== Transcript ==<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Here I go once again with the email! Every week I hope that it's from a female! ''{opens email, stops singing}'' Oh man! Not from a female. <br />
<br />
''{reading email}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Can you draw a dragon? I want to see<br /><br />
your skills of an artist.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
well, g2g,<br /><br />
kaizer<br /><br />
CA</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{after "artist" Strong Bad says "okay"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A dragon? That's easy! Feel free to follow along with my simple step-by-step instructions. I make drawing FUN!!<br />
<br />
''{Cuts to a scene of a piece of paper on a table. You can see only Strong Bad's right boxing glove, and he is holding a pencil. Simple music starts playing.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' To begin, draw an S ''{draws an S on the paper.}'' for snake. Or dragon. Er, whatever. Next, we'll draw a more different S. ''{draws another S connected to the other}'' For the head, put a top mark on a long V. ''{draws a triangle on top of the S}'' Then you add some legs... ''{draws two beefy legs}'' draw on a couple of arms... and ''{draws two beefy arms, eyes, spikes, teeth and angry eyebrows.}'' Whoa. ...Wait a minute. {music stops with a record scratch} I think I need to start over. Thing doesn't look natural. ''{draws a speech bubble coming from the dragon that says 'The S is for sucks,' and pulls up a clean sheet of paper.}'' Okay, so starting again, the same way. S, more different S. {Music starts again} Close it up real good at the top for his head ''{makes an attached, open-mouth head}'', and then, using consummate V's, give him teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows. ''{draws all of what he mentioned, plus stick legs.}'' Then, you can add smoke or fire ''{draws both coming from the dragon's mouth}'', or maybe some wings, if he's a...wing-a-ling dragon. ''{Draws two wings on the dragon's back.}'' Let's put one of those beefy arms back on for good measure. ''{draws a single beefy arm on the back of the dragon}'' That looks really good. Comin' out of the back of his neck, there. Now he needs a name. How about ''Trogdor the Burninator''. ''{writes it below the dragon}'' Oh yeah. Check out all his majesty. ''{draws rays of majesty coming from the dragon}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Compy 386.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there's my dragon, kaizer. {music stops} Let's see how the other students are doing.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to scene in a big room with several tables. Strong Bad approaches Coach Z, who is drawing with chalk on a small slate.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! What do you got for me, Coach Z?<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Take a look there! ''{zoom in a squiggly drawing that resembles a snake}'' I think she's lookin' pretty good!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I said consummate V's! CONSUMMATE!!! Geez. ''{walking away}'' Guy wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' That happened one time!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Mad. He is using an X-Acto Knife to carve the word 'DAGRON' into the table.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad. You just, keep doing your thing, man.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Sad, who has drawn a masterpiece.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh crap! I didn't know ''you'' were doing one.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, sure. I think I've improved on your methods a bit, too. ''{zoom in on his picture}'' I employed some chiaroscuro shading, and...<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll improve on your methods!!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad takes out his [[BMW lighter]] and sets Strong Sad's picture aflame. It quickly disintegrates with hardly a trace.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' What? That's not an improvement!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' WA HA HA HA!! Trogdor strikes again!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to black and white pencil-drawn scene of Trogdor. Rock music is playing in the background.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screaming}'' TROGDOR!!! TROGDOR!!! ''{singing}'' Trogdor was a man! I mean, he was a dragon-man! Or, maybe he was just a dragon. Um... But he was still TROGDOR!!!! TROGDOR!!!! Burninating the countryside! Burninating the peasants! Burninating all the people! In their thatched roof COTTAGES!!! THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Compy 386.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!<br />
<br />
''{[[The Paper]] comes down}''<br />
<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
*Click on the "R" in the "DAGRON" Strong Mad is carving to see Homsar's attempt at drawing a dragon.<br />
:''{Strong Bad walks up to Homsar, who has written "TASTER'S CHOICE" on a piece of paper and taped it to the table}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of my house! ''{walks away}''<br />
:'''HOMSAR:''' ''{Sadly}'' I do what I'm told...<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The Brothers Chaps say this email took the longest to make in an interview with Kevin Scott.<br />
*Strong Bad writes it "TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR" because the font that the Brothers Chaps used doesn't have a capital "I."<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*As noted in the DVD commentary ''(see below)'', Coach Z's drawing faces a different direction in the close-up from the previous scene.<br />
*When Strong Bad is drawing Trogdor's majesty, for a moment we can see that Strong Bad's arm is floating unattached to anything.<br />
*When Strong Bad types "Let's see how the others are doing", he leaves out the word "see."<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*"And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHT!!!!!!!" is a reference to the email [[guitar]], where Strong Bad says a similar phrase.<br />
*Homsar having a roll of masking tape next to him is a reference to the [[Strong Sad's Lament|Strong Sad Blog]], where he is "holding" a roll of tape in the background of his e-vite.<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*Homsar's "drawing" says Taster's Choice, a popular coffee from Nescafe.<br />
