== Arturo 9000 ==

Based on the loading screen, and the physical design when we see it in full, the Arturo 9000 actually looks more like a microfiche viewer than a computer. [[User:kyojikasshu]] 10:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's Homestars ==

i'm wondering, should there be a note on the Homestar "Clothing" section that Homestar calls his stars Homestars?

these sure get up fast

== blink? ==

Could someone explain why Homestar's picture blinking is considered a "goof"?  To me, it is something to be noted, since it is unusual, but how do we know it was not done intentionally?  Clearly, TBC used a movie clip of H*R, and it gives the picture a funny Harry Potter feel.  It doesn't seem like an error. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
: If they wanted to give it a "funny Harry Potter feel", the whole picture would have moved. Meanwhile, the "Homestar" object they use is always rigged to blink, and sometimes they've been known to forget when showing Homestar in in-universe photographs. If the sheep chewing grass in the paused KoT video is a Goof, then so is this. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
::With that explanation, it's more make-sense. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:::(PS. Actually, [[modeling]] would have been a better example, as the KoT's page doesn't split its facts, but yeah. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC))
::::I say it's not a goof, but a mystery. I watch Homestar flash movies with Firefox with a "pause flash" extension I use sometimes. And, bizarrely, Homestar's eyes blink ''even when the flash is paused''. --Hexagonal, an unregistered user.
:::::Yeah, it's because the loop of Homestar's Eyes blinking is a Flash movie clip, which animates continuously.  (See [[Homestar Runner#Homestar's Eyes|this]] for more information)  {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 23:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

its just like the wiki's homestar
:If TBC do something notable by accident, it's a goof. If TBC do something notable on purpose, then it's a remark. To me, using a blinking Homestar in a photo is clearly a deliberate attempt by TBC to slip in a little humour that most of their viewers won't spot straight away (since their attention is on something else). Hence, I'd describe it as a remark, not a goof. In fact, if I was allowed to be supreme emperor of the wiki for just one day, I would move all these blinking facts to Remarks. Please explain to me how TBC are "known to forget" about leaving this Flash movie clip in inappropiate places. Considering the amount of time they spend creating each animation, they'd easily notice this blinking movie clip and could simply swap it for a static image of Homestar's eyes if so desired. Do you have any transcripts of interviews where they specifically mention their habit of making this so-called mistake? If so, fine. If not, I stand by my rant. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:44, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::I see no humor in them doing it on purpose. It's a lot more believable and frankly, more likely that they forgot to swap out the animation, as it just uses the same flash object. Also, if you were supreme emperor for one day, then the day after that, there'd be a lot of reverting going on. But i digress. The point is, it's more likely unintentional, so unless we have an interview that says it's on PURPOSE, i think it should remain a goof. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I can see where it'd be humorous.  A better question, I think is, are there instances of Homestar being in static pictures where he doesn't blink?  (I don't know the answer)  If so, it's likely that this is a goof, but if he blinks ''every'' time he's in a picture, I think that that's evidence for it being intentional.  I don't think they'd forget so often.  Essentially, my question is, which happens more often: Pictures of Homestar blink, or they do not? -[[Special:Contributions/140.247.11.38|140.247.11.38]] 22:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::::And, having just checked the modeling example, since he blinks at one point, but not another, it's probably a goof. -[[Special:Contributions/140.247.11.38|140.247.11.38]] 22:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Of course it's humorous. What could be funnier than a photo of Homestar that blinks when such a thing is impossible in real life? In any case, it probably doesn't really matter that much if it's a remark or a goof, so long as it's on the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

== Oh, Yellow Crayon... ==

Is it just me, or did the "brellow crown" incident happen directly after the end of DNA Evidence? As Strong Sad walks in, he says to his crayon, "Oh, yellow crayon, only you know what REALLY happened!" (Maybe he means the crayon knows why the site was non-updated for so long, I don't know.) This just seems like a ref to me. Probably not though. User:WeirdAl 22:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

:::''{Edit Conflict twice}'' I would call it a reference if there was even the slightest mention of crayons in DNA evidence, but there is not.

I could've sworn that the yelow crayon was in strong sad's cardboard box in the dna evidence.

== Lumper? ==

I realize it's ambiguous, but am I the only person who heard "lumple" ?  It rhymes with dumple, and sounds adorable. I'm imagining a wee pre-duckshirt Homestar being positively cute and doing what a lumple does.
:Oh nevermind, they cleared it up in QOTW again! :)

== The "lack of visible arms" mystery perhaps deepens ==

Homestar demonstrates the primary uses of the brellow crown, and when the sheets of paper appear on screen, they come from the bottom and he waves the crown around them as though they're really in front of him, rather than them just being animated in front of him "in post".

