This page needs serious attention, it was in terrible condition when I found it and Ive done all I can. I have been seriously hampered by some other editor who seems to have a personal vendetta against me, so Im giving up on it and putting it in the hands of others.

There's no problem except that JC seems to have a problem with the double meanings of words like wiener and huevos, and other assorted things he apparently doesn't understand. He's never contributed diddley to the article, from what I see, merely deleted things he didn't like. I would suggest the taskforce leave the page content up to the consensus of the contributors, which is what was being done before JC stuck his nose in it. Tubezone 10:25, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I found the page, there was a cleanup tag on it(one that Tubezone decided to remove today), being the responsible wikipedian that Ive been for more than a year, I looked over the article and found many entries that simply didnt belong. I would like to make it clear that I left the majority of the page intact, obviously missleading item names like "Married Couple`s Lungs", deserve to have a place on the page
Anyway, I had made several edits before Tubezone began his "contributions". I know what Huevos Rancheros is, my father often made it for breakfast when I was child. I know that Huevos is spanish for Eggs and its also slang for testicles. Im aware that "Huevos Rancheros" may be a pun/double entendre because of slang, but ONLY because of slang. I dont think that this is a page for slang and puns.
And about puns, I love puns and humor and double entendres and wordplay, I read Dominic Deegan every day, I worship Mel Brooks and Im currently making a Nabeshin costume! I bought a four dollar can of Spotted Dick just because it made me laugh. Do not start accusing me of having no sense of humor. Jack Cain 10:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Heh heh, Spotted Dick. David P. A. Hunter 10:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC).[reply]


I'm closing this entry. The page is much improved. RJFJR 18:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