*"Kaiser" is the ultimate dragon form of the hero in the Breath of Fire series of video games. Since TBC have stated that all of the emails except [[mile]] are authentic, this is either a coincidence, or the email writer was a fan of this series.<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Chiaroscuro|Chiaroscuro]] is a [http://www2.evansville.edu/studiochalkboard/s-chiaro.html method] for creating the illusion of a three-dimensional solid form in a two-dimensional piece of artwork through the use of contrasting areas of light and dark. Literally "lightdark" in Italian.<br />
<br />
== DVD Version ==<br />
*The Homsar Easter egg is automatically enabled, no clicking required.<br />
*This email also features hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br />
<br />
=== Commentary Transcript ===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This is one of the least popular emails we've ever done.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. Everyone hates it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This one, uh, really took a long time, and I remember, like, not—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, you wanted to abandon it. Like, we were three-quarters of the way done—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This is one—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' —and you wanted to start over.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' It was... we just—it's very long, and I felt—I dunno. When you're in the middle of it, sometimes it's hard to tell.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I wonder, though, if we had just, let's say we cut out the whole Trogdor metal thing at the end, if people would, like, if it's Trogdor, just this dr—bad drawing of a dragon or if it's the metal and the like drawings<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I think it's th—mostly the metal.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' That's what I'm sayin'.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' So it'd be funny if we hadn't done that at the end or if we'd made it an Easter egg even, so less people saw it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So this is, uh, we learned to draw the Ed Emberly way.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And later the Marvel Comics way.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's true. Um... ''{pause}''<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' That thing is unholy. ''{Mike starts laughing again}'' True. It's horrible. We always find ourselves humming this song that's in the background.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Doo doo doot doot, see I'm doing it again.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Uh, what is a tincidence[1]! What is a tincidence, Mike?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Um... uh so yeah, the- this email, we're, it went up late Monday at probably, like, 4 or 5 o'clock on Monday we were pretty much done with the whole email and Matt started singing the Trogdor song in this squealy—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{in squealy voice}'' Trogdor!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' —in the squealy voice and so then we sort of knew we had to make the Trogdor metal song and then when we made the Trogdor metal song we had to make all the...fancy-shaded Tro—uh, Trogdor drawings for the video.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And then didn't Trogdor, the name Trogdor the Burn—I think it was just, like, we decided he had to name him and just, like, it just came out, like, there was no deciding.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, overlapping}'' Yeah, you just came up with it. There was no, like thought—yeah, right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' The drawing of Trogdor took a while. Took some...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. And if you watch there, his thing flips.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' What happened?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Coach Z's drawing—well there, his head's on the left, but in the closeup the head's on the right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Ohhhh<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I mean, Coach Z's left, and Coach Z's right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Right. Dagron.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Dagron. He's misspelled the word "dragon." There's everybody's favorite. He's correctly spelled the words "Taster's Choice."<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs a little, then a pause}'' That's a good drawing, Mike. We still have those.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yep.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' There's the BMW—the, the ever-present BMW lighter. Didn't we say we had some, some people we met that said they tried really hard to find one.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And they don't exist in real life, so we apologize.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Ohh, I don't know how these drawings are going to look on your TV screen.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' All made big like this. They might look kind of pixelly and gross, but...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I'm, uh, I don't regret it, though, if they look pixelly and gross.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' No, we did that on purpose!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs a little}'' Yes.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You can see in the smoke of the flaming peasant's head, it just kind of—there's a straight line at the top of the smoke. It just kind of stops and that's from the edge of the page. It's just—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Oh really?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. You can't see it—yeah, you can see just how it stops<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh there we go, I see.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And so, of course, later this all became Peasant's Quest fodder<br />
<br />
=== Fun Facts ===<br />
*Ed Emberly is the author of several "how to draw" books for children.<br />
*"How to Draw the Marvel Comics Way" is one of a series of many, many books detailing how you too can learn to draw in the style of your favorite comic artists.<br />

