LittleWonderFish: added fact

Greetings, one and everyone! Welcome to meeee. Littlllle. WonderrrrFiiiish. LittleWonderFish.
 
Hey, I'm getting okay at HTML! Finally! I'm a girl who bears a strikng resemblance to What's Her Face from TGS (the dark hair, un"popular"ity, way of attracting the romantic interest of annoying boys, often the baggy pants, the strange friends, magnetic forcefield with built-in possum attractor...oh wait, never mind). But also So and So's imaginary friends and unbelievably chipper outlook on life. I am nothing like Cheerleader. No. Basically, I'm a dork who has a good time making fun of anyone who is mean to me (so watch yout backs, hecklers). Oh, and I have wicked crane machine skills.

*I've been following homestarrunner.com for eight million years (give or take). My brother showed me and my OTHER brother the site when I was, say...seven? Eight? Nine? Well, a little person. I admit I was expecting the site to have a kid on a skateboard on the main page. Huh.
*As you have obviously noticed, my username is LittleWonderFish. That's basically 'cause I like swimming, and Lake Erie happens to be one of my top 20 places in the universe. Not other lakes though. At my camp, we have a lake that we HAVE to take BORING and UNINFORMATIVE and NO-WORKY swim lessons in in the cold water first thing in the morning. After two years of this I have learned absolutely nothing. Hey, be glad, hecklers: the original idea was LadyWonderSquid.
*If, when frequenting the internettzorz, you see someone with the username LittleWonderFish, TheWarnerSister, DmitraBlue, or The1928Girl, chances are that's me.
*I love Marzipan (a snarky hippie with a considerable resistance to death...like me!), Bubs (he's one shady, shady character), Strong Bad (he still has not answered my email, though), and Strong Sad (look how cute he is. Awwwww).
*I am just a smidge too creative for my own good. I make my own earrings, knit, write, draw cartoons, and will someday be either the treasured gem at a greeting card company, or a cartoonist who makes very little money but makes people smile. At present however, I have absolutely no clue what to do for my Girl Scout project, and I'm pretty sure The Effects of Gasoline on Fire is not going to get me the Silver Award.
*Basically what I do around here is do little nitpicky detaily things to existing articles. I've seen literally every toon on the site and will make little corrections that annoy the heck out of you. I'm sorry, folks, just doing my job as a kid with too much free time and a crazy-good memory.
*Never say or type the phrase "16 cents" around me. I will make a loud gasp-squeak kind of sound and then repeat "16 CENTS?!!!" over and over. Sorry, it's about something I learned in history class and it has to do with monopolists and talk shows. Don't ask.
*I can speak Homsar! If I met him on the street, I'd say "Why's down, Father Christmas? I'm the large flan at your flailed sense factory."
 
==Top Ten Randomsillyjunk!!!==
'''Quotes (in no particular order)'''
 
*14. "''Judith'' is making me get a job at ''Shirt Folding Store''."
*13. "Oh is that your liver? Well here's my fist!"
*12. "Do you see me as a one-legged puppy?"
*11. "The eagle is in the pantry!"
*10. "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date."
*9. "My brothers are GALACTICALLY INCAPABLE of friend-have."
*8. "Are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?"
*7. "Well, lucky for you, I got this previously owned box of chick'n beaks in just now! Like, right JUST NOW!"
*6. "Coach Z, are you accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman?"
*5. "Stay outta my or-fice!" "EW! Please never say that again!"
*4. "Positate without pizzaz and jam!"
*3. "No way, Dog. No way, Bubs. My face doesn't know the meaning of unrecognizable clump!"
*2. "You see, Strong Bad? What the the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has his face and head."
*1. "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior...!"

What the crap? That was fourteen! Eh. Whatever.
 
'''Shady Things Bubs has Done'''
*10. Burnt Exhibit A.
*9. Told Homestar he had no pancreas.
*8. Ran the Black market behind the Conscession Stand.
*7. Become an unlicsensed unlicsensed seller.
*6. Given one flavor of donut over a hundred names.
*5. Given Homestar questionable medical coverage.
*4. Tried to sell Exhibit B.
*3. Ended up in federal prison, then got time off for snitchy behavior.
*2. Shown the world just how terrifying he is when he's angry.
*1. Hung out with COACH Z!!!!! (cowers)
And despite it all, he still looks squishy and huggable. And he can dance!
 
'''Awesome Stuff Marzipan Has Done'''
*10. Stopped Coach Z from freestyling about his teeth.
*9. Worn combat boots AND a purple dressthing.
*8. Hit Strong Bad on the head with Carol.
*7. Written a peaceful protest song about wind and exploding heads.
*6. Drowned in the abyss and lived to say a serene outgoing answering machine message about it.
*5. Started a band because her boyfriend graffiti'd her wall.
*4. Entered Homestar in a pet show.
*3. Made her eyelashes visible/invisible at will.
*2. Survived a possible wolf attack...
*1. ...while glued to Homsar.

==Strong Bad Email Ideas?==
These are just some silly carp (yeah, you read that right) that I think should TOTALLY be in a SBemail.
 
* Truth or Dare! (actually sent this email)
* What were your childhood pets?
* Have you ever made greeting cards?
 
==100 Grand Finale==
 
Last thoughts. The most fabulosified things in the HR universe. The 100 is there just because...well, I like the candy bar. Got a problem?
 
*Dangeresque. Particularly the SBCG4AP episode. "LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUUUUMP!"
*All of SBCG4AP. Particularly episodes 3 and 4. 5's ending was disappointing, but it was a great premise, and 1 and 2 were just getting warmed up. Second season, pleeeease!
*Lowercase i's.
*That song "The Cheat is Not Dead". When I was little I used to be obsessed with this song. Also "A Jorb Well Done".
*Looney Tunes references. Man I love cartoons.
*The DNA Evidence!
*Gavin.
*Carol.
*The Show.
*The museum. Check out those ice pops!
*Cheat Commandos. Cheat Commandos...O's. Crack Stuntman. Silent Rip. Crackotage. The Topplegangers. The Ramshankle. Reynold. And Blue Laser Commander's Nana.
*TROGDOOOORRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! (dahn dahn dah, dunh dunh dah, dunh dunh dah danh duhn dahn duhn dah dah!)
 
See you rooouunnnndddd, Brown!

Pigs on Head

''"Hey pard'ner, what's that on your head? In this zany new game, it's pigs stacked high to the heavens. But be careful, one false move sends these curly-tailed oinkers tumbling to the ground!"'' -[[Videlectrix]]

'''Pigs on Head''' is a game made by Videlectrix.

In both modes of the game, the object is to catch the pigs on Pageboy's head and give them to either Hank or Frank. If Pageboy fails to catch a pig, it's destroyed and Pageboy loses a life. Lose all three, and the game is over. Pageboy can only carry 10 pigs on his head at one time.

In Mode A, you control all three characters at once.

In Mode B, Hank and Frank move up and down the ladders in a predetermined pattern (when Hank goes up, Frank goes down and vice-versa).

The number of points you earn for dropping off pigs is directly related to the number of rungs up Hank/Frank are on the ladder. Therefore, the bottom rung (or one pig on head) is worth 1 point, while the top rung is worth 10.

'''Page Title:''' Pigs on Head - Handheld Gamings-on!

== Instructions ==
'''GAME A''' - Help '''PAGEBOY''' catch the falling pigs! Before they stack up too high, take them over to '''HANK''' or '''FRANK''' on the ladders to unload them. You control all 3 characters in this mode. 
'''GAME B''' - You only control '''PAGEBOY''' in this mode. Catch pigs and unload them on '''HANK''' or '''FRANK''' ...''if they're around!''

== Controls ==
*In both modes, use the left and right arrow keys to move Pageboy left and right.
*In Mode A, use the Q and A buttons to move Hank (the individual on the left ladder) and the up and down arrows to move Frank (the individual on the right ladder) up and down.
*You can also directly click the D-Pad and buttons with your mouse to get the same effect.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Pigs on Head" first appeared in [[2 emails]]. As the email is being fast-fowarded, [[Strong Bad]] can be seen playing the PC version of the game on his computer.
**The game also makes a cameo appearance (along some other Videlectrix games) in [[anything]]. It's one of the "[[Sega Tapes]]" that [[Homestar Runner]] makes into a coaster.

===Remarks===
[[Image:PoH Game.jpg|thumb|Before...]]
*Neither Hank nor Frank can be seen in the email "2 emails" (the PC version).
*The kid on the box art has blue hair like [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman.]]
*Using Flash Decompiler, you can see what was actually on the handheld game before they added the flash attachments.

=== Inside References ===
*The screenshot contains the word "[[Mans]]".
*Hank and Frank are both [[smoking]] cigars.

===Real-World References===
*The LCD version of the game is specifically designed after the generic look of the [[Wikipedia:Game & Watch|Game & Watch]] series of LCD games produced by [[Nintendo]] from 1980 to 1991. It uses elements of multiple real Game & Watch games, such as the catching/stacking element from Oil Panic.
* The three character control style is much like the style found in the game [[Wikipedia:Image:Gamewatch mariobros open.JPG|Mario Bros.]] for the Game & Watch.
*The game parodies the old Kickman and [[Wikipedia:Pooyan|Pooyan]] arcade games.
*The game in the screenshot is "Manhole." The player would carry a manhole and cover the hole to let the people pass by without falling.
*The game slightly resembles These Little Pigs, a game by [[Wikipedia:Orisinal|Orisinal]].

== Transcript ==
''{Open with the silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand at night, and the woods behind it. Strong Bad and The Cheat, clad in black, sneak up to the back of the stand. They glance around to make sure nobody is watching.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You said it, The Cheat. Once we get our hands on Bubs' fundraiser candy bars, our troubles will be ''over''! We can retire, maybe get a little place in Strong Badia, I dunno.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, remember the drill: go straight for the crispy crackly ones. Don't waste your time on them plain ol' chocolates. Those things are fool's gold! Okay, hand me the explosives.

''{The Cheat hands Strong Bad a bunch of [[Fthoom-Bang]] brand bottle rockets duct-taped together and then lights them with the [[BMW Lighter]]. Strong Bad sets them against the back door of Bubs' stand, and then they both take cover. The rockets launch and fireworks explode in the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I told you to remove the ''fthoom''! ''{The Cheat covers his face}'' All we needed was the ''bang''!

''{Homestar Runner arrives, making car-alarm siren noises.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Weh ooh weh ooh weh ooh weh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, we've been found ou—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DoooooooOOOOOOOOOOWIP! DoooooooOOOOOOOOOOWIP!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, we've—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mang Mang Mang Mang!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DooooooooDEEEEEEEEEEdooooooooDEEEEEEEEEE! ''(He stops, leans forward, and looks at Strong Bad expectantly.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{exasperated, after a pause}'' Oh no we've been found out.

''{Coach Z walks up behind them}''

'''COACH Z:''' I mighta guessed you was behind all this!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z, get these low-lifes out of my sight!

''{Coach Z starts dragging them off. Strong Bad's heels leave little trails of dirt in the ground as he is dragged along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You set me up! You set me up! The Cheat, tel-tell him that he set you up. ''{The Cheat starts squealing with him}'' YOU SET ME UP!!!

''{Cut to title sequence. Mugshots of Strong Bad appear along with the titles. '''"THE BROTHERS CHAPS PRESENT"''' '''"THE FIRST CARTOON IN A WHILE"''' '''"WE LIKE TO CALL IT"''' '''"STRONG BAD IS IN JAIL CARTOON"''' '''"MISSY AND MATT ON VOCALS"''' '''"MIKE ON DRUMS"''' Cut to Strong Sad sitting at a table, writing a letter and narrating.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dear Prisoner Number 5408, aka Strong Bad, aka Professor Tor Coolguy, I can only hope your incarceration turns your life around as much as it has mine. I feel... cooler, and... less like I suck so bad. I've made some changes around the house. Your computer room is now my Tai Chi space.

''{Cut to the computer room, where Strong Sad has set up calligraphy scrolls, Taijitu (Yin Yang symbols), and a candle, while he performs tai chi.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hai-toh... Beng... Gait!

''{Cut back to him writing}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I gotta go. Marzipan and I have a ''{[[Foreign Words|enunciates heavily]]}'' baklava in the oven. Hoping you don't get shivved, Strong Sad.

''{Cut to jail, which is just a cardboard box with seven slits cut in it sitting in the field. Strong Mad is visiting, and Strong Bad has a hairnet on. Judging by the tally marks on the inside of the cell, he and The Cheat have been there for a week.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta get us outta the joint, man! I don't think The Cheat is gonna make it.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is frothing at the mouth and has hair sticking all over the place, going crazy. He's standing by three metal cans marked Food, Water, and Eww.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WRAH!

''{Strong Mad lifts up the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet lady freedom! Let's make out!

''{The Cheat wipes off the froth and fixes his hair.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, which sound like "Let's make out!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, shut up! What, are you horning in on my girl? Only I get to make out with—

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{corrective The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. The escaping.

''{They run off. Strong Mad puts the box down and stands there for a while, blinking, before holding up a yellow jackhammer labeled "JACK HAMMA!" smashed into a yellow cake with pink icing and put on a plate.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I BROUGHT YOU A CAKE!

''{Cut to the field. Marzipan is reading a newspaper, and Homestar walks up to her.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, lady.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, did you know that crime is on the rise?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, no. Is it?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes, things are very serious now. So what are you going to do to protect me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I could put a dash between "Homestar" and "Runner" from now on.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Really? You'd do that for me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs}'' No, of course not.

''{Marzipan frowns and glares. Strong Bad and The Cheat run past in the distance, carrying off the King of Town's crown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat, we struck it rich this time! Now we can retire to ''da MOOOOOOOOOOOON''!!

''{Cut to inside police headquarters. Coach Z and Bubs are doing a police sketch of the thief of the King of Town's crown.}''

'''BUBS:''' So, describe to me what the perpetrator looked like.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Had a head like a big ol' round ol'...

'''BUBS:''' Okay...

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ...red ol'...

'''BUBS:''' Uh-huh...

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ...nasty ol' egg.

'''BUBS:''' I see...

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': And hands looked like biscuit dough!

'''BUBS:''' Uh-huh. Is this the man?

''{Bubs holds up a sketch of a guy in a sweater with the number 7 on it with biscuit dough hands and a craggy face, looking nothing like Strong Bad. He has a speech bubble saying "I did it!!"}''

'''COACH Z:''' It was Biscuit Dough Hands Man! I knew it!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are hiding out behind the fence, where they've stashed all their loot. Among their loot is a cookie jar that looks like Trivia Time, the framed picture titled "Thank You" from Marzipan's house, and some bags labeled "some savings". The Cheat is wearing the King of Town's crown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat! Quit being such an old The Cheat. We gotta come out of retirement for this one last job.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{replies}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nononono, nononono! It's like this: the ransom money becomes the new retirement money. And the retirement money becomes the new college fund. And the college fund... eh, we blow on a really tricked-out van.

''{The Cheat ponders, then agrees. Strong Bad turns aside and starts talking to himself}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes! Another victim claimed by Strong Bad's Powers of Persuasion. No living The Cheat can resist the P.O.P.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{annoyed The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hang on, I'm not done yet! ''{turns aside again}'' And eh... um... okay I was done. Let's go.

''{Cut to the inside of the King of Town's castle, nighttime. The King of Town arrives home.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Poopsmith, I'm home! Man, I feel like some serious biscuit dough. Poopsmith? ''{goes outside}'' Poopsmith!

''{Goes to the pile of whatsit. The shovel is there, the pile is there, but the Poopsmith is not.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Poopsmith?! ''{Zoom in on the shovel}''

'''BACKGROUND VOICES:''' Dun-dun-DUN!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' THEY'VE STOLEN MY POOPSMITH!!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are there, and Homestar has a flashlight.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom, the Poopsmith is missing, and we gots to find him. We're your first and last line of defense! Only ''you'' can prevent scouting! Boy, do we need forest fires!

''{turns around for a second, and then turns back to Pom Pom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-ha! Pom Pom! ''{clicks the flashlight on and shines it in his face}'' What are you doing out past curfew?

'''POM POM:''' ''{perplexed bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't play games with me, Roundy-Man! Just who are you working with?

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Runner, eh? Sounds like a no-goodnik to me!

''{Starts clicking the light on and off in Pom Pom's face, who's now very annoyed.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{annoyed bubble noises}''

''{Homestar sniffs him}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom... did you step in something?

''{Cut to Strong Badia, daytime, behind the fence. Frank Bennedetto, an iPod, and the Poopsmith are the latest additions to Strong Bad's stash. The Poopsmith is tied-up and duct-taped across the mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, doodie[[m'n]]. It's time to deliver my ultimate ultimatum. The Cheat! Ready with the viderocamera!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{holds up a camera with "property of kevin" written on it. He begins filming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, hang on! Almost forgot to disguise my identity. ''{puts on a red ski mask with a cutout for his nose}'' Now we're ready. Attention, whatever weirdos are concerned about the Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Oh, hey Strong Bad. ''{camera pans to see Homestar standing right there, Pom Pom close behind}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—? Aww, holy ''crap''! I ''thought'' I smelled bacon! How'd you find us?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We followed this mysterious trail the Poopsmith left!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eww!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That, and we got an anonymous tip from Strong Sad.

''{Strong Sad peeks out from behind the fence}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I told them you were behind the fence.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You sold me out. You sold me out! The Cheat, tell him that he... Oh, never mind.

''{Coach Z and Bubs walk up}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! It's just Strong Bad.

'''COACH Z:''' Once again, Biscuit Dough Hands Man slips through our fingers.

