Was rewatching the Loguetown arc again, and saw something worth at least mentioning: Around the 8:00 mark of episode 51 as Buggy's yelling at Mouji, Ritchie gets startled and gives a surprised growl. The first part of it sounds disturbingly like Howard Dean's howl that talk shows repeatedly pound when they're making fun of him. Listen and tell me what you think.
