HRWiki:Recent changes patrol

2008-12-30T02:11:04Z

Elementio:

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point (!) next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

HRWiki:Changing username

2008-12-30T01:47:05Z

Elementio:

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the '''bottom''' of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

=== Peter222 ===
{{renameuser|Peter222|Peter22}}
I don't really like my username. To many 2's. If you get rid of one it'll bother me less. Thank you.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:On your user page, you state "I also despise my username", which says to me that you would not want to be stuck with Peter22. In order to avoid having to change your name a second time, I'm just going to wait till you come up with something you like as opposed to something that doesn't bother you as much. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::The excessive two's are the only reasons I dislike it. If I have one less I'd be fine with it and probably wouldn't change it again. Peter22 would not bother me at all.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:::That's not what you said above. Your signature is just "Peter", so how about that? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

=== Dramatic ===
{{renameuser|Dramatic|Strong Intelligent}}
I want more people to recongnise me as the guy fom the fanstuff that I am. [[User:Dramatic|Dramatic one: Dramitic, too?]]
:The user "Smartie" does not exist. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::Sorry. Fixed. Now what? [[User:Dramatic|Dramatic one: Dramitic, too?]]
:::Done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Lux Acerbus ===
{{renameuser|Lux Acerbus|That Guy Over There}}
This may just be me being paranoid, but somebody phished one of my accounts on another website recently, so if they got access to my email they might be able to figure out how to log in as me here. Anyway, after that I'd just like to move away from using "Lux Acerbus" for anything in case they do recognize this as my account. That and it'll help keep my username consistent with my accounts for everything else. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 00:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm. "That Guy Over There" is kind of a nondescript name. You really use it for all your online accounts? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
::Well, some. Actually, I wrote that when I was wanting it to be changed to "Mr. Upstage." That's just the humor in it, that it's nondescript. Anyway, I don't think the fact that it's nondescript makes it any less good for identifying me. It is, after all, a username and nobody else has that username. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 14:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Dan

2008-12-29T23:35:05Z

Elementio:

[[Image:kewpie.PNG|thumb|Whose Dan is this, anyway?]]
The name '''Dan''' appears many times, especially in the newer [[games]]. The name is frequently used as "[verb] 'em up, Dan!" and "[adjective] Dan". After [[The Brothers Chaps]] were [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|interviewed]] by [http://www.homestarrunner.net homestarrunner.net] member "Dan" in late 2003, the use of "Dan" became more prolific. Dan is also the name of one of the Chaps' cousins, which is one of the reasons that this name is used so often.

==Appearances==
*[[Thorax Corporation]] — [[Thorax:intern.html|Gent Delabor's "Thorax Dynamic Intern" page]] says that emailer PuckHead0 "need[s] to serve as [his] right hand dan".
*[[TROGDOR!]] — A cut-scene features [[Trogdor]] [[burninating]] four [[peasants]] in a row, with the caption "fry 'em up, Dan!"
**This is a direct quote from [[Wikipedia:Shel Silverstein|Shel Silverstein]]'s poem "Ladies First".

*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] — A sketch of a person labeled Kewpie Dan appears in an Easter egg along with the the strange title "Get Fushling!!" The inset picture appears to show his arm being bitten by a vampire. "Kewpie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Kewpie doll (toy)|Kewpie dolls]].
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7.0]] — [[Strong Bad]] makes a prank call as "Safety Dan".
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]] — [[Homestar Runner]] calls himself "Boyfriend Dan".
*Email [[monster truck]] — Strong Bad answers an e-mail from "Stan and Loretta", but he refers to them as "Dan and Linda".
*Email [[sibbie]] — Strong Bad says [[The Cheat]] "thinks he's Clever Dan".

*[[Strong Libs]] — In an easter egg based on the e-mail [[lackey]], the sentence begins with "No, dan..."
*One of the "internet users" (actually a computer controlled character) in [[Kid Speedy]] is DAN.

*Email [[trading cards]] — Strong Bad acknowledges that he responds to a lot of emails from people named Daniel by referring to the sender as "Another freakin' guy named Daniel".
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] — Strong Bad says "Oh, Dan... guh. Dang. Oh dang!"
*[[DNA Evidence]] — Homestar confuses "DNA evidence" with "Dan evidence". [[Coach Z]] also claims that he is both a superhero, [[Strong Badman Characters#Damp Towel Man|Damp Towel Man]], and the superhero's mild-mannered alter ego, Dan Towelman.
*Email [[mini-golf]] — one of the places that Strong Bad advertises is "Waterslide Dan's Moistworld". Also, one of the players in the [[Rumble Red]]'s Kosmik Bowling scorecards is Dan.
*Email [[pizza joint]] — [[The King of Town]] uses a brand of lighter fluid called "Lite em up Dan".
**A variation of the phrase, "wind em' up Dan", would appear in the description of the [[Store T-Shirts|wind-up Homestar shirt]]
**This would reappear in the email [[your edge]].
*[[Jibblies 2 Teaser]] — There is a hidden text easter egg that reads "nice try dan". This can only be viewed when the Flash file is decompiled.

Snake Boxer 5

2008-12-29T23:33:17Z

Elementio:

[[Image:Snakeboxer5.jpg|left|thumb|83 Percent Snake Handler Approved!]][[Image:SnakeBoxer5TitleScreen.png|thumb|So much better than Snake Boxer 4.]][[Image:SnakeBoxerShot.jpg|thumb|Must. Punch. Snakes.]]
'''Snake Boxer 5''' (or '''Snake Boxer V''') is the fifth game in the [[Snake Boxer]] series, and is one of the minigames in ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]: [[Homestar Ruiner]]'', accessible by using the [[FunMachine]] in [[Strong Bad's Room]]. Strong Bad comments that it is "so much better than the unfortunate ''Snake Boxer 4: Lady Snake Parade''" and "fifty times cooler than ''Snake Boxer 2: The Biting of Boxer Joe''", and that it put the Snake Boxer series back on track after ''Snake Boxer 3: Solving Problems Through Diplomacy''. Gameplay resembles that of [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareID=882 Boxing] for the Atari 2600. The Homestar Ruiner gameplay video [[Homestar Ruiner#Transcript of Around the Field|"Around the Field"]] shows an [[:Image:SnakeBoxer5ManualSBCG4AP.png|updated cover]] of the Snake Boxer 5 manual, which features the [[Videlectrix]] logo. This is the first confirmation that Snake Boxer 5 was made by Videlectrix.

The game has an unlockable cheat code, which is unlocked by finding all the pages of Strong Bad's long-lost manual. According to Strong Bad, it unlocks "Snake Boxer 5's Super-Secret Forbidden mode". In the Forbidden Mode, you play as another, larger snake. Instead of punching, the snake lunges with the attack key. The guard key draws the snake back instead of defending, but holding the button down allows your snake to breathe fire, causing more damage.

On May 9, 2008, Telltale Games announced a [[Telltale:community/blogs/id-336|contest]] to come up with Snake Boxer 5's tagline. The winning taglines were not used in the game, but the tagline creators' names were used on page three of the instruction manual.

HRWiki:Recent changes patrol

2008-12-29T22:36:22Z

Elementio:

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point (!) next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

Snake Boxer 5

2008-12-29T22:33:05Z

Elementio:

[[Image:Snakeboxer5.jpg|left|thumb|83 Percent Snake Handler Approved!]][[Image:SnakeBoxer5TitleScreen.png|thumb|So much better than Snake Boxer 4.]][[Image:SnakeBoxerShot.jpg|thumb|Must. Punch. Snakes.]]
'''[[Snake]] Boxer 5''' (or '''[[Snake Boxer]] V''') is one of the minigames in ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]:[[Homestar Ruiner]]'', accessible by using the [[FunMachine]] in [[Strong Bad's Room]]. Strong Bad comments that it is "so much better than the unfortunate ''Snake Boxer 4: Lady Snake Parade''" and "fifty times cooler than ''Snake Boxer 2: The Biting of Boxer Joe''", and that it put the Snake Boxer series back on track after ''Snake Boxer 3: Solving Problems Through Diplomacy''. Gameplay resembles that of [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareID=882 Boxing] for the Atari 2600. The Homestar Ruiner gameplay video [[Homestar Ruiner#Transcript of Around the Field|"Around the Field"]] shows an [[:Image:SnakeBoxer5ManualSBCG4AP.png|updated cover]] of the Snake Boxer 5 manual, which features the [[Videlectrix]] logo. This is the first confirmation that Snake Boxer 5 was made by Videlectrix.

The game has an unlockable [[Wikipedia:cheat code|cheat code]], which is unlocked by finding all the pages of Strong Bad's long-lost manual. According to Strong Bad, it unlocks "Snake Boxer 5's Super-Secret Forbidden mode". In the Forbidden Mode, you play as another, larger snake. Instead of punching, the snake lunges with the attack key. The guard key draws the snake back instead of defending, but holding the button down allows your snake to breathe fire, causing more damage.

On May 9, 2008, Telltale Games announced a [[Telltale:community/blogs/id-336|contest]] to come up with Snake Boxer 5's tagline. The winning taglines were not used in the game, but the tagline creators' names were used on page three of the instruction manual.

Old Flash Stuff

2008-12-29T22:32:20Z

Elementio:

[[Image:old flash stuff.png|thumb|right|220px|The Bees do all the work]]
'''Old Flash Stuff''' is a [[Museum]] feature where one can view old [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] material. There have been at least four different versions of this page, with links to different features. The most recent version has integrated Flash files into the page, making most links simply popups.

'''Page Title:''' The Original Website!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[The Fat Bee]]

==Contents==

===Current Version===

The current version is missing several links to old games that have since been moved to the [[Handheld Games Menu]]. It is unclear if this occurred at the same time as the major Museum update of February 14, 2006, or if there was a fifth update sometime beforehand.
*The Menu Itself — ''If you can believe it, this is what the original [[homestarrunner.com|homestar runner website]] looked like.''
*[[First Flash]] (Salt Shaker) — ''This is the first bit of homestar related flash stuff we ever did. Not very good.''
*[[Second Flash]] ([[Single-Button Remote Control|Remote Control]]) — ''This is the second bit of homestar related flash stuff we ever did.''
*[[Old Intro]] (Paper Bag) — ''Here is the original intro to the webpage.''
*[[Old Intro 2]] (Lava Lamp) — ''Here is another old intro.''
*[[Pom Pom, Too]] (Orange) — ''Here is a little story about where [[Pom Pom|Pom-Pom]] comes from. I still kinda like it.''
*[[Original Games Menu]] (Beach Ball) — ''Here is the original games menu.''
*[[Second Games Menu]] (Pie Slice) — ''Here is another games menu. A little too hard to figure out.''
*[[She Loves Me!]] (Lemon) — ''Here is the first homestar game and the first appearance of [[Marzipan]].''
*[[Old Characters Page]] (Shoe) — ''Here is the original [[characters]] page.''

===Third Version===

The third version of the Old Flash Stuff included links to a few other pages. These were:
*[[Who Said What Now?]] (Marshmallow) — ''This is the Spin 'n Say. It was in the games section. Not much of a game really.''
*[[Astro-Lite 2600]] (Radio) — ''Here is a lite-brite-ish game that was on the site for a while.''
*[[Fortune Cookies]] (Helmet) — ''An old 'game' we made that has nothing to do with Homestar but it was on the site anyway.''

===Second Version===

The second version of the Old Flash Stuff was the same as the third, except the "Marshmallow" Who Said What Now? link hadn't been added yet.

===First Version===

The first version of the Old Flash Stuff was the same as the second, except in place of the link to Fortune Cookies was this link:

*[[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] (Helmet) — ''Homestar's first full cartoon. Check out them voices.''

==Fun Facts==

*The [[The Fat Bee|fat bees]] are from the [[original book]].
*This is the first appearance of a [[single-button remote control]].
*The pink shoe appears to be a [[Chuck Taylor All-Star]].

Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not. If you didn't though, then 1 week was probably a little harsh. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Meh, maybe you're right. I was going primarily from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=568565 this edit}}, and I thought that the anonny had been reverted three times and was being persistent with adding those links. I'll unblock for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops! Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was just fooling around and deleting some spam from the sandbox. The anonny wasn't spamming any other pages than the sandbox. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 21:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No need to fear, Turtle, you acted correctly. Dotty just got a little carried away—which he ''rarely'' does, I might add, he does a bang-up job here and I'm personally proud of what he's accomplished—and made a premature judgement in absence of the facts. He fixed it, and all is well now, all is safe and sound. Sleep peacefully. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Dotty? Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! ''{suddenly sotto voce}'' No. Thanks as always to Qermaq for putting a bow on what was pretty much already wrapped up. ;) (Although I ''would'' recommend in the future not yelling in summaries if one is not trying to attract attention.

== Joshua ==

Okay, I know you have a fanstuff talk page. But this is serious. Joshua, the sysop, did something like blackmail. Now the forum is messed up and Super Sam blocked him. Can you please fix this mess? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:I do believe that what is occurring is simply playful banter which Sam here has taken a bit too seriously. Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 05:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::Edit conflict: Lies. All lies! Clearly I'm the only one who knows how it all went down. Joshua randomly bans Super Sam on the forum and then Super Sam screws around with the forum skin for revenge. Also I think Supra tried to block Joshua on the wiki but Joshua just unblocked himself. Just a spot of fun, no need to get all grumpy about it. I think it's pretty dang hilarious the way it's going down. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 05:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks! I installed the feature back during the last upgrade (because the fanstuff kept pestering me to) but hadn't found a good use for it here at the knowledge base until now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button. It will give you a place to enter the thread header and format it automatically. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::Jolly good. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Just the same, I think I'd like my username changed. (I've been thinking of ditching LuxAcerbus for a while now.) Sysops can do that, right? {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 19:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::Yep, I concur with Phlip's suggestion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Alrighty, thanks for that. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 14:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Looking at [[Talk:Main_Page#Read-Only_Forum|this]], it appears a lot of the forum users have been giving you grief over the locked forum. I just would like to pause for a moment and say thank you. You have dealt with this matter professionally, and I would like to say that in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. Thank you for managing this problem well. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

:Actually, you sent two emails. I only said you'd get a reply if it was necessary, and in your case it's not. The status bars only indicate that a certain step is done out of many.

