Fun Facts

* At the end of the clip, the sheep in the background continues chewing, even though the camera is set on "PAUSE."

I think that's just looping, but if other people think it's a fun fact...--Hysterical Woman 17:36, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

Chew, chew, chew at will, Sheep!Even though it's over!--Gir007 20:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Marzipan's Dad?

According to the really old characters page, in the museum, it states that the KOT is actually Marzipan's dad.

Yes, we know. It's one of the most hotly debated things on the Wiki. Personally, I don't see any reason to doubt it, but some would argue that it's not true. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

We don't think it's true BECAUSE THE BROTHER CHAPS SAID IT WASN'T. They decided against it.

Exactly!!! Why do people keep on saying she is when TBC said it was a scrapped idea! 20X6 GEM

If that was true, Marzipan would be the princess of town, and Homestar would (if they ever got married) become the prince of town. Weird, huh? Stramstar Hummer

It would also mean that when the king of town died, homstar would be king of town. Creepy... — _talk Bubsty _edits 21:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Not necessarily. For example, the husband of the queen of England is not king unless he is already has a claim to the throne in his own right; when he does not, he is a prince consort. — It's dot com 22:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I suppose it all depends on the laws of succession in Free Country USA. Then again, the fact that nobody seems to recognize the KOT's reign as legit means that it probably doesn't matter anyway. Heimstern Läufer 22:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

How can we be sure that the King of Town played by Homestar is the same King? It might well have taken place centuries ago, under the reign of a different King. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

King of Prussia?

I found this on the Wikipedia:King of Prussia, Pennsylvania page. Note the line "Residents often refer to King of Prussia in print as "KoP", and in conversation as "K.O.P." I couldn't help but think about the KOT when I read that. Is this notable for the article? - Dr Haggis - Talk 13:12, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)

In the since that it has hardly anythign to do with a king of a town, it only has a resemblance to the abreviated "K.O.T", not realy, interesting trivial idea though. Thechamp 21:45, 7 Aug 2005 (UT

I think it deserves some mention. We have mentioned interesting coincedences before. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 17:25, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

The people I know from that area (they don't live in King of Prussia, but nearby) sometimes refer to the King of Prussia Mall as "Kay-Oh-Pee", but they don't usually call it that. -- Tom 17:40, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Eating Due To Death?

In the old books, he is the Prince of town. Becoming the King would mean his father died. THis might explain why he eats so much. Some people use 'comfort food' as a way to escape their problems. Perhaps the K.O.T. is one of these people. Stramstar Hummer

I think its just that the king is really hungry. I doubt it has anything to do with his father. --— _talk Bubsty _edits 17:22, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Bubsty. In the Homestar Universe, does anything really apply to real life? -The Coachsmith

I think the king is just one of those people who isn't really picky about food-He just likes food altogether--Gir007 02:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Zaak

How the king of town got fat?

How do you think the king of town got fat in the first place?

I think he, as the the price of town, ate the entire lifetime supply of fishsticks in flashback

You know, Nikolce, you just might be on to something there... ;) — It's dot com 06:31, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

KOT Website

For one day sometime between suggest 2002 and June 2003, the Homestarrunner website was replaced by a KOT minisite. There was a game which included Strongbad having to fling pies at the KOT while he fired cannons. I don't know what day it was, and that media has not been posted since, but it definitely happened. Anyone else remember this?

Yes. —FireBird|Talk 21:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
