*dreamy sigh* Well, the theory of Wilt being created by Mac's Mom still isn't totally tossed away. He never saw her, and Terrence only described him as "...That red guy with the one arm..." That could mean lots of things. Wait, did Ed take a picture of her? Hm. Yeah, if Wilt had 2 arms when abandoned... *is killed by envy* If someone happens to have this ep, pleeease, consider yousendit for a poor fan in Hungary, where we just got season 3 like 2 months ago!!!

Actually, when I saw Bloo creep into Terrence's room I though for sure he was going to pull the "warm water" trick. dude me too, that would have been much funnier than the shaving cream

That could mean lots of things. That's true! Because Mac DID say that his mom doesn't know he goes to Foster's so she doesn't know anything about Wilt or any of the other friends. So, I say you're theory is still possible

It's not my theory, actually. XD I shall have no official theories, since I'm hoping we'll know the truth after GWH. Someone else put it out there that Mac's Mom could've created Wilt, I was just saying that it's not disproved just yet.
I do, however, think that the thought of Wilt being like a brother/father to Mac is really cute. =3

Hmmm, assuming that Red and Bloo were cousins and Bloo and Cheese were "brothers", how would that connect Wilt and Bloo? Uncle? "Uncle Wilt! You're favorite nephew is calling!!" That would lead to some hilarious consiquences.

That could mean lots of things. Wait, did Ed take a picture of her? Hm. Oh, and Goo said "...of the US of A of America!" XDDD And though the Goo and Coco stuff was hilarious, they really didn't have the right to demand to come too. I'm glad they did, but still... You know, that same thought did pop into my head while watching this, even though I'd discounted it before. My basis for not going with Mac's mom having created Wilt was based, of course, on the notion that Mac's mom KNEW about him going to Foster's(which was bolstered by him calling her from FOSTER'S to come pick him up in "Foster's Goes To Europe"), which would have meant that she had already seen Wilt, Ed, and the whole lot. Knowing that she does NOT know about Mac's going to Foster's, though, and that she HASN'T seen Wilt there, and that she works some really long hours which would likely prevent her from just randomly running into Wilt like while shopping or something, I have to wonder. It's difficult to access her age without at least seeing her face, but she would probably be in her leate 30's-early 40's, at least, so she'd probably be in the right age group to have created Wilt, and she DID tell Mac that she once had an Imaginary Friend, but gave him/her up(in other words, ABANDONED him/her)when she got too old to have one. She would not, of course, make any connections between the "tall red guy with one arm" mentioned by her smug-faced older son and Wilt, if he was indeed HER Imaginary Friend, because, as has been pointed out, Wilt would have had two arms the last time she saw him. Plus, she thought that Terrence was talking crazy talk and lying about how the hole got in the roof! Wilt did NOT get to see her face, and Eduardo took the picture of her back, not of her face, and even so, Wilt might not have recognized her right away(ESPECIALLY from a Polaroid, and did anyone else catch the OutKast reference, when Ed was "shaking it like a Polaroid picture?"), due to the inevitable effects of age and time. Unless she were actually in her teens when she(or HER parents)decided it was time to get rid of her Imaginary Friend, instead of as a young child as she insinuated to Mac, she'd probably look very different from the last time Wilt saw HER, and her last name(whatever THAT is)would of course, be different, assuming that she'd married at least once. I may be completely out of the ballpark with this, but this might have actually been why there was so much emphasis placed on Wilt cleaning up the apartment, and repeating about how hard Mac and Terrence's mom worked to make sure they had the best possible home, and scolding Terrence for trashing it while Cheese was clinging to his face! This might have been a way of gradually introducing the concept that Wilt is actually RELATED, a brother more or less, to Mac and Terrence, and they just don't know it! It would not surprise me if, at the end of Good Wilt Hunting, he returns home to Foster's without having found the object of his quest, only to later find that his creator has been living right there in the same town that he lives in all along, and has been much closer than he ever thought! *silly censor would not let me print the word "a s s umption" and put in "I disagreeumption" so I had to come back and change it!* pitbulllady

After all she told Mac that, by his age, she didn't need her imaginary friend anymore. Also, the last name of Mac's Mom isn't necessarily the same as Mac and Terrence's. I actually like to think that she kept her maiden name because, well, she is eerily reminiscent of my own mother (who kept her name) and it just seems to fit her personality. But your point is still valid regardless, because I doubt Mac has told them anything other than his own name and there would be no reason for Wilt to think his mother's was any different.

