Talk:Jingle bell

I think it gives a random-esque effect... --Manss2001 04:45, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• I'm a little surprised about the Hippy Stench-effect, but the bell giving one of the 3 cookie-buffs makes sense. (As does the Coal paperweight‎ giving the corresponding cookie-buffs.) --Yatsufusa 05:13, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

If you look at Effects by number you'll see that hippy stench is directly before the three cookie buffs, so probably a typo in the code. --Starwed 06:03, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Jick is screwing with the wiki's item template again. The description now has

Type: usable (once per day)

in it. --Flargen 00:49, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

   This has been fixed. Thanks for the report!
   > Using jingle bell yields:

You shake the bell. It's tintinnabulation warms your heart and delights your ears.
Hippy Stench You acquire an effect: Hippy Stench
(duration: 10 Adventures)

 Should that be "Yuletide Sappiness"(Effect number 78) instead of "Hippy Stench"(Effect number 75)????

So there should be no Hippy Stench now.--Peter50216 02:14, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

The Reference

I'd say this is hands down polar express. even it was a crap movie. Not being able to hear a bell (because childhood/innocence is lost) is an exact plot device in the movie. What else would it be? Argus 09:11, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

...almost twenty years before it was ever a film, The Polar Express was a children's Christmas book. The final lines of the story were copied for the film: "At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe." Point being: if it's a reference, I think it should be treated as if it is to the book, not the film.--Theboywhowasthemanonthemoon 15:09, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Definitely a reference to the book if anything, but, I still think it's a stretch. I mean, we're going to be able to hear the bell every day for ever.--P4n1q 03:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

My two year old watches the movie in question at least once a day. I don't see how there's any question about the reference. Filmore 13:38, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure tintinnabulation is spelled correctly... Ryo 15:30, 9 January 2011

Did anyone say it wasn't? There is a misuse of its/it's marked [sic]... --timrem 22:41, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh. Well, grammatically, both "its" and "it's" are correct in the same places, so I figured someone thought that tintinnabulation was spelled wrong. Ryo 11:25, 11 January 2011

Yeah, it's the "it's" which is wrong and has the [sic]. "It's" is not interchangable with its -- the former is a contraction for it is, while the second is the possessive of it. --Lordebon 20:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Not necessarily. But whatever. Ryo 6:11, 22 January 2011 (MST)
