Magic or Badges

Does Brundo say I lost all my badges or magic?--ONESTOP 14:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I definitely hear a distinct "m" sound — "magic". Trey56 14:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Change the transcript someone.--ONESTOP 14:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Firsts

I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've seen the thnikkachoir. Additionally is it the first time we've seen homestar in bed without his "tee-shirt + robe" nightwear? -DAGRON 15:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

It's definitely the first appearance of the choir... Trey56 15:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Phone Calls?

It sounds to me like Strong Bad says "cold calls" instead of "phone calls," which makes a little more sense (to me, at least). Manolios 15:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Seconded and edited. It's a phrase not everyone would recognize, so I'll work up an Explanation too. --TheNicestGuy 15:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Definitely agree, makes sense in the sentence and it's pretty unmistakably "cold."--Big Dog 15:39, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

mp3

is it illegal to put up an mp3 of the song for download?

Nah, we don't need to — in fact, I bet you one e-doughnut that it'll be this week's Quote of the Week, with better audio quality! Trey56 16:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

well, next week's probably --Zatchman 18:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

St. Olaf

Removed this Real-World Reference:

• The page title references the town of St. Olaf, which is the birthplace of Rose from The Golden Girls. The show has been mentioned twice before, in sbmail helium, and Halloween Potion-ma-jig.

We can STUFF this if other people think the connection is strong enough, but note that St. Olaf was a real saint. If there's any legitimate reference to be made here, it's to him, but I don't see the need, personally. --TheNicestGuy 16:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the reference is more likely to the saint, and I think it's worth a mention in Real-World References, personally... Trey56 16:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Go for it if you want. I just think it's a little tenuous. The fact is, it's equally likely TBC were thinking of the fictional town in Minnesota when they used that name. We've got no details on the "character", so it's impossible to tell. --TheNicestGuy 17:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Meh, there's a college named after him too, along with probably a bunch of other things. But they're all named after him, so I think it's fair to add a small ref about him — I'll go do it. Trey56 17:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes, the good ole St. Olaf Oles. Which, it's been speculated, is where the Golden Girls writer got the name in the first place. Oh, Olaf, you never foresaw any of this when you subdued the Orkneys, did you? --TheNicestGuy 17:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

St. Olaf isn't a town, it's a college. The town it's in is called Northfield.--Big Dog 19:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Stop Motion

On the forum, I had suggested a Rankin Bass stop motion parody. Awexome 17:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait..What?

Thnikkaman cant be the true meaning of decemberween, he's just a character or event that happens, how can this defie EVERYTHING that everybody said in the decemberween pagent? Cyberdemon 18:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I think you're reading way too far into it. Equate the Dethemberween Thnikkaman to Santa Claus. Many children's specials treat Santa as the "king" of Christmas or whatever. --Jay (Talk) 18:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

...because it's a crazy cartoon with no real meaning or chronology, just whatever they feel like putting in?--Big Dog 19:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Little Debbie

Aren't those Little Debbie Holiday Cakes?--Mycroft Holmes 19:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
