Hmmm.. is there really a Benedict Arnold Award? tee hee.. shouldn't that be an anti-award? Glad you're enjoying them! The Benedict Arnold Award is actually a joke from Get Smart. In one episode, Sigfried pretended to join CONTROL just so that he could get into the award ceremony for all CONTROL chiefs and take them hostage. They were going to offer him the Benedict Arnold medallion at the award ceremony. It sort of stuck in my head, so I just threw it in with everything else. lol! The "Legitimate Businessman" thing was also a joke from something else, but I can't remember what exactly. I just remember that a gangster in some show introduced himself as "So-and-so, 'Legitimate Businessman'" or something like that. It's been a running gag with me and my brother ever since. Whenever there's someone involved in something shady, like Frankie Columbus in Life of the Party, we give him that label. "Frankie Columbus, 'Legitimate Businessman.'"
