day, and yet the committee choose to give away the award to some upstart unheard of MCS knockoff called the GSO.

We were able to ask some of the judges how, in the face of all the exciting, informative and technologically advanced initiatives TMI has brought to the community they could simply overlook it and give the award away? This is what they had to say:

Thomas Carroll:

Look, I'm tired of your garbage. You were not nominated, and as far as I'm concerned you're not invited or wanted either.

Emir of Raspur:

FNORD is a prestigious institution that has been recognizing those of outstanding character and achievement for a long time. You wouldn't know anything about it.

The other judges could not be reached for comment.

TMI wishes to congratulate all the recipients of the FNORD, and places everyone on notice to beware because the TMI staff fully expects to sweep all the awards in every category for 2007. In fact, it would just be wise to simply not bother nominating anyone else.
