OFF: Spawn, BOC non-reference...

<< The line was uttered in the first episode of the second season of HBO's
 Spawn and goes something like this:

 Violator - "This world isn't about trust.  Its about Dominance and
 Submission, its about power."

 Ghost in the Ruins...

 ... a huge fan of the animated series. >>


Oh, well, this probably isn't a BOC reference, then...  "Dominance and
submission" is pretty much a set phrase, it wasn't invented by Sandy Pearlman.
For another example, if Violator were to say "Heaven forbid!" sometime, that
probably wouldn't be a BOC reference either. :-)  (Not that that's something
he'd be liable to say unless with ironic intent, of course...:-)  On the other
hand, any mention of "flaming telepaths" or "tyranny and mutation" or "horn-
swooped bungo ponies" WOULD probably be a BOC reference...:-)
