==Delete?==
I'm not sure this warrants a page. Yes, it would be interesting if the 2 in the html file name would be a secret hint at a first version/episode. But it's most likely an internal version of the toon. They just weren't happy with the first version, made a second one and were just too lazy to rename the files. Who knows how many toons on the site are second, third, fourth, fifth versions of the initial draft? It doesn't matter because the version that TBC put online is the one they deem good enough for us to watch, and the discarded ones were just work in progress. It may be notable that there aren't rogue 3's or 4's in file names, but it doesn't warrant its own page.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:35, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

:'''Del Taco it'''. It's kind of interesting, but I agree with Loafing. Will people really want to go to this page? I only stumbled upon this page by accident while trawling through varying toons' pages while bored.{{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 05:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

::::Maybe it was meant to be the same version, but the small variations are just something the Chaps put in because it's newer. I even spotted some minor changes in young strong bad and strong sad's look, also. [[User:origonalname]]

== Strong Bad annoys himself? ==

I listened to it a dozen times and while Strong Bad is drilling into the brick after talking about other imaginary friends it sounds like he says "Strong Bad and Scotty titi..." instead of "Strong Sad and Scotty titi...". Am I just crazy? {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 13:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
: <strike>Yes, yes you are. And I mean this is the maybe-nicest way I can put it.</strike> Oh my crap! You're right. I was listening for what I thought was the next likely word, not for what was actually said. Sorry, man.

== Cosistency? ==
Am I the only one who knows for a fact that Trogdor didn't exist in the time of Lil' Stro Bro? Seems retconned to me. Inconsistency, anyone? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 13:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
:Perhaps Trogdor used to exist in Lil' Strong Bad's mind until [[dragon]], during which he drew him onto paper (albiet requiring a second attempt). Many cartoonists think up ideas for new characters years before they actually drawn the initial concept sketches. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Didnt Strong Mad have a Trogdor poster in this email?

This is probably a stupid thought, but since it doesn't actually ''say'' TROGDOR on the poster in Strong Mad's room, (it says PUBERTY) perhaps Strong Bad ripped off Trogdor from that dragon? Or maybe subconciously drew the same thing based off his childhood memory of it? I know, kind of far fetched. --[[Special:Contributions/76.248.84.243|76.248.84.243]] 15:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
: The imagination version was a half man, half dragon. i think it was just something not well though through by the Chaps. [[User:origonalname]]]

== Owies! ==
Gron Sad has a patch over his "Belly Button". Is this because he had a hole drilled there in [[origins]]? That's the only reason I see, and that was my first reaction. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 13:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
:You are correct, Sir. It seems TBC were fortunate enough to remember this important fact. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
:At least they remembered one fact. [[User:origonalname]]

== Hyphen-have? ==

This e-mail features the word "friend-have". It somewhat reminds me of "[[Coach Z's 110%|VCR-have]]". Is that notable yet? [[Special:Contributions/99.142.19.40|99.142.19.40]] 15:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

::It seems like "sense-make" falls into this same pattern. Dunno what to call it though, but i'm sure there are plenty of others. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Imaginary Friends ==
Should we make articles for all the minor ones, or just group them together somehow? [[Imaginary Friends]] page? {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 15:57, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== too much "we" ==

I noticed there are two sentences in the script which need rewording: "We pans down to Lil' Strong Bad"''[/sic]'' and "We pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slice". Would the correct form for those be "Pan down to (...)" or how should that be rephrased? I wanted to reword it myself, but I didn't really know what would be better. --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 17:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

==Titi on Scotty Titi==
This is a reference to peeing.
: I think that's what the joke was implied to be. I'm going to add it to this email's and the peeing article. The main reason I say so is his lower body isn't shown and he exclaims "Oh no! My new boots!". Also titi/peepee. Kind of rhymes, and Strong Bad seems to say "titi" as if that wasn't what he really meant.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 01:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:: Is it possible that Strong Bad says: "Titi, on Scotty ''P''ti?" Does anyone else hear this? --[[User:Rotanagol|Rotanagol]] 14:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Sad being very content... ==

He seems to be smiling QUITE a lot in this flashback. Is that noteworthy for the "Strong Sad Smiling" article, since the "Secrets That I Keep" stuff is noteworthy?
:Maybe the reason is because he has a friend. He never has any friends in the modern times, which could be why he's so depressed. [[User:origonalname]]

== Old Field? ==

Is it worth mentioning that in the flashback with Lil Strong Bad drilling a hole in a brick at the Stick, the bushes in the background are in their original "half circle" style?--[[Special:Contributions/24.34.9.24|24.34.9.24]] 04:31, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== I said consummate v's! ==
Does Lil Strong Bad's T-Shirt have the dragon design that Coach Z drew?
:Hey, it IS Wormdingler! it looks like those cartoony drawings they make for kids t-shirts. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
::It is '''not''' Wormdingler. It has legs. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== King Sad? ==

