:It looks alot like a modified [[:Image:Bauhaus 93.png|Bauhaus]] to me. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 04:59, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

===Figured one out?===

:I think the navbar is just Arial. That's what I'm using in the mirror stylesheets. See [http://hrwiki.org/mirror/jumpinjacks2.html jumpinjacks2.html] for an example.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:45, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I think the Thnikkaman's chorus might be Cooper Black? --[[User:71.244.185.34|71.244.185.34]] 00:40, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I read the new additions after adding the font Alba to the list...which was on one of the books. Anyway the sample of Alba on the book is much better than the example I'd had, so I've changed the entry accordingly. One down, a...lot to go. -- [[User:Xyzzyka|Xyzzyka]] 18:06, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I think I've figured out the Stinko Man K 20X6 font. Playing Starcraft, one avid fan should realize that the font is Eurostar Black Extended. Am I right or am I right? -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 00:23, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:EDIT: Okay, so I tried whatthefont.com, and I came down to these fonts:
*Microgramma EF Medium Extended
*Microgramma Medium Extend
*Aggie URW T Normal
*Microgramma D Medium Extended
*Eurostile T Regular Extended
-[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 00:33, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think the credits from Japanese Cartoon is Times or Times New Roman--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 14:57, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I am certain the font for the chalk on the computer screen is either called Eraser or DS Eraser but I don't know which one is the official name. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]] 05:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

==Links==
This isn't linked to from anywhere, but it's useful information that I don't think is found anywhere else on the wiki, or perhaps I'm mistaken. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

:I have linked it a bit. I like fonts, and this makes a great page, and a great 1,000th article. Continue rocking on! [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]]

== VOY DOT LCD ==

Does anybody know where I can find this font? I've searched the internet for it for about a month now, but haven't found anything. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 18:59, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Thousandth article ==
This is the HR Wiki's 1,000th article. Just letting everybody know.

:<s>Uh, no it's not. We already [[Talk:Game Sightings|determined]] [[Game Sightings]] was the 1,000th article. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)</s>

:Wait, did a few pages get deleted somewhere? I just checked the [[Special:Newpages]] page and it looks like this really is the thousandth article. Wow! I feel strangely honored to have been a part of this. I never imagined we'd reach a thousand articles back when I started the wiki. Good jorb, everyone! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::No, I don't think it has anything to do with deleted pages. The number on the [[Main Page]] doesn't include pages marked as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]], so as pages are marked and un-marked as stubs, the number changes accordingly. [[Game Sightings]] was the first page to be the 1,000th page. [[Fonts]] appears to be the 1,000th page right now, but if someone marked an article as a stub in a few minutes, the page created after [[Fonts]] (which right now is [[do over]]) would appear to be the 1,000th page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

==Font Examples==

Would it be possible to write a little example of each font? I'm not much one for that sort of 'hacking, coding' type thing, so if anyone else wants to tackle it - provided it's possible to do so while still properly [[HRWiki:Validation committee|validated]] and whatnot, go right ahead. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:44, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know where the "hacking, coding" comes in, but why not take a screenshot of each of the fonts as used on the site? — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 18:56, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah right, that could work. I just meant hacking and coding as in 'you can't just change the font on the wiki with a little dropdown bar', at least I don't think you can... I just think it would look cleaner than screenshots. But if it's not possible, I'll get on the screenshots. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:::It's not possible. If you change the font of a bit of text on a web page, it only shows up in that font if the visitor has that font installed. Anyway, if you want it to look "cleaner", I just suggest that you make each screenshot the same dimensions. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 20:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:I've now added previews. However they're not the same size, and they could be presented better. But, at least we have previews for now. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

::And now I've put it all in a table. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 02:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

I think the examples should look more like this:

--[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 19:33, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

:Ugh! The old font samples were ''way'' superior. First, they didn't take up as much space. Second, they provided a better context for the fonts. If someone wants to see all the characters of a font, they should go to Wikipedia or [http://myfonts.com MyFonts.com]. Reverting... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:01, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:<strike>And on a side note, does it not ruin the entire point of the Quick Brown Fox if you Capitalize Every Single Word? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:05, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)</strike>

