Oh triple dang muffins, you found my page!

Here's some tidbits about my relationship with homestarrunner.com:

----

*My favorite sbemail is [[virus]].
*The first sbemail I remember actually watching was [[coloring]], specifically the pressed bunsen crayons.
*If it wasn't for Strong Sad being a walking HRWiki, Strong Bad looking up Annonymous Contributor, and Cybershell talking about how this wiki is cool, I doubt I would even know about this site, let alone register my own account.
*Beat every episode of [[SBCG4AP]] thanks to my cousin!!.
*I have a bacon number of 7.

I should probably figure out formatting more.

Graffiti Wall

2023-08-04T17:27:49Z

NinHenry: /* Appearances */ Edited some iffy grammar.

[[Image:HipHopDanceWall.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Listen to the words of the Graffiti Wall]]
In the [[Homestar Runner universe]], there is a red brick '''[[graffiti]] covered wall'''. While it is possible that these are actually different walls, it is likely that they are different renderings of the same wall. The wall seems to be disconnected from any known location within [[Free Country, USA]], as there is a sidewalk (or asphalt in one rendering) running along the wall that has not been seen outside of the appearances of the graffiti wall.

==Appearances==
*[[Dancin' Bubs]] {{--}} One of the backgrounds is a red brick wall tagged with the word [[PRANCE]]. The ground in front of the wall seems to be asphalt.
*[[A Jorb Well Done]] {{--}} A red brick wall tagged with the word Job is seen. There is a sidewalk running along the side of the wall.
*[[New Boots]] {{--}} A [[Powered by The Cheat]] red brick wall is seen first behind the word Dance and then tagged with the Neb-1 along with a picture of [[Nebulon]]. Again there is a sidewalk running along side of the wall.

How do you type with boxing gloves on?

2023-07-09T01:05:59Z

NinHenry: /* Appearances */ Added desc. for the sbemail fingers, might be a little redundant/doesn't fit the rest of the article.

[[Image:compy 386 side view.png|thumb|I don't see any fingers; do ''you'' see any fingers?]]

''From [[Run Devil Run Interview|an interview with Run Devil Run]]:''
<blockquote>
'''C. NEUTRON:''' What are [Strong Bad Emails] like on the whole?<br>
'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' There's a lot of repetition. People can't seem to get over how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on.<br>
'''[[MIKE CHAPMAN]]:''' For the most part they are not very interesting. About 80% of them ask how he can type so fast with boxing gloves on.
</blockquote>

'''"How do you type with boxing gloves on?"''' and its variants are questions that [[Strong Bad]] is asked on a regular basis in his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have made its repetition into a [[running gag]]: Strong Bad hates this question, and it is often [[DELETED]].

An [[Easter egg]] in [[Hremail 7]] showed the first time Strong Bad had to type, asking himself this question. [[The Cheat]] cuts him off with some "smart thinking", suggesting that he is responsible for coming up with Strong Bad's mysterious typing method.

[[Image:Typing with gloves on.PNG|thumb|Clickety clack clack]]
From what little that has been seen, it seems Strong Bad merely presses his gloved hands upon the keyboard just as any typist would, and the appropriate keys are pressed and depressed without interference. Interestingly, [[dullard]] shows that Strong Bad types with his thumbs facing up, as if he were touching the keys with the bottoms of his fists. He is similarly shown to be able to play a piano, in [[rock opera]]. Indeed, Strong Bad is capable of typing precisely by striking the keyboard with any part of his body. In [[sisters]], he types "head—hit—keyboard" by striking the keyboard with his head, and in [[funny]], he types "WOAH!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!" by hitting the keyboard with his foot. In [[tape-leg]] and [[crying]] he is able to type complete sentences with only one hand. [[fingers|At one point]], Strong Bad tried using prosthetic fingers (made of various items such as [[prawns]] and action figure limbs) which had a disastrous effect on his typing skills. However, in [[morning routine]], he was able to type successfully with a [[Potate]] bag covering his right hand.

This running gag extends to variations of Strong Bad. [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] is frequently asked the similar question, "How do you manage the [[Supra Modern Telegram|telegramophone]] whilst wearing gentleman's sport gloves?" In the email [[high school]], [[Teenage Character Variations#Teenage Strong Bad|Teenage Strong Bad]] plays the keyboard in [[The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries]], even though he doesn't have fingers.

A similar question that gets asked often is how characters like [[Homestar Runner]] are able to pick things up [[Lack of Visible Arms|without having any arms]].

This question has been addressed a few times directly by the Brothers Chaps. In the [[video games#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for the email [[video games]], they consider the possibility of coming up with a good answer to the question. During public appearances in [[Alamo Drafthouse - 10 Jun 2005|2005]] and [[ROFLCon - 26 Apr 2008|2008]], Matt (in character as Strong Bad) jokingly threatened to kill fans who asked how he typed with boxing gloves. In February 2006, the brothers included this question as one of five topics which will likely [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|never be addressed in a Strong Bad Email]].

==Appearances==

*Email [[independent]] {{--}} Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad Email Intros|intro]] rap is about how he prefers to click prompts, and typing them "made [his] boxing gloves sick".
*Email [[videography]] {{--}} Strong Bad refers to checking emails with boxing gloves on as "the sweet computer science."
*[[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018]] {{--}} The question was asked during the Q&A section. [[Puppet Strong Bad]] complained that his {{w|Rider (theater)|rider}} forbade asking about his boxing gloves, but demonstrated his ability by flailing around Matt's keyboard.