<div><!-- Don't use a TOC until we find out how to keep out subsubsections -->__NOTOC__<br />
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;"><br />
Shortcut:<br />[[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br />
<br />
Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br />
<br />
Check out [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive|The Archives]] and the [[HRWiki:over STUFF'd|over STUFF'd page]] for old fun facts that have moved on from this page.<br />
<br />
Things that always make good fun facts:<br />
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br />
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Ronald McDonald is the clown mascot of McDonald's, for instance)<br />
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")<br />
<br />
Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br />
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''...")<br />
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br />
* Things already noted in the transcript<br />
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br />
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")<br />
<br />
Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br />
<br />
When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br />
<br />
If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br />
<br />
If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is very long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.<br />
[[Category:HRWiki Maintenance]]<br />
== Voting ==<br />
New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br />
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br />
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br />
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br />
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely. Please keep in mind not everything is on this page simply to be Declined.<br />
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)<br />
<br />
The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br />
<br />
'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. <br />
<br />
You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.<br />
<br />
== To be done ==<br />
<br />
* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br />
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br />
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br />
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.<br />

**'''Comment.''' This "goof" was a remark in the first place. The only reason it's being declined is because whomever STUFF'd it claimed that it was listed as a goof. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 06:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

====Definitely not the hat, though====<br />
One of Strong Bad's three letter words, "fez", is a refference to the charecter Fez from That '70s Show.<br />

'''VERDICT:''' This fact was rejected. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:boring (really)]] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:04, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
====&#171;Insert hilarious joke here&#187;====<br />
The way Strong Bad pronounces the phrase "Her" (here) is similar to the way that rap artist Nelly pronounces the word in the song "Hot in Herre", and is possibly a reference to such.<br />
<br />
* '''Decline''' The word "her" isn't even in the song "Hot in Herre" (google for lyrics). So, at best this "fact" is that SB pronounces the word "Her" the same way Nelly pronounces the word "Herre". Which is about as likely to be a reference as it is to the fact that SB pronounces it similar to the way my roommate pronounces the word "her". --[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 09:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

====You said doyng again!====<br />
Strong Bad's hesitation before saying "doing" to Homestar is a reference to Homestar's commentary on the word in [[car]].<br />
*'''Accept!''' Cute fun fact. I've always liked that "doing" thing.--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 20:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
** Maybe it's cute, and maybe you liked the "doing" thing&mdash;but does that make it a reference? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:16, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
*'''Accept.''' This got deleted, but I think it's a valid reference. As soon as Strong Bad said "what are you..." I immediately thought "you said doyng again!"

*'''Decline.''' When Strong Bad hesitated ("What are you, ummm..."), I leaned forward with anticipation to see if he would say "doing" or "doyng", and what Homestar's response would be. I decline this because it isn't a reference; Strong Bad just hesitated because he was bored... and thats what... bored people... do. Now if Homestar said something about "doyng" in response, I would have accepted this. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

*'''Decline''' Yeah, and Homestar hesitates before saying "closing," which is OBVIOUSLY a reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], when the door closes after you give each treat. Come on, this is a coincidence. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
*'''Decline''' I don't think its even a coincidence because there is no connection to this and Car other than the word "doing". At any rate this e-mail contains alot of awkward pauses so yeah, I doubt any of them were meant to be references. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]<br />
*'''Accept''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:06, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

