HOMESTAR RUNNER: Bo-ring!

{Homestar walks off to the left}

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Trivia

• Legal.txt (the text version) is the only page on the site that is a text file.

[edit] Remarks

• Resizing the browser window on the Flash file to view the left side outside of the frame shows a small counter on the top left. It will count from 0 to 25 in small black type up until Homestar appears. After Homestar leaves, it goes back to 0 and stays there.
  • The 25 denotes 25 loops of frames 5-9 of the animation. Instead of making the legal "toon" unnecessarily long by having nearly 15 seconds of nothing, they simply looped the first few frames of the toon 25 times. Once it reaches 25, the toon is allowed to continue to Homestar's entrance, and then ends.
• In multiple sections of the document, there are references to collecting the user's email address for an "update newsletter". This newsletter no longer exists, and is not to be confused with The Deleteheads Download.

[edit] Goofs

• "That" is spelled incorrectly (as "tht") under the "cookies" section.
• In the "Security" section, "while information" is missing a space in the second paragraph.

[edit] Glitches

• In the Flash file (as opposed to the text file), neither the scroll bar nor the scroll buttons allow viewing the entire terms of use; the page stops a couple of lines before Jurisdictional Issues. However, highlighting the text and dragging downward or using the mouse's scroll wheel reveals the bottom of the page. This glitch does not affect all viewers.

[edit] Fast Forward

• Homestar says the same "Bo-ring!" line in Arcade Game and a re-recorded version in the FBI warning on disc one of the strongbad_email.exe DVD.

[edit] External Links

• view the Legal page on the old Flash site
• view the Flash file for the Legal page
• view the text version
