->Oh yes, spoiler alert: turns out Cortana’s dramatic death scene in the last game [[DeathIsCheap wasn’t for realsies]] but one could kind of predict that from the mere fact that there is a ''Halo 5''...But despite Mr. Chuffy knowing Cortana best and his grief affecting his work ('cos they had to install little windscreen wipers to get all the tears off his face plate), he is inexplicably disinvited from the mission. I guess his superiors thought they were playing ''{{VideoGame/XCom}}'' and wanted to level up some of their rookies. And so Mr. Chuffy is given an excuse to go rogue.

->Remember when {{Wrestling/Hornswoggle}} debuted, and he wasn’t Hornswoggle? Remember his original name? It was Little Bastard. I know WWE is [[LighterAndSofter family friendly]] and all that jazz these days, but seriously, that’s a name that [[TheScrappy needs to come back]]...Now he gets to make a fool out of [[Wrestling/ChavoGuerreroJr Chavo Guerrero]], who must have THE NUCLEAR HEATZ with someone high up because I have no clue as to why he’s been the consistent target of [[ButtMonkey pointless humiliation]] on a weekly basis. Considering he’s been loyal to the company his uncle and best friends have died for, you’d think he’d be rewarded for his loyalty.\\\
But in true WWE fashion, loyalty results in humiliation.

->By 1960 [[Music/FrankSinatra Sinatra]] was once again political. He had been a playmate of [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy Jack Kennedy]] during his senatorial days; he was also gung-ho to help out his conservative but attractive fellow Catholic friend. But some Kennedy advisers thought the Red Mafioso should be avoided at all costs...for those who have wonder what dinner might have been like for [[Theatre/HenryIV Falstaff]] when Prince Hal--now King--snubbed him, I can report that after Kennedy was nominated in Los Angeles at the convention where I was a delegate, Tony Curtis and Janet Lee gave a movie-star party for the nominee. I was placed, along with Sinatra, at the table where Kennedy would sit. We waited. And waited. Sinatra looked edgy; started to [[DrowningMySorrows drink heavily]]. Dinner began. Then one of the toothy sisters of the nominee said, casually, 'Oh, Jack's sorry. He can't come. He's gone to the movies.' Opposite me, Falstaff deflated and spoke no more that evening.

->Put in a more cynical way, this massive franchise, created by a company that is one of the most zealous defenders of intellectual property laws, amounts to a decades-long exploitation the intellectual work of one man who died with no significant estate or major assets. Ain't history grand?