I still like the idea of Wilt being the IF of Mac's father. I don't really think that's the case, but it would make for one hell of a plot twist.

Oh man, how did you come up with this "Is Wilt Mac's mom's old imaginary friend?"? Who started this theory? It's briliant! How do you figure Wilt is her old IF? I mean, it's an extremly entertaining thought, but really....Sure it's only a theory.
:EDIT: Wait a minute, I just now had a thought. Now I get it, Mac's mom saying "When I was 8 I diin't need my IF anymore" . And Wilt, as we figure, was most likley abandoned, THEN there's the upcoming episode Good Wilt Hunting, were we learn about Wilt's past and then...........*stands speechles in the thought*.......Boy, it takes a really creatve mind to come up with this theory! I wounder if that is really what happened to him? Hmmm................

I wounder if that is really what happened to him? Hmmm................ I cannot claim credit for orginally coming up with the theory that Wilt is actually Mac's mom's Imaginary Friend; I believe Fomalhaut did, though. I originally did not put much stock in it, since I natually a s s umed that Mac's mom knew about him visiting Bloo at Foster's, and therefore had probably seen the Friends he hung out with, including Wilt. You KNOW that she'd recognize HIM immediately upon seeing him, since it would be VERY difficult to forget an eight-foot-tall(at least), bright red anything, let alone someone as charismatic as Wilt, even if he did not first recognize HER, no matter how long they'd been apart! Therefore, it was reasonable for me to conclude that Mac's mom HAD, in fact, already met Wilt at Foster's, and to her, he was just one of the many residents there. NOW that I know that she had NOT, in fact, met him there, or been there, or may not even know the place exists, and has no idea that her son goes there everyday, that theory has new life. One of the reasons that it has gotten a new shot at life is due to the emphasis that the last episode put on Wilt's cleaning the apartment, and constantly taking up for how hard Mac and Terrence's mom works, etc. I made the comment that he sounded just like my own father there, or at least, that for ME, he came off sounding like the man of the house! I know that on some other forums, some people found Wilt's behavior in "Infernal Slumber" very puzzling and annoying, not funny at all. Perhaps it was not really MEANT to be funny, but as a clue to something that will happen in the future. It really seemed that Wilt was going beyond his normal helpfulness, for reasons maybe he himself could not have explained, but it might very well be a premonition of a future role for him in the lives of Mac and Terrence(yeah, I can't leave ole' Mullet Boy out of the loop-like him or not, he's still O'hana) and their mom. I HAVE said before that I thought that the best thing that could happen to Terrence would be for some adult, responsible male to come into his life and serve as a role model, and that Wilt would be perfect as such a role model, teaching Terrence that the way to really earn respect is by SHOWING respect, not by bullying or participating in violent activities. Terrence is not so dumb that the right person can't make a positive impression on him; believe me, I've seen worse! pitbulllady

And if that theory were true(and there's no saying it isn't...or is...), then that would prove your theory about Wilt being on his own for a while before coming to Foster's. My guess is that Mac's Mom is late thirties, and since we know Wilt is from the mid-seventies, that he is early thirties. If Mom created him at say, age four, and had to give him up at age eight...And since we saw Wilt came to Foster's two years before Frankie did(and she looked about four)...Then that gives...Uh...a few years between being abandoned and coming to Foster's. And that's all my guesswork.
My head hurts. O.<
