== Easter Eggs ==
*During the toon, there are three links in the black area below the video. The text is the same color as the background (Click and drag to highlight.) They say "[[HR:puppet1.jpg|lookit me!]]", "[[HR:puppet2.jpg|no, me!]]", and "[[HR:puppet3.jpg|whu bout me?]]". Click on them and you'll get some behind-the-scenes photos. (Note: To access this easter egg you must be watching the full page version of the toon, not the popup version from the website. The full page version is linked to at the bottom of the page.)

== Fun Facts ==
*The glasses worn by Puppet Homestar are the "cool glasses" worn by [[Strong Bad]] as [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] in [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]].
*This was originally called "Whoa! Puppets", and then "Puppet Thing", and now "Everybody Knows It".
*Homestar's song is a parody of public service shorts that ran during Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980s.
*This song was actually heard in [[labor day]] first.
*This was first put up as a Quicktime video, and then later as a Flash file, so people who didn't have Quicktime didn't need to install it.
*In the easter egg photos, the baseboards and windows seem to have blue painter's tape where they meet the wall, perhaps the walls were recently painted.
*When Homestar turns and leaves at the end of the video, you can see that the puppet has eyes on only one side, which means [[The Brothers Chaps]] must have two puppets, with eyes on either side.

At [http://www.flashplayer.com Flashplayer.com], there is a movie entitled [http://www.flashplayer.com/animation/metroidconfusion.html "Metroid Confusion"], and at the beginning there are three computers and one has the H*R page displayed on its monitor.

Also when you see them talking about how Samus is defenceless without her suit zoom in on the second shelf a book is the Homestar Runner enters the Strongest Man in the World contest. Also, also on that shelf is a book that's titled "Gelatinous Eyebrows." The word [[Glossary#G|gelatinous]] is possibly a reference to [[kids' book]], in which you could possibly construe those tilde (~) looking things as eyebrows.

Also, in [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/210716 Metroid Confusion Part 2], if you right-click, one option is "Send Trogdor to my House", and at the end of the movie, if you click on the fine-print giving homestarrunner.com some credit, you will see a funny Homestar-Metroid crossover. They also mention "E3 20X6". In addition to all of that, if you watch the commentary, it mentions that he got the inspiration for the "Claymation Simulator" from Strong Mad's Doug the Dino, in strong bad email [[the facts]]. Also in Fox Mcloud's arwing, there is a book called "TROGDOR The musical". The back (or front?) of the book reads, "[T]he Burninator himself [s]tars in his first-ever musical [t]hat won three Academy [a]wards and a couple of [fr]ee coffees at Starbucks. [E]xperience the magic, the [ma]gesty, the consummate V's!" (The word fragments in the square brackets are letters that I guessed because they weren't showing. Also, '[http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=majesty majesty]' is incorrectly spelled 'magesty' on the book.)

=== ''La La La'' ===
In this random animation, [http://http://www.flashplayer.com/music/lalala_movie.php La La La], Homestar is sighted very often, and Strong Bad actually sings the song! It is under the music section.

In the upper right you can see the carrot shaped thing from the sketchbook on the Coach Z page.

===Gary Brolsma Dot Net===
On [http://www.garybrolsma.net garybrolsma.net] (A site dedicated to the Numa Numa song star) there is an animation of Strong Bad lip syncing to Dragostea Din Tei. [http://www.sitesled.com/members/shafer/sbma.html here ]

High Score [http://www.highscoreonline.adiversions.com/episode4.html Episode 4] has a Parents Day spectacular, with "special guest star" [[What's Her Face]]. Later in a newspaper montage one of the subtitles says "Strong Sad Still A Loser."

=== ''Bonus Stage'' ===
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage8.html episode 8], there is a passing reference to Strong Bad making video games. This episode came out not long after the email [[video games]], so that's probably what it refers to.
*In [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/155306 episode 9], Joel dies and goes to hell. Phil and Elly then die so they can rescue him, and while there, they meet Strong Bad, Homestar, and Coach Z. Apparently, Strong Bad got sick of the 'boxing glove emails' and jumped into a lake of fire, and Homestar and Coach Z followed. After they rescue Joel, Phil starts typing on a Compy 386 about how Bubs won the race, and Strong Sad shows up. (This episode was later removed, then changed in order to avoid legal trouble.)
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage11.html episode 11], Joel says he wants to move to Atlanta where "the cartoon people" live. He is probably referring to [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage19.html episode 19], there is a rather long easter egg in which Joel and Phil try to prank call some people. One of their targets is Strong Bad... or is it?

