== Recap ==<br />
''This was originally posted on It's dot com's talk page. He realizes, however, that he will not be able to give this one a good answer for a few days, and doesn't want Kookykman to have to wait that long. Therefore, he is moving the question here to a more public place where anyone can address it.''<br />
<br />
Can I get a recap (no need to be brief, I have time) of the things that have happened here since the start of December? The wiki seems very different after my short break. o_0 - {{User:Kookykman/sig}} 02:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Indeed. Probably the most easily summed-up change was [[HRWiki:A History#Guestbooks|The Tale of the Guestbooks]]. Aside from that, we gained some regularly-editing members and lost others. <s>I'll let It's dot com</s> elaborate, elucidate, expatiate, illustrate, lucubrate, and/or corroborate. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:23, 15 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Well, I never liked guestbooks anyway. So good riddance, I say! Also, I've noticed the blurry and insanely hard to read letter codes for annonys... Who left? Who came? (I feel like an idiot asking all these questions, when I used to be Mr. In-The-Loop. =P) - {{User:Kookykman/sig}} 20:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::Among others, Bubsty left. For, like, a year... Others have come. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::::And the blurry letters, a.k.a. "Captcha," are the upshot of the NSMC event (I believe you were around for that, right?), verifying that anonnys are actually real human beings. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::Yeah, I was around for NSMC, but these numbers are a little ''too'' blurry and twisty, even by usual website twisty and blurry standards. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}} 21:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Where's the New Weeklies on the WIki??? February 16, 2006 ==<br />
<br />
I was just on the official H*R website and its got new weeklies. The wiki hasn't posted it yet and I don't know how to add it.<br />
I thought this site was so we didn't have to go onto the official site to look for updates.<br />
:Yes, but we don't have superhuman speed. It usually takes a few minutes for it to update along with the site, and a few hours to finish a new toon's page. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 00:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It's correct that it takes time, because last year, I got on the official website and watched Happy Fireworks at about 9:00 A.M., and had to create the wiki page for it, so it's a good thing we have so many contributors. -Penguindude<br />

== Napoleon Dynamite is a Homestar Rip-Off?? ==<br />
<br />
I have this theory, that Napoleon Dynamite is a live-action rip-off of the homestar runner universe and characters. I've posted my evidence / conspiracy theory here: http://andrew.hicox.com/?article_id=97 what do you guys think? am I crazy?<br />
<br />
:I believe that you have several good points in your post, but that would just have to be a major conspiracy. The Brothers Chaps could sue for hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm afraid it's probably just a coincidence. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Tell TBC and see what they think about it--{{User:Benol/sig}} 14:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The entire post is completely opinionated. While there are good points, like Lapper said, I don't think anyo of it bears any resemblence to Homestar Runner. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 16:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:nope, its just completely off base.... {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
== QOTW == <br />
should the quote of the week be attributed to the character who made it, ie bubs? {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Vandalism of other wikis ==<br />
<br />
This is notice that vandalism of other wikis in the name of the Homestar Runner Wiki will not be tolerated. Anyone found vandalizing another wiki in our name will be blocked on this wiki for a duration at least as long as if the vandalism had occurred here. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:00, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
: I apologize greatly for what I have done in the past, and I accept full responsibility for what I did. It seems that I may have started a trend of wiki-vandalism, And I also apologize greatly for that. Since I trolled ''before'' this rule wa made, I kind of have a loophole out of this, but I would not mind spending the time off anyway. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:: Look, you do not need to reply to every discussion out there. Sometimes, you can let things just speak for themselves. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:This is User:Revidnioc on the Wikicities server, and I don't like this trend. A troll has made several usernames on the Pikmin wiki and they seem to copy each other, one of them being "HRwiki.com is bhghbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb" or something like that. Is this the troll trend?<br />
<br />
== Just a little question. ==<br />
<br />
Can blocked users still ''read'' the wiki? Just wondering.--{{User:Benol/sig}} 21:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::They can also patrol edits and fix stuff on their preferences. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:44, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Bit 'o firsthand knowledge, eh? I didn't think of patrolling edits. Thanks Seriously. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::Wow, I didn't know that... that's an interesting "feature" of mediawiki. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::Firsthand knowledge. ''Not'' a good time in my life. Hehehe...{{User: Seriously/sig}}<br />
::::::If it's the same as Wikipedia, they can also post on their own talkpages, at least in some cases. {{User:Granola/sig}} 03:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Two great ideas ==<br />
<br />
I have two great ideas.<br />
<br />
1. We should list how many frames each toon is.<br />
2. We should have a category for toons and emails with commercials in them.<br />
<br />
What do you think? {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 18:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I don't think the number of frames in a toon is really notable. I know of at least one case where it is, and it's noted [[Not the 100th Email!!!#Remarks|in the respective article]]. As for commercials, that's not something we would have a category for.&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::It's also noted in [[500 The Cheats]], since counting the frames means counting The Cheats. Besides those two special cases, Running Time pretty much covers the burning question - which toon's longer. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:And regarding #2, I don't think, unless the toon actually ''is'' a commercial, it's very useful. But it could be a useful category for such commercials, such as [[Meet Marshie]]. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 21:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::There are lots I can thing of, such as [[Meet Marshie]] (as mentioned 'bove), [[Cheat Commandos...O's]], [[Cheat Commandos]], [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]] (sort of), and [[Strong Bad Sings]] to name a few obivous ones. Add to that there's also several trailers, such as [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] and [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], plus [[In Search of the Yello Dello Theatrical Trailer]]. I'm not sure exactly how to sort 'em, I'm just listing. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