It's dot com is spending hours and hours (literally) of his spare time fixing the fanstuff wiki for you, and the last thing he needs (I'm sure of it) is someone poking him with a stick continuously, asking if he's done yet. So sit back and relax, give him some space, and when he's finally done, thank him very much for it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 13:05, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

From my old fanstuff talk page:
<blockquote>
[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Recentchanges Check this out]

It's the recent changes page of The Mario Wiki. I made an account there, and I realized on the recent changes page, there's a little section for who's currently logged in. I figured I'd ask you if we could possibly make this a feature here. It would make things alot easier when trying to contact users and such. --{{User:TheDenzel/sig}} 18:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
:[...] This would indeed be interesting, but people shouldn't have their identities exposed just because they're browsing. Part of what a lot of people like about reading a wiki is that you're not publicly logged unless you edit. And there's the thing: one should be able to tell who's online well enough just by looking at the recent changes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Or do you mean something that only sysops and/or developers could see? If so, we already have enough behind-the-scenes access to handle our relatively minor spam load. Thanks though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:I mean that only registered users can see, and from my knowledge of it, noone EVER uses it but me, for some reason on the other wikis I go on. It would just help alot. {{User:Red And Black/siggy}} 19:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Well, like I said last year, I don't think that information should be available to just anyone who happens to have an account. There's almost no reason (if any) to look over someone's shoulder if they're merely reading articles. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

::::It would be nearly impossible to tell whether someone was about to vandalize based solely on what they're looking at. Even if it were possible, the vigilance required to make the extension effective would be prohibitively time-consuming.

== Hey, something to bring your attention to ==

Adventure Classic Gaming recently had an interview with the Brothers Chaps and the designers of their episodic adventure game series at TellTale, not sure how you usually feature new content related to the brothers chaps but figured you might not have seen it yet, it isn't on the interviews page at least: [http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/439/] -MarkN

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 1]] (Dec 29-Jan 4) ===
For this week, and the start of the new year, I decided that we should ''finally'' use That Game Dude's suggestion that has been proposed for several weeks but kept getting bumped off: the email [[winter pool]]. Now that all of the major holidays are out of the way, I think we can do that one at last. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:I'd be a hypocrite to say no. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 20:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::After all, what better way to ring in the new year than to sink into a pool full of gelatin? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I have to agree with you on that one Heimi. Who wouldn't? Support [[winter pool]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:46, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
::::[[Winter pool]]? Sounds good to me {{User:Tatpoj121/sig}} 21:58, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, that'd be perfect. It'd be the first time we ever did a post-2006 email. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 2]] (Jan 5-11) ===
In the past, about this week, we usually feature something related to either [[20X6]] or [[Trogdor]]. This year, I was thinking of doing both at the same time with the Trogdor-centric toon: [[Happy Trogday]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
:I'm up for it! {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 02:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
::With a 20X6 reference to boot! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was thinking [[Trogday 08]]. It is the newest Trogdor-related cartoon and there is some historical significance (with the theme of [[The S is for sucks dragon]]) Any takers?{{User:Tatpoj121/sig}} 01:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Who said it had to be a new toon? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::No one. just a suggestion.{{User:Tatpoj121/sig}} 03:25, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::I think Trogday 08 is a good idea for sometime, but since Happy Trogday was suggested first and has a high degree of support, we should go for that this time. Incidentally, Tatpoj, if there's already a suggestion on this page and you make a new suggestion, it's best to make sure you address the previous suggestions and why you think yours is preferable (this is not really a vote, but rather a discussion). Keep on keeping on! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:33, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Also, I personally think we should do TSifS before Trogday 08. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 01:54, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 3]] (Jan 12-18) ===
This will mark a while since we've done a character or pseudocharacter. I think it would be well worth our time to feature [[Tire]]: A remarkably detailed article about an inanimate object that is nonetheless often treated as a character. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:19, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
:That'd be a great one! [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:58, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
::I'm surprised ol' Poppy the Tire wasn't featured already! Go for it! {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 02:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
:::After becoming the national symbol of [[Strong Badia the Free|The Cheat and Tireia]], it's a good time to feature the sole inhabitant of Strong Badia. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 4]] (Jan 19-25) ===
While we are on the subject of former countries in [[Strong Badia The Free]], I think we should do a location that needs an article badly: namely, [[Club Technochocolate]] (formerly [[Strong Badia The Free|Pompomerania]]). It's been a while since we've done an actual location anyway. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:It seems like a solid article to me; I'm cool with it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
::As a location in the HR universe, I'm down with it, but we should feature [[SBCG4AP]] and all the games in it before we start listing SBTF loctions... or better yet, we could do SBCG4AP and the games on a daily baisis, like we did for Puppet Jams and other puppet stuff a while back. Sound good? Otherwise, [[Club Technochocolate]] is good, but I think we can hold it off until SBCG4AP has been featured... {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 14:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm not talking about doing Pompomerania, I'm talking about just doing what it really is: Club Technochocolate. As for doing SBCG4AP on a weekly basis, we only have five episodes, not seven. And any of them would work well solo, I think. So I'm only talking about Club Technochocolate for this week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
::::OK, CTC is good, and next week I'll elaborate on my plans to feature SBCG4AP... {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:36, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 5]] (Jan 26-Feb 1) ===

OK, so here's my proposal for an SBCG4AP week: We feature [[SBCG4AP]], [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]], and each of the five episodes daily. Great idea, or no? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:Except maybe for the Dev Blog, I think those are all important enough to get a whole week, not just a day. How about just [[SBCG4AP]] for now, and feature the individual episodes another time? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
::OK. Man, I ''still'' can't beleive we haven't already done it! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:::<s>I think we were waiting to feature it until all 5 episodes were released, and until it was cleaned up a little bit. Personally, I think the actual [[SBCG4AP]] page should just be a disambig sometimes, and I certainly don't think it's ready for featuring. </s> {{User:Acam30/sig}} 16:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Wow! Look who forgot to read the article before she commented again! <nowiki>*</nowiki>hits head on keyboard<nowik>*</nowiki> Nevermind guys, Disregard. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 16:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::Okay, I'm sure we can do SBCG4AP now. Not the individual games, but just the series as a whole. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:11, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::Note to Acam30: Although in current times they haven't been released, by the time we get to feature this article, it'll be late Janurary... I sure '''''hope''''' they've all been released for a while!!! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 22:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Rest assured TGD, they will all be out by this time. I found out that [[8-Bit Is Enough]] will be released this upcoming Monday (on the 15th). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Never doubted for a minute.;) {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 01:14, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::We did plan to do [[nightlife]] after club technochoclate. Lets do [[nightlife]]. {{User:Sylar/sig}} 22:28, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Why don't we save that one for, say, something in the summer? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured Article for 2009, week 6]] (Feb 2-8)===

I think the next should be [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

{{User:Ninja pom pom/sig}} 21:36, 10 December 2008
:I guess we could do it. We don't usually feature non-website material very often. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

::Well, most people don't know alot about it because they don't have the dvd, I wish, but I don't have ''ANY''!--[[User:Ninja pom pom|Ninja pom pom]] 02:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Maybe these articles would raise awareness of the DVDs. I have two of them. And one DVD-only thing ([[Real-Live E-mails]]) has already been featured. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Right! [[User:Ninja pom pom|Ninja pom pom]] 22:19, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
::::I don't think this really would make a good FA, since it's an incomplete toon. I am, however, in full support of any other DVD-related stuff... I would think [[Why Come Only One Girl?]] would be a bit more easy to do, if it's not done already. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 01:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::It has not been done before and I guess it can be done. At least it's more "complete". [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::First off, in reply to the first two posts in this thread: Someone makes a comment, and then his grandma shows up immediately to support him? Boy, ''that'' doesn't look suspicious. Second, in reply to That game dude, unfortunately, Why Come Only One Girl is currently fully protected from editing due to circumstances beyond our control; and I don't feel it should be featured until such a time, if any, that this issue is resolved. As for 'Tis True, Pom Pom: The fact that it's unfinished could be viewed as an asset, not a liability, since I personally think it would be interesting to see a featured article about a work they never finished (and never will, presumably). I wouldn't oppose featuring [[Wikipedia:Symphony No. 8 (Schubert)|Schubert's 8th Symphony]], so I won't oppose here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::So are you saying that you are in favor of "Tis True"? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I sat a valtines toon, like [[Date Night]]. {{User:Sylar/sig}} 22:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Valentine's Day is next week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:04, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::I think "'Tis True" is a reasonable choice. I wish we could feature Why Come Only Girl, but I think putting it on the main page would only raise awareness of the problem, which we don't want. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Geez, 2 years now, and it ''still'' hasn't been fixed? What kind of a problem is that? Anydangway, I think 'Tis True, Pom Pom will work, upon further inspection. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::Also, Heimstern, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&diff=614302&oldid=613776 this edit] shows that Ninja Pom Pom and his "grandma" both edited the same time. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 22:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Both added by NPP. {{User:Red And Black/siggy}} 10:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured Article for 2009, week 7]] (Feb 9-15)===
As this is the week of Valentine's Day, I was thinking we could do either [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]] or maybe the big toon [[Date Nite]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
:We haven't done a full toon (no pun intended) in a while! Let's do [[Date Nite]]!{{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::Hello, my name is waiter, I will be your Heimstern this evening! Would you like a cup of Date Nite? Or perhaps never not featuring it again with capers? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured Article for 2009, week 8]] (Feb 16-22)===
This week, we should the oft-neglected word gag [[Dennis]], since we've already done [[Ye Flask]]. Ye hasn't seen Dennis in a fortnight, afterall! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 19:11, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:That would be interesting, wouldn't it? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Yes. <strike>We could also do the other Thy Dungeonman name gag [[Dan]], too. But I kinda like [[Dennis]] better.</strike> {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 15:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Dan doesn't really have the needed prose introduction at this point. Dennis is possible, though it's a bit frustrating how little text there is beyond the prose intro. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, let's not do Dan. Support Dennis. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:18, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured Article for 2009, week 9]] (Feb 23-Mar 1)===
For this week, we should feature someone who is long overdue for a featured article: [[Marshie]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 22:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:Marshie has already been featured. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:28, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
::This is the week where winter turns to spring... and I suggest we celebrate that by featuring [[The Luau]], a very spring-ish toon that I've always held high respect for. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Oh, right. I forgot. Never mind. Anyway, how about doing instead [[Strong Bad smiling]]? That one has a sufficient amount of text. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
::::[[The Luau]] is long long overdue to being featured. In many ways, it marked the beginning of the modern H*R era, so it's very significant. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:11, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::What if we did that one before this spring is up? We would've just already done a big toon for Valentine's Day, if we go that route. How about doing something like, say, [[Strong Badman]], instead? He, too, is long overdue. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::Hmm, good point. I realized that after I posted my support. [[The Luau]] does need to be done soon (maybe later in March, week 12 or so?), so we could do Badman, since it's been a while since we've done a variation. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I think Strong Badman would be a good idea, and then do the Luau sometime in March. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Using Show Preview ==
Hello Umlaut76, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded.

== Editing (a helpful benefit) ==

*Is it possible for certain Wiki users/sysops/etc. to edit pages "in a good way"? In other words, can Wiki users edit some pages without it being reverted due to vandalism? -{{User:Umlaut76/sig}} 16:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:Any users can edit pages in a good way - that's what makes this a wiki. Vandalism is deliberately adding nonsense or removing page content, which is certainly not editing pages in a good way. The exception is User pages, which may be edited by the user who owns the page only. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 23:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
::Well, yes, that. What I'm really trying to say is: Can certain users edit an HrWiki-related article just to do their quick fix (in a good way) rather than editing your own page and/or talk page? -{{User:Umlaut76/sig}} 18:23, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

*Yes! I finally made some HTML Codes that are compatable for certain letters! Here is one of the letters I've processed so far: <nowiki>ÿ</nowiki> -{{User:Umlaut76/sig}} 21:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC) P.S: Teh code is ampersand(&), number(#), 255, and semicolon(;).

== Edit Signature ==

*About my signature, I've actually considered a diacritic capital "u" in my signature just to make my signature look even better, but, I seem to have a problem changing my username. -{{User:Umlaut76/sig}} 20:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
::don't forget that you can change your own signature to have the Ü without having to change the username. (And I'm not sure if non-ASCII characters can be in a username anyway...) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 22:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision.

== Yeah...sorry about that. ==

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like. The page has a history of that revert, and I was just following what [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] put last time I remember it being reverted (right down to the edit comment). Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Understandable, but we didn't write/say/direct this. I thought we were here to report and act as a reference. I know it will offend a few people, but we're just supposed to state the facts, aren't we? Maybe it deserves a vote.

Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Danke ==

Thanks for reverting my user page from that vandal. That's a first for me, getting vandalised. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I certainly wasn't going to just leave it, yeah? Oddly, I've reverted several people's first trollings. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you. I suppose with my revert-happy trigger finger I'm probably getting vandals mad at me by now and it was sure someone would come after me. Great way to celebrate the new year, don't you think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined. I know this coz it's happened to me several times. It's nice to get back in the trenches again, though, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert). Which I find interesting, since I'd never reverted anything by this guy. He seems to have been nothing but a troublemaker: he just want after me and [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] for no obvious reason. But I had always figured it would happen someday. And yes, it's good to be back in the trenches. I love reverting crappy edits again! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:I'd be totally willing to give it a try, although I can't promise top quality. But I shall still try! DorianGray never backs down from a challenge, believe it! I'll get on that first chance I have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Awesome! Thank you! Supashi-bo! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki.

It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original.

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Trying to make this Userbox work ==
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean. It works ON my user page and outside of the <userboxsampes> tag, just not inside of it. Any idea how to make that work?

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

:Hey there. DorianGray was acting perfectly within [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#Talk post content|policy]]. Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article. Now, [[tape leg]] is an exception, because the issue is actually addressed by Strong Bad. So, I understand why you consider your talk page post to be legitimate, but DorianGray actually did the right thing.