:: Which, as I can see, is not what happened in the last edit. My bad. I'm actually kinda siding with the big Quick Brown Fox blocks... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:07, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::We don't need to see every character, which only serves to stretch out the table so it doesn't fit on one or one and a half screens. What is better is to see how each font is used on the site in a representative screenshot. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:13, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::: I do see where you're coming from, and I don't care enough to argue the point. But I also see where Trogga and The Paper are coming from. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:16, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::I think the "Quick brown fox" examples are too big. Having screenshots of the fonts in use on H*R.com is better because you can see where its used (even if they are all different sizes). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 07:55, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== External Links ==

Shouldn't there be a link to a spot to download the font? [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

:That would be ideal. However, before doing so make sure that the font is free. This will take some research because a lot of fonts that aren't meant to be free are available illegally on some free font sites, and linking to those is out of the question. In other words, just because a font is on some free font site doesn't mean that it's legal, so be very very careful. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 21:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Additional fonts used on main pages? ==

<s>I've found a few fonts that aren't on this page, but are used somewhere on the [[Homsar Main Page]]. I downloaded the .fla of the main page from one of the [[Links#Fan Sites|fansites]], but when I open it in Flash, it tells me that I do not have the following fonts installed: </s>
Bauhaus-Thin: The menu page buttons (i.e. Toons, Games, Characters, Downloads, Store, and Email). 
Comix Heavy: The little bit in the top right corner of [[HR:newbutton.swf|this]]. (The "LAST UPDATED ON" font.) 
Potrzebie: Already on the font page. 
Stencil BT: The font on the [[Heavy Lourde]]. 
<s>Anyone have any idea where these are used on that main page? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 12:34, 29 May 2005 (BST)</s> 
EDIT: Nevermind, I found them, and where they go. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 07:40, 8 July 2005 (BST)

==Menu Font==
On Tangerine Dreams, the menu font is not quite the same the one on my Mac OS 9, it's slightly different from [http://www.coolstufffordudes.i8.com/os9menu.html this] one. Should I add that? --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 18:08, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:The picture included in the website you linked to appears to be broken. Do you have another example?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:30, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Notice that the article page has been corrected to read "versions '''7''' and before." Apple switched from Chicago to a font called Charcoal for Mac OS versions 8 and 9. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:52, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Charcoal is one of my favortie fonts. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 16:03, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

You can also go [http://www.coolstufffordudes.i8.com/charcoal.html to this page] to see what it looks like. Or you can choose to download it from there aswell. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 16:16, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

My signature is now officially in [http://www.coolstufffordudes.i8.com/Charcoal.ttf CHARCOAL!!!] I aslo have [http://www.coolstufffodudes.i8.com/Chicago.ttf Chicago]. You can link the links to download the two fonts and comapre them if you don't already have them. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 23:39, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== [[Pom Pilot]] Font (From [[the bird]]) ==

Which font is this? Is it already covered as one of the fonts, and if so, which one? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:33, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Wow, been a while since i been here, but yes, the font is called Trebuchet MS --TheDoggy

::I think he's talking about the font on the screen, and that is definitely ''not'' Trebuchet. The font on the screen is pixelated. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:42, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::Exactly. Just pointing out an unknown font. For whatever it's worth. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:48, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Solved. Ladies and gentlemen, Sevenet. [[User:Xyzzyka|Xyzzyka]] 07:10, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Stub==
Why is this page a stub? It looks complete to me. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 15:50, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Because there are a ''lot'' of fonts on the site that we haven't yet added to the table. Just off the top of my head, I can think of the "electricity"-style font used on Awexome Cross, fonts in old toons, and stuff on things like fliers. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:10, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

And don't forget about the Door on [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], or the [[HR:main_nav.swf|NavBar]], and [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]], or the ones on the buttons from [[Main Page 22]], and the [[Toons Menu]], and the "TeeBee" logo on the Homestar's TV, or the subtitles in [[The Isle of Pom]], and maybe even the Stinkoman K 20X6 logo, and "[[Thnikkaman]]'s offscreen chorus, ooh, and don't forget the Highlights FAQ... (man I could go on for ''days'' thinking about the numbers of fonts on the site) — {{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 01:16, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Or, you can talk about it at [[Talk:Storybook Characters]], but be sure to alert him to the discussion. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:59, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Edits ==

