A Very Special Announcement


WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS:
IRRELIGIOUS, IRREVERENT, AND IRRELEVANT.

THE PEOPLE, PLACES, AND EVENTS CONTAINED IN ST MUCKYMUCK ARE COMPLETELY FICTIONAL.  ANY AND ALL RESEMBLANCES TO REAL PEOPLE, REAL PLACES, AND/OR REAL EVENTS PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.  

IN FACT, ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ANYTHING AT ALL WILL BE REMARKABLY COINCIDENTAL.



"Good day to you, Kilcathclyde!!!" said Will Rirey, appearing on the KBC by way of an interrupted announcement.  "I hope you'll forgive us for interrupting the sixteen-part miniseries Scandals of the Century.  We come to you this noontime to bring you the results of the Scottish Hometown Intercity Talent Show, which you have been waiting for since last year!"  He giggled at his own joke.  "The results of this are the result of you voting for one of the four finalists:  Frank and the Fabulous Four Ferrets!"  A photo of the Fab Four came on of them spelling out H I !  "Billy Burt Flanagan!"  A photo flashed on of Billy Burt holding up the pink knickers from the night before.  "The incredibly talented Nettie the Knitting Kitten and her pal, Fr. Eric!"  A photo flashed on of Nettie playing the drums with her three knitting needles.  "And finally, the bodacious, the charming, the inimitable Big Fannie White!"  A photo of Big Fannie White with her scarf on fire from one of the previous episodes of the show appeared on the screen.

"And the winner is..." there was a timpani roll somewhere behind Will.  "BIG FANNIE WHITE!!!"  The video of her doing her go-go choreography to "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" was shown.  "Congratulations, Fan!  We love you!  We return you to your regularly scheduled program.  As the screen faded, Will's microphone hadn't been turned off yet.  "God, again??  I was sure Nettie was going to get it this time..."
