Sightings

Homestar is slowly taking over the world. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the sightings we've seen so far. If you have any that aren't here, please add them. If you have a picture for a sighting that does not have one already, please feel free to load it up.

Of course, we politely ask that you do not hotlink to images, especially ones that do not belong to you. Just a simple link to the image will do. Also, this will insure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

RADIO

Quizno's and Homestar on NPR

On March 9th, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the nation. You can find the radio segment Here. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features the ((StrongBadEmail/kind of cool|Strong Bad Email kind of cool)), as well as the email ((StrongBadEmail/different town|different town)). It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end. Of note: a kid, Simon, calls at 12:20 and asks about ((The Brothers Chaps)). Sounds like these guys could have used a visit to the ((HomestarRunnerWiki))...

Before their second set started, they were doing the thing at the end of the Theme Park where Homestar is on the Strongbadian Riverboat Superfun.. ride. It sounded just like Strongbad! I didn't realize until it was over that it was from H*R but the part I know they did was "Please keep your arms legs and valuables inside the vehicle at all times".
