Hi. If I were a pirate my name would be Jethroe Huckleberry.

I've been following HomestarRunner.com since 2002.

I'm between terms and am very bored, which is why I care about whether or not the Compé is a reference to the McCafé. To clarify, I don't think it is.

J.Huckleberry: /* Compé/McCafé? */

==Compé/McCafé?==
I'm interested in other people's opinions on the entry about the Compé/McCafé coincidence. I personally think the connection between the Strong Bad's pronunciation the the McDonald's ad campaign is pretty tenuous for the following reasons:
# A similar accented pronunciation was used in TGS #11
# Every other McDonald's reference on this page is a lot more concrete. This is the only ambiguous reference to McDonald's TBC have made.
# Real-World References are generally more clever or funny. I don't think TBC would make a significant and repeated joke based on a commercial. If anything, the commercial was inspired by TGS #11.

I'd appreciate other's opinions on this, thanks!

:Well, you've apparently already read the comments [[Talk:Compy_Catalog#McDonald.27s_Reference.3F|here]], so you kind of already know the arguments that exist. We really should be having this discussion in only one place, and since it started there, I figure it should stay there. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:45, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
::Thank you for clarifying wiki etiquette. I'll go ahead and be bold here since no one reverted my edit at [[Compy Catalog]], and keep any future discussion on the other talk page. [[User:J.Huckleberry|J.Huckleberry]] 17:54, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi.

I've been following HomestarRunner.com since 2002.

I'm between terms and am very bored, which is why I care about whether or not the Compé is a reference to the McCafé. To clarify, I don't think it is.
