I've always had a place in my heart for the monkey island games. Now... the big question on my mind, in monkey island 2 on Dinkey Island, there's a phone that you can call the Lucas Arts Hint Line with.
One of the things you can ask is about a "stump joke" from monkey island 1. I've played MI1 several times, as has one of my friends, but we have found no such joke. We've even played the game specifically to find it.
I figured before I tried to contact Ron over it (as I'm almost certain he wouldn't answer) I thought I'd try to get answers from another source. This is something that's been bugging me for a while, and the recent interview has made it resurface in my thoughts.
Thanks,
Fuzzy
