* BeamMeUpScotty: Fawful is often cited as saying "I am the mustard of your doom!" This exact phrasing never appeared in any of the games and the mustard wasn't referenced in relation to himself, but to the EvilPlan he and Cackletta were carrying out. It was also part of a longer sandwich metaphor, which is often lost, making the phrase seem even more nonsensical than intended.
