As promised, here is a repost of the 1994 CWRU.GEN awards
for those of you who weren't reading the board in July when I posted
them the first time.
Announcer:
GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND WELCOME TO THE
(slightly belated)
1994 CWRU.GEN AWARDS!!!!
And now, here's your host: Mr. Billy Crystal!
"Hello, and welcome to the cwru.gen awards for the 1993-1994
school year. Yes, they're three months late. We're hoping its
a girl."
"So let's get right to it. Here to present our first award of the
evening, are those three zany characters, the Anamaniacs!"
[Switch to camera on center podium. Dot is coming down the stairs
wearing a pricey evening gown. Suddenly, a saw appears in the floor,
and cuts a neat circle around the podium, which crashes through.
Yakko hops up, and pulls Wakko up after him.]
Wakko & Yakko: Helooo, cwru.gen!
Dot: Boys!
Yakko: The nominees for outstanding one liner in a post are...
(He reaches into a pocket and pulls out, a sandwich, a light bulb,
a pipe wrench, a bison, the Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth II,
and finally an envelope)
DAVE POLEWKA
>>>Now when the BRB 5th floor staff attempt to check their mail, the
>>>following error message is obtained "unable to access pop.cwru.edu.
>>>Cause: virtual circuit changed by remote site."
>>>Contacting USER service has not helped resolve.
>>>Any suggestions how to correct?
>>
>>Sure. Replace yer muffler bearings, dummy!
BRENT KEITH
>please oh please change the topics. anything will do. kirk vs picard,
>why Glaser sucks, "Manimal", the best way to kill an idiot, or why Pat
>Kennedy should be covered with honey and left on top of an anthill in
>the sun. ANYTHING!!!
>
Personally, I think Kirk is much better than Glazer. And it should be
intuitively obvious why "Manimal" should be left in the sun on an anthill
tied up with an idiot.
AMY HAMMETT
>We don't even get free food like the freshmen! :(
>
You better not eat our freshmen!
EVAN WERKEMA
>errr... actually... I think we're known as "labTECHS". The lab monitors in
>Smith Lab are "labBIES." We who have to put up with people trying to run MS
>Word 5.1 on 1mb Mac SE's without hard disks are known as "labTECHS". Faisal
>works at both the Mac labs and Smith... therefore he is both a "labtech"
>*and* a "labbie". I might be wrong about this...
AH, I see. So when you walk into Smith Lab, you greet the person behind
the desk with a cheerful "G'day, labbie!" while at a Mac lab you say,
"Howdy techs!"
BRENT KEITH...
Wakko: Again?
Dot: He knows the moderator, what can I say?
Wakko: (Who suddenly looks just like Mr. Rodgers) Can you say
Nep-o-tism, boys and girls? I knew you could!
Subject: Re: CWRUnet Problem Report: Dates missing from gopher/news gateway
Gopher seeks gopher. Short, fuzzy and fun to be with.
Yakko: And the winner is...Brent Keith!
(Dot and Wakko are walking in a circle, holding up signs that say
things like "UNFAIR" and "NO AWARDS FOR ROOMMATES!")
[Camera shifts back to Billy Crystal]
Billy: You know, I still have know idea what species those guys are.
[The Anamaniacs walk by in front of the podium, waving signs.
Yakko's sign says, "YOUR AD HERE" Dot hands Billy a flyer. Suddenly,
all three do a double take, and dash off, chased by the beefy security
guard.]
Billy: Well, after that, I think there's no better time to present
the award for the absolute weirdest post to cwru.gen this year.
The nominees are:
MOSES FRIDMAN
"OK, Houston, Hubler speaking. We've got the camera lined up, and are going
for the insertion"
"Roger Hubler. Put it in there."
"AAAHHHH!!!!"
"HUBLER! HUBLER! What is it?"
"..."
"HUBLER!"
"I AM AN INTEGRAL GOING TO INFINITY!"
"Hubler?"
"Houston, this is Hill. Hubler is having final exam flashbacks."
"Roger Hill, get him inside, call Prahl out."
"M-M-M-M-Mar-r-r-r-riot! M-M-M-M-M-Mar-r-r-iot! M-M-M-M--" <vooosh>
"Houston! Hubler's taking his pants off!"
And so the silence of space swallows the screams of the mad.
FENG GAO
b***h name who loves sex, even do pigs and dogs and lay with
anyone is diana Kortykowski
the sex machine f**k f**k everything is mark harbobush
Billy: And the winner is...FENG GAO. By the way folks, "f**k"
stands for fsck, a popular UNIX command. Don't go away, we've
got a lot more, right after this.
[Camera pans back to reveal the entire hall. On center stage, a
group of workpersons can be seen nailing plywood over the hole.]
-------
"We're here at Health Services, and we're replacing these fine
doctors. . .with Floger's(tm) crystals! Let's see if the students
notice."
Student #1: Please, can you help my friend! He's bleeding to
death.
Nurse: Give him some of this.