''{They grab Strong Bad and The Cheat and drag them off, The Cheat making The Cheat noises in protest}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, kids and people, it just goes to show, Strong Sad doing tai chi is really, really funny.

''{Strong Sad peeks out from behind the fence again}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? It was! ''{Homestar starts imitating Strong Sad's tai chi}'' You were all like Pah-ku-lah! Honh! Pwing!

''{Marzipan walks in with a plate full of baklava}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Who wants some ''bak-a-lava''? ''{the cartoon fades out}'' ''Baka-mah-lava'', anybody?

''{The cartoon sits at the "THE END" screen for a while, then fades in to Marzipan's Answering Machine.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{on the answering machine}'' Hi, this is Marzipan. ''{beep}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on the answering machine}'' Hello, Marzipan! This is Professor Tor Coolguy! I was just calling to see if you'd be interested in PREPARING FOR YOUR ''DOOM''!! Er...e... not really calling to see, uh... I shouldn't have really given you a choice, I mean, uh... you should just go ahead and prepare for your doom. Cause it's on its way, man. It's gonna be some doom. ''{beep}''

''{Cut to jail. Strong Mad is still outside the jail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding the can of 'eww' as if it were a tin-can telephone}'' Ho-ho! Great idea, The Cheat. Even on the inside, Professor Tor Coolguy cannot be stopped!

'''BACKGROUND VOICES:''' Dun-dun-DUN!

''{the cartoon fades out again, back to the "THE END" page. After a while, it cuts to Strong Badia at nighttime, behind the fence. The loot isn't there anymore, but The Poopsmith is, tied-up and with duct-tape over his mouth. After a while, Homestar Runner walks up to him, clicking the flashlight on and off in his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, buster, move it along here! Nothing to see, nothing to see! ''{continues to click the flashlight on and off in his face for a while, pauses, then pulls out the sketch of Biscuit-Dough Hands Man}'' Is this you?

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*"Shivved" is prison slang for being stabbed. A "[[Wikipedia:Shiv (weapon)|shiv]]" is an improvised sharp knife-like weapon made in prison.
*[[Wikipedia:Baklava|Baklava]] is a Turkish dessert, popular in Greece. A recipe for it can be found at [http://www.eatgreektonight.com/recipes/desserts/baklava.html EatGreekTonight.com].
*The line "I thought I smelled bacon" refers to the derogatory term "pigs" for police. Phrases like this were often used on police or detective TV shows in the '70s by criminals and shady informants when the police show up unexpectedly.
*Strong Mad baked a cake with a [[Jack Hamma|jack hammer]] in it for Strong Bad and The Cheat. It is a common cliché in movies for someone to bake a cake with a file in it and give it to a relative in prison so that they can use the file to break out.

===Trivia===
*The stolen goods that Strong Bad and The Cheat have stashed behind the fence were:
**[[The King of Town]]'s Crown
**The Poopsmith
**The [[Trivia Time]] Cookie Jar
**[[Senor Cardgage]]'s [[Aldi Bag]]
**[[Strong Sad's iPod]]
**Pom Pom's [[Pom Pilot]]
**[[Frank Bennedetto]] of the [[Homestarmy]]
**The "Thank You" sign from Marzipan's living room
**Bags of "some savings"
*The [[Periodicals|newspaper]] Marzipan is reading says:<blockquote><big>'''The Latest News'''</big> It's all true. All the rumors are true. The crime is on the rise in our very own town. Trust me on this one. I know what I'm talking about. No, wait. I don't. I make stuff up sometimes. That's cool, though, right? Good. I'll keep doing it then. It's a lot easy than fact checking. That stuff can be annoying.</blockquote>
**This is then repeated eight times to fill up the paper.
*After The Poopsmith is captured, Strong Sad's iPod is present behind Strong Bad near the fence. The screen of this device says:
**playlists
**songs
**settings
*The title of the page is "The Bighouse!". At one time, however, when the toon first appeared, the title was "Compy 386!!" just like a [[Strong Bad Email]]. This was fixed and changed to "The Bighouse!" within the first day.
*The Fireworks are called "Fthoom-Bang Brand bottle rockets".
*If the [[Floppy Disk Container]] in [[Computer Room|Strong Bad's computer room]] is zoomed in on during Strong Sad's tai chi, it reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#shogun|shogun]]". This complements the East-Asian–related furnishings in the room.
*The [[Glossary#V|Videro]] camera says "Property of [[Kevin]]."
*Every main character except [[Homsar]] appears in this cartoon.

===Remarks===
*The [[opening credits]] refer to this as the "FIRST CARTOON IN A WHILE," and rightly so, since the last one was [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]], made a year-and-a-half earlier.
[[Image:reversed pom pilot.png|thumb|200px|He likes talking to his "seidal"]]
*Pom Pom's [[Pom Pilot]]'s screen is flashing. The screen is also reversed, so if the toon is paused when the screen is on and zoom in, icons for "Internet," "Solitaire," and "The Ladies" can be seen on the wrong side of the screen and with the words backwards. There is also a blank spot in the place where the "e-mail" icon was seen in [[the bird]].
*The Poopsmith's mouth is duct-taped shut, despite his vow of silence.
*Strong Bad is wearing a hairnet when he is in "jail", but he has no hair, as he said in [[haircut]].
*According to the markings on the wall of the jail, The Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week.
*In the beginning, when The Cheat and Strong Bad are sneaking over to Bubs' Concession Stand, the noise of their walking sounds like gravel. However, once the camera zooms in, what they're walking on is revealed to be grass.
*As Coach Z is dragging The Cheat and Strong Bad to jail, Strong Bad's feet make mud tracks, yet The Cheat's feet leave no tracks. This could possibly be explained by the fact that The Cheat is lighter.
*The [[Bear holding a Shark]] is missing from behind the fence.
*Homestar's flashlight makes two clicks when he turns it on and off, like a push-button flashlight. It appears to have a switch though, which should make only one click.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's shadow in the concession stand's door shows him without his balaclava.
*During the scene with Homestar and Pom Pom trying to find the Poopsmith, the Homestar and Pom Pom sprites are shown at full brightness, even though it's dark outside, and even though Homestar was shown in the dark earlier in the cartoon at 75% brightness.
*In one of the mugshots, Strong Bad's right eye is smaller than his left.
*The Doorknob to the concession stand overlaps the doorframe, so assuming that there is a knob on the other side, the door wouldn't be able to open at all.
*Coach Z walks in after Strong Bad says "You sold me out!". When he walks out, the Z on his medallion is backwards.
*The screen on the Pom Pilot in the scene with the Poopsmith tied up behind the fence is mirrored from normal.

===Inside References===
*The phrase "We can retire to [[The Moon|the MOOOooooooooooooon!]]" is a reference to [[personal favorites]].
*Homestar's first Tai-Chi pose is the same pose old-timey Homestar does in one of the movies for [[Kick the Can]] and [[20X6 vs. 1936]].
*The bags of "some savings" are the same bags as "the payoff" bag in [[unused emails]].
*Strong Bad calling The Poopsmith "doodiem'n" is another example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Tai chi chuan|Tai Chi]] is "an internal Chinese martial art often practiced with the aim of promoting health and longevity."
**The characters in the background as Strong Sad is practicing Tai Chi are, on the left, the three characters for Tai Chi (Mandarin taijiquan), and on the right, the two characters for [[Wikipedia:Qigong|Qigong]], a system of motion and breathing similar to Tai Chi.
*Homestar's quote "Only ''you'' can prevent scouting! Boy do we need forest fires!" is a take off of a popular commercial featuring [[Wikipedia:Smokey the Bear|Smokey the Bear]], a sophisticated bear who acted as a forest ranger and taught about fire safety when camping in the woods in all of his commercials. His main catchphrase at the end of all of his commercials was "Only YOU can prevent forest fires!" Since 2001, Smokey's catchphrase has been "Only YOU can prevent wildfires!" to reflect the United States Forest Service changing the emphasis of their policy on forest fires from absolute prevention to controlled burning.
**Homestar may also be confusing [[Wikipedia:Scouting|The Boy Scouts of America]] with Smokey Bear commercials. "Boy, do we need scouting!" is a quote attributed to former President and Eagle Scout [[Wikipedia: Gerald Ford|Gerald Ford]].
*Prof. Tor Coolguy is a sort of play on [[Wikipedia:Characters in Guilty Gear#Sol Badguy|Sol Badguy]], a character from [[Wikipedia:Guilty Gear|Guilty Gear]].
*The Cheat's "Henchman" shirt at the start of this cartoon is a homage to the shirts worn by the henchmen on the old '60s "[[Batman]]" show. The villains' lackeys wore shirts with their cheesy codename on them. The shirts were almost always black with plain white lettering.
*The series of sirens and buzzes that Homestar Runner makes when he discovers Strong Bad and The Cheat (each time interrupting Strong Bad as he tries to say "Oh no, we've been found out") is a takeoff on the well-known Viper car alarm.
*Strong Bad wearing a hairnet while incarcerated is a nod to ''[[Wikipedia:O Brother, Where Art Thou?|O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' and the character Ulysses Everet McGill's wearing a hairnet to sleep.

===Fast Forward===
*The newspaper Marzipan was reading in this cartoon was used again in [[secret recipes]] and [[candy product]].
*In the Email [[other days]], Strong Bad mentions his arrest.
**Likewise, this may have been mentioned by Marzipan in [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], when she comments that his hot chocolate is a "wonderful byproduct of [his] parole".
*Strong Bad's plans to use the "college fund" to buy a "really tricked-out van" is later reused in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], in which it's revealed that he has a "master plan" to "buy a custom conversion van".
*The Fthoom-Bang brand bottle rockets reappear in [[Date Nite]].
*Professor Coolguy supplies Coolguy's Law in [[slumber party]].
*The hat worn by Strong Bad reappears in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*Strong Sad wanted Strong Bad to go back to jail in [[Strong Badia The Free]] when Strong Bad is placed under house arrest.

*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The scene with the Poopsmith is made into a separate, selectable egg instead of a waiting egg.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''MATT:''' Take it away, Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan Sterritt's gonna do this whole commentary by himself!

'''RYAN:''' Ohhh... I am... I like the fireworks that are coming up. Not saying that much, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' You're on your own, man.

'''RYAN:''' I'm on my own here. It's gonna be a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan's visibly nervous, guys.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we won't make him—

'''MIKE:''' We'll bail him out.

'''RYAN:''' Bail me out like I'm in jail.

''{Matt and Mike cheer.}''

'''MATT:''' Apropos! 

'''MIKE:''' This guy's like... Spartus attack.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' So The Cheat is wearing, uh, one of the Henchman sweaters that he borrowed from one of the Joker's Henchmen from the '60s Batman—

'''MIKE:''' Movie this time!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Not from that one episode that everything else is from.

'''MATT:''' That's true! That's true.

'''MIKE:''' It's from the Batman ''movie''.

'''MATT:''' There's some sweet shadow effects coming off from those flashes there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you did those, good job.

'''MATT:''' I'll tell the same story that I did on our first run of this commentary where there was this guy that parked next to the parking place that I rode to school in the car of in...?

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckling}''

'''MATT:''' ...to high school...?

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Robert Frost!

'''MATT:''' Uhh, anyways, and he had that very same car alarm that went through the different alarms and every day when we would leave school and kick his tires and set it off.

'''RYAN:''' As you should.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What's a 16-year-old need with a car alarm living in Dunwoody, Georgia? That's what I want to know.

'''RYAN:''' What does a car alarm really get you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, in these days you just ignore them.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' If movies tell me anything, it means nothing. You just drive off with the alarm going on and lay low for a while...across the border. ''{Commenting on "Prisoner #5408}'' That's the street number of a friend of ours. A ''former'' street number of a friend of ours.

'''MIKE:''' A former ''friend'' of ours.

'''MATT:''' No, no!

'''MIKE:''' That guy... I don't even know who it is.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Umm... ''{Strong Sad is talking about Tai Chi}'' What's he playing there?

'''MIKE:''' Uh—

'''MATT:''' I can't even— I can't even tell.

'''MIKE:''' The disk in the diskette.

'''MATT:''' It might have been Shogun.

''{Unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' ...So you were, in the first run of the commentary, you also said there was an alternate take where it's not only his Tai Chi space but his Chai tea space.

'''RYAN:''' I remember that.

'''MATT:''' That's right. It was Quote of the Day recently.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. That's a funny joke, Tai Chi and Chai tea.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{Strong Mad lifts up the jail and The Cheat fixes his fur.}'' Lookit— did you see The Cheat grin, really Mike-animatidly fixes his hair in the background...

'''MIKE:''' That's— That's just mean. That's just mean-spirited.

'''MATT:''' I'm just kidding. ''I'' might have even animated this whole part, I dunno.

'''RYAN:''' I think ''I'' did, actually.

''{Matt and Mike laugh.}''

'''MATT:''' Jack Hamma! We should make, uh... sledge-hammer-type '70s TV show called Jack Hamma. What do you think of the "Yeah, no" phenomenon, Ryan, where if I'm asking you something and I say, "Hey Ryan, did you see the new stuff about apple.com?" And you say, "Yeah, no!" "Uhh, they did ''this''."

'''RYAN:''' It's also like the "I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'" phenomenon.

'''MATT:''' Right, exactly.

'''RYAN:''' I'm not sayin', but... I'm just sayin'.

'''MATT:''' You're clearly sayin'.

'''RYAN:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are running with the King of Town's crown.}'' Look at The Cheat moving there, he's just kind of gliding along!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Slithering.

'''MIKE:''' Slytherin?

'''MATT:''' Shut up. ''{laughs}'' Um, so for some reason in this cartoon, Ryan...Homestar, Coach Z, and Bubs, and sort of Pom Pom are some kind of law...governing...agency. And no— And never again really.

'''MIKE:''' ''{Screen transition showing Strong Badia}'' Camera move.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a nice camera move. Thanks.

'''MIKE:''' Mondo.

'''MATT:''' It's Trivia Time! They've taken Trivia Time from off of Marzipan and/or Homestar's kitchen shelf.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we've really established whose kitchen that is.

'''MATT:''' I think people assume it's Marzipan's.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think it's Marzipan's.

'''MATT:''' Dude, I don't want to hint at any cohabitation here, okay?

'''MIKE:''' ''{awkward pause}'' Me neither.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Okay! I'm with you! Um, so the tricked-out van, um, you see in that Strong Bad is a Bad Guy... Mario Paint cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''MATT:''' He wants to get a custom conversion van. It's a recurring dream of his.

'''MIKE:''' What do you think the King of Town's coming back from?

'''MATT:''' Feeding?

'''MIKE:''' You think he's just coming back from—?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, from the station.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, he went directly home? You don't think he stopped anywhere in between?

'''MATT:''' Naw.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quietly}'' Dun-dun-duh.

'''MATT:''' Hey let's all do it, all three of us. Ready?

'''ALL:''' Dun-dun-duhh!

'''MIKE:''' It sounds a little better with Ryan, doesn't it?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' The trio.

'''MATT:''' Do the— Yeah, you do the high part, Ryan, this time.

'''RYAN:''' Uh oh.

'''MATT:''' Ready?

'''RYAN & MATT:''' Dun-dun—!

'''MATT:''' Duhhh!

'''RYAN:''' ''{high singing}'' Duhhh? ''{lower}'' Duhh.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles}'' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' We're good, we're good.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Is that a real flashlight sound?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it is, it's from my Maglite.

'''RYAN:''' Ooh. Is that one where you push in—?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a little plungery-looking guy.

'''RYAN:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MATT:''' My six-cell Maglite. That I got for my twenty-fourth birthday.

'''RYAN:''' Was there ever a Biscuit Dough Hands Man shirt?

'''MIKE:''' Nah, I wish there was.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Let's do that. The Biscuit Dough Man on one side and Montenegro on the other side.

''{Mike and Ryan laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' "Oh yes?"

'''MATT:''' Top-seller.

'''MIKE:''' We would sell... one—

'''MATT:''' The three of us.

'''MIKE:''' —to me! Oh, the three— All three of us would buy it.

'''MATT:''' Look, they stole that video tape— that video ''camera'', rather, from Kevin. The same Kevin that called Marzipan, you think?

'''MIKE:''' I think so!

'''MATT:''' That ski mask gives Strong Bad magical reverb!

''{All laugh}''

'''MATT:''' —when he puts it on.

'''MIKE:''' But— No, it's not the ski mask because he's still got it on!

'''MATT:''' He turned it off! He turned it off.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, oh.

'''MATT:''' Variable speed.

''{Matt and Mike chuckle.}''

'''MATT:''' Um, they stole Senor Cardgage's Aldi bag. So that's further— further, uh, evidence that maybe Senor really exists.

'''MIKE:''' —he does exist?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, if his Aldi bag full of candy bars is floating around out there. ''{pause}'' Uh, our niece used to do Homestar's impression of Strong Sad here a lot, and she would jump down on her knees here at the end, and I was always afraid she was gonna, like, break her knees or bruise her legs up real bad. ''{Homestar goes "Pwing!" and lands on his knees}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles a little}'' She would jump—!

'''MATT:''' She would do that really violently and we were like, "What are you doing??", and finally she would tell us that she was doing her Homestar impression.

'''MIKE:''' —of... Strong Sad.

'''MATT:''' ''{mocking Marzipan's "Baka-mah-lava" in a high voice}'' Mah-nah deh-teh-teh?? ''{Cartoon ends, more or less}'' So, we've got a bit more time here, guys.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, we do?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan?

'''MATT:''' Tor Coolguy.