Okay, I agree with you on [[sibbie]], and I reverted it to your version... I don't know why Invisible Robot Fish kept changing that back. On [[stunt double]], however, ''you yourself'' wrote the wording that I like, back on September 5. I must therefore assume it was okay with you then. And at the time, I agreed with your edit, which established a good compromise. So please stop revisiting it now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:I saw so many junk edits where he was just deleting and changing stuff that has been fine for months. I agree, that one that you reverted was a bad fact. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:59, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
::Well, in [[stunt double]], I just copied the wording from [[Unnamed Bad Guy]] as a placeholder; I wanted the wording to be to be similar, if not the same. Understand? --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 02:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
:::And it ''is'' the same. So there's no real reason to mess with it. Right? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:52, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
::::No, it's not. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=stunt_double&diff=178828&oldid=178824 Compare.] --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 02:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Okay, that's the same wording as on Unnamed Bad Guy. What are you trying to say? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Faro1: /* ''Gamers Daily Podcast'' */

Homestar Runner has had features and references on the radio. Here's proof!

=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th, 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character video on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part at which Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a high-five, but I see that I'm already here."
*It seems that The Rock are frequent users of Homestar Runner quotes, around once a week or so you can hear one pop up.

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 FM (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), the DJ, Stash, told listeners to visit the radio's website "...at q98.net, it's dot com." This is a reference to the [[First Time Here?]] cartoon, in which Homestar says, "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!" They also played a sound clip from Strong Bad's character page cartoon, were Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives!"

=== ''NPR on Strong Bad and H*R'' ===
NPR's All Things Considered program on May 8, 2005 discussed the H*R site, ran down some of the characters, and featured a short interview with The Brothers Chaps. Also shown at [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4634837 this site].

=== ''102 The Mountain'' ===
In mid July, The Mountain featured a short sound byte from [[radio]].

=== ''CD 101'' ===
CD 101 (101.1 FM Columbus, OH) has clips from the e-mail [[radio]] in some of the bumps they use before playing songs.

=== ''Podtacular Halo 2 Podcast'' ===
The co-host "spelchek" does some Homestar and Strong Bad impressions during show 11 [[http://podtacular.blogspot.com/2005/10/episode-11-backwash-n-b-rs.html|which is attainible here.]]
Suprisingly his impressions did not dissapoint.

=== ''The Ron and Fez Show'' ===
[[Wikipedia:Ron Bennington|Ron Bennington]] and [[Wikipedia:Fez Whatley|Fez Whatley]] of XM Satellite Radio have stated publicly that they are huge fans of homestarrunner.com. They end each of their shows with an audio drop from [[the facts]] of Homestar Runner saying "And that's the end of my show, donk." On another occasion, when discussing crying at the movies, they discussed [[crying]]. Ron Bennington said that seeing [[Li'l Brudder]] made him cry and repeatedly said "He's got the heart of a champion."

===Radio U ===
Radio U (88.7 FM in Columbus, OH) has interviewed Strong Bad and the Brothers Chaps on two occasions, accesible at the bottom of [[http://tvulive.com/radiou/riot2.htm this page]]

=== ''The Chris Moyles Show'' ===
On 5 May 2005, [[Wikipedia:Chris Moyles|Chris Moyles]] of [[Wikipedia:BBC Radio 1|BBC Radio 1]] fame was discussing the final episode of the UK version of [[Wikipedia:The Apprentice (UK)|''The Apprentice'']] with his colleagues. When he mentioned that it was "in the [news]paper", he added, "No, it's not a paper that comes down from the sky, and we watch the show on it!" This perfectly fits the description of [[The Paper]].

