[edit] the book title comes from?
Excerpt taken from article;
"The novel's name," -- "comes from a key scene late in the..."
- Perhaps 'comes from a key scene' be changed to 'comes in a key scene', is it that the name of this book is actually taken from this scene, or is that a personal guess. This book's title does not have to come from this scene in the text, does a mention exist by the author that supports this, either way. Book M 08:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Drano Connection
Am I crazy to think that the Drano Hoover's wife drinks is the real "breakfast of champions", and the other is just a diversion? dclayh 17:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] superfluity
What does, "The novel also describes a fictional extinct giant sea eagle called the Bermuda Ern." add to the article? --Amanaplanacanalpanama 03:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
To show the books superfluity? ~sumguy
[edit] This article is all over the place
I just finished this book, and pulled this article up hoping to find information on themes I may have not have picked up on. Instead, it was simply a narrative of the book that is excessively elaborative of trivial details and highly lacking in structure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.214.85.60 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Wayne Hoobler
I think that as one of the major characters in the book, Wayne Hoobler need to be mentioned. I just don't know the best way to do it. Anyone wanna take a crack? -Drdisque 04:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Plot Summary
Is this plot summary from the novel or the film? In the text that I have, none of the characters say, "Make me a tiger!... make me some cereal!" It ends with "Make me young! Make me young! Make me young! etc." 67.141.211.222 03:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Goodbye Blue Monday
- Breakfast of Champions, or Goodbye Blue Monday...
Of course Vonnegut uses this in the frontleaf of the book, but I don't think this is the official title of the book. I think the official title of the book is "Breakfast of Champions". Tempshill (talk) 19:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BreakfastOfChampions(Vonnegut).jpg
Image:BreakfastOfChampions(Vonnegut).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
