 JF> What's the news on getting some airline tickets for us to go down to

Keep wishing.  I had a hard enough time getting them to send me to Orlando
for the Roland/Edirol GS Developers Conference, and that's real work.
 JF> I recall you telling me that there's a surprise on the Shadow Warrior
 JF> CD.  Could you tell me what it is (I'm not a big fan of surprises)?
Well, Lo Wang gets his chance in front of a microphone, sort of.  That's
all I'm going to say on the subject.
 JF> on how well you did).  Of course, you probably got word that Elliot
 JF> Chin doesn't think too highly of Shadow Warrior!  He calls it racist
 JF> and ignorant.  But then, I don't think he's ever heard of this crazy
 JF> thing called "pop culture."
All you have to do is look at "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu" (Peter
Sellers) or "Kentucky Fried Movie" (the "Fistful of Yen" sequence -
Zucker/Abrams/Zucker) to see exactly what we did.  Parody of movie styles.
Par-o-dy.  Look up an old rerun of "In Living Color", or check out Eddie
Murphy's "undercover assignment" as a "white man" to see other parodies of
this type.  No one complained about this stuff, but they complain about
ours.  Go figure.
