Talk:2232: Hotel Room Party

Is the "aa" in the hovertext intentional? 172.68.132.233 17:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't think so Duraludon (talk) 17:34, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Ii agree it's probably aa typo. -boB (talk) 18:03, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

The "aa" typo has been fixed at xkcd.com 172.68.34.154 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

And someone has fixed it here also --Kynde (talk) 14:33, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Should we rename Ponytail to Katie? IIRC she has been named such in several comicx 172.68.54.112 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

No we should not! Can you list all these other comics? I cannot remember any? Also it could be Blondie or Megan he names. Megan is our name here on explain xkcd not Randall's. --Kynde (talk) 14:33, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Just looked up. The name Katie has only been used in two other comics and there it was an unseen character that was named Katie! --Kynde (talk) 10:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

What I've been able to find online suggests that the Tailhook scandal of 1991 did not involve the removal of a wall between hotel rooms with a chainsaw - that happened at a previous Tailhook convention rather than the 1991 convention marred by the sexual assault scandal. I think it's improper to say this was associated with the Tailhook scandal of 1991. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 14:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Names like "Ponytail," "Megan," ,"Cueball" "White/Black Hat Guy" etc. date back long before explainxkcd. They were generated in the XKCD forum pages -- I'm not sure how many existed prior to the OneTrueThread. Cellocgw (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Did anyone else mentally follow "Did I do a good job?" with "Do I get to come home?" Mathmannix (talk) 18:18, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Uhh, can someone say the hovertext? I’m on a Mobile device. 162.158.123.29 21:36, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Anonymize

Cueball refers to Mike and Katie by name, but "you" for the cleaning services. Does that mean anything? 172.70.135.32 19:46, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Bumpf

When he says you there are probably among those he points to. --Kynde (talk) 10:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Why is the TVTropes link completely blacked out? 99.229.27.24 02:30, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

I know that it's been 'dark-mode' adapted/made more compatible, recently. I hadn't noticed (because I'd not seen a page with a TVTropes link-template in it, until you pointed it out here), but it's possible that it was over-optimised fr dark-mode in a way that made it 'wrong' under default/light-mode.

If it's only this comic's page, then there may be some other bad interaction, but I'm going to guess it's not just that. (Previewing this page, it's wrong. And I doubt the same peculiar-to-2232:_Hotel Room setting is also there in this raw Talk page as well... Unless it's something that got <include>ed from here. But obviously this can be tested as well.) 81.179.200.82 21:11, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

It wasn't just this page - I noticed it on others. Someone was monkeying about with it, presumably as part of the wider restyling that's going on at the moment. It's gone to lighter highlight now.82.13.184.33 08:14, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Yup, fixed. FaviFake (talk) 08:44, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
