Thanks Hinkle the Dink

FURTHER NOTES: Way did not work in Virginia Breakfast Monkey should not be added to the entry as there are no verifiable sources for it, and the story behind its failure, aside of Way's story. Information related to the band, the albums, and song meanings should be put in their respective entries.

Thank You, Hinkle the Dink

Breakfast Monkey

Alternative Press magazine is, I figure, as reliable a source as most Wiki pages can claim, so we might as well include the stuff about Breakfast Monkey and Gerard's Bachelor of Fine Arts. I've actually referenced scans of the article itself so people can read it themselves and decide if they're going to believe it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sepherenia (talk • contribs) 09:23, 26 September 2005.

I realize that the breakfast monkey is mentioned by way in several interviews. However, since nothing came of itI believe it should continue to be left out of the entry, until such time as someone other than Way provides sourceable information, or the cartoon actually exists properly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hinklethedink (talk • contribs) 22:29, 30 September 2005.

I apologize for continuing to resurrect the section without saying something here. For some reason, I was just not noticing that things were being said here. For what it's worth, you can watch what appears to be a pilot for the cartoon here. Maybe that link should be in the article. —HorsePunchKid→龜 06:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I am removing the Breakfast Monkey mention. Again. Until such time as the show appears in the public and it has its own reasonable wiki entry, I continue to doubt its appropriateness in this article. While I do recognize that the project was worked on (incidently, that link is to the production studio, and is, as far as I have been told, legitimate), I do not see how a mention of it from a single person warrants inclusion here. If Way's bandmate Frank wrote an earth shattering biography of Abraham Lincoln but never got it published, I would consider that book non-existant from an encyclopedic stand point. This cartoon is no different. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hinklethedink (talk • contribs) 18:29, 03 October 2005.

I'm going to add it back in, because it is an interesting fact about Gerard's past life. It is factual, verifiable, interesting, relevant, and gives insight into his past and character as a person. If you think it unbalances the article or something like that, feel free to add more information instead of removing existing information. —HorsePunchKid→龜 04:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I enjoy the fact that I used a well reasoned comment to back up my action while you used a rather meaningless list of adjectives. I will continue to revert these changes until you come up with a justification that trumps my reasoning, or until the cartoon comes out. Furthermore, I can add volumns of information, the whole sordid story about the Breakfast Monkey through first hand knowledge, but until there is a selection of sources with which someone else can confirm or deny my statements, I'd expect them to be removed just like all the other garbage that crops up in these pages.

Thanks for compromising on the article! I'm pretty happy with how it currently reads. Maybe if enough additional trivia comes up, the extra information about Breakfast Monkey could be thrown into a "Trivia" section, which are pretty common on Wikipedia. —HorsePunchKid→龜 02:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Wrong info.

Gerard Way currently lives in Queens, NY with his girlfriend. I got this information from Rollingstone magazine probally sometime in the summer of last year. The artical was his tour diary called "Bullet Proof Punk"
