		+	:::When ''Spider-Man 2'' was released, there was a large tie-in with Dr Pepper. The movie was featured on the cans, and when Peter Parker went to the convenience store or pizza place or whatever it was, in the background was a huge cooler full of, you guessed it, our favorite product (likewise, there's a scene in the second X-Men movie where a DP is prominently chilled on-screen). I'm afraid you have been sorely misinformed, however, regarding the pure cane sugar version. First, a little background: I have been a Dr Pepper fan for as long as I can remember. I worked for a time at the Dr Pepper corporate headquarters in Plano, Texas, and I'm actually drinking a DP as I type this. I made a special trip to Dublin one spring just to try the sugar version, and so I know what I'm talking about when I say that that stuff is ''nasty''. Blech! Give me the high fructose corn syrup any day. Every day. Over the years, I have re-sampled the sugar product, just to be sure, and each time it's still gross. The worst part is that all my friends know I love Dr Pepper, and so they, believing the myth about Dublin Dr Pepper, go out of their way to get it for me and give it to me as a present. I have to smile and thank them through gritted teeth. Incidentally, I feel like I would probably shell out two bucks for a can if I had to. But I'm glad I don't. ;) — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 16:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

-	:An Easter egg is a hidden feature in a toon that's intended for viewers to find. Almost always, these are accessible through a mouse click on a certain word, etc., but on very rare occasions, [[The Brothers Chaps]] put something within the Flash file for "~~hardcore~~" viewers to find. Interestingly, they talk a little about this very Easter egg that you noticed in [[the chair]] in [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]]. Normally, we don't list oddities on pages that result from decompiling or manipulating the Flash file, but in the rare circumstance that these things are intended for viewers to find, we do. Now that you mention it, we should probably reword [[Easter egg]] a little bit to reflect this.

	::''In regards to changing the text in the above discussion:'' I believe his intent was to censor that specific word (probably due to its less than honorable origins). While that word has become part of modern day speech, I guess it might still be considered an offensive word by some perhaps? If that is the case, I have replaced the word with asterisks. The Dude: if you are censoring text, please spell that out exactly in the edit summary, since it is generally frowned upon when people edit other people's text. DeFender: I know your edit summaries are improving, but I still wanted to give a bit of advice: when reverting edits of this nature it is better to mention why you are reverting in a direct but polite tone. i.e.: ''Users are not supposed to modify other people's posts.'' That way the summaries sound less confrontational. --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 15:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)		::''In regards to changing the text in the above discussion:'' I believe his intent was to censor that specific word (probably due to its less than honorable origins).

-	Sorry about inadvertently causing this whole thing by my use of that word. However, I don't think there's any reason whatsoever to censor it — it has [[Wikipedia:~~Hardcore~~\|many uses unrelated to obscene literature]] (in fact, you'll only find that usage tucked in a little section at the very bottom). From a little poking around at [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/~~hardcore~~ dictionary.com] and [http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50102525/50102525se97?query_type=word&~~queryword~~=~~hardcore~~&first=1&max_to_show=10&sort_type=alpha&result_place=2&search_id=d2dO-nB5XJ7-264&hilite=50102525se97 oed.com], it seems pretty clear that the word was coined with the meaning, "unswervingly committed; uncompromising; dedicated", and it was only later applied to certain types of obscene literature along with a host of other subjects, including music, mathematics, wrestling, and gaming.	+	Sorry about inadvertently causing this whole thing by my use of that word.

-	So, I'm having trouble telling from above if anybody was actually offended or if this is all a misunderstanding, but just in case, there's ''no reason'' to be offended by the use of the word "~~hardcore~~" in everyday speech. It has a well-defined meaning unrelated to anything obscene. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)	+	So, I'm having trouble telling from above if anybody was actually offended or if this is all a misunderstanding, but just in case, there's ''no reason'' to be offended by the use of the word " " in everyday speech.

	Ah, stux i got it now - thank you, until this point i was confused because i didn't think it was me, i just figured some tight*** censored my talk page - turns out, i was on a computer that has some electronic nanny or something on the browser and baleeted the word when i was editing something else. so, really it was my fault, but since this is the case, i'm putting the word back in to trey's comment. long live the internet {{User:TheDude/sig}} 15:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)		Ah, stux i got it now - thank you, until this point i was confused because i didn't think it was me, i just figured some tight*** censored my talk page - turns out, i was on a computer that has some electronic nanny or something on the browser and baleeted the word when i was editing something else. so, really it was my fault, but since this is the case, i'm putting the word back in to trey's comment. long live the internet {{User:TheDude/sig}} 15:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
	:You're welcome. I was as confused as you were about the whole thing. Sucks about the e-nanny thing, but more that I'm being a tightwad and censoring a different part of your page. Yay.
