- Oops. Looks like we got two images. Which one should we choose? I uploaded mine one minute before Techgeekmbg. --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 05:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The bodyguard
Looks exactly like Olympic Man from issue 10. Hagurumon 06:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yup — that's what I put in the transcript. The blurred words on his shirt read "Olympic Man".

Hotel balcony dangling reference
So, right now the following two real-world references are both in the article:
- The Olympic Guy dangling The Ugly One from a hotel balcony is a reference to a widely-publicized event in 2002, when Michael Jackson dangled his son from a hotel balcony;
- Dangling The Ugly One over the balcony is also a reference to Vanilla Ice's claim that rap record producer Marion "Suge" Knight hung him up upside down on a hotel balcony in order to get Vanilla Ice to turn over his royalties. This relates to the rapper Peacey P shown earlier in the episode.
They can't both be true. When I first watched the toon, I thought of the Michael Jackson incident, but now that I think about it, the Vanilla Ice one makes sense. First, it fits with the rapper theme (Peacey P), and second, Olympic Man dangles The Ugly One by her ankles (Michael Jackson held his baby by the torso). Any thoughts?

- Hm. I have to agree. I thought of Michael Jackson when I first watched the toon, too, but the Vanilla Ice thing, while I'd never heard of it beforehand, makes more sense in context. It's not quite TTATOT, and warrants mention, but... If I had to choose, I'd say go with the latter of the two. -YK

I don't know where to post this, cuz I'm editing on Wii and it won't let me start a new row. Peacy P's name must be a reference to Eazy-E of N.W.A, right? Marvelrulez 09:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, it's more of a reference to "Doggy Dog" (as in "Snoop Doggy Dog"), which is whom Peacy P is parodying. – The Chort 09:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
goo goo is wah wah?
"Goo goo is ga-ga. Wah wah is ga-ga. Are all goo goos wah wahs?"
Algebraically, this is: "A = B, C = B, does A = C?"
Being that algebra is a popular thing to test for in the SAT's I thought I'd at least bring it up. Don't know if it's worth mentioning on the page though.--69.243.221.87 08:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's not quite what that corresponds to (it's not an algebraic statement; it's a logical grouping statement) but, yeah, that it what they're talking about. Like you, I doubt it merits inclusion on the page. --Senorial Jay (Convolutions) 09:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Eau de toilette
Regarding the reference to the French "Toilet water" is it worth putting that this is only the literal translation, with the actual product being Cologne? Eg, Eau de toilette is French for Cologne, literally "Toilet water"
woah. geuss it's been a while...
I think it's been entirely to long since the last TGS! I think that this might be the best teen gurl squad YET!