So that's four objects total, manipulated at once, which I would think notable enough to be a "Remark" if we're all in agreement that he is in fact manipulating those objects. It breaks his record of three objects (is that his record?) in [[the_show|the show]]. (For those who don't feel like checking, he holds a mic, requiring one arm, and manipulates a small deck of cards, requiring two more.)

What does everybody else think? 
[[User:Psi|Psi]] 01:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

:Everything you say is true (Well, the show isn't the only time he's manipulated 3 things.  See the gross old wig).  Still, I dunno if it's notable enough. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 01:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I think that it's possible for him to use only three arms, by doing this:
::*Holding the brœllow crayon with one arm.
::*Picking up the toast drawing with another.
::*Picking up the "zornets" drawing with the third.
::*Transferring the "zornets" drawing from the third arm to the second (by using his... ''fingers?'').
::*Doing the same with the sun drawing.
::But still, he ''could'' be using four arms, to save him the trouble of shuffling the papers a bit. But he doesn't appear to have much trouble holding his papers, so I guess he's using four arms. So... never mind. But it's possible that he only used three arms! &mdash; {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 03:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's email address ==

I remember seeing homestar's email address in another toon, but I don't remember which. His character page doesn't mention his email address either. What is the significance of the dj-whatever? Should it be a fun fact in this article? --[[Special:Contributions/67.161.16.203|67.161.16.203]] 03:24, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Mumbling ==

I'm not sure if this should be added to the page, but it seemed to me that Homestar's mumbling in the colonial days scene was similar to the noises Homestar made when demonstrating the secret handshake of the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]].--[[Special:Contributions/151.197.125.35|151.197.125.35]] 05:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

:: But it sounds exactly the same. It is "mm hum hoom hoom hum HOOM", in the exact same tone. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 20:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
::: I was just thinking about this, and I'd have to say they are almost exactly alike. Listen to the Hremail, and then listen to the Broternal Order. You'll start to see the similarity after about 11 times. {{User:Corruption/sig}} 23:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

== Crowns ==

Homestar isn't really calling crayons "crowns," he's just pronouncing the word that way.  The crown spelling is probably most accurate for the transcript, but other references should be spelled properly (crayon).  That is, he says, "brellow crown," but he has a brellow crayon.  This is a somewhat common pronunciation of the word in certain areas of the US.  Google 'pronounce crayons crowns' (no quotes) and you'll see plenty of evidence.
:Agree.  No one calls crayons "crowns", but apparently a significant number of people (a few I've known personally) pronounce "crayon" such that it sounds that way. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.94|132.183.151.94]] 16:32, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::Yes. This is definately "crayons" pronounced with HR's accent. There's even a syllable in the making the finished word sound "cwou-ons" If it was "crowns" I would'nt have put that hyphen there.  {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 00:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I think it's just Homestar being Homestar. Not really makes a lot of sense, but to Homestar... <_< >_> {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 00:28, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
::::When I was very young, I took music classes from this one guy. It was a LONG time ago, so I don't remember much (but then again, I can't remember a lot of things :P). But I DO remember a few things: I listened to Radio Disney on the drive there; there was a Domino's Pizza nearby; one time Fantasia was playing in the waiting room and I saw the monks holding candles walking through the forest, which was the Ave Maria part; ''''the teacher liked to pronounce "crayons" "crowns".''''' {{User:Neox/sig}} 04:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I agree with MichaelXX2. It's not just a mispronunciation; Homestar is substituting a word with a different word which sounds similar, just like "light globes." [[User:MenacingBanjo|MenacingBanjo]] 16:22, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
dosent anyone remember the sbemail coloring? in marzipan's *cough* cult *cough* homestar called them crowns. i think he thinks they are called crowns
::::::Also, the crayons have crowns printed on them. Not sure if that makess any difference as to whether it's a brand called 'Crowns' or he says it that way. Although in Coloring, when Homestar said 'Crowns' Strong Bad corrected him, which probably means he's just saying it that way.

== smooth mouth ==

I noticed that sometimes Homestar's mouth closes more smoothly. Does this count as a character design update? [[Image:Hsr smallmouth.png|thumb|New design?]] {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 20:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's Computer ==

:: We've discussed this in [[secret identity|another toon]], and it's just as incorrect here as it was then. Rule of thumb:
::* If you can replace "[person] and I" with "us", then it should be "me". If with "we", then it should be "I". ("Last up on the tour is this photo of we"???)
::* If you remove "person" from the sentence, then the pronoun will remain the same. ("Last up on the tour is this photo of I"???)

