Transcribing

Can I make the transcript for this one? Seriously ^(Talk) 01:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I was gonna, but go ahead. I call next one for sure (unless it comes out while I'm not home). Salty^Talk! 01:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I gotta go to bed. Sadly enough, you can have it. Seriously ^(Talk) 01:28, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Can I do one? Riley

I call next one after Riley's! Or, at least, I'll split it with somebody. --אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)

Okay, I guess ACupofCoffee is just gonna edit conflict me and take over. Salty^Talk! 02:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. This talk page was a red link and nobody else had claimed it with {{inprogress}}, so I just went on ahead. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 03:25, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Ohhhhh, nevermind. I thought Seriously did the beginnings. I thought you started around the Bubs part. Nevermind then. I still get next one. Salty^Talk! 03:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Reference

Someone stuff this, I think rouge on josh pot pie is a reference to chicken pot pie. Riley

There are different types of pot pie you know, even though the only one I can actually name is chicken pot pie. — Has Matt? (talk) 01:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'll do this one. Riley can do next week's. Salty^Talk! 02:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

It's "Rogan Josh" pot pie. Lamb curry. Yum.

Seconded. I think I'll have to get Indian food for lunch today. Also, Rogan Josh is not normally (or ever, as far as I can tell) served in a pot pie. But it does sound good. Aaronstj 18:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Bathroom

Should we include the bathroom where SS is shaving as a place? I mean, it did appear in the email. -Marth 99 02:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me, or did I totally miss SS shaving? I only saw him brushing his teeth... -Jonnny 03:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I think hes thinking of experemental film where he shaved. but in this one he did brush his teeth. Dagger (^talk · _edits) 04:03, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Exactly what I was thinking. Great jorb. --MrsCommanderson 21:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Dump in the night

Does anyone else think "Things that go Dump in the Night" is also a reference to Saddy Dumpington?

I'd say it's more just a reference to the tendency for Strong Bad to use the word "dump" in describing Strong Sad. Heimstern Läufer 03:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, Strong Bad uses "dump" to describe Strong Sad all the time... "Dumpus" in autobiography, "biggest waste of dump" in record book... The list goes on. --DorianGray

"DJ Dumpy Dump" in rampage, "El Dumpo" in dangeresque 3... That's about all, actually. --DorianGray

Human & Pet

- Could "Lugnut & Squeak" also reference Turner & Hooch, Lilo & Stitch, Tango & Cash, or Harry & Tonto? --S Gleason 04:03, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The fact that you were able to think of that many examples means this is probably TTATOT; i.e., since it could be a reference to many things, it's probably a reference to nothing. Heimstern Läufer 04:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please tell me what the heck TTATOT stands for? ~Bruce

This, that and the other thing. it means it is too vague to be a reference. csours 21:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Danke schön, Heimstern Läufer! --S Gleason 04:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Bitte schön. Heimstern Läufer 04:08, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Im not suggesting that this be STUFFed, but 'Lugnut & Squeak' do have the same beginning letters as "Lilo and Stitch" and kinda the same sound, but the characters arent really similar, so its more of a genre thing than a reference...(it is too:late AM here, sry if i not making sense) csours 08:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Interesting

An annony recently suggested that Strong Bad's reading the sender's name as "Grossman" might be a reference to the fact that this is Email #144, i.e., one gross. I felt this had to be a coincidence, so I removed the reference, but I thought it was an interesting enough coincidence to be worth mentioning here on the talk page. Heimstern Läufer 05:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I suggest it also, especially considering that there are several 'gross' references in the email->grossman (+gross easter egg), groaty (sp?) ethnic food, gross octopus, gross boogers on the napkin snotballs, gross relationship stuff (possible double entendre dork reference there, but thats too tenuous for even mentioning), gross dead goose. poopsmith... nuff said. csours 07:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, that's three people who have favored this reference. I guess it's worthy of a STUFFing. See you at the polls. Heimstern Läufer 07:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

French or Canadian Accent

The statement regarding "Whatzeet all aboot" being a French or Canadian accented version of "What's it all about" is a fairly obtuse observation. It is analagous to dubbing a Southern accent or New York accent as being American. I have yet to meet a Canadian who says "Whatzeet". Also, pronouncing the word "about" as "aboot" is not a national phenomonon. I can't vouch for the French, but I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't say "aboot" either.

Fun Facts- Inside references- nebulon's style

marzipan alien cow says she admires nebulon's style, not that she likes it. is this a reference to the kind of thing that people say when they break up, ie I admire your convictions, but you're a weirdo. csours 08:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

To say you admire something means you like it. Using your example, "I admire your convictions, but you're a weirdo." is the same thing as saying "I like your convictions, but you're a weirdo." So yes, she does, in effect, say that she likes Nebulon's style. ~Bruce

I still disagree, but i wont change it. csours 21:11, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Grossman Easter Egg

Since I haven't seen it noted anywhere... it may be worth noting that the "Grossman" Strong Badman easter egg wasn't there originally. I saved the flash file shortly after the toon was put up, and... well, it ain't there. Just felt like mentioning that... -YK 08:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Stick a Fork in Me

Homestar's apron is not a reference to "Kiss the Cook" aprons. The apron "Stick a Fork in Me" exists and is available for purchase wherever cookingwear is sold. 65.221.152.120 12:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC) Komo

The phrase is part of the larger phrase "Stick a fork in me, I'm done." When said like this, it basically means "I'm tired", and is a fairly popular Southern phrase. It of course refers to cooking and barbecuing, where you typically stick a fork in a piece of meat to get a feel for how "done" it is. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Homsar floating

I'm thinking the scene where homsar is floating sideways should be the main image at the top of the artickle. Can someone load it up? Seriously ^(Talk) 14:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that's the best idea. The guy isn't even on screen for three seconds before they cut away. -Marth 99 19:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Then can someone upload it anyway? I need it for my userpage. Seriously ^(Talk) 19:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Three weeks in a row

Strong Bad is right secret identity "It's "nym!" "nym!" psedo"nym!" technology "They're both floppy disks"

Coincidentally, all three of these incidents of Strong Sad correcting Strong Bad were all in easter eggs. Proposed fun fact, anyone?--Jnelson09 19:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I was surprised that this wasn't already on the page, so I added it. — It's dot com 20:02, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Valid running gag/inside joke?

I just noticed that something in this email just might be a running gag... Somebody opposing Homestar's fashion. Marzipan opposed his hat, Strong Sad opposed his "Cool Shades" in Cool Things, and the old story for flashback concerns that. And maybe perhaps the email the bet with Homestar being "cool." I don't know, what do you think? --MrsCommanderson 21:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Sounds possible. "Homestar's Fashion Sense" or something like that? You could also lump in his "ridiculous stripe-ed pants" in highschool. :) —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 21:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Guess Nebulon's not the only one whose style no one likes, yeah? --DorianGray

So would it be an inside joke or running gag? I'll make the page once you tell me!--MrsCommanderson 21:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