*'''Accept'D''' Mmm-hmm. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 03:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
*'''Accept''' - it's not just a simple pause. Strong Bad grabs his head like he's reconsidering saying it because of the potential horrible consequences. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 05:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
*'''Accept!''' - That's what I thought of when I saw it. Besides, that pause is large, even compared to the rest... of... the... e-mail... -- [[User:Super Sam|Super Sam]] 11:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
*It's not THAT large, and the "grabs his head" doesn't really mean much - Strong Bad does that a lot. Maybe he's just scratching his head because he doesn't know what Homestar is doing. If the word "doyng" had actually been heard from either party, this reference would be clear, but it didn't. "Doing" is just a word, and a pause is sometimes just a pause. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
**'''Comment''': It wasn't ''just'' a pause. He said, "What are you... '''um'''... doing..."<br />
*** Still doesn't mean anything. Homestar used to put "um" before every third word regardless of context. This is nothing more than simple speculation. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

====Oops, I STUFF'd it!====<br />

===[[old comics]]===<br />
====Domenico da Comma! Live at Woodstock!!====<br />
"Discoveration of Comma" may be a reference to the urban legend of Domenico da Comma, the supposed inventor of the comma.

====The king eats deodorant...but what does he reference?====<br />
<br />
The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to "Secret" brand deodorant ads, whose slogan used to be "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." It's also a reference to Imperial Margarine adverts from the 1970's, wherein the slogan was "Imperial Margarine...with flavour fit for a King!".<br />

**What "could be"? This is a solid IS fact, and I worded it as such in my vote. BTW, the only reason this got STUFFED was because I put it on the page, it got deleted, someone else put the rewrite on the page, it got deleted, and this was my comprimise.

**Okay then, name one time before Garage Sale where TBC said lurk and not in reference to Strong Sad. And the above votes are right: Lurk as used in the egg doesn't make any sense.

====Frolic or Bet?====<br />
When Senor Cardgage says "------ around the campfire, children", you can't tell if he's saying "gambol", which means frolicking or playing, or "gamble", which means betting (obviously). I'm leaning more toward "gambol", but please, tell me what you think. The transcript says "gamble", but I think "gambol" is more Senor Cardgage.<br />
<br />
How bout phrasing this in a way so that deleting and accepting is possible? My suggestion:<br />
<br />
"Senor Cardgage: Gambol around the campfire, children"<br />
<br />
*'''Accept'''. I think gambol makes more cardgage sense, as he often uses antiquated words in weird context. Gamble is just random. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:21, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
**'''Second''' {{User:phlip/sig}} 02:50, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
**Oh, right. All of SC's malaprops are "antiquated" words that aren't just random. Like "left" ("left name"), "lawn" ("home lawn"), "cancel" (part of "free canceltation"), "denominator/wintergreen" (two options for what Cardgage can call himself in [[kind of cool]] - these are so random, I have no idea WHAT he's really trying to say!), and maybe some others I missed. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:57, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
* Cardgage uses words that don't have specific meanings. So I don't think this should be an issue of definition, but rather enunciation. And it sounds to me like he is pronouncing it with an "ol". So '''accept''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]<br />
** Editing previous vote due to misreading: There is ''no difference'' between the proper pronunciations of "gamble" and "gambol" and it doesn't sounds to me like Cardgage is messing with the pronunciation to encourage one word over the other. So pronunciation isn't the clue we need. Neither is really the obvious word ("gather") and both are verbs so meaning is out. Only difference between the two words left is spelling - and "gamble" is by far the more common word. So I vote '''Gamble.''' But as long as it doesn't keep getting shifted back and forth and back and forth, I won't care too much. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:49, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
*To quote the KOC transcript: "I'd say some cool phrase that's almost one word and not quite another." To me, it sounds like he is pronouncing it like "gambowl". [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]<br />
*'''Three things here:''' First, this isn't a fun fact; it doesn't belong on this page. This discussion should be moved to the relevant [[Talk:Senorial Day|talk page]].

