== It's Dot Matrix ==<br />
<br />
An explanation of my (reverted) removal of the fact that The Printer is apparently dot matrix is in order. It's Dot Com, you're absolutely right. The printer that The Paper comes from is obviously a dot matrix. That's a very distinctive sound, and the appearance of the font clinches it. But my point is that the fact has nothing to do with ''this'' toon. We've known for years that it's a dot matrix. There's no new evidence presented by this picture of the printer.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, if someone could find a specific ''model'' of printer that this new picture is based on, that would be noteworthy. But I've tried. As I expected, it resembles slightly every home-computer printer made in the mid-to-late-1980s, and resembles none of them exactly. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:<I>"what appears to be an [http://skylab.org/~chugga/pictures/forsale/epson.JPG Epson L-1000] [[Wikipedia:Dot matrix printer|dot matrix printer]]. The first time The Paper appeared out of a printer was in [[Email Processing Room]]."</I><br />
<br />
:I'd say it more closely resembles an Epson [http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~hccrs/2B.GIF LX-800]. The cartoon printer does not have the smoked-translucent-plastic window that the L-1000 has.<br />

<br />
== Tejas ==<br />
<br />
I'm kinda on the fence about the Tejas fact. On one hand, I agree that it should be mentioned that Strong Bad has pronounced "Texas" as "TEH-hahs" in the past, and the writer of the email may be directly referencing that. BUT: I think it's also important that people understand that "TEH-hahs" is not uniquely Strong Bad's pronunciation, but rather how "Texas" is pronounced in Spanish. The letters "x" and "j" have the same pronunciation in Spanish. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I also wanted to point out that here in Tejas, it's also ''spelled'' that way too on a lot of Spanish-language literature. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

:''"The [[Wikipedia:Iron Sheik|Iron Sheik]] is a wrestler, and a former [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Federation|WWF]] [[Wikipedia:List_of_WWE_Champions|Champion]] in the 1980s. Homestar's reference may be due to the similarity between the sound of the words Iron Sheik and 'Iron cheek', <u>which in turn could be reinterpreted</u> as Buns of Steel, the name of a series of workout videotapes."''<br />

== Marzi Stewart? ==<br />
<br />
Should we add that Marzipan's crafts are probably modeled after Martha Stewart? I think they are. Is that too obvious, not obvious enough...?[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]<br />
*It's TTATOT. They're based on numerous craft how to shows. Martha Stewart would probably be the best known, but there are really so many that you'd have to have something more specific to call it a reference to Martha Stewart (For instance, Martha Stewart actually made something out of junk mail and kitty litter, or actually called her scissors "snip-snipperouskis"). As far as referencing how-to shows similar to Martha Stewart: Living, I think it's a bit too obvious to be worth mentioning. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]<br />
<br />
== It's Dot Benday ==<br />
<br />
Strong Bad's comic strip does indeed use [[Wikipedia:Benday dots|Benday dots]]. (Well, at least some overlay effect that's clearly supposed to ''look'' like Benday dots.) Benday dots are indeed the trademark of artist [[Wikipedia:Roy Lichtenstein]]. However, there's no clear connection between Lichtenstein and this toon. They're both referencing the same source, which is inexpensively printed and melodramatic color comic books/strips. Lichtenstein's only known for the technique because he exaggerated it and introduced it to high art. It had already been in use for decades. As for mentioning the Benday dots themselves, I don't see the point. Any artist trying to evoke a comic strip feel would be likely to use a similar effect. Note that they did it before on [[The Castlefunnies]] in [[old comics]]. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 07:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Snip-sniparooskies ==<br />

This doesn't agree with my experience where pinking shears and scissors are two different (albeit closely related) tools. Anyone got any feelings on this subject? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 16:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Remember that Wikipedia isn't always right - in fact, it's frequently not. If you have strong evidence that the WP article is wrong, you should feel free to go and correct it there. This is especially true if you want to use WP as a reference here.<br />
:That said, I'm not sure this is all that noteworthy in this case. Those may be pinking shears, but I think in a more general sense anything that acts like a pair of scissors (regardless of type of cut) can be called a form of scissors - at least, that's how I'd expect most people think of it, whether it's technically correct or not. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

<div>[[Strong Bad]] has changed a lot. He's "grown" a blue diamond and a silver V on his forehead and eventually lost his Mexican accent. His personality has changed significantly.<br />

! Image !! Info !! Created !! Appearances !! What's Changed?<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:tinyhandedstrongbad.png|150px]]|| This is the first Strong Bad design. || 1996 || [[Original Book]], ''[[flashback]]'', ''[[Main Page 20]]'' || N/A<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:sb_evolution_mls.png|150px]] || The second design || 1999 || [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[Old Characters Page]], [[Character Cards]], ''[[personal favorites]]'', ''[[lady...ing]]'' || His mouth is now flesh colored, his eyes are green and detailed, the silver crest and blue diamond are now on his head, and he seems to have grown. Also, his eyes seem to be inside his mask, not outside. He also has purple pants, brighter colors, shading and a belly button.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:sbcharcards.png|150px]] || The third design || 2000 || [[Character Cards]] || His eyes are now back outside his head and had blue pants. He also lost the belly button.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:sb_evolution_jumpingjack.png|150px]] || The forth design || 2000 || [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[Strong Libs]], [[Yearbook Character Page]] (in photo) || His design is neater, his red has gotten darker, he now wears red boots and black pants. His boxing gloves are bigger. There's more shading, and the outline has become thinner. His eyes are now back outside his head. His belly button has now disappeared.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:oldstrongbad.png|150px]] || The fifth design || 2000 || [[Strong Bad Sings]], [[A Jorb Well Done]], [[The Luau]], [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]], all [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[some kinda robot]] to [[halloweener]], [[Main Page 6]], [[Main Page 7]], [[Main Page 8]], [[Main Page 11]], [[Yearbook Character Page]], [[Theme Song Video]], [[Homestarloween Party]], [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], [[A Holiday Greeting]], [[Some Stupid Turkey]] (but with the current non-Hispanic accent) || The outline is colored and has gotten thinner. Around this point Strong Bad loses the "I'm the bad guy" role to more of this mean funny cool guy. His voice is still somewhat Hispanic, but to a lesser extent; the current Strong Bad voice is becoming more noticeable.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:sb_evolution_current.png|150px]] || The sixth design, which is also not much different from the current. || 2001 || [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], [[A Mother's Day Message]] (with the old Hispanic accent), all [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[brianrietta]] to [[extra plug]], as well as [[lady fan]], [[The Cheat Theme Song]], [[Where's The Cheat?]], [[First Time Here?]], [[Everybody to the Limit]], [[Main Page 15]], [[Homestar Talker]], [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[A Decemberween Pageant]], [[Decemberween Email Menu]], [[The System is Down]], [[Superbowl Dealie]], [[Arcade Game]], [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]], [[Malloween Commercial]], [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[New Boots]], [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]], [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]], [[Experimental Film]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[Revenge of the King]] || He now has a reflection to his eye and much better shading. The black in his mask turned to a lighter shade of gray. His mouth is shaded and his gloves now have the window reflection. By now, the hispanic accent has, more or less, gone away and evolved into a much more relaxed voice that goes up and down in tone, unlike the previous ones which seemed to be a forced low-as-possible tone. His pants have a purplish shine and he has shrunk a little in proportion. His legs are now closer together. <br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:MontageStrongBad.png|150px]] || This is the current design of Strong Bad. || 2004 || All [[Strong Bad Emails]] starting with [[montage]], excluding [[lady fan]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], [[The Li'l Brudder Show]], [[Bug In Mouth Disease]], [[Senorial Day]], [[Happy Fireworks]], [[Cool Things]], [[TrogdorCon '97]], [[Main Page 23]], [[Sick Day]], [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], [[Fall Float Parade]] || His head is bigger and his arms are higher up and shorter. His shoes are darker, a different shape and have different shading. The black on his face is slightly darker, and takes up more space. His pants seem to have lost some of their purple shading. The diamond is also more symmetrical. The shading on Strong Bad's boots seems to drift from this version's style to the previous version and back.<br />

<div>[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The Old, the new, and the newer]]<br />
<br />
The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002. Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.<br />
<br />
:''For the July 29th-November 11th, 2004 quotes, the download option was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22nd quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''<br />
<br />
:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produce some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''<br><br />

==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
*If there is a problem finding the [[HR:weeklies/weeklies.xml|weeklies.xml]] file, the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<br />
<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my<br><br />
funniest word style<br><br />
ever times that I've<br><br />
said! Hope all is on<br><br />
to it even more<br><br />
lately! And I wish the<br><br />
chicken & msg place<br><br />
was open on<br><br />
Somedays."</blockquote><br />
:*This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).<br />
*Formerly, the text was:<br />
<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my<br><br />
funniest word style<br><br />
ever that I said! Hope<br><br />
you're into it!"</blockquote><br />
*Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").<br />
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.<br />
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."<br />
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.<br />
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its real name "Quote of the Week".<br />
*When using a character head that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened with the Geddup Noise's and Horrible Painting's quotes.<br />

<br />
The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002. Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.<br />
<br />
:''For the July 29th-November 11th, 2004 quotes, the download option was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22nd quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''<br />
<br />
:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produce some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''<br><br />

==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
*If there is a problem finding the [[HR:weeklies/weeklies.xml|weeklies.xml]] file, the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<br />
<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my<br><br />
funniest word style<br><br />
ever times that I've<br><br />
said! Hope all is on<br><br />
to it even more<br><br />
lately! And I wish the<br><br />
chicken & msg place<br><br />
was open on<br><br />
Somedays."</blockquote><br />
:*This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).<br />
*Formerly, the text was:<br />
<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my<br><br />
funniest word style<br><br />
ever that I said! Hope<br><br />
you're into it!"</blockquote><br />
*Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").<br />
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.<br />
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."<br />
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.<br />
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its real name "Quote of the Week".<br />
*When using a character head that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened with the Geddup Noise's and Horrible Painting's quotes.<br />

