Vital Question

[Zeke]

I've always liked Rick Berman's joke that 47 is 42 adjusted for inflation.

Oh, so you can comment on funny juxtaposition, but when I do it....

[Nate the Great]

That sounds about right.

I won't explain Mudshark's hidden joke because it really is stupid.

I don't get it, but I think the real question is: Who is 'Val'?

[Nate the Great]

What, you don't like "Val?"

Chancellor Valium: What if the road is placed in the box, flattening the cat, and the box is then re-sealed?
mudshark: Who nose?

A cat and a nose. Meowth (of Pokemon fame) points out every so often that the animator forgot to draw him with a nose. Incredibly obscure, incredibly random. You really didn't want to know.

Or it could just be that the catbox smells bad.

Val = Prince Valiant.

[Nate the Great]

Well, actually Val is Valkyrie, one of the Defenders. Great semi-Thor knockoff.

"Val" is a sleazy, cheap, chavvy laundromat owner who incessantly chews gum, who invites every equally disgusting specimen that enters her presence to an evening of herpes and cans Tesco Value Red Wine in her tiny flat upstairs. Or at least, that's what the name implies to me.

And I still don't get the joke

[Nate the Great]

You need to be a Pokemon fan to get the joke. Flattened cat+no nose=Meowth.

...Ah.
