This is a fantastic lost episode!  I can't believe that no one has reviewed it yet.  I could hear the music in my mind as I read it. 

Author's Response: Thanks for your review, Julie. It was reviewed on the BotP ML when it was first posted there (a Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away) so I don't feel neglected or anything  :)  I still remember the old Talker sessions where we'd yak away and Nishiko would regale us all with what was showing on Iron Chef at the time. It was during a Shrimp Challenge that someone raised the possibility of a giant shrimp mecha attacking Kitchen Stadium. One thing led to another and you can guess the rest.
