    FUCK! Good catch! I totally forgot that Mark Wahlberg’s character was only inspired by John Holmes. You absolutely win.

    I’d offer you a victory prize such as my last shred of dignity, but I think I lost that in my previous comment.

    Damn, you’re good, great job!

      I wasn’t trying to win. I’m sorry for sucking the fun out of the joke getting hung up on details. I didn’t know Dirk Digler was based on John Holmes, so thanks for teaching me something new!

        You didn’t suck the fun out of anything. I don’t always agree with you, but I always enjoy our discourse.

        And if we’ve learned anything, the correct word is “hanged.” Only John Holmes and @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world’s dad are hung. And any prosthesis, obviously.
