Winston Cup Banquet Checklist for The Corrupted...

• Set the VCR. Check.
• Check batteries in remote control for slow-mo replays and "Is Chad in that crowd somewhere?" scanning. Check.
• Get computer up and running for instant message conversations between The Corrupted. Check.
• Keep steady supply of food nearby to avoid missing a moment of the banquet or NASCAR-themed
  commercials we haven't seen since the last race. Check.
• Stow phone nearby for inevitable phone calls from Mum. Will probably include dissertation on dress, demeanor, and speaking
  style. Check.
• Hang on everyone of Jimmie's words and hope he doesn't thank 'a lot of awful people', and that he remembers to THANK
  CHAD THIS YEAR!
• Stock up on alcoholic beverages, in case the coverage is as painful as it was last year, watching James Woods attempt
  to entertain the crowd. Check.
• Devise a drinking game in case such a need arises. Check.
• Prepare exit strategy if they have another trapeze/ballet/whatever-the-freak-it-was entertainment thing as last year.
