DS?

What do you suppose Homestar's marking as "ds" means? I can think of one that's not family friendly, but other options? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

My guess is on Dumb Star, or something like that. He previously called Homestar that in an email, I think, but I am not sure. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 19:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing it's a reference to the Nintendo DS. It has been shown again and again that TBC are Nintendo fans. At least, the DS was what I first thought of when I saw that. My two cents. Alcnolien Has Spoken! 20:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

It's almost certainly "duckshirt." That's pretty much a synonym for Homestar, and in flashback, SB uses "Duckshirt" as Homestar's name. LitigationMattson 20:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it's just the "sb" on the Strong Bad cutout mirrored. The Spainish Inquisition

Baseball reference

Strongsad's Easteregg mentioning Baseball could be a reference to the MLB Trade Deadline (which ends in 20 minutes)

Doubtful - TGS11 had a baseball ref too. I think TBC just like baseball. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sticklyman's Return!

No running, no diving, and no swimming; All represented by the pudding-shoveler himself! --207.69.139.8 19:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, but are you sure it's Sticlyman? Does he have a shovel? Is he into light fighting? Or maybe he's just the typical guy-on-a-sign stick man. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I hate you. My hopes and dreams rise up and you cruelly shoot them down with your harsh words. I will have my revenge, jerk! --207.69.139.8 20:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

That was kind'a rude, Qermac, but I suspect a block-in-progress, Mr. IP Stongbah ^Preeow! 21:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

There was nothing rude about what Qermaq said. He was just making the facts obvious. Loafing 21:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

no clicky on the lappy

when you click the lappy's screen, the pressure waves don't show up.

Sure they do. I just did it. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

They don't show up after Strong Bad falls through the roof. --Ragey 22:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Up, A, and Start

• Does this reference any particular video game? If it were just Up+A, I'd be sure it was a reference to Metroid or both Legend of Zelda games on the NES (using that code on a second controller would save your progress and restart) but I can't think of any games that used Up+A and Start. -- Frickinsellout 20:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
  • You are almost certainly right. In fact, the Up+A on the second controller trick only works when you have paused (pressed start) on the first controller. I'm going to add it to the real-world references section. Trey56 20:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Long Pants?

Is it me, or is Homestar wearing his 'long pants' in the 'ool? (~InvaderJem)

Pooling

How about the fact that the "pool" had been previously mentioned here [1]

I think that might pass off as a fun fact. Nice find, there! (~InvaderJem)

See Swimming Pool. Loafing 21:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems more likely to be the pool from A Jumping Jack Contest.

Mr. Chek(h)ov

I'm pretty sure this is a double reference to both the writer and the Star Trek character. Yeah, they're spelled differently, but who ever calls Anton Chekhov "Mr. Chekhov"? However, Kirk did call his Chekov "Mr." all the time...

Progressive progress

Is anyone still currently working on the transcript? When I stopped, I took the "inprogress" template off... If whoever's working on it now is going really slowly, that's one thing, but it's kinda rude to leave the template there and just stop. --Jay (Talk) 21:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

The school aways had an elevator!

Is anyone else thinking that this particular line might be a reference to Saved by the Bell? Specifically, that time the school suddenly had an elevator for Zack to deliver Mr. Belding's son in? - 81.157.53.124 21:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