:It's been working fine for me. Has it just been happening occasionally, or everytime you try to access those pages? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::::Opera 8.51, and it worked fine this morning and all along. I tried Firefox, it's fine there. Somehow sometime today Opera isn't liked anymore. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
I just experienced some problems, too. Up at the top of the recent changes page was some code or something, but more than what you had, and instead of "line 19" it was like 157 or something around there. It's gone now, but the font is all weird now. {{User:Salty/sig}} 00:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:It's all fixed here too. Font seemed OK though. (I switched to Firefox for now because it handles the lags better, but Opera pulled up Watchlist just fine about 10 minutes ago.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
You each just happened to load those pages while I was tweaking this [[HRWiki:autocolumn|new extension]] at the exact moment I overlooked a semicolon at the end of a line or something. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:34, 21 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== The hat ==<br />
<br />
What is going on with homestar's propeller cap? Whas he born with it or something? Or is it just stylish in his creepy, drippy, savvy world? I, I seriously don't know what savvy means, so i probably shouldn't have said it.-ken<br />
<br />
:Try the [[FAQ]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I think Thunderbird meant [[HRWiki:FAQ]], not [[FAQ]]--{{User:Benol/sig}} 02:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, I'm pretty sure I meant the [[FAQ]]. In other words, check if The Brothers' Chaps have answered it. Then check the homestar propeller cap strategy guide. Then the propeller cap strategy guide strategy guide. Then email The Brothers' Chaps. And finally, get your mom to make you a Homestar propeller cap costume. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Location ==<br />
<br />
Did anyone else notice that most of the users on the wiki live in the Midwestern United States? That's just a little fun fact. Remember, I said '''MOST'''. (I had to say that before any arguments got started.)--{{User:Benol/sig}} 19:21, 24 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I don't think "Most" users (over 50%) of the wiki live anywhere in particular. They seem pretty scattered to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:26, 24 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Oh, and, for the record, I live in Georgia.--{{User:Benol/sig}} 19:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

::Might be, but I'm tired of having new messages and not knowing who it's from or where they edited.--{{User:Benol/sig}} 15:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Well, Benol, if you look to the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], with the "You have new messages." banner still showing, scan the page for a '''bold''' change to your talk page. If you click the "diff" on that, you'll see where the message was left. Alternatively, you could check your talk page's history. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

[[DJ Teh Cheat]] is currently just a redirect to [[Club Technochocolate]].

== The wiki on Frapper ==<br />
<br />
For those who don't know, Frapper is a website where you can add you location to a group to see where all the people from that group lived. I have created a [http://www.frappr.com/homestarrunnerwiki group for our wiki]! You don't have to join, but it will be nice if you do. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

See the Off-Subject topic called 'Put Yourself on the HRWiki Guestmap'. <span style="font-family: tw cen mt; font-variant: small-caps;">[[User:Ed smildE|Ed smilde]]/[[User talk:Ed smildE|talk]]</span><br />
<br />
== Inside/Outside ==<br />
<br />
I'd like to make a proposition, but that might get me in trouble, so I'll make a proposal instead.<br />
<br />
In the [[Talk:Under Construction|talk page]] for [[Under Construction]], I mention that all the items mentioned in the "Real World References" section are cartoons and games. At the time I suggested changing it to "External References", but I now realize that's dumb. However, I think "Outside References" might not be too bad. After all, it usually follows "Inside References" in the articles, right? [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] said "Although the cartoons and games are not "Real World", they are published ''in'' the real world, as in the world outside of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe." This therefore suggests that ''anything'' outside the H*R universe is "real life", which doesn't quite... um... follow logic, in my opinion. "Outside References" would be more accurate.<br />
<br />
[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] and [[User:Lapper|Lapper]] pointed out that it would be a massive project to affect this change on all articles. I don't know how major changes like this happen on these wiki things, if there's a vote or whatever, but if it's decided that a change would be appropriate, I think it would be easy to simply ask if anyone would volunteer to start the edits, and then split the task among those who volunteered. For example, I would start doing it on all of the Strong Bad Email articles, and when I was done with that I would see what else hadn't been changed left and offer to help with those sections.<br />
<br />
Sorry that this isn't very eloquent, I usually don't sound this stupid. But you have to admit, I at least deserve props for making proper usage of the word "affect" instead of erroneously saying "effect". - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 14:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It '' '''does''' '' make sense to me. If this is accepted, then I volunteer to do TGS and Short Toons. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]<br />
<br />
:Please, do not feel stupid for making a serious proposal. True, it's a major change in our [[HRWiki:Standards|standards]], but it still worth our time and consideration.<br />
:You quoted my reply from the Under Construction talk page, but you twisted what I said. I ''didn't'' say that anything outside the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe is "real world". As you wrote, that would be unlogical. What I did say that anything '''published''' outside of the Homestar Runner universe counts as real world.<br />
:Here is an example from Under Construction: The fun fact is "Stickly Man is almost certainly a reference to the popular Flash cartoon series Xiao Xiao, where stick figures battle in elaborately-choreographed fight scenes." If you'll go to the Wikipedia link provided inside the fact you'll see that "Xiao Xiao is a Flash cartoon series by '''Chinese animator Zhu Zhiqiang''', featuring stick-figure men performing choreographed fight scenes." Now, Mr. Zhiqiang is a man living in the real world. In the contrary, let's take a look on the [[Teen Girl Squad]] page: "'''Strong Bad''''s spur of the moment comic strip soon became a series of its own." Strong Bad is in the Homestar Runner universe, and therefor any fun fact mentioning TGS, is not real world.<br />
:Hope this answers your question, {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I still disagree with the distinction, because the human beings responsible for the entire Homestar Runner site also live in the same "real world" as Zhu Zhiqiang. The fact that, within the site's mythology, the character of Strong Bad "created" TGS doesn't change the fact that the entire site, including Strong Bad, Trogdor and PanPan, were all created by humans in the same "real world" as anything outside of H*R that gets referenced. The audio commentaries on the DVD blur and confuse this line even further, since some commentaries are voiced by characters, some by humans not speaking in characters, and some in combination. Basically, nothing I've read so far has convinced me that "Real World" is a good term for this distinction. - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 19:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I do not support changing the name. From the perspective of TBC, anything taken from outside the universe of H*R qualifies as something found in their real world, as opposed to the world that they created. The fact that they may be referencing other works of fiction doesn't change the fact that these other works really exist. I think this is a distinction without a difference, and not really worth changing. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::I do support changing the name. I think it sounds much better, as technically the cartoons are real-life too.

