Applying that level of realism to this situation seems really pointless to me.
Anyway, is anyone going to actually be watching that special tonight?

Oh right, that thing...well now that you've brought it up, I guess I will watch it.
YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.
Sure. I remembered it despite completely forgetting about the Super Bowl, after all.
Mweheheh
I'll be busy tonight, but I'm taping it.

What channel is it on? I don't get XD so if I do want to watch it I'll have to do it tomorrow.

Is anyone else watching the special right now?

I am. Some interesting stuff.
A looooot of the character quirks in the series was either based on the writers themselves or the people the writers new, and not just Alex himself and his life.
The original idea for Gideon's hair was my favorite secret.

Just caught the rerun. Nice special, and yes, Gideon's hair idea was pretty funny (if a bit too creepy even for this show).
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Can somebody summarize the high points for me? I didn't get a chance to watch it.

Well Gideon's hair was gonna keep a deformed twin brother at first (think like that guy from Total Recall).

- The Northwests' money, or at least Preston, his wife and Pacifica's, comes from the mudflap industry.
- The Lamby dance is an actual thing from the childhood of one of the other writers.
- McGucket almost had a musical number before they realized it sounded terrible.
- Bill used to be green (like the dollar bill), but they thought it didn't look as good as yellow.

I cracked up when Alex was talking about the real-life Soos. And that Time Baby supposedly doesn't have object permanence (i.e. if he's mad at you, leave the room and he'll forget you exist).![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
...Did they imply Toby Determined was suicidal?

Okay that Gideon thing sounds hilarious, but I think they would've had a hard time getting away with that.

God and Ford thought he had it bad.
A thing I hadn't heard of before no was how they liked to sneak words in scenes that had to do with either the content of the scene or the episode's full plot (rather than necessarily the myth arc as a whole). Like the word "Erase" being written in dinosaur bones in the Blind Eye episode. I'm sure everyone else knew that already, though...
Also, Dipper's real name has a "similarity" with Mabel's that Alex isn't revealing. But if it's anything like his and his own sister, it's probably that they start with the same letter.

I was fond of the theory his actual name was Kane.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
Not Kane. Mkane.
Mweheheh
I thought someone said a while ago that his name was Llamanic. I'm being serious.

I remember that. Though I assumed the writer tweeting that was being facetious.
Trust you? The only person I can trust is myself.
Just as Dipper's name has ties with the Big Dipper constellation, maybe Mabel's named that because her name rhymes with "ladel". Sorry that's the best I got.
That doesn't rhyme at all.
It rhymes with table.
It also rhymes with glabel.
It also rhymes with schmabel.
Mweheheh
Dude, we should be writing this down.

Yep. Especially in that direction.
A 15-year-old dating an 18-year-old is questionable and will result in very suspicious parents doing everything in their power to make sure their kid isn't being taken advantage of. It might get accepted if the 18-year-old is genuine enough in their intentions.
A 15-year-old dating a 12-year-old is basically babysitter molestation. It is rarely regarded as anything but child abuse.
