I have no idea what that means, except that I think colored cards have something to do with soccer. It appears to be lacking a crossover, though, and that means I have to break out the Finite Improbability Generator to make up the lost ground.
Cool Blade Runnings - In a dark corporate future, the Jamaican bobsled team must overcome a cloning scandal and prepare for a new round of Olympics
Harry Potter and the Pureblood Puppies - after turning himself into a dalmatian puppy with accidental magic to run away from his awful rellies, young Harry Potter is captured by a cruel fashionista and must escape with his 100 newly adopted siblings.
Star Wars: Return of the Red Green Show - with the Empire broken at last, the galaxy is coming apart at the seams. Luckily Red has the power of the handyman's secret weapon as his ally - Duct Tape! Also, Ranger Gort explores Kashyyk, and Red and Bill have to change the hyperdrive coolant in Bill's light freighter.

Warlord of Kars?

Someone already suggested that.
I'm not sure what it's referring to (which probably indicates my ignorance of some aspect of current culture), but I keep wanting to read it as "Warlord of Karse"... and I can't remember what setting the country of Karse was from. Maybe Velgarth?

Kars is the first village you pass once you cross the Ottawa city boundary on the highway from Toronto. (Then you pass Manotick, then Nepean, and finally you get to Ottawa itself.)
Now that I've explained the joke... ... we'll approach Ottawa on a different road: John Carter, Warlord of Vars

And my response to 'Kars', last time it showed up, was to reference the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure villain of the same name.

...not sure why you had to break the pattern for this one. 'Warlord of .rars' would have worked just as well. Smaller, too.

For those who don't know, Gars is Men in French, in the manly sense of the term.

Didn't think of that one, and the second came to mind quick since I'm a MTG player. Wouldn't want too much competition with the Warlord of ZARs, anyway.

Very much so. Gar are sort of notorious for being mean fish to reel in. At least, when I was kid they were. I haven't gone fishing (or fishin' for that matter) in many years.

Huh. The "my girlfriend turned into the moon" line also works as an L5R crossover... though knowing Mirumoto Hitomi, that has some really *fascinating* implications for what kind of a guy Sokka is.

We've replaced Bella Swan with Elizabeth Swann. Hijinks ensue, and all the rum is gone for some reason.