'''RYAN:''' Tor Coolguy.

'''MIKE:''' ''{softly}'' ohhh...

''{Pause. The gang mumbles at once, not knowing what to say.}''

'''MATT:''' This is the last commentary we're doing on the DVD, guys!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, good job guys!

'''RYAN:''' We did a great job.

'''MIKE:''' We all stepped up.

'''RYAN:''' Round of applause?

''{They clap.}''

'''MIKE:''' Wooo!

'''RYAN:''' We gave our A-game.

'''MIKE:''' We gave our A-game to them.

'''RYAN:''' Hundred and ten...percent.

'''MATT:''' Yeah...what else? The Cheat's all messed up again, already. ''{laughter}'' You put him in that box and his hair—

'''MIKE:''' He's been in there for seven days!

== Transcript ==

''{We start with a familiar scene, the [[Compy 386|Compy]]. Except Strong Bad isn't there, and there's a sticky note on the screen saying "in da basement -sb".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Strong Bad! ''{walks up to the computer}'' Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your fondue pot again? Oh. You're not here. I'll get to the bottom of this!

''{He sits down at the Compy and starts typing. While he says everything correctly, he misspells "Strong Bad".}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Dear Stong Bah, 
Where are you? 
Your friend, 
Homestar</blockquote>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{notices the note}'' Oh! "In da basement. From SB." Ohhh, that must stand for Stong Bah.

''{He stands up and heads for the basement. Upon arriving he finds Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat playing TROGDOR! the arcade game.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys! Whatcha playin'?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, playin'? No, we're, uh, we're doing The Cheat's taxes.

'''STRONG MAD:''' W-2!!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bo-ring. I don't wanna play that.

''{Homestar walks off. The game blips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Argh! Stupid peasant.

''{He kicks the arcade machine, which says, in a computer voice, "UGGA UGGA UGGA".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoah! Pretty cool! ''{kicks it twice more, with the same results}'' All right, who's next?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine.

''{Strong Bad gets off the stool to let The Cheat on, but he just looks at Strong Bad, and makes more noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right. Here ya go, little buddy.

''{He lifts him onto the stool and the theme music begins playing. As soon as it's over...}''

'''STRONG BAD and STRONG MAD:''' TROGDOR!

''{The game says "UGGA UGGA UGGA!" and The Cheat begins playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, nice move! You're a master!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down with a link to play the Trogdor arcade game. After a little while, Homestar comes back with a stack of papers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, can you guys do my taxes next? ... You guys? ... Man, that's one big adding machine.

== Easter Eggs ==

*If you wait for Homestar to come by and ask them to do his taxes - after he says, "Man, that is one big adding machine" you can click on the [[TROGDOR!]] game to make it say "[[Trogdor]]."
*You can click on the top of Homestar's pile of papers to see his expenses:

<blockquote>Homestar Runner's 
2002 Expenditures 
________________________ 
 
$150 - [[pork]] [[b/w]] [[beans]] 
 
$2,000 - [[witch's brew]] 
 
$4,000 - refinance my [[Homestar Runner's Hat|hat]] 
 
$2.07 - [[Marzipan]] gift 
 
$1,000 - [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffypuffs]] 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to SB 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to SM 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to The C. 
 
$75 - straps and practice</blockquote>

:*When you have Homestar's expenses displayed, you can click and hold on the last item in the list "straps and practice" to see a picture of something that looks like a hand-drawn baseball card. It bears a resemblance to the [[Kewpie Dan]] drawing from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Strong Mad says "[[Wikipedia:Tax forms in the United States#W-2|W-2]]!", which is an [[Wikipedia:U.S. Internal Revenue Service|IRS]] tax form.
*An [[wikipedia:Adding machine|adding machine]] is a [[wikipedia:Calculator|calculator]] with a printer.
*Homestar paying Strong Mad, Strong Bad, and The Cheat "monthly protection" suggests that the three are [[Wikipedia:Bagman|bagmen]] for a [[Wikipedia:Protection racket|protection racket]].

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#manhunter new york|manhunter new york]]".
*The top paper in Homestar's stack of papers says "Important Document #402".

=== Remarks ===
*On the Monday following [[the show]], there was no new [[Strong Bad Email]]. Instead, there was a post-it note that said "In da Basement". The note included a link to the aformentioned toon short.
*In 2002, Homestar paid a total of $18,000 for "protection", as he paid Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat $500 dollars each per month. His other expenditures make up less than 29% of the total $25227.07.
*The Cheat plays the game [[Left Handedness|left-handed]].
*Some of the sounds used in this toon are slightly off from their game counterparts. The peasant burnination sound is higher pitched and the squished peasant sound is played faster.
*Strong Bad has two identical stools (one for his [[Strong Bad's Technology#Computers|computer]] and one for the TROGDOR! game.)
*There is a metal plate at the near bottom of the machine, which is used as a door in most arcade machines to protect the coins collected. However, there are no coin slots, and The Cheat did not put in any coins to start a new game.

=== Glitches ===
*At the start, the Compy's contrast knob is there. When Homestar comes in it is missing, but you can click it anyway. It doesn't do anything either time.
*When Strong Bad kicks the arcade machine, the kicking sound effect comes as his leg is pulling back, not as it is hitting the game.
*The clickable area on the "Back" text at the end of the toon extends much farther to the left.

=== Inside References ===
*Pork [[b/w]] beans refers to the Strong Bad Email [[helium]], in which [[Marzipan]] and Homestar discuss the subject briefly. 
*"Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|fondue pot]] again?" refers to [[50 emails]].
*This is another appearance of the [[Witches' Brew]].
* This is another instance of the misspelling [[Stong Bad]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The page title "Quite exciting this computer magic" is a quote from the movie ''[[Spinal Tap|This is Spinal Tap]]''. One of the band members (Viv Savage) says it while playing a game similar to [[Wikipedia:Missile Command|Missile Command]] on a TRS-80 Color Computer in the tour bus.

=== Fast Forward ===
*Cans of [[pork]] [[b/w]] [[beans]] would later be seen in the Strong Bad Email [[business trip]].
*"Strong Bah" was used in [[virus]], where Strong Bad says "I see a Strongba in there".

== DVD Version ==
*The expenses and "straps & practice" Easter eggs are now viewable separately from each other by pushing the angle button on your remote.
*Instead of clicking on the arcade machine to make it say "Trogdor!", after Homestar comments on it being a big adding machine, the "Trogdor!" sound plays automatically once.

LittleWonderFish: checka my signature

Greetings, one and everyone! Welcome to meeee. Littlllle. WonderrrrFiiiish. LittleWonderFish.
 
Hey, I'm getting okay at HTML! Finally! I'm a girl who bears a strikng resemblance to What's Her Face from TGS (the dark hair, un"popular"ity, way of attracting the romantic interest of annoying boys, often the baggy pants, the strange friends, magnetic forcefield with built-in possum attractor...oh wait, never mind). But also So and So's imaginary friends and unbelievably chipper outlook on life. I am nothing like Cheerleader. No. Basically, I'm a dork who has a good time making fun of anyone who is mean to me (so watch yout backs, hecklers). Oh, and I have wicked crane machine skills.

*I've been following homestarrunner.com for eight million years (give or take). My brother showed me and my OTHER brother the site when I was, say...seven? Eight? Nine? Well, a little person. I admit I was expecting the site to have a kid on a skateboard on the main page. Huh.
*As you have obviously noticed, my username is LittleWonderFish. That's basically 'cause I like swimming, and Lake Erie happens to be one of my top 20 places in the universe. Not other lakes though. At my camp, we have a lake that we HAVE to take BORING and UNINFORMATIVE and NO-WORKY swim lessons in in the cold water first thing in the morning. After two years of this I have learned absolutely nothing. Hey, be glad, hecklers: the original idea was LadyWonderSquid.
*If, when frequenting the internettzorz, you see someone with the username LittleWonderFish, TheWarnerSister, DmitraBlue, or The1928Girl, chances are that's me.
*I love Marzipan (a snarky hippie with a considerable resistance to death...like me!), Bubs (he's one shady, shady character), Strong Bad (he still has not answered my email, though), and Strong Sad (look how cute he is. Awwwww).
*I am just a smidge too creative for my own good. I make my own earrings, knit, write, draw cartoons, and will someday be either the treasured gem at a greeting card company, or a cartoonist who makes very little money but makes people smile. At present however, I have absolutely no clue what to do for my Girl Scout project, and I'm pretty sure The Effects of Gasoline on Fire is not going to get me the Silver Award.
*Basically what I do around here is do little nitpicky detaily things to existing articles. I've seen literally every toon on the site and will make little corrections that annoy the heck out of you. I'm sorry, folks, just doing my job as a kid with too much free time and a crazy-good memory.
*I can speak Homsar! If I met him on the street, I'd say "Why's down, Father Christmas? I'm the large flan at your flailed sense factory."
 
==Top Ten Randomsillyjunk!!!==
'''Quotes (in no particular order)'''
 
*14. "''Judith'' is making me get a job at ''Shirt Folding Store''."
*13. "Oh is that your liver? Well here's my fist!"
*12. "Do you see me as a one-legged puppy?"
*11. "The eagle is in the pantry!"
*10. "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date."
*9. "My brothers are GALACTICALLY INCAPABLE of friend-have."
*8. "Are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?"
*7. "Well, lucky for you, I got this previously owned box of chick'n beaks in just now! Like, right JUST NOW!"
*6. "Coach Z, are you accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman?"
*5. "Stay outta my or-fice!" "EW! Please never say that again!"
*4. "Positate without pizzaz and jam!"
*3. "No way, Dog. No way, Bubs. My face doesn't know the meaning of unrecognizable clump!"
*2. "You see, Strong Bad? What the the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has his face and head."
*1. "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior...!"

What the crap? That was fourteen! Eh. Whatever.
 
'''Shady Things Bubs has Done'''
*10. Burnt Exhibit A.
*9. Told Homestar he had no pancreas.
*8. Ran the Black market behind the Conscession Stand.
*7. Become an unlicsensed unlicsensed seller.
*6. Given one flavor of donut over a hundred names.
*5. Given Homestar questionable medical coverage.
*4. Tried to sell Exhibit B.
*3. Ended up in federal prison, then got time off for snitchy behavior.
*2. Shown the world just how terrifying he is when he's angry.
*1. Hung out with COACH Z!!!!! (cowers)
And despite it all, he still looks squishy and huggable. And he can dance!
 
'''Awesome Stuff Marzipan Has Done'''
*10. Stopped Coach Z from freestyling about his teeth.
*9. Worn combat boots AND a purple dressthing.
*8. Hit Strong Bad on the head with Carol.
*7. Written a peaceful protest song about wind and exploding heads.
*6. Drowned in the abyss and lived to say a serene outgoing answering machine message about it.
*5. Started a band because her boyfriend graffiti'd her wall.
*4. Entered Homestar in a pet show.
*3. Made her eyelashes visible/invisible at will.
*2. Survived a possible wolf attack...
*1. ...while glued to Homsar.

==Strong Bad Email Ideas?==
These are just some silly carp (yeah, you read that right) that I think should TOTALLY be in a SBemail.
 
* Truth or Dare! (actually sent this email)
* What were your childhood pets?
* Have you ever made greeting cards?
 
==100 Grand Finale==
 
Last thoughts. The most fabulosified things in the HR universe. The 100 is there just because...well, I like the candy bar. Got a problem?
 
*Dangeresque. Particularly the SBCG4AP episode. "LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUUUUMP!"
*All of SBCG4AP. Particularly episodes 3 and 4. 5's ending was disappointing, but it was a great premise, and 1 and 2 were just getting warmed up. Second season, pleeeease!
*Lowercase i's.
*That song "The Cheat is Not Dead". When I was little I used to be obsessed with this song. Also "A Jorb Well Done".
*Looney Tunes references. Man I love cartoons.
*The DNA Evidence!
*Gavin.
*Carol.
*The Show.
*The museum. Check out those ice pops!
*Cheat Commandos. Cheat Commandos...O's. Crack Stuntman. Silent Rip. Crackotage. The Topplegangers. The Ramshankle. Reynold. And Blue Laser Commander's Nana.
*TROGDOOOORRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! (dahn dahn dah, dunh dunh dah, dunh dunh dah danh duhn dahn duhn dah dah!)
 
See you rooouunnnndddd, Brown!

'''Free Country, USA''' (also spelled '''Free Country USA''' and '''FCUSA'''), is where the [[Homestar Runner universe]] is centered. All of the [[:Category:Main Characters|main characters]] live, work, and play here.

==Geographical Features and Locations==
[[Image:The Empty Field Of Green.png|thumb|The thriving hub that is Free Country, USA]]

Free Country, USA features a verdant [[The Field|field]] that typically serves as a central link between the various features of the landscape. At the center of the field itself is [[The Stick]], which functions as a landmark and a meeting place for [[Strong Bad]] and whomever he chooses to meet there. The edge of the field is lined with what appear to be trees. They represent the edge of Free Country. Probably also somewhere in or near the field is a stream with a picturesque [[The Stone Bridge|stone bridge]]. [[Date Nite|Once]], Strong Bad and [[Homestar Runner]] rocketed their [[USS Flirtini|cardboard submarine]] backwards along this stream, ending up in a large, open body of water. This may or may not be [[The Pond|the pond]] Strong Bad and [[Coach Z]] have been seen fishing in, or the sea; [[Marzipan]] once [[Homestar Presents: Presents|mentioned]] a location she referred to as "the wharfs", featuring crab traps and trapped baby seals. Rounding out the natural features are mountains (usually seen only from a distance). The foothills of these mountains are likely located in the nearby [[Spooky Woods|woods]], as they contain at least one [[cliff]]. There is also one "hot spot", [[Carrot and Kazoo Hill]].

Specific locations in Free Country are treated with a certain ambiguity. Somewhere at the edge of The Field is the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]]; logically, [[Coach Z's locker room]] is near the Athletic Field. The kickball field seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]] is probably near or in the athletic field due to the scoreboard there. Somewhere near the Athletic Field is [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Other locations include a building containing a [[The Classroom|classroom]], used for multiple purposes by most of the characters, [[the Office]] where many of the characters work, and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], a once-popular haunt for Homestar.

The toon [[Summer Short Shorts]] features a sequence with [[Pom Pom]] that reveals that Bubs' Concession Stand, as well as a dense forest, is very near [[Strong Badia]]. A similar forest can be seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. However, the Pom Pom short depicts the forest and Bubs' with Strong Badia set in between them, whereas Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon shows Bubs' on the edge of the forest with no Strong Badia to be seen. This forest may or may not be the [[Spooky Woods]] that is usually seen at night in Halloween-themed episodes.

''[[Homestar Ruiner]]'' and [[Baddest Of The Bands]] feature a map of Free Country, USA, but eschews any sense of proper geography, in favor of allowing the player to move the various landmarks around the landscape to their liking. In [[Strong Badia the Free]], the [[King of Town]] eats Strong Bad's map, forcing him to write the names of locations in the spaces on the board for an old Maps and Minions game that was lying around in Strong Badia (In this game, locations are placed on the map by the game rather than by the player, but as Strong Bad is simply writing the names of locations on a board game, this is still not a proper map of Free Country, USA). Coincidentally, the King of Town was using his own copy of Maps and Minions Deluxe to coordinate his own forces, though his map was more advanced than Strong Bad's.

===Characters' Homes===

As with Free Country's locations, the homes of different characters do not exist in rigidly established locations. With the exception of Coach Z's locker room and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] home (which is also [[The King of Town]]'s grill and therefore always near [[The King of Town's castle]]), none of the characters' homes have a clear geographical relation to each other. This ambiguity carries over into [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], in which Strong Bad adds locations to his map at his (or more accurately, the player's) own discretion.

Some clues exist concerning this, however. In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]], Strong Bad (as Cableman Jorge) asks Marzipan to buy a "hundred-foot spool of coaxial cable" in an attempt to get free cable service; this would imply the two houses are rather close to each other. In [[The King of Town DVD Commentary]], Strong Bad claims that The King of Town does not live in the castle, but in a "run down and creepy" "two bedroom job... next door" to him, although this was probably slanderous. Also, the similar designs of the exteriors of Marzipan's and Homestar's houses may be a hint that they were built from the same blueprints, as houses within a development often are. In the email [[unnatural]], a gigantic [[Bubs]] silhouette is seen walking from a silhouette of Strong Badia to The King of Town's castle, making it in several steps. This suggests that the castle is actually very close to Strong Badia.

==Flora and Fauna==

The flora of the land is somewhat sparse. Most of Free Country's ground is covered in evenly cut grass and long rows of large green bushes. Other types of shrubs and bushes make appearances from time to time; some bushes have been known to have [[Senor Cardgage]] inexplicably emerge from them. Though trees are seldom seen in Free Country, they are usually presented as being [[Wikipedia:deciduous|deciduous]], evidenced by the barren branches seen during Free Country's autumn. Occasionally [[Wikipedia:conifer|evergreen]] trees have been shown (usually around [[Decemberween]]). Flowers are incredibly rare and have only been seen in a couple of cartoons.

Fauna is in even shorter supply. Save for the [[Sea Creatures#Fish|fish]] in the pond, a few [[Bugs|crickets]], [[bees]], a number of bats, at least one [[Fat Bluebird|bird]] (others have been heard), [[The Bug|fly]] (some were seen at other places, including the trash can in [[invisibility]]), and [[Gavin|cockroach]], plus the characters themselves, no other animal life has yet been seen in Free Country, USA.

