*Thread Showtime Short*

Feeling mad enough to stab a panda in cold blood today. That is all.

Been there myself. Many times. Hope it works out for you.

You wanna go, Little Man?
Only if it's someplace with candle light.

I'll agree it's most likely a reference to the Colloseum.. heck, the Star Wars thing was also a reference to the Colloseum, so ya might as well go back to the original source, eh?

(As a side note, I've been watching Indiana Jones movies these last few nights, and I have to ask.. Lucas, WHAT HAPPENED man? You used to write good, witty stuff... now fifteen years later and your new characters come across so totally *flat* .. and don't get me started on the *awful* acting in Ep I! Pretty pictures don't make good movies.. so Joss is my master now, yo. )

So far as the evil empire and plucky hero.. I'd say those have stock characters since well before Star Wars.. makes sense they'd continue being used into the future as well.

Yep. I'm not finding anything else so I'm'a have to agree on this. It's what keeps coming up. Thanks.