::::::::::How is "Real World" clearer? Real world human beings have done DVD audio commentaries (not in character), yet anything referencing these commentaries is an "Inside Reference", which by distinction under the current system is not "real world", despite the fact that the humans exist in the real world, and did their commentary as real world humans rather than within-the-H*R-universe characters. This doesn't seem very clear.<br />

== Recap ==<br />
''This was originally posted on It's dot com's talk page. He realizes, however, that he will not be able to give this one a good answer for a few days, and doesn't want Kookykman to have to wait that long. Therefore, he is moving the question here to a more public place where anyone can address it.''<br />
<br />
Can I get a recap (no need to be brief, I have time) of the things that have happened here since the start of December? The wiki seems very different after my short break. o_0 - {{User:Kookykman/sig}} 02:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Indeed. Probably the most easily summed-up change was [[HRWiki:A History#Guestbooks|The Tale of the Guestbooks]]. Aside from that, we gained some regularly-editing members and lost others. <s>I'll let It's dot com</s> elaborate, elucidate, expatiate, illustrate, lucubrate, and/or corroborate. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:23, 15 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

:::Among others, Bubsty left. For, like, a year... Others have come. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />

== Where's the New Weeklies on the WIki??? February 16, 2006 ==<br />
<br />
I was just on the official H*R website and its got new weeklies. The wiki hasn't posted it yet and I don't know how to add it.<br />
I thought this site was so we didn't have to go onto the official site to look for updates.<br />
:Yes, but we don't have superhuman speed. It usually takes a few minutes for it to update along with the site, and a few hours to finish a new toon's page. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 00:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:It's correct that it takes time, because last year, I got on the official website and watched Happy Fireworks at about 9:00 A.M., and had to create the wiki page for it, so it's a good thing we have so many contributors.<br />

== Two great ideas ==<br />
<br />
I have two great ideas.<br />
<br />
1. We should list how many frames each toon is.<br />
2. We should have a category for toons and emails with commercials in them.<br />
<br />
What do you think? {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 18:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I don't think the number of frames in a toon is really notable. I know of at least one case where it is, and it's noted [[Not the 100th Email!!!#Remarks|in the respective article]]. As for commercials, that's not something we would have a category for.&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::It's also noted in [[500 The Cheats]], since counting the frames means counting The Cheats. Besides those two special cases, Running Time pretty much covers the burning question - which toon's longer. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:And regarding #2, I don't think, unless the toon actually ''is'' a commercial, it's very useful. But it could be a useful category for such commercials, such as [[Meet Marshie]]. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 21:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::There are lots I can thing of, such as [[Meet Marshie]] (as mentioned 'bove), [[Cheat Commandos...O's]], [[Cheat Commandos]], [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]] (sort of), and [[Strong Bad Sings]] to name a few obivous ones. Add to that there's also several trailers, such as [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] and [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], plus [[In Search of the Yello Dello Theatrical Trailer]].

