== Homestar's t-shirt ==

Anybody know what Homestar's t-shirt says? I'm sure it's a reference to something, but I don't know what it is, and I can't make out what it says. Also, I tried moving his bathrobe by decompiling the Flash file, but the robe and the t-shirt are the same graphic. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:See shape 501.  Hotrod, it seems.  No idea if it's a real shirt.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::Trey, what does homestar look like under there without being pixelly? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

:::OF: Ooh, nice work! That means it's a reference to [http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=Ysm&q=roddy+piper&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi Rowdy Roddy Piper]! :D DeFender: Hmm, I forgot to check...

== Strong Badia? ==

When people mention Strong Badia in their emails, Strong Bad seems to have stopped bothering to either a) actually assume they mean Strong Badia, and set the email there or b) correct them. I think this is the first time he goes ahead and assumes "Strong Badia" means "Free Country USA". Worth noting? {{User:Tim333}}
:No, he does it all the time. This is not the first. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::When has he done it before? "local news" is set in strong badia. In "keep cool" there's a deliberate fourth wall break explaining the error. "unnatural" is set (at least at the start) in Strong Badia. In "mini-golf" he says "Strong Badia doesn't have a place of its own..." I could go on, but I can't think of a single time he's simply ignored the mention of Strong Badia. {{User:Tim333}}

==Strong Badia vs. Bubs' Concession Stand==
[[Image:Freecountry silhouette.png|150px]]  [[Image:CarrotandKazoo.png|150px]]

We have a strange reversal here.  Strong Badia and Bubs' Concession Stand seem to have switched places!  How do we mention this?  Or do we?  =]  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

:Probably should just go on [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe]]... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

:It's also possible that it's just the same, only viewed from the other side... {{unsigned|Capt. Ido Nos|18:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)}}
:: But we can clearly see that the stand is facing us in both shots, as well as the relative positions of the fence and the flag. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:::It's the same place, the difference is the ELEVATION and RANGE of the image. Carrot and Kazoo hill would be in the middle-right of the black area in the first picture, hence you wouldn't see it in that picture. (Imagine looking at a hill from above - it would appear flat). This of course doesn't change that the two seem to be in the wrong places. [[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 18:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::And not just the fence and flag, but the tire as well (which IS there in nightlife, if you look closely).  It's clear they somehow switched places.  Anyway, the wording escapes me on how to phrase it on the inconsistencies page, so I'll let someone else do that.

== disdance ==

Strong Bad dances '''exactly''' like in the email [[disconnected]]. {{User:KlingOnMyDreams/sig}} 19:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Should we make it in inside references? {{User:KlingOnMyDreams/sig}} 19:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Removed Edit ==
:''The quote "But that's for another e-mail." is a reference to Good Eats, where host Alton Brown constantly implies that a recipe or topic has been or will be discussed on another episode with a similar phrase.''
I don't mind, just I'd like to know a reason. It ''is'' a real reference, I watch the show a great deal, but I'd at least like to know [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 19:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:The phrase "but that's for another email" could stem from many common phrases, not least of which is the idiom "but that's another story".  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::Ok, so very common then, thas cool. At least it was a good reason. I've seen some edits removed when the reason wasn't very clear, thats why I posted this.[[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 19:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Stinkoblade raises a good point here. A hasty perusal of the pages in the HRWiki Policy category didn't turn up anything on this point, but it would seem to me that it's a little "brusque" to remove anything from a page without a few words of explanation in the edit comment. It does happen a lot in the heat of the moment. Newbies learn faster when you repeatedly point them to such well-trod pages as [[HRWiki:Standards]] and [[HRWiki:Inclusion guidelines]], and everyone's favorite [[HRWiki:Glossary#TTATOT]]. On the other hand, implying that their contribution wasn't even worth the extra twenty seconds to explain why it wasn't worth an extra twenty seconds has got to be frustrating. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Soma ==

Is it worth noting anything about Soma (''Brave New World'', etc.)? It's not exactly relevant, given it's just a strange pronunciation, but perhaps it's worthy of a mention.

== A scandal every week ==

Removed from the Remarks section, but interesting enough for the Talk page:
* Strong Bad's email song is rhythmically identical to the one from [[dragon]] ("Here I go once again with the email...").
Check it out. It's probably unintentional, but it's almost a perfect match. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

: It's not *that* close.  Here's a comparison between the two:

:(Note that Strong Bad swings the eighth notes, so it comes out less stiff than what I wrote down.  Still, this should be pretty accurate.)

== Music ==

Can anyone make out what the lyrics are to the song playing in Club Technochocolate?  It sounds like "soft drink" or something...
:I was wondering this too. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:It sounds like 'soft driiink..... seize a soft driink....'but i cant tell what the low part is. Sublimimal(dont know how to spell this) messaging?--{{User:AWMPSCE/sig}} 20:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:I imagine they'll put it up as a QotW later, but for now my Rorschach answer is "Palm trees. See the palm trees." --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Drive-Thru ==

I kind of thought that including the whale on the fast-food bag really removed a lot of the strangeness from "Drive-Thru," because at least we know now that actual food can be ordered from this "whale," or that there's more of them in FC. {{User:The President/sig}} 21:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe he got takeout. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Drive-Thru Whale ==

Should we include the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] as a charcter?--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 21:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:Nope, a picture is not an appearance. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
