==Running Time==
I timed this email just to check if the current one was right, and I got 3:10 at the end of [[The Paper]]'s descent. Do we go by when The Paper first comes down or when he finishes coming down? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 12:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:At the end of the email, including "waiting" easter eggs; meaning after The Paper has finished printing. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

==Half Life 2 reference==
The Poop Smith looks a lot like a combine metrocop in Half Life 2, Maybe that was a real world refrence! [[user:Masher101.|Masher101.]] 7:14AM, 13 March 2006

:Well, if you think it's a reference, go ahead and add it! I wouldn't know; I've never played Half Life 2. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:I doubt that this was intentional. Feel free to request for it to be [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF'd]]. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

::I thought he looked more like those things in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:::[[Wikipedia:Races from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Vogons|Vogons]], you mean? &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

::::Yes, that's what I'm thinking of. Especially the scenes with all of them in their suits with lasers on their chests. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:I agree, he looks a lot like a CP with a stunstick. ([http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Image:Metrocop_police.jpg Image]) --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 18:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:I also agree, and I came to this page looking to see if anyone else had thought the same. He looks like one of those black Combine guys. [[User:24.222.225.198|24.222.225.198]] 00:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== "I hate your shoes" or "I think you're cute"? ==

I'm not sure what it is the mutant head bad is saying at the end, but it sounds far more like "I think you're cute" than "I hate your shoes". I could be wrong though. What do you alls think? --[[User:86.135.179.79|86.135.179.79]] 13:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:I hear "I think you're shoes", though it's most probably something else. I'm betting 100 pencil shavings that this is going to be the next Quote of the Week. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:I hear "I think you're cute!" I'm listening again to be sure, though. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]
::I hear "shoes". {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 15:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I think you'e cute (with a chuckle) here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::::I heard "I like your shoes." Must just be me. {{User:Tom_Epsilon/sig}}
:::::Definitely "I think you're cute". I'm changing it. [[User:Qduk|Qduk]] 22:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::: I'm changing it back. No "Cute" here. I hear a very distinct "SH" sound. And, yeah, prime QoW material here. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::I think this requires a more formal vote, as it's so clearly a "t" at the end for me. Agree? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Not me. I'm iffy on the "hate", but I'm pretty confident on "shoes". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::I hear what you call a "sh" as an aspirated "k". Like he's gigling. Listen for that. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::Yeah. This would be exacerbated by the sound compression. Trust me, he says "I think you're cute". [[User:Qduk|Qduk]] 22:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::I definitely hear "Hate your shoes". Where's Keifer? He always helps with these... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
: I turned it up. I still hear no K and no T. And no KoT. The word is "shoes", and the more I listen to it, the more confident I am. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::As did I. It is clear we will reach no concensus. I suggest a formal vote to determine which will be the transcript phraseology and which will be the footnote. If a QOTD comes out, we'll all win. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Strammy ==

Just for it to be noted somewhere: Stramy is a nick name for our beloved user [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy]]. Coach Z said: "Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!" and our Stramy did leave for personal reasons. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:You don't think they're on to us, do you? -shifty eyes- - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

:I'll repeat this; it's definitely a coincidence. Thanks for the notice, though, E.L. Cool. I'm sure Homestramy20 will enjoy it. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:I'd say it's somewhat from "A Jorb Well Done" &mdash; [[User:70.29.120.82|70.29.120.82]] 22:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, I agree. Strammy, as in Stramstar. AJWD all the way. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 23:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Panera Bread ==

mmmm
make sure to try their sierra turkey and i.c cappuchino blended ice coffee drink

anyone else ever been?

hmm, my security verify posting coat is deffbo, that gives me a idea for a weightloss to cRAPPY music thingy

:It literally took me like five minutes to parse the last sentence above. For those five minutes I was sure it was computer-generated gibberish like the kind you sometimes find in spam. No offense.<small>&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small> 16:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

::What ''does'' it mean? {{User:Granola/sig}} 17:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== "Hope I can find my local..." ==

Listening to Strong Bad's last line in the e-mail, I keep hearing him saying "''Hope I can find my local '''bunman'''...''", whereas the transcript currently shows "''Hope I can find my local '''bunmaker'''...''"  Can anyone else lend their ears and offer their opinion on what he's saying?  It was reverted out of this [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=disconnected&oldid=285233] revision, so I just want some sort of consensus before changing th transcript. [[User:63.166.226.115|63.166.226.115]] 16:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