i know that it has been decided to not try to 'translate' the cheat talk for the transcript. however, i believe the top of the discussion page could be reserved for such speculative things as this, as well as narrowly outvoted or slightly dodgy STUFFs'es. cause it really sounds to me that the cheat says "yeah man" or "yes sir" when strong bad tells him to go win a car. also, sry for bumping the top topic, move this if you want, but i thought it was important. {{User:Csours/sig}} 03:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Spooky sound effect ==<br />
<br />
I've tried a couple times to remove a fact about a "spooky sound effect" coming from [[myths & legends]]; each time it's either been added back or I've been reverted. I assume the effect we're talking about is the one that sounds after Strong Bad says the fridge is a source of unspeakable power; if so, that sound also occurs in [[bottom 10]] and possibly other places. Therefore, I'll remove this item from the page unless someone has a reason why my info is wrong. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
: I don't remember it in [[bottom 10]] offhand. Will check when I put my dinner in the oven. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:'''Edit conflict''': Well I'm not sure sure how the best way to resolve this is, because if what you say is true, then the bottom 10 noise is the same as the myths & legends noise (which if my memory serves me right was "noted" to be in the same scale as the Geddup Noise or something strange like that). It should be somewhere in the [[Sound Effects]] page for sure. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:: It is ''not'' the same sound as in [[bottom 10]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::: Second that. You are thinking of the sound that occurs when strong bad sees the 'creepy painting'; it's lower and has a constant pitch, rather than the myths & legends sound effect, which starts at a higher note and goes to a lower note. It's the only appearance of that sound, so I think the reference should stand. By the way, is that sound anything else when sped up? {{User:Eman/sig}}<br />
:::::Are the two sounds ''really'' that different? Yes, one has an additional note, but surely that doesn't make it a completely different sound effect. Oh, and I have absolute pitch and can tell you that the one in bottom 10 most certainly does is not a lower pitch. They are both a C. Anyway, it's not a huge deal, but I really think this is the sort of thing that should only be noted on the Sound Effects page. Anyone else agree? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::Now that I actually listened to bottom 10, I'm going with Heimstern. They sound the same to me, and even if they're not exactly the same, they are close eough to be noted somewheres. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::Did you really ask if two things being different really makes them different? They're clearly not the same sound effect. The pop-up sound is the same as in myths and legends; the bottom 10 sound is a pulsing single pitch that is different from all notes in the pop-up/legends effect. --Sarducci<br />
:First of all, I'll "chime" in and assert that this is, in fact, the same sound effect as the one that was overused in [[myths & legends]], but this time it is played at a slower rate. It is nothing like the sound used in [[bottom 10]] when Strong Bad slowly slides open the closet to reveal the horrible painting. (Heimstern, that is the sound you meant, right?) That sound was simply a rumble with no articulation. This one has distinct wooden strikes and reverb. However, there is an edit comment by [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] implying that this would be appropriate only for the [[Sound Effects]] page (where it is already noted), since it is a "re-use" rather than a "reference". Can someone second that protocol and convince us that this is not a reference? (Not that I particularly think it is. Just playing devil's advocate.) --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::I agree completely that this is a reuse, not a reference. I was about to post that when you beat me to it, The Nicest Guy. By the way, try listening a little more carefully to the bottom 10 sound; I hear all those "wooden strikes" in that sound too (I'm assuming you're talking about that faint, loosely cowbell-like sound?). <strike>At any rate, it's currently off the page and documented on sound effects, which is exactly right, IMO, so I guess it's all taken care of now.</strike> {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I was wrong; it is still there. I'm going to STUFF if it later if no one removes or STUFFs it first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Negative Zero?==<br />
it seems to me that the negative zero is not a refrence to stinkoman but to the idea of the temperature being below zero, or that there's no such thing as positive or negative when it comes to zero.<br />
: I don't really get what you're saying. There was a "Level -0" in Stinkoman, and, as you say, there's ''not'' such a thing as a negative zero. I think it's a valid reference. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== [[car]] no longer true? ==<br />
<br />
Since The Cheat ''did'' end up winning Strong Bad a car, would that mean that car is now, for the most part, no longer correct?

I think the whole question of cars in Free Country USA is yet to be fully answered. If there was a simple answer, Bubs owned the Gremlin, incorperated it into his Halloween tale, loaned it to Strong Bad while making his movie, and ultimately lost it to his lackey today in a high stakes game of dominoes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Google finds a couple of matching images if you search for "Magic Eye Saturn", however the one at [http://www.alienintelligencer.com/2004/08/magic-eye.html this blog] is the only one that is the same resolution as the one I pulled from the swf. I downloaded it, and it is bit-for-bit identical to the one in the toon - thus either TBC got it from this site, or they both got it (indirectly) from the same location elsewhere (from a site either not listed on Google Images or that doesn't call it "Saturn"). If it's the former, it begs the question: What were TBC doing on an alien conspiracy site? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:34, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Searching for "Stereogram Saturn" finds [http://www.jespersdesigns.com/visitmywebsite/stereograms.htm this] also, but though it's the same resolution, it's not bit-for-bit the same. So while it's the same picture, TBC didn't get it from here. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Found a third version, on the [http://www.vision3d.com/sghidden/saturn.html official Magic Eye site], still not the same image that TBC used, but it tells me what book all three of these were scanned from, which is what I embarked on this to discover. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::That 3-D picture does not look like Saturn, at all. It must be a made-up, "spacey" picture. Saturn's rings have more breadth and do not come as close to the planet. I have changed the note on the article to say, "a ringed planet" rather than "Saturn". {{User:Eman/sig}}<br />

: Don't you mean 'cherubs?' I think that's how they're supposed to be spelt. --[[User:Zimmy|Zimmy]] 11:24, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Singular ''cherub'', plural ''cherubim'' or ''cherubs'', depending on which sense is meant. The traditional biblical or medieval angels would be properly called ''cherubim'', while the more modern baby angel representations that are actually based on classical depictions of Eros/Cupid would be ''cherubs''. No, no need to thank me. Just doing my job. Er... Just avoiding doing my job. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:54, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Some this might interest: the word ''cherub'' derives from Hebrew (kruv - The letter Kaf can be ch or k and the letter Beit can be b or v). The plural ''cherubim'' (kruvim) is with the Hebrew suffix for more then one male. Each word in Hebrew can be either male or female with defferent plural suffixes for each. {{User:E.L.

“The label "Negative Zero" on the fridge is likely a reference to the [[http://www.subzero.com Subzero]] brand of refrigerator.” Or “The label "Negative Zero" on the fridge may be a reference to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|level -0]] in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].” They can't both be referenced, can they? --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]<br />
:Sure they can. I think it's perfectly plausible that [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] would sieze the opportunity to parody an existing brand name and make an in-joke at the same time. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Yes, I realize that, but... one has "likely" (a no-no word) and the other has "may be" (another no-no word). --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]<br />
:::If you want to edit the language to match, or pick one place to merge both references (probably a controversial choice), go right ahead. But I'm pretty firmly against the idea that "likely" and "may be" are automatically no-no words for references. (Yes, I realize the [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] page does say something to that effect.) Just because we can't absolutely guarantee that what looks like a reference is not just an amusing coincidence is no reason not to mention it as "likely", "may be", "possible", etc., with links to the information to allow the reader to make up their own mind. But I would hesitate to pass either of these off as definite intentional references, because I'm neither a Chapman nor a mind-reader. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Spooky sound effect ==<br />
<br />
I've tried a couple times to remove a fact about a "spooky sound effect" coming from [[myths & legends]]; each time it's either been added back or I've been reverted. I assume the effect we're talking about is the one that sounds after Strong Bad says the fridge is a source of unspeakable power; if so, that sound also occurs in [[bottom 10]] and possibly other places. Therefore, I'll remove this item from the page unless someone has a reason why my info is wrong. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
: I don't remember it in [[bottom 10]] offhand. Will check when I put my dinner in the oven. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:'''Edit conflict''': Well I'm not sure sure how the best way to resolve this is, because if what you say is true, then the bottom 10 noise is the same as the myths & legends noise (which if my memory serves me right was "noted" to be in the same scale as the Geddup Noise or something strange like that). It should be somewhere in the [[Sound Effects]] page for sure. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:: It is ''not'' the same sound as in [[bottom 10]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::: Second that. You are thinking of the sound that occurs when strong bad sees the 'creepy painting'; it's lower and has a constant pitch, rather than the myths & legends sound effect, which starts at a higher note and goes to a lower note. It's the only appearance of that sound, so I think the reference should stand. By the way, is that sound anything else when sped up? {{User:Eman/sig}}<br />
:::::Are the two sounds ''really'' that different? Yes, one has an additional note, but surely that doesn't make it a completely different sound effect. Oh, and I have absolute pitch and can tell you that the one in bottom 10 most certainly does is not a lower pitch. They are both a C. Anyway, it's not a huge deal, but I really think this is the sort of thing that should only be noted on the Sound Effects page. Anyone else agree? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::Now that I actually listened to bottom 10, I'm going with Heimstern. They sound the same to me, and even if they're not exactly the same, they are close eough to be noted somewheres. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::Did you really ask if two things being different really makes them different? They're clearly not the same sound effect. The pop-up sound is the same as in myths and legends; the bottom 10 sound is a pulsing single pitch that is different from all notes in the pop-up/legends effect. --Sarducci<br />
:First of all, I'll "chime" in and assert that this is, in fact, the same sound effect as the one that was overused in [[myths & legends]], but this time it is played at a slower rate. It is nothing like the sound used in [[bottom 10]] when Strong Bad slowly slides open the closet to reveal the horrible painting. (Heimstern, that is the sound you meant, right?) That sound was simply a rumble with no articulation. This one has distinct wooden strikes and reverb. However, there is an edit comment by [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] implying that this would be appropriate only for the [[Sound Effects]] page (where it is already noted), since it is a "re-use" rather than a "reference". Can someone second that protocol and convince us that this is not a reference? (Not that I particularly think it is. Just playing devil's advocate.) --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::I agree completely that this is a reuse, not a reference. I was about to post that when you beat me to it, The Nicest Guy. By the way, try listening a little more carefully to the bottom 10 sound; I hear all those "wooden strikes" in that sound too (I'm assuming you're talking about that faint, loosely cowbell-like sound?). <strike>At any rate, it's currently off the page and documented on sound effects, which is exactly right, IMO, so I guess it's all taken care of now.</strike> {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

“The label "Negative Zero" on the fridge is likely a reference to the [[http://www.subzero.com Subzero]] brand of refrigerator.” Or “The label "Negative Zero" on the fridge may be a reference to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|level -0]] in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].” They can't both be referenced, can they? --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]<br />
:Sure they can. I think it's perfectly plausible that [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] would sieze the opportunity to parody an existing brand name and make an in-joke at the same time. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Yes, I realize that, but... one has "likely" (a no-no word) and the other has "may be" (another no-no word). --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]<br />
:::If you want to edit the language to match, or pick one place to merge both references (probably a controversial choice), go right ahead. But I'm pretty firmly against the idea that "likely" and "may be" are automatically no-no words for references. (Yes, I realize the [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] page does say something to that effect.) Just because we can't absolutely guarantee that what looks like a reference is not just an amusing coincidence is no reason not to mention it as "likely", "may be", "possible", etc., with links to the information to allow the reader to make up their own mind. But I would hesitate to pass either of these off as definite intentional references, because I'm neither a Chapman nor a mind-reader. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Senor or Se&ntilde;or? ==<br />
<br />
I'm not hearing the "&ntilde;" in "Se&ntilde;or" Whatshisface. It sounds to me like he's saying "Senor" the same way he says "Senor Cardgage". Thoughts? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:My thought is that you're right on the money, and that makes this worthy of its own page in the Running Gags Category. (What to call that page is debatable, since there is already a [[Senor]] which redirects to [[Se&ntilde;or]], the obsolete storybook character.) I don't have time to do it myself right now, so if someone wants to beat me to it, knock yourself out. It should also be included on the [[Foreign words]] page. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)</div>Emanhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/pop-uppop-up2006-02-21T22:46:30Z<p>Eman: /* Trivia */ I say again, that looks nothing like saturn (which has wider rings), and is a made-up pic</p>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up and nearly hits the ceiling}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry <!--sic--> of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The first page reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wingaling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab! <br />
<br />
''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of the Tandy reading "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are seen, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''<br />

<br />
''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A backhoe, cement mixer, and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''<br />

<br />
''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it. A carton of "mmmilk", two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo are drawn onto the back.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears from under a flap and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book ''{The fridge door closes, and Gavin crawls out from under it a moment later}'' is a source of unspeakable power. <br />
<br />
''{Spooky music plays. The page then turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! ''{pauses for a moment}'' Bye, the Homestar Runner!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''<br />

''{A wheel under the cutouts of the sun rays starts moving back and forth.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.<br />
<br />
''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Strong Bad"'s foot rises and The Cheat moves upward.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, yoooooo. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!<br />
<br />