Third, I think it's "gamble". &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

**Hmmmm. I *did* read the link before I posted it. It shows that the use of the "555" in the toon is a reference to (or a similar usage of) the "555" used in movies and television. Whether it's a "tradition" may be in question, that fact that it's a reference (or perhaps an explanantion) is not. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

<div>== Hello, and welcome to the Homestar Runner Wiki. (It's dot org!) ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to the best place to learn everything about the cartoons (and just about anything else) on [[HR:|HomestarRunner.com]]. <br />
<br />
"What is [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]]?" you ask? Well, if you don't know who [[Homestar Runner]] or [[Strong Bad]] are, then this place might be a little overwhelming for you. Feel free to look around and discover all the characters and toons, but if you want to understand what we're talking about, you really need to head over to [[HR:|the official Homestar Runner site]] and start watching the toons. A good place to start is the [[HR:firsttime.html|First Time Here?]] page or the [[HR:sbemail.html|Strong Bad Emails]]. A lot of the [[Inside Jokes]] come from there.<br />
<br />
What's a wiki, you ask? Well, a wiki is a site where anybody&mdash;not just webmasters or members&mdash;can edit any page. Wikis are best used for collaborative knowledge-base type documents. For instance, one of the most successful wikis is [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]].<br />
<br />
What this means is that you could be an important author on the Homestar Runner Wiki, or you could be just a small [[HRWiki:Wiki Gnome|Wiki Gnome]]. Know about some Easter Eggs that might interest other users? Wanna' help us transcribe every [[Toons|toon]] created by [[The Brothers Chaps]]? Go ahead! If you ever need to find something, use the search bar. It should help you find what you're looking for. If you know the exact page title of the thing you are looking for, click "Go" instead of "Search" to go directly to that page.<br />
<br />
If you decide to stick around, use the [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] link at the top of this page to set up a username. To edit a page, click the "edit" link at the top of any page. Please be polite, and briefly describe any changes you make in the "Summary" text field on the edit page. Your "Summary" comments will appear on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page. If you wish to contribute your Homestar Runner fan-fiction or other self-creations, visit the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki]]. The only page you can edit however you wish is your [[HRWiki:User page|User Page]], which you will receive when you [[Special:Userlogin|log in]].<br />
<br />
If you ever have questions about the wiki, feel free to type them up [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|here]]. A knowledgeable person will most likely provide you with an answer within a few minutes. <br />
This wiki is absolutely free, no money is ever paid unless one wants to donate for web hosting, but nothing is required.<br />
<br />
== Wiki etiquette ==<br />
If you're still unsure of how stuff works around here, you may want to check out the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents MediaWiki User's Guide]. There you will learn how to make '''bold''', ''italics'', and other wiki stuff. Out of courtesy, you really shouldn't edit pages unless you are adding something meaningful (fixing grammar and spelling mistakes is okay). You also shouldn't delete pages unless you have an extremely good reason. If you want to play around and get a feel for editing pages, please do so in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. If you want to get a good grasp of how the pages here are put together, be sure to read about our [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] for pages.<br />
<br />
Wikipedia has a great "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Wikiquette|Wikiquette]]" section. It covers a lot of information about what is accepted and what is not accepted on a wiki. There are really no rules, but there is a definite level of etiquette involved. Some of the suggestions offered are only relevant to Wikipedia, but many of them apply to any wiki. Anyone interested in being a valuable contributor to any wiki should read it.<br />
<br />
== A Warning ==<br />
Above all, '''never''' use obscene or otherwise defamatory language, and never deface the documents our community has worked hard to create. Remember&#8212;there are people younger than you here at the wiki, and they may not like obscene language, and therefore ''no'' swearing will be tolerated. Also, note that the wiki gives everyone the ability to revert documents back to their original state. Therefore, no one can permanently harm the wiki by deleting pages. All an offender will accomplish is to slightly annoy our wiki community. After repeated defacings our administrators will permanently block the offender's IP address. If defamatory language is seen it will be changed or deleted, and it's possible the user may be blocked for using it.<br />

<div>''Hi, I'm Iml91 and this is a line of text.''<br />
<br />
...Okay, not the best intro. I'm new to the whole wiki (weird word, I could make a tribal song out of it) thing, and I'm not on that much, so here's a big '''"Hello to everybody!"''' because I might just forget about the website and all of you people I don't know.<br />
<br />
So... bye.<br />
