	There is a [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Merge_Cueball_.26_Rob\|community portal discussion]] of what to call Cueball and what to do in case with more than one Cueball. I have added this comic to the new Category:Multiple Cueballs. Since there is really only one Cueball that "talks" I think it is relevant to keep him listed as Cueball.

 :Yes I really took a hit here. At some point I could have been one of the guys who bored Randall with the quotes. But if you think something is funny, then to hell with why it is funny. I think the movie is also funny after ten viewings. So it doesn't have to be surprising to be fun. But I am all for surreal humor though. If I ever get together with like minded people I would not stop quoting the movie again.

-:I'm a fan of surrealist humour. But, it's very difficult to achieve (see joke about death above). The telling and retelling of these stories is a tribute to their creators by those who appreciate but, probably, can't create such works. Still, an overdose of fanboy/girl enthusiasm can sometimes cause a headache. If you know such a person, be kind to them. Get them something nice. Perhaps, a lovely shrubbery. --[[User:David.poole.9000|DP9000]] ([[User talk:David.poole.9000|talk]]) 03:38, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
+:Effective surreal humour is very difficult to achieve (see joke about death above). As much can be said for any art. However, no one is surprised when the fans of a surrealist painter like Dali revisit a painting, time and again. This, despite the fact that only once do you get the impact of seeing a surreal painting for the first time. As for the Monty Python fans, they aren't quoting "with no context." Firstly, the quotes are a shibboleth which implicitly grant the speaker entrance into the club of surreal humour fans. And secondly, it's an explicit sharing of the joy these comedy routines have brought people. It may not be as creative as inventing original material but, for most people who aren't Terry Gilliam, it's as close as they can get. Still, an overdose of fanboy/girl enthusiasm can sometimes cause a headache. If you know such a person, be kind to them. Get them something nice.

 People are always asking my why I spend so much time quoting Monty Python, but I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!  It's the meaning of life, Bruce.  My mother just says "He's a very naughty boy!", but that might just be because I dress in women's clothing and hang around in bars.  No, no, no, sorry, it's all getting too silly now.  My brain hurts, and now for something completely different.  It's...