<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
* Click ''Kat Spokane, Wash.'' after Strong Bad raps for The Cheat to reveal a [[Beverly Sportsinterviews]] book titled ''"Cat," spoke Anne, "Wash!"''.<br />
* Click on the pop-up Tandy 400 after Strong Bad says "The Lake Head" to see a comparison between Strong Sad's head and [[Wikipedia:Manicouagan Reservoir|Manicouagan Reservoir]] in Quebec, a circular lake formed by a meteor impact in the late Triassic.<br />
* At the end, click ''The Cheat'' to see a clip of The Cheat, Strong Sad and Bubs playing dominoes. Bubs is smoking a cigar.<br />
<br />
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Ugh, The Cheat wins again. Pay up.<br />
<br />
:'''BUBS:''' Well, she's all yours! ''{He hands The Cheat a car key. The Cheat squeals in happiness and does a dance.}''<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
{{checkstuffpage}}<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
<br />
*"Senor Muybueno" is Spanish for "Mister Verygood", which is rather the opposite of Strong "Bad", but it is obvious that Strong Bad is just praising himself, as on Page 1, there is the text "This is a good kid."<br />
*The "string thing that doesn't work" is most likely a reference to many real life pop-up books that sometimes contain a piece of string that you pull to make something happen instead of pulling a tab or turning a wheel. This contraption does, in fact, almost always break.<br />
[[Image:magiceye.jpg|thumb|right|Magic Eye]]<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
<br />
*This is the first time we see the main floor ceiling of the [[House of the Brothers Strong]]. <br />
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads [[Floppy Disk Container#codename iceman|"codename: iceman"]].<br />
*Decompiling the SWF reveals that the Magic Eye image is a working stereogram of a ringed planet, from [http://www.vision3d.com/book.html ''Magic Eye: How to See 3-D''].<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
<br />
*Although smoke is shown coming out of the Tandy, the Tandy actually met its demise due to an explosion, not overheating.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
<br />
*This email confirms Strong Bad's statement in [[different town]] that his house has recessed lighting.<br />
*Strong Bad calling the cherubs “wing-a-ling babies” is a reference to the email [[dragon]], where Strong Bad calls [[Trogdor]] a “wing-a-ling dragon.”<br />
*The "ab tab" is a reference to the [[Ab-Abber 2000]].<br />
*This is another appearance of [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?]] and [[DELETED]].<br />
*Bubs' smoking a cigar in the Easter egg is yet another instance of [[Smoking#Cigars|Cigars]].<br />
*The odd-looking Strong Bad in the second-to-last section of the book comes from the Strong Bad Libs Easter egg in [[lackey]].<br />
*This is another appearance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].<br />
*This is another appearance of [[The Cheat's keyboard]].<br />
*"2 more [[Eggs|eggs]]" was an ingredient in [[Strong Bad's EGGS]] in [[morning routine]].<br />
*This is another appearance of the [[BMW Lighter]].<br />
*The label "Negative Zero" on the fridge is a reference to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|level -0]] in [[Stinkoman 20X6]], as well as a pun on the high-end refrigerator brand, Sub-Zero.<br />
**Its location on the fridge may be a reference to the weak point of its boss, Ekersby.<br />
*This is another appearance of [[Sticky Notes]].<br />
*The term "flesh-tangle" is a reference to the fact that Strong Bad's mouth is a rectangle the same color as his flesh, and to the "breadtangle of pizza" from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].<br />
*Most of the Cold Ones on the last page of the book are from [[property of ones]].<br />
*Strong Bad was also drawn as a construction worker in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].<br />
*The sound effect used to illustrate the strange power of the pop-up book is from the previous email, [[myths & legends]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
<br />
*The Cheeto Bandito is a reference to Tex Avery's famous "[[Wikipedia:Frito Bandito|Frito Bandito]]", a character featured in many [[Wikipedia:Fritos|Frito]] commercials back in the 1970s. Cheetos and Fritos are both brands of snack foods.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Police Quest|Police Quest]] is a series of adventure games published by [[Wikipedia:Sierra Entertainment|Sierra]] between 1987 and 1993.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Magic Eye|Magic Eye]] is a series of books that feature [[Wikipedia:autostereogram|autostereograms]], which allow people to see 3D images by focusing on 2D patterns. The viewer must diverge their eyes in order to see a hidden 3-dimensional image within the pattern.<br />
*The label "Negative Zero" on the fridge is likely a reference to the [http://www.subzero.com Subzero] brand of refrigerator.<br />

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I was born to check emails and eat lots of cake!<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="lappy email"><br />
<div>subject: dream book</div><br />
Dear Strong Bad,<br/><br />
I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad<br/><br />
pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams.<br/><br />
Kat<br/><br />
Spokane, Wash.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{After reading the email once, Strong Bad repeats it in rap twice. He says "Wash." as the word "wash."}'' <!-- However, he says "Spokane" correctly. It is NOT said Spo-kain. --><br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises from offscreen}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to show The Cheat next to his keyboard}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, all right. One more time.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{approving The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up and nearly hits the ceiling}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmatory The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad."}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry [sic] of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The inside cover reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wingaling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab! <br />
<br />
''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of the Tandy reading "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are seen, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old questions!<br />
<br />
''{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}''<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' ''{very indistinctly}'' Deleted!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The lake head? What does that mean?<br />
<br />
''{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}''<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' Deleted!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.<br />
<br />
''{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' No wonder I got rid of that old buncha beige.<br />
<br />
''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A forklift and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to a "NegativeZero" fridge. It has a sticky note on it that reads "2 more eggs!"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The next page is snack time! What am I gonna have to eat today?<br />
<br />
''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it, a carton of milk, two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book is a source of unspeakable power. <br />
<br />
''{Spooky music is heard. The page turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! Bye, the Homestar Runner!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rapidly decreasing volume}'' SeeyalaterStrongBaaa...<br />
<br />
''{The rays of the sun move.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh! It looks like The Cheato Bandito has stolen all of Senor Woodweno's gold!<br />
<br />
''{The tree flips down, revealing a pile of gold underneath.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.<br />
<br />
''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Strong Bad"'s foot rises and The Cheat moves upward.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, yoooooo. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!<br />
<br />
''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower right, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!<br />
<br />
''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Sounds like they improved on the technology since page 2! Aaaaaand, don't forget the crap-flap!<br />
<br />
''{A flap turns down with a pile of whatsit underneath. Cut back to the Lappy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So now the pop-up book is primed and ready for the four year-old, or The Cheat, in your life to use as a tissue! That thing'll provide seconds of non-ripped apart fun! Speaking of seconds, I'm gonna go eat my burgers.<br />
<br />

<div>== cheat talk ==<br />
i know that it has been decided to not try to 'translate' the cheat talk for the transcript. however, i believe the top of the discussion page could be reserved for such speculative things as this, as well as narrowly outvoted or slightly dodgy STUFFs'es. cause it really sounds to me that the cheat says "yeah man" or "yes sir" when strong bad tells him to go win a car. also, sry for bumping the top topic, move this if you want, but i thought it was important. {{User:Csours/sig}} 03:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Spooky sound effect ==<br />
<br />
I've tried a couple times to remove a fact about a "spooky sound effect" coming from [[myths & legends]]; each time it's either been added back or I've been reverted. I assume the effect we're talking about is the one that sounds after Strong Bad says the fridge is a source of unspeakable power; if so, that sound also occurs in [[bottom 10]] and possibly other places. Therefore, I'll remove this item from the page unless someone has a reason why my info is wrong. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
: I don't remember it in [[bottom 10]] offhand. Will check when I put my dinner in the oven. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:'''Edit conflict''': Well I'm not sure sure how the best way to resolve this is, because if what you say is true, then the bottom 10 noise is the same as the myths & legends noise (which if my memory serves me right was "noted" to be in the same scale as the Geddup Noise or something strange like that). It should be somewhere in the [[Sound Effects]] page for sure. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:: It is ''not'' the same sound as in [[bottom 10]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::: Second that. You are thinking of the sound that occurs when strong bad sees the 'creepy painting'; it's lower and has a constant pitch, rather than the myths & legends sound effect, which starts at a higher note and goes to a lower note. It's the only appearance of that sound, so I think the reference should stand. By the way, is that sound anything else when sped up? {{User:Eman/sig}}<br />
:::::Are the two sounds ''really'' that different? Yes, one has an additional note, but surely that doesn't make it a completely different sound effect. Oh, and I have absolute pitch and can tell you that the one in bottom 10 most certainly does is not a lower pitch. They are both a C. Anyway, it's not a huge deal, but I really think this is the sort of thing that should only be noted on the Sound Effects page. Anyone else agree? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Frozen! ==<br />

Help! The email stops when turning the page after the "almost naked angels"! Some of the words on the Tandy are visible. What should I do?!?<br />
<br />
==Senor Who?==<br />
<br />
Who is that Senor Woodweno on the kick The Cheat Page of the pop-up book? Have we seen him before? I've searched the wiki, but nothing else on him came up. {{User:Homsarhair/sig}} 03:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

Dear Strong Bad,<br/><br />
I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad<br/><br />
pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams.<br/><br />
Kat<br/><br />
Spokane, Wash.<br />

<br />
''{After reading the email once, Strong Bad repeats it in rap twice. He says "Wash." as the word "wash".}'' <!-- However, he says "Spokane" correctly. It is NOT said Spo-kain. --><br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises from offscreen}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to show The Cheat next to his keyboard}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, all right. One more time.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{approving The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up and nearly hits the ceiling}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmatory The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry [sic] of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The inside cover reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wingaling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab! <br />
<br />
''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of the Tandy reading "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are seen, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old questions!<br />
<br />
''{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}''<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' ''{very indistinctly}'' Deleted!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The lake head? What does that mean?<br />
<br />
''{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}''<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' Deleted!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.<br />
<br />
''{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' No wonder I got rid of that old bucha beige.<br />
<br />
''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A forklift and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to a "NegativeZero" fridge. It has a sticky note on it that reads "2 more eggs!"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The next page is snack time! What am I gonna have to eat today?<br />
<br />
''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it, a carton of milk, two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book is a source of unspeakable power. <br />
<br />
''{Spooky music is heard. The page turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! Bye, the Homestar Runner!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rapidly decreasing volume}'' SeeyalaterStrongBaaa...<br />
<br />
''{The rays of the sun move.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh! It looks like The Cheato Bandito has stolen all of Senor Woodweno's gold!<br />
<br />
''{The tree flips down, revealing a pile of gold underneath.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.<br />
<br />
''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Strong Bad"'s foot rises and The Cheat moves upward.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, yoooooo. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!<br />
<br />
''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Not So Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower right, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!<br />
<br />
''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Not So Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Sounds like they improved on the technology since page 2! Aaaaaand, don't forget the crap-flap!<br />
<br />
''{A flap turns down with a pile of whatsit underneath. Cut back to the Lappy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So now the pop-up book is primed and ready for the four year-old, or The Cheat, in your life to use as a tissue! That thing'll provide seconds of non-ripped apart fun! Speaking of seconds, I'm gonna go eat my burgers.<br />

== Spooky sound effect ==<br />
<br />
I've tried a couple times to remove a fact about a "spooky sound effect" coming from [[myths & legends]]; each time it's either been added back or I've been reverted. I assume the effect we're talking about is the one that sounds after Strong Bad says the fridge is a source of unspeakable power; if so, that sound also occurs in [[bottom 10]] and possibly other places. Therefore, I'll remove this item from the page unless someone has a reason why my info is wrong. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
: I don't remember it in [[bottom 10]] offhand. Will check when I put my dinner in the oven. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:'''Edit conflict''': Well I'm not sure sure how the best way to resolve this is, because if what you say is true, then the bottom 10 noise is the same as the myths & legends noise (which if my memory serves me right was "noted" to be in the same scale as the Geddup Noise or something strange like that). It should be somewhere in the [[Sound Effects]] page for sure. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:: It is ''not'' the same sound as in [[bottom 10]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::: Second that. You are thinking of the sound that occurs when strong bad sees the 'creepy painting'; it's lower and has a constant pitch, rather than the myths & legends sound effect, which starts at a higher note and goes to a lower note. It's the only appearance of that sound, so I think the reference should stand. By the way, is that sound anything else when sped up?<br />

