Notes:
Obligatory "amnesia" episode: Dale forgets who he is.
Some very funny ideas: Dale dressing up as Rambo (ANOTHER media creation),
"existential mouse" popping in with existential comments a la the Mynah
Bird in WB cartoons, idea of a cousin of Fat Cat being as dog-obsessed
as FC himself, some nice verbal humor ("a famous chipmunk terrorist", "Never
in a million years!/Is it 1,000,000 AD already?").
"Nobody has respect for Dale" -- hit as hard here as anywhere.
Return of operetta music (piano) when C&D have duel with "swords."
