HRWiki:over STUFF'd
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Revision as of 19:40, 2 May 2005
The following fun facts have gone through the STUFF process.
impression
What year is it?
The form for the penmanship contest says 2004 Sectional Finals, however, the sign for the contest
said 2003.
VERDICT: This goof has been accepted. The discussion can be found at Talk:impression.
-Upset_Your_Balance 16 Apr 2005
- ATTENTION GafAddict and Upset Your Balance and any other VERIDCTers - The standard voting
period is 2 weeks. Please do not close any items that are newer than that that. In other words,
check the first vote, if it's less than two weeks old, DON'T TOUCH IT! Also, if you're going to
VERDICT an item, please sign your name and date as though you were signing a vote (two hyphens and
four tildes)
- I think this one is a special case. It was STUFFed based on a false assumption. But I didn't
VERDICT it, so... --Jay 14:12, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- GafAddict did a few a day or so ago, and I've seen others get VERDICT'd well before the two week
period. Also, whoever does it needs to sign it, so I figured I'd post it.
- I have added my name and the date to the verdict. (Yes, it was me.) I'm not sure of the exact time
of the verdicting though. And as Jay said, because it was STUFFed based on a false assumption, I put
it back and verdicted it early. For other STUFF'd items, the VERDICT shall wait two weeks.
flashback
Discount Flashback Warehouse
In the Discount Flashback Warehouse easter egg, Strong Bad sounds a lot like Senor Cardgage. In
fact, the whole easter egg resembles the Senor Cardgage Mortgage toon.

rampage
Poetic chops
Ironically, while Strong Sad glorifies iambic pentameter, his creation is a pretty bad example of
it. He twists the stresses on "lyric rampage," properly pronounced LY-ric RAM-page (a pair of
trochees), into ly-RIC ram-PAGE (a pair of iambs).
Verdict: After two weeks of voting, this fact was Accepted by a score of 8-4. The fact
is re-posted on rampage, and the discussion has been moved to Talk:rampage.
--acekirby13 19:31, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Strong Sad, Charles Barkley, and Ruben Studdard...long lost triplets?
Strong Bad's insult of "round mound of gray fatness" towards Strong Sad could be derived in part
from the nickname of former NBA player Charles Barkley, the "Round
Mound of Rebound." Also, Ruben Studdard, who won American Idol in 2003
and bears more than a slight resemblance to Strong Sad in shape, is sometimes known as the "Round
Mound of Sound."
VERDICT: This fact has been rejected. The discussion has been moved to Talk:rampage --
tomstiff 18:53, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Dumpy Dump sat on a wall
Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "DJ Dumpy Dump" could be a combination reference to the rappers DJ
Jazzy Jeff and Humpty Hump (who Coach Z once dressed up as for Halloween). It may also be a
reference to rapper Doug E. Doug.
Verdict: After two weeks of voting, the Humpty Hump reference has been Accepted, while
all the others have been Declined. Discussion moved to Talk:rampage.
--acekirby13 19:30, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Wite Wrapper

tomstiff 18:27, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

VERDICT: This fact has been rejected. The discussion has been moved to Talk:rampage --
tomstiff 18:29, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

tomstiff 14:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
More Pie, Anyone?
"The pie's the limit" may be refering to Strong Bad's wednesday pie motivational talks in [[other
days]].

--acekirby13 19:25, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
time capsule
Norse mythology
The line about making people from spit may be a reference to a Norse myth, in which the Aesir (war
gods) and Vanir (fertility gods), to seal a peace treaty between them, made a man (named Braugi)
from their collective spit. He knew all their combined secrets, but was eventually killed by giants.
VERDICT: This fact was rejected. The discussion has been moved to Talk:time capsule --

blue background. It has not been used on the Lappy thusfar.

moved to Talk:spring cleaning
Homestarloween Party
CREEPING floating DEATH flashlight
When everyone is telling ghost stories, no one actually holds the flashlight with his or her hands.
It just sort of floats in front of everyone. With Homestar, Marzipan, and the King of Town, this
makes sense, since none of them have visible hands, but we should see everybody else's hands.
Verdict: After two weeks of voting, this fact was unanimously Declined. Discussion moved
to Talk:Homestarloween Party. --acekirby13 19:31,

Fhqwhgads
Not Expecting
Fhqwhgads actually just sent the Email as a joke. It was not intended to be used. However,
Fhqwhgads, whose personal information will not be revealed because of a request not to, did say this
in an AIM conversation: "I didn't spoof a virus. I just loved him [Strong Bad]. A virus was the
exact opposite of what I wanted to be." If you don't believe this, you can contact him-his AIM
screename is IamFHQWHGADS142. (He has pride that he is Fhqwhgads) -TK600
VERDICT: This item was closed on request by the author. See below for a new version of this
fun fact. Voting moved to Talk:Fhqwhgads--Posted by -erson 01:27, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The joke theory
It's been theorized that this [that the email was a spoof of the "i love you" virus] is not true. A
person claiming to be Fhqwhgads said he actually just sent the Email as a joke, and that it was not
intended to be used. "I didn't spoof a virus," he said, "I just loved him [Strong Bad]. A virus was
the exact opposite of what I wanted to be." However, due to a concern about personal provacy, he
would not give any information. -TakuaKaita600 17:36, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
VERDICT: This fact has been rejected. The discussion has been moved to Talk:Fhqwhgads --

Homestar's "Arms"
Unless Homestar is holding the microphone under his armpit when he is reciting his list, this is
another one of those times when it's questionable as to how many invisible arms he has: he holds the
microphone in one hand, his cards in the other, and flips them over each other all at the same time.
Verdict: After two weeks of voting, this fact was overwhelmingly Declined. Discussion
moved to Talk:the show. --acekirby13 12:15, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
suntan
Marzipan's Parasol

After a week of unanimous declines, this Fun Fact has been closed. The votes for this fun fact can
be seen at the talk page of suntan.

tomstiff 14:08, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
techno
Silent J
Strong Bad might have said "Oh very clever" after reading the name Silent J because it could be a
reference to Jay and Silent Bob, a pair of recurring characters from Kevin Smith's movies. It also may be clever because it's referring to the concept of a silent letter
(for example, one would say "the word 'jalapeno' has a silent J"), and making reference to Silent
Bob at the same time.

A grill, a doghouse, a trash can, an igloo and the TARDIS
The spacious interior of The Cheat's house may be a reference to Snoopy's house from the Peanuts
comics. It also looked small and ordinary on the outside, but was very large and luxurious on the
inside, housing, among other things, his prized Van Gogh. It might also be a reference to Oscar the
Grouch's trash can (from Sesame Street), which is also small on the outside, but contains a swimming
pool and a number of other facilities within. It could also be a reference to the Nickelodeon show
Doug, where his smart dog's (Porkchop) igloo is WAY roomier than it looked. Or even the TARDIS from
Dr Who...

Length Of Grabbo Arm
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and
the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is
about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement.

It's odd considering...
It's odd considering Homestar went to bed on the 23rd and didn't wake up till decemberween that his
tear-away calender was on the 25th. He obviosly didn't change it because he was sleeping.

"state trooper"
Homsar's line "You're a real state trooper" is a commonly mistaken lyric from the song Straight
Shooter by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric is "You're a real straight shooter." [[User:
