Well, now, the socks and shoes I can understand him selling or pawning, or donating to charity. Still, though, he DID need the money, since train and/or bus fares are not cheap(especially with today's gasoline and diesel prices), so unless Wilt had some money saved up somewhere, he'd need to sell something of value to raise the cash. He HAS mentioned having money, or rather, buying stuff for others, so either he gets some sort of government assistance(unlikely)or he actually does get some sort of allowance for the work he does around the house.

But the toothbrush? Uh, no...no one but the most rabid Wilt fangirl is gonna shell out money for a possibly-used toothbrush! You cannot sell a toothbrush if the package has even been opened a bit, let alone if the brush has been completely taken out of the original packaging. You cannot take someone's word that they've never used it, not with all the sickos we have in our society. I would have to assume that Wilt discarded it, figuring he'd never be returning to use it again. The brush WAS in the toothbrush stand, so it had been taken out of the package.

Okay maybe the selling the toothbrush thing was stretching it just a little...unless it turned out it was some kind of rare limited eddition collectible brush, that Wilt sold to the towns Dental museum in order to be put on display in their "brushes of the world" exhibit.

that reminds me, did anyone else notice that jordan pulled wilt out of the way, but then, when the game was over, he was lying on the ground?

[Thornwhistle]

That's because Wilt fell down.

[CCMars]

I think he may have stumbled over as he was being pulled by Jordan.

Man, WHY didn't I notice THIS? Along with that if-you-blinked-you-missed-it cameo by Brad Bird, there was another celeb cameo, more obvious this time, and I totally let it slip past me until someone on another forum pointed it out! The burly biker dude who created Fluffer Nutters(pink squirrel)is none other than Paul Touttle, the dad on "American Chopper", who runs Orange County Choppers!

You're not alone, I totally caught that one too, when I saw that brief scene, I too was saying to myself hey it's the dude from American Chopper.

[Medikor]

So that WAS the dad from American Chopper? Good, now I know I'm not seeing things.
I really enjoyed this movie and I am VERY pleased to see that Frankie had such a large role in it. It was geniouse to have her fighting frustration on three fronts. And Edwardo's creator, Nina, was a great character in her own right. Great job Craig and Lauren!

You know what? That's who I thought it was, but I had kind of forgotten about it until you brought it up! That's just hilarious! XD

A copy of the disk, identical to the ones CG and I bought, just popped up on eBay:

This one doesn't appear to include the poster or Bloo plush, so it may end up being less expensive than the earlier disks.
