were are the cloits?

I think there is something called a cloit, but I have absolutely no idea what it is. — _talk Bubsty _edits 00:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

It's right under the pecs, it's like a rib-spanning muscle.

[edit] Based on a real toy?

I don't know why, but I searched Google Images for "wooden cheese" and found this toy. It's called Lacing Cheese, and searching for it specifically brings up a lot of different models. You think that's what TBC saw the kid dragging? Should it be added to the article, of just speculation? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 06:19, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Does this article have to be at The Cloitsterizer? It’s not like we have The Ab-abber -113.37.226.89 09:18, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

this is true, but I think The Brothers Chaps referred to it as "The Cloitsterizer" in The Commentary.

MATT: The Cloitsterizer is something we actually saw; eh, it's mentioned elsewhere on this DVD, but we saw a kid dragging that around a thrift store one day—

So I feel that aptly covers this conversation. thanks for listening to my HRWIKI talk. ----J∃ffJMan 11:31, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Not sure that really counts, as "the" fits perfectly fine in this context, since Matt starts the sentence with it. It doesn't seem to be an integral article; it's a normal, inanimate object, and therefore should be phrased as "the" Cloitsterizer, or "a" Cloitsterizer if there were multiple of them.
A similar example is how it wouldn't sound right to say "Strong Bad had a computer called Lappy 486" over "...the Lappy 486" (even though the Lappy acts like it's a living being several times but that's the first object that came to mind). — Keegster2 (Howl at me) 22:59, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