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email, and away from the doors.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: a sticky question...</div>
Dear Strong bad,<br />
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the<br />
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and<br />
making rendezvous?<br />
<br />
Luke, Eau Claire, WI</blockquote>

''{he tries to pronounce 'rendezvous' plural, as 'rendezvouuuu-ses?', and the bottom line as 'Luke-- eww...Claire...why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button, too?

''{cut to a young Strong Bad's birthday; a sign reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome! ''{he revs the drill}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Cut to Original Book style. Señor and Mr. Bland stand in flat greenness, and Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{a red Stand falls on them with a splurt!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' said Bubs.

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity ''{misspelt, but pronounced correctly}'' about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! Er, ''{deletes up to the 'p'}'' plague!

''{cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' A bread is a good time for me, woo-oo-doo singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals for the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, is swinging a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

''{At this point, Homestar's face has a red chain mark from being hit}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clapping; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}'' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAT GRACE!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marzipan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some neva-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spraypainting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{cut to Marzipan standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head, at night; a wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to Hhh-Homsar...and left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' AAAaaaAAh'm the human wedgie! ''{His hat falls and lands on Marzipan's dress}''

''{Homestar marches in, holding a loaf of bread}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' ... don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. ''{Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs' ''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat behind Bubs' Concession Stand with the muffler and pipe, and a crown with 'On Point' spraypainted on the wall}'' and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We di'n't take no guff from nobody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephanté?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts at powering of drill}'' Waah! No sir! Heck no at all! ''{runs away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws drill away}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a nail file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walks in with a blue dunce cap on for some reason}'' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{nods his hat}'' Doink doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. {''a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (not typed)}'' D-Don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on "Eau Claire, WI" to view [[Beverly Sportsinterviews]]' book ''Ewww..Claire!! Why???''
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (if we don't count [[Modestly Hot Homsar]]). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on your point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*This is the first time Señor's full name (Señor Havin' A Little Trouble) is revealed on the website (though it had been mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[flashback]].)
*Even though in the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the sign above the window reads "STAND", during the first appearance of said concession stand ([[Where My Hat Is At?]]), the sign reads "CANDY".
*If you look closely at Strong Mad's silhouetted shape, you can see an outline of the front of Strong Mad.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has trouble with the pronunciation of the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'', which is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*"Eau Claire" means "Clear Water" in French; the correct pronunciation of "eau" is "oh".
*In the Bread Sing-Alongs CD, the picture of Homestar blinks. This is due to his Flash "movie clip" symbol, which makes him blink automatically in a looped animation.
* The "Come on and Sing" sign was not in the animation the first few days. It was added sometime after a week.
*Strong Bad spelled curiosity the British way, "curiousity."

===Inside References===
*We last saw the smashed muffler in [[no loafing]].
*Homestar peeking out behind the bread concealing his eyes at the end of his first bread sing-along song is a long-time running joke that whenever his eyes are concealed or closed, he has to move them so he can see you. Other examples are [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[A Holiday Greeting]], and [[Cool Things]].
* Strong Bad was last "On Point" in the "[[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]]," which is the game from the email [[date]].
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and [[Tompkins]] wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]. Also, Little Strong Bad's voice is very similar to that of Tompkins.
*The electric drill sound effect was last heard in [[privileges]] as The Cheat earned a new rewards point.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is a reference to the automated voice systems commonly used on subway trains.
*The sound that the drill makes is closer to the sound of a compressed-air powered tool, rather than an electric drill.
*When Señor and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in [[Wikipedia:The_Wizard_of_Oz_%281939_movie%29|The Wizard of Oz]] when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author for children and young adults.
*The name "[[On Point Kings]]" and the crown graffiti are references to the [[Wikipedia:Latin Kings|Latin Kings]], a famous street gang that originated in Chicago. Since members of the Latin Kings are traditionally Hispanic, this is in keeping with Strong Bad's vaguely Mexican heritage.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among travelling artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is /mol-a-'''skeen'''-a/.
*"Harry Elephante" is a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]]. A similar joke was made in the ''Friends'' episode entitled "The One After The Super Bowl," when Ross (David Schwimmer) mentions that his monkey's favorite toy is named "Harry Elephante".
*"Van Peebles" is a reference to the filmmakers [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]] (known for ''[[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]]'') and his son [[Wikipedia:Mario Van Peebles|Mario Van Peebles]].
*Where "bread sing-alongs" is green and jittering, this could be a reference to the Nintendo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie, where when a character said something 'disgusting' those particular words would jiggle in that fashion.
*Strong Bad's line "that's some never-forgive action right there" is a direct quote from Min One in the graffiti documentary [[Wikipedia:Style Wars|Style Wars]].
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the '80s metal band Dokken, whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."
