Welcome to the [[HRWiki:User space|user page]] of '''Joey Day'''. Many people ask me if JoeyDay is some kind of codename or if it means something clever. Sometimes I wish I could say yes, but it’s actually my boring old real name, short for Joseph Nathan Day. Another common misconception is that I must be from Australia, as some have inferred from my [http://www.joeyday.com/images/joeydaycom.png kangaroo-crossing logo]. The kangaroo connection actually stems from my first name, as joey is also the proper term for a [[Wikipedia:Joey (marsupial)|baby marsupial]].

Joey Day
My current stress level: Just fine.

Welcome to the user page of Joey Day. Many people ask me if JoeyDay is some kind of codename or if it means something clever. Sometimes I wish I could say yes, but it’s actually my boring old real name, short for Joseph Nathan Day. Another common misconception is that I must be from Australia, as some have inferred from my kangaroo-crossing logo. The kangaroo connection actually stems from my first name, as joey is also the proper term for a baby marsupial.

About me

I am the proprietor of the Homestar Runner Wiki. I started the Wiki on October 7, 2003 and still technically own it, though I prefer to think of it as community property. I am not The Brothers Chaps, nor am I related to them in any way (yes, people have asked me this).

I don’t mind answering questions about the Wiki, but I get a little swamped sometimes. It’s best to direct support questions to the entire administrator team at support@hrwiki.org or post them at the FAQ talk page.

My Homestar Runner experience

I was introduced to Homestar Runner shortly after Strong Bad Email 51, “website”, was released (circa Nov. 18, 2002). Web-design has been one of my hobbies for a while and a friend of mine knew that toon would resonate with me. It’s still one of my favorite emails. Other favorites include “the basics”, “superhero name”, “guitar”, “techno”, “japanese cartoon”, “english paper”, “caffeine”, “different town”, “flashback”, “virus”, “do over”, “lady...ing”, “bedtime story”, “space program”, “technology”, “pop-up”, and “isp”.

I own the complete set of four Strong Bad Email DVDs, the Strong Bad Sings CD, a Trogdor polo, and a Stinkoman blue ringer tee. I’d really like a Kick the Cheat, but those suckers are expensive. The Everything Else DVDs and the Support the Municipality t-shirt are also on my wishlist.
