Refining the running gag
I realize that what I'm about to mention is mostly my own fault since I added a lot of these near the article's creation, but I think that we need to refine the running gag here. The repeated joke is the combination of several unlikely foods (or at least a few) into a gross concoction. The prime examples of this are Chocozuma's revenge and The Poopsmith's cake. Others, such as the Lightbulb Sandwich, don't really fit. If I could get some other users to chime in, I'd like to refine this page by removing the examples that don't fit as well:
Clear Cases
I think that these definitely fit the running joke:
- Bronco trolleys
- Suudsu
- Piemonade
- Chocozuma's Revenge
- The Poopsmith's cake
- SBLOUNSKCHED!
- The King of Town's Last Three Items in the Pantry Special!
Big Stretches
I don't think that these ones qualify, either because they don't have enough ingredients or because they're not gross enough:
- Marshmallows and maple syrup
- Marshmallows and tomatoes
- A real fruit smoothie
- Marzipan's magic brew
- Listerine in the Punch
- Lightbulb Sandwich
Questionable Cases
These ones fall somewhere in the middle; I'm not sure if they fit with the gag or not:
- Sour cream and The Cheat hair
- A gumball-and-baloney sandwich
Does anybody have any comments about my divisions? If there's agreement, I'll remove the "big stretches", and perhaps the "questionable cases". Thanks, Trey56 06:29, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Naw, I think you done good with this page; I think all of these are concoctions. I mean, as tasty as marshmallows and tomatoes sound, {shutters} I probably wouldn't have a sudden craving for such a delicacy. As a first rule for this page, (I believe at this point in time), I think you should first ask yourself "Would I eat it?" Now, this isn't a fool-proof plan, but it's a start. Anyone else? kai lyn 14:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
