BEST NEWCOMER - well, they've all come so many times now that this category is null and void! But, we'll keep on looking and maybe we'll find someone ...!!!
And there you have it - the second Quarterly Slutties!!! We'd like to thank those who participated in the Slutties, including our guest presenters, including Ares, Iolaus, Hercules, Strife, Aphrodite, Sovereign, Joxer, Autolycus, Orestes, Iphicles, Jason and many, many more - but unfortunately, our guest presenters never made it onto the stage as they all appear to be busy doing other things behind the curtain which screens the audience from the backstage ... We have no idea what they're all doing back there, but we can tell you that, it's AWFULLY noisy !!!!!
So, that just leaves it up to us to thank those of you who did make it here - and I can see that a lot of you have actually left the auditorium - in fact, I think I saw a few of you sneaking up behind me to ascertain just what was going on behind those curtains ... AND YOU CAN ALL COME OUT FROM BEHIND THERE!! No orgies unless we can join in!!
I don't know - you can't get the presenters ...
You can't get the audiences ...
Now get working towards the next Quarterly Slutties (and no, for you guys behind the curtain - that doesn't mean you have to actually research it *that* thoroughly!!!)
Sigh ....