Talk:Teen Girl Squad Issue 10

Faro1:

==TGS Issue Picture==
Which picture should we use? [[Image:Mightywarrior.PNG|thumb|"Mightywarrior.PNG"]][[Image:TeenGirlSquad10.PNG|thumb|"TeenGirlSquad10.PNG"]]

Number one (the warrior) id say. its somthing difffernt
:The lower one definitely. It shows the theme of the episode better. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Stan! ==

In the hidden easter egg where The ugly one's dad is advertising, the way he is waving his arms around is a striking resemblence to Stan from the Monkey Island Games. Would this be a fun fact?

Easter Egg? If this exists why isn't it listed? --[[User:Mrdude|jake]] 15:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== New Software ==

I think the reason for the new animation is TBC got some new animation software and they wanted to test it out. [[User:DaChazman|DaChazman]]

It's all done with Flash. If it were done with Flash 8 (the new one) we'd know. [[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 16:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Besides, with simple characters like that, you can do that with a few masks and shape tweens. {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 21:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I know there's some software that can export 3D animation to flash. It's called [http://www.erain.com Swift 3D]. However, I dont know if TBC are using it. -[[User:Jesselangham|Jesselangham]]

:They're not. There's nothing fancy with the rotation that they haven't done before, eg in [[funny]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:51, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== 3-D? I don't even know what that is! ==

I move that all instances of the word 3-D be replaced with the word 3D. Who's with me, eh? [[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 16:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Can somebody who knows something about 3D software confirm that the "We got a spinner" gag is a reference to the bizarre glitches that such software sometimes create (elements moving by themselves in weird ways)? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:I found it to be a reference to CGI animation glitches like the ones shown under special features of Pixar movies.---[[User:RatherAnnoying|RatherAnnoying]] 19:29, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I was thinking of; like the monster's hair in Monsters Inc. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

: You're wrong, BTW. [[Wikipedia:3D|3D]] is an auto-redirect to [[Wikipedia:3-D|3-D]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:50, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

:And m-w.com doesn't recognize [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=3d&book=Dictionary 3D], only 3-D. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

==Inside references==
In the party sequence, I know all the TGS inside references are listed in the cast of characters at the beginning, but is there any other appropriate way to mention it elsewhere? Say, an inside reference that simply says "See the Cast of Characters?" Also, can someone confirm my suspicion that this contains ''every'' TGS character seen to date (even a reference to Brett!), and that it's the first TGS to include a shot of the "real world," or of regular H*R characters other than Strong Bad? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:I'm not sure about your first question, but I can answer your second and third ones:
*2: No, it does not contain every TGS character to date. For example, the Floor Tom and the Vulture/Bat don't appear. See the Minor TGS Characters page for a bunch of characters that fail to appear.
*3: Yes and no. It is the first episode to show the "real world", but [[Pom Pom]] appears in episode #8.
:Hope that helps. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::This ''is'', however, the first TGS to show any character--including Strong Bad--outside of the comic's world. Pom Pom in issue 8 was still a drawing, as was Strong Bad's cameo appearances in issues 1, 8, and 9. This is the first time a TGS episode has had not-drawings in it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::The Vultures do appear. See the bottom left corner of the scene where Manolios is introducing The Ugly One. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 19:55, 10 October 2005 (BST)
::::Sorry, I meant the Vulture from issue #2. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:58, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Vowels ==
Vowels are A-E-I-O-U "Y" is not a vowel :p
:Sometimes it is. It's being used as a vowel in this case. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::From the Wikipedia: "In the standard English language, the letter [[Wikipedia:Y|Y]] is traditionally regarded as a consonant, but as a survey of almost any English text, including this one, will show, Y more commonly functions as a vowel." So our anonymous friend is right. Y is not a vowel. And sign your posts.{{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