Student #2: Wow... this... stuff... tastes... like... fresh..
(cough)...brewed...(hack)...bat urine. (gack)
Student #1: He's dead!
Nurse: The coroner's office is next door.
-------
Billy: Now please welcome our musical guests, Bob Mehosky
and Kevin Eye
[Switch cameras to center stage, where appropriate lighting and smoke
and lights and whatnot are. Bob steps up to the mike and starts
singing]
I would eat anything for lunch
A Leutnerburger for a snack
I would eat anything for lunch
I'll wrap it up and take it back
But I'll never forget the way my gut feels now
Oh no--no way
I would eat anything for lunch
But I wont eat that
I wont eat that
Anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
But I wont eat that
No I wont eat that
Some days it comes too salty
Some days it comes too sweet
Some days its just way too greasy
And these are the days I hate to eat
Some nights you're crappin' solid
Some nights you're crappin' loose
Some nights it's like nothing I've ever seen before
Or will again
Maybe I'm queasy
But I'm queasy and it's true
No Tums could save me
Nothing now can save me but real food
As long as my stomach's churning
As long as my heart is burning
As long as you're serving me this food
You better belive it!
That I would eat anything for lunch
And I'll stay there til my stomachs packed
I would eat anything for lunch
But I'll come on home and want to yak
But I'll never forgive myself if we dont hit Taco Bell
Tonight
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
But I wont eat that
I wont eat that....
Anything you've been serving up
But I just wont eat that
Somedays I pray for Wendy's
Somedays I pray for a mall
Somedays I just pray to the god of grease and fat and cholesterol
Some nights I lose my dinner
Some nights I lose control
Some nights I just spend an hour kneeling real close to the toilet bowl
Maybe I'm hungy
And some grub is all I need
There's just one and only
One and only place that I can eat
As long as the milk is curdling
As long as the fries are burning
As long as you're serving me this food
You better belive it!
That I would eat anything for lunch
And you know its true and that's a fact
I would eat anything for lunch!
But there's gotta be a midnight snack
But I wait so long for service I just dish it up myself
Alone
Alone
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
But I wont eat that
I wont eat that!
I would eat anything for lunch
Anything you've been dreaming up
But I just wont eat that
But I'll never stop loading up my face
Every night I'm at Case
No way
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
I would eat anything for lunch
But I wont eat that
I wont eat that!
Keven:
Will it fill me up?
Will I keep it down?
Will you get my fork out of this mashed potato mound?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Bob(Puts on a Marriot baseball cap):
We can't do that!
We can't do that!
Case Student:
Will you serve me riblets?
Will you have 'em tonight?
Can you varietize the food? I'm so sick of beans and rice
Can you make the bread a little less old?
Bob:
We can't do that!
We can't do that!
Case Student:
Can you whip up a dinner
With your own two hands?
Can you fill this empty plate with something I can stand?
Can you have a dish you'll let me take home?
Bob:
We can't do that!
We can't do that!
Case Student:
Will you cater to any suggestion that I got?
Will ya wake me up with smelling salts--if the food's served hot?
Will you be here after class when I'm home?
Bob:
We can't do that!
We can't do that!
Case Student:
After a while, you'll forget everything
It was a brief little tune
And a midautumn night's dream
And I know that the food stays the same
Bob:
We like it like that!
We like it like that!
Case Student:
I know the dining hall--I've been around
You'll just ignore us and we'll all sit down
And sooner or later, you'll be laughing aloud
Bob:
We might do that!
We might do that!
Anything for lunch
We might fix anything for lunch
We might fix anything for lunch
But we can't do that
We can't do that
[The audience goes wild, cheering and screaming, and holding cigarette
lighters over their heads. One person (long red hair, blue John
Lennon glasses) actually attempts to light a cigarette with hers, and
is clubbed unconscious by her neighbors]
Billy: And now to present the BUAF/Sig File award, award winning
physicist, Stephen Hawking!
[The camera switches to a small figure in a wheelchair on center stage.
The chair is in front of a small, tacky throw rug, from a corner of which
peeks a piece of plywood.]
Hawking: (Computer synthesized voice coming over loudspeakers)
The nominees for outstanding sig file/Big Ugly Ascii Font are:
STEVE NELSON

