Revision as of 06:07, 23 October 2007
Name
Where are we getting this name from? I don't remember this toy being called that anywhere in the toon. — Defender1031*Talk 05:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- You're right — it didn't get named until the latest Quote of the Week...

- I don't know about you, but it looks like "St. Loolis" to me... — Defender1031*Talk 05:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, it sounded to me like Strong Bad was just making fun of its real name in that QotW. Are you suggesting that the article be moved to The Spirit of St. Loolis? Trey56 05:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Possibly, as i don't really get how "loolis" is making fun of it... it seems like it, but i just don't see any meaning... — Defender1031*Talk 05:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was basing my opinion on his inflection when he says it. It almost sounds like he was trying to think up a clever insult, but only came up with "Loolis". Now I feel like I'm over-analyzing it... Trey56 06:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Further overanalysation and speculation: Portmanteau of "loser" and "louis". --DorianGray 06:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Umm... that doesn't quite work... where does the l come from? and take out the l, you just have loois anyway... — Defender1031*Talk 06:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Merit
I can think of a possible resolution to the above name dilemma. Is this subject even worthy of a separate article? The inclusion guidelines indicate that a H*R-specific object should be integral to the plot of a toon to merit its own article, and I'm not sure that this qualifies. The plane appears for a few seconds at the end of business trip and is the subject of a few lines, and one of those lines happens to have been used in a Quote of the Week. But that's it.
That said, it's a cute little article, and I kind of like it. But in my opinion, I don't think this toy was central enough to the plot of the email it appeared in to merit its own article... Trey56 06:07, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
