Including the pedestal, the statue's height is approximately six Cueballs, which means Cueball is over ~6 2/3 feet tall. But it would make more sense to me for the record to exclude the pedestal, as the pedestal is not a likeness of a squirrel or a skateboard; in that case, Cueball is well over 10 feet tall.[[Special:Contributions/172.71.150.213|172.71.150.213]] 06:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC) | Including the pedestal, the statue's height is approximately six Cueballs, which means Cueball is over ~6 2/3 feet tall.

I once heard a friend, commenting after a rather chaotic pub crawl, "That's the most drunk I've ever been while off duty." It was part of a running joke about how seriously his employer took their NDAs; he used to act like any information even remotely related to his job (such as whether he'd ever been blackout drunk at work) was top secret. Other examples included "I've never seen 'Groundhog Day' while off duty before" or "This is the best bbq chicken I ever tasted while off-duty" -- [[User:Angel|Angel]] ([[User talk:Angel|talk]]) 12:48, 2 March 2024 (UTC) | I once heard a friend, commenting after a rather chaotic pub crawl, "That's the most drunk I've ever been while off duty."

Kynde (and others, but especially Kynde), I was never going to just revert your edits, but the Edit Conflict page's summary of differences was far too hard to work out (would have been easier without the newline below the Incomplete-tag being removed, but it offset the first para and then did dumb-matching of odd words from them on...). The plan was always to review what changes I'd ''intentionally'' overriden, copypaste them back and shuffle accordingly, then make it much more as if I'd only spent time editing ''after'' your edit (but using my own effort that I had started before). Looks like I caught you (and others) still actively reviewing. I ''think'' I sorted out everything in useful ways, after another edit or two, but (even by the time this Talk post is posted) no doubt you'll be fine-tuning it in your own way. - I did end up sort-of-reverting some different turns of phrase (not all of which worked, IMO) that changed the sense of my prior editing's intent, but tried to put all *new* contributions by yourself(/ves) back in there. It is always tricky comparing between tabs (one a diff between two prior versions the other an active editing page) on a small device such as I find myself on now, so I hope it wasn't ''too much'' disruption. (If I'd have not pipelined quite so many little relevent changes, myself, I'd have checked a soon-to-be-dismissed EC cross-comparison tab with a brand new fresh edit.) Anyway: apologies, explanations and letting you know I've done all my 'big edits' (for now). And tried to leave it tidy and correct, but there are always unintended errors.

By my by-eye reckoning, the 40ft stated (compared to the probably high-5-foot-maybe-even-6-footer Cueballs) seems to include the very significant plinth/base-mount. Not sure if that's ''totally'' honest...

My favorite: "yesterday was the coldest day since November 14th". It so happens that it was a freak 62 degrees on November 14th, but the statement is still (potentially) true.
