Protestants go to church on Sunday to, and Episcopals (which Lois's WASPy parents probably are) among others have real wine at Communion -Madison 71.12.191.90 20:45, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure what Madison's original point was either, but traditionally Catholic parishioners are not given the wine, because they are taught that the wine actually turns to blood and to preserve this, for lack of a better term, illusion, only the priest may drink the wine. Most Protestants eschew this practice, treating the wafers and wine as symbols of the body and blood, and allow their parishioners to drink the wine. Justin The Claw ( talk) 08:23, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Is the scene were Peter milks the cow which moo's in an orgasmic behaviour, a copy from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIII, where Ned Flanders get turned into a cow-centaur and needs to be milked? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MidnightOverlord ( talk) 10:40, May 5, 2007 (UTC)
According to tv.yahoo.com as of today, this episode will air next Sunday, and gives the following plot summary:
This seems to imply that they will specifically go to Crawford, Texas. Of course we will show restraint and wait until the episode airs before adding any of this to the article. ShutterBugTrekker 21:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Even though Brian hates living in Texas, he was born there. See Road to Rhode Island.
were there even any examples of racism in the Texan characters, or is it another example of Brian's "holier than thou" attitude? Mullhawk ( talk) 08:19, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I have removed a link placed by 89.1.172.34 to the full episode, as I believe this violates copyright. FlamingGoldFish 18:54, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
what gives the episode it's name? is there anything in the episode that is about boys crying
Could also the title be taken from the Cure song "Boys Don't Cry"?
I find them kind of trivial and completely unnecessary.
Surely Stewie's comment about weight going to his vagina an illustration of his youth, thus being ignorant of how what an adult female would worry about? Unless gay men never speak to women. Optimus Sledge 04:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me what the part where they interview the one guy about his feelings on the Super Devil and such and he says something along the lines of: "I was totally going to bone my girlfriend and then...and she was like there is no WHEY (thats what it sounds like when he says it). Is this a reference to anything? Anyone? Angel of Anubis 00:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
yeah; i was curious as well. its a bloody peculiar accent he has- where is it from or supposed to be from? (given that he's a local man, perhaps thats what rhode islanders sound like, but not being from the US i have no idea)
-The dialect in question is known as "Yooper" and is coomonly fouund around the upper coast of Lake Michigan, principally in northern Michigan and northern and eastern Wisconsin. Its distinct features are derived mostly from German, Dutch, Canadian French, and the Scandinavian languages (particularly Finnish). Jeremicus rex ( talk) 01:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Image:FGBoysDoCry.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removed due to being WP:TRIVIA and completely unsourced. If a 'cultural reference' is notable enough, it should have sources. DP76764 ( Talk) 15:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a mention of Sneakers O'Toole? There's an article for him which redirects to this article. He gets 83,000 hits on Google, largely it seems from people trying to find out what the scene is a reference to and what it means. After detailed and pointless research, it seems the answers to both are "nothing". If I could find a decent reference for this I'd add it, but I can't. 87.80.97.137 ( talk) 11:38, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Is it just me, or does this line make no sense?
"The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and was directed by Brian Iles, in his each of their respective first episode for the series."
...in his each of their respective... huh? Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but I think it makes no sense. Indy ( talk) 00:34, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
On hold for 7 days, if the actions are completed in that time, I will do a full re-assessment. Mayhem Mario 16:57, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