For those who don't know, Frapper is a website where you can add you location to a group to see where all the people from that group lived. I have created a [http://www.frappr.com/homestarrunnerwiki group for our wiki]! You don't have to join, but it will be nice if you do. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

See the Off-Subject topic called 'Put Yourself on the HRWiki Guestmap'. <span style="font-family: tw cen mt; font-variant: small-caps;">[[User:Ed smildE|Ed smilde]]/[[User talk:Ed smildE|talk]]</span><br />

== Inside/Outside ==<br />
<br />
I'd like to make a proposition, but that might get me in trouble, so I'll make a proposal instead.<br />
<br />
In the [[Talk:Under Construction|talk page]] for [[Under Construction]], I mention that all the items mentioned in the "Real World References" section are cartoons and games. At the time I suggested changing it to "External References", but I now realize that's dumb. However, I think "Outside References" might not be too bad. After all, it usually follows "Inside References" in the articles, right? [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] said "Although the cartoons and games are not "Real World", they are published ''in'' the real world, as in the world outside of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe." This therefore suggests that ''anything'' outside the H*R universe is "real life", which doesn't quite... um... follow logic, in my opinion. "Outside References" would be more accurate.<br />
<br />
[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] and [[User:Lapper|Lapper]] pointed out that it would be a massive project to affect this change on all articles. I don't know how major changes like this happen on these wiki things, if there's a vote or whatever, but if it's decided that a change would be appropriate, I think it would be easy to simply ask if anyone would volunteer to start the edits, and then split the task among those who volunteered. For example, I would start doing it on all of the Strong Bad Email articles, and when I was done with that I would see what else hadn't been changed left and offer to help with those sections.<br />
<br />
Sorry that this isn't very eloquent, I usually don't sound this stupid. But you have to admit, I at least deserve props for making proper usage of the word "affect" instead of erroneously saying "effect". - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 14:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It '' '''does''' '' make sense to me. If this is accepted, then I volunteer to do TGS and Short Toons. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]<br />
<br />
:Please, do not feel stupid for making a serious proposal. True, it's a major change in our [[HRWiki:Standards|standards]], but it still worth our time and consideration.<br />
:You quoted my reply from the Under Construction talk page, but you twisted what I said. I ''didn't'' say that anything outside the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe is "real world". As you wrote, that would be unlogical. What I did say that anything '''published''' outside of the Homestar Runner universe counts as real world.<br />
:Here is an example from Under Construction: The fun fact is "Stickly Man is almost certainly a reference to the popular Flash cartoon series Xiao Xiao, where stick figures battle in elaborately-choreographed fight scenes." If you'll go to the Wikipedia link provided inside the fact you'll see that "Xiao Xiao is a Flash cartoon series by '''Chinese animator Zhu Zhiqiang''', featuring stick-figure men performing choreographed fight scenes." Now, Mr. Zhiqiang is a man living in the real world. In the contrary, let's take a look on the [[Teen Girl Squad]] page: "'''Strong Bad''''s spur of the moment comic strip soon became a series of its own." Strong Bad is in the Homestar Runner universe, and therefor any fun fact mentioning TGS, is not real world.<br />
:Hope this answers your question, {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I still disagree with the distinction, because the human beings responsible for the entire Homestar Runner site also live in the same "real world" as Zhu Zhiqiang. The fact that, within the site's mythology, the character of Strong Bad "created" TGS doesn't change the fact that the entire site, including Strong Bad, Trogdor and PanPan, were all created by humans in the same "real world" as anything outside of H*R that gets referenced. The audio commentaries on the DVD blur and confuse this line even further, since some commentaries are voiced by characters, some by humans not speaking in characters, and some in combination. Basically, nothing I've read so far has convinced me that "Real World" is a good term for this distinction. - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 19:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I do not support changing the name. From the perspective of TBC, anything taken from outside the universe of H*R qualifies as something found in their real world, as opposed to the world that they created. The fact that they may be referencing other works of fiction doesn't change the fact that these other works really exist. I think this is a distinction without a difference, and not really worth changing. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::I do support changing the name. I think it sounds much better, as technically the cartoons are real-life too. Everything we talk about on this wiki is in real life, and so to avoid complications it would be better to change it to outside references. It also fits perfecly with inside references. &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh yeah&mdash;if this project is undertaken, I call Strong Bad emals 1-50. Or possiby even 1-75. &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::I also do not support changing the name. As It's dot com said, anything "outside" of the Homstar Runner universe is the "real-world". Although the points behind this proposal are valid, it's simply a rather petty difference. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

:::::::::I too echo many previously stated sentiments, and do ''not'' support the renaming of "Real-World References" to "Outside References". Real-Word is alot clearer as to what they are than "Outside References". {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::::::How is "Real World" clearer? Real world human beings have done DVD audio commentaries (not in character), yet anything referencing these commentaries is an "Inside Reference", which by distinction under the current system is not "real world", despite the fact that the humans exist in the real world, and did their commentary as real world humans rather than within-the-H*R-universe characters. This doesn't seem very clear.<br />
::::::::::On the other hand, anything in the H*R universe is inside, anything not in the H*R universe is outside, whether it's fictional characters, historical figures, cartoons, musical recordings, etc. This distinction seems much more clear to me. - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 11:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::::I'm with "Real World" per Thunderbird's statement. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::::::I kind of like the idea. "Outside References"... sounds good to me. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]<br />
I see all the reasons for changing it, but I think I a actually against it. #1, it would be a pretty big hassle, but that could be resolved by using a bot, or something. #2, Real-World References sounds a bit clearer to be. I wouldn't mind if this is carried out, but it seems to be a pretty big hassle. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

Hey there, Penguindude. You seem to be, er, missing the point of the talk page. Generally, users engage in serious discussions about H*R. Yes, it's just a cartoon, but HRWikiers take these pages seriously. While some people here are probably familiar with the ''Monty Python'' routine you're alluding to, it doesn't change the fact that it's a nonsensical addition. The talk subheading was "gummi bears" and starting a thread about spam is a complete nonsequitor.