[The chair then vanishes, in the sparkling hum of a transporter
beam]
Billy Crystal: Next up is the award for the best in-joke, defined as
a joke which requires some information not in the post to get.
The nominees are
CHRIS HINKLE
>Today on the Bob Henderson Show, it was said that in Cleveland there are 76
>unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women.
>
>Wonder what part of Cleveland he's talking about...........
*laugh* No wonder I can't find a date... :)
ERIK KOVACH
For Sale (cheap!):
Bass guitar and amplifier.
Call Adam at x2149 if interested. Ha ha.
DAN ALT
[The audience goes wild, cheering and screaming, and holding cigarette
lighters over their heads. One person (long red hair, blue John
Lennon glasses) actually attempts to light a cigarette with hers, and
is clubbed unconscious by her neighbors]
Billy: Hows about that. Self-referential humor. And the winner
is...ERIK KOVACH.
Now we have a special feature. At the beginning of the
year, we asked our staff expert to make some predictions for cwru.gen
for the year. We're not sure what he's expert in besides trains,
but here's the predictions, courtesy of Evan Werkema.
1. Someone will mention the word "Marriott" and send the board into utter
chaos for weeks. (hey, it worked last year)
Billy: Well, no luck on that one. I guess nobody wants to defend
Marriot anymore. Either that, or O.J. Simpson's hired
every defender in the country.
2. Keith Ryan will win the David Z. Zinkin Memorial Conspiracy Theory Award.
Billy: This just in..(opening an envelope).. the winner of the
David Z. Zinkin Memorial Conspiracy Theory Award is
...oh, well, it's some guy named Wolfgang. You're 0 for
2, Evan.
3. Robyn's ghost will continue to post upcoming UPB events and complain
about attendance.
Billy: Absolutely right on that one. Who'd have guessed that Robyn
would be reincarnated as someone named Mike Barreca? You
know, Barreca would be a good name for a Wookie, like
Chewbakka.
4. Someone will start an anti-gun thread, whereupon Corinne Kelly will
emerge as an outspoken NRA member.
Billy: Sorry, she's unconscious right now.
5. Renowned psychiatrist Dr. I. B. Adork will begin posting in place of Dr.
Phil Me-in, now under Dr. Adork's care after suffering a nervous
breakdown while trying to treat "Decay."
Billy: Not even close.
6. I'll get flamed for this post. (had to throw in one sure-thing)
Billy: Does this count?
7. The Aardvark Liberation Front will kidnap "The Start," much to everyone's
relief.
Billy: We should be so lucky.
8. Suddenly, one day, when he least expects it, Bruce Ikenaga's CWRUnet
account will stop working. >-]
Billy: Ironic, huh? This one's right, but not for the reason you
thought. A moment of silence please, for the loss of one
of cwru.gen's favorite professors, Bruce Ikenaga.
9. The end-of-the-year CWRUgen awards poll will reveal that 5.6 people read
CWRUgen.
Billy: No poll was taken, so your answer is off by 5.6, which is
within the infinite margin of error.
10. The power vacuum left be the dissolution of the Mikey-Tommy duo (Mike
graduated, and Tom isn't back yet) will be readily filled with bright
new talent just dying to carry the torch...I mean flame.
Billy: True enough, which brings us to the Michael Sidman memorial
FLAMER OF THE YEAR award.
The nominees are...
WILLIAM GANN
TIM "CHUCK" REINHART
JASON LYONS
JUSTIN LOWE
And the winner of Flamer of the Year is...Chris Hinkle. No,
just kidding Chris. The winner is...CHUCK REINHART
sure sure that's ok. as long as it's a white child. gotta repress
the supressors of the oppressed or they might repress more oppressed people
including the suppressors of the repressors who oppressed the now defunct
suppressed, who are actually the repressors of the suppressors but not he
currently oppressed or oppressors because we all know that if we don't
fight for the oppressed through repression of the suppressors we'll never
have an equal society. After all we're all different and we shoudl be
treated as such... until someone ina diffrente group than me gets treated
differently.. then i want to be treated the same way.. but diffrently.
[Camera switches to stage right, where David Letterman is sitting
behind a desk.]
Letterman: [sarcastic] Yes here we are in beautiful Cleveland.
What to you think of Cleveland Paul?
Paul Shaeffer: I think it's fabulous, Dave.
Letterman: I see. How much time do we have? Do we have time
to do the top ten lists?
[voice over]:Only three of them
Letterman: Our producer, ladies and gentleman. Here we go, the

