Who is Lance from the title text, throbbing..., is it Lance Armstrong? Sounds odd.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:06, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

: Very good question. I don't know. In any case, wetriffs.com died less than 3 months ago. What a shame. --[[User:Quicksilver|Quicksilver]] ([[User talk:Quicksilver|talk]]) 21:34, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

::It being Lance Armstrong seems like a stretch to me, but a lance is a kind of spear, and spears are reasonably phallic, so there you go. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] ([[User talk:Alex|talk]]) 13:51, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

:::I'm sorry, but the Rule 34 isn't about gays. The title text is more about shocking youngsters. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:19, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 
::::When did I say Rule 34 is "about gays"?? It's just a spelling bee joke about penises. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] ([[User talk:Alex|talk]]) 09:18, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 
::::I reverted your edit 'cuz it makes no sense to me whatsoever. If you want, please explain at my talk page. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] ([[User talk:Alex|talk]]) 09:20, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 
::::Wait, no, I've figured it out: It's {{w|spelling bee}} porn, so it's rule 34. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] ([[User talk:Alex|talk]]) 10:11, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 
:::::Sorry again, and I'm not saying you are wrong. But the explain should be also understood by non US citizens. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 21:28, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 
::::::To clarify: No, Rule 34 isn't about gays, but this particular invocation of it IS. The title text is expanding on the second panel, one of the examples Cueball gives is "homoerotic spelling bees", the example specifies it's homoerotic, and thus homosexual. Furthermore, at least in North America, "Lance" is thought of as a stereotypically common name for a homosexual man, such that some people, upon hearing the name Lance, might simply assume he's a gay man, making this name a perfect choice for the title text in order to increase the connection to Cueball's example. It seems to me that the explanation is missing connecting the title text to Cueball's example in the second panel. - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.160|108.162.218.160]] 13:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 
 
 
Know this comic has been out for years, and not commented on in over a year, but first time seeing this. I actually knew someone named Lance that would have immediately registered that domain if he thought it would work at making money. When I knew him he already had about a dozen domains of Celebrity Fake-Porn that he made his living off of. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.231|162.158.62.231]] 19:21, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 
 
 
I can't believe nobody made a g-string joke yet. Actually, I'm disappointed Randall didn't make one in the first place. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.91.251|162.158.91.251]] 11:44, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
So, we had wetriffs.com and spelling bees, but did anyone ever see any porn set atop storm-chasing vans?  [[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.216|162.158.75.216]] 11:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
