It might be a bit of a stretch, but couldn't Nice Dad's third email (to the 42-year old etc.) be a reference to World of Warcraft, or at least MMOs in general? Goblin Keep sieges in particular makes me think of WoW. -Zero.exe | It might be a bit of a stretch, but couldn't Nice Dad's third email (to the 42-year old etc.) be a reference to World of Warcraft, or at least MMOs in general?

Reading Rainbow reference?
Stongbad says "But don't take it from me...". That sounds similar to the token phrase from Reading Rainbow: "But don't take my work for it...". Maybe too far of a stretch. — 65.208.30.254 (Talk | contribs) 17:00, 8 September 2008 (left unsigned)

Screenshot
I found myself wondering where that screen shot came from that was used on the main page. It turns out it's from an Easter egg. I don't know what our policy on using Easter egg screenshots as the main screenshot that represents the email is, but I would be against doing this. Furthermore it's not really a shot of any of the "action" that takes place in the email. I would think a shot of the play itself, or maybe of Strong Bad abusing Homestar with the ice cream cone, would be a better choice.

- When I uploaded this screenshot, I wanted to take one similar to the one in the Toons Menu, which is the KOT in front of an empty blackboard. To get this image, one would probably need a flash decompiler, which I don't have. So I just took a similar one. However, if you want to replace it, go ahead.

- We don't make screenshots based on the toons menu anyway. — Defender1031*Talk 17:50, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Accreditation
The King of Town's reference about not losing accreditation may be inspired by the Clayton County, Georgia school system's recent loss of accreditation about a week ago. Clayton County is directly south of Atlanta, TBC's home base. [1] — 68.36.181.124 (Talk | contribs) 8 September 2008 (left unsigned)
Goblin Keep Siege?
