I believe the title text refers to the story about Calvin Coolidge about making a bet to not say 3 words.[[User:Blawho|Blawho]] ([[User talk:Blawho|talk]]) 04:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | I believe the title text refers to the story about Calvin Coolidge about making a bet to not say 3 words.[[User:Blawho|Blawho]] ([[User talk:Blawho|talk]]) 04:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | ||

Duke Nukem says: "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum...", not the other way around. Don't know if this is worth mentioning.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know the movie quote. With this info in mind, I now think that panel 2 shows that Cueball is perhaps not making friends, so he decides to just go for the chewing gum option??

I added that the dénouement was similar to something the naïve and childish Beret Guy would do, that okay?

:: sorry, no native english - why is "I'm" counted as one word as it is "I am" which I would count as two words? Or is "don't" and "can't" also one word? -- [[Special:Contributions/162.158.92.17|162.158.92.17]] 13:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | :: sorry, no native english - why is "I'm" counted as one word as it is "I am" which I would count as two words?

:::"don't" and "can't" are both also considered one word. In English, a contraction functions as one word, even though it combines multiple words. Don't bother asking why... the rules of English don't necessarily make sense. :-) [[User:Suspender guy|Suspender guy]] ([[User talk:Suspender guy|talk]]) 16:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | :::"don't" and "can't" are both also considered one word.

The description of the hovertext mentions "out of words" and "out of both"; might want to include the original, "out of bubblegum". Also, the deliberate truncation implies "out of time", which could relate to the possibility of it being a tribute to Roddy Piper.--[[User:Beth|Beth]] ([[User talk:Beth|talk]]) 12:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | The description of the hovertext mentions "out of words" and "out of both"; might want to include the original, "out of bubblegum".

I don't wanna change Randall's work - I just want to mention that ''I came here to chew bubblegum and say only sixteen words ... and I'm all out of'' would be more close to proposed origin where a) 16 words [with I'm= 1] and b) only positive descriptions used. -- [[Special:Contributions/162.158.92.17|162.158.92.17]] 13:16, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | I don't wanna change Randall's work - I just want to mention that ''I came here to chew bubblegum and say only sixteen words ... and I'm all out of'' would be more close to proposed origin where a) 16 words [with I'm= 1] and b) only positive descriptions used. -- [[Special:Contributions/162.158.92.17|162.158.92.17]] 13:16, 5 August 2015 (UTC) | ||
