* [[Take That]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130401081250/http://plusev.keenspot.com/d/20080715.html Is Gold Coast really that shitty? No idea.]
* [[Theme Naming]]: Corbin's wife's name is Violet. Her first daughter is Scarlett, which is a shade of red. [[Captain Obvious|And violet is a mixture of red and blue.]] So it was logical to give their second daughter a name that's a shade of blue, and thus she was named... Ultramarine!

* [[Writers Cannot Do Math]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20121021191901/http://plusev.keenspot.com/d/20060906.html Play poker too long, and you'll forget how to count to twenty. Even if you were a mathematician before.]
