Inclusion
I don't think there's anything too unusual about the way Strong Bad uses the word smoldering, and thus it's not notable enough for an article, despite four appearances. — It's dot com 05:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm kinda torn. On the one hand, it's used gratuitously and unusually like style, but on the other hand, it is not that unusual to refer something burning as "smoldering". And we all know how Strong Bad likes explosions. The "smoldering pile of money" is probably the oddest usage of the four. wbwolf (t | ed) 05:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
