Some Mock Awards for Lit Parody

I took very long to get this up, for either or both of 2 possibilities. One being that I still have yet to recover from the head trauma following a most delibitating blow from a certain someone; the other being that my mental jury was out for the last few weeks.

Loki Scylla - Mod, September - October 2007

Anyway, the judges have decided, and...

....

Drumroll, please.

(BRRRDRDRDRDRDR-CHANG!)

Thank you very much.

Now, since the jury has LEE-turned, let us begin with the first prize

MOST CONTROVERSIAL PLAY:
Goes to "King Lee" Lit(RA), for its reference-rich text and colloquial humor, unflinching barbs at society, as well as its high risk of being sued for sedition should the intel go outside, and being sued for use of intellectual property by organizations such as TalkingCock.com or Uncyclopedia.

And next up, we have (points mike at audience)

(no response)

Well, never mind that.

MOST CONSUMMATE MAIN LEAD: Goes to "Deader than Fiction" Lit(RA), for its representation of the most honorable Mr. Seacrest, in the medium of the most theatrical Mr. Thia. Flashy, Stylish, and always willing to get lines from other people. Why, he's the former's mirror image.

Ahsnd nexsht hwhee hahvsh the nesxht awahrd.

MOST VARIATION IN CHARACTERS: Goes to "King Lear" for having 2 Lears, 2 Gloucesters, and a really spastic, but really God-like Edgar.

And that's that. With neck-breaking speed now, let us proceed to...(snap)

MOST NUMBER OF CHARACTERS INJURED IN PROCESS OF PLAY: Goes to "The Gods Must Be Really Crazy" For having injured more than half of its cast (in differing degrees) during rehearsal and having dealt a real knockout punch to its Tybalt cast member.

And now, um, we...well, should like, well, go on to the...yeah, the next award.

MOST MENTALLY CHALLENGING PLAY: Goes to the play with the most number of transvestite characters, for its perplexing vernacular, sinuous action, flummoxing twists, and deviant, subversive plot.

AND NOWWWWWW....



(scroll down)



THE END!!!!!!....

well, not really.

MOST DRAMATIC REVERSAL SCENE: Goes to the high-gravel-blind Juliet, following the "tragic" reversal, complete with a line well taken from the original, coupled with the love of bread and jam.

And that's all folks.

Next year, we shall have smarter humor, fine colloquialisms, and hopefully, more understandable languages and wiser Literature students.

For next year, we shall have Comedy, and no less.