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{approving The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up and nearly hits the ceiling}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmatory The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry [sic] of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The inside cover reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wingaling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab! <br />
<br />
''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of the Tandy reading "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are seen, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old questions!<br />
<br />
''{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}''<br />

<br />
''{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}''<br />

'''SPEAKER:''' Deleted!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.<br />
<br />
''{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' No wonder I got rid of that old bucha beige.<br />
<br />
''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A forklift and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to a "NegativeZero" fridge. It has a sticky note on it that reads "2 more eggs!"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The next page is snack time! What am I gonna have to eat today?<br />
<br />
''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it, a carton of milk, two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book is a source of unspeakable power. <br />
<br />
''{Spooky music is heard. The page turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! Bye, the Homestar Runner!<br />
<br />
''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rapidly decreasing volume}'' SeeyalaterStrongBaaa...<br />
<br />
''{The rays of the sun move.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh! It looks like The Cheato Bandito has stolen all of Senor Woodweno's gold!<br />
<br />
''{The tree flips down, revealing a pile of gold underneath.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.<br />
<br />
''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Strong Bad"'s foot rises and The Cheat moves upward.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, yoooooo. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!<br />
<br />
''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Not So Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower right, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!<br />
<br />
''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Not So Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Sounds like they improved on the technology since page 2! Aaaaaand, don't forget the crap-flap!<br />
<br />
''{A flap turns down with a pile of whatsit underneath. Cut back to the Lappy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So now the pop-up book is primed and ready for the four year-old, or The Cheat, in your life to use as a tissue! That thing'll provide seconds of non-ripped apart fun! Speaking of seconds, I'm gonna go eat my burgers.<br />

''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Not So Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower right, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!<br />
<br />
''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Not So Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.<br />
<br />
'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Sounds like they improved on the technology since page 2! Aaaaaand, don't forget the crap-flap!<br />
<br />
''{A flap turns down with a pile of whatsit underneath. Cut back to the Lappy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So now the pop-up book is primed and ready for the four year-old, or The Cheat, in your life to use as a tissue! That thing'll provide seconds of non-ripped apart fun! Speaking of seconds, I'm gonna go eat my burgers.<br />

==Easter Eggs==<br />

* Click on the pop-up Tandy 400 after Strong Bad says "The Lake Head" to see a comparison between Strong Sad's head and [[Wikipedia:Manicouagan_Reservoir|Manicouagan Reservoir]] in Quebec, a circular lake formed by a meteor impact in the late Triassic.<br />
* Click ''The Cheat'' to see a clip of The Cheat, Strong Sad and Bubs playing dominoes<br />

<br />
<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, <br /><br />
Does Strongbadia have its' own local<br /><br />
news even? If so, I hope it's better<br /><br />

<br />
''{Strong Bad says "Tallaha—... Tasalan—.. Gainesville, Florida" instead of "Tallahassee, FL"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, Dan, I'm only gonna sing this one more time: ''{singing}'' Ohhhhhhh ''{types while singing}'' If you want it to be possessive, it's just "I-T-S." But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S," ''{Short pause}'' scalawag. ''{stops typing}'' Ahem. Um, ''{Clears screen, resumes typing}'' Of course we've got local news. It's the—It's the greatest! Um... But I—I have to go now...and...do something...completely unrelated to me...throwing together...the aforementioned local news. Hoight!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad holds a sign reading "Strong Badia Action Cool News 5" in front of the camera. We can hear The Cheat making noises in the background imitating the musical intros of news shows.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Top Stories with anchorperson Strong Bad!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad gives a thumbs-up to the camera, as The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Strong Bad with Top Stories." Cut to Strong Mad standing in front of a blackboard holding a football, a tennis racquet, and twirling a cinder block on his left index finger as if it were a basketball.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad with the sports!<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Sportscarster Strong Mad". Cut to the Tire with an index card propped up next to it reading "Meteorologist TIRE."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Local weather with Tire!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to The Cheat standing in the field.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic!<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat grins at the camera and holds up an index card reading "THE FRiGGiN CHEAT" as the SkyCheat logo appears in the lower right-hand corner. Cut to Strong Bad sitting behind a desk situated in front of the fence.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening and tonight. I'm Strong Bad with today's top stories.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a side view of the desk (which now looks more like a cardboard box). The Cheat holds up a sign saying "World Crisis."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The World in Crisis! More on that later.<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat withdraws the World Crisis sign, and we switch to a frontal angle of the desk again.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Now let's check in with The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat standing in the field. Strong Mad throws The Cheat high into the air. The Cheat hangs there for a split-second and then falls back and is caught offscreen by Strong Mad. This process repeats over and over. Strong Bad makes helicopter sounds.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Thanks Strong Bad... This is The Cheat...with SkyCheat Traffic... There appears to be...some congestion...around Bubs' Concession Stand.<br />
<br />
''{cuts to the concession stand. Homestar, Marzipan and the King of Town are standing in line. There is a sign that says "Wait in Line: $5"}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Best five bucks I ever spent.<br />
<br />
''{Cuts back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, The Cheat. I guess those ''roads'' should not be ''rode'' upon, eh?<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to The Cheat, who is still being thrown into the air.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' not funny... i didn't even mention...any roads.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, thank you, tonight. We'll return to our top story: The World in Crisis.<br />
<br />
''{Bubs holds up the "World Crisis sign." Cut to side angle of the desk again. You can see Bubs, but he quickly runs away, dropping the sign.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' But first, here's Strong Mad with the sports.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the Classroom. The words "SCORE A POINT" are written on the board. Strong Mad is bouncing a football on the floor with a tennis racquet.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG MAD:''' I SHOULD WIN! I SHOULD WIN IT!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Mad swats the football at the camera. You can hear Strong Sad saying "Ow!" Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like our ''esportscaster'' isn't being a very good ''esport'', eh?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to The Cheat still being thrown in the air.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' pathetic.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the news desk.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Will the winter weather chill your cheeks?<br />
<br />
''{The Poopsmith holds up a sign reading "Winter Weather."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What's the word, Tire? <br />
<br />
''{Cuts to the tire on a desk with a weather map propped up against the fence. The map slowly slides down and falls off the desk, causing the tire to roll away and fall off the desk itself. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You heard it folks. Bundle up, but keep your swimsuit on outside your pants.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to side angle of desk}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight folks, and have a great job. Remember to turn in tomorrow for our special investigative report exposé: The World in Crisis.<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat's sound effects start up again}''<br />

#Ohhhhh... If you want it to be possessive,<br>It's just "I-T-S."<br>But if it's supposed to be a contraction,<br>Then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S,"<br>Scalawag.<br />
#Whatever happened to capitalization?<br>It used to be so cooool.<br />

#Y-O-U-R...<br>Y-O-U-Apostrophe-R-E...<br>They're as different as night and day.<br>Don't you think that night and day are different?<br>What's wrong with you?<br />
#And I don't care how they spell things on the Internet.<br>When you email me, you spell the whole word out.<br>And I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it.<br>''{He trails off making bass guitar noises.}''<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*"The World in Crisis" is making fun of the fact that most news stations always start off by telling you about the most interesting news story and keep you waiting to see it for a long time.<br />
*Strong Bad is likely affecting an exaggerated Spanish accent in his pronunciation of "sport" and "sportscaster." Because the s+consonant sound does not appear at the beginning of a word in Spanish, native Spanish speakers often have difficulty pronouncing such words and will add a soft e sound to the beginning.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*This is the first time Homestar mentions anything about [[Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent|best/worst bucks spent]].<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*The Cheat says that he didn't mention any roads, which may have been out of necessity—there are no known roads in [[Free Country, USA]].<br />
*When it first cuts to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia, the sky is oddly pink, but for the rest of the e-mail the sky is gray. This is different from Free Country, USA's usual clear blue sky.<br />
*The sportscaster card says "sportscarster," and spelling mistakes are atypical for Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*In response to Strong Bad's joke after Strong Mad's sports segment, The Cheat responds even though there may not have been enough time elapsed for Strong Mad to leave the studio and throw The Cheat in the air.<br />
*None of The Cheat's subtitles from "not funny" onward are capitalized.<br />
*When the tire falls off the desk, the crashing noise is heard before the tire actually hits the ground.<br />
*When Strong Bad is standing at the desk at a side angle, the outlines on the desk are different on the front and back.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*The arm on the S in the sign is a reference to [[Trogdor]].<br />
*The stained [[Index Cards|index cards]] used to display the titles and names of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Tire are similar to the ones used in [[band names]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*This email is from [[Wikipedia:Tallahassee, Florida|Tallahassee, Florida]], but Strong Bad finally says it is from [[Wikipedia:Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]]. The college football teams of these two cities &mdash; the [[Wikipedia:Seminole (tribe)|Seminoles]] of [[Wikipedia:Florida State University|Florida State University]] and [[Wikipedia:Florida Gators|Gators]] of [[Wikipedia:University of Florida|University of Florida]], respectively &mdash; are major rivals.<br />
*The Cheat making noises in the background near the beginning is a reference to news programs that play a bit of [[Wikipedia:Morse code|Morse code]] which fades as the anchor starts to speak.<br />
* The "it's e-mail time again!" intro sounds remarkably like the [[Wikipedia:KISS (band)|KISS]] song "Cold Gin" with the title replaced by the word "E-mail".<br />
*Strong Bad's songs are most likely making fun of School House Rock, an educational cartoon that teaches children subjects such as multiplication, grammar, history, etc.<br />
<br />
== DVD Version ==<br />
*All 5 Grammar songs have been incorporated into one long Easter egg.<br />
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br />

=== Commentary Transcript ===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Greetings, Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Greetings, Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It's nice to see you again here—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Thanks for joining me again.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' —in the commentary booth.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Can I get you anything?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... Can you get me something else?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe a picnic plate with wine and a baguette?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That's The Che—that's what The Cheat likes.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's his favorite.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I get him something else?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Heh, 'kay... Um...<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So this—I need to really put out this album.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Strong Mad's—"Strong ''Bad's'' Rhythm and Grammar."<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' My—What are you, my parents? I'm Strong Bad. ''Bad, bad, bad.''<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' How can I remember? Do you have any, uh, mnemonic devices?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' S. B., times three.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Ohh, I get it.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Okay, so, um, em—actually, this email... um... ''{mumbles}'' I don't wanna say that.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' Okay, something else? Maybe another factoid.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Uh... I like, um... the Strong Badia logo... right there for the news had an arm coming out of it, kinda like Trogdor.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah. Look at how he—that's amazing. Spinning that cinder block... "The friggin' Cheat," man. I like the Skycheat Traffic logo, too.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's good. You guys must have spent some money on that.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...So, if you're a news...carster...you gotta...you gotta say "tonight" as much as possible.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I learned.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Well, you say it a lot in this email.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're supposed to. Because you have to remind people, or they'll think it's the afternoon news, and they'll turn it off. Nobody wants to watch that crap.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' No, just the evening news.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Evening—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' "Tonight."<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight. The tonight news. We should have called it that. ''{pause}'' ''{referring to Homestar, the King of Town, and Marzipan standing in line at Bubs' Concession Stand}'' Those poor suckers. I mean, look at—you'd think, I mean, the King of Town and Homestar I understand, but Marzipan's usually a little more discerning. A little—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, she, uh... Maybe she couldn't see that sign.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and she's just waiting—she wanted a snow cone or something... Yeah. ''{pause}''<br />
<br />
''{simultaneously, after newscaster Strong Bad says "Yes. Well, thank you. Tonight."}''<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' There, he said... There, he did... So, Bubs... Bubs is...<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' See? Because, see, someone was about to change the channel, they'd be like, "Oh, this is the—this is noonday. I don't want to watch noonday." Oh! Yeah...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So that's where Bubs was. He wasn't at the concession stand because he was helping you with the news. Is he like an intern?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, he's at the station.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' He's trying—he's getting some hours. Community service, actually.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughs}'' Really? What did he do?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I—I'm not supposed to say.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Okay. Oh, and the Poopsmith's helping out now too.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... See, I actually originally drew a picture of butt cheeks with icicles on 'em, but the network wouldn't let me air it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I can s—I can imagine.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... ''{pause}'' I, um... ''{After newscaster Strong Bad says "tonight" again}'' ...See? Once again, that was, like, five more viewers—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That doesn't even make any sense.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' What do you mean?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I mean, you're just saying "tonight."<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I s—I kept reiterating that it is tonight!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' And you never told us what the World in Crisis was about.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's to get you to come back ''tomorrow'' night and watch.<br />
<br />

