YES that's proper capitalization

I've looked around at this a long time. I've seen it spelled black tape for a blue girl, Black tape for a blue girl, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, but Rosenthal when he writes about it capitalizes every word; and when it's abbreviated its BTFABG, so every word matters. And besides, he's the authority on his own projekt. Russell D. Jones 20:58, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