DAMIEN NEIL
Top ten things to do with a 3-week old Marriott cheeseburger:
10)Use the wrapper as scratch paper.
9) Hockey puck.
8) Save it as the first example of man-made life.
7) Smuggle drugs with it -- there's no way anyone is taking a close look at it.
6) Fead it to your suitemate's hamster. (Revenge!)
5) Exhibit A in the Marriott vs. Students lawsuit over food poisoning.
4) Stick it in with your summer clothes instead of mothballs.
3) Wait for mushrooms to sprout and harvest them.
2) Ward off vampires. (Hell, if a little *garlic* keeps 'em away...)
1) Put it back in the rack at Fribley.
Dave: Well, I'm out of time. Back to you Billy.
Billy:Thanks, Dave. That new hairpiece looks great. Next up, we
would like to honor a cwru.gen legend who left us this year. Dan
Brown's wit, humor, and charm were a pleasure to read. It would
be impossible to summarize everything he did for the board, but
I think his essence is truly summed up in this, one of his finest
posts:
CWRUnet Problem Report

Billy: It just brings a tear to my eyes. We'll miss you, Dan. We'll
be back after this.

News announcer: This is newsbreak. Our remote reporter,
John Gallagher, was sent out in January to cover the 19th
annual CWRU Science Fiction Marathon for this station. He
has just located the tape, which he claims fell down behind the
seat of his car. We'll show the tape, John, but you're not
getting your job back.
Gallagher: For the second year, we are live and
on the net at the scifi marathon.
As a public (dis)service to cwru.gen, we will provide blue ribbon panel
reviews of each movie as they run. Remember, these reviews were written
by real BOARD CERTIFIED Psychics....
The Abyss
---------
John says : "Weird water beings who watch alot of TV, an insane
Navy Seal with a tactical nuke, gratuitous breasts ('It only
works on BARE skin') -- if it weren't for the high budget, this
movie could have been a real classic.....
Kai sez:
"We're going to have to take steps... we're going to have
to take steps."
Dan Says : "The aliens come from a place with cold, intense
pressure : case...."
Newscaster: Well, there's a lot more just like that, but we've decided
we've got better things to do with our lives. And now back to our
program.