<br />
*You start at the wall you blasted. Go forward and soon you'll leave the bit of land and will be walking on air. A Poorbt will appear and fire at you. Kill him or ignore him and walk forward, where a Jaro and Frotzer will be. Also, you'll fall off the air and land on the ground.<br />
*Go to the edge and jump to the stone platform, and then to the ladder. Climb up it and take care of the Terrel and continue forward. <br />
*Jump to the cloud and jump or run to the Conveyor belt before the cloud disappears. Jump to the ladder, climb it and fall to the stone platform below. Destroy the Biztar and continue. <br />
*Walk off the edge, being careful of the Bendini Sisters, and you'll land on trees.<br />
*Challenge the Gaspeau and go forward. You'll see a Trapdoor that works in reverse. You can land on it while it's down, yet you'll fall when it's up. Jump past it and eliminate the Chorch. Jump past the Assorted Platforms to the rapidly changing platform below, but watch out for the Kolkaryu.<br />
*Climb the ladder of ducks and destroy the Grundy and Chorch up there. Before going on, jump down into the ovens stacked on one another: there's a hidden power crunch for you. Go back up the ladder and ignore the Stothos; it's difficult to hit him and not worth your time. Continue on to the two platforms.<br />
*Take them to the next area where you'll see a Drill and a switch like the one from level 4. Run onto the platform to be teleported. Watch out, as there will be 3 Jaros waiting for you. (If you look closely, you can see an Astromund jumping around at the bottom.)<br />
*Ignore the discolored capsule off to your left - it's poisoned and hurts you instead of healing you. Ignore the next set of platforms. The first won't help you, and you go through the second. <br />
*Climb the Retractable Ladder and go past the large assortment of platforms to the two conveyor belts. The first one doesn't work and the second one works in reverse. Shoot the Biztars and progress. Watch out for the Piedmont. Go forward, killing the My Benjs. <br />
*You'll then come across 3 Lundfords lined up on top of each other. Go past them, as well as the Porchis, deafeat the Stobat. And then you'll meet a large assortment of Chorches, Greggos, and a Terrel. <br />
*There's a capsule ahead, but watch out, because again, there's a Frotzer and a set of Bendini Sisters guarding it. Grab it and go forward to see a pile of Gokuls, with a Blue Browntant on top, and a Pink Cham Cham under them. <br />
*Destroy everything that you can, since you can't reach the Pink Cham Cham, and walk through the lava-fall - it's fake, and won't hurt you. There's also a Gaspeau and a Grundy too. Go past them, go up the retractable ladder, and destroy the Terrel. Go to the array of ladders, and go to the first one there.<br />
*Climb all the way up to the top, and you can stand on it. Jump forward to land on an invisible platform. Walk forward and you'll fall and land on a retractable ladder. Destroy the Chorch, jump to the next ladder, and destroy the Gaspeau. <br />
*Walk forward to walk on air, watching out for the Kolkaryu. Climb down the Retractable ladder, and then down the duck ladder. When you go down the duck ladder, a switch platform from Level 4 will try to smack into you. <br />
*Walk forward, avoiding the Postlethwaite's lightning. Defeat the Chorch and be sure to jump to land on the invisible platform because if you just walk, you will fall and lose a life. Watch out for the Bendini Sisters that are waiting. Go to the rapidly changing platform. <br />
*Go to the Set of Trapdoors. Remember that they work in reverse, so jump when they're down and you'll land on them. Eliminate the Stobat and get the Power crunch he leaves behind. Jump over the Lundsfords and now you're on a line of 1-Up-heads. A Fullbide will charge at you too, so be careful. Continue. You'll see another Fullbide and a Browntant. Destroy them and walk forward to the collection of Old Sages, Sporks, Hash-Haws, and other deadly items, and you'll reach the invisible goal! -0.1 Complete!<br />
