"Cold Ones Light" poster

In the background of when Homestar opens the meeting, there's a poster for "Cold Ones Light." The logo looks remarkably familiar but I can't put my thumb of what brand it's suppose to be parodying. Anyone know? I think it should go in the "Real World References" part, perhaps. --Champthom 07:51, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Reminds me of the Old Style beer logo, but that's a Wisconsin/Chicago area brew, so I'm not sure that TBC would be familiar with it. Trey56 08:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

On the other hand, it is very close — it has the red and blue diagonal background on a shield, a similar font, and a red ribbon coming from the bottom. I think this is too similar to be a coincidence, so I'm gonna add it. Trey56 08:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I personally think it's just a coincidence, but I don't mind leaving it for the time being; at least until further discussion is made regarding it. 0rion 13:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Gallery of Helmets

Should there be a gallery of the helmets the Brothers are wearing?— Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 08:51, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Loading, Friend

Is there any reason why the loading screen for this toon is "loading, friend,". If there is, please post it here. Homestar-Winner (talk) 11:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

• Probably because this toon is about a type of Brotherhood. 0rion 13:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

The Pants Lawsuit

I have severe doubts about that reference. For one, the dry cleaners lost his lucky pants, Bubs just can't fit in them. And for two, The Brothers Chaps very rarely make references to current news stories, one so innocuous as this one wouldn't be a prime candidate for an exception. We're really stretching it here.

I agree with your skepticism; here's the fact as I removed it, in case people disagree. Trey56 12:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Bubs's remark about being in a bad mood because he hasn't been able to fit his lucky pants might be a reference to a news story about a Washington DC Judge who sued a dry cleaner for $54 million dollars for losing his 'lucky' pants. The case was thrown out June 25, 2007 - one day before this toon was posted.

doodoo

The transcript currently says that Strong Bad says "that's horse pocky, you fools!" I'm 99.9% sure that it's actually "horse pucky", which is semi-obscure slang for horse poop, aka a variation on bullsh-t. Not only does this make more sense than "horse pocky", but one of the characters on M*A*S*H used to say it, and references to 70s/80s sitcoms are pretty standard on this site. - Ugliness Man 13:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. It should be changed. 0rion 13:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Also agreed; I changed it to "horse puckey". Trey56 13:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

BUBRUB!

Remember that news broadcast about the "whistle tips"? It's on YouTube. The guy's name on the news is Bubb Rubb. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws and the ointment is only named after Bubs himself, but when he held it up and I read the label, I immediately thought, "The whistles go whooooo!" William 14:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

-I don't think so. Rubs and ointments are a common theme through the Homestar Runner series, given that 'Bub(s)' rhymes with 'rub', I don't think any further explanation is needed. 194.80.32.10 14:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I'm willing to allow it, because it is a fairly well-known meme. It might be a coincidence, but I think it's fairly likely that it's not. I'd leave the fact, but make sure it says that it could be a reference rather than it is a reference. 0rion 17:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Coldson like Molson?

Could the Coldson Lite can be a reference to Molson beer?
