The Holey Grill

Proposed revision:

Contrary to what you might expect from looking at the grill, the smoke from the foggers don't come out of the holes on the top of the grill.

Arguments for:

  • This makes the fact more specific rather than a simple naration of what happens in the scene.

Arguments against:

  • The fact remains that the vents can be and apparently have been closed, demonstrated by the fact that no fog emanates from them.
  • It's unlikely that The Cheat would want those holes open while he's sleeping. Otherwise moonlight, rain, insects, etc could get inside the grill and disturb him.

Additional comments:

  • I don't think the first line of the revision is necessary. Remove it, and you've got the version above. It is therefore my opinion that those voting to accept this revision should move their votes up top so that it can be folded back into the original. The original might still have a chance with the support of those below.

Contact Buzz

A contact buzz may occur when one inhales secondhand smoke and feels the effects of the drug (e.g., nicotine).

From: bedtime story
Posted on: 15:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • Quite a few people may not know what a contact buzz is.

Arguments against:

  • You can tell the meaning from the context.

Additional comments:

  • From this page (does everybody know we have that page?): One of the criteria for an unnecessary fun fact is something "that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript." I had never heard the term contact buzz before seeing this toon, but I was able to discern the meaning of the phrase just by the context.
  • I'd rather not mention drugs in any HSR cartoon. Yes, the meaning may be relevant but it's easily gained from the wording and it sort of ruins the Saturday-morning-cartoon innocence that TBC are going for.
    • If TBC were really going for innocence why would they use a phrase that is almost exclusively used to refer to phenomenon surrounding drugs like marijuana?
      • Let's not start one of those arguments about the appropriacy of H*R content. It is simultaneously true that TBC try to "keep it clean" and regularly include material that is offensive to various parties, and they do not invest either habit with the importance that many fans do.

I Got First Game

The Adventures of Lolo and The Adventures of Bayou Billy are both 1-player games, so Moses Malone and The Cheat couldn't play them together.

From: bedtime story
Posted on: 04:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • Looking closely, both The Cheat and Moses aren't operating the controls at the same time.
  • In addition, Moses Malone's questions make it sound like he hasn't been playing the games that The Cheat has.
  • Both of them made the comment "I got first game," implying 1-player games.

Additional comments:

  • I often hold the idle second controller even when I'm not playing, out of habit.
  • If I remember right, at least with Bayou Billy, either controller would work, so essentially two players could play the one character.

Sorry, No Refunds

Although Moses Malone advises The Cheat to save the receipts for these two games, most stores do not accept returns on new, opened software. The Cheat could only return the game if he had purchased it used.

From: bedtime story
Posted on: 04:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • The policies for today's software were not in place when these games were new. It was practically impossible back then to play the game without the actual cartridge, so anti-piracy measures wouldn't have been in place.
  • Malone is just talking trash to The Cheat; he's not giving actual advice.
