I’d have to go with [The Picture of Everything](http://www.thepictureofeverything.com/) by Howard Hollis. However, since being pop culture is its entire purpose, perhaps it shouldn’t count.

I nominate Kingdom of Loathing. References abound, thought they’re slanted towards the geeky side of pop culture.

> Yeah, but I’d classify those as \* culture \* references. John Meyers Meyers spent an awful lot of time in the library blowing dust off of obscure books.

Terry Pratchett’s books are chock-full of pop culture references, as are the films of Nick Park.

You may notice that there is a minor gap in the fabric of reality in this thread. We had a “sock puppet” who had posted several times, and who has had several different identities on our boards. We have therefore caused his posts to disappear.

This is our standard practice with trolls and sock puppets. If they see that their efforts vanish into smoke, we hope that they will go away and stop pestering us.

Unfortunately, this causes a bit of a hiccough in the logic of the thread. That seems a small price to pay, but sorry about it anyway.

**Blessid Union of Souls** , but I don’t think it’s a contender in this category.