:Regardless, your personal attacks of DorianGray were completely uncalled for. If you disagree with a user's actions, it is simple to say so in a civil way without insulting them.

==Pokémon Help==
=== Eggs ===

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears. Is that helpful, or do you need more info? Have any other breeding questions? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, uhh... I knew about the Ditto thing where you put a pokemon with Ditto at the day care and you get an egg with the pokemon you put with ditto, but can you do it again? I want an egg with another Zapdos. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's the problem, then. You can hatch as many eggs as you want, but the one-of-a-kind Pokémon like Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebi, etc. can't be bred at all. [[User:76.5.105.107|76.5.105.107]] 19:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, Zapdos can't breed. It's in the No Eggs group. Generally, all legendary Pokémon, all baby Pokémon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and so on), and a few others (Unown, Nidoran (F), and Nidorina) can't breed. They're too special. If you want another Zapdos, you'll have to trade it from another game. Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::::But can you get more than one egg from the day care? If yes, how? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::They'll give you eggs your Pokémon produce whenever they produce them. Just leave two compatible Pokémon, and go off and do something else. Come back in a while, and maybe they've produced an egg. If you leave Ditto and another breedable Pokémon, you're guaranteed to get an egg sooner or later. You just have to go somewhere else and walk around a bit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Heh. I am amused. Lucky him, though. Non-Master Ball catches can be terrible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, for a while, I'd suspected that "MichaelXX2" is actually the same "MikeTigershark" that was banned twice already given the similar nature of his confusing and often irrelevant edits, and one of his [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=senior_prom&curid=23493&diff=561466&oldid=561465 recent edits] where he links to a nonexistant "facebook.com" page seems to confirm that, as his second "sockpuppet" account [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Homestar_Runner_Gets_Something_Stuck_In_His_Craw&diff=prev&oldid=557392 did the same thing].

== Hurtful comments ==

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>
In closing, it hurt. A lot. I hope you know that I am a person like everyone else on this wiki, and I'm sure you've made a whole messload of mistakes before you got to this point. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, the '90s series was much better, but I don't think that means The Batman was bad by any means. It also happened to be still on TV when that list was written, so there's that as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

{{sitelanguagenotice}}
Strong Bad, Homestar, Strong Mad, The Cheat and Marzipan appear as grotesque caricatures in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/tub-bites-vol.php Tub Bites vol. 2.]. The computer used in the toon appears to be a parody of the [[Compy 386]]. The first email is "[[DELETED|Recycle Binned!]]".

Also, this is reprised with an obvious parody of a "[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]"-style Strong Bad e-mail in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/karnov-playset-2.php?page=5 Karnov Bites].
*The Easter egg in Tub Bites 2 is a parody of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], featuring calls from parodies of Strong Bad, the King of Town, Homsar, Coach Z and Strong Sad.

The update of March 1, 2007, [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/steve-movie-blog.php Steve's Movie Review Blog], contains reference to the [[Strong Bad Email]]s. The article is written as if the writer is unfamiliar with internet trends; he writes that he just discovered the site, thinks the cartoon's title is "The Strong Bads", and thinks its web address is www.strongbad.com.

Homestar appears in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/internet-cartoon-2000.php Funny Housemates 2] and [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/housemates-cartoon-3.php Funny Housemates 999]. He looks like Homestar, but acts more like Homsar.

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Secret==

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay then. I'll try to log on tomorrow. But till then, I'm outta here! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:13, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

== Yeah...sorry about that. ==

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like. The page has a history of that revert, and I was just following what [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] put last time I remember it being reverted (right down to the edit comment). Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Understandable, but we didn't write/say/direct this. I thought we were here to report and act as a reference. I know it will offend a few people, but we're just supposed to state the facts, aren't we? Maybe it deserves a vote.

Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::If you discussed it, it isn't out of order. Most people didn't like italics, though. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Although, my talk page and user page are rarely looked at, so there should be no problem.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

Hey DG, how'd you get the Old-School Homestar for your newest quote? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 14:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:I actually took a screen shot from... [[personal favorites|personal favourites]], I think. I cropped out everything but his head, and rotated, resized, and/or flipped it 'til it was layered perfectly over a normal Quote of the Week box with the current Homestar in it. And there it was: one old-school Homestar quote. However, since my editing software is now kaput, I can't do any more specialised quotes like that. Ah, well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah, DG. I ''saw'' what you did with the userbox that ''I'' added. It's OK; I found it prooty humorous. And I remember you being blocked on the 9th.

Keep up the good work! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 16:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Why did you remove my picture from the halloweener page? You gotta give me some credit. I'm a full wiki member, and I don't deserve to have my image deleted. Also, if you think it's ugly, keep it to yourself. Sorry, but I don't find this very respectful.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:It's not relevant because tons of people do fanart of all sorts of toons all the time. That doesn't make it necessary to mention in an encyclopedic knowledge-base. It's nothing against you. Anyone's would be deleted. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Well, this is a big slap in the face to art.

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet. If you see any of that still around, a small train needs to be dropped. At least a caboose. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dorian, I saw you wondered about my name. Well--in short--I made it up. It's basically the name I use everywhere, unless it's more formal (in which case I use the long form, Katori), or in the rare case where there's something better (like Coach Z on BHZ's forum ;)). I made it up a few years ago. Occassionally I use it in stories as well. :) Nice to meet you!! --[[User:Kato|Kato]]

== Countervandalism ==

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.

::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original.

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

== Trying to make this Userbox work ==
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean. It works ON my user page and outside of the <userboxsampes> tag, just not inside of it. Any idea how to make that work?
--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm, I dunno much myself, but I'll certainly ask around. I know a few people who might be able to help, maybe. I's not much good with coding and stuff myself. *sweatdrop* Let you know once they get on, or something. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Thanks Loafing, but I think you misunderstand the problem. It will work inside that. Look at my userpage and you will see what I made.

It won't work in there for some reason.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

No need to be a jerk, dude. "Ugh?" "Not at all aesthetically pleasing?" Give me a break. That's an exaggeration -- especially since it's a matter of your personal taste -- and regardless of your preferences, the harsh words are completely unnecessary.

I guess you don't want people to constructively contribute if you're going to behave like that.

== quite certain he says "oh my lan" ==

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article.

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing.

Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== peacey p /y'all ==

Sorry, I just rewatched it and saw that it was spelled that way,
but you got there before I could undo it.
I really hate that misspelling but I guess it should match the toon.
:Personally, I agree with you, but I think the written work should come before personal preference (otherwise I'd go around changing all Strong Bad's old "woah"s and "alright"s =3 ). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't mind "woah" because it is a reasonable phonetic version of how some people say it (can't remember if Strong Bad does though). Totally with you on "alright." I hate that one too. But I agree with you that the wiki should match the toon. --[[Special:Contributions/24.124.71.66|24.124.71.66]] 13:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

== Hurtful comments ==

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>
In closing, it hurt. A lot. I hope you know that I am a person like everyone else on this wiki, and I'm sure you've made a whole messload of mistakes before you got to this point. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:I apologise if I offended you. They were meant mostly in jest. Good-natured ribbing. Hence the =3. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
::I doubt ''that'' by a mile. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't. I've known Dorian for quite some time, and he's always been a kind and gentle person around me. He doesn't set out to insult others, and that's a fact. I think his apology is sincere. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

==The Batman==

You like The Batman? It's cool and all, but nothing compared to Batman TAS. The animation in Batman TAS is much better, and it's more serious. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 07:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, the '90s series was much better, but I don't think that means The Batman was bad by any means. It also happened to be still on TV when that list was written, so there's that as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

:Do both, if you can manage it. =3 Thank ye very much. I picked The King of Town because, of all the main characters, only he, Pom Pom, and Strong Mad hadn't been in a Fan Costumes toon yet (now it's only Pom Pom). The King's physique seemed easiest to make a costume of, so I went with him. And now you know... the rest of the story. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

you're on fan costumes. nice going, dorry! wait, that nickname implies a girl. i won't use it anymore. either way, they thought your costume was so cool/sucked so bad (really can't tell by the comment) to get it on costumes 08. :) /me thinks it's the coolest thing ever!

== About my revert of your edit... ==

For some reason, I thought you'd removed a line and so I reverted your edit, but you'd added it. Bit of a brain freeze, there - whoops. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 09:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
:I was wondering. =3 I was all "Well, if it's a reminder, why remove it?" Ah, well, we all make mistakes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I can confirm this, if that means anything to you. I have also seen this happen. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our [http://www.chat.hrwiki.org Chat Channel] is always available, and we also have a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum].
*[[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
*If you're still confused, check out the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] page.

If you have any questions, ask them up in the [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]] or ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], or any other of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops or admins]] ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users).

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. (And thanks for voting for my revision. :) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, okay. I didn't know that. First time voting for a revision... Keep it the way it is, with the vote at the revised version. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::As it turns out, I was persuaded that the revision was wrong, so I split the second half of it into its own item. You should review it an make a new vote accordingly. Sorry for all the confusion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yes, please fix it for me. No one will question it if it comes from you, I've noticed. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again. But I'm ''not'' switching ''any more''... I hope.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

::P.S. Yeah, Bubsty, go ahead. I was just gonna put it at the end of my new card game anyway.

== Yeah...sorry about that. ==

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like. The page has a history of that revert, and I was just following what [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] put last time I remember it being reverted (right down to the edit comment). Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Understandable, but we didn't write/say/direct this. I thought we were here to report and act as a reference. I know it will offend a few people, but we're just supposed to state the facts, aren't we? Maybe it deserves a vote.

Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::If you discussed it, it isn't out of order. Most people didn't like italics, though. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

In answer to your question of how I could forget to link Dot com's name correctly: actually, I forget that sort of thing all the time. I can be pretty absent-minded, especially when I'm thinking about otheer things, like a project that I'm working on. So, thanks for catching that one for me! I probably wouldn't have for quite some time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Wow. First troll in a while. What a waste of one of the few chances to troll nowadays.

In any case, thanks for the revert. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's what I'm here for... And it was a pretty sad attempt, truth be told. If I was a troll--which I am not, never was, never will be--I'd make something special of it, since the chance is rare, like you said. (Hopefully, we're not giving anyone any ideas. Although, my talk page and user page are rarely looked at, so there should be no problem.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Oh, and just for the record, we actually had a similar incident of vandalism only about a week ago, when someone decided to blank portions of [[Homestar Runner]] (a similarly feeble effort, quickly reverted).

:::Haha, yea, I saw that one. I think it was Jay that got him. But the block log has been pretty sparce as of late, there's only been like a dozen blocks (3 or 4 because of trolls) since NSMC.

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you.

:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined.

::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert).

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

:No problem. It was easily fixed, although I admit I did have a sudden heart palpatation when I saw it on Recent Changes. It's easy to get confused when the RC is all clogged like that. Keep on doin' your thing, man. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Userboxes (and more!) ==
Yeah, DG. I ''saw'' what you did with the userbox that ''I'' added. It's OK; I found it prooty humorous. And I remember you being blocked on the 9th. I actually saw the unblockage first, and I thought, "Huh? How'd Dorian get blocked?" [[suntan|HEE HO HEE!]] Oh, and is it OK if I use your "tomorrow" quote on my page. Keep up the good work! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 16:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
:A) Glad you don't mind. It was a little long, and it's actually how I feel. o_o I'm gonna be twenty in 5 months exactly, and I feel ancient. 
:2) Yeah, the block was pretty freaky. I had a premonition I'd end up on that list somehow, but I don't do anything bad. So that's that, then. 
:D) Sure it's fine. =3 I love that quote. It's the procrastinator's creed.

== Why? ==

Why did you remove my picture from the halloweener page? You gotta give me some credit. I'm a full wiki member, and I don't deserve to have my image deleted. Also, if you think it's ugly, keep it to yourself. Sorry, but I don't find this very respectful.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:It's not relevant because tons of people do fanart of all sorts of toons all the time. That doesn't make it necessary to mention in an encyclopedic knowledge-base. It's nothing against you. Anyone's would be deleted. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Well, this is a big slap in the face to art.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:Sorry, but that's how things are. Maybe you should check out our [[HRFWiki:Main Page|Fanstuff Wiki]]...? That's the creative companion to this wiki. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet. If you see any of that still around, a small train needs to be dropped. At least a caboose. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

==Hi, Dorian!==
Hi Dorian, I saw you wondered about my name. Well--in short--I made it up. It's basically the name I use everywhere, unless it's more formal (in which case I use the long form, Katori), or in the rare case where there's something better (like Coach Z on BHZ's forum ;)). I made it up a few years ago. Occassionally I use it in stories as well. :) Nice to meet you!! --[[User:Kato|Kato]]

== Countervandalism ==

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:^-^ I jus' do what anyone with the best interest of the wiki at heart would do. *sweatdrop* An' I did mess up a little towards the end there, if you check the move log. Shh! Is a secret. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Heh. I saw that error during that mess. Wasn't going to bring it up, but since you did...

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I can ask her. Right now, even. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Apology accepted. =) The important thing is that you learned from your mistake, right? Not gonna do it again, yeah? =) That's what really matters. We can be quite forgiving 'round here, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Unless your name has NSMC or ON WHEELS in it. And yes I did learn my lesson.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Some say "wick-ey", some say "wee-kee". I say the former. (See [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] at Wikipedia.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original. If I remember correctly, there was issues between the [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] that owns iTunes and the [[Wikipedia:Apple Records|Apple]] that owns the Beatles songs... so for a long time there were no Beatles songs on iTunes... I dunno if it was ever resolved. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.
Thanks again, [[User:Omegalord|Omegalord]]
:No problem. I have mine set like that myself. Hope we didn't set you back too much with our reverts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons.

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears.

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Heh. I am amused. Lucky him, though. Non-Master Ball catches can be terrible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

why haven't you made your sig yet? is it that you don't know how? neither do i. i don't remember....let's see...this is where ''cornman'' told me to go http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Help:Signatures#Customization. by the way, cornman is actually (http://hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Qermaq)

i call him cornman because i'm afraid i'll spell it wrong. anyway, check out that page, and if i can figure that out from that page, you can.