[[The King of Town]] at one point had [[The King of Town's Sheep|sheep]]. Whether he still owns them or ate them all is open to debate. It was at one time rumored that a [[Multi-Function Dragon|dragon]] menaced the castle, but even if he really existed, a story line shows it being slain.

==Politics==
[[Image:The KoTs Castle Grand.PNG|thumb|150px|The King of Town's Castle]]
Free Country appears at first glance to be a [[Wikipedia:monarchy|monarchy]] since it is nominally ruled by [[The King of Town]]. However, since Free Country is a [[Wikipedia:municipality|municipality]] and not a kingdom, the King of Town would technically be a [[Wikipedia:lord|lord]]. However, the self-conferred sovereign's reign is not widely recognized by the populace, so Free Country could be considered to be in a state of [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]], where there is no accepted centralized government but the members of the community co-exist with loosely established rules that maintain order.

To this end, Free Country can muster a meager police force consisting of [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] to ensure that anyone engaged in [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal behavior]] (to date, only [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]) are [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|placed firmly]] in [[jail]] (a large cardboard box). Since there is no need for an army (nor a government to stand one up), Free Country has no official military. It is, however, home to the [[Homestarmy]], a meager militia that includes a [[Frank Bennedetto|popcorn machine]] and is led by Homestar Runner. The Homestarmy once attempted to conquer Strong Badia (see below), but appears to represent no cohesive political movement (other than expressing discontent stemming from "playing second fiddle to a two-bit [[wrestleman]] and his yellow dog"). The King of Town has occasionally expressed an intention to exercise actual power, going so far as to mobilize [[The Municipality|his own military force]] headed up by [[The Poopsmith]], as seen in [[disconnected]].

Besides the King's castle (which would be the seat of government if the King's rule had any legitimacy), there is a different building containing a [[smoky office]] which has been used for various purposes, including a [[The Interview|newsroom]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|police station]], and a set for the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' films.

The name and the currency used imply that this town is in the United States of America, and in [[trading cards]] Strong Bad makes reference to himself "here in the states" when addressing a Canadian writer. Yet any further details, regarding what state or town "Free Country" is in is never mentioned. They may have to pay taxes, however, as evidenced by [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and [[Arcade Game]].

===Strong Badia===
[[Image:Strongbadia.png|thumb|150px|Strong Badia]]
[[Wikipedia:Enclave|Within Free Country's borders]], the territory of [[Strong Badia]] exists as an autonomous enclave. Strong Badia has a [[flag day|flag]], a [[Strong Badia National Anthem|national anthem]], and has even had to [[The Battle of Strong Badia|defend its autonomy]] from [[Homestarmy|outside aggression]], as seen in [[army]]. Although Strong Bad said that Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army, the local gang, [[On Point Kings]], have transformed from being a simple group of guys hanging around to a band of shady <strike> missionaries</strike> mercenaries that specialize in black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op. Whether or not Strong Badia is a "real" country is open to debate, since the permanent population of Strong Badia is a [[tire]] and it's only the size of a backyard. A few email senders seem to call Free Country by this name, presumably because the characters talk about Strong Badia more often than Free Country. However, Strong Bad specifically addressed this issue in [[keep cool]], limiting the official borders of Strong Badia to the empty lot "out beyond the dumpsters". However, no dumpsters are ever shown, so that doesn't really help us in finding out where it is.

==Other Territories==

Mentioned from time to time (and seen only via the depicted map) are other territories outside Free Country. If the circuitous path of Homestar's [[In Search of the Yello Dello|journey]] to [[Potamia]] for [[The Yello Dello]] is to be believed, Free Country borders the territory of [[Far Off Lands]]. Very little, if anything, is known about these territories or their relation to Free Country, although [[Prance]] is known to make at least one [[Hairstyle Runner|Homestar Runner-related product]], and Dortugal is also mentioned.

According to the original Characters page and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[The Brothers Strong]] come from a land called Parts Unknown.

Strong Bad claims to have a secret family (surnamed Mudgeman) in a community named Broiter Grove. If there is any shred of truth to this supposition, it can be assumed this community is near Free Country, USA, as Strong Bad is clearly without a working car.

==Economics==

The economics of Free Country are as ambiguous as the locations and politics of the territory. The local currency is [[Wikipedia:Federal_Reserve_notes|U.S. dollars]], although this official currency is augmented by a strong barter system that allows trade of goods and services (further suggesting that the government has no central banking power); most local commerce occurs at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Pencil shavings have been accepted by [[Bubs]] at least twice, in [[lackey]] and [[secret identity]]. Also, in a Easter Egg in [[colonization]], Homestar declares that 'Dirty [[Diapers]]' were to no longer be considered legal tender. In the email [[flag day]] a coin is visible that resembles a quarter. It is the same color, appears to be the same size, and has a face and words on both sides of it as well as words on the top and bottom of the coin. The date on it would be on the wrong side, though. The face on this coin is Strong Bad's. This implies that it is Strong Badian money, which implies Strong Badia is its own country. Strong Bad could be making this coin up because it has some of the words of the song he is currently singing printed on it. There was also a coin with a head of [[Trogdor]] on one side and his tail on another, seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]]. This somewhat suggests that Trogdor has his own type of currency, or the coin was made only for sporting events like kickball. It seems that there is some crabbing industry, as there are crab traps at the wharf (which often claim baby seals), even though this supposed wharf has never been seen, and its existence is doubted by Strong Bad in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Bubs' Concession Stand is known to accept these forms of currency:
*Cash
*Money
*Cash Money
*Pencil Shavings (added to the sign by the Cheat)
*[[Quesos]] (Strong Badian currency)
*First Born Children
*Arms/Legs
[[Image:Bubs Last Stand.PNG|thumb|150px|Bubs' Concession Stand]]

It is also unclear as to how rent or mortgages on the houses owned by Free Country residents is paid. [[Strong Bad]] mentions in [[colonization]] that he had to give [[Bubs]] his first and last month's rent deposits, but other than that, no other characters have mentioned how or when they pay rent.
===Employment===
:''Main article: [[Occupations]]''
Bubs works at his stand as a general fix-it man. He has also been seen as a mechanical worker at [[The Office]], and as a bartender at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Pom Pom]] work in some kind of an office, at least occasionally. Homestar also hosts [[The Show]]. [[Strong Bad]], in addition, had a "part, part, part, part, very part time job" as a giant [[Tragic Clown Dog]] mascot at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] in [[part-time job]]. He quit that job, however, when he realized that he needed to rush back to Marzipan's house to finish his email before the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] lost its battery charge, though it seems he was re-hired for the job in [[On Break]]. [[Strong Mad]] appears to work as a bouncer at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Coach Z]] is presumably some kind of a coach and a gym class teacher; he has also been seen working as a custodian at the office and as a [[Drive-Thru Whale|mascot]] for [[Blubb-O's]] restaurant. [[The King of Town]] employs [[The Poopsmith]] for reasons he does not care to disclose as well as a [[The Little Chef Guy|chef]], a [[The Blacksmith|blacksmith]], a [[The Hornblower|hornblower]], a [[The Cleric|cleric]], and a [[The Knight|knight]]. Marzipan, The Cheat, and Strong Mad are in a band named [[Cool Tapes]], which tours and sells "steven inches" for [[pi]] dollars. Marzipan additionally runs a kindergarten class which includes Homestar, [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Mad]]. [[Senor Cardgage]] has had several shady jobs, such as a mortgage seller, owner of an online e-niversity, operator of Shady Daycares, and lastly, with a somewhat stable job as an usher at the local [[The Movie Theater|theater]]. There is likely a Board of Health in FCUSA, as evidenced in [[Donut Unto Others]], where Strong Bad works as a health inspector. It has not been revealed whether the remaining characters have jobs.

==Free Country Through Time==

In addition to its current, contemporary depiction, Free Country has been shown in the past and possibly in the future.
[[Image:1936field.png|thumb|150px|Old-Timey Free Country]]
===Old-Timey Free Country===

In the [[Old-Timey|1930s]], Free Country was characterized by dirt roads, picket fences, carnival tents, antiquated Industrial Revolution-era factories, and even a [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|graveyard]], only the latter of which may have survived the passage of time. As with the rest of the USA during this time period, Free Country was [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|economically depressed]], with the population being forced to subsist on dry meal, water soup, and parsnips. Commerce, such as it was, was located at a [[Parsnip Depot|dilapidated depot]].

There was a growing, through sponsorship funds, radio station (name still unknown) which had a drama - "The Fish Was Delish Progrum", in which Sir Strong Bad already was building up his showman career.

And, though there is some debate as to whether or not Free Country was still under [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] during this time period, some residents enjoyed the occasional nip of [[Wikipedia:Alcoholic beverage|hooch]] regardless.

[[Image:Freepetrydishusa.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Home to a bunch of plucky parameciums]]

===Free Petry Dish USA===
In the email [[highschool]], Strong Bad claims that the entirety of Free Country, USA was, in the past, merely on a petri dish, with all its inhabitants being single-cell organisms. However, considering his purported "unphotographic memory", it's unlikely that such a place ever truly existed.
[[Image:planetk.png|thumb|150px|20X6 Free Country]]

===Futuristic Free Country?===

In the futuristic year [[20X6]], Free Country may or may not be one and the same as [[Planet K]], which looks much like the current Free Country. If so, Free Country will grow to feature significantly more architecture to the extent of having a full city (a quality the territory currently lacks). Nothing is yet known about the economic or political state of this ultramodern version of Free Country, though there is a significantly higher frequency of fights and challenges faced by its residents, which include various robots. They appear to be located in the same region, however, as Strong Bad buries a time capsule that is later discovered by Stinkoman.

==Estimated Real-World Location==

Viewers of Homestar Runner have variously speculated about the "real" location of Free Country, USA, though it is generally assumed [[The Brothers Chaps]] prefer to leave its location undetermined.

Each time the world is seen from space, the shape of the United States is easily recognizable. The characters speak with American accents, type with American spelling, celebrate many American [[holidays]], and make references to elements of American culture (such as its [[presidents]]). Most obvious is the fact that "USA" is in the name. On a side note, America is widely known as a "free country." Therefore, it seems safe to conclude that Free Country, USA is somewhere in America. This may be the closest one can come to determining a location for Free Country, USA, as many of the following observations are contradictory to one another.

*The scene in the [[Theme Song Video]] where Homestar runs around the planet and a star appears on a United States map would lead one to believe it's possible that Free Country is somewhere in northern Nebraska.
*In the email [[radio]], the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] radio station's call letters are given as [[Radio Stations and Shows|WSBD]], as are "Numbitty 902's" WA3D FM. Real-world radio designations would place Free Country east of the Mississippi river, although there are some historical [http://www.oldradio.com/archives/general/kwtrivia.htm exceptions].
*Free Country is likely in a northern latitude or high altitude given the snowy weather around [[Decemberween]].
*In the email [[anything]], Homestar refers to his two liter bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] as "soda", which is a term more used in the northeast and in the west. In parts of the Upper Midwest it is frequently called "pop".
*The Brothers Chaps themselves live in Atlanta, Georgia, making it possible that Free Country is located in the Southeast.
*In [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], Marzipan references baby seals and crab traps at the wharf, suggesting that Free Country is near the ocean, or at least a salt-water body.
**This might just show that there is a large lake nearby.
**This might just show that they import seals and crabs and trap them at a place called "the wharf."
*In [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]], Homestar claims he does ''not'' live in Texas.
*In the end of [[Where the Crap Are We?]], Homestar thinks he and Strong Bad are in Massachusetts, which would indicate that they are not from there.
*In [[Weclome Back]], [[Cool Tapes]] did a midwest tour, indicating that they may be from around there.
*In [[colonization]], [[Strong Bad]] and [[Bubs]] share some "cold Hardee's he had lying around", which implies that Free Country may be in the Eastern/Midwestern part of the USA (In the Western part of the US, "Hardee's" is called "Carl's Jr.").
*In the email [[keep cool]], the temperature was 98ºF, but in all the Decemberween episodes, there is snow, suggesting that Free Country is in a state where the climate varies greatly.
*In the email [[retirement]], [[Strong Bad]] tells the audience to "feast their Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes" on his show. This suggests that they might be in the Great Plains area.
*In [[Main Page 11]], Downloads shows a weather map of the eastern region of the United States, suggesting that Free Country, USA is in the eastern half of the USA.
*In [[Baddest Of The Bands]] when sending in his album cover to [[Limozeen]], [[Strong Bad]] wrote down "Staten Island...10301..." this is [[Limozeen]]'s address, as on [[baddestofthebands.com]] they were said to leave their "Staten Island home base" for the Battle Royale Of The Bands (which they didn't really leave.) This could imply that Free Country USA isn't near Staten Island, since Strong Bad is mailing the letter. Though this may not be the case.
*In [[8-Bit Is Enough]], the camera zooms out to what looks like the map from the [[Theme Song Video]], and a large explosion resonates from the center of the map, similar to the star in the Theme Song Video.
*In [[On Break]], Homestar sings to the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] freshmen that they must share a bathroom with a student from Alabama. This would indicate that Free Country is not in Alabama, assuming that CGNU is in Free Country.

== Trivia ==
*The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]] marked the first time that a character actually said the name "Free Country, USA." Homestar also said the name "Free Country, USA." in Episode 1 of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]].

'''Free Country, USA''' (also spelled '''Free Country USA''' and '''FCUSA'''), is where the [[Homestar Runner universe]] is centered. All of the [[:Category:Main Characters|main characters]] live, work, and play here.

==Geographical Features and Locations==
[[Image:The Empty Field Of Green.png|thumb|The thriving hub that is Free Country, USA]]

Free Country, USA features a verdant [[The Field|field]] that typically serves as a central link between the various features of the landscape. At the center of the field itself is [[The Stick]], which functions as a landmark and a meeting place for [[Strong Bad]] and whomever he chooses to meet there. The edge of the field is lined with what appear to be trees. They represent the edge of Free Country. Probably also somewhere in or near the field is a stream with a picturesque [[The Stone Bridge|stone bridge]]. [[Date Nite|Once]], Strong Bad and [[Homestar Runner]] rocketed their [[USS Flirtini|cardboard submarine]] backwards along this stream, ending up in a large, open body of water. This may or may not be [[The Pond|the pond]] Strong Bad and [[Coach Z]] have been seen fishing in, or the sea; [[Marzipan]] once [[Homestar Presents: Presents|mentioned]] a location she referred to as "the wharfs", featuring crab traps and trapped baby seals. Rounding out the natural features are mountains (usually seen only from a distance). The foothills of these mountains are likely located in the nearby [[Spooky Woods|woods]], as they contain at least one [[cliff]]. There is also one "hot spot", [[Carrot and Kazoo Hill]].

Specific locations in Free Country are treated with a certain ambiguity. Somewhere at the edge of The Field is the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]]; logically, [[Coach Z's locker room]] is near the Athletic Field. The kickball field seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]] is probably near or in the athletic field due to the scoreboard there. Somewhere near the Athletic Field is [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Other locations include a building containing a [[The Classroom|classroom]], used for multiple purposes by most of the characters, [[the Office]] where many of the characters work, and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], a once-popular haunt for Homestar.

The toon [[Summer Short Shorts]] features a sequence with [[Pom Pom]] that reveals that Bubs' Concession Stand, as well as a dense forest, is very near [[Strong Badia]]. A similar forest can be seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. However, the Pom Pom short depicts the forest and Bubs' with Strong Badia set in between them, whereas Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon shows Bubs' on the edge of the forest with no Strong Badia to be seen. This forest may or may not be the [[Spooky Woods]] that is usually seen at night in Halloween-themed episodes.

''[[Homestar Ruiner]]'' and [[Baddest Of The Bands]] feature a map of Free Country, USA, but eschews any sense of proper geography, in favor of allowing the player to move the various landmarks around the landscape to their liking. In [[Strong Badia the Free]], the [[King of Town]] eats Strong Bad's map, forcing him to write the names of locations in the spaces on the board for an old Maps and Minions game that was lying around in Strong Badia (In this game, locations are placed on the map by the game rather than by the player, but as Strong Bad is simply writing the names of locations on a board game, this is still not a proper map of Free Country, USA). Coincidentally, the King of Town was using his own copy of Maps and Minions Deluxe to coordinate his own forces, though his map was more advanced than Strong Bad's.

===Characters' Homes===

As with Free Country's locations, the homes of different characters do not exist in rigidly established locations. With the exception of Coach Z's locker room and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] home (which is also [[The King of Town]]'s grill and therefore always near [[The King of Town's castle]]), none of the characters' homes have a clear geographical relation to each other. This ambiguity carries over into [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], in which Strong Bad adds locations to his map at his (or more accurately, the player's) own discretion.

Some clues exist concerning this, however. In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]], Strong Bad (as Cableman Jorge) asks Marzipan to buy a "hundred-foot spool of coaxial cable" in an attempt to get free cable service; this would imply the two houses are rather close to each other. In [[The King of Town DVD Commentary]], Strong Bad claims that The King of Town does not live in the castle, but in a "run down and creepy" "two bedroom job... next door" to him, although this was probably slanderous. Also, the similar designs of the exteriors of Marzipan's and Homestar's houses may be a hint that they were built from the same blueprints, as houses within a development often are. In the email [[unnatural]], a gigantic [[Bubs]] silhouette is seen walking from a silhouette of Strong Badia to The King of Town's castle, making it in several steps. This suggests that the castle is actually very close to Strong Badia.

