Once again, we're back with another shoutout to a blog reader.
In the Season 2 Best Printable Line category, Entourage, the blog gave th BPL award for Episode 14 to Pauly Shore for his zinger to Drama, "What are you, a cast member on the ‘Surreal Life?"
Upon further review, at the pointing out of blog reader "The Lightweight Pen-Stealing ----face," our judges have ruled that entry ineligible. Turns our Shore actually cursed in that line, and that's a no-no in the BPL by-laws (minus the opening episode of Season 3 when we thought we could get by with using the -- dash in certain instances; a panel was convened and they ruled against that notion.)
So, we watched Episode 14 from Season 2 and, not surprisingly, Drama takes the BPL.
Drama, Turtle and E are waiting in the SUV outside James Cameron's office as Vince talks with the director. E is considering taking a job offer with Terrence, the agent who had just fired Ari Gold. Drama and Turtle decide that E is going to take the job.
Then, in classic Drama angst, he says, "I could already see his future. He's going to move in with Sloan, drive her daddy's Bentley and join a country club that restricts us."
For the sake of posterity and accuracy, we have updated previous entries in Entourage, the blog to reflect this change.
Thanks again to "The Lightweight Pen-Stealing ----face" for keeping us in check. Although, technically, we shouldn't even repeat that name, but in the name of the Big Knish Award, we'll do it this one time.

Upon deeper investigation into our archives, I was in Tallahassee, Fla., that weekend (Labor Day Weekend 2005) watching the Miami Hurricanes lose to Florida State, and had handed the keys to the ship to a colleague.
Alas, such is life. We all err from time to time. No real harm done.
