Ghyll talk:EctoMechanauts

Right, the names are changed. One of them happens to be an actual corporation acronym, but that was totally accidental. Sorry for all the extra copyediting work on this one, but I was actually getting work done at work for a change! I hope the rest of the jokes aren't too heavy-handed. --Doctor Phineas Crank 07:30, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)

I heartily enjoyed this entry. Al Bundy, love objects, dead babies, hooHAH! --Morbus Iff 23:38, 13 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Thank you! I hope everyone caught the jokes. Of course, I snuck C3PO in there and my wife came up with the reference to Data for me. Her favorite ST:NG joke is the bit about him being "fully functional". (Luckily, she likes goofy guys with big noses, since she thinks I bear a passing resemblance to Mr. Spiner.) --Doctor Phineas Crank 07:47, 14 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Thoroughly enjoyable, especially the part about Carl Kapek. One cannot help but love obscure references, especially C3PO. --Lankin the Mad Mage 07:32, 23 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Glad you liked it. Unfortunately, the wife has since left me, so I regret the reference to her favorite joke, but, otherwise, I was rather proud of this one. --Doctor Phineas Crank 11:37, 23 Apr 2005 (EDT)

hey there! question: i tried turning "mechanauts" into an active link as i have now phantomed "mechanaut". however, by putting the double [] around "mechanauts" i have created a NEW phantom that is not attached/directed to "mechanaut" simply because of the plural "s". Now, I know this can be done... what's the trick? Also, Carl Kapek is an "obscure reference"??? I didn't think it was "obscure" but if it is, thanks for bringing him into this fine tome of encyclopedic knowledge, maybe someone will actually learn something! :) --Nikos of Ant 10:35, 17 May 2005 (EDT)

To create a link to another page, but with different text, use the following syntax: [[Mechanaut|Mechanauts]]. --Morbus Iff 11:10, 17 May 2005 (EDT)

thanks! --Nikos of Ant 11:24, 17 May 2005 (EDT)