== Hurtful comments ==

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>
In closing, it hurt. A lot. I hope you know that I am a person like everyone else on this wiki, and I'm sure you've made a whole messload of mistakes before you got to this point. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:I apologise if I offended you. They were meant mostly in jest. Good-natured ribbing. Hence the =3. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
::I doubt ''that'' by a mile. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't. I've known Dorian for quite some time, and he's always been a kind and gentle person around me. He doesn't set out to insult others, and that's a fact. I think his apology is sincere. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

==The Batman==

You like The Batman? It's cool and all, but nothing compared to Batman TAS. The animation in Batman TAS is much better, and it's more serious. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 07:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, the '90s series was much better, but I don't think that means The Batman was bad by any means. It also happened to be still on TV when that list was written, so there's that as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

:Do both, if you can manage it. =3 Thank ye very much. I picked The King of Town because, of all the main characters, only he, Pom Pom, and Strong Mad hadn't been in a Fan Costumes toon yet (now it's only Pom Pom). The King's physique seemed easiest to make a costume of, so I went with him. And now you know... the rest of the story. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
::Well said, Paul Harvey. (I might do a Pom Pom costume...lord knows I've got the physique...) --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|I slayed the Kerrek. Be careful, or you're next.]] 17:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== cool! ==

you're on fan costumes. nice going, dorry! wait, that nickname implies a girl. i won't use it anymore. either way, they thought your costume was so cool/sucked so bad (really can't tell by the comment) to get it on costumes 08. :) /me thinks it's the coolest thing ever! 

{{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 21:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== About my revert of your edit... ==

For some reason, I thought you'd removed a line and so I reverted your edit, but you'd added it. Bit of a brain freeze, there - whoops. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 09:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
:I was wondering. =3 I was all "Well, if it's a reminder, why remove it?" Ah, well, we all make mistakes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I can confirm this, if that means anything to you. I have also seen this happen. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again.

::Woo! Thanks, guys. Glad to help out. I just did what anyone with the best interest of the wiki at heart would do. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::P.S. Yeah, Bubsty, go ahead. I was just gonna put it at the end of my new card game anyway.

== Yeah...sorry about that. ==

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like. The page has a history of that revert, and I was just following what [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] put last time I remember it being reverted (right down to the edit comment). Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Understandable, but we didn't write/say/direct this. I thought we were here to report and act as a reference. I know it will offend a few people, but we're just supposed to state the facts, aren't we? Maybe it deserves a vote.

Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::If you discussed it, it isn't out of order. Most people didn't like italics, though. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Wow. First troll in a while. What a waste of one of the few chances to troll nowadays.

In any case, thanks for the revert. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's what I'm here for... And it was a pretty sad attempt, truth be told. If I was a troll--which I am not, never was, never will be--I'd make something special of it, since the chance is rare, like you said. (Hopefully, we're not giving anyone any ideas. Although, my talk page and user page are rarely looked at, so there should be no problem.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Oh, and just for the record, we actually had a similar incident of vandalism only about a week ago, when someone decided to blank portions of [[Homestar Runner]] (a similarly feeble effort, quickly reverted).

:::Haha, yea, I saw that one. I think it was Jay that got him. But the block log has been pretty sparce as of late, there's only been like a dozen blocks (3 or 4 because of trolls) since NSMC.

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you.

:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined.

::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert).

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:I'd be totally willing to give it a try, although I can't promise top quality. But I shall still try! DorianGray never backs down from a challenge, believe it! I'll get on that first chance I have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think someone hacked onto my compy. [[User:Some stupid idiot]] somehow came up on my watchlist, but I didn't even know it existed! Please tell me it's a problem with Mediawiki. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 20:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Why did you remove my picture from the halloweener page? You gotta give me some credit. I'm a full wiki member, and I don't deserve to have my image deleted. Also, if you think it's ugly, keep it to yourself. Sorry, but I don't find this very respectful.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:It's not relevant because tons of people do fanart of all sorts of toons all the time. That doesn't make it necessary to mention in an encyclopedic knowledge-base. It's nothing against you. Anyone's would be deleted. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Well, this is a big slap in the face to art.

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet.

==Hi, Dorian!==
Hi Dorian, I saw you wondered about my name. Well--in short--I made it up. It's basically the name I use everywhere, unless it's more formal (in which case I use the long form, Katori), or in the rare case where there's something better (like Coach Z on BHZ's forum ;)). I made it up a few years ago. Occassionally I use it in stories as well. :) Nice to meet you!! --[[User:Kato|Kato]]

== Countervandalism ==

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:^-^ I jus' do what anyone with the best interest of the wiki at heart would do. *sweatdrop* An' I did mess up a little towards the end there, if you check the move log. Shh! Is a secret. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Heh. I saw that error during that mess. Wasn't going to bring it up, but since you did...

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I can ask her. Right now, even. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::She says she'd prefer it left as {{tl|permission}}. So that's all good then. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry ==
I don't think I said this or not, but you know when I created those sockpuppets on here? Well if you do then I am sorry for trying to trick people into thinking that I wasn't making them. Do you forgive me?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Apology accepted. =) The important thing is that you learned from your mistake, right? Not gonna do it again, yeah? =) That's what really matters. We can be quite forgiving 'round here, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Unless your name has NSMC or ON WHEELS in it. And yes I did learn my lesson.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Some say "wick-ey", some say "wee-kee". I say the former. (See [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] at Wikipedia.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original. If I remember correctly, there was issues between the [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] that owns iTunes and the [[Wikipedia:Apple Records|Apple]] that owns the Beatles songs... so for a long time there were no Beatles songs on iTunes... I dunno if it was ever resolved. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.
Thanks again, [[User:Omegalord|Omegalord]]
:No problem. I have mine set like that myself. Hope we didn't set you back too much with our reverts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd give you a defender sword, but I see you already have one. In any case, that was some first class reverting. Sorry there were no sysops on hand at the time to drop the hammer. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean.

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

No need to be a jerk, dude. "Ugh?" "Not at all aesthetically pleasing?" Give me a break. That's an exaggeration -- especially since it's a matter of your personal taste -- and regardless of your preferences, the harsh words are completely unnecessary.

I guess you don't want people to constructively contribute if you're going to behave like that.
:No offense meant. It's just that strong stylistic changes like this should be brought before the community and discussed beforehand, before any changes go into effect. Mebbe I was a little harsh, but it really does look bad. It doesn't fit at all. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears.

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!!

:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dorian! I was wondering...how did you manage to use my image and remove the arrow so quickly? It appears to be the same frame, but you might have just replaced it with a new one and kept the name.

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>
In closing, it hurt. A lot. I hope you know that I am a person like everyone else on this wiki, and I'm sure you've made a whole messload of mistakes before you got to this point. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:I apologise if I offended you. They were meant mostly in jest. Good-natured ribbing. Hence the =3. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
::I doubt ''that'' by a mile. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't. I've known Dorian for quite some time, and he's always been a kind and gentle person around me. He doesn't set out to insult others, and that's a fact. I think his apology is sincere. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, I do. That was a stupid thing for a sysop to do, put other users down like that. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

==The Batman==

You like The Batman? It's cool and all, but nothing compared to Batman TAS. The animation in Batman TAS is much better, and it's more serious. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 07:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, the '90s series was much better, but I don't think that means The Batman was bad by any means. It also happened to be still on TV when that list was written, so there's that as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

==Your KOT costume==

I don't know if I should applaud you or scratch my head, but well played, sir. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|I slayed the Kerrek. Be careful, or you're next.]] 07:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:Do both, if you can manage it. =3 Thank ye very much. I picked The King of Town because, of all the main characters, only he, Pom Pom, and Strong Mad hadn't been in a Fan Costumes toon yet (now it's only Pom Pom). The King's physique seemed easiest to make a costume of, so I went with him. And now you know... the rest of the story. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
::Well said, Paul Harvey. (I might do a Pom Pom costume...lord knows I've got the physique...) --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|I slayed the Kerrek. Be careful, or you're next.]] 17:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
::I can't help but notice that you seem to have a lot of condiments in your refrigerator. Are they supposed to be props for the photo, or are you just a big fan of hot dogs and burgers and such? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 12:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:I'm late, but congratulations on your costume nevertheless! Also, great photo. :D --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 18:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Your on the site! ==

Watch fan costumes 08!

== cool! ==

you're on fan costumes. nice going, dorry! wait, that nickname implies a girl. i won't use it anymore. either way, they thought your costume was so cool/sucked so bad (really can't tell by the comment) to get it on costumes 08. :) /me thinks it's the coolest thing ever! 

{{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 21:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:Y' know, Dorry, I was waiting to see that picture of you the whole time I was watching the toon (since you had shown it to me earlier)! Good luck with the medication. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== About my revert of your edit... ==

For some reason, I thought you'd removed a line and so I reverted your edit, but you'd added it. Bit of a brain freeze, there - whoops. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 09:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
:I was wondering. =3 I was all "Well, if it's a reminder, why remove it?" Ah, well, we all make mistakes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I can confirm this, if that means anything to you. I have also seen this happen. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki! ==

Hello, and welcome to [[HRWiki:About|The Homestar Runner Wiki]]! This is the best place, as you've probably noticed, to learn about anything and everything [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our [http://www.chat.hrwiki.org Chat Channel] is always available, and we also have a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum].
*[[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
*If you're still confused, check out the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] page.

If you have any questions, ask them up in the [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]] or ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], or any other of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops or admins]] ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users).

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Secret==

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay then. I'll try to log on tomorrow. But till then, I'm outta here! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:13, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Looks like someone beat me to the punch there, too. I did get to do some minor formatting, though... Ah, well. Next time, I won't get 12 hours sleep before starting a project. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thank You ==

Thanks, Dorian. I didn't even notice it happened. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:You're welcome. Any time. Just remember: CONSTANT VIGILANCE. (And if you know that quote, you get a cookie.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah! Thanks, dude. First time someone trolled my page :) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:First time someone trolled my page too. But then, I was reverting all his edits, so it was to be expected. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hey Dorian. This is a reminder that only your bottommost accept vote counts in STUFF. The one from the upper voting section has been removed. Please review this and make any changes if necessary. Thanks. (And thanks for voting for my revision. :) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, okay. I didn't know that. First time voting for a revision... Keep it the way it is, with the vote at the revised version. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::As it turns out, I was persuaded that the revision was wrong, so I split the second half of it into its own item. You should review it an make a new vote accordingly. Sorry for all the confusion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yes, please fix it for me. No one will question it if it comes from you, I've noticed. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again. But I'm ''not'' switching ''any more''... I hope.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, your memory of a decision not to transliterate The Cheat Talk is correct: see [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"]]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like.

Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Sorry, to keep posting, but I have one more thing. After counting every single e-mail password reminder I got, (which took a long time), I found out that I got 4992 password reminders. Maybe next time Dorian... {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
::::Aw, man. Although I hope there ''isn't'' a next time... Ah, well. I'll go change mine to second place. Or "one of the most". Or something like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==New Format==
Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::If you discussed it, it isn't out of order. Most people didn't like italics, though. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Well, we liked italics better than the <nowiki></nowiki> tags, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Awww, that's the sweetest guestbook signature! ==

Thanks! :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:53, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:Any time. Coz it's true. If I had a list of favourite users, you'd be on it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Really? How come? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:::I think it has to do with how you always get those OGGs for the debated wordstyles. That's pretty awesome. I mean, if I could do that, I'd be all the time making my own QOTWs. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Check out [http://www.goldwave.com Goldwave] (if you're a Windows user). It's what I use - all you gotta be able to do is record from your "What U Hear" or "Wave Out Mix" on your soundcard's mixer. STill, thanks. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:02, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::Wow, that seems complicated. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::It's a relatively simple and yet full-featured sound editor - personally, I think it's just as good as a more expensive package like Sound Forge. Give it a try. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::::All right, but what do I click on? Is it free? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::::On the main page, click on "Goldwave 5.12 is Available", then in the Download Links section, click on one of the links to download the program. It's shareware, and it will start prompting you to register it after a month (I think). It's something like $40 to register (or at least it was when I registered it, which was some time back). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:26, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Ooy. I dun care for shareware... Not if it's gonna prompt me for cash. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::::::If you can't afford the money-cost variety, might I recommend [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity]. Or even if you can! This is the best of both worlds: it's free, and it's really high-quality non-crap. I mean, the digital music labs at both Eastman School of Music and UNC have it on their computers. Plus it's open source so it's good karma. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::::Actually, I already have Audacity. Smileyface pointed me in such a direction, when the .OGGs were being added to [[Sound Effects|my pride and joy]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hey man! what's up? I didn't even realize [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux&diff=215077&oldid=215069 until now] I had [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux&diff=210301&oldid=210298 blatantly] ... um borrowed, your [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Stux&diff=208684&oldid=208666 nonsense incarnate line]. My my, no wonder I was coming up with such "great ideas". --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:Great minds think alike? Or it could simply be that "nonsense incarnate" is simply such a great description of everyone's favourite blue midget Homestar. I, in turn, can say I got it from his [[Homsar|character page]]'s opening lines.
:To be honest, I hadn't even noticed. But thanks for giving credit to me anyways. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== How could I forget? ==

In answer to your question of how I could forget to link Dot com's name correctly: actually, I forget that sort of thing all the time. I can be pretty absent-minded, especially when I'm thinking about otheer things, like a project that I'm working on. So, thanks for catching that one for me! I probably wouldn't have for quite some time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
:No problem. Maybe I'll watch it particularly, just in case it happens again. Or maybe he should just have a main namespace redirect. I mean, he's cool enough. ;) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks! ==

Thank you for reverting the Peasant's quest page. I was trying to revert it, but my mom was yelling at me to get off so I didn't have a chance.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 19:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
:No problem. I would've reverted it earlier, but wanted to see if anyone else would get to it first. All about teamwork, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Ayuh.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 21:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

==Trollage==

Wow. First troll in a while. What a waste of one of the few chances to troll nowadays. The least he could have done is waited until the dark of night, and then moved a million pages here there and everywhere... In any case, thanks for the revert. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's what I'm here for... And it was a pretty sad attempt, truth be told. If I was a troll--which I am not, never was, never will be--I'd make something special of it, since the chance is rare, like you said. (Hopefully, we're not giving anyone any ideas. Although, my talk page and user page are rarely looked at, so there should be no problem.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Oh, and just for the record, we actually had a similar incident of vandalism only about a week ago, when someone decided to blank portions of [[Homestar Runner]] (a similarly feeble effort, quickly reverted). So it actually hasn't been all that long. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Haha, yea, I saw that one. I think it was Jay that got him. But the block log has been pretty sparce as of late, there's only been like a dozen blocks (3 or 4 because of trolls) since NSMC. I feel kinda special to have been able to block one of the few trolls in the past while. And yeah DorianGray, you gotta watch for 'em. Take it from someone who once was one - Trolls are a sly bunch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC) DorianGray's mother was a hampster, and his father smelled of elderberries!
::::Oh, yeah... That one totally slipped my mind. Shows how pathetic it truly was, yeah? And not all are such a sly bunch, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] (I use the word "yeah?" too much, don't I?)
:::::Actully, it was PFloyedPotter who did the blanking, and *ahem* ''I'' reverted it. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:57, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
::::::Funny, that's not quite how I remember it... nor how the history of that page remembers it... {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:59, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

:::::::I'd like to take credit for having found the list minutes after it was created. Not exactly hard, though, since I ''was'' patrolling the recent changes at the time.