Billy: And now to present the next award, please welcome Tori Spelling!
[Tori walks down to the podium, which appears to be propped up over
the rug by a phone book.]
Tori: I'm not sure why they asked me to present this award, but the
nominees for best attempt to brownnose to the award moderator are:
BRUCE IKENAGA
>Can someone take pity on this poor soul and generate some 72 dpi PK fonts
>of various magnifications? (I want to be able to _read_ my DVI file before

I want to nominate this guy for an award of some kind.
In the years I have been reading this board, I have NEVER
seen anyone post a message about TeX before. Never. :-)

I hereby nominate these two sentences for the cwru.gen Non-sequitor of
the Week Award. They sure threw me for a loop.
and the winner is STEPHEN TRIER. You know this program would
be a lot better if my dad WHAARRGHHHhhhh....!!!
[The podium, rug, and starlet crash through the plywood, leaving
an even messier hole in the floor.]
[Billy Crystal is speechless, staring at the center of the stage.
Suddenly, he notices the camera is back on him.]
Billy: Um, well, right. And now it's time for our two
final awards. The first award is the "Rebel without a Clue"
award, for the longest thread with the least point. This
years winner is...
HITCHCOCK DORMITORY, and everyone else who posted to the winter
carnival thread. Here's a sample:
I would just like to make a few comments about the end of winter carnival.
Yes Hitchcock's team weighed in at 1318 while Cutler's team
weighed in under 1300. Since the rules were explained diferently
to Hitchcock then Cutler, no it wasn't completely fair. Neither
was it Hitchcock being a poor sport. They had set up a team
according to the rules that had been explained to them. I have
been playing sports all my life, ...
[Camera cuts back to Billy, who is asleep over the podium. There
is a pause, and a guy with a clipboard wearing a large headset
comes out and pokes him. He jerks his head up, and then fumbles
with his cue cards]
And now for our final award, the coveted TOMMY DAVIDSON flamebait
award. There is clearly no question as to the winner of this award.
For their consistent meaningless posts, their pitiful attempts
at flameage, and most of all, for the enigma which rivals
"Rosebud" in it's mystery, the "Volcano Sheek." The winners are
the members of DMA industries, Justin Lowe, and Jason "Grimace" Lyons.

Listen here Chuck, go back under the rock you crawled out from. This is for
the general public. If the moderator of this group would like my posts
deleted, he would delete them. But they are still here, so i will make my
comments whenever i feel it necessary. Freedom of Speech has to be the best
thing written in the Constitution.
Until you know what the hell I am talking about, keep your nose outta my
business.

Perhaps there is a God after all. But he's cruel and sadistic.
Now we're gonna have to put up with an incredible amount of bullshit. It
really makes me sick. He's going to be put up on a pedestal along with
James Dean (who only made THREE FREAKING MOVIES) and worshiped by
generations to come. I don't know about you all, but he wasn't the voice
of _my_ generation. Sure, he played some good songs, I'm not denying that,
but since when did we start giving a damn about what an artist has to say
about the important issues of the day? Just shut up and do your movies
or your albums or whatever. You are not qualified to shoot your fool mouth
off about Third World starvation, abortion, the environment, or anything
else, for that matter. And on the same note, what the hell was that thing
stuck in the Observer today? I'm for the free exchange of ideas or what-
ever, but that wasn't even close today. If it was sponsored by CWRU
Students for Life, (which is a legitimate organization, don't get me wrong)
then they probably got the Observer's student rate, then used USG funding
to help pay for it. Ya wanna know what that means? Your activity fee
helped to pay for a 12-page, pro-crack baby, anti-death bunch of
Neanderthal conservatism rhetoric that most everyone I know glanced at the
cover and tossed aside. Sounds like a waste of money to me. They should
have at least given the pro-butchery, dead-baby, murdering bastard side to
have an opportunity to respond and debate. Or maybe that will be the
insert next week. That way, two student groups will have used our money
to spout off. I sure do love embezzlement thinly disguised as public forum.
Billy: That's all the time we have for tonight, and before we go, I'll
leave you with this thought from Jeremy "Tofu" Chan:
Doing spirited shit is fun.
Living is fun.
Fun is fun!
Fun! Fun! Fun!
Yeah!
Billy: Be sure to tune in next year folks, and remember to have
Bob Barker spayed or neutered!
