The latest Team Fortress 2 blog entry went up earlier today. With it came one of the best reads I've seen from this, or any blog.
This week, the team explains how their four hour magnum opus was cut from a Predator meets Road House masterpiece down to just a few minutes inside of a refrigerator.

The suits took issue with every brave, authority-questioning page of our Meet the Sandvich script-specifically that there were supposed "similarities" between it and the 1987 action film Predator, and more specifically that it was word for word the 1987 action film Predator.It's all true, every last word of it. Really!
"Could you explain to us how your script is in any way different from Predator?" asked one of the suits.
"Predator takes place in Guatemala," Erik explained, using his I'm-explaining-something-idiotic-to-a-child voice. "Meet the Sandvich takes place inside a refrigerator in Guatemala."
"Where you can hear Predator happening outside of the refrigerator," clarified Jay.
"Also, Predator is two hours long," Erik continued. "Ours is four hours long."
"Right," said a suit, "but only because the script includes the first half of Predator..."
We nodded.
"... then all of Road House, and then the rest of Predator."