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Danke ==

Thanks for reverting my user page from that vandal. That's a first for me, getting vandalised. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I certainly wasn't going to just leave it, yeah? Oddly, I've reverted several people's first trollings. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you. I suppose with my revert-happy trigger finger I'm probably getting vandals mad at me by now and it was sure someone would come after me. Great way to celebrate the new year, don't you think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined. I know this coz it's happened to me several times. It's nice to get back in the trenches again, though, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert). Which I find interesting, since I'd never reverted anything by this guy. He seems to have been nothing but a troublemaker: he just want after me and [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] for no obvious reason. But I had always figured it would happen someday. And yes, it's good to be back in the trenches. I love reverting crappy edits again! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I know it's a little late, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year, and may you finally beat Stinkoam 20X6! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:20, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Thankies. And I'm getting pretty good at the -0 levels... I can get to somewhere 'round the middle of -0.2 (I think that's the one). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Ten days. That's ''very'' very. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Better late than never I always say. =D And my main problem with Stinkoman (aside from how small the life bar is, but that can't be helped) is that I have a slow response time. It's like, "Hey, that thing shot me. I'd better move in case it does it again." --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:I'd be totally willing to give it a try, although I can't promise top quality. But I shall still try! DorianGray never backs down from a challenge, believe it! I'll get on that first chance I have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Awesome! Thank you! Supashi-bo! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:And now it is complete. You can see the pic on DeviantART, complete with my comments, [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27817918/ here]. If you want to direct link to it, it's also on [http://photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/?action=view&current=DarthKatanaX.jpg PhotoBucket]. Feel free to copy and resize as you see fit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

That is so cool! Thanks so much for taking the time to draw my character. I'm-a post that on my user page. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

I cropped out everything but his head, and rotated, resized, and/or flipped it 'til it was layered perfectly over a normal Quote of the Week box with the current Homestar in it. And there it was: one old-school Homestar quote. However, since my editing software is now kaput, I can't do any more specialised quotes like that. Ah, well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah, DG. I ''saw'' what you did with the userbox that ''I'' added. It's OK; I found it prooty humorous. And I remember you being blocked on the 9th.

Why did you remove my picture from the halloweener page? You gotta give me some credit. I'm a full wiki member, and I don't deserve to have my image deleted. Also, if you think it's ugly, keep it to yourself. Sorry, but I don't find this very respectful.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:It's not relevant because tons of people do fanart of all sorts of toons all the time. That doesn't make it necessary to mention in an encyclopedic knowledge-base. It's nothing against you. Anyone's would be deleted. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Well, this is a big slap in the face to art.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet. If you see any of that still around, a small train needs to be dropped. At least a caboose. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

==Hi, Dorian!==
Hi Dorian, I saw you wondered about my name. Well--in short--I made it up. It's basically the name I use everywhere, unless it's more formal (in which case I use the long form, Katori), or in the rare case where there's something better (like Coach Z on BHZ's forum ;)). I made it up a few years ago. Occassionally I use it in stories as well. :) Nice to meet you!! --[[User:Kato|Kato]]

== Countervandalism ==

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I can ask her. Right now, even. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Apology accepted. =) The important thing is that you learned from your mistake, right? Not gonna do it again, yeah? =) That's what really matters. We can be quite forgiving 'round here, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Some say "wick-ey", some say "wee-kee". I say the former. (See [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] at Wikipedia.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original. If I remember correctly, there was issues between the [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] that owns iTunes and the [[Wikipedia:Apple Records|Apple]] that owns the Beatles songs... so for a long time there were no Beatles songs on iTunes...

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean.

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I guess you don't want people to constructively contribute if you're going to behave like that.

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article.

==Pokémon Help==
=== Eggs ===

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears. Is that helpful, or do you need more info? Have any other breeding questions? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, uhh... I knew about the Ditto thing where you put a pokemon with Ditto at the day care and you get an egg with the pokemon you put with ditto, but can you do it again? I want an egg with another Zapdos. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's the problem, then. You can hatch as many eggs as you want, but the one-of-a-kind Pokémon like Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebi, etc. can't be bred at all. [[User:76.5.105.107|76.5.105.107]] 19:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, Zapdos can't breed. It's in the No Eggs group. Generally, all legendary Pokémon, all baby Pokémon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and so on), and a few others (Unown, Nidoran (F), and Nidorina) can't breed. They're too special. If you want another Zapdos, you'll have to trade it from another game. Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::::But can you get more than one egg from the day care? If yes, how? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::They'll give you eggs your Pokémon produce whenever they produce them. Just leave two compatible Pokémon, and go off and do something else. Come back in a while, and maybe they've produced an egg. If you leave Ditto and another breedable Pokémon, you're guaranteed to get an egg sooner or later. You just have to go somewhere else and walk around a bit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

:Yeah, the '90s series was much better, but I don't think that means The Batman was bad by any means. It also happened to be still on TV when that list was written, so there's that as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

==Your KOT costume==

I don't know if I should applaud you or scratch my head, but well played, sir. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|I slayed the Kerrek. Be careful, or you're next.]] 07:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:Do both, if you can manage it. =3 Thank ye very much. I picked The King of Town because, of all the main characters, only he, Pom Pom, and Strong Mad hadn't been in a Fan Costumes toon yet (now it's only Pom Pom). The King's physique seemed easiest to make a costume of, so I went with him. And now you know... the rest of the story. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
::Well said, Paul Harvey. (I might do a Pom Pom costume...lord knows I've got the physique...) --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|I slayed the Kerrek. Be careful, or you're next.]] 17:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Your on the site! ==

Watch fan costumes 08!

== cool! ==

you're on fan costumes. nice going, dorry! wait, that nickname implies a girl. i won't use it anymore. either way, they thought your costume was so cool/sucked so bad (really can't tell by the comment) to get it on costumes 08. :) /me thinks it's the coolest thing ever! 

{{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 21:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== About my revert of your edit... ==

For some reason, I thought you'd removed a line and so I reverted your edit, but you'd added it. Bit of a brain freeze, there - whoops. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 09:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
:I was wondering. =3 I was all "Well, if it's a reminder, why remove it?" Ah, well, we all make mistakes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I can confirm this, if that means anything to you. I have also seen this happen. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki! ==

Hello, and welcome to [[HRWiki:About|The Homestar Runner Wiki]]! This is the best place, as you've probably noticed, to learn about anything and everything [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our [http://www.chat.hrwiki.org Chat Channel] is always available, and we also have a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum].
*[[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
*If you're still confused, check out the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] page.

If you have any questions, ask them up in the [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]] or ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], or any other of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops or admins]] ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users). I'm sure you'll catch on quickly, and all of the users are very nice here. Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it, and I hope you stick around and join our team. Have fun! {{User:Pertmywert/sig}}, [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee]]

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Secret==

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay then. I'll try to log on tomorrow. But till then, I'm outta here! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:13, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Looks like someone beat me to the punch there, too. I did get to do some minor formatting, though... Ah, well. Next time, I won't get 12 hours sleep before starting a project. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Oh, okay. I didn't know that. First time voting for a revision... Keep it the way it is, with the vote at the revised version. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::As it turns out, I was persuaded that the revision was wrong, so I split the second half of it into its own item. You should review it an make a new vote accordingly. Sorry for all the confusion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yes, please fix it for me. No one will question it if it comes from you, I've noticed. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again. But I'm ''not'' switching ''any more''... I hope.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== You Following Me? ==

i was reading over my talk in random things, and ive gotten a lot of responses from you. thanks! now i know that other people patrol the recent changes pages:)-{{User:Homsar7/sig}}
:Oh, yeah. Lots of people do. That's pretty much how I spend my day. Checkin' the recent changes for stuffs. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Cool. I'll definitely have to take a look. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
== Once again...==
Like the other countless vandalism reverts you've done, someone has to thank you. So I will. :) Seriously, you astound me with your amazing abilities to represent the wiki like you do. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 19:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:^-^ I jus' do what anyone with the best interest of the wiki at heart would do. *sweatdrop* An' I did mess up a little towards the end there, if you check the move log. Shh! Is a secret. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Heh. I saw that error during that mess. Wasn't going to bring it up, but since you did... Well, you might be interested in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fhqwhgads&diff=prev&oldid=282268 this edit]. Heh.

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I can ask her. Right now, even. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::She says she'd prefer it left as {{tl|permission}}. So that's all good then. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry ==
I don't think I said this or not, but you know when I created those sockpuppets on here? Well if you do then I am sorry for trying to trick people into thinking that I wasn't making them. Do you forgive me?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Apology accepted. =) The important thing is that you learned from your mistake, right? Not gonna do it again, yeah? =) That's what really matters. We can be quite forgiving 'round here, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Unless your name has NSMC or ON WHEELS in it. And yes I did learn my lesson.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:::That's true. We don't have much forgiveness for those guys. They don't learn, or try to reform. Unlike you, eh? Good luck to you, and all your wiki...ing. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Some say "wick-ey", some say "wee-kee". I say the former. (See [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] at Wikipedia.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I say it the same way. Which is why I was wondering. Thanks again.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 22:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original. If I remember correctly, there was issues between the [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] that owns iTunes and the [[Wikipedia:Apple Records|Apple]] that owns the Beatles songs... so for a long time there were no Beatles songs on iTunes... I dunno if it was ever resolved. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Cool... Thanks for the info. That's neat. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.
Thanks again, [[User:Omegalord|Omegalord]]
:No problem. I have mine set like that myself. Hope we didn't set you back too much with our reverts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

==Recent Valiant Efforts==

I'd give you a defender sword, but I see you already have one. In any case, that was some first class reverting. Sorry there were no sysops on hand at the time to drop the hammer. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

== Trying to make this Userbox work ==
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean. It works ON my user page and outside of the <userboxsampes> tag, just not inside of it. Any idea how to make that work?

:::Thanks Loafing, but I think you misunderstand the problem. It will work inside that. Look at my userpage and you will see what I made.

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

No need to be a jerk, dude. "Ugh?" "Not at all aesthetically pleasing?" Give me a break. That's an exaggeration -- especially since it's a matter of your personal taste -- and regardless of your preferences, the harsh words are completely unnecessary.

I guess you don't want people to constructively contribute if you're going to behave like that.

== quite certain he says "oh my lan" ==

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

Thanks for removing my post for no reason except that you thought I should "take it to the forum". Tape Leg's wiki page has a note saying that some think it's the worst episode. I mentioned that perhaps "Rough Copy" was, which would carry a similar note if their was a concensus.

Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article.

==Pokémon Help==
=== Eggs ===

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears. Is that helpful, or do you need more info? Have any other breeding questions? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, uhh... I knew about the Ditto thing where you put a pokemon with Ditto at the day care and you get an egg with the pokemon you put with ditto, but can you do it again? I want an egg with another Zapdos. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's the problem, then. You can hatch as many eggs as you want, but the one-of-a-kind Pokémon like Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebi, etc. can't be bred at all. [[User:76.5.105.107|76.5.105.107]] 19:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, Zapdos can't breed. It's in the No Eggs group. Generally, all legendary Pokémon, all baby Pokémon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and so on), and a few others (Unown, Nidoran (F), and Nidorina) can't breed. They're too special. If you want another Zapdos, you'll have to trade it from another game. Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::::But can you get more than one egg from the day care? If yes, how? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::They'll give you eggs your Pokémon produce whenever they produce them. Just leave two compatible Pokémon, and go off and do something else. Come back in a while, and maybe they've produced an egg. If you leave Ditto and another breedable Pokémon, you're guaranteed to get an egg sooner or later. You just have to go somewhere else and walk around a bit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I can confirm this, if that means anything to you. I have also seen this happen. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki! ==

Hello, and welcome to [[HRWiki:About|The Homestar Runner Wiki]]! This is the best place, as you've probably noticed, to learn about anything and everything [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our [http://www.chat.hrwiki.org Chat Channel] is always available, and we also have a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum].
*[[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
*If you're still confused, check out the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] page.