:Def "bunman". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:: I had my sound low-ish when I transcribed, so as not to disturb my neighbors. If I made any mistakes, that's the reason. Just defending myself is all. ;) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I can clearly hear bunman not bunmaker. --{{User:Antispam}} 17:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== J-J-J-Jenny and The Bets ==

The way Strong bad said "Jenny" reminded me of the song, ''Benny and The Jets'' by [[Wikipedia:Elton_John|Elton John]].  Anybody else think this justifies a real world reference? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]
:Not me, seems a stretch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::When I heard him, I was thinking of the song "867-5309 (Jenny)" by Tommy Tutone. Then again, maybe someone who has actually heard that song can confirm or deny it. - Andyroid
:::Definitely not that song. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== A Million Yards? ==

Nobody has mentioned that 1 million yards = 3 million feet (1 yard = 3 feet right?) = 568.18 miles (1 mile = 5280 feet).  You can take it from here (like by saying at 60 MPH it would take 9 hrs to complete, 90 hrs at 6MPH, 52 mins at speed of sound (at air i think it's 676MPH), and for light... well, 1.89 milliseconds).  I'm still on wikivacation though. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:I'd think SB just called it that in exaggeration. No other character or signage does. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Is Homestar's bread fixation becoming a running gag? ==

He not only has held Bread Sing-alongs (in Origins), but has also tried to pass off "Moldy Bread, Guys" as Cheat-cakes (in Do-Over).  -SomeoneWhoHasn'tCreatedAnAccontYet
:Maybe.  There is circumstantial evidence that [[helium|he only eats pork and beans]].  Then again, we haven't seen him try to eat bread.  I wonder if we could tie this in with [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman's]] love of bread.

== Real-world reference ==

I believe "Regenerator" is a real-world reference to the low-to-no budget horror film "Re-animator," based off the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This is probably worth a brief reference on the page for this e-mail.

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/ IMDB link to "Re-Animator"]

Hi, I've been lurking for many months but this is my first attempt at actually working with Wiki. {{unsigned|Evil Jim|19:24, March 13, 2006 (UTC)}}

== Dizzy, anyone? ==

I've always thougth that SB's head looks like good old egg Dizzy (main character of adventure game starting off at 8-bits). He had even boxing floating boxing gloves and shoes (rayman-like, except rayman is much younger). But now when he says that "My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time", I see this as a real-world reference to the Dizzy, who used somersault as jump, which happened all the time. [[User:Analytik|Analytik]] 20:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:I tink it's just a referenceto normal eggs. In fact, that maks it barely a reference at all, since it's really not that specific. &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Bosomest of Buddies ==

Hi, i tried to edit the real-world references to say that the term "bosomest of buddies" comes from the 1980 TV show "Bosom Buddies" starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, and I got it up, but it was soon deleted.  Why?  It's true!
:It's a common phrase, not a reference to anything specific. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Why not a reference to the Cole Porter song? Or - better yet - why not just a use of a common phrase in English, making it not very remarkable after all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Come on, really.  The TV show.  It's a reference.  The phrase has become common thanks to Tom and Peter.
::Really. Look up the song from the show <strike>"Anything Goes" by Porter</strike> Mame. (Oops, wrong show.) This has been a common phrase for at least a century. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Cornbread ==

Does anybody think that Homestar selling cornbread could be related to Bubs calling himself Cornbread in A Decemberween Pageant.
:No. Cornbread is a common food. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Do you think Strong Bad's saying that he needs muscle is a reference to the [[Homestarloween Party]], in which Bubs said the car had muscle?  If you answered yes to that question, I recommend a tour through [[STUFF]].  It would be instructive.  Seriously, it's just cornbread. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

== 'Doom' reference? ==

Flying Head Bad seems to bear a strong resemblance to the Lost Souls from the Doom video game series. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is worthy of be added.

== THX ==

Perhaps those repulsorlift rings are more common than I realize, but did anyone else think of the robot guy with the jetpack in the THX commercial with the cows?  I did. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Municipality ==

Why is the KOT's, ahem, "government", referring to Free Country as a ''municipality'', going out of its way to use that exact word? [[Free_Country%2C_USA#Politics|You don't think...]] --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 23:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Formal vote for the debated Head Bad quote ==

Vote what you think Strong Bad's mutated head says:

'''I hate your shoes.'''
#{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
#[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

'''I think you're cute.'''
