Of course, it sounds like the on-screen awards will focus on celebrities both real (Dennis Hopper), artifical (Laura Croft, perhaps), and in-between (Jenna Jameson)... so you can quit trying to hold in your gut, programmers!"

    so you can quit trying to hold in your gut, programmers!

    why is this such a stereotype with programmers?
    it's just because of this i've been trying to _get_ a gut for years, beer, cheetos the works - but nothing doing yet

    and to top it all off, i have to have /. in the morning reminding me how much of a lesser coder i am with comments like these!
