McGee's email address from Twisted Sister:


Pay day is every second Friday. This is from Twisted Sister. By the days, dates and fact there are 30 days in the month, this is most likely Nov 2006. Twisted Sister was filmed 16-26 October (casting notes give dates here), post production (when they add the graphics like this) was probably November.
