[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Menelien walked onto the stage, running her hand through her hair and smoothing her dress, breathing heavily. She walked towards the microphone, forcing her panting mouth into a shape remotely resembling a smile. “I... I have the honor... of... of presenting to you... another award,” she forced out, scolding herself inwardly I should have gotten ready for this beforehand! This won’t do at all! Menelien composed herself, forcing the next words to come out evenly, without (too much of) a pause between them. “You all know, we all know, that there are many wonderful people out here on the Barrow Downs. Many of them spend their time starting fads. But there are few fads that spread all over the Downs until almost every single fan knows them. The award I am here to present is to the inventors of one of these.” Menelien uncrumpled a piece of paper in her hand, and read: “The Award for best blend of Disco, Bandwidth, and the hunka-hunka Boromir in Middle-earth Mayhem - Make your Own Crazy Scene With Pics section goes to Airehiriel, Rynoah, and Oddwen!” The roar of the cloud at that was deafening. Menelien suspected that the skin on their hands would not feel good when they went back home. “The Best Disco in Town” boomed from the loudspeakers as the trio walked up. She handed them their Denethor Bobblehead statuettes, supressed a giggle at their faces, a bit surprised at the rather strange trophies, and walked off stage.
It’s the best disco in town, number one in disco sound
It’s the place where hip people meet, hey, hey
It’s the best disco in town, bump and boogie all around
It’s no place to sit in your seat, hey, hey

DJ’s are the best there, you’ll never get a rest there
You may meet the right girl or guy
When they play the right groove your body makes the next move
Get up on the floor and get down to see that the music can take you high

It’s the best disco in town, funky music pound for pound
Join the crowd, come on dance and sing, hey, hey
It’s the best disco in town, people come from miles around
It’s the place to do your own thing, hey, hey...
Menelien listened attentively from backstage as the three girls read off their acceptance speeches. First Airehiriel, then Rynoah, then Oddwen...

Airihiriel’s Post
Airehiriel heard her name being called and she stood up in shock and surprise. She walked down an aisle way with a broad smile on her face. Unfortunately she failed to notice a stray leg sticking out in the aisle way. She tripped over it, and with embarassement picked herself up and patted the leg.
"Sorry!" She said to the owner of the leg.

She continued on the long trek through the hall and walked up the stairs. She hoped the Orc who was hit with her shoe wasn't looking right now. She smiled at Menelien and lovingly took her award.
"I can't believe it!" She said staring at the assembled group. "Thank you so much!"
She smiled as those who were awake finished clapping for her.
"I was inspiried to make Crazy Scenes with Pics on the Crazy Captions thread. I really made it for my own amusement. I had no idea it would turn out to be such a hit!
"I would like to thank all my partners in crime...uh, I mean, laughter. Unfortunately there are so many! I would like to mention a few though. Thank you Rynoah, for starting the whole Disco King craze! Who can forget the contest and all the insanity that ensued. I would also like to thank Oddwen, not only does she post a bunch of great stuff, but she is the orginator of the now famous, or infamous, DO THE WAVE!"
Airehiriel proceed to lead the group in a few waves for the Disco King.
"I'd also like to thank the Barrow Wight for putting up with my inability to read some things all the way through! Sorry!" She said with a sheepish smile.
"Thank you to all who have participated in this thread. There are several of you, and you know who you are. I just wish I had time to name you all! I love all that you do, and all the encouraging laughs that we get from some who don't post scenes, but do enjoy their visit. Stop by some time if you haven't been there. It's in Middle Earth Mayhem. My favorite haunt.
"Once again, I'd just like to thank you all!"

(Back to Menelien’s Perspective)
Next, Rynoah began to speak: "I'd like to thank the Academy, John Travolta for jumping in my head, Ninecompanions.net for the pictures and Oddwen for picking up the whole disco trend. This award is dedicated to Boromir; without you and your exceptional groove, none of this would be possible! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
... and DO THE WAVE for Boromir the Disco King! For Gondor, James!”
Menelien who was beginning to get a bit bored, snorted the beer she had been drinking backstage from her nose in a most un-ladylike manner at the last line, then composed herself when she realized she was beginning to get evil looks from everyone around her. And last, Oddwen: -"I'd like to thank my Dad for giving me his wacked out sense of humor; my Mom for letting me stay online for hours at a time; my siblings Tweak and Pookie for their encouragement; Rynoah the Overly Happy for her inspiration; Airehiriel for starting the thread, and all the Downers who posted on the thread. And especial thanks to the great, mighty, wonderous Barrow-Wight for creating this site.”
Menelien thought she saw the green cloudy figure in the top box move slightly, looking down. She walked out from backstage by the back exit and made her way towards her seat, sucessfully avoiding Eladoriel, and started in on one of her best imitations of sleep.
