• E-mail — A yodeler appears at the top of the mountain and shouts "Ricola!" through a large Alphorn.

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Remarks

• Until the post-Flash site update, this and Main Page 3 were the only two main pages to have just "Homestar Runner" as the page title.
• The rain is silent. There are also no clouds when it is raining.
• The yodeler, like Homestar, does not seem to have visible arms to hold up the horn.
• The call of the eagle is actually that of a Red-tailed hawk, often used in media instead of an eagle's call because it sounds more dramatic.
• In real life, bald eagles are found only in North America.

[edit] Goofs

• The eagle flies in front of the border, but behind the "First Time Here?" button.

[edit] Inside References

• Homestar wears Strong Sad's lederhosen in the toon In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD, quite possibly the inspiration for this main page.

[edit] Real-World References

• Ricola is a brand of cough drops from Switzerland, whose commercials actually used to feature people hollering the brand name from the top of a mountain. While the Alpenhorn held by the yodeler is also a nod to the Ricola commercials, the commercial featured one yodeler to yell the brand name and another to play the horn from atop a hill.
• The page title refers to the Austrian von Trapp family of singers.

[edit] Fast Forward

• The alps scene is used as a backdrop in the show.
• A Powered by The Cheat-style background of the alps is shown in Experimental Film.
• The clothes Homestar wears reappear in original.