== Why? ==<br />
<br />
What the crap? Why? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:34, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
: I dunno. Why not? Maybe they just had lots and lots of old The Cheat drawings sitting around. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I'm with you, thunderbird. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:09, 13 Feb 2006 (PST)<br />
:I believe the answer to the question "Why?" can in this case be answered in two words: "Why not?" {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Wow, that was... odd. Feels like a Fanstuff. But I suppose it was because they have so dang many sketches lying around by now that they could edit them into a slideshow&mdash;kind of like leftovers casserole. The whole thing felt very Japanese, like the vibe of the [[Super NES|original theme song video]]. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 08:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Weird little toon. Heh. Maybe this was an early... uh... *very* early [[cheatday|The Cheatday]] present? -[[User:YK|YK]] 10:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Happy mornings. Email later. This will be a good day. Anybody want to count the drawings to make sure there are 500 of them? I'm kidding. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:22, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::<s>There are exactly 498 frames (not including the "loading" and the "done"). Each frame contains one The Cheat, so there should be about 500, if not exactly 498.</s> Hmm. There are exactly 536 frames altogether. Doing it again shows me the first 13 frames are "loading", and the last 23 frames are "done". First 13 frames + last 23 frames = 36. 536 - 36 = 500. Exactly 500 frames, each including one The Cheat, which means there are exactly 500 The Cheats. Yay! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 13:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I counted every single little The Cheat in the background (including ones that are usually obscured) and got to 407. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}<br />
<br />
Is this the Bros Chaps equivalent of "I got nothin'"?<br />
:This toon was accompanied by a "new email soon" button, which makes me think that they're just giving us a snack before the main course is introduced. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:06, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::That snack was disgusting!!!! &mdash [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]<br />

== Unique ==<br />
Are each of the 500 The Cheats unique? Can somebody compare some and see if he can find any matches? (Because showcasing 500 unique Teh C. sketches is probably the point of this short.) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:12, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:possibly... i thought it repeated every 15 times or so, but im not sure after looking at it. to check,right click on the flash and uncheck play, then hit forward for each frame. do a screenshot of each one, and open them in a picture editor that allows multiple layers. then compare them in that. have fun.{{User:Csours/sig}} 17:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::There are 500 The Cheat objects in the file. That doesn't exactly prove anything, except that TBC probably knew we'd take it apart to find out whether there were 500 images. Comparing each The Cheat to the others would have to be automated somehow, as a manual comparison would involve 124,750 steps (to conclusively prove it true; if it were proved false, the comparisons would likely stop much sooner). If the images were exported I'm sure a program could be set up to compare them at the bit level. (Admittedly, this method wouldn't find a match where the same The Cheat drawing was simply scanned twice.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Lots and lots of The Cheat.<br />
<br />
'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The Cheat}}<br />
<br />
'''Date:''' February 13, 2006<br />
<br />
'''Running time:''' 0:32<br />
<br />
'''Page title:''' A-Lotsa the Cheatsa!<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
<br />
''{While music plays with The Cheat's mumblings serving as the only lyrics, various drawings of The Cheat flash in a box in the middle of the screen. Lots of smaller The Cheat drawings are seen in the background. The Cheats in the background eventually turn around and upside-down in time to the music. Then the background flashes several colors, and the box with the main The Cheat drawings bounces and moves around the screen in time to the music. It finally returns to the center as the song ends with "done." written in it, and the background completely black. "back" and "do'gain?" appear below.}''<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
<br />
*Click on the rapidly changing drawing to see a ghosted image of The Cheat appear over them.<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*There are 536 frames altogether; however, 36 of these frames are the beginning "loading" screen and the "done" screen at the end. Each frame that isn't a "loading" or a "done" screen contains one The Cheat; therefore, there are exactly 500 The Cheats.<br />
*Each drawing of The Cheat appears to be unique, however this cannot be reasonably proven.<br />
*There are 407 The Cheats in the background, including ones partially covered by the border or occasionally obscured by the center box.<br />
**Including the The Cheats visible off to the sides of the screen (when viewing the flash file), the total number of The Cheats is equal to 480.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*The "[[Definite Article|The]]" is not capitalized in the page title, even though it should be, since it's part of The Cheat's name.<br />
<br />
===Glitches=== <br />
[[Image:500thecheats glitch.PNG|thumb|Toons Menu glitch]] <br />
*Originally, playing the toon right from the [[Toons Menu]] caused the Flash file to appear straight on the menu. Once The Cheats in the background started to move, they sometimes exceeded the black borders and cover the Toons Menu. This was fixed later in the day.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
* When The Cheats in the background start to move, the movement is similar to images of The Cheat in [[The Cheat Theme Song]].<br />
* The page title, "A-Lotsa the Cheatsa!", is the second use of "Cheatsa", the first being the Cheatsa Parties Easter egg in [[mile]].<br />
* The drum loop used in this short is almost identical to that used in the [[Theme Song Video]].<br />

I'm kinda miffed that someone removed my comment about the broken JPEG icon being from Mozilla. I thought it was interesting. Oh well. And this sentence about Linux--<i>The name is often thrown around as a buzzword by those who do not know what it is, which explains Strong Bad's absolutely random use of the name</i>--sounds rather pompous, even condescending. ~ [[User:Aero|Aero]] 11:44, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

==Mac popup?==<br />

:I'm more bothered by it not being a thumbnail, as is seemingly standard nowadays.<br />
:Also... about this line:<br />
:"It also seems to be able to evade pop-up blockers. Uh oh, don't let the ad companies find out about this..."<br />
:What pop-up blocker are you using? Both SP2 and Google blocked the pop-up until I told them to trust HSR.com, so that doesn't hold true. At all. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 20:45, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
::[[User:Aero|Aero]] has brought up a good point here-- the needless screenshot seems to make this already long article (mainly due to the long transcript) even longer. The fact that Mac OS X displays popups with a different bar across the top would be justified if, on [[The System Is Down]] or [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], there were a discussion on how "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" only applies to people using the Internet Explorer browser. The overall point being the TBC most likely chose to display popups in the style that they did expecting the most number of users to be using the aforementioned browser (along with Windows). And of course there are going to be users of other browsers and operating systems. I'm sure most of us can agree that we are able to imagine what the differences may be without the need for a screenshot. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:35, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
::I'm of the opinion that the Mac OS X thing doesn't belong. It just doesn't seem all that important.

==Name of file?==<br />

Strange, he wasn't nearly as dramatic when the Tandy exploded. And he pretty much threw it away after a while. This e-mail has "new computer" written all over it.<br />
<br />
:I get the impression that the Tandy was just some computer he happened to have, maybe he just inherited it from someone else or something, whereas the Compy 386 was something he specifically went out and got, himself, to replace the Tandy. So he's bound to have more emotional attachment to it. --[[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]], 2004.11.19 20:36GMT<br />
<br />
::Actually, Strong Sad says in [[gimmicks]] that SB bought the Tandy at a garage sale for $15... But also the Tandy's demise was a freak occurance AND he patched it back up to work (for better or worse) two e-mails later, whereas Compy's demise was at the hands of someone specifically (Bubs) and was beyond repair (though if you think about, after [[gimmicks]], the Tandy wasn't in such great shape either...) --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:34, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)<br />

== Just a heads up... ==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that in previous e-mails that they've singled out occasions where everyone was used. This one come's close so I was wondering if anyone spotted Homsar besides the little Strong Mad sound effect.<br />
<br />
:Not I, and it doesn't matter anyway - Pom-Pom is absent as well. - [[User:Jay|Jay]]<br />
<br />
== Slight correction ==<br />
<br />
I think Strongbad's line early on in the email is "Like the kind that ''mobs in'' offshore casinos send you?", not Moms. Makes more sense anyway, since mobs have been rumored to run, among other things, casinos, and though the idea of mobs distributing viruses is absurd, it pokes fun at the misinformation and paranioa most people have concerning viruses.<br />
:I thought about that, but I listened to it a few times and it still kind of sounded like "moms," so I just left it in. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 22:15, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
:Actually, "moms" and "offshore casinos" together do make sense. Appearantly, you haven't seen nearly as much spam as I have. ;) --[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pidgeot Pidgeot] 16:15, 16 Nov 2004 (CET)<br />

::I was thinking more of spam advertísing "h0t mom pr0n" - many such sites will claim to give you free access to stuff as long as you download a small program, which contains viruses, malware, etc. Of course, you're not told the last part ^.^ --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]]</small> 16:27, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

Now that Compy is more or less gone, shouldn't there be a new sbemail menu? Didn't they do this with Tandy?<br />
:Well No Name, they can't do it NOW. If they would've, it would have ruined the surprise if you accessed the email via the sbemail menu. They'll probably change it next week or so. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:53, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

== The "Gibberish" Sound ==<br />
<br />
I'm probably wasting my time, but I started fooling around with the weird gibberish sounds heard from Marzipan and the glitched Quote of the Day to see if there was any meaning to them. After applying several filters to the original wave file, I've been able to make out the following quote:<br />
<br />
"(blah blah blah) this music... and the design... and (blah blah) musician"<br />
<br />
Take a listen and see if you can make it out too.<br />

:Hmm... I listened to it again I ''think'' she's still talking about the stack of VHS tapes. I think she's not saying "(blah blah) musician", but "and the composition", i.e., the design and composition of the, um, VHS tapes (you know, making a big deal out of it like it were an art sculpture, not unlike Marzipan). I can't hear the "c" in "composition" there, but it could have been filtered out or something. I could be way off, though. The word "design" sticks out pretty well but the rest is just muddled. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 23:24, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

I uploaded some files - [[Media:Before.ogg|Before]] and [[Media:After.ogg|After]]. These are sounds of distorted marzipan before and after editing - I raised the pitch and used a noise filter. It introduced a lot of extra harmonics, though. This makes me think she's saying "It accentuates the form, and the design, and the composition." - [[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />
<br />
* FYI: I fixed your Ogg links. Use <nowiki>[[Media:Before.ogg|Description]]</nowiki> for sound files. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* After listening to After.ogg (and speeding it up a bit more to more closely match Marzipan's voice), I have to agree. Though those first two words are still pretty obscure - I almost hear "It '''concentrates''' the form" - the rest of it is pretty clear, though. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
** Actually, listening to the slower version makes me think "In countries, new accord, the desire, and the composition". Makes no sense, but that's what I'm hearing now. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC<br />
*** Here's another edited version: [[Media:After2.ogg|After editing, numba two]]. Here I raised the pitch a little bit more, and got rid of some of the higher harmonic frequencies - the result sounds a little damped, but you can still make it out. I think that the distorted gibberish was in fact a clip of Missy saying "It accentuates the accord, and the design, and the compositionnnn!" which TBC distorted quite a bit and transposed down by two octaves or so. Note that if this was a clip of one of TBC, it would sound like a chipmunk; it's very probably a female voice. Although we can't say for certain that it's Missy Chapman, it seems likely since she provides Marzipan's (normal) voice. - [[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />

== Pruning ==<br />
<br />
I just went and slashed a lot of fun facts. I also separated the references for now, just because there are so many (and some are disputed). This might be temporary, and don't think it'd be necessary to create a "References" section for every e-mail, just reference-heavy ones. I'm not entirely happy with that, since in some cases it's hard to figure out if something is more of a fun fact or a reference. But this is just a start and it might help bring some order from the chaos. (I also did my best to order the references in the rough order they appear in the e-mail, so it'll be easier to find the one you want to edit/remove/etc.) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Just to clarify, the idea in separating the references from the fun facts now is so that both can be pruned more efficiently. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:27, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

<br />
:I disagree that it'd be necessary for all the other e-mails. I mean, really, is it that necessary that every e-mail page follow precisely the same format? It's good to be consistent, but also bear in mind that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". I don't see advantages in doing it for all the other e-mails. I do see advantages in doing it for this one, at least until we get the list sorted out. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 17:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I think if this one needs it, all others need it (except for ones who have no references in them). If we don't let Strong Bad e-mails follow the same format, why not let the transcripts follow their own format, or the toons?

