References to Popular Culture

• Stan refers to Pip, Butters, and Dougie as "Melvins", which is slang for really lame people.
• According to Pip, one of the steps of playing Wickershams and Ducklers involves singing the merry tune of Stratford. It's likely a reference to Stratford, England.

• Mr. Mackey's house is surrounded by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), a department that regulates the listed controlled substances/weapons in the United States. In 2001 they were renamed The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
• The ATF is worried that Mackey's party is really a meeting of a religious cult that is plotting to commit suicide during the meteor shower. This is a reference to the Heaven's Gate religious cult and the 1997 Hale-Bop comet passing.
• Jimbo is having a conversation about Football with two burley guys. Here's a break down of what they are talking about:
  • Jimbo mentions that they don't have Elway that year: This is referencing the fact that John Elway had left the Denver Bronocs, he played his last game with the team in 1998.
  • He also mentions how Brister won every game he played for with the team. This is in reference to Bubby Brister who joined the Bronco's in 1997.