If you have any questions, ask them up in the [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]] or ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], or any other of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops or admins]] ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users). I'm sure you'll catch on quickly, and all of the users are very nice here. Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it, and I hope you stick around and join our team. Have fun! {{User:Pertmywert/sig}}, [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee]]

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Secret==

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay then. I'll try to log on tomorrow. But till then, I'm outta here! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:13, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Looks like someone beat me to the punch there, too. I did get to do some minor formatting, though... Ah, well. Next time, I won't get 12 hours sleep before starting a project. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thank You ==

Thanks, Dorian. I didn't even notice it happened. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:You're welcome. Any time. Just remember: CONSTANT VIGILANCE. (And if you know that quote, you get a cookie.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah! Thanks, dude. First time someone trolled my page :) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:First time someone trolled my page too. But then, I was reverting all his edits, so it was to be expected. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Bottommost vote ==

Hey Dorian. This is a reminder that only your bottommost accept vote counts in STUFF. The one from the upper voting section has been removed. Please review this and make any changes if necessary. Thanks. (And thanks for voting for my revision. :) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, okay. I didn't know that. First time voting for a revision... Keep it the way it is, with the vote at the revised version. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::As it turns out, I was persuaded that the revision was wrong, so I split the second half of it into its own item. You should review it an make a new vote accordingly. Sorry for all the confusion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yes, please fix it for me. No one will question it if it comes from you, I've noticed. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again. But I'm ''not'' switching ''any more''... I hope.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, your memory of a decision not to transliterate The Cheat Talk is correct: see [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"]]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like.

:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step.

In answer to your question of how I could forget to link Dot com's name correctly: actually, I forget that sort of thing all the time.

I probably wouldn't have for quite some time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
:No problem. Maybe I'll watch it particularly, just in case it happens again. Or maybe he should just have a main namespace redirect. I mean, he's cool enough. ;) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks! ==

Thank you for reverting the Peasant's quest page. I was trying to revert it, but my mom was yelling at me to get off so I didn't have a chance.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 19:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
:No problem. I would've reverted it earlier, but wanted to see if anyone else would get to it first. All about teamwork, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Ayuh.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 21:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

==Trollage==

Wow. First troll in a while. What a waste of one of the few chances to troll nowadays. The least he could have done is waited until the dark of night, and then moved a million pages here there and everywhere... In any case, thanks for the revert. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's what I'm here for... And it was a pretty sad attempt, truth be told. If I was a troll--which I am not, never was, never will be--I'd make something special of it, since the chance is rare, like you said. (Hopefully, we're not giving anyone any ideas. Although, my talk page and user page are rarely looked at, so there should be no problem.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Oh, and just for the record, we actually had a similar incident of vandalism only about a week ago, when someone decided to blank portions of [[Homestar Runner]] (a similarly feeble effort, quickly reverted). So it actually hasn't been all that long. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Haha, yea, I saw that one. I think it was Jay that got him. But the block log has been pretty sparce as of late, there's only been like a dozen blocks (3 or 4 because of trolls) since NSMC. I feel kinda special to have been able to block one of the few trolls in the past while. And yeah DorianGray, you gotta watch for 'em. Take it from someone who once was one - Trolls are a sly bunch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC) DorianGray's mother was a hampster, and his father smelled of elderberries!

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Danke ==

Thanks for reverting my user page from that vandal. That's a first for me, getting vandalised. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I certainly wasn't going to just leave it, yeah? Oddly, I've reverted several people's first trollings. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you. I suppose with my revert-happy trigger finger I'm probably getting vandals mad at me by now and it was sure someone would come after me. Great way to celebrate the new year, don't you think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined. I know this coz it's happened to me several times. It's nice to get back in the trenches again, though, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert). Which I find interesting, since I'd never reverted anything by this guy. He seems to have been nothing but a troublemaker: he just want after me and [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] for no obvious reason. But I had always figured it would happen someday. And yes, it's good to be back in the trenches. I love reverting crappy edits again! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:I'd be totally willing to give it a try, although I can't promise top quality. But I shall still try! DorianGray never backs down from a challenge, believe it! I'll get on that first chance I have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Awesome! Thank you! Supashi-bo! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:And now it is complete. You can see the pic on DeviantART, complete with my comments, [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27817918/ here].

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet.

Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki.

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.

::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original.

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean.

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons.

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

Thanks for removing my post for no reason except that you thought I should "take it to the forum". Tape Leg's wiki page has a note saying that some think it's the worst episode. I mentioned that perhaps "Rough Copy" was, which would carry a similar note if their was a concensus. You had no reason to remove my post, but hey - if you want to be a jerk about a Homestar Runner wiki '''TALK''' page, that's your problem. -- Someguyerson
:Such information does belong on the forum, not on the wiki. And please don't be rude to other editors. Thanks.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there. DorianGray was acting perfectly within [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#Talk post content|policy]]. Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article. Now, [[tape leg]] is an exception, because the issue is actually addressed by Strong Bad. So, I understand why you consider your talk page post to be legitimate, but DorianGray actually did the right thing.

:Regardless, your personal attacks of DorianGray were completely uncalled for. If you disagree with a user's actions, it is simple to say so in a civil way without insulting them.

==Pokémon Help==
=== Eggs ===

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears. Is that helpful, or do you need more info? Have any other breeding questions? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, uhh... I knew about the Ditto thing where you put a pokemon with Ditto at the day care and you get an egg with the pokemon you put with ditto, but can you do it again? I want an egg with another Zapdos. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's the problem, then. You can hatch as many eggs as you want, but the one-of-a-kind Pokémon like Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebi, etc. can't be bred at all. [[User:76.5.105.107|76.5.105.107]] 19:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, Zapdos can't breed. It's in the No Eggs group. Generally, all legendary Pokémon, all baby Pokémon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and so on), and a few others (Unown, Nidoran (F), and Nidorina) can't breed. They're too special. If you want another Zapdos, you'll have to trade it from another game. Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::::But can you get more than one egg from the day care? If yes, how? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::They'll give you eggs your Pokémon produce whenever they produce them. Just leave two compatible Pokémon, and go off and do something else. Come back in a while, and maybe they've produced an egg. If you leave Ditto and another breedable Pokémon, you're guaranteed to get an egg sooner or later. You just have to go somewhere else and walk around a bit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

:You're quite welcome. I noticed especially the sudden disappearance of about 5000 bits of data. Big red flag, that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:38, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

== Possible vandal report. ==

Ok, for a while, I'd suspected that "MichaelXX2" is actually the same "MikeTigershark" that was banned twice already given the similar nature of his confusing and often irrelevant edits, and one of his [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=senior_prom&curid=23493&diff=561466&oldid=561465 recent edits] where he links to a nonexistant "facebook.com" page seems to confirm that, as his second "sockpuppet" account [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Homestar_Runner_Gets_Something_Stuck_In_His_Craw&diff=prev&oldid=557392 did the same thing]. I suspect the admins have already figured this, but I thought I'd give you a heads up, anyhow. (Seeing as you're the last admin to have reverted one of his edits...) -{{User:YK/sig}} 03:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw you fixing [[theme park]] awhile ago and figured you might like to help Slipknot and me out.

I don't mind "woah" because it is a reasonable phonetic version of how some people say it (can't remember if Strong Bad does though). Totally with you on "alright." I hate that one too.

== Hurtful comments ==

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>
In closing, it hurt. A lot. I hope you know that I am a person like everyone else on this wiki, and I'm sure you've made a whole messload of mistakes before you got to this point. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, the '90s series was much better, but I don't think that means The Batman was bad by any means. It also happened to be still on TV when that list was written, so there's that as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== About my revert of your edit... ==

For some reason, I thought you'd removed a line and so I reverted your edit, but you'd added it. Bit of a brain freeze, there - whoops. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 09:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I can confirm this, if that means anything to you. I have also seen this happen. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our [http://www.chat.hrwiki.org Chat Channel] is always available, and we also have a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum].
*[[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
*If you're still confused, check out the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] page.

If you have any questions, ask them up in the [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]] or ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], or any other of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops or admins]] ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users).

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay then. I'll try to log on tomorrow. But till then, I'm outta here! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:13, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Looks like someone beat me to the punch there, too. I did get to do some minor formatting, though... Ah, well. Next time, I won't get 12 hours sleep before starting a project. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thank You ==

Thanks, Dorian. I didn't even notice it happened. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Dorian. This is a reminder that only your bottommost accept vote counts in STUFF. The one from the upper voting section has been removed. Please review this and make any changes if necessary. Thanks. (And thanks for voting for my revision. :) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, okay. I didn't know that. First time voting for a revision... Keep it the way it is, with the vote at the revised version. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::As it turns out, I was persuaded that the revision was wrong, so I split the second half of it into its own item. You should review it an make a new vote accordingly. Sorry for all the confusion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yes, please fix it for me. No one will question it if it comes from you, I've noticed. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again. But I'm ''not'' switching ''any more''... I hope.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

==I wouldn't put ''anything'' in that yellow man's mouth!==
Yes, your memory of a decision not to transliterate The Cheat Talk is correct: see [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"]]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

== Yeah...sorry about that. ==

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like. The page has a history of that revert, and I was just following what [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] put last time I remember it being reverted (right down to the edit comment). Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Understandable, but we didn't write/say/direct this. I thought we were here to report and act as a reference. I know it will offend a few people, but we're just supposed to state the facts, aren't we? Maybe it deserves a vote.

Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::If you discussed it, it isn't out of order. Most people didn't like italics, though. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Danke ==

Thanks for reverting my user page from that vandal. That's a first for me, getting vandalised. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I certainly wasn't going to just leave it, yeah? Oddly, I've reverted several people's first trollings. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you. I suppose with my revert-happy trigger finger I'm probably getting vandals mad at me by now and it was sure someone would come after me. Great way to celebrate the new year, don't you think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined. I know this coz it's happened to me several times. It's nice to get back in the trenches again, though, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert). Which I find interesting, since I'd never reverted anything by this guy. He seems to have been nothing but a troublemaker: he just want after me and [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] for no obvious reason. But I had always figured it would happen someday.

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:I'd be totally willing to give it a try, although I can't promise top quality. But I shall still try! DorianGray never backs down from a challenge, believe it! I'll get on that first chance I have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Awesome! Thank you! Supashi-bo! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki.

It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Some say "wick-ey", some say "wee-kee". I say the former. (See [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] at Wikipedia.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original.

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean.

:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

== Removing my post ==

Thanks for removing my post for no reason except that you thought I should "take it to the forum". Tape Leg's wiki page has a note saying that some think it's the worst episode. I mentioned that perhaps "Rough Copy" was, which would carry a similar note if their was a concensus. You had no reason to remove my post, but hey - if you want to be a jerk about a Homestar Runner wiki '''TALK''' page, that's your problem. -- Someguyerson
:Such information does belong on the forum, not on the wiki. And please don't be rude to other editors. Thanks.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there. DorianGray was acting perfectly within [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#Talk post content|policy]]. Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article. Now, [[tape leg]] is an exception, because the issue is actually addressed by Strong Bad. So, I understand why you consider your talk page post to be legitimate, but DorianGray actually did the right thing.

:Regardless, your personal attacks of DorianGray were completely uncalled for. If you disagree with a user's actions, it is simple to say so in a civil way without insulting them. Please refrain from doing this in the future to avoid having your editing privileges restricted. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

==Pokémon Help==
=== Eggs ===

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears. Is that helpful, or do you need more info? Have any other breeding questions? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, uhh... I knew about the Ditto thing where you put a pokemon with Ditto at the day care and you get an egg with the pokemon you put with ditto, but can you do it again? I want an egg with another Zapdos. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's the problem, then. You can hatch as many eggs as you want, but the one-of-a-kind Pokémon like Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebi, etc. can't be bred at all. [[User:76.5.105.107|76.5.105.107]] 19:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, Zapdos can't breed. It's in the No Eggs group. Generally, all legendary Pokémon, all baby Pokémon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and so on), and a few others (Unown, Nidoran (F), and Nidorina) can't breed. They're too special. If you want another Zapdos, you'll have to trade it from another game. Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::::But can you get more than one egg from the day care? If yes, how? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::They'll give you eggs your Pokémon produce whenever they produce them. Just leave two compatible Pokémon, and go off and do something else. Come back in a while, and maybe they've produced an egg. If you leave Ditto and another breedable Pokémon, you're guaranteed to get an egg sooner or later. You just have to go somewhere else and walk around a bit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Heh. I am amused. Lucky him, though. Non-Master Ball catches can be terrible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, for a while, I'd suspected that "MichaelXX2" is actually the same "MikeTigershark" that was banned twice already given the similar nature of his confusing and often irrelevant edits, and one of his [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=senior_prom&curid=23493&diff=561466&oldid=561465 recent edits] where he links to a nonexistant "facebook.com" page seems to confirm that, as his second "sockpuppet" account [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Homestar_Runner_Gets_Something_Stuck_In_His_Craw&diff=prev&oldid=557392 did the same thing].

== Hurtful comments ==

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I was fairly certain there was another in the office... Myabe I'll look around again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button.

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::Yep, I concur with Phlip's suggestion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Looking at [[Talk:Main_Page#Read-Only_Forum|this]], it appears a lot of the forum users have been giving you grief over the locked forum. I just would like to pause for a moment and say thank you. You have dealt with this matter professionally, and I would like to say that in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. Thank you for managing this problem well. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

It's dot com is spending hours and hours (literally) of his spare time fixing the fanstuff wiki for you, and the last thing he needs (I'm sure of it) is someone poking him with a stick continuously, asking if he's done yet.

From my old fanstuff talk page:
<blockquote>
[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Recentchanges Check this out]

It's the recent changes page of The Mario Wiki. I made an account there, and I realized on the recent changes page, there's a little section for who's currently logged in. I figured I'd ask you if we could possibly make this a feature here. It would make things alot easier when trying to contact users and such. --{{User:TheDenzel/sig}} 18:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
:[...] This would indeed be interesting, but people shouldn't have their identities exposed just because they're browsing. Part of what a lot of people like about reading a wiki is that you're not publicly logged unless you edit. And there's the thing: one should be able to tell who's online well enough just by looking at the recent changes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Or do you mean something that only sysops and/or developers could see? If so, we already have enough behind-the-scenes access to handle our relatively minor spam load. Thanks though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:I mean that only registered users can see, and from my knowledge of it, noone EVER uses it but me, for some reason on the other wikis I go on. It would just help alot. {{User:Red And Black/siggy}} 19:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

:Ah, I was just about to post on your talk page. I'm sorry, but that particular user is a vandal who has been blocked from editing forever. I do appreciate that you welcome new users, and I do know that it's confusing that some users should not actually be welcomed. I had the same problem when I started! Only very few users are vandals, and it's usually safe to welcome everybody.

