Appearances

• Email 12:00 (Easter egg) — One of the VHS tapes that shows up by clicking "Eject" is labeled "M*A*SH* final episode", referring to "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen".
  • This tape reappears in the VCR in the Character Videos page.
• Email 2 emails — One of the nametags for the hot girls to wear reads "Hot Lips #4077", a reference to both Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan and the fact that the series takes place at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.
• Strong Sad's Lament — In the August 19, 2004 entry, Strong Sad changes his blog's avatar to a picture of Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly.
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 13 — When Tompkins presses a button on his Game Boy, the text "m.a.s.h." appears.
• Kick-A-Ball — Coach Z mentions a "Section 8 sport" and cross-dresses. In M*A*S*H, Corporal Max Klinger regularly cross-dressed in hopes that he could get a Section 8 discharge.
