abouttime writes "What happens when your webmasters and the show scheduling people don't communicate? This page on the mtv site is where the winners of the awards are known before the show even airs tonight... Way to go MTV....." I wonder if it will be pulled by the time the story goes up....oh and in case you can't figure it out, spoiler alert...

    Don't Drink and Code. Otherwise you pull an MTV.

    While we're microanalyzing words, shouldn't it be "lone gunMEN" instead of "lone gunMAN"? The actual series title always juxtaposed a "singular" adjective with a "plural" noun as some sort of ironic statement, didn't it?

    I just can't bring myself to do that. It flies in the face of all my coding cells.

    Just like in Airheads, where the name of the band Adam Sandler was in was called the Lone Rangers.