:That is a very good point. There are many subpages that really shouldn't be there according to our policy, and I have been meaning to bring this up for a while now. It's just a lot of work, and so I've so far concentrated mainly on new subpages. And really, only policing subpages is no fun, so I'm mostly doing other things, as I guess most other users will do, too. Apart from that, I like Trey's response on your talk page, and his post [[HRWiki_talk:User_space#Uploaded_images_subpages|here]], which must have been inspired by your question. And hey, you might have a good idea for another TOD tomorrow or next week. Never say never ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

==i has a deletion==
Hey Loafing. I was wondering if you can delete my "i has a crayon" personal image on my userpage. Instead of that, I am doing a Nintendo challenge like Trey.

'''PNG GUY:''' I use an exe called PNGOUT[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pngout] which was created by the Ken Silverman, creator of the Build engine used in Duke Nukem 3D, amongst other games.

Since you are always voting '''delete''' on my articles.(The bad ones, at least.) I figured you would know what a necessary or unnecessary one would be. Anyways, should I make [[Squinting]] on account of Strong Bad doing so to read long or unclear words. {{User:SantanaHomerunner/sig}}

:SantanaHomerunner, I do appreciate your eagerness to contribute to the wiki. However, you often create new articles too quickly. Next time, before you create the article, check if this is already covered elsewhere (as for example with [[Basketballs]]), ask yourself if this would actually make for an interesting article ([[Squinting]] is for example a very normal thing to do, so it's not very notable). Also, make sure you go through the points listed in our [[HRWiki:Inclusion guidelines|inclusion guidelines]] to see if that article would have a chance. You've created 2 decent articles, which is much more than most new users can say, so you really don't need to stress. However, 15 (!) of your articles have turned out deleted, redirected or will soon be. You need to make sure that you'll be more productive, as it is a lot of work for everybody to discuss those articles. Keep an tranglin'!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Yo, I made an edit to a page, you reverted it (which is fine, this is why we have Wiki's) but, you posted your reason as "rv. complete stretch". If you could please tell me what that means, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks. {{unsigned|69.250.235.131|23:17, 22 January 2008}}
:Cool, cool! Here's what it means: "rv" means "revert". That's so that people can immediately see the nature of my edit. "Stretch" means that the connection between the quotes from the toon and the movie was exaggerated. The Duke Nukem [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=50_emails&diff=prev&oldid=537749 quote] is (as far as I know) not unique to the game, and even if it was, it's not obvious that Homestar's quote was actually referring to it.

== About your revert on TGS 8 ==

I said the trolls' language was a take-off on Klingon, and you said it was too big of an assumption to make. It seemed to be a pretty clear reference to me, even though it may take a few steps to perceive it as such. To me, So and So's death by twelve-sided die makes sense if you see the trolls as nerds in costume, which would also explain why they want So and So's autograph (because of her new Goth look). The fact that they are nerds thus makes it possible that at least one would know how to speak Klingon. In either case, it does bear some resemblence to Klingon, whether coincidental or intentional, so maybe I could have made my edit a weaker yet more acceptable statement by simply saying so. [[Special:Contributions/24.1.72.253|24.1.72.253]] 19:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:As you said, it takes a few steps to perceive it as a reference to Klingon. Seeing the trolls as nerds in costume is not something that most editors would agree with, I believe. Trolls and Klingons also don't match, as trolls are fantasy and Klingons are science fiction. It's a rather weak link, and not quite enough to be listed on an article, I'm afraid.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Transcript==
''{The title screen, in the style of a needlepoint sampler, appears, with the words "A Death-Defying Decemberween", a helmet, and some holly. Cut to a snow-covered field, where a group of characters is standing, all dressed in winter attire, and adorning a snowman with [[The Stick]]. Strong Bad enters from the side, carrying some hot chocolate with a few marshmallows inside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hot choco, everyone! Hope it's not too... late! Choco? Late? Choco-late? Huh?

'''BUBS:''' What a cut-up!

'''COACH Z:''' A real ham!

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE FIFTIES!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, Strong Bad! What a wonderful byproduct of your parole!

''{She takes a cup. Then, Homestar enters from the side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Psshft! Whatever! That's not death-defying entertainment, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I wasn't talking about... Hot choco, I was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! This Decemberween, I, homestarrunner.com, will attempt to sled down... The Steep Deep!

''{Cut to a shot of the Steep Deep, a mountain with a slope at an extreme angle}''

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''COACH Z:''' The Steep Deep! No one's ever been brave-slash-boneheaded enough to try and conquer that monster!

'''BUBS:''' You'll break your face into an unrecognizable clump!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, dog! No way, Bubs! My face doesn't know the meaning of "unrecognizable clump"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about the rest of you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll ask them later. ''{leans in toward Strong Bad}'' Just mark your calendars! Pre-game starts at twelve, kickoff's set for 12:30. ''{leaps into the air}'' Death-defying entertainment! ''{"tainment" echoes a few times}''

''{the scene cuts to the title card, now showing an image of Homestar's jump}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to Homestar Runner's Death-Defying Decemberween Special.

''{applause. The scene fades into a set for a decorated home. Homestar is playing the piano. He is wearing a jacket and tie, and has a pipe in his mouth. Bubs' arm can be seen through the window, periodically throwing snow}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{takes the pipe out}'' Oh, hi! I didn't see you come in. ''{sets the pipe on the piano}'' Sure is cold out there. Would you like a cup of hot jones? ''{produces a steamy mug of liquid topped with what seems to be whipped cream and red sprinkles and hands it to the viewer's point of view}''

'''AUDIENCE MEMBERS:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh! Ooh!

'''MAN:''' ''{off screen}'' Hot ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's better.

''{The camera swings around to the side, revealing Coach Z's arm holding the mug, which quickly moves out of the shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{begins walking, and a wall calendar comes into view. It reads: December 24 "The D'weeve, yo!"}'' You know, nothing says "Decemberween" like death-defying entertainment. That's why, this Decemberween, I'm going to attempt to sled down the Steep Deep.

'''AUDIENCE MEMBERS:''' ''{collective gasps}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{ducks down, then pops up closer to the camera}'' I might could die. ''{the audience laughs}''

''{the doorbell rings}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder who that could be?

''{the door swings open, making the set wobble, and revealing Bubs, who is carrying a cardboard box with a bow on it. The audience laughs and cheers as Bubs waves.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hey, Homestar! You didn't tell me you were having a holiday special over tonight!

''{the audience laughs. Homestar and Bubs also fake laughter. Coach Z's arm can now be seen throwing snow outside the window.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Come on in, Bubs. Care to stick around for some soft focus and sparkle filters?

'''BUBS:''' I'd love to! ''{a wreath frames the scene, which goes out of focus and sparkles appear, all accompanied by a small harp strum}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, Bubs! Say, Bubs! What's in the package?

'''BUBS:''' ''{walks over to the piano, where Homestar is}'' Well, open it up!

''{Homestar takes the box and opens it, pulling out a small sled}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gee whiz! ''{audience oohs and ahhs}'' A brand new sleddin' board! Just what I needed for the Steep Deep!

'''BUBS:''' And I pre-printed an epitaph on there, ''{camera shows the epitaph on the sled, which reads: "Here Lies Homestar Runner.com Death-Fying Entertainer <strike>and Father of Six</strike>"}'' so it can double as a gravestone in case you don't make it! ''{audience laughs}''

''{camera zooms in on Homestar, who groans long and loud}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{mouth wiggles}'' Gulp! ''{audience laughs}''

''{cut to the Brothers' Strong's Basement, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch in front of the TV}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a crock-pot full of smaller crock-pots! ''I'' should be the one sitting on a flimsy holiday-themed set on a soundstage promoting ''my'' upcoming daredevilry! ''{dejectedly}'' Stupid conditions of my parole!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{leaps off the couch}'' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{begins to walk off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where d'you think ''you're'' going?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{explanatory The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A previous engagement? Since when do you talk like that?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{walks out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs his gloves together}'' This is very unsuspicious behavior for The Cheat. Which, of course, makes it ''very'' suspicious! As soon as I finish this cup of hot jones, ''{grabs the mug sitting next to him}'' I'm gonna find out what he's up to. ''{Strong Bad slurps noisily from the mug}'' Oh, ''{smacks lips}'' that's good jones.

''{iris to a shot at the foot of the Steep Deep at night. Strong Bad sneaks in from the left and ducks behind a bush}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{peers out from behind the bush}'' What the crap?

''{over-the-shoulder shot from behind Strong Bad, revealing Homestar and The Cheat dumping snow on a mattress}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, The Cheat. ''{sets shovel down}'' Now, you're sure no one will see this buried here when I sled down?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, man. I own you big time for this one. ''{begins shoveling again}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, The Cheat's helping Homestar the cheat, eh? I wonder what would happen without that mattress there... ''{scratches his chin}'' Hmm...

''{scene fades out}''

''{record scratch. Scene immediately brightens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Homestar would probably die! I gotta go move it!

''{scene fades out again}''

''{Another record scratch. Scene immediately brightens again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was really wondering for a second there.

''{scene cuts to the next day, where the crowd is gathered in front of the Steep Deep.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover; over loudspeaker}'' Ladies and gentlemen, here he is! ''{cut to a long shot of the Steep Deep, where Homestar is perched precariously on top}'' The man that's about to do a thing! Homestar Runner!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm not very good at speeches...! ''{slight echo}''

''{long, expectant pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leans forward and sleds down the hill}'' WAAAAAH! ''{continues screaming throughout}''

''{silhouetted shot of Homestar sledding down the incline.}''

''{several rapidly changing shots of a blurry Homestar speeding down the hill, and of the shocked expressions of the crowd. The shots get closer and change more quickly until it cuts back to the silhouetted shot, where Homestar reaches the bottom of the hill, flips 90 degrees, and lands gently, with a small ding. Triumphant fanfare.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{waving arms wildly}'' He made it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{surprised}'' I made it!?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{also surprised}'' He made it?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around, then gets up}'' ''{angrily}'' The Cheat! What happened to my mattress filled with hammers, broken glass, and candy canes sucked down 'til they're all pointy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, that mattress was full of danger? Why would you want to land on something like that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{walking up}'' All right, Homestar! It's time to go to my parents' house for Decemberween brunch!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dully sarcastic}'' Oh, the joy and the glory. ''{angrily}'' Because I ''safely'' made it down the Steep Deep, ''{dully sarcastic again}'' I get to spend another Decemberween with Mrs. Marzipan and her latest husband.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{walking away}'' Seth is having some of his philosophy department colleagues over again this year. ''{Homestar hangs his head and walks off with her}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grinning widely}'' Have fun, Homestar! ''{waves}'' Thanks for the death-defying entertainment! ''{turns to The Cheat}'' I gotta give Homestar credit. Using ridiculously elaborate schemes involving ''{pulls out the pipe}'' bone-curdling injuries to avoid spending time with family ''{the piano backdrop lowers into place}'' is the kind of Decemberween tradition I can get behind. ''{wreath frame appears}'' ''{pulls out a plank of wood with some nails stuck in it}'' Now work me over with this two-by-four before we have to go to Great Gamaw's again. ''{tosses the plank to The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{rears back with the plank, as the soft focus and sparkle filters reappear with the harp flourish}''

''{cut to a black screen reading "The End." just as the plank hits Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OW! ''{the audience laughs}''

''{cut to Homestar and Marzipan (partly out of frame) seated in wooden chairs. Homestar is once again wearing his suit and tie, and still wearing the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{faking laughter}'' Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho. ''{dully sarcastic}'' Brown sweater. ''{holds up the sweater}'' It's like you read my mind. ''{turns}'' And my compliments to the Seth. The food was atrocious.

''{cut back to the "The End." screen, which now also has a "back" button}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Parole|Parole]] is a court-approved early release from prison on certain conditions specified by the court. Violation of these conditions mean the person in question is returned to prison to complete their sentence.
*An [[Wikipedia:Epitaph|epitaph]] is a message printed or engraved into a gravestone explaining the person's achievements.
*Homestar's blatantly self-aware holiday special, complete with his affected pipe and sweater, and the soft focus and sparkle filters parodied in this short are a hallmark of the many holiday variety shows from the 1960s and 1970s.

===Trivia===
*You can hear one of the audience screaming "[[Onion Bubs]]" (a reference to the email [[original]]) when Bubs enters the TV show set.

===Remarks===
*After the sled run, Marzipan says they are going to a brunch, yet Homestar scheduled his sled run at 12:30, around lunchtime.
*Strong Bad's great-grandmother was last mentioned in [[looking old]]; however, she was said to be living in a nursing home and not in her own house, as vaguely suggested by Strong Bad.

===Goofs===
*While sledding down the Steep Deep, Homestar Runner appears to be tilting backwards when the screen pans out to a silhouette of the hill, both as he starts to move down the hill and as he lands, although he is seen sitting up in the sled during his multiple high-speed close-ups between the two times that the silhouette of the hill is shown.
*When Homestar Runner is playing the piano at the beginning of the TV show, the notes are going down, but he plays the keys going up.
*The epitaph cannot be seen on the sled after it is shown on the TV show set.
*On the TV show set, Homestar Runner's outfit buttons left side over right, but while presumably wearing the same outfit sitting next to Marzipan at the end of the toon, it buttons right side over left. Men's shirts usually button left side over right.
*After Coach Z pulls the hot jones offscreen during Homestar Runner's televised special, Homestar's jacket shading becomes lighter than the actual jacket.

===Inside References===
*Homestar Runner's calendar in his televised special says "The D'weeve, yo!", which is a reference to the calendar in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*At the brunch, Homestar receives a sweater with [[Lack of Visible Arms|sleeves]].
*Homestar Runner and Strong Bad refer to drinking [[jones]], a hot beverage topped with cream with red sprinkles on top.
**The term "hot jones" is a play on "hot cup of joe", a term for [[coffee]].
*Strong Bad's parole implies that he had been in [[jail]] before this cartoon.
*Homestar referring to himself as homestarrunner.com is an instance of [[breaking the fourth wall]].
*Homestar and Strong Bad are shown holding [[Smoking|pipes]].
*Homestar attempts to defy [[death]].
*Homestar's pronunciation of "gulp" is another example of [[spoken sound effects]].
*The way that Homestar Runner says "Gulp!" is reminiscent of [[Fightgar]] also saying "Gulp!" in [[Shopping for Danger]].
**Homestar also "gulped" in this manner in [[Date Nite]].
*This is yet another instance of Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiling]].
*Homestar calls Coach Z "[[My Dog|dog]]".
*Coach Z mentions [[ham]].
*Homestar Runner wears brown [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] during his televised Decemberween special.
*Homestar and Marzipan head over to her [[parents]]' house at the end.

Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not.

Okay, I know you have a fanstuff talk page. But this is serious. Joshua, the sysop, did something like blackmail. Now the forum is messed up and Super Sam blocked him. Can you please fix this mess? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it's pretty dang hilarious the way it's going down. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 05:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button. It will give you a place to enter the thread header and format it automatically. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Failureposter.PNG|thumb|200px|"And this one talks about cussing..."]]

''From the [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview]]:''
<blockquote>
'''INTERVIEWER:''' But what are the reasons behind keeping the site ad-free and making it clean enough for kids to view?
:...
'''MIKE:''' It's really just more of our style, too. It wasn't a super hard decision to make. We probably would have been doing it like this anyway. We've always leaned toward the more subtle type of humor, as opposed to over-the-top. 
'''MATT:''' But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there's going to be so many swears!
</blockquote>
Even given this attitude, there have been many examples of various degrees of '''swearing''' on the website, both stated and implied.

==Appearances==
*[[Hairstyle Runner]] — Three heads in the gallery are titled "smartass" (a swear in and of itself), "mother frig" (substitute for "mother fuck"), and "bad motivator finger" (referring to the middle finger).
*[[Old Characters Page]] — [[Bubs]]'s description says that he makes "a helluva sno-cone".
*[[Second Games Menu|Second]] and [[Third Games Menu]] — The titlebar for both pages reads, in part, "for the whole damn family!". Also, on the Second Games Menu, the description for the [[Homestar Talker]] reads, "Homestar says the darndest things. You want to make him swear don't you? Shame on you. Call your mother."
*[[Secret Pages#Other Animations|Homestar's Yearbook]] — Homestar states, "Sign my yearbook! ...but don't use any swears, because my mom reads it."
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes|In Search of the Yello Dello]] — The first deleted scene's description mentions that it was deleted because of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s "foul mouth". The foul language was most likely the phrase "freakin' duck".
**According to its description, the secret deleted scene had to be revised because of [[Marzipan]] swearing, but the disclaimer announces that the version shown is "the fancy prancey" edited version.
*[[Thorax Corporation]] — There are swear words scattered across the site, including "hell" , "ass," and "piss".
*Email [[trevor the vampire]] — Strong Bad types "What the f" before he interrupts himself. Suggesting he was going to type "what the fuck".
*Email [[the bird]] — Strong Bad, Pom Pom and Homestar all supposedly give "[[Wikipedia:Finger (gesture)|the finger]]" gesture, even though none have [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|visible fingers]].
*Email [[sugarbob]] — One of Strong Bad's instant messages contains the word "[[Internet Slang|lmao]]", which means "laughing my ass off". Another one reads, "SB is the shizzle", which in this context means "Strong Bad is the shit".
*Email [[sb_email 22]] — Strong Bad edits the phrase "Thank You" to "Nevermind the Bullocks", a misspelling of a [[Wikipedia:Bollocks|British slang term]] that can either mean testicles or nonsense (similar to the American English "bullshit").
**Later, at a press conference, Strong Bad causes controversy by saying "Screw all y'all."
*Email [[comic]] — In an Easter egg, one of the records visibly displays the phrase "You Stupid Asshole" (a single by the band Mudhoney). This was later censored in [[strongbad_email.exe]], but remains uncensored on [[homestarrunner.com]].
*Email [[cheat talk]] — In an Easter egg, the [[Generic Announcers|announcer]] translates one of [[The Cheat]]'s phrases as "Check it out, this is going to be great. Just say 'Screw all y'all!'" (a direct reference to [[sb_email 22]]), then adds "And now on to Lesson 2: All the swears." The record is cut short before the second lesson begins.
*[[TROGDOR!]] — If downloaded and viewed in Flash, entering the Konami Code garners the phrase "Hot damn, you got it right!" in the output box.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] — [[Cheerleader]] thinks her elephant head is "hella tight".
*Email [[no loafing]] — Strong Bad says one of his posters (with the caption "Failure is not a 4-letter word") talks about cussing.
*Email [[army]] — In the [[army#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] notes that viewers often mistook one of Homestar's lines, which contains the word "frigging", for swearing.
*[[Peasant's Quest]] — Typing "What the fuck" yields the response, "Come now. Don't get discouraged."
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] — Thinking that he had been given the cold shoulder after asking for a seven-letter word, Homestar asks for a four-letter word for censoring a cuss word, which ends up being "beep".
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] — The girls react to Tompkins's comment, "Heck, I'm taller than you" by shouting "TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR!!!"
*[[Commandos in the Classroom]] —
**[[Pony Fights 2]] is rated PG-13 for "Severe cussing and ''very'' illegal pony fights".
**[[Reynold]] attempts to "swear a cuss", then says "diaper biscuits", causing the rest of the Commandos to laugh at him.
**When Reynold says "I might as well go home and get teen pregnant", [[Gunhaver]] calls him a "Cheat Cuss-mando".
*Email [[lady fan]] — Marzipan calls Strong Bad a "horse's twees". Homestar first used the word "twees" to refer to Strong Bad's butt, also calling it "your buttweesimo", so we can surmise that Marzipan meant "horse's ass", a common insult.
*[[Kid Speedy]] — One of the items that causes Kid Speedy to lose all his speed is "@!?#!", a term often used in comic strips to represent swearing.
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] — After a very angry string of bubbles from [[Pom Pom]], a shocked Homestar asks him to "tone down the language".
**In the [[Strongest Man in the World#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], the Brothers Chaps speculate on what Pom Pom said and whether he "dropped an F-bomb". They decide he "definitely dropped an S-bomb".
*Email [[4 branches]] — When Strong Bad tries to free Homestar from the water cooler, Homestar says, "Stop! Sweet genius, that hurt!" This is a substitution for the phrase "sweet Jesus".
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] — The acronym "WTPF" (What the pfargtl?) is used as a substitute for the acronym "WTF" (What the fuck?).
**Another play on "WTF" is again seen in [[email thunder]] when Strong Bad says "WTC" (What The Crap)
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — After The Cheat scolds Strong Bad for kicking him, Strong Bad replies, "Hey, do you kiss your hot mom with that mouth?"
*[[Fan Costumes '08]] — In the Toons menu, the cartoon is subtitled "They make a COST out of U and ME" (a play on the phrase "When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME").
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] — Talking to Pom Pom in extended play has Strong Bad saying that he'll have to bleep what Pom Pom had just said, despite Pom Pom's [[lack of intelligible speech]].
*Email [[winter pool]] ([[winter pool#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]]) — Strong Bad, at one point, says "Shithead".
*[[Hooked on Decemberween]] — Brainkreig's song includes the lyric "I'm gonna spell out a cuss word on the roof with Christmas lights!" The "cuss word" shown is "acuss".
*[[8-bit is Enough]] — Strong Bad comments that the Halfathlon was "Half-Ath'd all right." This is a pun on the term "Half-Assed", meaning done poorly or without effort.

This article is about '''swearing.''' It contains '''bad words''' that will get your mouth washed out, cost you friends, and probably get you suspended.

Please, if you are not mature enough to handle an article concerning some very naughty language, '''[[Special:Random|read no further]]'''.

''From the [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview]]:''
<blockquote>
'''INTERVIEWER:''' But what are the reasons behind keeping the site ad-free and making it clean enough for kids to view?
:...
'''MIKE:''' It's really just more of our style, too. It wasn't a super hard decision to make. We probably would have been doing it like this anyway. We've always leaned toward the more subtle type of humor, as opposed to over-the-top. 
'''MATT:''' But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there's going to be so many swears!
</blockquote>
Even given this attitude, there have been many examples of various degrees of '''swearing''' on the website, both stated and implied.

==Appearances==
*[[Hairstyle Runner]] — Three heads in the gallery are titled "smartass" (a swear in and of itself), "mother frig" (substitute for "mother fuck"), and "bad motivator finger" (referring to the middle finger).
*[[Old Characters Page]] — [[Bubs]]'s description says that he makes "a helluva sno-cone".
*[[Second Games Menu|Second]] and [[Third Games Menu]] — The titlebar for both pages reads, in part, "for the whole damn family!". Also, on the Second Games Menu, the description for the [[Homestar Talker]] reads, "Homestar says the darndest things. You want to make him swear don't you? Shame on you. Call your mother."
*[[Secret Pages#Other Animations|Homestar's Yearbook]] — Homestar states, "Sign my yearbook! ...but don't use any swears, because my mom reads it."
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes|In Search of the Yello Dello]] — The first deleted scene's description mentions that it was deleted because of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s "foul mouth". The foul language was most likely the phrase "freakin' duck".
**According to its description, the secret deleted scene had to be revised because of [[Marzipan]] swearing, but the disclaimer announces that the version shown is "the fancy prancey" edited version.
*[[Thorax Corporation]] — There are swear words scattered across the site, including "hell" , "ass," and "piss".
*Email [[trevor the vampire]] — Strong Bad types "What the f" before he interrupts himself.
*Email [[the bird]] — Strong Bad, Pom Pom and Homestar all supposedly give "[[Wikipedia:Finger (gesture)|the finger]]" gesture, even though none have [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|visible fingers]].
*Email [[sugarbob]] — One of Strong Bad's instant messages contains the word "[[Internet Slang|lmao]]", which means "laughing my ass off". Another one reads, "SB is the shizzle", which in this context means "Strong Bad is the shit".
*Email [[sb_email 22]] — Strong Bad edits the phrase "Thank You" to "Nevermind the Bullocks", a misspelling of a [[Wikipedia:Bollocks|British slang term]] that can either mean testicles or nonsense (similar to the American English "bullshit").
**Later, at a press conference, Strong Bad causes controversy by saying "Screw all y'all."
*Email [[comic]] — In an Easter egg, one of the records visibly displays the phrase "You Stupid Asshole" (a single by the band Mudhoney). This was later censored in [[strongbad_email.exe]], but remains uncensored on [[homestarrunner.com]].
*Email [[cheat talk]] — In an Easter egg, the [[Generic Announcers|announcer]] translates one of [[The Cheat]]'s phrases as "Check it out, this is going to be great. Just say 'Screw all y'all!'" (a direct reference to [[sb_email 22]]), then adds "And now on to Lesson 2: All the swears." The record is cut short before the second lesson begins.
*[[TROGDOR!]] — If downloaded and viewed in Flash, entering the Konami Code garners the phrase "Hot damn, you got it right!" in the output box.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] — [[Cheerleader]] thinks her elephant head is "hella tight".
*Email [[no loafing]] — Strong Bad says one of his posters (with the caption "Failure is not a 4-letter word") talks about cussing.
*Email [[army]] — In the [[army#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] notes that viewers often mistook one of Homestar's lines, which contains the word "frigging", for swearing.
*[[Peasant's Quest]] — Typing "What the fuck" yields the response, "Come now. Don't get discouraged."
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] — Thinking that he had been given the cold shoulder after asking for a seven-letter word, Homestar asks for a four-letter word for censoring a cuss word, which ends up being "beep".
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] — The girls react to Tompkins's comment, "Heck, I'm taller than you" by shouting "TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR!!!"
*[[Commandos in the Classroom]] —
**[[Pony Fights 2]] is rated PG-13 for "Severe cussing and ''very'' illegal pony fights".
**[[Reynold]] attempts to "swear a cuss", then says "diaper biscuits", causing the rest of the Commandos to laugh at him.
**When Reynold says "I might as well go home and get teen pregnant", [[Gunhaver]] calls him a "Cheat Cuss-mando".
*Email [[lady fan]] — Marzipan calls Strong Bad a "horse's twees". Homestar first used the word "twees" to refer to Strong Bad's butt, also calling it "your buttweesimo", so we can surmise that Marzipan meant "horse's ass", a common insult.
*[[Kid Speedy]] — One of the items that causes Kid Speedy to lose all his speed is "@!?#!", a term often used in comic strips to represent swearing.
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] — After a very angry string of bubbles from [[Pom Pom]], a shocked Homestar asks him to "tone down the language".
**In the [[Strongest Man in the World#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], the Brothers Chaps speculate on what Pom Pom said and whether he "dropped an F-bomb". They decide he "definitely dropped an S-bomb".
*Email [[4 branches]] — When Strong Bad tries to free Homestar from the water cooler, Homestar says, "Stop! Sweet genius, that hurt!" This is a substitution for the phrase "sweet Jesus".
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] — The acronym "WTPF" (What the pfargtl?) is used as a substitute for the acronym "WTF" (What the fuck?).
**Another play on "WTF" is again seen in [[email thunder]] when Strong Bad says "WTC" (What The Crap)
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — After The Cheat scolds Strong Bad for kicking him, Strong Bad replies, "Hey, do you kiss your hot mom with that mouth?"
*[[Fan Costumes '08]] — In the Toons menu, the cartoon is subtitled "They make a COST out of U and ME" (a play on the phrase "When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME").
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] — Talking to Pom Pom in extended play has Strong Bad saying that he'll have to bleep what Pom Pom had just said, despite Pom Pom's [[lack of intelligible speech]].
*Email [[winter pool]] ([[winter pool#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]]) — Strong Bad, at one point, says "Shithead".
*[[Hooked on Decemberween]] — Brainkreig's song includes the lyric "I'm gonna spell out a cuss word on the roof with Christmas lights!" The "cuss word" shown is "acuss".
*[[8-bit is Enough]] — Strong Bad comments that the Halfathlon was "Half-Ath'd all right." This is a pun on the term "Half-Assed", meaning done poorly or without effort.
*[[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] — Strong Bad uses the term bull[[style]], in substitute of bullshit.
