In Response To: I completely don't get it! *NM* (Rockslider)

Shishka made a pun on the fact it was called a 'Solo' run. As in Han Solo, of Star Wars fame.
At the same time he was also referencing the scene in 'A New Hope' where Solo shoots that green bounty hunter (Greedo) under the table. If I remember correctly, in the original version Solo shot first. In later versions, Greedo shot first.
Basically, in the first version Solo comes off more 'stone cold killer,' while later he's a little more pure and family friendly - self defence, and all that.
And of course, in any Star Wars forum this would probably start a flame war of massive purportions. Regardless, pretty funny yet subtle reference from the old Shishka-meister.
