| Subject: Official Communique: ChattyMoron Announcement and Press Release Howdy, A couple of years ago, some ChattyMorons were sitting around doing what they do best. Mostly chewing beef jerkey, playing cards, doing shots and chatting. Then we had an idea. We are well aware that most of those "ideas" cause the LD riding community to shudder. Even quake in fear. Yeah, we kind of like that too. Course, there is no accounting for taste. One Moron likes Budweiser. Go figure. Anyhow, we figured it'd be a fantastic idea to award a Rider of the Year and Moron of the Year award. You see, I told you we were mostly bored. But history was made. Now, I have to tell y'all that Rider of the Year was mighty easy this year. In fact, it only took us 'bout 4 bottles of bourbon to come up with that person this year. Not really enough time, I know. But I'd like y'all to slap a few hearty congratulations on a man who has done quite a bit this year. How about back to back BBG's? How about a lazy jaunt across the country from Florida to California and then on home to Washington D.C. in just a little under 100 hours? Then the little critter managed to haul off a 4 day, 10 hour Four Corner's ride. Kind of intimidating isn't it? But wait! There's More! He kind of placed real well in the MD 20/20. In fact, you could say he won. Most folks would have said that was enough. Not him, he went and snapped off another tidy placing in the Buckeye 1K too. Ladies and Gentleman, Put Your Hands Together and give Don A, Admirable of the US Navy and a ChattyMoron (Unusual, I know) congratulations for being the ChattyMoron's Rider of the Year! Now we'll get to the good part. I know y'all are waiting ain't cha? Our Moron of the Year for 2002 follows in the Tradition of Todd Witte (Ask him 'bout the 2000 Midwest Fest and his terrific run. Make sure you ask him 'bout his gas receipt for Kentucky, NOT!) Todd set the standard but you could say we deviated in 2001. Yeah, I know, we're inconsistent every day. But in 2001 we just had to award it to Wisconsin State Senator David Zien. After all, how could you not award such a title to a fella who rides up, argues w/ Warchild over using a helmet and then turns down a straight up trade for his 500K mile Hardley Ableson for any Brand New Hardley Ableson on a dealer's floor. The offer was made just so he could ride the 01 IBR. This year we award the prestigious Moron of the Year award to a very flexible fella. Cause this guy wins by tying himself for Moronic acts. First, he chooses to ride an Yamaha R1 in the ButtLite this year. Not many folks think it's "smart" to ride multiple 1K days with your legs folded up around your ears. But Wait! There's More! Yup, this fella picks up a Bob's Java Hut Mug early in the ButtLite knowing the requirement is to keep it "in tact" until the finish. This Good Ol' Boy manages to do so until near the end. Then he drops it. Dropping that mug cost him 'bout $1100 the way we figure it. You see, it cost him a fully paid entry into the IBR. Now y'all seeing it our way? Well, awrighty then! Once More, Ladies and Gentlemen, Put Your Hands Together and give a loud round of apple sauce to Grady Dunham, the ChattyMorons Moron of the Year! Congratulations Grady, we just can't wait to see what you come up with in 2003! This Official Communique has been brought to you by . . . . . . . Starbucks!
