[edit] Reference Diatribe of a Mad Housewife
It can be argued that Diatribe of a Mad Housewife foreshadowed Lisa's eating disorder: When Lisa wonders how she should react to Marge's novel, her libido, locked inside a cage, says "binge and purge", referencing bulimia. In response, Lisa's conscience states her libido is not getting out until Lisa is sixteen - which could be interpreted as the sixteenth season. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 17:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] St. Laurent
First of all, to say something is ironic without a reference is subjective and original research. Second of all, any Canadian who doesn't know who St. Laurent is knows nothing about history anyway. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 20:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Look my friend, I'm currently majoring in history at Laurier (so don't lecture me on history), but we're going from an American perspective and it is ironic that with all of the possible PMs - Chretien, Pearson, Trudeau, Sir John A., Borden, Mackenzie King, Mulroney, Laurier) - they chose St. Laurent. I'm also wondering if you've actually seen the episode. -- Scorpion 20:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- With that statement you've done nothing to remedy its subjectivity. Wikipedia is not written from an American perspective, it's a neutral perspective that can be understandable to anyone. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 20:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just because he's well known to you doesn't make him well known to everyone. -- Scorpion 20:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes.... but just because you think he's obscure doesn't mean you have statistical proof for that. You still need a reference WP:CITE. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 21:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

- Never said I think he's obscure. I didn't add that note, it was already there, but I think it should stay. In case you haven't seen the episode, the joke (in the episode) is that a nerdy 10 year old kid is just supposed to draw a picture of Eisenhower, but he draws Eisenhower AND St. Laurent and says their "relationship was foggy at best". The joke is that he's such a nerd that not only can he draw Eisenhower, but he knows of and drew St. Laurent for no good reason.
- And, since you're Canadian, how bout going here: Inductees of Canada's Walk of Fame and assessing it and deciding whether it's an FLC. -- Scorpion 00:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