==Flora and Fauna==

The flora of the land is somewhat sparse. Most of Free Country's ground is covered in evenly cut grass and long rows of large green bushes. Other types of shrubs and bushes make appearances from time to time; some bushes have been known to have [[Senor Cardgage]] inexplicably emerge from them. Though trees are seldom seen in Free Country, they are usually presented as being [[Wikipedia:deciduous|deciduous]], evidenced by the barren branches seen during Free Country's autumn. Occasionally [[Wikipedia:conifer|evergreen]] trees have been shown (usually around [[Decemberween]]). Flowers are incredibly rare and have only been seen in a couple of cartoons.

Fauna is in even shorter supply. Save for the [[Sea Creatures#Fish|fish]] in the pond, a few [[Bugs|crickets]], [[bees]], a number of bats, at least one [[Fat Bluebird|bird]] (others have been heard), [[The Bug|fly]] (some were seen at other places, including the trash can in [[invisibility]]), and [[Gavin|cockroach]], plus the characters themselves, no other animal life has yet been seen in Free Country, USA.

[[The King of Town]] at one point had [[The King of Town's Sheep|sheep]]. Whether he still owns them or ate them all is open to debate. It was at one time rumored that a [[Multi-Function Dragon|dragon]] menaced the castle, but even if he really existed, a story line shows it being slain.

==Politics==
[[Image:The KoTs Castle Grand.PNG|thumb|150px|The King of Town's Castle]]
Free Country appears at first glance to be a [[Wikipedia:monarchy|monarchy]] since it is nominally ruled by [[The King of Town]]. However, since Free Country is a [[Wikipedia:municipality|municipality]] and not a kingdom, the King of Town would technically be a [[Wikipedia:lord|lord]]. However, the self-conferred sovereign's reign is not widely recognized by the populace, so Free Country could be considered to be in a state of [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]], where there is no accepted centralized government but the members of the community co-exist with loosely established rules that maintain order.

To this end, Free Country can muster a meager police force consisting of [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] to ensure that anyone engaged in [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal behavior]] (to date, only [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]) are [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|placed firmly]] in [[jail]] (a large cardboard box). Since there is no need for an army (nor a government to stand one up), Free Country has no official military. It is, however, home to the [[Homestarmy]], a meager militia that includes a [[Frank Bennedetto|popcorn machine]] and is led by Homestar Runner. The Homestarmy once attempted to conquer Strong Badia (see below), but appears to represent no cohesive political movement (other than expressing discontent stemming from "playing second fiddle to a two-bit [[wrestleman]] and his yellow dog"). The King of Town has occasionally expressed an intention to exercise actual power, going so far as to mobilize [[The Municipality|his own military force]] headed up by [[The Poopsmith]], as seen in [[disconnected]].

Besides the King's castle (which would be the seat of government if the King's rule had any legitimacy), there is a different building containing a [[smoky office]] which has been used for various purposes, including a [[The Interview|newsroom]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|police station]], and a set for the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' films.

The name and the currency used imply that this town is in the United States of America, and in [[trading cards]] Strong Bad makes reference to himself "here in the states" when addressing a Canadian writer. Yet any further details, regarding what state or town "Free Country" is in is never mentioned. They may have to pay taxes, however, as evidenced by [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and [[Arcade Game]].

===Strong Badia===
[[Image:Strongbadia.png|thumb|150px|Strong Badia]]
[[Wikipedia:Enclave|Within Free Country's borders]], the territory of [[Strong Badia]] exists as an autonomous enclave. Strong Badia has a [[flag day|flag]], a [[Strong Badia National Anthem|national anthem]], and has even had to [[The Battle of Strong Badia|defend its autonomy]] from [[Homestarmy|outside aggression]], as seen in [[army]]. Although Strong Bad said that Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army, the local gang, [[On Point Kings]], have transformed from being a simple group of guys hanging around to a band of shady <strike> missionaries</strike> mercenaries that specialize in black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op. Whether or not Strong Badia is a "real" country is open to debate, since the permanent population of Strong Badia is a [[tire]] and it's only the size of a backyard. A few email senders seem to call Free Country by this name, presumably because the characters talk about Strong Badia more often than Free Country. However, Strong Bad specifically addressed this issue in [[keep cool]], limiting the official borders of Strong Badia to the empty lot "out beyond the dumpsters". However, no dumpsters are ever shown, so that doesn't really help us in finding out where it is.

==Other Territories==

Mentioned from time to time (and seen only via the depicted map) are other territories outside Free Country. If the circuitous path of Homestar's [[In Search of the Yello Dello|journey]] to [[Potamia]] for [[The Yello Dello]] is to be believed, Free Country borders the territory of [[Far Off Lands]]. Very little, if anything, is known about these territories or their relation to Free Country, although [[Prance]] is known to make at least one [[Hairstyle Runner|Homestar Runner-related product]].

According to the original Characters page and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[The Brothers Strong]] come from a land called Parts Unknown.

Strong Bad claims to have a secret family (surnamed Mudgeman) in a community named Broiter Grove. If there is any shred of truth to this supposition, it can be assumed this community is near Free Country, USA, as Strong Bad is clearly without a working car.

==Economics==

The economics of Free Country are as ambiguous as the locations and politics of the territory. The local currency is [[Wikipedia:Federal_Reserve_notes|U.S. dollars]], although this official currency is augmented by a strong barter system that allows trade of goods and services (further suggesting that the government has no central banking power); most local commerce occurs at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Pencil shavings have been accepted by [[Bubs]] at least twice, in [[lackey]] and [[secret identity]]. Also, in a Easter Egg in [[colonization]], Homestar declares that 'Dirty [[Diapers]]' were to no longer be considered legal tender. In the email [[flag day]] a coin is visible that resembles a quarter. It is the same color, appears to be the same size, and has a face and words on both sides of it as well as words on the top and bottom of the coin. The date on it would be on the wrong side, though. The face on this coin is Strong Bad's. This implies that it is Strong Badian money, which implies Strong Badia is its own country. Strong Bad could be making this coin up because it has some of the words of the song he is currently singing printed on it. There was also a coin with a head of [[Trogdor]] on one side and his tail on another, seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]]. This somewhat suggests that Trogdor has his own type of currency, or the coin was made only for sporting events like kickball. It seems that there is some crabbing industry, as there are crab traps at the wharf (which often claim baby seals), even though this supposed wharf has never been seen, and its existence is doubted by Strong Bad in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Bubs' Concession Stand is known to accept these forms of currency:
*Cash
*Money
*Cash Money
*Pencil Shavings (added to the sign by the Cheat)
*[[Quesos]] (Strong Badian currency)
*First Born Children
*Arms/Legs
[[Image:Bubs Last Stand.PNG|thumb|150px|Bubs' Concession Stand]]

It is also unclear as to how rent or mortgages on the houses owned by Free Country residents is paid. [[Strong Bad]] mentions in [[colonization]] that he had to give [[Bubs]] his first and last month's rent deposits, but other than that, no other characters have mentioned how or when they pay rent.
===Employment===
:''Main article: [[Occupations]]''
Bubs works at his stand as a general fix-it man. He has also been seen as a mechanical worker at [[The Office]], and as a bartender at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Pom Pom]] work in some kind of an office, at least occasionally. Homestar also hosts [[The Show]]. [[Strong Bad]], in addition, had a "part, part, part, part, very part time job" as a giant [[Tragic Clown Dog]] mascot at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] in [[part-time job]]. He quit that job, however, when he realized that he needed to rush back to Marzipan's house to finish his email before the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] lost its battery charge, though it seems he was re-hired for the job in [[On Break]]. [[Strong Mad]] appears to work as a bouncer at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Coach Z]] is presumably some kind of a coach and a gym class teacher; he has also been seen working as a custodian at the office and as a [[Drive-Thru Whale|mascot]] for [[Blubb-O's]] restaurant. [[The King of Town]] employs [[The Poopsmith]] for reasons he does not care to disclose as well as a [[The Little Chef Guy|chef]], a [[The Blacksmith|blacksmith]], a [[The Hornblower|hornblower]], a [[The Cleric|cleric]], and a [[The Knight|knight]]. Marzipan, The Cheat, and Strong Mad are in a band named [[Cool Tapes]], which tours and sells "steven inches" for [[pi]] dollars. Marzipan additionally runs a kindergarten class which includes Homestar, [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Mad]]. [[Senor Cardgage]] has had several shady jobs, such as a mortgage seller, owner of an online e-niversity, operator of Shady Daycares, and lastly, with a somewhat stable job as an usher at the local [[The Movie Theater|theater]]. There is likely a Board of Health in FCUSA, as evidenced in [[Donut Unto Others]], where Strong Bad works as a health inspector. It has not been revealed whether the remaining characters have jobs.

==Free Country Through Time==

In addition to its current, contemporary depiction, Free Country has been shown in the past and possibly in the future.
[[Image:1936field.png|thumb|150px|Old-Timey Free Country]]
===Old-Timey Free Country===

In the [[Old-Timey|1930s]], Free Country was characterized by dirt roads, picket fences, carnival tents, antiquated Industrial Revolution-era factories, and even a [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|graveyard]], only the latter of which may have survived the passage of time. As with the rest of the USA during this time period, Free Country was [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|economically depressed]], with the population being forced to subsist on dry meal, water soup, and parsnips. Commerce, such as it was, was located at a [[Parsnip Depot|dilapidated depot]].

There was a growing, through sponsorship funds, radio station (name still unknown) which had a drama - "The Fish Was Delish Progrum", in which Sir Strong Bad already was building up his showman career.

And, though there is some debate as to whether or not Free Country was still under [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] during this time period, some residents enjoyed the occasional nip of [[Wikipedia:Alcoholic beverage|hooch]] regardless.

[[Image:Freepetrydishusa.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Home to a bunch of plucky parameciums]]

===Free Petry Dish USA===
In the email [[highschool]], Strong Bad claims that the entirety of Free Country, USA was, in the past, merely on a petri dish, with all its inhabitants being single-cell organisms. However, considering his purported "unphotographic memory", it's unlikely that such a place ever truly existed.
[[Image:planetk.png|thumb|150px|20X6 Free Country]]

===Futuristic Free Country?===

In the futuristic year [[20X6]], Free Country may or may not be one and the same as [[Planet K]], which looks much like the current Free Country. If so, Free Country will grow to feature significantly more architecture to the extent of having a full city (a quality the territory currently lacks). Nothing is yet known about the economic or political state of this ultramodern version of Free Country, though there is a significantly higher frequency of fights and challenges faced by its residents, which include various robots. They appear to be located in the same region, however, as Strong Bad buries a time capsule that is later discovered by Stinkoman.

==Estimated Real-World Location==

Viewers of Homestar Runner have variously speculated about the "real" location of Free Country, USA, though it is generally assumed [[The Brothers Chaps]] prefer to leave its location undetermined.

Each time the world is seen from space, the shape of the United States is easily recognizable. The characters speak with American accents, type with American spelling, celebrate many American [[holidays]], and make references to elements of American culture (such as its [[presidents]]). Most obvious is the fact that "USA" is in the name. On a side note, America is widely known as a "free country." Therefore, it seems safe to conclude that Free Country, USA is somewhere in America.

*In the email [[retirement]], [[Strong Bad]] tells the audience to "feast their Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes" on his show. This suggests that they might be in the Great Plains area.
*In [[Main Page 11]], Downloads shows a weather map of the eastern region of the United States, suggesting that Free Country, USA is in the eastern half of the USA.
*In [[Baddest Of The Bands]] when sending in his album cover to [[Limozeen]], [[Strong Bad]] wrote down "Staten Island...10301..." this is [[Limozeen]]'s address, as on [[baddestofthebands.com]] they were said to leave their "Staten Island home base" for the Battle Royale Of The Bands (which they didn't really leave.) This could imply that Free Country USA isn't near Staten Island, since Strong Bad is mailing the letter. Though this may not be the case.
*In [[8-Bit Is Enough]], the camera zooms out to what looks like the map from the [[Theme Song Video]], and a large explosion resonates from the center of the map, similar to the star in the Theme Song Video.
*In [[On Break]], Homestar sings to the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] freshmen that they must share a bathroom with a student from Alabama. This would indicate that Free Country is not in Alabama, assuming that CGNU is in Free Country.

== Trivia ==
*The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]] marked the first time that a character actually said the name "Free Country, USA." Homestar also said the name "Free Country, USA." in Episode 1 of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]].

'''Free Country, USA''' (also spelled '''Free Country USA''' and '''FCUSA'''), is where the [[Homestar Runner universe]] is centered. All of the [[:Category:Main Characters|main characters]] live, work, and play here.

==Geographical Features and Locations==
[[Image:The Empty Field Of Green.png|thumb|The thriving hub that is Free Country, USA]]

Free Country, USA features a verdant [[The Field|field]] that typically serves as a central link between the various features of the landscape. At the center of the field itself is [[The Stick]], which functions as a landmark and a meeting place for [[Strong Bad]] and whomever he chooses to meet there. The edge of the field is lined with what appear to be trees. They represent the edge of Free Country. Probably also somewhere in or near the field is a stream with a picturesque [[The Stone Bridge|stone bridge]]. [[Date Nite|Once]], Strong Bad and [[Homestar Runner]] rocketed their [[USS Flirtini|cardboard submarine]] backwards along this stream, ending up in a large, open body of water. This may or may not be [[The Pond|the pond]] Strong Bad and [[Coach Z]] have been seen fishing in, or the sea; [[Marzipan]] once [[Homestar Presents: Presents|mentioned]] a location she referred to as "the wharfs", featuring crab traps and trapped baby seals. Rounding out the natural features are mountains (usually seen only from a distance). The foothills of these mountains are likely located in the nearby [[Spooky Woods|woods]], as they contain at least one [[cliff]]. There is also one "hot spot", [[Carrot and Kazoo Hill]].

Specific locations in Free Country are treated with a certain ambiguity. Somewhere at the edge of The Field is the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]]; logically, [[Coach Z's locker room]] is near the Athletic Field. The kickball field seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]] is probably near or in the athletic field due to the scoreboard there. Somewhere near the Athletic Field is [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Other locations include a building containing a [[The Classroom|classroom]], used for multiple purposes by most of the characters, [[the Office]] where many of the characters work, and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], a once-popular haunt for Homestar.

The toon [[Summer Short Shorts]] features a sequence with [[Pom Pom]] that reveals that Bubs' Concession Stand, as well as a dense forest, is very near [[Strong Badia]]. A similar forest can be seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. However, the Pom Pom short depicts the forest and Bubs' with Strong Badia set in between them, whereas Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon shows Bubs' on the edge of the forest with no Strong Badia to be seen. This forest may or may not be the [[Spooky Woods]] that is usually seen at night in Halloween-themed episodes.

''[[Homestar Ruiner]]'' and [[Baddest Of The Bands]] feature a map of Free Country, USA, but eschews any sense of proper geography, in favor of allowing the player to move the various landmarks around the landscape to their liking. In [[Strong Badia the Free]], the [[King of Town]] eats Strong Bad's map, forcing him to write the names of locations in the spaces on the board for an old Maps and Minions game that was lying around in Strong Badia (In this game, locations are placed on the map by the game rather than by the player, but as Strong Bad is simply writing the names of locations on a board game, this is still not a proper map of Free Country, USA). Coincidentally, the King of Town was using his own copy of Maps and Minions Deluxe to coordinate his own forces, though his map was more advanced than Strong Bad's.

===Characters' Homes===

As with Free Country's locations, the homes of different characters do not exist in rigidly established locations. With the exception of Coach Z's locker room and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] home (which is also [[The King of Town]]'s grill and therefore always near [[The King of Town's castle]]), none of the characters' homes have a clear geographical relation to each other. This ambiguity carries over into [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], in which Strong Bad adds locations to his map at his (or more accurately, the player's) own discretion.

Some clues exist concerning this, however. In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]], Strong Bad (as Cableman Jorge) asks Marzipan to buy a "hundred-foot spool of coaxial cable" in an attempt to get free cable service; this would imply the two houses are rather close to each other. In [[The King of Town DVD Commentary]], Strong Bad claims that The King of Town does not live in the castle, but in a "run down and creepy" "two bedroom job... next door" to him, although this was probably slanderous. Also, the similar designs of the exteriors of Marzipan's and Homestar's houses may be a hint that they were built from the same blueprints, as houses within a development often are. In the email [[unnatural]], a gigantic [[Bubs]] silhouette is seen walking from a silhouette of Strong Badia to The King of Town's castle, making it in several steps. This suggests that the castle is actually very close to Strong Badia.

==Flora and Fauna==

The flora of the land is somewhat sparse. Most of Free Country's ground is covered in evenly cut grass and long rows of large green bushes. Other types of shrubs and bushes make appearances from time to time; some bushes have been known to have [[Senor Cardgage]] inexplicably emerge from them. Though trees are seldom seen in Free Country, they are usually presented as being [[Wikipedia:deciduous|deciduous]], evidenced by the barren branches seen during Free Country's autumn. Occasionally [[Wikipedia:conifer|evergreen]] trees have been shown (usually around [[Decemberween]]). Flowers are incredibly rare and have only been seen in a couple of cartoons.

Fauna is in even shorter supply. Save for the [[Sea Creatures#Fish|fish]] in the pond, a few [[Bugs|crickets]], [[bees]], a number of bats, at least one [[Fat Bluebird|bird]] (others have been heard), [[The Bug|fly]] (some were seen at other places, including the trash can in [[invisibility]]), and [[Gavin|cockroach]], plus the characters themselves, no other animal life has yet been seen in Free Country, USA.

[[The King of Town]] at one point had [[The King of Town's Sheep|sheep]]. Whether he still owns them or ate them all is open to debate. It was at one time rumored that a [[Multi-Function Dragon|dragon]] menaced the castle, but even if he really existed, a story line shows it being slain.