<br />
===Stage -0.2 (Transcript)===<br />
''{The same level start scene is shown with the words, "TRY LEVEL -0.2" at the bottom.}''<br />
<br />
''{As the level begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''<br />
<pre>START PLAY!</pre><br />
<br />
===Level -0.2 (Guide)===<br />
* As soon as you enter, you'll face a Stobat. Defeat him. <br />
* Jump onto the first oven in the first row. Walk forward - the next oven isn't solid, so you'll fall into that. Jump onto the next oven, then continue jumping up ovens diagonally to the right. <br />
* When you reach the top, a Kolkaryu is waiting for you. Jump to the platform near him to avoid him. If you want to get the extra life, walk forward and then jump over the oven next to the one where the life is (a Fullbide will attack here). Go back to the platform. Walk forward and then jump over the next oven, to the one where the Chorch is waiting. Destroy the Chorch.<br />
** The second oven after the platform isn't solid, and you'll fall below the wall of ovens. Don't panic - continue to the left, destroy the Frotzers, and jump back up.<br />
* Walk to the oven next to the Lundsford. You'll fall to the bottom. Jump onto the next oven and continue on. <br />
** You can also jump over the oven with the Lundsford on it to get a hidden capsule inside the oven on the right of the Lundsford.<br />
* Run forward to the Retractable ladder, and take it to the top.<br />
* Jump on the cloud platform, and then jump to the stone platform as soon as possible, or you'll smack into the drill. <br />
* Jump past the other two platforms and back on land. Destroy the Browntant ahead and go up the ladder. Eliminate the Terrel and the My Benj there, and get the capsule (but watch out for the flying platform - it'll smash into you and take some health). <br />
* Jump into the conveyor belt, then to the Disappearing Cloud, then to the Stone Platform. Now jump forward over the Pooru-Pooru's - you'll land on the air on one of them. Walk forward until you fall and hit the platforms below you. Destroy the Astromunds if they come too close (or just ignore them). Walk down the platforms and destroy the Astromunds. Then defeat the Frotzer nearby. <br />
* You should see a line of Rose Blakes. Make sure the last two are extinguished, then jump over the first two and quickly move forward. <br />
* Now you'll see a series of Switches from Level 4. Jump onto the first one to teleport. You'll land next to two more. Avoid/destroy the Uptant, then go on the teleporter on the left. Destroy the plant thing and go to the right teleport. Walk to your right and jump, trying to land on the right side teleport. There's only one in the next place, so take it, then take the next one too. The next set of teleports will be right on top of each other - walk into the set and jump, trying to hit the bottom one. Take the next teleport you see, then dodge the Stafulter and walk into the teleport on the ground. Jump off the Disappearing Cloud and get the capsule. Jump off the next platform, avoiding the column of My Benj.<br />
** To get an extra life, instead of jumping off the platform, jump on the teleport above you, get the life, jump on the next teleport, climb up the duck ladder, and continue on. <br />
* Take care of the Protek. Another set of Bendini Sisters is there, but they can't hurt you. <br />
* Walk forward to see two Biztars with a Pink Cham Cham under them. Watch out for the flying Level 4 platform. Destroy the Biztars. Destroy the Fullbides and the Blue Browntant (and be careful of another flying platform). <br />
* Jump on the flying platforms and go up to the clouds. You'll see some letters and three capsules below you on Old Sages. Walk forward, and you'll eventually fall through the floor to the three capsules. Try to get one of the capsules, because you'll trigger the Boss before you reach the Old Sages. -0.2 Complete!<br />

