Hammin' it up

Ekersby's ham-heartedness is a reference to The King of Town's ham-heartedness in Halloween Fairstival

From: Stinkomanual
Posted on: 18:58, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • There is only one other place in all of H*R where someone has a ham-shaped heart (ham-hearted).
  • Ekersby does have a pixellated ham for a heart, while the King of Town seemingly has a real ham for a heart.


Arguments against:

  • A very unlikely reference.
  • Judging from Ekersby's quote in the Stinkomanual, the word "ham" is probably a bad English translation of "half", as in "half-heartedly".

Additional comments:

  • There is mention of the KoT's ham-heart in Halloween Fairstival in the discussion portion for the Stinkomanual as well (at the bottom). Is the argument against based on the literal meaning of 'ham-hearted' as it applies to Ekersby's (personal) character?
  • It's more of an instance than a reference.
    • I agree, we should revise it to say that it's not a reference, as I don't think it is, but instead similar to the way The KOT has a ham for a heart.
  • The Argument Against is difficult to parse. Does "ham-heartedness", in reference to Ekersby, refer to his ham-shaped heart or not? And if it's the latter, how does that make it any less of a reference?
  • Ekersby has a ham for a heart. KoT has a ham lodged in his heart.

Proposed revision:

Ekersby has a ham for a heart, just as it is shown that The King of Town does (in Halloween Fairstival).

Arguments for:

ham hearts
  • After closer inspection, they both do have hams for hearts.

Arguments against:

  • This revision is factually inaccurate: KoT doesn't have a ham for a heart. He has a ham lodged in his heart.

Additional comments:

  • Is a revision required? The current revision is on its way to being accepted.
    • The revision is more accurate, as although Ekersby does have a ham for a heart, it is probably not a reference. But it is similar, so this is more of a piece of trivia than an inside reference.
