		+	=== Ropes are for dopes ===
		+	{{stufffact\|Strong Sad says that "Ropes are for dopes" is a quote from the legendary folk hero he made up, but neither ropes nor dopes are mentioned in the story itself.}}
		+	{{stuffdata\|[[A Folky Tale]]\|05:37, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)}}
		+
		+	{{stuffargsfor}}
		+	*It's odd that he used the quote as a transition to tell his story and then never mentioned it in the story itself. He used "passing out for the rest of their lives" to transition back to the rope.
		+
		+	{{stuffargsagainst}}
		+	Climbing ropes made Strong Sad think of the Saddy Dumpington quote. Thinking of a Saddy quote reminded Strong Sad of a Saddy story. It just doesn't follow that the quote has* to be part of the story.
		+	**This behavior is also in keeping with "folk tale" culture; c.f. the somewhat ADD Simon Wheeler in Mark Twain's [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/10947/10947.txt\|The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County]: "... if I asked old Wheeler about <nowiki>[Leonidas Smiley]</nowiki>, it would remind him of his infamous _Jim Smiley_, and he would go to work and bore me to death with some exasperating reminiscence of him..."
		+	*He also just jumps right in and says that climbing the rope will make him pass out, when that had nothing to do with the reason the townfolk passed out. Therefore, this odd arrangement of Strong Sad's memory is a recurring thing, not a one time goof.
		+	*The tale presented in the toon may not be Strong Sad's only tale about Saddy Dumpington, and the quote might come from elsewhere... but he used this tale instead to explain who Saddy Dumpington was.
		+	*As if anything on homestarrunner.com has to flow anyway?
		+	*Since when has Strong Sad's thought process been anywhere near normal?
		+
		+	{{stuffcomments}}
		+	<!--* list-->
		+	*If the quote reminded him of a different Saddy Dumpington story, why did he tell ''this'' one?
		+	** Because this is the story that explains who Saddy Dumpington is. That does not mean that the story includes every famous quote of his.
		+	**When people get confused by "Are you asking for a challenge?!?" I link them to [[japanese cartoon]], despite the fact that that phrase isn't used until [[20X6 vs. 1936]]... linking to 20X6 vs. 1936 still wouldn't explain who Stinkoman was.
		+	*Why is this still here? It's been over a week and has been accepted, if by a slight majority.
		+	**Fun facts which are close stay for two weeks.

		+	*It's odd that he used the quote as a transition to tell his story and then never mentioned it in the story itself. He used "passing out for the rest of their lives" to transition back to the rope.
		+
		+	{{stuffargsagainst}}
		+	Climbing ropes made Strong Sad think of the Saddy Dumpington quote. Thinking of a Saddy quote reminded Strong Sad of a Saddy story. It just doesn't follow that the quote has* to be part of the story.
		+	**This behavior is also in keeping with "folk tale" culture; c.f. the somewhat ADD Simon Wheeler in Mark Twain's [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/10947/10947.txt\|The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County]: "... if I asked old Wheeler about <nowiki>[Leonidas Smiley]</nowiki>, it would remind him of his infamous _Jim Smiley_, and he would go to work and bore me to death with some exasperating reminiscence of him..."
		+	*He also just jumps right in and says that climbing the rope will make him pass out, when that had nothing to do with the reason the townfolk passed out. Therefore, this odd arrangement of Strong Sad's memory is a recurring thing, not a one time goof.
		+	*The tale presented in the toon may not be Strong Sad's only tale about Saddy Dumpington, and the quote might come from elsewhere... but he used this tale instead to explain who Saddy Dumpington was.
		+	*As if anything on homestarrunner.com has to flow anyway?
		+	*Since when has Strong Sad's thought process been anywhere near normal?

		+	*If the quote reminded him of a different Saddy Dumpington story, why did he tell ''this'' one?
		+	** Because this is the story that explains who Saddy Dumpington is. That does not mean that the story includes every famous quote of his.
		+	**When people get confused by "Are you asking for a challenge?!?" I link them to [[japanese cartoon]], despite the fact that that phrase isn't used until [[20X6 vs. 1936]]... linking to 20X6 vs. 1936 still wouldn't explain who Stinkoman was.
		+	*Why is this still here? It's been over a week and has been accepted, if by a slight majority.
		+	**Fun facts which are close stay for two weeks.
