More on The Wotch

Thanks to this website, I discovered The Wotch. I noticed that the cheerleaders (only AFTER they become cheerleaders - you'll understand why I make that point if you read it) have "TG" on their shirts, and one of them has Cheerleader's pigtails. You guys wanna call it a reference or a coincidence? --Jay 22:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

Well, the name of their school is Tandy Gardens High, and according to their FAQ, the writers chose the initials TG for transgender. I'd say it's just a coincidence. (Neat little comic, though!) -- FortyTwo 22:58, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

Oh. Well, I guess I didn't know the school's name. Still, they DID make a clear H*R reference in another comic (which is sorta how I discovered its existence in the first place - see the Sighting article page.) --Jay 23:03, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

Possible "Dominic Deegan" reference?

I caught this link from another web-comic I read and I was reading through the archives when I stumbled across this comic. It looks like the back of Strong Bad's head, kinda, but the line the character says is DEFINITELY something Strong Bad would say. Can anyone confirm or deny that this is a HSR reference?

Oh! I forgot all about that DomDeeg comic! (Seen it before.) Yes, it was agreed upon by me and one of my online contacts that the comic in question does indeed include a Strong Bad cameo. --Jay 11:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

Small question

Is the word/exclamation "huzzah!" directly linked to Homestar Runner or is it something generally used? Because I've spotted it in some game.

"Huzzah" is an exclamation used back in the old days in England, and possibly elsewhere. So no, it's not technically a sighting. --Hagurumon

Ok. Nah.. I saw it in Paper Mario 2, and I wondered....

The "buffy" link is broken. --JD

Cheat

I'm not sure, but the Cheat section looks like it's been defaced. -User:oddtodd

One Ring To Rule Them All 2

This belongs in the Discussion section:

• no, i belive that music is "the Entertainer" a Rag time jazz song from the early 1890's by Scott Joplin.

No idea who wrote it, but it's about the background music in the middle of "One Ring To Rule Them All 2." (moved by oddtodd 21:43, 19 Nov 2004 (MST))

I wrote it - Futuramaooy

Enough with the Burnination "sightings"

Folks, please consider what refers to what.

Is it possible that TBC's "Burnination" refers to videogames that pre-date H*R? I mean, it can't be the other way around. Seriously: How could Final Fantasy 1 and 2 refer to H*R? Those go back to the late 1980s. beanluc 13:15, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)

Answer: It's the remakes. The line was added in to the new version on Game Boy Advance. Note that it says "Dawn of Souls". -Tom H.

• Oh, I see. My bad beanluc

Regular Chat

Holy crap! I'm like, an hour away from Hershey Park! I'm totally going there sometime now! Are they still doing the HR face paintings?

Cruxshadows Cd

On A Cd From Darkwave Band Cruxshadows (pronunces Croo-shadows) the thank you in the back says homestar runner ill try to scan a pic later

Possible Reference?

Just tell me, is "heart of a lion" a common phrase, because Ryan Seacrest from American Idol just said it a few minutes ago. --205.188.116.197

It's been a common phrase for centuries. See Richard the Lionheart. -- FortyTwo 19:19, 1 Feb 2005 (MST)

Table of Contents

In my opinion, it's getting too big and should be removed. --Gafaddict 19:42, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

This Website Made a Reference!

Do we really need all sightings of the form "this webcomic / blog / whatever made a Homestar Runner reference"? It isn't very interesting to list every two-bit webcomic writer who sticks "burnination" in their comic. Aurora Szalinski 21:14, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

I agree. Although the extremely popular sites (Such as Yahoo, Google, Maddox, etc.) should stay. --radiodj19 12:01, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

Trim

This page really needs to be trimmed. It's getting way too long. I believe we should go through and remove all the minor HSR sightings and anything that could possibly be a stretch, leaving only major sightings (for example, Trogdor on Buffy, Asplode mentioned on Google blog, etc.). Any other comments on this? —Kilroy/_talk[[]] 12:05, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

Frankly, I'd love it if we could just clear 'em out to a subpage, or split it up with those... why exactly were we fiercely against those again? --Shadow Hog 12:12, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

That's what I was thinking when I made the post in the header above ^^^ (This Website Made a Reference!) There's just too many tiny, minor things here. Aurora Szalinski 12:18, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

I agree that this page needs an overhaul, but I'm a little choked that the Smax ref got cut. That comic is fairly major (it is Alan Moore after all) and it is rife with references. I would like to see this added back at some point. - Dr Haggis - Talk 15:19, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

Boo! Bad deletion. I know it was crowded, but you got rid of a few good ones. Like that Fosters one I thought was hilarious. I liked it better before. Much better. I'm thinkin' it might be better if we just split the original version of this page up into several pages. --Joshua 16:16, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

I've restored everything that was removed. I think the discussion needs to be completed before someone (who I notice wasn't even part of the discussion) removes stuff. -- Tom 17:33, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

I'm glad that all the references were restored. A lot of the deletion seemed arbitrary to me. I was thinking, maybe we could have a system for Sightings similar to the Fun Facts system? Then we could vote on which to keep and which to toss. Aurora Szalinski 18:17, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

Eep. I think we should avoid anything like the STUFF thing. Discussion pages are where it's at. Or where it should be? -- Tom 11:42, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

Okay, I just removed the cleanup notice at the top of the page, since it seems to be encouraging people to remove references willy-nilly (this is the second instance, unless they were the same person). I think we should come to a consensus as to how the article should be cleaned up before putting up a cleanup notice. Aurora Szalinski 14:41, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think we should have the main catagories, and make them links into that section like:

Television

Games|Games

ect

and stuff like that, it'll shorten the page and make it easier to see some "ddouble sightings" - Futuramaooy--144.137.169.213 01:44, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Basic Sightings

I saw a guy at the YMCA a few weeks back and he was wearing a star shirt. Could it be? unknown 3/21/05 12:00

Could it be what? You trying to be funny? Or you mocking this article? -- Tom 12:18, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

"unknown" note

Ok, look guys, I'm sorry I crapped up the sightings page. I might be able to save it. I saved the page before I edited it, like I always do. I think I can copy everything on that page I saved and paste it over the text I crapped up. It's risky, but it's worth a shot. unknown 3/22/05 10:01

It has already been reverted. Thanks. -- Tom 12:18, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)
