Here to present The Sawyer E. Gordon Award for Technical ... um .. Achievement or Not is KITT and Marshay!
<Applause, Applause>
<Only Marshay walks on stage
hushed whispers in the audience>
Marshay: Hello. Im sorry that KITT could not be here tonight to help with the awards presentation
not only could KITT not be here, he categorically refused to participate in the ceremony
well, actually I think his exact words were not categorically refused but that he
refused the category!
However, I was able to travel back through time to get
Fred Flintstone!
Fred: <Walking on stage> Yabba Dabba Doo!
Marshay: Hey Fred! Now
youre more appropriate for the non-tech category, being a stone-age family.
Fred: Thats a modern stone-age family!
Marshay: Right! So how was the ride down the street?
Fred: My two feet hurt!
Marshay: So I guess you wont be burning some rubber on the stage, eh?
Fred: Rubber?
Marshay: <shakes head> Ok, the Mickey for Best Non-Technical Effects goes to:
Tracy Geier Paperdolls on Sticks!

And here to help me present The Sawyer E. Gordon Award for Technical ... um .. Achievement or Not in the Technology is Not Your Friend category is: HAL 9000.
HAL: Good evening, everyone. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you. Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
Im half crazy
Marshay: Um, Im sorry HAL but we dont have time for that
Were here to present the Technology is Not Your Friend award.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Marshay: <long, pregnant pause> HAL, Im not Dave. Hal, do you read me?
HAL: I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure in 72 hours
It can only be attributable to human error.
Marshay: If youre talking about the videos, I agree! The envelope please
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Marshay: HAL, these videos were jeopardized long before I saw them!
Open the pod bay doors .. um, I mean open the envelope, HAL
HAL: The Mickey Award for Technology is Not Your Friend goes to:

<HAL fades away>
