Well! I was quite surprised to win this, probably because I'm so serious all of the time! People are always telling me to crack a smile and when someone tells a joke I release nothing but a dignified chuckle.
I showed up to the awards with my volleyball shorts on (had a hole in 'em) and a Minnie Mouse tank top. It was actually my Minnie Mouse t-shirt but I took style advice from fashion guru David "The Delinquent" Vegemite and cut the sleeves off to make it a tank! I wore these same clothes yesterday, I know. But I wasn't expecting to win an award, so impressions didn't matter much to me!
First I was up for the most underrated player award. Vessa got 3rd. I wasn't expecting to hear my name at all but I popped up at 2nd! Wutuf! If anything I'd say I'm overrated, but alright... Ok. Realitynerd got first and good on ya pal, I'm not sure if this was voted on gameplay or personality but I'm guessing personality since realitynerd has 1 win and boygenius2010 who got 4th has 10 wins in a row! But obviously realitynerd did SOMETHING right to get so many votes so good on ya pal! All the lads down at the Mike Graham Recreational Unit were rooting for ya, I'll tell you that for free!
So next the funniest Tengager award pops up. I didn't even want to listen. I can't bare these funny people who make rude jokes and silly phrases. The third was a tie between pablito and Emmaleigh. Second? Well, second was TheGreatXL. I was just walking out of the vicinity when I heart "First... BengalBoy!"
I froze. The spotlight hit me. I went redder than kykysimon92 when he was confronted by 3 pairs of male feet on Stickam. Was I being stitched up? Was I on Ant and Dec's Saturday night takeaway? Everyone was looking and clapping at me so I had to go up and give a speech.
I was lost for words at the time- haha! So sorry for my vague and uninteresting speech. I hope you understand. Also, a memo for the ladies, you may have noticed a very small bulge in my volleyball shorts. Well I assure you, it was only the nerves! Only the nerves! Nothing to worry about there!
So all in all a good time was had by everyone, and I'm happy to win an award and be a runner-up in another. I've got to say one thing though, Alex1991, you are a vandal. Lexxu has worked so hard to make polls and advertise and close those polls and you have to go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "rigged". You are a mindless miscreant. Luckily Lexxu retained a level of professionalism. Well he ran out in a huff but still.
Well done to all the award winners and runners-up, and thankyou so much to all the voters!
I'm pretty confused here....where can I see the awards? Also, that entire thing about you walking out of the vacinity and stuff, that was all a joke right? Like there wasn't a REAL ceremony somewhere. lol dumb question I think, someone explain.

A zorse
A zorse or zebroid, specifically the offspring of a zebra stallion and a horse mare. The rarer reverse pairing is sometimes called a horbra (or hebra). Like most other hybrids, the zorse is sterile.[1]
The zorse is a strong animal with traces from both its parents.
James Cossar Ewart crossed a zebra stallion with horse and pony mares in order to investigate the theory of telegony, or paternal impression. Cossar Ewart used Arabian mares. Similar experiments were carried out by the US Government and reported in "Genetics in Relation to Agriculture" by E.B. Babcock and R.E. Clausen, and in "The Science of Life" by H.G. Wells, J. Huxley and G.P. Wells (c.1929).
Zorses are bred in Africa and used for trekking on Mount Kenya.[2]

Zorses combine the zebra striping overlaid on colored areas of the hybrid's coat. Zorses are most often bred using solid color horses. If the horse parent is piebald (black and white) or skewbald (other color and white) (these are known in the USA as paint/pinto) the zorse may inherit the dominant de-pigmentation genes for white patches, it is understood that Tobiano (the most common white modifier found in the horse) directly interacts with the Zorse coat to give the white markings. Only the non-depigmented areas will have Zebra striping, resulting in a zorse with white patches and striped patches. This effect is seen in the zebroid Eclyse (a hebra rather than a zorse) born in Stukenbrock, Germany in 2007 to a zebra mare called Eclipse and a stallion called Ulysses.
[edit] Zorses and humans
Zorses are preferred over zebras for riding and draught for several reasons, although they are still not as easily handled as horses and should not be ridden or purchased by novices. Their more horselike shape, particularly in the shoulder region, makes it easier to obtain harness that fits correctly.
Zebras, being wild animals, and not domesticated like horses and donkeys, pass on their wild animal traits to their offspring. Zebras, while not usually very large, are extremely strong and aggressive. Similarly, zorses have a strong temperament and can be aggressive.
[edit] Notable zorses
A zorse (more accurately a zony) was born at Eden Ostrich World, Cumbria, England in 2001 after a zebra was left in a field with a Shetland pony. It was referred to as a Zetland. This was the inspiration for the 2003 'Song For the Zorse' by London band The Coronets. According to local lore brown zorses have been spotted in the foot hills of the Appalachians in and around Charlottesville, Virginia.
Zorses have appeared in several TV shows and movies. In the Viva La Bam episode Groundhogs Day in the final race, Brandon Dicamillo's sled is a Zorse. It was colored pink, blue, purple and red and on the 'uncommentary' on the DVD seasons of 'Viva La Bam' Tim Glomb says "If you send me a list of all the episodes where the Zorse is I'll give you a dollar". Also, the 2007 movie I'm Reed Fish features a zorse named Zabrina. In the movie Racing Stripes, an animated zorse appears in the alternate ending. It is the son of Stripes (a zebra) and Sandy, a white filly.
Zorses have also appeared in books. They are briefly mentioned several times in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels. Sutton Coleman wrote a sonnet about Zorses and published it in his 2007 book, "Ligers, Tigons, and Zorses, Oh My!"
