The chet is fune. That's gotta be the most awesome fanstuff ever! I hope general comments are okay... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:17, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

:I don't know, we might want to have a designated section heading for them.  Like "mindless chatter" or something.  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:29, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Where'd that be? On this page? "Witty Banter" would be funny...but it's usually not witty... *sigh*. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 16:01, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::Yeah, I mean a general heading that would be used on a discussion page if someone just wants to leave a comment like you did.  I don't want to encourage it though.  And we've always called it "mindless chatter" in the disclaimer.  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:22, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yes, I had it archived on my computer for several months now (unknowingly, no doubt), and only yesterday did I realise I had it available all this time...and I had yet to see it here on the wiki. The flag of strongbadia (in all its glory) can now be seen in weekly fanstuff! --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:07, 3 Oct 2004 (MST)

What ''are'' homestar meltymen? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 09:41, 1 Oct 2004 (MST)

Almost 100% sure "sweetchucks" means Sweet Chuck Taylor's .. because the shoes are Converse, a brand by Chuck Taylor. -- [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== Cardboard Tube link ==

I've removed the link to [http://www.obeythetube.com obeythetube.com] from the Trogdor Stand-up cabinet listing.  Some of the images in their "images" section look similar to the cabinet, but I wasn't able to find that particular image anywhere.  Perhaps the image was just created using the same software?  Does anyone have any information regarding this website and its images?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:11, 5 Oct 2004 (MST)

It's definately there. Go to images => mapojects => old school arcade. They have a bunch or arcade cabinets, including the exact trogdor image.

== Possiblity for a table? ==

A number of the images in this article are rather large and a few are off-site images. Nevertheless, does anyone else think that the weekly fanstuff article is a candidate for a table? I believe [[User:Tom|Tom]] implemented a nice table, very recently, on a similiar article over at [[Weekly Sketchbook|Sketchbook]], and I just wanted to know if anyone else thought that it would be a good idea? I could help with the image uploading if a few others think it might work. 
--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:50, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I've converted it to a table.  All that needs to be done now is for the images to be described in the fourth collum there.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:43, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Skullcap ==
Is it just me or did they totally miss out on the "homestarmukle"???

Homestar Skullcap, what kinda name is that?

:That's what TBC decided to name it, mystery poster. Appears to be a 'yarmulka' to me. "Skullcap" is a just a more neutral (politically correct) word for the same garment. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 23:09, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Heh, I suppose the political-correctness is an issue, but I thought it was a great funny that got passed up. : )  I'm a long-time hrwiki lurker.  --Aegd

Hey So that is my head and my Yarmulke.  I didnt think anyone would get Homestarmulke.  But how awesome.

Shouldn't this description read something like "Homestar on a yarmulka (Jewish skullcap)"?  The skullcap mushroom description is flat-out incorrect.  -- random lurker

==Archival==
This page should be archived periodically to prevent it from getting too long. Once a month mayhaps? - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 00:47, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

I agree. Perhaps we can have a poll on the forums for choosing the best time increment to archive? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 20:40, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Message to [[TBC]] from [[Jonathan Howe]] ==

Be sure to view the XML source of this file:
[http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/weeklies.xml]

:I learned about this XML file when I was poking through these flash files: [http://www.homestarrunner.com/fanstuff.swf] & [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sketchbook.swf] when I found I couldn't view the image or the text when those two preceding files are saved remotely (i.e., on a hard drive.) '''Jonathan''' (I assume his last name is Howe, as he is a programmer) has left a message in a comment to the "'''Chapos'''" about the placement of certain "character shortcuts." He more or less 'signs' the comment with the words "Love, jonathan." I just found this rather amusing. Does anyone else? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
:this should be a fun fact!! --[[User:frogz|Frogz]] 10:50, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Alt text ==

Please leave the alt text for the images as the exact text that appears in the images.  This is for easier and better searching.  Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:19, 16 Jan 2005 (MST)

Just a side note that the Dennis sign is cut off, below Dennis is probally "Willows Rd." or stuff like that. Not that un-common for roads to be nammed after people in the USA. Just for those that don't realize. - [[User:Mick|Mick]]

