Ideas

I have no doubt that when the arcane powers book comes out in april that I will have Dalanor take a familiar. I have already introduced through my blog a Feline named Arilo, however he was from Dalanor's past.......my other option is an owl for reasons that fit my character.....but, the question is...would we be able to get through a session without making Clash of the Titans references? Or jokes for that matter? Granted, it would be funny at first.....but I don't know if a weekly 15 minute joke is a necessary evil........what do you guys think?
