Say, have y'all seen Toy Story II yet? 8^)
I heard Buzz Lightyear say, "You killed my father," to Emperor Zerg, and knew
EXACTLY what would be said next. I couldn't help but joining in with old Zerg
as he replied, then laughing my fool head off.
Many years ago, I read a review of the Mel Brooks movie, "Blazing Saddles." The
thesis of the review was that, once someone produces a spoof of a particular
genre, it means that people have actually been laughing about said genre for
years... Oh yeah, Mel Brooks did "Spaceballs," too -- which I must confess I
haven't seen...
Followups set to lugnet.off-topic.fun.

Eh? I only read this thread because somebody named "Zaphod & Trillian" posted
to it. I haven't bothered with the other OT threads... and only made a comment
about OT threads when it was elicited by John Moore's post. Go back and look
for yourself.
