There's definitely two more children than the 27. There's Condoleeza Marie and there's Gummy Sue:

The article says that Cletus has 27 kids, but then names 28. Moreover, AidPc claims there are at least 29. (Condoleeza Marie is named in the article but Gummy Sue is not.) Can anyone (with an encyclopedic knowledge of Simpsons trivia and way too much time on his or her hands) clear this up? dbtfz^talk 03:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename page?

At the time of moving, Cletus Spuckler seemed a perfectly good name. But now I consider the fact that he's also known as "Cletus Delroy", among others.

So I propose we have a vote.

[edit] Vote

You may change these options, but only to add another.

Keep Cletus Spuckler.

1. Keep Cletus Spuckler. It is the official name. --DChiuch 01:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
2. Keep per #1 - Adolphus79 22:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Change to Cletus Delroy.

Change to Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel.

1. If this is the character's best-known name, as the article asserts, then it should be moved there per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names), no? Flowerparty☀ 14:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Change to Cletus (The Simpsons)

1. Discrepancy in names means this is the best option.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 15:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Precognition?

Does the scene in "The Wandering Juvie" qualify him to go into Category:Fictional characters with precognition?

OK... Anyone interested in helping cleanup the Simpsons information, join the WikiProject... if we can all work together, instead of different editors working on different pages, we can get all the Simpsons information on all of Wikipedia organized... - Adolphus79 04:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganization

I took a stab at organizing the article into sections -- it was very loosely formatted. I removed the "Keven Federline/Britney Spears" bit, since I couldn't figure out an encyclopedic way to say "some people use this as a catty term for the celebrity couple due to their perception that Federline and Spears are white trash." If someone can phrase it more politely and eloquently, feel free to re-add it... but try to have some sort of citation. - DynSkeet * Talk 14:30, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I am both drunk and not entirely conversant with the operation of wikipedia discission editing, but please can someone add the quote (I paraphrase) 'cleetus you can knock me up again' to the quotes section. I think it was meant to be a derogatory reference to provincial people having no concept of familly planning, but to me it indicated a solidity in their relationship that made me envy cleetus :)

Huh, another set of kids. That's gonna mess things up.