::Also from Wikipedia: The name "vowel" is often used for the symbols used for representing vowel sounds in a language's writing system, particularly if the language uses an alphabet. In the Latin alphabet, the vowel letters are usually A, E, I, O, U, and in some languages Y, as in English. -- [[User:Mycroft.holmes|Mycroft.holmes]] 19:50, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh yeah, because an entirely user-edited encyclopaedia can NEVER contradict itself. Why don't we go with the majority and accept that Y is NOT a vowel?
::::[http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefEdList.aspx?refid=210026329 Encarta] seems to agree as well. After all, the way most schools teach vowels is A-E-I-O-U and SOMETIMES Y. In "sorry," Y is a vowel, as it is nearly impossible to construct a meaningful syllable without a vowel. Does "syzygy" also have no vowels in it? No. ... Okay, I rambled. Sorry. But Y is a vowel in this case. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 20:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:::: Because it is. The word "vowel" denotes how the letter is used, not what the letter is. As it happens, Y isn't the only "consonant" that can be used as a vowel (W is common, and G and H show up often too.) It's just that the five letters most commonly called "vowels" are the ones NEVER used as consonants. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

"Vowel" and "consonant" are phonetic distinctions, not letter distinctions. "We're sorry" is pronounced ([[Wikipedia:IPA chart for English|IPA]]) /wi:r sɒˈri:/ - both /i/s and the /ɒ/ are the vowels. It is simply that the large majority of vowel sounds are represented in English with A-E-I-O-U which is why they're called the 5 vowels. So we then have 2 definitions of "vowel" - a vowel ''phoneme'' (which is relevant for the "there's at least one vowel in every syllable" rule) or a vowel ''letter'' (strictly A-E-I-O-U, possibly Y depending on who you ask). The confusion only comes when you get the two confused - for example a syllable does not require A-E-I-O-U(-Y), just a vowel phoneme. Getting back to the point, it's impossible to pronounce words completely without vowel phonemes, /ə/ slips in everywhere (/wər sər/ is as far as you can take "we're sorry"). "Removing all the vowels" only makes sense from a vowel letter view, in which case Y only applies if whoever it is wants it to. And now I'm rambling a bit, so I'll stop. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

==The other side of the paper==
When the paper saying "Its over" in on screen, you can see the other side of the paper, which is the image of Strong Bad making out with the Ugly One. I dont know if you can see it on a regular screen, but I can only see it on my Laptop, if I makes the screen darker. - Lord-Z
: I see it too. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, and this has already been noted in the transcript. It's been covered just for you ;){{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 21:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== References ==
When the Ugly One's father presents her to the party, I am pretty sure that that is a reference to the MTV show, My Super Sweet Sixteen. Am I correct? --[[User:ItalianBallerina|ItalianBallerina]]

No, this is just a common practice at sweet sixteens. —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 20:50, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Breakin? ==
When Strong Bad says "Arrow'd II: Electric- wait a minute!", it seems to be a reference to "Breakin II: Electric Boogaloo", a movie which has been mentioned on the site before. [[User:TheSyndicate88|TheSyndicate88]]
:Check the fun facts, dude. It's already in there. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

== Olympic Coach's Voice? ==

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Olympic coach is the only TGS character not voiced by Strong Bad. If so, do you think that's a worthy fun fact? [[User:SA2Tails|SA2Tails]] 21:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:What about Mr. Pitters?

:Also the vultures as they are eating Mr. Pitters do not have a Strong Bad-type voice. Maybe Fatty's Big Chance as well. The voice is grainy and rough, but not as much as the other characters. --[[User:Gillan The Villain|Gillan The Villain]] 22:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

==Has 3D Been Used Before?==
I think 3D was used before. On [[The Luau]], the tofu seems to be spinning in 3D. -[[User:Lotionman|Lotionman]] 23:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)Lotionman
:I think what has everybody so excited is that in this one the ''camera'' moved in 3D. Though I'm not sure it took anything more than plain ol' Flash to do that. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:Don't forget the opening to [[The Interview]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Pictures from the Party ==

I made an image of the pan across the party, showing the minor characters appearing in attendance. It'd make a nice picture for somewhere, I think. (I had the idea of making it just a link, not an actual picture, and putting it in the issue 10 article somewhere. [[Duck Guardian One]] has an example of this in the Trivia section.) One thing though: the picture is roughly four or five times bigger in file size than what's normally recommended to upload. So I thought I'd tell people before acting, just in case. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Pwn ==
Is pwn a reference to [http://www.purepwnage.com/ Pure Pwnage]? Because thats basically the only other place I've heard it. - [[User:Faro1|Faro1]]
