It's probably something entirely random. You know how Homsar's mind works. Keep in mind, this guy is a song from the 60's raised by a cup of coffee. |

Homesar is a song? I thought he was a spelling error that the Chap Brothers (I think that's what they're called correct me if I'm wrong) decided to go along with and create a person |

Didymus just linked to the full screen version as opposed to the normal way....I always watch the emails in fullscreen...it's just cooler! WIDESCREEN! Left side WHHAAAAAA! Right side WHHAAAAA!
Ok, that doesn't really work...but it reminded me of that! |

I prefer normal, because on widescreen the picture is, like, poking outta the sides. That's weird... |

I'm pretty sure that "stave it off" is actually a term used in fighting. As in 'to stave someone off', meaning 'to defend yourself with a staff'. Basically, club someone with a stick. It now, of course, has the meaning everyone else has said. |

Yep, I read that "Stave it off" means "hit it with a stick until it goes away." |

Completely ignoring the fact that this topic is from about 4 and a half years ago, I'd say Mike and Matt sung that. |

I might be going insane, but the guy has a guitar. Mabye he means 'start a musical stave' or to start a stave or mabye even to finish a stave or finish a song. |
