It seems that many of the elements in Descent are references to obscure 
aspects of shows, stories, or songs. I've seen meanings posted for Guile, 
Gabba Gabba Hey, Racerx, and perhaps Mitzi. "BIGRED" refers to the mega 
missile. And "AHIMSA" refers to a Hindu doctrine of nonviolence against 
animals.
Do Twilight and Scourge mean anything (besides being the callsigns of 
various Parallax and Interplay guys, who shall remain nameless)? And who 
or what is Farmer Joe? Is he related to the Dirty Cheeseman in any way?

(a slightly facetious post)