===-0.3 (Boss: Ekersby) (Guide)===<br />
Ekersby is a jumble of random sprites from the other levels, with Browntants, Uptants and Downtants for weapons. Now, watch the Lundsford on the right. When it lights up, it activates the fridge door, opening or closing it. When the fridge door is open, that's your cue to attack it. After attacking, the door will open from the other side, blocking your beam, so you'll have to get to the other side to shoot the fridge again. Go to the Green Switch to get sent to the top. Avoid the Uptants and the Sporks on his head by waiting for the Uptants to strike, walking to the Sporks, waiting for them, and running past. Go to the other side and wait for Ekersby to go to the other side. Climb down the ladder, avoiding the Downtants, and repeat. Don't try to kill the 'Tants, it doesn't work. Number of hits needed: 6.<br />

===Level -0.4 (Guide)===<br />
This weird level shows up after beating Ekersby. It has yet to be explored completely but so far all we see is Stinkoman with a black background. He starts in the normal spot but we haven't found any ground or platforms yet so he just falls to his death. There could be objects here but it just seems like a level designed to make you run out of mans. No tips yet.</div>Penguindudehttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/User:PenguindudeUser:Penguindude2005-08-30T10:53:39Z<p>Penguindude: </p>

'''Strongbadia''' (also spelled Strong Badia) is the field behind the dumpster that is ruled over by [[Strong Bad]]. He introduced his monarchy in "[[i rule]]". In "[[colonization]]", he tells the story of how it was founded (which took place around the time that the wireless web was invented) when Strong Bad started renting the land from [[Bubs]].<br />
As seen in email "[[other days]]", Strong Bad gives Strongbadia a firm scrubbing every Thursday.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Strongbadia in 2 years.png|thumb|The expected landscape of Strongbadia in September 2005]]<br />
Citizens of Strongbadia include Strong Bad, [[Strong Mad]], [[The Cheat]], the [[Tire]], the [[Stop Sign]], [[General Tso's Chicken]], Strong Bad's [[Tandy 400]], and the [[Cinderblock]]. However, the official population of Strongbadia, as recorded on the Stop Sign, is "Tire." In the email "[[2 years]]", it was revealed that two years after the email was released, September 2005, the population will have tripled to also include a Bundt Cake pan and [[Coach Z]] (taking a leak). The Cheat will also have painted a mural on the fence, reading "FIReWORKS or die," and there will be a world class hole.<br />
<br />
The Stop Sign and the Cinderblock serve as an unfinished monument to Strongbadia's monarch.<br />
<br />
[[Image:minibeast_sbemail89.png|thumb|Local news in Strongbadia]]<br />
<br />
Strongbadia also has its own local news.<br />
<br />
As seen in the email "[[little questions]]", Strongbadia is, or at some point was, on very good economic and political terms with Sweden (perhaps even to the point of an alliance).<br />
<br />
In the email "[[flag day]]", Strong Bad sings the Strongbadia National Anthem and the flag of Strongbadia is first shown. This anthem later appears on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:stopsign.png|thumb|The Strongbadia stop sign]]<br />
<br />
In 2004, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] attempted to conquer Strongbadia via his [[Homestarmy]], which at the time consisted of himself, [[Strong Sad]], [[Homsar]], The [[Painting of a guy with a big knife]], and a popcorn maker named [[Frank Bennedetto]]. Though Strong Bad was outnumbered almost 2 to 1, Homestar agreed to cancel the invasion because Strong Bad and Strong Mad were playing Badminton. The only casualty was Bennedetto, who was seriously wounded and even considered dead for a while.<br />

<div>== Boring Email! ==<br />
<br />
Guys, I gotta level with ya. This is probably...the most boring email rap I have ever heard. No cool rhymes, songs, headbanging, or even silly ditty. Nothin' but "I am going to check my email." Probably on purpose. But I wanted to point it out. --[[User:Bellatrix|Bellatrix]] 21:58, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Bell vs. Belle ==<br />
<br />
It says in da transcript that Homestar says "I'm a belle", but I always thought that he was saying "I'm a BELL". You know, cuz he's too dumb to know what the term belle of the ball means, so he just thought Strong Bad was talkin' 'bout a bell as in "ding dong". Any thoughts?<br />
-[[User:Miss Free Country USA|I don't feel like typing my name I mean oh wait typing this took longer anyway, bye.]]<br />
*Yeah, uh, random conjecture is bad. There's no reason whatsoever to believe that Homestar is saying "bell" over "belle" - none - so we should keep it consistent with what Strong Bad CLEARLY said. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:00, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Costume or Not?==<br />
<br />
It lists this as a costume for Homestar, but Strong Bad says that the final step is to "Get your mom to make you a Strong Bad costume", so should that be removed from the [[Other Costumes]] page?</div>Penguindudehttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:halloweenerTalk:halloweener2005-08-30T10:43:06Z<p>Penguindude: </p>

How do we even know his name is Prime Time anyway?<br />

<br />
:Don't be too sure, his name might be Prime Time, but then again, he may not be "Ready for Primetime" or "Eh! Greg," but some undisclosed name. I don't think it's Eh! Greg because Strong Bad drew a different character and then said "Eh! Greg." I'm pretty sure the joke was that the different character was supposed to be Eh! Steve, but Strong Bad had forgotten his name. I also think that PT's name might be "Sweety Cakes." It's possible. --[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]<br />

<br />
It's not "Eh, Greg;" Eh, Greg was the little Eh, Steve-looking guy Strong Bad drew in the background.<br />
<br />
Seems to me that Prime time is just a guess, but Eh! Greg is a name that was actually used in the e-mail. Anyone care to explain how this happened?<br />
: Because Eh! Greg is the name of the little guy in the background that Strong Bad drew, that looks like Eh! Steve, whereas Ready for Primetime is the name Strong Bad gave Strong Mad's haircut. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 20:34, 16 Mar 2005 (MST)<br />

