"When Uncle Jimbo sees the deer, he says, "looks like a .46-gauge," then he is seen with a rocket launcher. The shotgun gauge system works such that smaller numbers describe larger barrels, so a .46-gauge would actually be very small."

Ironically, this is a firearms nitpick that is incorrect. You don't use the decimal point when using the gauge system. It's "12 gauge," not ".12 gauge." The decimal point is only used to describe caliber in fractions of an inch (in other words, you don't use it with the metric system (9mm, not .9mm), either). I will edit. The article is otherwise correct (smaller number means bigger bore).

In every airing of this episode I've seen, Scuzzlebutt's leg is Patrick Duffy, but in "Flashbacks" it's Brett Munsenburger. I don't recall his leg ever being Tom Wopat. -User:SaraJaye, 19:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge to the main list?

Okay, sure this episode is one of the most ancient of all South Park episodes, but still, I question its notability. In the first place, it defies wikipedia's episode-article policies for plot, as the plot is what it is mostly contrived of. In the second place, what little else makes up the episode article is just plain trivia like pop-culture references and Kenny's death for that episode. I personally don't consider pop-culture references to be trivia, but when it's only one or two, that hardly qualifies as anything. I'm not saying "delete this whole article; it's just a useless waste of space", I'm saying "Until and unless this episode ever becomes notable enough to have an article, redirect this page to the main list of South Park episodes, and then include a brief summary of it there. If you like, also include the pop-culture references and Kenny's death there." That's what I'm saying. Please read this through carefully and considerately before replying. Thank you.
