[edit] Goofs section: Protestants don't go to church on Sunday?

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)

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean? Protestants and Catholics are both Christians -- same bible, same lord/savior, same holy day (Sunday). And as far as I know, all Christian churches (Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise) use wine for the transubstantiation part of Holy Communion -- unless they cannot afford to, or the specific pastor or congregation chooses to use some substitute liquid (typically fruit juice). And I'm still trying to see how this all bears relevance to this Family Guy episode? Piercetheorganist 02:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Simpson's Reference?

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)

No. The Orgasmic Cow is a recurring minor character on Family Guy, always making references to homosexuality (via characteristic stereotypical behaviors and speech), and usually to S&M (i.e. the getting milked thing in this episode, and getting branded with a hot iron in another episode, etc.).

[edit] Plot Summary

According to tv.yahoo.com as of today, this episode will air next Sunday, and gives the following plot summary:

"The family heads to church when Lois gets a gig as the organist, but after Stewie gets sick, the congregation is convinced he is possessed by the devil. Therefore, the family goes on the run and ends up in Texas. Peter fits right in with the cowboys, Stewie enters the "Little Miss Texas" pageant and Chris and Meg sneak into George W. Bush's house."

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)

[edit] Brian on Texas

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)

[edit] Copyright Violation

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)

[edit] title

what gives the episode it's name? is there anything in the episode that is about boys crying

[edit] The Cure

Could also the title be taken from the Cure song "Boys Don't Cry"?

[edit] removing the notes about Stewie

I find them kind of trivial and completely unnecessary.

[edit] Vaginas

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)

[edit] "There is No Way"

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)
