[HoE] Funny References in HoE [Shane]

[J Tolle <jwtolle@altavista.com>]

Well, I am currently reading Wasted West suppliment, and I gotta tell ya, there are thousands of great little references to pop culture in that book.

The most obvious is the hillarious reference to Wizards of The Coast.  I especially the Shakespearean "Game within a game" and self referential motif.  (Watch Hamlet for more info - it was Shakespear's favorite device.  Tarrintino got nothing on the master of self referential plot devices.)

Some others that I had to stretch a little to get, but I think they are good.

I reckon ComSat is the Satellite of Love - Do we have a Lou Reed fan in our midst?

Oh yeah - I am guessing that the Harbinger should be called Nathan, Jr. - And I am expecting the lone biker of the Apocalypse to be accosted by Holly Hunter in a cop outfit.  "Give me back my baby, you warthog from hell!"

Shane, any validity to these conclusions?

Hey list - are there any I missed?  Well, I should say, I know I mised a bunch, but let me know what they are!