==Politics==
[[Image:The KoTs Castle Grand.PNG|thumb|150px|The King of Town's Castle]]
Free Country appears at first glance to be a [[Wikipedia:monarchy|monarchy]] since it is nominally ruled by [[The King of Town]]. However, since Free Country is a [[Wikipedia:municipality|municipality]] and not a kingdom, the King of Town would technically be a [[Wikipedia:lord|lord]]. However, the self-conferred sovereign's reign is not widely recognized by the populace, so Free Country could be considered to be in a state of [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]], where there is no accepted centralized government but the members of the community co-exist with loosely established rules that maintain order.

To this end, Free Country can muster a meager police force consisting of [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] to ensure that anyone engaged in [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal behavior]] (to date, only [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]) are [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|placed firmly]] in [[jail]] (a large cardboard box). Since there is no need for an army (nor a government to stand one up), Free Country has no official military. It is, however, home to the [[Homestarmy]], a meager militia that includes a [[Frank Bennedetto|popcorn machine]] and is led by Homestar Runner. The Homestarmy once attempted to conquer Strong Badia (see below), but appears to represent no cohesive political movement (other than expressing discontent stemming from "playing second fiddle to a two-bit [[wrestleman]] and his yellow dog"). The King of Town has occasionally expressed an intention to exercise actual power, going so far as to mobilize [[The Municipality|his own military force]] headed up by [[The Poopsmith]], as seen in [[disconnected]].

Besides the King's castle (which would be the seat of government if the King's rule had any legitimacy), there is a different building containing a [[smoky office]] which has been used for various purposes, including a [[The Interview|newsroom]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|police station]], and a set for the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' films.

The name and the currency used imply that this town is in the United States of America, and in [[trading cards]] Strong Bad makes reference to himself "here in the states" when addressing a Canadian writer. Yet any further details, regarding what state or town "Free Country" is in is never mentioned. They may have to pay taxes, however, as evidenced by [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and [[Arcade Game]].

===Strong Badia===
[[Image:Strongbadia.png|thumb|150px|Strong Badia]]
[[Wikipedia:Enclave|Within Free Country's borders]], the territory of [[Strong Badia]] exists as an autonomous enclave. Strong Badia has a [[flag day|flag]], a [[Strong Badia National Anthem|national anthem]], and has even had to [[The Battle of Strong Badia|defend its autonomy]] from [[Homestarmy|outside aggression]], as seen in [[army]]. Although Strong Bad said that Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army, the local gang, [[On Point Kings]], have transformed from being a simple group of guys hanging around to a band of shady <strike> missionaries</strike> mercenaries that specialize in black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op. Whether or not Strong Badia is a "real" country is open to debate, since the permanent population of Strong Badia is a [[tire]] and it's only the size of a backyard. A few email senders seem to call Free Country by this name, presumably because the characters talk about Strong Badia more often than Free Country. However, Strong Bad specifically addressed this issue in [[keep cool]], limiting the official borders of Strong Badia to the empty lot.

==Other Territories==

Mentioned from time to time (and seen only via the depicted map) are other territories outside Free Country. If the circuitous path of Homestar's [[In Search of the Yello Dello|journey]] to [[Potamia]] for [[The Yello Dello]] is to be believed, Free Country borders the territory of [[Far Off Lands]]. Very little, if anything, is known about these territories or their relation to Free Country, although [[Prance]] is known to make at least one [[Hairstyle Runner|Homestar Runner-related product]].

According to the original Characters page and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[The Brothers Strong]] come from a land called Parts Unknown.

Strong Bad claims to have a secret family (surnamed Mudgeman) in a community named Broiter Grove. If there is any shred of truth to this supposition, it can be assumed this community is near Free Country, USA, as Strong Bad is clearly without a working car.

==Economics==

The economics of Free Country are as ambiguous as the locations and politics of the territory. The local currency is [[Wikipedia:Federal_Reserve_notes|U.S. dollars]], although this official currency is augmented by a strong barter system that allows trade of goods and services (further suggesting that the government has no central banking power); most local commerce occurs at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Pencil shavings have been accepted by [[Bubs]] at least twice, in [[lackey]] and [[secret identity]]. Also, in a Easter Egg in [[colonization]], Homestar declares that 'Dirty [[Diapers]]' were to no longer be considered legal tender. In the email [[flag day]] a coin is visible that resembles a quarter. It is the same color, appears to be the same size, and has a face and words on both sides of it as well as words on the top and bottom of the coin. The date on it would be on the wrong side, though. The face on this coin is Strong Bad's. This implies that it is Strong Badian money, which implies Strong Badia is its own country. Strong Bad could be making this coin up because it has some of the words of the song he is currently singing printed on it. There was also a coin with a head of [[Trogdor]] on one side and his tail on another, seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]]. This somewhat suggests that Trogdor has his own type of currency, or the coin was made only for sporting events like kickball. It seems that there is some crabbing industry, as there are crab traps at the wharf (which often claim baby seals), even though this supposed wharf has never been seen, and its existence is doubted by Strong Bad in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Bubs' Concession Stand is known to accept these forms of currency:
*Cash
*Money
*Cash Money
*Pencil Shavings (added to the sign by the Cheat)
*[[Quesos]] (Strong Badian currency)
*First Born Children
*Arms/Legs
[[Image:Bubs Last Stand.PNG|thumb|150px|Bubs' Concession Stand]]

It is also unclear as to how rent or mortgages on the houses owned by Free Country residents is paid. [[Strong Bad]] mentions in [[colonization]] that he had to give [[Bubs]] his first and last month's rent deposits, but other than that, no other characters have mentioned how or when they pay rent.
===Employment===
:''Main article: [[Occupations]]''
Bubs works at his stand as a general fix-it man. He has also been seen as a mechanical worker at [[The Office]], and as a bartender at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Pom Pom]] work in some kind of an office, at least occasionally. Homestar also hosts [[The Show]]. [[Strong Bad]], in addition, had a "part, part, part, part, very part time job" as a giant [[Tragic Clown Dog]] mascot at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] in [[part-time job]]. He quit that job, however, when he realized that he needed to rush back to Marzipan's house to finish his email before the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] lost its battery charge, though it seems he was re-hired for the job in [[On Break]]. [[Strong Mad]] appears to work as a bouncer at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Coach Z]] is presumably some kind of a coach and a gym class teacher; he has also been seen working as a custodian at the office and as a [[Drive-Thru Whale|mascot]] for [[Blubb-O's]] restaurant. [[The King of Town]] employs [[The Poopsmith]] for reasons he does not care to disclose as well as a [[The Little Chef Guy|chef]], a [[The Blacksmith|blacksmith]], a [[The Hornblower|hornblower]], a [[The Cleric|cleric]], and a [[The Knight|knight]]. Marzipan, The Cheat, and Strong Mad are in a band named [[Cool Tapes]], which tours and sells "steven inches" for [[pi]] dollars. Marzipan additionally runs a kindergarten class which includes Homestar, [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Mad]]. [[Senor Cardgage]] has had several shady jobs, such as a mortgage seller, owner of an online e-niversity, operator of Shady Daycares, and lastly, with a somewhat stable job as an usher at the local [[The Movie Theater|theater]]. There is likely a Board of Health in FCUSA, as evidenced in [[Donut Unto Others]], where Strong Bad works as a health inspector. It has not been revealed whether the remaining characters have jobs.

==Free Country Through Time==

In addition to its current, contemporary depiction, Free Country has been shown in the past and possibly in the future.
[[Image:1936field.png|thumb|150px|Old-Timey Free Country]]
===Old-Timey Free Country===

In the [[Old-Timey|1930s]], Free Country was characterized by dirt roads, picket fences, carnival tents, antiquated Industrial Revolution-era factories, and even a [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|graveyard]], only the latter of which may have survived the passage of time. As with the rest of the USA during this time period, Free Country was [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|economically depressed]], with the population being forced to subsist on dry meal, water soup, and parsnips. Commerce, such as it was, was located at a [[Parsnip Depot|dilapidated depot]].

There was a growing, through sponsorship funds, radio station (name still unknown) which had a drama - "The Fish Was Delish Progrum", in which Sir Strong Bad already was building up his showman career.

And, though there is some debate as to whether or not Free Country was still under [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] during this time period, some residents enjoyed the occasional nip of [[Wikipedia:Alcoholic beverage|hooch]] regardless.

[[Image:Freepetrydishusa.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Home to a bunch of plucky parameciums]]

===Free Petry Dish USA===
In the email [[highschool]], Strong Bad claims that the entirety of Free Country, USA was, in the past, merely on a petri dish, with all its inhabitants being single-cell organisms. However, considering his purported "unphotographic memory", it's unlikely that such a place ever truly existed.
[[Image:planetk.png|thumb|150px|20X6 Free Country]]

===Futuristic Free Country?===

In the futuristic year [[20X6]], Free Country may or may not be one and the same as [[Planet K]], which looks much like the current Free Country. If so, Free Country will grow to feature significantly more architecture to the extent of having a full city (a quality the territory currently lacks). Nothing is yet known about the economic or political state of this ultramodern version of Free Country, though there is a significantly higher frequency of fights and challenges faced by its residents, which include various robots. They appear to be located in the same region, however, as Strong Bad buries a time capsule that is later discovered by Stinkoman.

==Estimated Real-World Location==

Viewers of Homestar Runner have variously speculated about the "real" location of Free Country, USA, though it is generally assumed [[The Brothers Chaps]] prefer to leave its location undetermined.

Each time the world is seen from space, the shape of the United States is easily recognizable. The characters speak with American accents, type with American spelling, celebrate many American [[holidays]], and make references to elements of American culture (such as its [[presidents]]). Most obvious is the fact that "USA" is in the name. On a side note, America is widely known as a "free country." Therefore, it seems safe to conclude that Free Country, USA is somewhere in America. This may be the closest one can come to determining a location for Free Country, USA, as many of the following observations are contradictory to one another.

*The scene in the [[Theme Song Video]] where Homestar runs around the planet and a star appears on a United States map would lead one to believe it's possible that Free Country is somewhere in northern Nebraska.
*In the email [[radio]], the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] radio station's call letters are given as [[Radio Stations and Shows|WSBD]], as are "Numbitty 902's" WA3D FM. Real-world radio designations would place Free Country east of the Mississippi river, although there are some historical [http://www.oldradio.com/archives/general/kwtrivia.htm exceptions].
*Free Country is likely in a northern latitude or high altitude given the snowy weather around [[Decemberween]].
*In the email [[anything]], Homestar refers to his two liter bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] as "soda", which is a term more used in the northeast and in the west. In parts of the Upper Midwest it is frequently called "pop".
*The Brothers Chaps themselves live in Atlanta, Georgia, making it possible that Free Country is located in the Southeast.
*In [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], Marzipan references baby seals and crab traps at the wharf, suggesting that Free Country is near the ocean, or at least a salt-water body.
**This might just show that there is a large lake nearby.
**This might just show that they import seals and crabs and trap them at a place called "the wharf."
*In [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]], Homestar claims he does ''not'' live in Texas.
*In the end of [[Where the Crap Are We?]], Homestar thinks he and Strong Bad are in Massachusetts, which would indicate that they are not from there.
*In [[Weclome Back]], [[Cool Tapes]] did a midwest tour, indicating that they may be from around there.
*In [[colonization]], [[Strong Bad]] and [[Bubs]] share some "cold Hardee's he had lying around", which implies that Free Country may be in the Eastern/Midwestern part of the USA (In the Western part of the US, "Hardee's" is called "Carl's Jr.").
*In the email [[keep cool]], the temperature was 98ºF, but in all the Decemberween episodes, there is snow, suggesting that Free Country is in a state where the climate varies greatly.
*In the email [[retirement]], [[Strong Bad]] tells the audience to "feast their Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes" on his show. This suggests that they might be in the Great Plains area.
*In [[Main Page 11]], Downloads shows a weather map of the eastern region of the United States, suggesting that Free Country, USA is in the eastern half of the USA.
*In [[Baddest Of The Bands]] when sending in his album cover to [[Limozeen]], [[Strong Bad]] wrote down "Staten Island...10301..." this is [[Limozeen]]'s address, as on [[baddestofthebands.com]] they were said to leave their "Staten Island home base" for the Battle Royale Of The Bands (which they didn't really leave.) This could imply that Free Country USA isn't near Staten Island, since Strong Bad is mailing the letter. Though this may not be the case.
*In [[8-Bit Is Enough]], the camera zooms out to what looks like the map from the [[Theme Song Video]], and a large explosion resonates from the center of the map, similar to the star in the Theme Song Video.
*In [[On Break]], Homestar sings to the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] freshmen that they must share a bathroom with a student from Alabama. This would indicate that Free Country is not in Alabama, assuming that CGNU is in Free Country.

== Trivia ==
*The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]] marked the first time that a character actually said the name "Free Country, USA." Homestar also said the name "Free Country, USA." in Episode 1 of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]].

Homestar Runner and Bubs's Relationship

2009-11-22T21:16:01Z

LittleWonderFish: added a fact about Homestar + Bubs getting along ("and 16 cents as ya change")

[[File:Homestar Bubs Conflict.png|thumb|"I'm ''delighted'' you've decided to set up shop about ''ten feet away'' from me!"]]
'''[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]]'s relationship''' is often a good and steady friendship. Homestar usually talks to Bubs nicely while buying from or just hanging out at his [[Bubs' Concession Stand|concession stand]]. Rarely have these two gotten into arguments, unless it was personal.

==Homestar Runner and Bubs getting along/working together==
*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] — Homestar is seen talking to Bubs while buying at the concession stand before [[Halloween]] night begins. Apparently Bubs even gave him a free sixteen cents.
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — Homestar turns in [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] for trying to break into Bubs' Concession Stand.
*[[Bug In Mouth Disease]] — Homestar asks Bubs to help find the bug that he swallowed. Looking inside Homestar's mouth, Bubs concludes that Homestar has no pancreas, so he has a fresh one for sale, just in case.
*[[Senorial Day]] — Homestar helps out on Bubs' Senorial Day commercials.
*[[Cool Things]] — Homestar attempts to buy paint and cool shades from Bubs, who replies that he closed due to cutbacks and layoffs. Bubs then proceeds to "stick it to the man" and gives Homestar the items free of charge. Bubs later exchanges the cool shades for "something of lesser or much lesser value", which was a bag of four grapes.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — Bubs would give Homestar a ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon. In the epilogue, Homestar would complement Bubs' costume.
*[[Fall Float Parade]] — Homestar tries to guard the Concession Stand while Bubs performs in the parade, but [[Strong Mad]] still manages to steal it. Homestar then attempts to substitute a small [[cardboard box]] for Bubs' recently ripped-off-the-ground concession stand, hoping Bubs won't know the difference.
*[[No Hands on Deck!]] — Bubs was intrigued by Homestar's idea of building a deck and goes to buy lots of [[melonade]] for the both of them to celebrate all summer long.
*[[Ever and More!]] — Homestar allows Bubs to present the jetski he bought for the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]].
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — Bubs attends Homestar's victory party at the [[House of the Brothers Strong]].
*[[A Death-Defying Decemberween]] — Bubs becomes a part of Homestar's holiday special and presents to him a small sled with a pre-printed gravestone epitaph on it, in case Homestar dies from the [[Steep Deep]].
*[[Donut Unto Others]] — Homestar tries to be friendly with Bubs about the whole doughnut business.

==Homestar Runner and Bubs in conflict==
*[[The Best Decemberween Ever]] — Homestar questions Bubs' decision to sell [[Strong Sad]] voodoo dolls.
*[[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] — Bubs helps Strong Bad, [[Strong Mad]] and The Cheat trick Homestar into buying them drinks. Homestar intends that the fourth drink would be for him, but Bubs took it before Homestar comes back. Later on, after Homestar admits he was lying about seeing what was that "thing in a bag," Bubs accosts him for it.
*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] — Homestar brags that he could get a million pounds of candy while trick-or-treating, but Bubs is unimpressed by it. At [[Marzipan's House]], Bubs laughs at Homestar for getting [[whatsit|"bum candy"]] from [[The Poopsmith]].
*Email [[lunch special]] — Homestar is pretty much sure that Bubs is lying about himself being able to fly.
*[[Bug In Mouth Disease]] — Homestar is annoyed by Bubs not paying attention about the "good times" and questions him about being an unethical quack, to which responds that he was the most "quackinest."
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — Bubs would give Homestar low grade items for either singing a ''terrible'' sing or giving out the ''worst'' Reagan impression Bubs ever heard. In the epilogue, Homestar mistakes Bubs' costume as Lando Calrissian. After Bubs corrects himself as being the "Master of Disaster," Homestar warns The Poopsmith to "get ready."
*[[Date Nite]] — Homestar is shocked to hear that [[Marzipan]] is having a date with Bubs.
*Email [[licensed]] — Bubs sells Homestar a Strong Bad piñata full of broken glass from the black market, which made Homestar start bleeding, though he was too ignorant to get upset about it.
*[[A Death-Defying Decemberween]] — Homestar seems annoyed at Bubs' joke of not knowing about the show, which was currently on air. He then gets nervous when Bubs presents the gravestone epitaph on the sled.
*[[Donut Unto Others]] — Bubs both metaphorically and ''literally'' gets steamed to see that Homestar has set up a competing doughnut place, [[Do-Nots]], about ten feet away from his concession stand. Homestar thought Bubs was still selling questionable medical coverage before setting up shop, but that was two hours ago. Bubs intends to outdo Homestar at the 3:09 pm doughnut rush before and when [[The King of Town]] arrives to buy something, but Homestar seems less competitive. After Strong Bad attacks Homestar, Bubs sneaks out the back of the concession stand with triumph.
*[[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]] — After becoming Puppet Homestar's pile manager; Puppet Bubs betrays Puppet Homestar when Puppet Strong Bad claims the pile for himself, replying "Sorry Piles, I got my own styles." However, Puppet Bubs becomes Strong Bad's pile manager afterwards.

