A Side Dish of Ciddies Speeches

This is the thread for Ciddies speeches. If you want to do a speech for an award, sign up in this thread or pm me. When you are finished with the speech, please pm it to me so that I have it on record for the revelation of the award. The speeches are typically pretty fun and make up some of the highlights of this event, so I hope we at least get a few people to do them. If an award doesn't have a speech I may just make up something lame, or not post one at all, and that's no fun! See some of the past revelation threads in the Archived Awards for examples of good speeches. Or even link to some of your favorites in this thread for inspiration.

I've got one written for best writer, but I'm having trouble performing it so far. It is a rather...ambitious undertaking.

That's it for speeches? :(

cowards

also, lazies

It's probably b/c DM is in like 50% of the categories which means there's not really any reason for anyone to do a speech for those.
12-19-2011, 01:57 AM
fire_of_avalon

Some people will probably pick up at the beginning of the week when they're bored at work. I'm going to write my three tomorrow night. Or tonight. I'm either wrapping presents or writing speeches.
12-19-2011, 02:01 AM
Hollycat

I can no longer do the speeches due to getting a job
12-20-2011, 02:33 AM

Bubba

I'll take most intimidating member (number 28)

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing but I'll give it a go!
12-21-2011, 04:38 PM

Bubba, you do a speech for a category in which you're nominated. You're not intimidating at all bro.

Ahh... I didn't think it mattered whether you'd been nominated in it or not. I've just bashed out a huge one whilst I've been at work (that sounded wrong). I'll send it over to Award Qu anyway just in case no-one does a speech for it.

Are you trying to say that tonberries aren't intimidating? True, I may look like Yoda's deformed, homosexual cousin but my chef's knife can still do some damage... and you'd probably get a nasty burn from my lantern as well...

Work has been keeping me quite busy, and other excuses you don't want to hear.

The point is I'll try to make "best blogger" happen, but I'm pretty lame. I've never written one of these so if someone wants to participate and help write it, just lemme know.
12-21-2011, 05:59 PM

Cute? Fluffy? Squeezable? Lovable? Yes yes yes yes

Intimidating? Never.

No you don't. You can write a speech for any category you like as long as it isn't taken. Stop spreading lies, chi.

Just go with it!

I would volunteer for one of these, but I pretty much have no idea who half of you are anymore (which is why I haven't voted yet either). It might make things more interesting for me to do them, but I'm pretty sure I have no interesting ideas right now to compensate for my lack of familiarity with the subjects either.

d'oh! Common sense got the better of me. In all actuality I had no idea one way or the other, I just wanted to set up the joke about bubba being squishy and lovable and not at all scary.

Jiro

You used to have to write speeches for ones you weren't nominated for. Back when about 20 unique speech writers were around. Get the speeches done is the most important thing now.
12-22-2011, 03:44 AM
chionos

If I had known all this I would have written 50 speeches.

Edit: Also, am I the only schmuck who actually recorded a speech? I looked through the archives and couldn't find very many of the speeches, and none of them were actually recorded. They're supposed to be speeches, not essays! I feel I've made a terrible fool of myself.
12-22-2011, 04:32 AM
fire_of_avalon

chi, you are amazing. I love it.

I wrote thirteen of these bitches.

Most Delicious and MLT Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight are done. I'll take Sexiest Female.
12-24-2011, 12:01 AM
Queen Award, First of Her Name

Only three speeches left to do! Best Oldbie, Best RM/FS, and Best Artist. If it's at all possible for someone to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
12-24-2011, 12:08 AM
Raistlin

I'll do Best Oldbie.
12-24-2011, 12:09 AM

Oh sure, why not. I'll do Best Artist.

EDIT: And done.
12-24-2011, 01:51 AM

... and there isn't a finer member equipped to submit the final speech. I pledge to commit more speeches next time round!
12-24-2011, 03:01 AM
Jiro

12-24-2011, 03:23 AM

I have a good seven half-written speeches. It is like I almost did work, but then brownies came and did all of it. Thank you, daoine sídhe.

One of Lynx's speeches is pretty slick. I can't wait until you guys see it.

My best speech has already come and gone. How disappointing :(
