Lausanne, Switzerland, April 1, 2005 -- Dietrich Wienerschnitzel,
spokesman for the FIS (Fiction In Skiing), announced today the grand
prize for the 2004-2005 FIBS (Fabricated Internet Bull Stories) award
has been awarded to the Michigan Cup/NordicSkiRacer.com website.
Wienerschnitzel said in a prepared statement that the award will be
presented to the recipients at the NordicSkiRacer Team house in

Gentleman, What the Hell's his name. The entourage will be flown to the
Camp Grayling air base by the Ohio Nordic Team jet. The awards ceremony
will be a black lycra affair. The festivities will commence with a
cocktail hour featuring the two favorite MI Cup gliders -- Blue (LaBatt's)
and Red (Bass Ale). Both have been known to glide down really well after
a race. A candlelight dinner will follow featuring: B-B-Q'd chicken, hot
dogs and beans, chili and veggie sticks.
Governor Granholm will present the FIS awards t NordicSkiRacer.com for
their article, "Team NordicSkiRacer" Announces Team House Plans;" "Ohio
Nordic Accepts Advertising on Team Jet," by Tom Cook; and "EMAG Buys Telemark
Resort," by Jamie Mannion of EMAG (Early Morning Anaerobic Group);

"Ski Race Over Mackinaw Bridge" article,
2) FIBS (Fantasies in Bitch Slaps) to Aaron Tarnow for his "Mike Muha
Saved Me From a Mountain Lion" article.
Guest speakers at the awards presentation will be Dick Poundoff,
president of WADA (Weirdos Against Destroying Animals). Poundoff will
spew forth on the vicious black squirrel population at Boyne Highlands.
Dr. Daniel N. Rogers of the DNR (Doing Northing Right) will give an
overview of the non-existent mountain lion population in the lower and
yooper peninsulas.
Each recipient will receive a gold, engraved watch, which glows 24/7.
The reason for this is that encased in each watch's crystal is an urine
sample from the Lahti Six and SoHo Trio.
