Wilt - Page 85 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

His handwriting is good, but his spelling is not!
What he thought was ectoplastic goo was really Bloo's snot!

He's as bright as Bulby, he's many things in one,
We can tell this by seeing the things he's done.

He plays basketball, and is quite helpful too,
He can be confusing, who knows next what he'll do!

Ok I'll shut up now. XD

The first line was from the episode "Hiccy Burp", at the part where Wilt screws up his lines (again).

Wilt just does what most people do when writing something in a hurry; he spells more or less phonetically and shortens words as much as possible so they'll take up less space. It's like someone writing "thru" instead of "through", or "stplght" instead of "stop light", or using numerals to replace words like "to" or "for". I know I do this when I have to write down something rather quickly, like when I'm taking driving directions, or when whatever paper I have to write on isn't very big(like an index card, for example). Besides, it's kinda tough to tell exactly what Wilt had written on that card, since by the time it was shown, he'd already used it to wipe sweat off his face and the words were really smeary and messed up!

It's like text messaging as well, and to be honest, I think that if Wilt knows what the words Figuratively and Spacially (sp?) means, I think he'd be able to spell it as well (unlike me).

I was thinking the other day about his writing and how he writes, and I remember concidering whether or not he was right or left handed before IT happened. I assume that he has always written with his right hand, but maybe when he lost his arm, he had to train his other arm to write. He DID have thirty years before the episode 'Crime after Crime' after all.

That's a very distinct possibility! Wilt could very well have been a "southpaw" prior to losing his left arm, and was forced to adapt to becoming a "righty". I'm right-handed, but about 15 years ago, I suffered an accident that resulted in two fingers on my right hand being severed, and having to be surgically re-attached, so I was without the use of that hand for many long months. I had to write AND draw with my left hand, so it is possible to adapt.

I've always been a lefty, and I'll tell you RIGHT NOW, it doesn't mean I'm "wrong" as people could claim us leftys as.

When I draw on paper, I use the left arm. On the computer, I use my right, since the mouse is right handed. So my art is done with both arms.

Having to relearn PENMANSHIP would be no fun, since you all had a hard time doing so the first time! XD

80 to 472...What did Wilt mean by "472"? The amount of baskets HE made total at Foster's/all his life, or in a row? (which seems pretty impossible, even for Wilt) XD

When Wilt tells Jordan that the score is eighty to four hundred and seventy two, he means during that game, not through out their lives. It is probably impossible to score so may baskets in one game, but I think the Foster's crew were just emphasising how good Wilt really is; Bloomin' Fantabulous!

I think Wilt was just exaggerating to be funny. He has this rather "dry", and even slightly sarcastic sense of humor at times, that a lot of people just don't get, just like when he says afterwards, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll catch up eventually!" He's basically "messin' with" Jordan in a good-natured way.
