Closed Fun Facts

These fun facts were on STUFF and closed. If you wish to contest these, please leave a note, but don't allow it to be confused with the original votes.

Sickly Sam's lucky day (REVISE)

This is the only old-timey toon so far that does not have Sickly Sam "dying".

  • Neutral I guess this is fine, but i need to watch the old-timey cartoons to make sure that he has appeared in at least three to make sure that he hasnt just died in one and lived in another. This an all right fact, i think. What about the rest of you? --acekirby13 19:01, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
  • Decline Has Sickly Sam died in anything other than Parsnips a Plenty?
  • Decline I think that any fun fact with the phrase "so far" or the like should be rejected automatically. Besides, didn't he not die in the kick the can cartoons? Donny vs Universe
    • Comment Sickly Sam was never in Kick the Can. Oh, and Sickly Sam did "die" in Mr. Shmallow (easter egg). He also fell of the I-beam in Ballad of The Sneak (if that counts). --Trogga 13:39, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
    • Second "Fun" facts that can become easily dated are "bad" facts. --tomstiff 15:17, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
  • Rewrite and Accept I've watched all the cartoons that Sickly Sam is in, and That a Ghost seems to be the only one where he doesn't die (even though all the characters were skinned alive, none of them seemed to be "dead"). I would have to agree with Donny, but I'll just say to take out "so far", and delete this fact if he survives in another old-timey toon. However, I guess this fact's fate is up to the rest of the voting public, too. --acekirby13
    • Second--rsl12 21:46, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
    • Ummm, my basis for declining this fact was that it could be easily become false. Removing "so far" from it doesn't change that. Also, the fact relies on Sickly Sam being in every old timey cartoon for it to work. He isn't in kick the can so he doesn't die there (even if it is by a technicallity). The fun fact just doesn't work. Donny vs Universe
  • Rewrite How about "This is Sickly Sam's first appearance where he does not 'die'." --Trogga 14:15, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
  • Decline Slightly We can all see Sickly Sam ATTEMPTED to kill himself by burying himself alive on a Tuesday. -Walking Armless
    • 1936 Bubs was buried alive too, but he seemed to be OK. --Trogga 17:31, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
  • I disagree that anything noted as "so far" is bad (though "this is the first time" is usually more appropriate.) However, this fact isn't totally true as stated, so Rewrite and accept --Jay 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Revise My basis for rejecting this was the "so far". Revise to "the first time". -- tomstiff 19:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cory (Declined)

The painting marked "Cory" is most likely a reference to Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2.

  • BACLINED! Wait, no... OR it could be a reference to cheat talk. OR it could just be some randomly chosen name. --Jay 11:43, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Well, Cory from cheat talk was a real person, so TBC couldn't have come up with that. And cheat talk Cory is a city in the Homestarverse. Painting Cory and Camdidate Cory are people. --VolatileChemical 12:54, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • So what if they didn't invent the name for cheat talk? The name still came up, so the "reference" is just as valid. And, as I said, there's the whole "randomly chosen name" scenario. --Jay 14:41, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline The answering machine could have been referring to a "Corey", or "Cori", not neccessarily "Cory".
  • Most Likely Declined Your geekdar is overly sensitive, when was the last time you had an expert look at it? Dasrik 06:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
