Hell, for all we know, it could have something to do with Star Wars.
Swamp, evening. MrYoda and some of the balisong Jedi's are gathered around an incredible new blade, and no one is brave enough to try and flip it...
"Use the Force, Chuck!"
"I can't, it's too light!"
"Weight matters not, look at Blackjack_21...", the Overly Large Jedi apprentice.
"You want the impossible!"
"Hmmmm..." MrYoda closes his eyes, picks up the bali, and goes wicked freestyle. The balisong Jedi are stunned, even amazed. None more then Blackjack_21, however...
After a few minutes of light-speed manipulation, MrYoda puts the unknown balisong down. The apprentices all stare as Blackjack_21 walks over to MrYoda and drops to his knees...
"I don't believe it!"
With a cunning smile, Jedi Master Clay, who has been watching from afar, steps out from behind a tree and proclaims, "THAT is why you have failed..."
Okay, a bit too Star Wars-ey, I know.
Maybe all the references to Goldmember and such are really a rouse to trick us., like a Jedi mind trick...
Okay, maybe not.