Race Track

2009-11-17T22:51:19Z

LittleWonderFish: Added facts about contests held at track

[[Image:racetrack.png|thumb|"A dark day for track and field."]]
[[Image:Track5-7.png|thumb|left|Five, six, and seven.]]
The '''[[Wikipedia:Race track|Race Track]]''' is where the characters exercise on occasion. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], the First Triannual Race to the End of the Race is held there, as well as the Halfathalon in [[8-Bit is Enough]]. There is also a "Million Yard Dash" that is held here, as mentioned by [[Strong Bad]] in [[disconnected]]. It is located in [[The Field]], and next to Coach Z's 'lacker room'. The track's number of lanes varies. While most often there are 3 lanes visible marked 5-7 (seen in [[autobiography]], [[disconnected]], [[montage]], and [[Coach Z's 110%]]) in [[mile]] there were 4 lanes marked 1-4; in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]] there are 4 unmarked lanes; and in Homestar Ruiner there are 7 unmarked lanes visible, while eight is standard. In mile and Homestar Ruiner, there were stadium stands on the side of the track.

LittleWonderFish: correction to Strong Bad's nonexistant GF - "we'll never see her again"

[[Image:blangcaster.png|thumb|Of course he's real! It says so right there in his name!]]

Many times, objects or people are specifically (and often awkwardly) described as '''real or actual''' when it's plainly obvious that they are not.

==Examples==
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]] — [[Strong Bad]] insists that [[Strong Bad's Ladies|his girlfriend]] is real, over and over again.
*Email [[credit card]] — The writers of the email "promise that [they] are real and not just trying to steal [Strong Bad's] money."
*Email [[50 emails]] — [[Homestar Runner]] posts a fake error message after crashing the [[Compy 386]]. The error message's title bar reads "This is real."
**[[The System is Down]], [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], and [[Main Page 22]] — Similar fake error messages to the above appear with "This is real" in the title bar.
*Email [[unused emails]] (Easter egg) — [[Bubs]]' spam message insists "THIS IS NOT A JOKE!! THIS IS REAL!!!"
*Email [[autobiography]] — Strong Bad specifically notes that the description of his alleged girlfriend was a ''true'' part...although he could very well be referring to when he says "and I'll never see her again. And neither will any of you."
*Email [[technology]] (Easter egg) — Bubs advertises wireless extensions cords as being "lightweight, existent, and shockproof!"
*Email [[senior prom]] — Strong Bad's fake answering machine (an alarm clock with a cassette on top of it) has a sign reading, "an answering machine (trust me)".
*[[Decemberween Short Shorts]] — [[Coach Z]] tells Homestar Runner that he's having "all kinds of real people over to [his] house for a coupla real people parties."
*Email [[diorama]] — Strong Bad's book, a "real book that exists", is allegedly written by "Ronmartin Realdude" (who insists that he is "a living, breathing person, not a cat") and printed by the "Actual Publishing Company". Coach Z talks to "Ronmartin Realdude" via a notepad with a cell phone drawn on it.
*[[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]] — [[The Homestar Runner]] receives an "honest telegram" from [[The Sneak]].
*Email [[shapeshifter]] — When Strong Bad asks Bubs, "How much for that Lamborghini hot tub you got back there?" Bubs answers, "Oh, ''that'' Lamborghini hot tub! It sure is back here!"
*Email [[imaginary]] — Strong Bad claims that Coach Z had an imaginary friend named "Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door".

LittleWonderFish: userpage details; being nitpicky

Hello peoples!!!
 
Hey, I'm getting okay at HTML! Finally! I'm a girl who bears a strikng resemblance to What's Her Face from TGS (the dark hair, un"popular"ity, way of attracting the romantic interest of annoying boys, often the baggy pants, the strange friends, magnetic forcefield with built-in possum attractor...oh wait, never mind). But also So and So's imaginary friends and unbelievably chipper outlook on life. I am nothing like Cheerleader. No. Basically, I'm a dork who has a good time making fun of anyone who is mean to me (so watch yout backs, hecklers). Oh, and I have wicked crane machine skills.

*I've been following homestarrunner.com for eight million years (give or take). My brother showed me and my OTHER brother the site when I was, say...seven? Eight? Nine? Well, a little person. I admit I was expecting the site to have a kid on a skateboard on the main page. Huh.
*As you have obviously noticed, my username is LittleWonderFish. That's basically 'cause I like swimming, and Lake Erie happens to be one of my top 20 places in the universe. Not other lakes though. At my camp, we have a lake that we HAVE to take BORING and UNINFORMATIVE and NO-WORKY swim lessons in in the cold water first thing in the morning. After two years of this I have learned absolutely nothing. Hey, be glad, hecklers: the original idea was LadyWonderSquid.
*If, when frequenting the internettzorz, you see someone with the username LittleWonderFish, TheWarnerSister, DmitraBlue, or The1928Girl, chances are that's me.
*I love Marzipan (a snarky hippie with a considerable resistance to death...like me!), Bubs (he's one shady, shady character), Strong Bad (he still has not answered my email, though), and Strong Sad (look how cute he is. Awwwww).
*I am just a smidge too creative for my own good. I make my own earrings, knit, write, draw cartoons, and will someday be either the treasured gem at a greeting card company, or a cartoonist who makes very little money but makes people smile. At present however, I have absolutely no clue what to do for my Girl Scout project, and I'm pretty sure The Effects of Gasoline on Fire is not going to get me the Silver Award.
*Basically what I do around here is do little nitpicky detaily things to existing articles. I've seen literally every toon on the site and will make little corrections that annoy the heck out of you. I'm sorry, folks, just doing my job as a kid with too much free time and a crazy-good memory.
*I can speak Homsar! If I met him on the street, I'd say "Why's down, Father Christmas? I'm the large flan at your flailed sense factory."
 
==Top Ten Randomsillyjunk!!!==
'''Quotes (in no particular order)'''
 
*14. "''Judith'' is making me get a job at ''Shirt Folding Store''."
*13. "Oh is that your liver? Well here's my fist!"
*12. "Do you see me as a one-legged puppy?"
*11. "The eagle is in the pantry!"
*10. "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date."
*9. "My brothers are GALACTICALLY INCAPABLE of friend-have."
*8. "Are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?"
*7. "Well, lucky for you, I got this previously owned box of chick'n beaks in just now! Like, right JUST NOW!"
*6. "Coach Z, are you accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman?"
*5. "Stay outta my or-fice!" "EW! Please never say that again!"
*4. "Positate without pizzaz and jam!"
*3. "No way, Dog. No way, Bubs. My face doesn't know the meaning of unrecognizable clump!"
*2. "You see, Strong Bad? What the the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has his face and head."
*1. "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior...!"

What the crap? That was fourteen! Eh. Whatever.
 
'''Shady Things Bubs has Done'''
*10. Burnt Exhibit A.
*9. Told Homestar he had no pancreas.
*8. Ran the Black market behind the Conscession Stand.
*7. Become an unlicsensed unlicsensed seller.
*6. Given one flavor of donut over a hundred names.
*5. Given Homestar questionable medical coverage.
*4. Tried to sell Exhibit B.
*3. Ended up in federal prison, then got time off for snitchy behavior.
*2. Shown the world just how terrifying he is when he's angry.
*1. Hung out with COACH Z!!!!! (cowers)
And despite it all, he still looks squishy and huggable. And he can dance!
 
'''Awesome Stuff Marzipan Has Done'''
*10. Stopped Coach Z from freestyling about his teeth.
*9. Worn combat boots AND a purple dressthing.
*8. Hit Strong Bad on the head with Carol.
*7. Written a peaceful protest song about wind and exploding heads.
*6. Drowned in the abyss and lived to say a serene outgoing answering machine message about it.
*5. Started a band because her boyfriend graffiti'd her wall.
*4. Entered Homestar in a pet show.
*3. Made her eyelashes visible/invisible at will.
*2. Survived a possible wolf attack...
*1. ...while glued to Homsar.

==Strong Bad Email Ideas?==
These are just some silly carp (yeah, you read that right) that I think should TOTALLY be in a SBemail.
 
* Truth or Dare! (actually sent this email)
* What were your childhood pets?
* Have you ever made greeting cards?
 
==100 Grand Finale==
 
Last thoughts. The most fabulosified things in the HR universe. The 100 is there just because...well, I like the candy bar. Got a problem?
 
*Dangeresque. Particularly the SBCG4AP episode. "LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUUUUMP!"
*All of SBCG4AP. Particularly episodes 3 and 4. 5's ending was disappointing, but it was a great premise, and 1 and 2 were just getting warmed up. Second season, pleeeease!
*Lowercase i's.
*That song "The Cheat is Not Dead". When I was little I used to be obsessed with this song. Also "A Jorb Well Done".
*Looney Tunes references. Man I love cartoons.
*The DNA Evidence!
*Gavin.
*Carol.
*The Show.
*The museum. Check out those ice pops!
*Cheat Commandos. Cheat Commandos...O's. Crack Stuntman. Silent Rip. Crackotage. The Topplegangers. The Ramshankle. Reynold. And Blue Laser Commander's Nana.
*TROGDOOOORRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! (dahn dahn dah, dunh dunh dah, dunh dunh dah danh duhn dahn duhn dah dah!)
 
See you rooouunnnndddd, Brown!

Has Matt?

2009-09-26T16:25:33Z

LittleWonderFish: Added an idea to the Has Matt? team page

[[Image:hasmatt.png|thumb|100px|The Has Matt? team at work.]]
'''Has Matt?''' is the [[Wikipedia:HAZMAT|HAZMAT]] ('''Haz'''ardous '''Mat'''erials) "team" called to hose down [[Strong Bad]] after he made a slit in his [[The Couch|couch]] that emanated a stench of "biblical proportions" in [[couch patch]].

The team seems to consist entirely of [[The Poopsmith]], wearing a blue hazmat suit labeled "HAS MATT?" He wields a [[garden hose]] with which to hose down any persons exposed to dangerous chemicals and/or stenches.

The "team" may be named after [[Matt Chapman]].

*I've been following homestarrunner.com for eight million years (give or take). My brother showed me and my OTHER brother the site when I was, say...seven? Eight? Nine? Well, a little person. I admit I was expecting the site to have a kid on a skateboard on the main page. Huh.
*As you have obviously noticed, my username is LittleWonderFish. That's basically 'cause I like swimming, and Lake Erie happens to be one of my top 20 places in the universe. Not other lakes though. At my camp, we have a lake that we HAVE to take BORING and UNINFORMATIVE and NO-WORKY swim lessons in in the cold water first thing in the morning. After two years of this I have learned absolutely nothing. Hey, be glad, hecklers: the original idea was LadyWonderSquid.
*I love Marzipan (a snarky hippie with a considerable resistance to death...like me!), Bubs (he's one shady, shady character), Strong Bad (he still has not answered my email, though), and Strong Sad (look how cute he is. Awwwww).
*I am just a smidge too creative for my own good. I make my own earrings, knit, write, draw cartoons, and may someday by the treasured gem at a greeting card company. At present however, I have absolutely no clue what to do for my Girl Scout project, and I'm pretty sure The Effects of Gasoline on Fire is not going to get me the Silver Award.
*I can speak Homsar! If I met him on the street, I'd say "Why's down, Father Christmas? I'm the large flan at your flailed sense factory."
 
==Top Ten Randomsillyjunk!!!==
'''Quotes (in no particular order)'''
 
*14. "''Judith'' is making me get a job at ''Shirt Folding Store''."
*13. "Oh is that your liver? Well here's my fist!"
*12. "Do you see me as a one-legged puppy?"
*11. "The eagle is in the pantry!"
*10. "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date."
*9. "My brothers are GALACTICALLY INCAPABLE of friend-have."
*8. "Are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?"
*7. "Well, lucky for you, I got this previously owned box of chick'n beaks in just now! Like, right JUST NOW!"
*6. "Coach Z, are you accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman?"
*5. "Stay outta my or-fice!" "EW! Please never say that again!"
*4. "Positate without pizzaz and jam!"
*3. "No way, Dog. No way, Bubs. My face doesn't know the meaning of unrecognizable clump!"
*2. "You see, Strong Bad? What the the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has his face and head."
*1. "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior...!"

What the crap? That was fourteen! Eh. Whatever.
 
'''Shady Things Bubs has Done'''
*10. Burnt Exhibit A.
*9. Told Homestar he had no pancreas.
*8. Ran the Black market behind the Conscession Stand.
*7. Become an unlicsensed unlicsensed seller.
*6. Given one flavor of donut over a hundred names.
*5. Given Homestar questionable medical coverage.
*4. Tried to sell Exhibit B.
*3. Ended up in federal prison, then got time off for snitchy behavior.
*2. Shown the world just how terrifying he is when he's angry.
*1. Hung out with COACH Z!!!!! (cowers)
And despite it all, he still looks squishy and huggable. And he can dance!
 
'''Awesome Stuff Marzipan Has Done'''
*10. Stopped Coach Z from freestyling about his teeth.
*9. Worn combat boots AND a purple dressthing.
*8. Hit Strong Bad on the head with Carol.
*7. Written a peaceful protest song about wind and exploding heads.
*6. Drowned in the abyss and lived to say a serene outgoing answering machine message about it.
*5. Started a band because her boyfriend graffiti'd her wall.
*4. Entered Homestar in a pet show.
*3. Made her eyelashes visible/invisible at will.
*2. Survived a possible wolf attack...
*1. ...while glued to Homsar.

==Strong Bad Email Ideas?==
These are just some silly carp (yeah, you read that right) that I think should TOTALLY be in a SBemail.
 
* Truth or Dare! (actually sent this email)
* What were your childhood pets?
* Have you ever made greeting cards?
 
==100 Grand Finale==
 
Last thoughts. The most fabulosified things in the HR universe. The 100 is there just because...well, I like the candy bar. Got a problem?
 
*Dangeresque. Particularly the SBCG4AP episode. "LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUUUUMP!"
*All of SBCG4AP. Particularly episodes 3 and 4. 5's ending was disappointing, but it was a great premise, and 1 and 2 were just getting warmed up. Second season, pleeeease!
*Lowercase i's.
*That song "The Cheat is Not Dead". When I was little I used to be obsessed with this song. Also "A Jorb Well Done".
*Looney Tunes references. Man I love cartoons.
*The DNA Evidence!
*Gavin.
*Carol.
*The museum. Check out those ice pops!
*Cheat Commandos. Cheat Commandos...O's. Crack Stuntman. Silent Rip. Crackotage. The Topplegangers. The Ramshankle. Reynold. And Blue Laser Commander's Nana.
*TROGDOOOORRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! (dahn dahn dah, dunh dunh dah, dunh dunh dah danh duhn dahn duhn dah dah!)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Why are you so mean to the guy with 
the big white face and gray body? 
 
Jen C from Millbrae , CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "Dear Strong Bad" in a slightly high-pitched voice}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second.

''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is she talking about Marzipan?

''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, her head is... more like a baseball bat.

''{types run "bu-hubs"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion.

''{types run "undabite"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar's got the white head, but... his body's just kinda that red skirt. (''Laughs a little'')

''{types run "no-neck"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body.

''{types run "dacheese"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me.

''{types run "mr.smith"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like... on one of those old black and white monitors.

''{types run "[[b/w]]"; it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff... Oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser.

''{Cut to a screen of the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." with the wristwatch cursor on the screen. Then cut to The Field, where Strong Sad is standing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing...

''{Strong Bad starts walking past Strong Sad with a cake behind his back}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggidy-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm... you're the wiggidy-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm... a single deuce? Dooj? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... cake for the Poopsmith? Dooj? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make The Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, now reading "Another while later..." Cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of [[whatsit]]. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings.

''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh... I'm—I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel. The end is on a loop, so he does this about every 10 seconds}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:50cake.PNG|thumb|"Enjoy the cake."]]
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out [[Physiology of The Cheat|his physiology]].
*At the end you can click on a bit of whatsit on The Poopsmith's shovel to [[Miscellaneous Downloads|download]] those Mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what it looks like. You can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. The toppings are added in this order: fortune cookies, Chinese food (which looks like it might be [[General Tso's Chicken]]), [[grapes]], [[Wikipedia:Golden Grahams|Golden Grahams]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]], ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**The cake Easter egg will not work on some computers, probably because the cake is stored in a separate Flash file.
**The cake reads: ''Sorry I threw that 1st cake at Strong Sad.'' There is a ''you'' that points at a caricature of the Poopsmith. There is a ''me'' that points to a caricature of Strong Bad.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake said, "Hey!! Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the closeup) says, "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper." ''(also see Inside References)''
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#world games|world games]]".