<br />
::You don't understand. You ''all'' understand. I mean, don't understand. Well, anyway, the difference is that transcripts, toons, etc. follow the same general format because there is usually no significant reason to deviate. On the other hand, most of them don't have "fun facts" sections filling up a third of the page, either. You say they all need to follow precisely the same format, but I must ask you: why? This isn't arbitrary format fiddling. I stated my case (which you didn't argue with), and I also said that it will probably be temporary. Tell me, what brings greater benefit: trying to organize the <s>mess</s> mass of <s>dumb</s> fun facts, or sticking to the same old format for no reason other the sake of sticking to a format? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 08:02, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

== Crossing the 4th Wall ==<br />
I disagree with the last fun fact. Never do the characters acknowledge that they are CARTOONS. In the homestar universe, the strong bad emails (as the cheat is watching on his computer in huttah!) are analogous to live TV shows in our universe. Similarly, all the other instances can be explained by assuming that Strong Bad and co. are aware that people are watching them, but just as a live show.<br />
<br />

What browsers are we talking about here? At the very least, we should list what changes from browser to browser. I haven't noticed any difference from Firefox to IE. I'm thinking this glitch might be due to a particular user's settings. As such, I've removed it from the article for now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />

It's not like there's a glaring sign saying "78 COMPY SBEMAILS, 40 TANDY SBEMAILS". -- [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:54, 18 May 2005<br />
*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much <b>is</b> obvious.

::[[User:Aero|Aero]] has brought up a good point here-- the needless screenshot seems to make this already long article (mainly due to the long transcript) even longer. The fact that Mac OS X displays popups with a different bar across the top would be justified if, on [[The System Is Down]] or [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], there were a discussion on how "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" only applies to people using the Internet Explorer browser. The overall point being the TBC most likely chose to display popups in the style that they did expecting the most number of users to be using the aforementioned browser (along with Windows). And of course there are going to be users of other browsers and operating systems. I'm sure most of us can agree that we are able to imagine what the differences may be without the need for a screenshot. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:35, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

I've noticed that in previous e-mails that they've singled out occasions where everyone was used. This one come's close so I was wondering if anyone spotted Homsar besides the little Strong Mad sound effect.<br />

== Slight correction ==<br />
<br />
I think Strongbad's line early on in the email is "Like the kind that ''mobs in'' offshore casinos send you?", not Moms. Makes more sense anyway, since mobs have been rumored to run, among other things, casinos, and though the idea of mobs distributing viruses is absurd, it pokes fun at the misinformation and paranioa most people have concerning viruses.<br />

I'm probably wasting my time, but I started fooling around with the weird gibberish sounds heard from Marzipan and the glitched Quote of the Day to see if there was any meaning to them. After applying several filters to the original wave file, I've been able to make out the following quote:<br />
<br />
"(blah blah blah) this music... and the design... and (blah blah) musician"<br />

I uploaded some files - [[Media:Before.ogg|Before]] and [[Media:After.ogg|After]]. These are sounds of distorted marzipan before and after editing - I raised the pitch and used a noise filter. It introduced a lot of extra harmonics, though. This makes me think she's saying "It accentuates the form, and the design, and the composition." - [[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />

* FYI: I fixed your Ogg links. Use <nowiki>[[Media:Before.ogg|Description]]</nowiki> for sound files. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* After listening to After.ogg (and speeding it up a bit more to more closely match Marzipan's voice), I have to agree. Though those first two words are still pretty obscure - I almost hear "It '''concentrates''' the form" - the rest of it is pretty clear, though. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
** Actually, listening to the slower version makes me think "In countries, new accord, the desire, and the composition". Makes no sense, but that's what I'm hearing now. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC<br />
*** Here's another edited version: [[Media:After2.ogg|After editing, numba two]]. Here I raised the pitch a little bit more, and got rid of some of the higher harmonic frequencies - the result sounds a little damped, but you can still make it out. I think that the distorted gibberish was in fact a clip of Missy saying "It accentuates the accord, and the design, and the compositionnnn!" which TBC distorted quite a bit and transposed down by two octaves or so. - [[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />

== Pruning ==<br />
<br />
I just went and slashed a lot of fun facts. I also separated the references for now, just because there are so many (and some are disputed). This might be temporary, and don't think it'd be necessary to create a "References" section for every e-mail, just reference-heavy ones. I'm not entirely happy with that, since in some cases it's hard to figure out if something is more of a fun fact or a reference. But this is just a start and it might help bring some order from the chaos. (I also did my best to order the references in the rough order they appear in the e-mail, so it'll be easier to find the one you want to edit/remove/etc.) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Just to clarify, the idea in separating the references from the fun facts now is so that both can be pruned more efficiently. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:27, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

<br />
:I disagree that it'd be necessary for all the other e-mails. I mean, really, is it that necessary that every e-mail page follow precisely the same format? It's good to be consistent, but also bear in mind that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". I don't see advantages in doing it for all the other e-mails. I do see advantages in doing it for this one, at least until we get the list sorted out. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 17:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I think if this one needs it, all others need it (except for ones who have no references in them). If we don't let Strong Bad e-mails follow the same format, why not let the transcripts follow their own format, or the toons? I think it's definately necessary for all Strong Bad E-mails to follow the same format. -- <small>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</small>|<sub>[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]</sub><br />
<br />
::You don't understand. You ''all'' understand. I mean, don't understand. Well, anyway, the difference is that transcripts, toons, etc. follow the same general format because there is usually no significant reason to deviate. On the other hand, most of them don't have "fun facts" sections filling up a third of the page, either. You say they all need to follow precisely the same format, but I must ask you: why? This isn't arbitrary format fiddling. I stated my case (which you didn't argue with), and I also said that it will probably be temporary. Tell me, what brings greater benefit: trying to organize the <s>mess</s> mass of <s>dumb</s> fun facts, or sticking to the same old format for no reason other the sake of sticking to a format? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 08:02, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

== Crossing the 4th Wall ==<br />
I disagree with the last fun fact. Never do the characters acknowledge that they are CARTOONS. In the homestar universe, the strong bad emails (as the cheat is watching on his computer in huttah!) are analogous to live TV shows in our universe. Similarly, all the other instances can be explained by assuming that Strong Bad and co. are aware that people are watching them, but just as a live show.<br />
<br />
:Well, that's what the [[HRWiki:STUFF]] page is for. If you don't like a fun fact (and it hadn't gone through the process already), just move it there. I'll do it for ya this time. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 23:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

What browsers are we talking about here? At the very least, we should list what changes from browser to browser. I haven't noticed any difference from Firefox to IE. I'm thinking this glitch might be due to a particular user's settings. As such, I've removed it from the article for now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />

=== Drive letter (Accepted) ===<br />
After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time, and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears. This is possible, but I doubt Strong Bad knows the right command.<br />

===The Compy's Reign (Declined)===<br />
This email marks the end of the Compy's 78-email reign. What's interesting about this is that the Tandy was used by Strong Bad for only 40, and the Compy outlived it by almost twice that.<br />
*'''Decline.''' This is a comment, not a fact. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:23, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)<br />

*<b>Decline</b> This is way to obvious to need noting. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]<br />
*'''Comment.''' Number one, you used "to" in the wrong context. Number two, is it really obvious? I mean, can anyone just look at the SBEmail menu and automaticaly say "Oh, there are 78 Compy SBEmails" even if they've never seen a SBEmail in their life? It's not like there's a glaring sign saying "78 COMPY SBEMAILS, 40 TANDY SBEMAILS". -- [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:54, 18 May 2005<br />
*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much <b>is</b> obvious. As for tandy having 40 e-mails and compy having 78, that belongs on the strong bad e-mails article, not the virus one. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]<br />
*'''Weak Accept / Rewrite''' - I also second AtionSong's vote. If you revise it by making it seem like a fact rather than just a comment, as stated above, then it comes together as a solid fact.

::[[User:Aero|Aero]] has brought up a good point here-- the needless screenshot seems to make this already long article (mainly due to the long transcript) even longer. The fact that Mac OS X displays popups with a different bar across the top would be justified if, on [[The System Is Down]] or [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], there were a discussion on how "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" only applies to people using the Internet Explorer browser. The overall point being the TBC most likely chose to display popups in the style that they did expecting the most number of users to be using the aforementioned browser (along with Windows). And of course there are going to be users of other browsers and operating systems. I'm sure most of us can agree that we are able to imagine what the differences may be without the need for a screenshot. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:35, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

== Slight correction ==<br />
<br />
I think Strongbad's line early on in the email is "Like the kind that ''mobs in'' offshore casinos send you?", not Moms. Makes more sense anyway, since mobs have been rumored to run, among other things, casinos, and though the idea of mobs distributing viruses is absurd, it pokes fun at the misinformation and paranioa most people have concerning viruses.<br />

I'm probably wasting my time, but I started fooling around with the weird gibberish sounds heard from Marzipan and the glitched Quote of the Day to see if there was any meaning to them. After applying several filters to the original wave file, I've been able to make out the following quote:<br />

"(blah blah blah) this music... and the design... and (blah blah) musician"<br />

I uploaded some files - [[Image:Before.ogg]], [[Image:After.ogg]]. These are sounds of distorted marzipan before and after editing - I raised the pitch and used a noise filter.

== Pruning ==<br />
<br />
I just went and slashed a lot of fun facts. I also separated the references for now, just because there are so many (and some are disputed). This might be temporary, and don't think it'd be necessary to create a "References" section for every e-mail, just reference-heavy ones. I'm not entirely happy with that, since in some cases it's hard to figure out if something is more of a fun fact or a reference. But this is just a start and it might help bring some order from the chaos. (I also did my best to order the references in the rough order they appear in the e-mail, so it'll be easier to find the one you want to edit/remove/etc.) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

:I disagree that it'd be necessary for all the other e-mails. I mean, really, is it that necessary that every e-mail page follow precisely the same format?

