Presidential Emergency Facility
[edit]... that "Cartwheel" was the codename of a Presidential Emergency Facility in Fort Reno Park?

- I would like to suggest an April Fools Day hook for this nom:
- ALT1: ... that President Obama is deprived of a cannonball, cowpuncher, and corkscrew, but retains his crown and crystal palace? Gatoclass (talk) 11:13, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- Endorse ALT1 as per Gatoclass. LavaBaron (talk) 16:43, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Date and length fine. AGF on offline hook source. I have made a minor alteration to include palace after crystal simply because it would then draw in people to the grandeur of "King Obama" as well as referencing the English football club of the same name. QPQ done no close para. GTG for AFD. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:53, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Endorse ALT1 as per Gatoclass. LavaBaron (talk) 16:43, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- I thought the change from "crystal" to "palace" was good, because "crown and palace" is more intriguing than "crown and crystal". However, I think the phrase "crown and crystal palace" detracts from the mystery of the hook because it then suggests a collection of glass or crystal ornaments instead of an actual crown and palace. So I'm adding the following alt:
- ALT2: ... that President Obama is deprived of a cannonball, cowpuncher, and corkscrew, but retains his crown and palace? Gatoclass (talk) 09:12, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Note to set builder: ALT2 is just a slight variation of ALT1 and thus doesn't need a separate approval. Gatoclass (talk) 09:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
