I drafted this chapter before I'd ever heard of Chuck Tingle.

Y'know, I do throw a few references in there, like Pretty Dynamo's modified line from Robocop, and later on a demon-possessed guy is going to keep uttering altered versions of a line from The Exorcist ("Your mother breaks rocks in hell," "Your mother wears frocks in hell," etc.), and I kind of thought about putting in a Chuck Tingle reference, but I decided that would be too obscure, and also I was sort of like, "Nah."

It would have gone something like this:

RIFLE MAIDEN: Space raptors are invadin'? My butt!
JAKE: Space raptors are invading your butt?
RIFLE MAIDEN: No, I mean, my butt, they're invadin'!
JAKE: That's what I said.

And later:

RIFLE MAIDEN: Them space raptors were tough, but we pounded their butts!
JAKE: I think you mean you kicked their butts. Pounded their butts means something ... different.
