How is Fuck Off a formal award. 

It isn't a formal award. It's a proper noun, the name of a specific award.

To continue to use the example you cited above, you capitalize the names of specific awards, as opposed to general.

So Staggerwing presented me his Fuck You ( <- N.B. Capitalized) award.

Or we could simply say he presented me an award for obnoxiousness.

It isn't the formality, or reality, of the award. It's the fact that his imaginary award has a name, Fuck Off, and as such is capitalized.

Do you still need this mic?

Err... ummm... the award was from UCG....

This is all a distraction from MD having called Firefly/Serenity crappy, and then asking how he could be against a show he has never seen.

To which he will no doubt say that it must be a crappy show because Fox canceled it after broadcasting it in a random order (leaving out two eps and only saving the two introductory eps for the final two) on a completely insane schedule over one season.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

But MD will appreciate this video anyway.  :coolsmiley:

Jason, if there was a way to gild you [not geld... GILD] for bring that video to my attention I would.

Bayo-goose, looking for a way to monetize Grogheadz? Allow for the purchase of virtual awards that forumites can bestow on fellow forumites.

My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Oh. I guess we don't capitalize it then.

Not all those who wander are lost;

Thank God that's over.
