[edit] 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:

  • 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:

[edit] First Times

This is the first time Missy Palmer has been credited as a writer.

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

Arguments for:

  • It's true.

Arguments against:

  • It's the only time Missy Palmer has been credited as a writer.

Additional comments:

  • How, exactly, does the first argument against invalidate this this fact?
    • Why not give us a argument for it?
      • Ok.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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"
