I'm telling you, Hamlet is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day and he was buying cases of Redbull and adult diapers. I asked what the diapers were for, and he said, "they help contain my full power so I don't completely shit on these kids" and then he bhopped out the door.

looking at the talk page, it looks like the article was put up for deletion twice in 2007

somebody didn't like this article. Probably thought it was too "silly" for Wikipedia

A petard is a pole-arm/lance/spear--not an explosion. Hoisted on your own petard means stabbed with your own weapon.

I think this is playing fast and loose with the concept frankly

Does it still count as rocket-jumping if you die in the process?

I can't believe I didn't realize what petard *was.* That's *hilarious.*

It's also wordplay: a literal translation means "fart", and Shakespeare absolutely knew this, so it can also be interpreted as "farting so hard you rocket yourself up in the air"

forget this being a stretch--bomb jumping and 'hoist by one's own petard' are quite literally two OPPOSING concepts
