Yes.

[Serious Announcer] Looks like you missed out on that one boys... I wonder if there are Any Other Awards out there you can audition for...

Thanks for your Award!

The Fooles Love it - Anarchy is their main business.

[Babbel] No it isn't!
[Battel] Be Quiet! If Robin says it is, then it IS!
[Bottel] Bet they will never find the Kitchen Sink on OUR site!
[Quibbel] Yes, But it IS there...

Hey what have you guys been doing now...

Um Well, Any way, Thanks for the Award - it will go on the Awards page, even with the ones who wouldn't give us their Awards...

Robin,

Thy site doth bring a smile to the demeanor of this fair Duchess, 
and a deep belly-laugh which is said to be most unseemly.  With 
quiver of heart and heaving of bosom, I do bequeath this award.  
Display it with pride, as it is most deserved.  Thy most fair site 
will adorn the realm of mine Keyhole vault within a week.  If thou 
wisheth, thou might add a golden link to my site:

I travel the net looking for "World Class" sites, and you've been chosen! I 
look for sites that are fresh and interesting, made by html artists with their 
own ideas, not copied :)

    Thank-you for adding your own ideas to the internet!

Chet: I was just there, last night.
Jeffrey:  Where?
Chet:  At the Troupe of Fooles.
Jeffrey:  Why?
Chet:  Just happened.
Jeffrey:  What?
Chet:  Very Fooleish in a Troupish sort of way.
Jeffrey:  Hay?
Chet:  No.  Deep stuff.  Not your everyday kind of Fooleish but that which
goes back in time, when the Fooleish were Wise.
Jeffrey:  What happened?
Chet:  Politics, I think, democracy in particular.  The Fooles spoke to
voters, and suddenly they became Wise, and once they became Wise, they
became very Fooleish.
Jeffrey:  Kind of heavy.
Chet:  Not if they took the Too Cool.

Jeffrey:  Isn't that an old one?  Why don't they take something newer, like
the Generic Award.

Chet:  Well, if the Troupe really goes back in time, what does time have to
do with it.  Why not give them a Holy Grail 

for rediscovering Olden Paths.
Jeffrey:  Naw, the straw makes it too modern.
Chet:  I didn't think about that.
Jeffrey:  The Three Stooges 

makes more sense, kinda a modern Troupe of Fooles.
Chet:  But they don't want to be modern.
Jeffrey:  Then why don't they take what they want?
Chet:  They're not sure.
Jeffrey:  Well, if they don't know what their site is, how are we supposed
to know?
Chet:  Let's send them a bunch of them.

Jeffrey:  Yeah, that'll fix them.
Chet:  Yeah!!!!

Hi Robin,

Well, you've went & done it.  Or I went & done it.  
Nevertheless, attached is one All-Time Favorite Award, 
an animated gif personalized to the Troupe.

Yes, it's larger than other awards; that's because it's special. :)

Anyway, your site is a merry oasis of fooleish on the web.  Thank you!

Note: only 15 of these were ever given.
Award Site comments are: The Troupe swings in olden style and shows low humor as high art.