::::Perhaps, but the imaginary grammar rule that Homestar "followed" is considered correct by enough people, and there is no joke associated with his incorrect usage, that I think it was more likely TBC's mistake, not Homestar's.

== Twenty Twelve ==

It's been added to the page at least twice, so let me just squish this annoying little "fact": first of all, there's no evidence that the Mayans believed the world would end in 2012; that's just how far their calendar went (for reasons similar to the fact 2000 is significant; ie. numerical reasons, not actual ''significance'' reasons.) Secondly, the calendar ends in ''December'' of 2012, not July! And one more thing: it has nothing to do with this toon.

::Personally, I wouldn't put it past the creators to have Homestar create a park featuring dinosaurs which would be "extinct" later that year.  The relevance isn't about what the Mayans did or didn't believe.  It's about what some people believe today (whether or not they have evidence to back it up).  It's popular knowledge and it's not out of the question that the creators would use it.  Having said that, if it was a joke referring to the Mayan calendar, it could have been set up better, like setting it in November.

To begin: Any arguments about pronunciation are '''moot''': "&oelig;" can be pronounced as a soft "E" (and its ''other'' correct pronunciation is as a long "E" - you basically never pronounce it as if it has an "O".) So don't argue that point. Argue instead on your own preference: "br&oelig;llow" is closer to what's written on the crayon, while "brellow" is easier to write. Me? Undecided, I just want the Wiki to ''pick one and stick with it''. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:I say we stick to what's written on the crayon. '''br&oelig;llow''' We have plenty of redirects in place for people to get to it without the &oelig;. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::But the crayon only really says "br&oelig;llow" when you're horribly scaled in... at normal zoom levels, it's just "br[tiny sliver of o]ellow". There's also the question of what is least likely to confuse the reader... especially, for the subtitles, a reader who hasn't heard it being said aloud. And despite what you say, the fact is that "&oelig;" (or, for that matter, "oe") in English to represent a short "e" is all but extinct... even it representing a long "e" is going out of fashion, and most readers will associate "oe" with words like "foe" or "shoe" or any of the other pronunciations which ''do'' pronounce the "o". Now, I'd go for "&oelig;" if the toon made any reference to it being that... any jokes, or even mention it at all... but it doesn't. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:::I'm with Phlip, basically for the sake of keeping it simple. I'd be totally cool with noting on the article that it can be seen as saying "br&oelig;llow" (depending on how closely you bother looking), but the default might as well be the more obvious spelling. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::::Not that i'm happy with it, but i'd propose a compromise where when it's actually spoken about like in a quote or transcript of subtitles it says "brellow" while when we're just writing ABOUT it it says "br&oelig;llow". The crayon is LABELED "br&oelig;llow" and that's how it should be presented when written. I'm also betting that if the flash is decompiled that under the yellow line it actually says "&oelig;". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, can you do that decompliation?  Anyway, I'd prefer brellow.  It's much simpler and easier for the reader.-[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 18:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::I don't have either a decompiler, or a computer i can install one on. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::[[Image:Brellow pieces.png|thumb|right|Mathematically proven]] Nope. It's just the text "BROWN", with the right half covered by the yellow shape, and the word "YELLOW" (which has been converted to a shape, and its left part erased... possibly by hand, possibly flattened by the Flash compiler automatically removing a mask or something). I don't think having it be spelled differently in the transcripts and elsewhere is the right solution... consistency is important, having two standards for the spelling will only be confusing. I think it should be "Brellow" everywhere, but I agree with Heimi, that I wouldn't be opposed to a Trivia item that mentioned "Br&oelig;llow". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Seeing as they don't use the OE thing in the actual flash object, I don't think we should in our transcripts either. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 21:17, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I know when i've been beat. Brellow it is! Just have it noted SOMEwhere that it could be oelig'd please. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:22, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

== Desire Man? ==

Anyone remember [[Sbemail 150?!?]]? Just watched it again, and noticed that in Strong Sad's storyboards, Homestar (as Desire Man) was wearing a round-ed star, just like the one in this toon. Is this possibly an inside reference?
:Looks to me like the Sbemail 150 star had more points than the one in this toon. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 05:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Video Corrupt? ==

Anyone else notice that this video is corrupt?

:It's on [[HRWiki:Toon loading problems|this page]] already, so yes. &mdash;[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]] 02:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

== Honeymoon photo blinks?! ==

Did anybody notice that the picture of Homestar blinks on the photo?