===Remarks===
*It's strange that Strong Bad says he's been hard on The Poopsmith, since in [[your friends]], he says he didn't harm The Poopsmith because, on account of The Poopsmith's profession, "his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof."
*In the part where Strong Bad says, "Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second...," he's actually typing it, meaning he's sending a reply. Unless he was thinking out loud, he should have said "you", not "she".
*Even though Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]], he covers the area where his nose would be had he had one when he says "It really stinks over here..."
*Strong Bad's theory that Jen C.'s monitor may not have been calibrated correctly can be applied to make [[Homestar Runner]] a viable person to apologize to as well as the Poopsmith and Strong Sad, and, were he to have continued, [[Homsar]], [[Coach Z]], [[the King of Town]], [[The Hornblower]], and many others.
*Strong Sad says, "Finally my comeuppance has arrived!", but normally comeuppance would mean consequences for something you did wrong.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's reflection is covered by the pictures.
*Strong Sad's reflection isn't affected by contrast change.
*The bottom of Strong Sad's reflection is cut off early at the Compy.
*If the contrast is changed before the Mac desktop comes up, then the Mac desktop appears blue instead of grey.

===Inside References===
*"Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper" ''(see [[#Trivia|Trivia]])'' is The Cheat's continued apology for ruining the [[caper]].
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back, he says the Single Deuce, which is [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".
*The Cheat's photo shows him smoking a pipe, as per his [[Smoking#The Cheat's smoking|nicotine habit]] seen in [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]] His addiction is later revisited in [[montage]].
*When Strong Bad types out Marzipan's name ("M4RZ1P4N"), it is written in a form of [[Internet Slang|leet]].
*The Poopsmith's second cake is another example of a [[concoction]].
*In the Easter egg, the final addition to the cake includes the candle shaped as a 50, which was previously used on the cake in [[50 emails]].
**The whole cake at the end, and all its toppings, is a [[Real-Live Foods|live-action food]].

===Real-World References===
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "Compy 386," and there's an icon on the black and white [[Wikipedia:Apple Macintosh|Mac]] desktop that says "Compy 086." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]], the first 16-bit processor introduced by [[Wikipedia:Intel|Intel]]. Of course, Macs of that vintage ran on [[Wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processors, not Intel processors. It may be inferred that Strong Bad was using either a screen simulator or fast-loading OS emulator because the OS is at the desktop immediately after Strong Bad's keystroke and is not shown booting.
**One explanation of the "Compy 086" designation is that with the introduction of the 68020 processor, Motorola's processors were sometimes referred to by dropping the "68" and abbreviating their names to their last three digits - Macs were said to run on "020", "030" and "040" processors. It is reasoned that that is where the "0" in "086" may have come from in this email.
**However, it should be noted that Apple officially pronounced the processor lines by their full generation names and by spelling out all the numbers in the names individually, (i.e. "six-eight-oh-two-oh, six-eight-oh-three-oh, six-eight-oh-four-oh"). Many Mac users followed that or a similar full pronunciation of the processor generation names (the other popular variant being "six-eighty-twenty, six-eighty-thirty, six-eighty-forty"), although for convenience the triple digit abbreviation was sometimes used in third-party product literature. In other words, the aforementioned triple digit abbreviation was not officially used by Apple to refer to the processors, nor was it necessarily used by many users.
*The Mac desktop shown is most likely of a version of System 6 with Multi-Finder enabled, hence the application menu on the top right. It may be a release of System 5 instead, but that is unlikely since System 5 was replaced relatively quickly by System 6. However, it is clearly not a version of System 7 since, although it looked similar to its predecessors in B&W mode, the menubar lacks the Balloon Help icon found in System 7.
*The Mac desktop has a floppy disk icon that reads [[Wikipedia:The Manhole|"The Manhole,"]] one of the first computer games by [[Wikipedia:Cyan Worlds|Cyan]], the company that would go on to make [[Wikipedia:Myst|Myst]].
*Visible on the Mac's menu bar are a closed pair of eyes from the old Mac shareware program MyEyes. These eyes would open to follow the cursor around and blink periodically.
*The Apple desktop has [[Wikipedia:Karateka|Karateka]] on it, a [[Wikipedia:Karate|karate]] combat game developed by [[Wikipedia:Jordan Mechner|Jordan Mechner]] in 1984. Karateka was popular in the 1980s, so we may again infer that this Macintosh environment is very old.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad will later have a similar chant in the email [[funny]].

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs are still viewable using either the angle button on your DVD remote or pressing down to find the bad graphics Strong Bad at the end of the email.

*Visible on the Mac's menu bar are a closed pair of eyes from the old Mac shareware program MyEyes. These eyes would open to follow the cursor around and blink periodically.
*The Apple desktop has [[Wikipedia:Karateka|Karateka]] on it, a [[Wikipedia:Karate|karate]] combat game developed by [[Wikipedia:Jordan Mechner|Jordan Mechner]] in 1984. Karateka was popular in the 1980s, so we may again infer that this Macintosh environment is very old.

LittleWonderFish: details

Hello peoples!!!
 
Hey, I'm getting okay at HTML! Finally! I'm a girl who bears a strikng resemblance to What's Her Face from TGS (the dark hair, unpopularity, often the baggy pants, magnetic forcefield with built-in possum attractor...oh wait, never mind). But also So and So's imaginary friends and unbelievably chipper outlook on life. I am nothing like Cheerleader. No. Basically, I'm a dork who has a good time making fun of anyone who is mean to me (so watch yout backs, hecklers). Oh, and I have wicked crane machine skills.

*I've been following homestarrunner.com for eight million years (give or take). My brother showed me and my OTHER brother the site when I was, say...seven? Eight? Nine? Well, a little person. I admit I was expecting the site to have a kid on a skateboard on the main page. Huh.
*As you have obviously noticed, my username is LittleWonderFish. That's basically 'cause I like swimming, and Lake Erie happens to be one of my top 20 places in the universe. Not other lakes though. At my camp, we have a lake that we HAVE to take BORING and UNINFORMATIVE and NO-WORKY swim lessons in in the cold water first thing in the morning. After two years of this I have learned absolutely nothing. Hey, be glad, hecklers: the original idea was LadyWonderSquid.
*I love Marzipan (a snarky hippie with a considerable resistance to death...like me!), Bubs (he's one shady, shady character), Strong Bad (he still has not answered my email, though), and Strong Sad (look how cute he is. Awwwww).
*I am just a smidge too creative for my own good. I make my own earrings, knit, write, draw cartoons, and may someday by the treasured gem at a greeting card company. At present however, I have absolutely no clue what to do for my Girl Scout project, and I'm pretty sure The Effects of Gasoline on Fire is not going to get me the Silver Award.
*I can speak Homsar! If I met him on the street, I'd say "Why's down, Father Christmas? I'm the large flan at your flailed sense factory."
 
==Top Ten Randomsillyjunk!!!==
'''Quotes (in no particular order)'''
 
*10. "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date."
*9. "My brothers are GALACTICALLY INCAPABLE of friend-have."
*8. "Are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?"
*7. "Well, lucky for you, I got this previously owned box of chick'n beaks in just now! Like, right JUST NOW!"
*6. "Coach Z, are you accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman?"
*5. "Stay outta my or-fice!" "EW! Please never say that again!"
*4. "Positate without pizzaz and jam!"
*3. "No way, Dog. No way, Bubs. My face doesn't know the meaning of unrecognizable clump!"
*2. "You see, Strong Bad? What the the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has his face and head."
*1. "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior...!"
 
'''Shady Things Bubs has Done'''
*10. Burnt Exhibit A.
*9. Told Homestar he had no pancreas.
*8. Ran the Black market behind the Conscession Stand.
*7. Become an unlicsensed unlicsensed seller.
*6. Given one flavor of donut over a hundred names.
*5. Given Homestar questionable medical coverage.
*4. Tried to sell Exhibit B.
*3. Ended up in federal prison, then got time off for snitchy behavior.
*2. Shown the world just how terrifying he is when he's angry.
*1. Hung out with COACH Z!!!!! (cowers)
And despite it all, he still looks squishy and huggable. And he can dance!
 
'''Awesome Stuff Marzipan Has Done'''
*10. Stopped Coach Z from freestyling about his teeth.
*9. Worn combat boots AND a purple dressthing.
*8. Hit Strong Bad on the head with Carol.
*7. Written a peaceful protest song about wind and exploding heads.
*6. Drowned in the abyss and lived to say a serene outgoing answering machine message about it.
*5. Started a band because her boyfriend graffiti'd her wall.
*4. Entered Homestar in a pet show.
*3. Made her eyelashes visible/invisible at will.
*2. Survived a possible wolf attack...
*1. ...while glued to Homsar.
 
Iff'n you are not be's-ing the understandment of my weirdly ways, young grasshopper, kindly do not fear. Even I am not be's-ing the understandment somethetimes.

*I've been following homestarrunner.com for eight million years (give or take). My brother showed me and my OTHER brother the site when I was, say...seven? Eight? Nine? Well, a little person. I admit I was expecting the site to have a kid on a skateboard on the main page. Huh.
*As you have obviously noticed, my username is LittleWonderFish. That's basically 'cause I like swimming, and Lake Erie happens to be one of my top 20 places in the universe. Not other lakes though. At my camp, we have a lake that we HAVE to take BORING and UNINFORMATIVE and NO-WORKY swim lessons in in the cold water first thing in the morning. After two years of this I have learned absolutely nothing. Hey, be glad, hecklers: the original idea was LadyWonderSquid.
*I love Marzipan (a snarky hippie with a considerable resistance to death...like me!), Bubs (he's one shady, shady character), Strong Bad (he still has not answered my email, though), and Strong Sad (look how cute he is. Awwwww).
*I am just a smidge too creative for my own good. I make my own earrings, knit, write, draw cartoons, and may someday by the treasured gem at a greeting card company. At present however, I have absolutely no clue what to do for my Girl Scout project, and I'm pretty sure The Effects of Gasoline on Fire is not going to get me the Silver Award.
*I can speak Homsar! If I met him on the street, I'd say "Why's down, Father Christmas? I'm the large flan at your flailed sense factory."
 
==Top Ten Randomsillyjunk!!!==
'''Quotes (in no particular order)'''
 
*10. "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date."
*9. "My brothers are GALACTICALLY INCAPABLE of friend-have."
*8. "Are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?"
*7. "Well, lucky for you, I got this previously owned box of chick'n beaks in just now! Like, right JUST NOW!"
*6. "Coach Z, are you accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman?"

Lack of Visible Body Parts

2009-09-06T16:24:06Z

LittleWonderFish: Details

Many [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters '''lack certain body parts''' that most people in the real world would have. Despite this, they can still do the things that everyday people are capable of. However, they do take note of their unusual structures.

== Arms ==
[[Image:Armlesssleeve.PNG|thumb|Homestar's invisible arms?]]
{{seemain|Lack of Visible Arms}}

A number of characters (most notably [[Homestar Runner]]) do not appear to have visible arms, but are commonly seen manipulating objects as though they had limbs. This is sometimes called out directly by various characters, and occasional references are made to this fact. The specific method by which "armless" characters can manipulate objects and their surroundings has never been fully revealed.

{{clear}}

== Coach Z's Face ==
[[Image:Horrendousspitter.PNG|thumb|Horrendous Spitter]]
Various references are made to parts of [[Coach Z]]'s face that are not visible to the viewer:

*[[The Best Decemberween Ever]] — Coach Z is seen drinking mouthwash.
*[[A Jorb Well Done]] — When [[Marzipan]] is trying to teach Coach Z how to say "job", she tells him to make his mouth into an "O". Coach Z also blows his whistle.
*[[The Luau]] — Coach Z, [[Bubs]], and [[Pom Pom]] are seen eating marshmallows. (Pom Pom also does not appear to have a mouth, and Bubs's mouth appears to be a solid wall of teeth.)
*Email [[couch patch]] — Coach Z [[Puking|pukes]] in the couch rip.

*[[Sbemail 150?!?]] — [[Strong Sad]] mentions wanting to pour black coffee over Coach Z's head so it "continually streams down his mouthless face". (This later happens in an [[alternate universe]] Easter egg.)

*Email [[cliffhangers]] — [[The Thnikkaman]] tells Coach Z "I'll render you toothless!"
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] — Besides a round nose, a mouth on Coach Z's face is present in the "storyboards".

{{clear}}

== Strong Bad's Nose ==
[[Image:Strongbad sunscreen.PNG|thumb|Sunscreen!]]

[[Image:Marzipan With Boot.png|thumb|"Well, don't tell anybody, but... I don't really have legs."]]
While sometimes Marzipan does not appear to have legs, a few other toons claim otherwise.

*[[Kick-A-Ball]] — Marzipan is shown kicking the ball with a visible boot, but nothing attached to the boot, which implies that her legs are invisible. In fact, the area beneath the "skirt" is slightly visible, and nothing is seen underneath.

{{clear}}

== Ears ==
[[Image:Strong Sad with iPod.PNG|thumb|"I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about Sibbie."]]

*[[The Hornblower]] can play a fanfare despite the fact he lacks a visible mouth.

{{charnav|Marzipan|marzy|Pom Pom|Coach Z}}
[[Image:NewestMarzipan.png|thumb|The only girl]]

{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|marzipan}}

== Biography ==
'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl|the only female character]] among the [[Characters#Main Characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, with her elongated head a pinkish color. Her eyes consist of two black circles of [[Mismatched Eyes|two different sizes]]. Her mouth is usually seen in a slight curve. She wears her hair in a bright yellow ponytail, (although in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]], she claims that blonde is not her true hair color, suggesting that she [[Wikipedia: Hair coloring|dyes]] it), and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons, along with a matching hair band. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not appear to have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. She is voiced by [[Missy Palmer]] and is one of the few characters not voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].

[[Image:Marzipan 3D variation.PNG|thumb|"Is that 3D eco-frendly?"]]
Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|girlfriend]] (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for [[date]] that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage). Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their dating no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, and gone out with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]] in [[Date Nite]], some of which were due to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. Other such times involve Homestar's unintentional mean streak; he has even been known to show feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all this, she is very kind and is friends with almost everyone (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she really doesn't like Strong Bad at all{{ref|1}}), such as when she helped [[Strong Sad]] make baklava while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|Strong Bad was in jail]]. With Marzipan being the only girl as well as Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|on-again, off-again girlfriend]], Strong Bad tends to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0|assert his autonomous romantic life]] to her [[senior prom|(as well as to other characters)]] to assuage his ego. It's possible that Strong Bad has an unrequited crush on Marzipan expressed through his immature antics, although he has indicated [[date nite|his disgust for her]] in the past.

[[Image:Marzysign.png|thumb|left|"I'm off to the Chinchilla protest."]]
[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt"{{ref|2}}. She is a strict vegetarian — she especially enjoys [[tofu]] and other soy products (though in the email [[coloring]] she teaches that "soy is also murder") — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes [[Marzipan's Protest Signs|protest signs]] to express her views on issues of varying and personal interest.

[[Image:Marzycouchslouch.png|thumb|Marzipan relaxes]]
Marzipan has been mistaken for a baseball bat, a bell, and a broom. A rip in her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that her body may actually be shaped like a bell. By contrast, many emails, such as [[secret recipes]], [[date]], [[secret identity]] and [[keep cool]], show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[big white face]], Strong Bad mentions that her head is like a baseball bat. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[highschool]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like [[Wikipedia: Daphne Blake|Daphne]] from [[Wikipedia: Scooby-Doo|Scooby-Doo]], but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true. Though she is often mistaken for such distinctly shaped objects, Strong Bad refers to Marzipan as "[[Wikipedia:Human|human]]" in [[retirement]].

Marzipan has a tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, she talks to her guitar, [[Carol]], asks [[Strong Sad]] to help resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], and once names an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]", proceeding to treat it as though it were a small child. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] from [[The Luau]] and [[The Cheat]]'s costume from the email [[do over#Easter Eggs|do over]]. Also, in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different entities, including a strange clone of herself. Upon such instances, Marzipan tends to show more affection to (and quite possible ''receives'' more positive attention ''from'') these pseudo-Homestars than she does her real boyfriend. It is unclear if this reflects a desire to change or replace her current beloved, although she believes her relationship with Homestar has always been open{{ref|3}}.

Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh yeah yeah]]". She has also teamed up with both The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady_fan|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a cult-like "[[School|kindergarten]]" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and [[Homsar]]. In [[DNA Evidence]], it is said that she is allergic to pecans. She also takes a Toga-Yoga class, which is led by Bubs.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:grinning marzipan.png|thumb|Yes, she does have teeth.]]
*The [[Old Characters Page]], now in the [[museum]], said The King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] have since reported in interviews (such as [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]]) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
**In the [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview]], this [[Inconsistencies Within the Homestar Runner Universe|inconsistency]] was explained as a [[wikipedia:Retcon|retcon]]. When asked about the "rumors" of Marzipan being the King of Town's daughter, Marzipan herself replied that, "Those allegations are completely false. The King was trying to make himself look better by association. That poor man. That poor fat, filthy man."
*[[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds.
*In an interview with Wired magazine, Missy Palmer said that Marzipan started out as a hippie, but over time her personality has changed to match Missy's own.
*The character page title is a reference to Marzipan's song "Oh yeah yeah" from the email [[marzipan]].
*According to Strong Bad, Marzipan is allergic to pecans.
*Marzipan has a cousin named Debra whom Strong Bad said he considered hot in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
*As revealed in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], she has apparently had "questionable" surgery to have her nose removed.
*In [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], Homestar refers to Marzipan's mother as "Mrs. Marzipan", and implies that she is frequently divorced. Marzipan says her latest stepfather is named Seth and works in a "philosophy department", presumably at a university.
*Marzipan's only known visible body part is her head, and [[Kick-A-Ball]] reveals that none of her limbs are visible.
*Strong Bad says that Mazipan has a "considerable resistance to death" in [[origins]], even after being spray-painted and super-glued to Homsar.