== Possible Homestar yarmulke sighting ==

Is there anyway to tell where these things come from? While I was scanning the page the other night, I saw the HR yarmulke, and remembered I had seen a yarmulke very similar to that at a baseball game I went to a few months ago in Little Falls, NJ (I'm from Clifton, NJ, a neighboring town). --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 23:09, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Marraige Invitation? ==

Are Homestar Runner and Marzipan getting Married?¿?¿????????? If not, whats with the wedding invite??
:No, they are not getting married. It's an invitation that somebody, somewhere, at sometime made with Homestar and Marzipan getting married. "A fan." &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:42, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

OOOOOOOooh... okay. I understand now. It scared me there for a minute!

:This is my wedding invitation.  My wife created these two versions of the characters.  We figured TBC ought to see them, so we sent them an invite. [[User:Aaronite|Aaronite]]  21:47, 18 Aug 2005 (PDT)

== sending fanstuff ==

How do you send fanstuff so that they have a chance to get put on the weekly fanstuff?  Do you email it to the BCS?

''Posted by Martin F.''

I don't know in every case, but as mentioned above, I sent in my wedding invitation in early May to TBC through the mailing address in the Store P.O. box.  We didn't know if it would get to them, but it clearly did.  It wasn't intended to be fanstuff; we actually wanted them to see it.  At any rate, I suppose you could also e-mail them to TBC.

== Fairly On Point Kings ==

Is it just me, or is it quite plausable that [[Strong Mad]] is being played by a dresser? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:06, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Seems logical to me. Making such a rectangular costume might be a tad difficult (can YOU balance a thick wooden board on your head for a long time?). Obviously, it's a fairly thick surface, as it doesn't bend at the ends, like a piece of cardboard might if balanced on someone's head and draped with a sheet. Also, the place where Strong Mad's arms would be are kinda limp-looking (perhaps indicating that there's no person in the costume who would manipulate the arms). It looks about the right size for a dresser too, judging by the fellow dressed as Strong Bad next to it. And lastly, the Kick The Cheat plushie on top indicates that it's a level surface, which would be hard to do on a person. So, in summary, it's not just you. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Actually... I'm pretty sure there's a person in there. My wife and I are pretty sure we saw them at a Japanese culture convention or two, most likely [http://www.pacificmediaexpo.com/ Pacific Media Expo] or [http://www.anime-expo.org/ Anime Expo]. Note the badge hanging around Strong Bad's neck. I'd have to dig out my collection of conbadges to see if one of them matches, but I'm still quite sure that they're the same people, from the distinctively lopsided shape of the Strong Bad costume's head. Anyway, the Strong Mad costume mostly consisted of a wooden frame, and I'm pretty sure that they had handles coming down from the top inside the costume to support it. Here's another picture that also shows Strong Mad's feet: [http://image46.webshots.com/47/7/78/24/388577824NhyKtG_ph.jpg]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 04:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

== Archives ==
Does anyone know of a site that archives all the weekly fanstuff?  Or is there any way to access the old fanstuff from homestarrunner.com?

:Press article at the top of the page. There you go! --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 21:01, 16 September 2005 (BST)

Thanks.  The reason I didn't realize this was because I came directly to this page (the discussion board) from google, and not through the site.

== Backpack ==

Yeah, it looks like a bookbag/bagpack of sorts. On the left, it seems to be carried by some lady and it hangs down to her waist (those are pretty long straps).  The second it's just set against a pole or handrail of sorts, overlooking some hill and there's a staircase to the left. A needlessly detailed description, but a fun one to write nonetheless. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:28, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

==Tubamaba==
I can verify that the person playing the tuba is in the LSJUMB, having played that very tuba (it's one of the ones in best condition) and having hung out with that kid. We're excited about the recognition on h*r. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 01:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 01:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Wait, so what are those? Tuba... bells? Like a little Decemberween ornament with a guy playing a tuba on it.. and also StrongBad?
:The big round part of the tuba (or other such instrument) where the sound comes out is called a "bell."
::Ok, so what are we looking at? I see a tuba player and above him a circle with strong bad's face.. is that like a blow-up of a smaller detail on the tuba that we can't see? Why are there three of them?

hey you guys, is that Cheatar Jr. one of those BRatz Cheap-o fake Guitar things that they sell at Target? or is it the controller for the game Guitar Hero?

