Talk:Weekly Fanstuff

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 07:34, 1 July 2005

The chet is fune. That's gotta be the most awesome fanstuff ever! I hope general comments are okay... -- AgentSeethroo 15:17, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

I don't know, we might want to have a designated section heading for them. Like "mindless chatter" or something. -- Tom 15:29, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

Where'd that be? On this page? "Witty Banter" would be funny...but it's usually not witty... *sigh*. -- AgentSeethroo 16:01, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

Yeah, I mean a general heading that would be used on a discussion page if someone just wants to leave a comment like you did. I don't want to encourage it though. And we've always called it "mindless chatter" in the disclaimer. -- Tom 16:22, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

Anyone have the pleh jallegiance screen shot? -- cyco

Yes, I had it archived on my computer for several months now (unknowingly, no doubt), and only yesterday did I realise I had it available all this time...and I had yet to see it here on the wiki. The flag of strongbadia (in all its glory) can now be seen in weekly fanstuff! --Teh P. 22:07, 3 Oct 2004 (MST)

What are homestar meltymen? -- Mithent 09:41, 1 Oct 2004 (MST)

Almost 100% sure "sweetchucks" means Sweet Chuck Taylor's .. because the shoes are Converse, a brand by Chuck Taylor. -- EMJS

Cardboard Tube link

I've removed the link to obeythetube.com from the Trogdor Stand-up cabinet listing. Some of the images in their "images" section look similar to the cabinet, but I wasn't able to find that particular image anywhere. Perhaps the image was just created using the same software? Does anyone have any information regarding this website and its images? -- Tom 17:11, 5 Oct 2004 (MST)

It's definately there. Go to images => mapojects => old school arcade. They have a bunch or arcade cabinets, including the exact trogdor image. --209.51.90.71 10:49, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)

Indeed it is, linked to from this page: arcade_trogdor.jpg. Well done. -- Tom 12:40, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)

Dates

Are these dates positive, or do I just remember "sweetchucks" being before "The Cheat in a Crisper Drawer"? -- FireBird|_Talk

As far as I know, they're accurate. — InterruptorJones[[]]

They are all correct. -- Tom 13:58, 10 Nov 2004 (MST)

I must have bad memory skills. Whatever that means. -- FireBird|_Talk

Possiblity for a table?

A number of the images in this article are rather large and a few are off-site images. Nevertheless, does anyone else think that the weekly fanstuff article is a candidate for a table? I believe Tom implemented a nice table, very recently, on a similiar article over at Sketchbook, and I just wanted to know if anyone else thought that it would be a good idea? I could help with the image uploading if a few others think it might work. --Teh P. 22:50, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

I've converted it to a table. All that needs to be done now is for the images to be described in the fourth collum there. -- Tom 12:43, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)

Skullcap

Is it just me or did they totally miss out on the "homestarmukle"???

Homestar Skullcap, what kinda name is that?

That's what TBC decided to name it, mystery poster. Appears to be a 'yarmulka' to me. "Skullcap" is a just a more neutral (politically correct) word for the same garment. --Teh P. 23:09, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Heh, I suppose the political-correctness is an issue, but I thought it was a great funny that got passed up. : ) I'm a long-time hrwiki lurker. --Aegd

Hey So that is my head and my Yarmulke. I didnt think anyone would get Homestarmulke. But how awesome.

Shouldn't this description read something like "Homestar on a yarmulka (Jewish skullcap)"? The skullcap mushroom description is flat-out incorrect. -- random lurker

Archival

This page should be archived periodically to prevent it from getting too long. Once a month mayhaps? - Drhaggis 00:47, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

I agree. Perhaps we can have a poll on the forums for choosing the best time increment to archive? --The Paper 20:40, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

Message to TBC from Jonathan Howe

Be sure to view the XML source of this file: [1]

I learned about this XML file when I was poking through these flash files: [2] & [3] when I found I couldn't view the image or the text when those two preceding files are saved remotely (i.e., on a hard drive.) Jonathan (I assume his last name is Howe, as he is a programmer) has left a message in a comment to the "Chapos" about the placement of certain "character shortcuts." He more or less 'signs' the comment with the words "Love, jonathan." I just found this rather amusing. Does anyone else? --The Paper 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

Alt text

Please leave the alt text for the images as the exact text that appears in the images. This is for easier and better searching. Thanks. -- Tom 13:19, 16 Jan 2005 (MST)

Dennis

Just a side note that the Dennis sign is cut off, below Dennis is probally "Willows Rd." or stuff like that. Not that un-common for roads to be nammed after people in the USA. Just for those that don't realize. - Mick
