Talk:Old-Timey Ghost

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 18:43, 15 December 2005

The Ghost is also known as (to give another character in the world of 1936 HR) Eustice Pietimer, once a seemingly rich old man, now deceased. The Ghost in That A Ghost is suggested to be the ghost of Mr. Pietimer, since they dig up his grave to find it gone. --134.126.197.143 05:12, 19 Oct 2004 (MST)

Perhaps The Ghost is the 1936 (1937?) equivalent of The Goblin. Granted the only similarity is that he is an apparition that shows up in a halloween episode. Maybe I am just too hellbent on finding regular world counterparts for all the characters in the alternate h*r universes. --138.236.245.228 01:46, 20 Oct 2004 (MST)

Actually, I was thinking the same thing. --Clever Ben 21:34, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)

I don't think the ghost is the goblin. Like 138.236.245.228 said, the only simularity is that they are both in halloween cartoons. I think it's just a misc. character thrown into the plot, probably never going to be seen again. — _talk Bubsty _edits 21:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Opening sentence

I changed the awkward opening sentence from

The Ghost was a ghost that was in town in the toon That A Ghost

to

The Ghost appeared in the "1937" toon That A Ghost.

Joshua reverted it with the comment Those are quoting The Homestar Runner. Perhaps that is so, but I cannot find such a quotation. Is it a paraphrase? Either way, if it truly is a quotation, then it should look like a quotation. Otherwise, out of context, it just looks like bad writing.

Please point me to the actual quotation and I'll try to propose some alternatives.