<br />
''{Strong Bad reads the name as "B. Ryan Holmes, certified arborist")<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and speaking like a robot while bobbing his head sporadically}''Good question, Brian. I am going to answer this email like a robot. Don't you think this is a great idea? ''{normal voice}'' Yeah, sorry, me neither. OK, other days o' the week. Let's see...<br />
<br />
''{A calendar appears with a heading "A Month" and weeks starting on Monday. On Monday is written "checka my e-mail.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}''On Tuesdays, I check my snail mail.<br />
<br />
''{"checka my snail mail" gets written in on Tuesday. Cut to Strong Bad at a mailbox that reads "sb_snailmail.exe"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got a snail mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.<br />
<br />
''{He opens his letter and reads it.}''<br />
<br />
<pre>Dear Mr. Bad,<br />
This constitutes your final warning.<br />
Please remit payment of three(3)<br />
dollars and sixty-two(62) cents or<br />
you will be turned over to a "cut off<br />
your toes" -style collections agency.<br />
<br />
Swarthily,<br />
Bubs' Concession Stand</pre><br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking sarcastically}'' Oh no, final warning. Is there nothing I can do to dissuade you? Like maybe give you a ride in my BMW?!? ''{Strong Bad pulls out the [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]] and burns the paper, laughing. He then looks around.}''WA HA HA HA! Um... Where's my house?<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the calendar.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then to better help folks over the hump, on Wednesdays I give free motivational lectures.<br />
<br />
''{"give lecture" is written in on Wednesday. Cut to the chalkboard with Coach Z and Strong Mad listening to Strong Bad.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You gots to look inside yourself! Positate the negative. When life throws pies at you, you make yourself a tall, cool glass of piemonade.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' I'm a new man!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M THE HUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the calendar.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Due to a prior arrest, Thursdays are community service days, so me and the old Cheatasaurus head down to Strong Badia and give the place a firm scrubbin'.<br />
<br />
''{"community service" gets written in for Thursday. Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad is vacuuming the dirt and The Cheat is washing the Tire.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what I always say, The Cheat. Stay smart, vacuum...dirt.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds like "And wash up the tire!"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the calendar.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then there's Business Casual Fridays, or as we say around the office, Biz Cas Fri. ''{"biz cas fri" appears on the Friday box.}'' You know, because we have to abrev. everything.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the office.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's the day we all wear the free polo shirts we got from various software companies.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. Did you play Online Gaming last night? No, yeah, no? I did. I got so many frags.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the calendar.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' On Saturday I certainly don't wake up at 6 A.M., put on a Speedo, and go to swim practice. ''{"NOT swim practice" gets written in the Saturday box.}'' No, no, definitely not Speedo. But I do attend: {''A flyer for Battle Axe Lessons appears onscreen, "NOT swim practice" is replaced by "BATTLE AXE LESSONS!" in the Saturday box.}'' BATTLE AXE LESSONS AT THE REC CENTER, with my teacher Dolph Hauldhagen, The Instruc-TOR! And of course, Sunday is the OTHER day I check my email, for our Eastern European viewers across the pond. <br />
<br />
''{"checka my eastern european emails" gets written in for Sunday. Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a gray computer with the word "BLOCK" in the bottom-left corner.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got a Polish e-mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.<br />
<br />
''{reading, translator speaks over Strong Bad in Polish: Silne Złe: Proszę rozwiązywać sznurowadło z tyłu głowy. Janusz, Polska}''<br />

*Brian Holmes and 'Holmes' (from [[huttah!]]) are both from California.<br />
*Dolph Hauldhagen is just Matt with a viking helmet, nothing else.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*The calendar starts on Monday, as per some European countries. North American calendars usually start on Sunday.<br />
*Strong Bad's advice to "make Piemonade" is a reference to the saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."<br />
*While talking about online gaming, Homestar Runner says, "I got so many frags". It seems he's been playing numerous [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooters]], in which a "[[Wikipedia:Frag|frag]]" is a kill.<br />
*It is interesting that Strong Bad helps people over the hump on Wednesdays, as some people refer to Wednesday as "Hump Day" since it is in the middle of the week.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*When Homestar says "so many frags" and is looking to the left, his torso is flipped, and consequently the buttons on his collar appear on the wrong side and "Diskettes Etc." appears backwards for a split second.<br />
*In the "my week" Easter Egg, Strong Sad enters the basement empty handed, yet he somehow produces Strong Bad's swimming trunks from behind the couch.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling|couch mumbling]].<br />
*The Office where "biz cas fri" takes place is the same as in [[dullard]] and the [[Senor Mortgage]] short, and the conversation is very reminiscient of that from ''dullard''.<br />
*When Strong Bad mentions having to do community service, it is likely a reference to the [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].<br />
*You can check out the ol' "Cheatasaurus" in one of the popcorn easter eggs in [[Labor Dabor]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*When Strong Sad is waking up Strong Bad for swim practice, he mumbles various things, ranging from "I'll kill you" to the name of the classic [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Wikipedia:CRPG|RPG]], ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]''. The "I'll kill you" in the swim practice Easter egg might be directed at Magus, a villain/party member in the game. ''(Also see Inside References.)''<br />
** Also notable is that Magus's true name is Janus, the same as Strong Bad's Polish email author.<br />
*The name of his other computer, "[[Block]]," is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Eastern_Bloc|Soviet Bloc]]&mdash;the group of Eastern European nations which were under communist government.<br />
*The text on the battle axe lesson flyer which instructs you to bring your own axe and exercise mat is in the same font as Iron Maiden's name almost always appears. One of their first ever songs, "Invasion", released only on a four track album of which 5000 copies were made, was about Viking invaders.<br />
*Strong Bad's imitation of a robot seems to be a reference to Harry in the documentary "[[IMDB:tt0334405|Spellbound]]," a spelling bee contestant who spontaneously replies to a question from the interviewer in a robotic voice, and finishes off by saying "I-am-a-musical-robot. Do-I-sound-like-a-musical-robot?"<br />
*"Stay smart, vacuum...dirt" may be based on "Be Smart! Don't Start!", a motto used in a series of '80s PSAs trying to discourage minors from drinking alcohol.<br />
*The phone number for Brian Holmes, Certified Arborist (555-XYLM), is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Xylem|xylem]], the major water transporting tissue of a tree.<br />
<br />
===Fast Forward===<br />
*"Biz Cas Fri" would be the subject of three Puppet Stuff features, [[Biz Cas Fri 1|Biz Cas Fri]], [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]].<br />