::You don't understand. You ''all'' understand. I mean, don't understand. Well, anyway, the difference is that transcripts, toons, etc. follow the same general format because there is usually no significant reason to deviate. On the other hand, most of them don't have "fun facts" sections filling up a third of the page, either. You say they all need to follow precisely the same format, but I must ask you: why? This isn't arbitrary format fiddling. I stated my case (which you didn't argue with), and I also said that it will probably be temporary. Tell me, what brings greater benefit: trying to organize the <s>mess</s> mass of <s>dumb</s> fun facts, or sticking to the same old format for no reason other the sake of sticking to a format? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 08:02, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

== Crossing the 4th Wall ==<br />
I disagree with the last fun fact. Never do the characters acknowledge that they are CARTOONS. In the homestar universe, the strong bad emails (as the cheat is watching on his computer in huttah!) are analogous to live TV shows in our universe. Similarly, all the other instances can be explained by assuming that Strong Bad and co. are aware that people are watching them, but just as a live show.<br />

*On some browsers, this email doesn't work properly. First, the "Click On The Monkey" popup never appears even after disabling pop up blockers, then all the animation (except for the characters blinking) stops during the Strong Mad and Marzipan section.<br />
What browsers are we talking about here? At the very least, we should list what changes from browser to browser. I haven't noticed any difference from Firefox to IE. I'm thinking this glitch might be due to a particular user's settings. As such, I've removed it from the article for now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />

===The Compy's Reign (Declined)===<br />
This email marks the end of the Compy's 78-email reign. What's interesting about this is that the Tandy was used by Strong Bad for only 40, and the Compy outlived it by almost twice that.<br />
*'''Decline.''' This is a comment, not a fact. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:23, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)<br />

*'''Rewrite''' It is gewd to tell exactly how many emails it lasted, but I'm not sure about the second part. Actually, I go with tomstiff. [[User: Lappy 486]]<br />
*'''Decline''' I don't think that there is any significance in mentioning this. Possibly is could go on the [[Compy 386]] page instead, but definately not here. - [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 7 May, 2005<br />
*<b>Decline</b> This is way to obvious to need noting. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]<br />
*'''Comment.''' Number one, you used "to" in the wrong context. Number two, is it really obvious? I mean, can anyone just look at the SBEmail menu and automaticaly say "Oh, there are 78 Compy SBEmails" even if they've never seen a SBEmail in their life? It's not like there's a glaring sign saying "78 COMPY SBEMAILS, 40 TANDY SBEMAILS". -- [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:54, 18 May 2005<br />
*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much <b>is</b> obvious. As for tandy having 40 e-mails and compy having 78, that belongs on the strong bad e-mails article, not the virus one. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]<br />
*'''Weak Accept / Rewrite''' - I also second AtionSong's vote. If you revise it by making it seem like a fact rather than just a comment, as stated above, then it comes together as a solid fact. It's not a signifigant detail, but it's worth noting. At least to me. [[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] - 11:16 PM, 21 May 2005<br />

<br />
*For some reason I couldn't revert the page back to normal, I couldn't FIND a page that had the easter eggs, only previous editions that had the list. I had to cut and paste from that list. Is there some virus in the wiki or something? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
** You could just revert from the previous version. (Go to History, select an old version, then hit "edit" and save it without changing it.) Anyway, I've been noticing us missing a LOT of vandalism lately. I couldn't say why, but this IS getting close to finals week - assuming it ''isn't'' finals week - for anyone in college. Thanks for sorta-reverting it, though. --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 03:14, 12 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
***I dunno, maybe I suck at this, but I tried that. The first time, it wouldn't take, the second time I noticed that EVERY page I tried seemed to have the Easter Eggs missing. I thought maybe someone hacked the site or something. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 00:55, 13 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
****[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=virus&oldid=79591 This edit] was the last one before the troll to contain Easter Eggs. The troll only affected one edit.

== Should we make this page look Virus'd? ==<br />
I thought instead of being like a normal page, this can look like a virus affected it. I thought on the picture of each page, it can look like this.<br />
Should I do this?<br />

== Transcript ==<br />
''{We open to a shot of Strong Sad and Coach Z standing in the Athletic Field, which has been painted to resemble a soccer field. A knotted rope is dangling from above.}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Come on, Strong Sad, I knows you can do it! Just cram a little oom-pah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no times!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Look, I'm willing to ignore that ''{winces}'' "oom-pah down my pants" comment, ''{looks back at Coach Z}'' but I'm more concerned ''{looks up at the rope}'' with what that rope is attached to! <br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Never you mind! Just get to climbin'!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, ropes are for dopes.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' Scripture?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if you ask me.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington, ''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides off the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}'' who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm! They both died! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{The girl starts crying. We cut to another area of the field, with a tree stump and squirrel in it.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time! I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles. Just sadness and misery.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a town.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner! And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a two-shot of Saddy and the Mayor.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So one day, the Mayor ordered&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, I know this part! ''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers ''{a paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS"}'' to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival! ''{Motown-style music starts playing, and the brothers start dancing}''<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a good time tonight!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look at 'em go!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real"}'' good time toni&mdash; ''{the music cuts with a record scratch}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately! ''{the aforementioned occurs. A cane drags the brothers off-screen. Saddy and the Mayor fly back onto the screen}'' The Mayor then ordered Saddy Dumpington to leave town and never speak to its citizens again.<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' But, Mr. Mayor! Sometimes, dogs get so hungry, they eat their own tails! Isn't that&mdash; ''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy Dumpington with such force that he flies out of the town.}'' greeeeeeaaaaattt? ''{Saddy falls tenderly on a hill. We fade to a forest, Saddy Dumpington walking through it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of critters 'long the way.<br />
<br />
''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket! You have no central nervous system! So it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to another area of the woods. A fox is now present.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers? ''{Saddy turns to look at him. The piece of paper falls from the top of the screen again, and The Dancing Brothers fall into the frame, dancing.}'' "Glenn", "Martbell", and the "Killer Dynamo"! ''{music begins playing.}''<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time toni&mdash; ''{Again, the music scratches to a halt. The Dancing Brothers look dejected}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No! The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas! ''{The Brothers start sneezing}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, jeez! That's harsh!<br />
<br />
''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then one day, ol' Dumps here got a message from town! ''{an arrow with a message attached flies into a tree. Cut to a close-up of the letter. As the message is spoken, the words appear on the page.}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="width:300px">Saddy,<br><br />
We haven't stopped laughing<br><br />
since you left. No one can get any<br><br />
work done. We need you to come<br><br />
say something miserable and<br><br />
depressing so we can have our<br><br />
lives back.<br><br />
<br />
<div align="right">Talk atcha later,<br>The Townsfolk</div></blockquote><br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Something miserable and depressing? I've never thought of such a thing! <br />
<br />
''{An odd-looking purple snake with a tuft of hair on its head slithers towards Saddy.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Um... would weird snakes be considered depressing?<br />
<br />
''{cut to an evening shot of the field. Saddy is walking through it, now with an odd tail on his back.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So he strolled into town, dressed as a weird snake.<br />
<br />
''{We cut to the town. Saddy Dumpington is wearing a costume reminiscent of the weird snake he found by the pond. All the townsfolk are laughing.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I'm a weird, weird snake, everyone! My name is Weird Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives.<br />
<br />
''{The townsfolk all collapse. Cut back to the Athletic Field, the rope and Coach Z still present.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' And that brings me to this rope. I'm gonna pass out if I have to climb this rope.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Man, Strong Sad, that's a real load right there! A real load! That kind of thing might work on Coach X, or Coach Y, ''{loudly}'' but you're dealing with Coach dang Z! Now get up that rope! ''{Strong Sad moans, and passes out.}'' Oh, jeez! I killed the Elephant Man! Oh, this is bad! This is rrrl bad, man! What would the Dancin' Brothers do in a sitch'ation like this? ''{thinks for a moment and then starts dancing and singing}'' <br />
<br />
Oh, gonna have a good time tonight!<br><br />
Gonna have a good time tonight! <br><br />
''{dances off the screen.}''<br><br />
Gonna have a good time... <br><br />
<br />
''{Strong Sad opens his eyes and turns his head towards the camera.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Works every time.<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' ''{along with the music that starts playing}'' Gonna have a real good, good, good, good, good time tonight!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Sad pretends to go back into unconciousness. The screen darkens, and "end." appears, accompanied by Saddy Dumpington's head.}''<br />
<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
* Click on the rope at the end to see what is really holding it up.<br />
<br />
''{Homsar is upside down at the top of the screen. He has the rope in his mouth.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMSAR:''' <!--No speculation here, please! We have been completely unable to reach a consensus regarding Homsar's line. See the talk page for more info.--> ''{tries to talk with his mouth full}''<br />
<br />
''{His hat floats in a rectangular path off his head and comes back}''<br />
<br />
* Click on Strong Sad's head to see a scene with Bubs at his Concession Stand.<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' ''{on the phone}'' What? No! Of course you can't come here! You need to get out of town, man! Lay low for a while! Yeah, all right, all right, you is my dog too. Now get movin'!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping in from the top of the stand}'' Who was that?<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' Ah, that was just Homestar. Now keep outta sight!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{panicked}'' Sure! ''{hides again}''<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
{{checkstuffpage}}<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Vertebrates|Vertebrates]] possess a [[Wikipedia:central nervous system|central nervous system]] consisting of the brain and spinal cord. [[Wikipedia:Invertebrate|Invertebrates]] (including [[Wikipedia:insects|insects]] like [[Wikipedia:Cricket (insect)|crickets]]) possess a nervous system, but do not have a spinal cord.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*This is the first toon that features members of the main cast but in which neither [[Homestar Runner]] nor [[Strong Bad]] make an appearance.<br />
*In the scene where the townsfolk laugh until they pass out, the man in the front left looks identical to the man in the back right, only mirrored. Once everyone passes out, a man falls from above who looks identical to the person in the back left.<br />
*When the note gets pinned to the tree above Saddy, it already has the words on it. Yet when it zooms in, the words don't appear until after they are said.<br />
* Assuming the laws of physics are the same in the H*R universe as in ours, the length of the rope can be calculated to be 17 feet. <br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
[[Image:folky tale goof.PNG|thumb|look closely|120px]]<br />
*When Strong Sad falls down at the end of the toon, the shape created and overlaid on the background to show his indention in the grass does not quite match the background. The green and the white are both slightly brighter, and the seam in the white circle doesn't line up.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*Saddy Dumpington was introduced in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].<br />
*Listening to Bubs's end of the phone conversation, Homestar apparently calls Bubs "his dog." He refers to other characters this way in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] and [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Joseph Merrick|Joseph Merrick]] (1862&ndash;1890), called "The Elephant Man," was a person from the late 19th century known for being deformed as a result of either [[Wikipedia:Proteus syndrome|Proteus syndrome]] or [[Wikipedia:Neurofibromatosis|Neurofibromatosis]].<br />

<div>== Physics ==<br />
<br />
''If the laws of physics are the same in Free Country, USA as they are on the real earth, then the rope is only about 10 feet long.''<br />
<br />
If i dare to reveal my ignorance, can anyone explain/elaborate?<br />
And evidently, the rope is NOT 10 feet long as Strong Sad cannot see Homsar holding it<br />
Then again, since when does physic apply around Homsar?<br />
-[[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]<br />
<br />
:The time it takes a pendulum to swing back and forth is the same regardless of its weight or density. It only depends on the strength of gravity and the length of the pendulum. So since the rope takes about 3.4 seconds to swing back and forth, it should be about ten feet long. But this fact keeps on being deleted, so it's probably not important. -[[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />
<br />
::It's really not important how long the rope is, especially since you can still see the tops of the trees. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:07, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Strong Sad doesn't say he can't see homsar; He just says that he is "concerned about what that rope is attached to." Wouldn't you be concerned if Coach Z told you to climb a rope held up by homsar and nothing else?<br />

