	'''Old Man Rootbeer''' is a character from the [[Ghosts\|ghost]] story, initially told by [[Homestar Runner]], in [[Mr. Poofers Must Die]]. He is trying to see that the eponymous [[Dogs\|dog]], [[Mr. Poofers]], gets [[Death\|killed]]. He is upset at Mr. Poofers for eating his [[Pine Cones\|pimecones]]. He wears a red plaid overcoat and a red hat. His outline is brown, and he has stick arms and zigzag stick legs. Like [[The King of Town]], his white beard (represented by three bumps at the bottom of his head) takes up his whole face, as evidenced when Mr. Poofers rips it off. He has gray skin beneath his beard, and is most often seen with an angry expression.
