I can't believe that I am going to ask this, but.........do I really have to watch these awards this year??? :upinsmoke

LOL I can assure you that I won't put myself through it. I'll just wait for the clips and pics to arrive at JDR.

So........you'll be waiting for me to weed through it then .

Well, now that you mention it...LOL

(the things that I do in the name of Johnny) :shistle

I hear ya, Holly. It will be torturous, but I'm sure I'll be speeding through it as well on my DVR...YUCK! I'm honestly surprised that awards show wasn't just dropped...absolutely pathetic.

Heck, I was thinkng the same thing. I will wait until they are put on here. :shistle I think that I missed half of that show last year because it was so pathetic. I was asleep or out of the room. What would we do without you Holly? :D

Nicci :captainjack

MK........what say you on this one??????

I got to thinking that we left MK out of this fray. She does alot of these for us also. Sorry about that MK. :D

Nicci :captainjack

I remember this from last year-----blahfest for sure! I would imagine if none associated with Pirates will attend, they'll gloss over any wins AWE receives anyway. I remember it was "torture" sitting through this last year! :(

-Donna

That show was THE WORST! Maybe we can just post the winners?
