Courtesy of StumbleVideo on our Wii, L and I have "stumbled" across Robot Chicken, a crazy delicious Adult Swim show. (I'm sure a lot of you out there have known about this show longer than we have!) Here's a description of the show, via Wikipedia:

Robot Chicken is a variety show that parodies a number of pop culture conventions using stop motion animation of toys, action figures, dolls, and claymation (usually for special effects) and various other objects, such as tongue depressors.

• Calvin and Hobbes
• Darth Vader Calls
• Mario Kart: Vice City
• Ted Turner is Captain Planet

Remember, tacos rule!

This probably isn't going to make much sense to those who aren't a part of our Star*Drive parody campaign, but for those of you that are, here are those hilarious quotes from Drew's session parodying the Neutral Zone. I thought about parring the list down to just my favorites, but that was pretty much most of the ones I wrote down. So, I leave it to you, the interested quote reader, to skim through and find your own favorites.
