Ding! Bubs' Concession Stand is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.


It was suggested on Bubs discussion that all the items he's sold be listed. Sounded good to me, but figured it should belong on this page. I threw this together for comments (not complete). What's the best way to list this (or how much space do we want to use up with this list)? Similar to how I have it here, or each item individually? Is the title of the toon(s)-of-origin enough? --BaconSandwich 10:45, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)

Known Items Sold:

Whoa, that's cool. I added it to the page. -- Tom 11:19, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)
Thanks, I added as much more as I could readily think of and find, and cleaned up a little. I seem to recall some other times when characters may have referred to items they got from Bubs (like in the KoT E-mail), but can't remember specifically. Still like to see a better way to list this, but any other way would probably take up too much space. BTW: while looking for this stuff I seem to have discovered that the popcorn machine coincides with the sign reading "Concessions by Bubs", as seen in A Jumping Jack Contest,The Best Decemberween Ever,Where's The Cheat? (the only toons I've noticed). Not sure if this is interesting enough to note anywhere... --BaconSandwich 00:13, 10 Feb 2005 (MST)

All that crazy crap

I noticed something interesting. I don't know if it should be a fun fact or not, but it certainly is something I would never have noticed before.

I think all the "crazy crap" from The Best Decemberween Ever previously belonged to Strong Bad. After all, it all has some sort of connection to Strong Bad:

  • He's actually in "Tag Team Wrestling".
  • The oven mitts have his initials on them.
  • Who else would use a Strong Sad voodoo doll?
  • We know Strong Bad is a fan of Peter Frampton, since he has one of his songs playing in Strong Bad's Room Main Page.
  • It's possible that the Deep Impact DVD that Homestar keeps giving Strong Bad is actually the same one every time; Strong Bad might just return it to Bubs' every year. --ComputerBox 01:52, 4 Mar 2005 (MST)

Company Table and other info

After I added the table containing company info, the I noticed the article text was moved down the page. Is it possible to have the article text stay on the left, and the box sta on the right, without anything bein moved down? --Gafaddict 14:14, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)

Slogan?

Is "we got all types of crazy crap" really an official slogan? I've only heard him use it once. --Joshua 12:09, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good point. I know the Bubs t-shirt I have says "We're always awesome!" in the logo-thingy. -- Tom 23:45, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)
It could also be "Come on by! We're always awesome". --Gafaddict 02:48, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

Flamethrower?

One of the items listed was the flamethrower from different town. But I'm not sure if that really counts because it was Strong Bad's imagination. Thoughts? -Alice 3:23, 3 May 2005

I think it shouldn't count. Even if it says it's just fantasy (which it does). Kvb 19:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

So...what we gonna do about it? It has to be on the page SOMEWHERE as like, a fun fact or something. I just don't think it belongs in the list. -Alice 8:04, 4 May 2005

Real title

Shouldn't it be called Bubs' Conces5ion Stand?

No, that's just what the sign says of Bubs' Concession Stand. When it said "Concessions by Bubs" that wasn't the stand's name. At least, that's what I think. -- Joshua


Duck A L'orange??

Should this be on the list?

In "Lunch Special" this was an item requested by the cheat, any confirmation on whether this is actually a purchasable item? -- Mix Ma$ta' - 8 May 2005

Why the hell does it say "Free Country" instead of "Free Country, USA"? --Darklinkskywalker 20:19, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Grammatical Accuracy

Technically, the name of the place should be "Bubs's Concession Stand" instead of "Bubs' Concession Stand", unless the stand was originally founded by several people named Bub. I am surprised that grammar-nazi Strong Bad has not noticed this fact already.

Er..no, it's correct.

  1. We add an apostrophe without an "s" after plural nouns ending in "s". The same thing happens if it's a proper noun that ends in an "s"
  2. Everytime we see Bubs' stand, the sign is almost always spelt as "Bubs' Concession Stand", so that is the correct way of spelling it grammatically.
  3. I don't think you are allowed to say grammar-nazi here. It can be offensive and controversial.

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_apost.html - Purdue University and James's hat disagree.

Yes, but nevertheless, whether it is right or wrong, we must spell it exactly the same way The Brothers Chaps spell it. If it was wrong, it would have already been fixed ages ago. – The Chort 19:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
