Talk:One If by Clam, Two If by Sea

==Playing Glasses== I'm not sure about this, but I'm vaguely certain that the song Peter is playing on the glasses during the storm is "What I Did For Love" from the musical "A Chorus Line". I added it, but if someone could check and make sure, that'd be dandy. 72.72.222.79 03:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FGOneIfByClam.jpg
Image:FGOneIfByClam.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It is idiotic that inputting the term "One if by land, two if by sea" brings a user to this page
It's so nice that looking up a significant event in American history takes one to an episode of an idiotic animated cartoon series, he said sarcastically. I'm sure in the mind of the average Wikipedia nerd that The Fmaily Guy is a world-class cultural event equivalent to Shakespeare of Milton that will be remembered centuries from now, but to non-nerds, I think having a link to the actual event trumps the mindview of the nerds. I have contributed to Wikipedia, but frankly, most people I know consider it a joke. Lavishing attention on crap like this is one of those reasons that Wikipedia is more a burlesque of an encyclopedia than a true knowledge resource.Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 19:14, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This has been corrected. The reason you were redirected here was probably because a redirection hadn't been made yet for that particular sentence, and that this episode includes almost all the words in the sentence. So you'll either have to blame search engines for not reading minds or people for not being quick enough to enter all redirections. It's a quite complicated process if you're not knowledgeable about search engines. What you can do to make your searching faster is adding more parameters, either the American revolution or the poet that wrote about this certain event (Henry Wadsworth (Paul Revere's Ride)),. Can you imagine, a poet writing history? One could almost assume it's true. DukeTwicep (talk) 15:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Plot 'hole'
I wonder if a third party source has mentioned the plot hole of Lois -having- a witness to the Englishman's brutal insurance scheme rip-off, namely that sitcom star. Because it would be worth adding if so. Lots42 (talk) 05:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Meg
She isn't in this episode. TripOnMyShip (talk) 04:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay...? Lots42 (talk) 12:21, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Though it is worth noting, it's not worth noting in an encyclopedic encyclopedia, sorry. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 15:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Brian and Stewie
I'm pretty sure the whole bet between Brian and Stewie is a reference to the play ***PYGMALION*** by George Bernard Shaw. In the play Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, makes a bet with a fellow linguist, Colonel Pickering, that he can transform a poor, flower girl named Eliza into a duchess. Stewie of course represents Higgins, as he is the teacher and will stop at nothing to accomplish his goals. Brian represents Pickering, since he is the only other party and he shows the same gentlemanly characteristics. Eliza represents, well, Eliza. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.69.67.161 (talk) 04:52, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * First, if you're going to name me here, it would be nice if you'd bring to my attention the fact that you were going to bring me up (a note on my Talk page, for instance). Second, if there's a ref for Stewie's voice, why not copy it to this page to avoid any questions about unsourced material? Third, being pretty sure that something's a reference doesn't make it one. If you can't provide a reliable source then the material is original research and inappropriate for inclusion. If you feel strongly enough that it should be included even though you can't find a reliable source, you can always include a citation needed tag, but it is possible the material will just be removed at a later time.

 * Seems you already added the material back in, with citations. Cool. Doniago (talk) 05:22, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Though, regarding the paragraph on the episode's name, I don't believe a link to a poem is sufficient proof that the name of the episode is an intentional reference to it. I'll wait for someone else to chime in on that though. Doniago (talk) 05:24, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I suppose I'm still a bit new at this, or just being an amateur. Working on fixing that, also. Kalmbach (talk) 15:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. Sorry if I was a bit terse in my earlier message. Doniago (talk) 16:08, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, now I know. And knowing is half the battle! ^.^ Kalmbach (talk) 20:01, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
