Since the League of Extraordinary Penpals is a growing community, we thought it was time to have our own awards ceremony!
Does
everyone have a seat? Are all members dressed appropriately for the
occasion? Are you all wearing your superhero costume? (Courtney, please
put your pants back on.) Alright, the show can now begin.
Hello
LEPers & LEPeeps! I'm Julie AKA Super Sushi and I'll be your hostess
tonight. All of you are obviously extraordinary so we wish we could
give you all an award, but sadly we only had time to make 25 prizes.
Come on guys, they're handmade paper statues - give us a break! And if
you win, you get to make a speech in the comments below, but in 50 words
or less please. We don't want to spend all night listening to endless
blabber because some of us have a Stationery Anonymous meeting to attend
later on.
