Stupid to you, ya, but that doesn't mean its stupid to everyone.
Also, why bring up the possibility of Beanie coming back? Well because there is still the slightest possibility it could happen... saying you wish rainbows were made of gumdrops and public restrooms smelled like maple syrup is stupid and a pretty lousy comparison, because those two things could never feasibly happen, but Beanie coming back could in the smallest of chances actually happen, and thats why it is worth bringing up and discussing.
And why the hell would you want public restrooms to smell like maple syrup either?