== The mayor and Dancing bros. ==<br />
<br />
Where should we catagorize them? I like the Dancing bros. enough to make a page about them, but the mayor is just a guy.. with ... a job..?--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:20, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

I'm am doing the Dancing Brothers, but I don't think an article about the mayor is a good idea. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}} 04:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
does it take two or three times to be mentioned as an inside joke? it depends on that i think--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:38, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

So, then what should I do? BTW, thanks! lol --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:41, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Linking Up==<br />
I think it would be a good idea to link Saddy Dumpington in the inside references section.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:40, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Saddy Dumpington's already linked at the top under Characters. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 04:42, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Roger. Sorry! I'm just excited to be helping a little bit with the new toon.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:44, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
^^I feel the same way. I'm trying to find something I can do!!! lol --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:45, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Linking to this article==<br />
Should we title the link as Saddy Dumpington (toon), or Saddy Dumpington. I prefer the latter because wherever the link is, people will be able to presue by the text that it is a cartoon.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:48, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Saddy Dumpington is already an article about the character.--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:49, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I know that, but I talking about using the | thing in the link. I've seen it before for toons.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:51, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I vote we should hold off on the desicion until it is on the toons page and then make the visible part of the link say whatever the toons page says.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 05:05, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Article Name ==<br />
<br />
Why is this article not called [[The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington]]? That's what's on the title card. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:50, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
: I think the page should be moved as soon as the title appears on the 'Toons page (which it hasn't yet). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:53, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah, I agree. I won't be surprised if that above is the full title. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:08, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

I'm not sure if the "ropes are for dopes" comment should be kept in the remarks section (at least how it is). Although when people start a story with a quote, the quote is in the story, that is not always true. Maybe it should be a fun fact. -[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 05:16, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)</div>Emanhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/A_Folky_TaleA Folky Tale2005-08-23T05:17:01Z<p>Eman: oops</p>

== Transcript ==<br />
''{We open to a shot of Strong Sad and Coach Z standing in The Field. A rope is dangling from above.}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Come on, Strong Sad, I knows you can do it! Just cram a little oomp-ah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no times!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Look. I'm willing to ignore that "oomp-ah down my pants" comment, ''{turns head towards the rope}'' but I'm more concerned with what that rope is attached to. ''{looks back at Coach Z}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Never you mind! Just get to climbin'!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, ropes are for dopes.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' scripture?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if you ask me.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tales - Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington, ''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides of the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}'' who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm! They both died! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{The girl starts crying. We cut to another area of the field, with a treestump and squirrel in it.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time! I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles. Just sadness and misery.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a town.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner! And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a two-shot of Saddy and the Mayor.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' So one day, the Mayor ordered&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I know this part! ''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers ''{a paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS"}'' to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival! ''{music start playing, and the brothers start dancing}''<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonnna have a good time tonight!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Look at 'em go!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real"}'' good time toni&mdash; ''{the music cuts with a record scratch}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' But the Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately. ''{the aforementioned occurs. A cane drags the brothers off-screen. Saddy and the Mayor fly back onto the screen}'' The Mayor then ordered Saddy Dumpington to leave town and never speak to its citizens again.<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' But, Mr. Mayor! Sometimes, dogs get so hungry, they eat their own tails! Isn't that gr&mdash; ''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy Dumpington with such force that he flies out of the town.}'' &mdash;eeeeeeaaaaattt? ''{Saddy falls tenderly on a hill. We fade to a forest, Saddy Dumpington walking through it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of animals along the way.<br />
<br />
''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket! You have no central nervous system! So it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to another area of the woods. A fox is now present.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{off-screen}''Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers? ''{Saddy turns to look at him. The piece of paper falls from the top of the screen again, and The Dancing Brothers fall into the frame, dancing.}'' Glenn, Martbell, and the Killer Dynamo! ''{music begins playing, but it shortly screeches to a halt. The Brothers stop dancing, looking dejected.}''<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time toni&mdash; ''{again, the music cuts with a record scratch}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' No! The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas! ''{The Brothers start sneezing}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, jeez! That's harsh!<br />
<br />
''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Then one day, old Dumps here got a message from town! ''{a knife with a message attached flies into a tree. Cut to a close-up of the letter. As the message is spoken, the words appear on the page.}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="width:300px">Saddy,<br><br />

since you left. No one can get any<br><br />
work done. We need you to come<br><br />

<div align="right">Talk atcha later,<br>The Townsfolk</div></blockquote><br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Something miserable and depressing? I've never thought of such a thing! <br />
<br />
''{An odd-looking purple snake with a tuft of hair on its head slithers towards Saddy.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Um... would weird snakes be considered depressing?<br />
<br />
''{cut to an evening shot of the field. Saddy is walking through it, now with an odd tail on his back.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' So he strolled into town, dressed as weird snake.<br />
<br />
''{We cut to the town. Strong Sad is wearing a costume reminiscant to the weird snake he found by the pond. All the townsfolk are laughing.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I'm a weird snake, everyone! My name is Wierd Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives.<br />
<br />
''{We cut back to the field, rope and Coach Z still present.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' And that brings me to this rope. I'm gonna pass out if I have to climb this rope.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Eh, Strong Sad, that's a real load right there, a real load! That kind of thing might work on Coach X, or Coach Y, ''{loudly}'' but you're dealing with Coach Dang Z! Now get up on that rope! ''{Strong Sad moans, and passes out.}'' Oh, jeez! I killed the Elephant Man! Oh, man, this is real bad, man! What would the Dancin' Brothers do in a situation ''{pronounced "sit-she-ation"}'' like this? ''{starts dancing and singing}'' <br />
<br />
Oh, gonna have a good time tonight!<br><br />
Gonna have a good time tonight! <br><br />
''{dances off the screen.}''<br><br />
Gonna have a good time tonight... <br><br />
Gonna have a good...<br><br />
<br />
''{Strong Sad opens his eyes and turns his head towards the camera.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Works every time.<br />
<br />
''{music starts playing, and Strong Sad pretends to go back into unconciousness. The color of everything darkens, and "end." appears, accompianied by Saddy Dumpington's head.}''<br />
<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
* Click on the rope at the end to see what is really holding it up.<br />
<br />
''{Homsar is upside down at the top of the screen. He has the rope in his mouth.}''<br />

<br />
''{His hat moves in a square off his head and comes back}''<br />
<br />
* Click on Strong Sad's head to see a scene with Bubs at his Concession Stand.<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' ''{on the phone}'' What? No! Of course you can't come here! You need to get out of town, man! Lay low for a while! Yeah, all right, all right, you is my dog too. Now get movin'!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping in from the top of the stand}'' Who was that?<br />

''If the laws of physics are the same in Free Country, USA as they are on the real earth, then the rope is only about 10 feet long.''<br />
<br />
If i dare to reveal my ignorance, can anyone explain/elaborate?<br />
And evidently, the rope is NOT 10 feet long as Strong Sad cannot see Homsar holding it<br />
Then again, since when does physic apply around Homsar?<br />
-[[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]<br />
<br />
* The time it takes a pendulum to swing back and forth is the same regardless of its weight or density. It only depends on the strength of gravity and the length of the pendulum. So since the rope takes about 3.4 seconds to swing back and forth, it should be about ten feet long. But this fact keeps on being deleted, so it's probably not important. -[[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />

May I add something about the realationship with how Puppet Homestar said that he looked like the elephant man on the DVD Puppet Stuff? --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:36, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
does it take two or three times to be mentioned as an inside joke? it depends on that i think--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:38, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
After research i think that the elphant man is obscure enough to be classified as an inside joke...--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:39, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
So, then what should I do? BTW, thanks! lol --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:41, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Linking Up==<br />
I think it would be a good idea to link Saddy Dumpington in the inside references section.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:40, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Saddy Dumpington's already linked at the top under Characters. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 04:42, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Roger. Sorry! I'm just excited to be helping a little bit with the new toon.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:44, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
^^I feel the same way. I'm trying to find something I can do!!! lol --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:45, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Linking to this article==<br />
Should we title the link as Saddy Dumpington (toon), or Saddy Dumpington. I prefer the latter because wherever the link is, people will be able to presue by the text that it is a cartoon.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:48, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Saddy Dumpington is already an article about the character.--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:49, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I know that, but I talking about using the | thing in the link. I've seen it before for toons.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:51, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I vote we should hold off on the desicion until it is on the toons page and then make the visible part of the link say whatever the toons page says.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 05:05, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

Why is this article not called [[The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington]]? That's what's on the title card. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:50, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
: I think the page should be moved as soon as the title appears on the 'Toons page (which it hasn't yet). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:53, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)</div>Emanhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:A_Folky_TaleTalk:A Folky Tale2005-08-23T05:02:58Z<p>Eman: /* Physics */</p>

''If the laws of physics are the same in Free Country, USA as they are on the real earth, then the rope is only about 10 feet long.''<br />
<br />
If i dare to reveal my ignorance, can anyone explain/elaborate?<br />
And evidently, the rope is NOT 10 feet long as Strong Sad cannot see Homsar holding it<br />
Then again, since when does physic apply around Homsar?<br />
-[[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]<br />
<br />
* The time it takes a pendulum to swing back and forth is the same regardless of its weight or density. It only depends on the strength of gravity and the length of the pendulum. So since the rope takes about 3.4 seconds to swing back and forth, it should be about ten feet long. -[[User:Eman|Eman]]<br />

== The mayor and Dancing bros. ==<br />
<br />
Where should we catagorize them? I like the Dancing bros. enough to make a page about them, but the mayor is just a guy.. with ... a job..?--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:20, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I'm am doing the Dancing Brothers, but I don't think an article about the mayor is a good idea. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}} 04:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

<div>== Mustachioed Homestar Runner==<br />
<br />
Well I guess this email answers the question about whether [[Mustachioed Homestar Runner]] was a unique character or not. Now we know that he at least has the same voice as Homestar. And I imagine that this is the first time we can actually see him without having to view the toon from its Flash file directly. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 00:50, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

::Could that be Fabrosi? Strong Bad mentioned that he was probably out lady-ing with a fake mustache. -- 71.34.147.24 20:37, 8 Aug 2005 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Maybe Homestar wrote in using Fabrosi as a pseudonym...<br />
<br />
== Stocks and Stipes Forever ==<br />
Toward the end of the email, Strong Bad says stocks are up and stipes are down. According to dictionary.com, a 'stipe' is "A supporting stalk or stemlike structure, especially the stalk of a pistil, the petiole of a fern frond, or the stalk that supports the cap of a mushroom". It's a bit of an unfamiliar word, I bet, so someone may want to add it to the Fun Facts. Just make sure no one alludes 'stocks' to being like 'stalks'. That's a bit too much of a stretch. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
::I agree. TBC is very good at making such obscure allusions to things that require a bit more knowledge to know about. From the definition it sounds like it correlates perfectly, too. --[[User:64.164.69.221|64.164.69.221]] 10:05, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

:::I have added the definition to Real-world references and changed stocks to stalks. --[User:Eman|Eman]<br />
<br />
== Buisness/Ab-Abber ==<br />
<br />
I don't feel confident to put this on the main page, but is it possible he says "buisness"? And I'm a little surprised no one's tried to note the similarity between his appearance when he says "muscular" and the handiwork of the Ab-Abber 2000 (granted, not identical; he HAS pecs here).--notstrongorbad</div>Emanhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:lady...ingTalk:lady...ing2005-08-09T17:06:47Z<p>Eman: /* Stocks and Stipes Forever */</p>
