The Stick, whose name includes an integral article, is the place in an otherwise nondescript grassy area in which a largish stick is poking out of the ground. It is typically referenced as a meeting point, especially by Strong Bad and his cohorts. It is unclear as to whether it is just a stick in the ground, or a prematurely dead tree. Sometimes, The Stick participates in the festivities, such as being a Decemberween tree, being dressed up for Halloween, or even being placed on a snowman. Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat have considered it an excellent place to hang out ever since they drove Homestar Runner and his Bread Sing-Alongs away from the area, as related in origins. Nonetheless, for reasons that are unclear, Strong Bad expresses hatred for The Stick and its "stupid face" in Jibblies 2 (though it may have just been because of the costume). In Strong Badia the Free, The Stick briefly became a minor country known as Sticktenstein. In Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, it plays the last surviving specimen of the Stickanee Tree, whose flower is needed for a formula to save the rainforest. Later, Strong Bad as Dangeresque has to cut off a piece of The Stick so that he can get another flower for Sultry Buttons.
