-'''Pony Eyelashes~''' was an infamous, yet beloved poster on several Weezer message boards.  He or she was known to post absurd, long-winded and misspelled narratives with no punctuation usually in multiple colors and complete with animated gifs.
+'''Homie''' is a side project of [[Rivers Cuomo | Rivers Cuomo]]. Homie has released just one song, "[[American Girls]]", for the soundtrack of the 1998 film ''[[Meet the Deedles Soundtrack|Meet the Deedles]]''. For this recording, Cuomo was joined by Greg Brown member of Cake, [[Matt Sharp]] (formerly of Weezer, lead singer of The Rentals), Adam Orth of Shufflepuck and Yuval Gabay of Soul Coughing.
-==Notable contributions to the community==
+The Homie project began during Weezer's hiatus after the release of [[Pinkerton]].  Cuomo tried out several musicians, including Weezer's second bass player, [[Mikey Welsh]] before settling on a final lineup.
-*Coined the catch phrase "Hi Y'all LOL~"
-*Created a popular misspelling of "River": "Ricer".  As well as many other variations on Rivers Cuomo such as "Riven Crawford", "Rive Cumell", "Rick Commadore"
+Weezer fans sometimes erroneously apply the Homie moniker to a totally different Cuomo-led group of Boston-area musicians that played several shows while Rivers took time off from Harvard. This group was not Homie, but were played under the guise of "solo" shows, and the material played at these shows were songs Rivers had written for the third Weezer album at the time. The material played at Homie shows were exclusive to the Homie project and are assumed to have been intended for the Homie album which was worked on in 1997 and 1998. ('''[[Homie|more]]'''...)
-*Extensive use of the tilde character (~).
-*Created an absurd Choose Your Own Adventure fantasy tale which hi-jacked dozens of threads to tell it's story.
-*Was known to team up with [[i.v.league]] on websites and other projects such as the creation of the "The Poodle Posse"
-*Known for an avatar of a green and pink pony which stood and danced forward and backwards.
-*Created the first (and only) 3D thread which required the use of 3D glasses to view its visuals and bizarre hidden messages.
-*Created a thread which acted as his personal webpage complete with a blog, photo gallery and guest book.  The thread was apparently created so that he wouldn't have to pay for his own web space.
-*Created a legendary tale of a secret and unreleased Weezer album called ''[[Beeswax]]'', a concept record of immense proportions that was religious in nature and it's musical content was so powerful that the FBI had no choice but to take an interest in Weezer for national security reasons.
