Quote from: Orion Pax on May 28, 2008, 12:39:56 PM...before you jump the shark.

I'm not sure that's the phrase you were looking for.  Jump the gun, perhaps?

Sorry, "Jump the shark" in my area is interchangeable with "jump the gun". 

Heh, yeah those are a tad bit different.  :D

The Fonz jumping the shark is one of the most awesome moments in television history.

So...does this "Command Council" bring to mind the "Evil Council" from the cinematic masterpeice "Kung-Pow" or is it just me?

Just you.

Personally I'm imagining something more along the lines of Star Wars. He who shall remain unnamed is the Emperor, not sure who's playing Vader yet though.

But it doesn't make any sense used in that context!

Oh, wait, I found the problem -- Location: MAWG  ;D :P