Is it just me, or do the bandages on Strong Sad's belly look like the ones on King Hippo (from Punch-Out!)? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 22:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:Both are examples of stereotypical cartoon bandages though, and we all remember how SS got his belly button... {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 22:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
::True, and yet the location and styling seem too uncannily similar, and it wouldn't be the [[montage|first Punch-Out reference]]... {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 23:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:::It's clearly a reference to [[origins]], and not necessarily a reference to King Hippo at all. I say stick with the reference we know over the reference we don't. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
::::That doesn't mean it couldn't be both at once, though. If it were just a reference to origins, it could easily have been a regular band-aid type bandage (like, tan with brown sides) rather than a cartoony, X-shaped white tape one. Just a thought. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.174|132.183.138.174]] 16:31, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::I still think that it's not a reference to king hippo's bandage, but to bandages them selves. sure they didn't use a bandage, but do they have to? I say no reference. [[User:origonalname]]

== Hey! ==
Strong Sad has Homsar as a friend, then again, Strong Bad hates Homsar almost as much as Strong Sad, so that's why Homsar wasn't mentioned as a friend.
:This is great for the forum. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:47, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

== E. mail? ==

I'm all for correct grammar and punctuation, but since we have used the spelling "email" everywhere else on the site, should we really start spelling it "E. mail?"--[[User:Rotanagol|Rotanagol]] 18:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:No, that's not how we do it. I've reverted it, along with a few other things the annony did that aren't the way we do stuff here. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 18:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
::"E. mail" is simply wrong, period. The proper spelling is "e-mail", with a hyphen, but that's clearly not how Strong Bad spells it, so we don't either. Also, the anonny who made those edits is a vandal we've seen before (he always tries to make words more awkwardly complex - "Interior References", which is a completely meaningless term, is his giveaway.) Unfortunately, he has a dynamic IP address and rarely makes more than two or three edits at a time, so it's hard to do much about it. (Besides revert, revert, revert, I mean.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:55, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Noted. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 18:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::Well, no, "e-mail" will never become as quaint as terms that, if they even ever existed at all, are older than the ''concept'' of e-mails. ;) Of course, there should be no question here, when Strong Bad himself consistently calls them "emails". But even if you think "e-mail" looks antiquated - I disagree - it's a far cry better than "E. mail", to say nothing of "game-play" or "wall-paper", which just look stu-pid. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

== Last!?! ==

Email 200 was meant to be the last email. then they had Hremail 3184, which was some how a sbemail. Now they have a 202? Why do the chaps keep changing there minds?
:(continued from my post in the previous thread) THIS, however, it speculation about TBC's motives and is unrelated to page content. Posts like these are better for the forum, not the other way around. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
::But since this thread is here anyway, it should be noted that it was heavily implied that TBC never seriously intended to stop sbemails after #200 (though they did end up taking an extended hiatus). -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.174|132.183.138.174]] 00:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

== Wisconsin References? ==

This troper-- er, editor-- is from Wisconsin and I couldn't help but think "Deer. Steer. Beer." was a big reference to Wisconsin.

DEER
-John Deere, a large part of the tractor business.
-Very common wildlife.

STEER
-Bovine; Wisconsin is known for them.

BEER
-Wisconsin is known for this as well, being a very German state. It narrowly missed ending up as our state drink (losing to milk).
:That sounds like too much of a stretch. There are plenty of places known for deer, cows, and alcohol.--[[Special:Contributions/66.29.169.1|66.29.169.1]] 15:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
::Besides, he says "Streer". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
::The e-mail was from Wisconsin, though. I'd let "streer" go, though.

== Is it just me... ==

Or does Scotty Titi bear a remarkable resemblance to Homsar? --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] <small>[[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]]</small> 06:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
:No. Not at all. [[User:Strong Intelligent|SI.com!]]

::Actually, to me he did, but it was a quick thought as I abruptly noticed that he had no legs. The shape was a mound, kind of like homsar, the hat was similar, but not the same, so it's not just you, Scotty did have a small resemblance to Homsar. -AlfstarRunner

Homestar Runner's "Sid" Game

2009-07-22T08:16:13Z

AlfstarRunner:

[[Image:hr_sid_game.PNG|thumb|Sid Hoffman, or Sid Frenchman?]]
[[Image:reward.png|thumb|The reward obtainable via the old version.]]

'''Homestar Runner's "Sid" Game''' is a game from the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[date]]". It was demonstrated by [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] to [[Marzipan]]. Homestar asks what he's going to say next: either "Sid Hoffman" or "Sid Frenchman". If the correct answer is guessed, one point is awarded. You can access it by clicking the words 'that game' in the email.

Originally, if 20 points were earned in the game, it would display a "prize" — an image of Strong Bad on his computer with an "M" on it. It may have been a glitch or an unfinished Easter egg, and has since been fixed/removed; the game now continues indefinitely, with no prize or ending.

==Fun Facts==
*To cheat, click both buttons in either order after the question. A point will be earned regardless of which answer Homestar gives. Clicking the correct button after Homestar begins saying the last name will also win the point (this can also be used to change a correct answer to an incorrect answer).

*When you got the reward on the old version, homestar would move his mouth fast, just before the REWARD! Text appeared. There was no sound, although it was possibily recorded before they changed it so the game repeats with no reward.

Then it cuts to Strong bad sitting at the Compy 386, stuck at the frame where he types an "M_". This sentence is stuck from the scene before you can get to the game, so the M is for "Marzipan's..".
