Title: Missed reference in Brief Cases/Big Foot on Campus
Post by: JTass on March 27, 2025, 03:04:37 PM

I'm in the middle of re-reading Brief Cases, and noticed something I missed previously:

...I nodded toward his goons. “Ghouls, right? It’s going to take more than two, Chuck. Hell, I like fighting ghouls. No matter what I do to them, I never feel bad about it afterward.”

Barrowill missed the reference, like the monsters usually do. ...

What is the reference here?

Spoiler for White Night:

(click to show/hide)

I had always thought that he meant the Camp Kaboom incident, where his hatred of ghouls was born, when they killed those 16 year old twins.

And Barrowill is White Court, they sent ghouls to the boat in White Night, so Harry maybe thinks that all Whampires know about the root of his hatred, because they work with the ghouls.

... the Camp Kaboom incident ...

These are usually pop-culture references, that the monsters never get.

In this case, I think this person spotted it:  https://www.reddit.com/r/dresdenfiles/comments/11ys5hu/comment/jdbwnnj/

Aaaah, I am like Barrowill, I didn't get the pop-culture reference.
