Really? I'll have to find that next time I watch that episode! It must be very
uncomfortable sleeping in shoes :(

Wilt actually sleeps with his shoes on most of the time. The only time I can actually recall him specifically removing them at bedtime was in the pilot episode, actually. We've discussed Wilt's apparent hang-ups about his feet before, and why he doesn't like to take his shoes off. We've only seen him bare-footed ONCE, in "The Trouble With Scribbles", and while Wilt's feet are mostly human in appearance(size notwithstanding), his toes are very long, they end in those same "suction cuppy thingies" like his fingers, and he's got "divergent" big toes, which mean that his big toe isn't in line with the other toes, but down lower on his foot and sorta sticking out to the side, a bit like an ape's! Maybe he's been teased about that, and is self-concious about it.

I DID find out where Wilt's lack of appreciation for tall jokes came from, though-apparently, Michael Jordan, on whom Wilt's creator is based, hates tall jokes, and that's one of the few things that can really tick him off. Like Wilt's creator, he was a runty little kid who got picked on for being short, then he went through that tall, gangly stage, and got teased in high school for being tall and thin, and it really got to him.

I can see where he gets that from, I'm a short girl myself: 4'11...and a quarter of an inch.

Besides the pilot episode and "Who Let the Dogs In", Wilt is seen sleeping, or just waking up, in "Cookie Dough" , "Room With a Feud" and "Land of the Flea", though in "Room With a Feud", he actually was sleeping in a bed and was under a blanket, while he normally sleeps with his feet sticking out from under his former bed, now occupied by Bloo. In both "Cookie Dough" and "Land of the Flea", though, he's got his shoes on when he wakes up(or gets awakened by Bloo).

In "Cookie Dough", Wilt is seen sleeping under the bed, snoring quite loudly in fact, with his feet-shoes on-sticking out from under the bed. That is right before Bloo rudely interupts his slumber to suggest that Wilt help him steal the recipe for Madame Foster's cookies, startling Wilt and causing him to bang his head on the underside of the bed.

That's right.

Aww, I love his little sleeping habits, they're just too adorable XD In 'Cookie Dough' though, when Bloo is trying to wake him, I love that little snore he's got going on there, not his usual "*snort* Sorry sorry sorry..." but that loud snore as he breaths in and the quiet squeaky whistling as he breathes out. I don't know, I just find it cute, man.

LOL at the "snort" part. I donno, I just think that word and action is funny. XD

Wilt only seems to sound awesome in English. :D

I had to laugh at that snore! He doesn't say, "sorry, sorry" while snoring in "Cookie Dough", but he sounds more like a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle at high idle, lol! It's a real snore, the kind that Breathe-Rite commercials would love to feature! His mouth is hanging open, and although I know this isn't the most pleasant visual, if Wilt had been lying on his side instead of his back, he'd probably have been drooling on the floor! He was really in deep sleep mode there.

Weren't Wilt's legs dangling down from each side of the bed when he was sleeping on the top bunk (formerly Ed's, but now Ed had his own room)? I remember noticing that and finding it cute, and how it made sense being the footboard wouldn't have allowed his feet to stick out over the edge, at least not very comfortably. Drat, I don't remember if his shoes were on or off when he's sleeping in Ed's bunk, though...

Is it wrong for me to find Wilt's snoring adorable?:terrconf:
