The Whatever

A luau is a type of feast prominent in Hawaiian culture. It consists primarily of traditional Polynesian song and dance and the eating of an ethnic paste called poi, as well as roasting pork and salmon over an open rotisserie. Since Marzipan is a vegetarian, however, she instead roasts a slab of tofu.

Arguments for:

  • Interesting, and not everyone watching the toon will know this.

Arguments against:

  • Anyone can figure out what a luau is by watching the toon.
  • This seems unnecessarily long.

Additional comments:

  • The only issue here is the phrase "ethnic paste." Since I indulged the wikilink, I learned poi is made of the mashed stem of a plant whose name I cannot recall at this moment - it's not quite soup, not quite glue, apparently. I know the author is trying to convey the fact that poi (whatever it is) is representative of Polynesian culture (as opposed to, say, that of the Laplanders), but can't we think of something better than "ethnic paste"?
    • How about just "paste"?
    • That works.

Proposed revision:

Even though a Hawaiian luau normally features meat, Marzipan, a vegetarian, roasts a slab of tofu.

Arguments for:

  • This revision contains the essential information of the original fact and is much more concise.

Arguments against:

  • The revision has none of the heart or interest of the original.

Additional comments:

  • The fact upon which this revision is based is currently on its way to acceptance. Why muddy the waters with a proposed change?
    • Because things can change in a close vote. Not that they necessarily will on this item, mind you.

From: The Luau

      • Ok.

Nofu

Tofu is an Asian food made from curds of soy milk.

From: The Luau
Posted on: 01:45, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • This isn't necessary. Just link to tofu in the item above or somewhere in the transcript.
  • It is a real fact, but that's true. It just isn't needed.

Unexpected guests?

In Strong Bad's marshmallow roast, he was seen with 16 name tags. Yet, at the time, only 11 characters existed, and even if Homsar did, there would still be too many. Also, Strong Sad and Marzipan were at the luau, and the KOT was uninvited, so only eight tags were used, (Unless someone wasn't wearing one).

From: The Luau
Posted on: 13:29, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • Hard to find, good to know.

Arguments against:

  • It was obviously just done that way to fill up screen space.
  • For all we know, Strong Bad may have been expecting more guests.
  • Why would STrong Bad keep track if he was putting the same name on all of the tags? He probably just filled out the whole box of them with "Crap for Brains"