You really think that Strong Mad and Marzipan are missing? I see them as the second and third heads down on the right slope.

== Strong Zim ==

I'm not happy with the [[Wikipedia:Invader Zim|Invader Zim]] reference for the "awesome cheatcow". The only connection between this fanart and Invader Zim is that they have beady eyes.

==Gremlin==

That car is a Gremlin. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 05:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
:I was thinking that too... "It's kinda the same shape, and if it is, that'd be awexome... But I dunno enough about cars to say anything definite. 'Cept that the steering is on the right side, like in England." Those were my thoughts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Comparing it to the Gremlin in [[Wikipedia:AMC_Gremlin|this picture]], it doesn't look like one &mdash; at least the side windows in the back are different, and the hood seems to be longer.  But perhaps a different year or model Gremlin looked like that one. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
:::An [http://images.google.co.nz/images?q=gremlin+amc&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=on&start=39&sa=N&ndsp=18 image search] shows similar cars to the one from the 'Kipedia article. Take good notice of the weird shape of those windows. Given that Gremlins apparently look very different from the Trogcar, that the Trogcar looks like any ordinary old European car, and that it has the steering wheel on the right-hand side, I'd say that's definitely not a Gremlin.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
::::Although it is not overly important to identify the make of car, I can with certainty rule out it being an AMC Gremlin. It would make sense given the [[Gremlin|exposure]] that car has received, but I personally believe the car is a [[wikipedia:Vauxhall Chevette|Vauxhall Chevette]].

Okay, since the XML source code now has the tag "<fanstuff>trogdor smash bros level</fanstuff>" and not the previous one, would it now be a good time to change last week's description to lowercase? Ya gotta match the image and be consistent.
:No. Never. Screw consistancy. Keeping it caps ''preserves'' the XML's writing of it, showing a noteworthy deviation from the standard. You might as well say, "Okay, now that that Quote of the Week isn't there anymore, we should change the transcript to say "I say tomatermorts" instead of "I zader matermorts"." That's not how it works. The XML shows the true intent of how the caption was to be written, and as we don't have a record of each XML change (save for the history of [[Weeklies XML]]), the fanstuff/sketchbook sections should document the change instead. After all, this isn't the first time this has happened either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
::Is it possible to depict the text in the "text" column as it was seen by visitors, and then comment that the XML was different? I don't know about you, but I don't think visitors care what the XML says, they care what the text looks like. That's why everyone and their sister seems to want to change it. Regarding your example, Dorian, we saw the text as "zadermorts" so there was never an argument on that one. This one, we see something different than what's in the code. That's notable. But this is not a "XML Code" column, it's a "text" column, and as such it should reflect the text we see. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

The only reason it wouldn't be, in my opinion, is if anything in the XML code is automatically converted to lowercase in the page view.

Anyone looking at the picture in question can, indeed, see the text as it appeared to Joe User.  So, then, why not capitalize the text as it appears in the XML?  After all, if all we're going to do is repeat the text exactly as it is ''two inches to the left''...what's the point of having the column at all?  (And I apologize in advance for my sig doing this.

== Trogdor coat of arms blazon ==

The blazon would more properly be "Or, Trogdor Statant," since Trogdor doesn't have forelimbs. In this case, Trogdor isn't green, one could argue that therefore it should be "Trogdor Sable". But that depends on whether the given coat of arms is in error or the blazon. "Dragon" in this case is insufficient, since Trogdor is sufficiently different from heraldic dragons as to require more specificity (heraldic dragons don't have beefy arms coming out of their backs).
:True enough, but I've seen plenty of different heraldic dragons. Trogdor definitely is a dragon, and the beefy arm could be considered his forelimb. I'd still go for a dragon rampant. Also, Trogdor is green, it's just a very dark green, probably because of the camera used. The only thing I haven't figured out to blazon are the crenelations on top of the shield.
