 * Delete Though I found it quite enjoyable to read, I must suggestion deletion on the basis that it's a collection of trivia on a very obscure subject. HillbillyGoat (talk) 23:53, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article is hilarious, bizarre, and quirky, but it's not encyclopedic.  Chri$topher  23:29, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
