The Secrets of
"The Red Badge Of Gayness"

"Wow, dude! Your granpa still isn't dead?" - this goes back to "Death" (106), where Granpa wanted to end his life, since he had done all he wanted to do in life and wanted to end it all. I guess those lions in Africa didn't show any interest in eating him. I wonder what he did with the $10,000 he won on America's Stupidest Home Videos.

Intersting that Kenny drums for the North while his father fights for the South.

Fugasol = …oh, I can't say. Just clean up the slur a little…

Well, Mary Kay's voice was not in this one.

Courtney Love is the woman shown when the anchorman tells of the woman who was forced to live off her own feces for several days.

Colorado And The Civil War Colorado became a (Union) territory in 1961, and a state in 1876. By the time Lincoln was elected President in 1860, the South had built up a lifestyle around slavery that Lincoln threatened. To prevent this, the Southern States seceded. The North fought to bring the South back into the Union. First shots were fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, when Southerners surrounded the fort and demanded that the troops therein surrender. When the troops refused, the southerners opened fire, and the fort surrenedered the next day. Next battle: Bull Run, July 1861, as the Union soldiers headed from Washington D.C. to Richmond, Virginia, designated capital of the Confederate States of America. The Southerners defeated them there and forced them back to Washington. After many more skirmishes, the war ended near the village of Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1965. Lee surrendered to Grant in a farmhouse.

Butters Revisited From The Secrets of "Two Guys Naked In A Hot Tub": Swanson's nickname is Butters, so "Butters" Swanson. He has a stammer and a hint of Southern accent, but behind them is a rather logical mind. He tends to chatter. (in a later episode, we learn Butters' last name is Stotch) From South Park News And Info "Butters" Swanson = Eric "Butters" Stough Well, it turns out that Eric Stough, director of animation for the show, went to high school with Trey and David Goodman. So, Stan, Clyde, and Butters were classmates in real life. Here's what David says of Eric in a November 5 Salon article: "Eric is our friend from high school whom Trey worked with a bit in college and then hired to help on the pilot of "South Park." So, it's 1996: Matt picks him up at the airport, and Eric is wearing a suit and tie. Well, of course Trey and Matt tease him about this because suits and ties were and are and will always be ridiculous to them. But Eric is very young and goody-two-shoes and wants to do a super job. Doesn't drink, tight with money, gets out of the shower to pee. That kind of guy. Well, fast-forward to October 1999: Eric is running extremely late for his flight out of Denver to LAX to Hawaii, so he pulls up to the curb in his rental car, jumps out with the car running, grabs his bag, slams the door and takes off for his flight. Just leaves the car. Our little Butters is growing up." I knew Butters was a Southerner, and I think this episode was made for him. Butters was born in Mayberry, North Carolina, moved to Colorado and went to high school and college there, then moved back to Mayberry. He moved to Los Angeles in 1996 to work on South Park, and has a home in Colorado now. North Carolina was part of the South during the Civil War. The Andy Griffith Show, though filmed in Los Angeles, was based on Mayberry.
