== Mustachioed Homestar Runner==

Well I guess this email answers the question about whether [[Mustachioed Homestar Runner]] was a unique character or not. Now we know that he at least has the same voice as Homestar. And I imagine that this is the first time we can actually see him without having to view the toon from its Flash file directly. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 00:50, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Could that be Fabrosi? Strong Bad mentioned that he was probably out lady-ing with a fake mustache. -- 71.34.147.24 20:37, 8 Aug 2005 (MDT)

Maybe Homestar wrote in using Fabrosi as a pseudonym...

A side note: Fabrosi could also be Homsar, since he wears a false mustache in his main page. [[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]] 19:10, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::If Fabrosi is in fact meant to be a real character, I think [http://http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/The_Announcer The Announcer] resembles SB's description the best. But I think "Fabrosi" is just a completely random character. --[[User:Skizzot|Skizzot]] 21:46, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Stocks and Stipes Forever ==
Toward the end of the email, Strong Bad says stocks are up and stipes are down. According to dictionary.com, a 'stipe' is "A supporting stalk or stemlike structure, especially the stalk of a pistil, the petiole of a fern frond, or the stalk that supports the cap of a mushroom". It's a bit of an unfamiliar word, I bet, so someone may want to add it to the Fun Facts. Just make sure no one alludes 'stocks' to being like 'stalks'. That's a bit too much of a stretch. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I agree. TBC is very good at making such obscure allusions to things that require a bit more knowledge to know about. From the definition it sounds like it correlates perfectly, too. --[[User:64.164.69.221|64.164.69.221]] 10:05, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::I have added the definition to Real-world references and changed stocks to stalks. --[User:Eman|Eman]

::::I changed it back. Strong bad types '''stocks'''. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:39, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Stipes, TBC and Georgia==

I'm surprised the no one has mentioned Michael Stipe since TBC are from Georgia and so is ... oh, never mind! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:43, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I thought the same thing. - [[User:211.28.51.186|211.28.51.186]] 06:51, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Buisness/Ab-Abber ==

I don't feel confident to put this on the main page, but is it possible he says "buisness"? And I'm a little surprised no one's tried to note the similarity between his appearance when he says "muscular" and the handiwork of the Ab-Abber 2000 (granted, not identical; he HAS pecs here).--notstrongorbad

I noticed that too. I second the motion but I'm still not confident enough to add it. I'd wait for the DVD so people can find out by reading the subtitles. -- Octan

== Kicking The Cheat ==
Don't we have enough for this to be a bona fide [[:Category:Running Gags|running gag]]? Namely:

*[[little animal]].
*Strong Bad threatens to kick The Cheat a couple times at the end of [[caper]].
*He tells Homestar to give The Cheat (hiding under the box)a "swift kick in The Cheat" in [[replacement]].
*He also mentions "Kickin' Cheats 'till the day I die" in [[replacement]].
*Mentioned in [[do over]].
*This email.

::Yeah, totally. That's totally a worthwhile running gag. Don't forget the [[Kick The Cheat]] plushie too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Cat ==
I think SB says "or holy-crap-adorable cat"...why else would Marzipan comment that it smells like litterbox? Maybe that's just me. --[[User:Cocoa|Cocoa]]

:Meh, sounds like "pet". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:06, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I hear "pet" as well, and Marzipan isn't making a whole lot of sense in this email anyway. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 00:14, 10 August 2005 (BST)

::Then it's just me. :/ --[[User:Cocoa|Cocoa]]

== The Fabrosi ==

I don't hear the "the" in "What did you two do to (the) Fabrosi". But since about 1.5% max of the users here ever agree with me on matters like this, discuss. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:05, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:There's no "the". It's just "What'd you two do to Fabrosi?" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:05, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::I hope you don't mind that I combined the two topic headings that were created nigh-simultaneously. That said, if Dot com agrees with me... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:07, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::I don't hear a "the" either. I think the repetition of the same "oo" sound has confused people's ears. I once thought there was a "the", but I gave it another listen and found that it was the "you two do to" confusing my ears. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::No, there's definitely no 'the' in there. The ears want to hear "What did you do to Fabrosi?" but the two beforehand throws it off, making the to, which he pronounces 'tuh', sound like a the. So what the ear actually hears is "What did you do to the Fabrosi?", even though that's not what he said. It took me several times to catch that though. {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 03:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
::I was unsure if it was "the," but there definitely is some syllable in between there... - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''
He doesn't type a the... {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

== Genghis the Mongolian ==

Should we add that Genghis Khan lotion for women is referencing the ‘Mongolian aftershave lotion’ mentioned by Strong Bad or is it common knowedge Genghis was from Mongolia?-[[User:The Pardack|the Pardack]]
: It's already there, under Real-World References. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:29, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Didn't notice that, boy do I feel dumb. [[User:The Pardack|the Pardack]]
:: Ah, don't worry. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:32, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Inside Reference? ==
"Even though Strong Bad says he would not openly admit that he could never get ladies, he did accidently say he doesn't know anything about the ladies at the end of lures & jigs."

Is this really an inside joke? If anything, I'd call this a fun fact, but it's not even very fun. I think any relation between the two is coincidental at best. -FatPamPam

:You have a point, although I think you meant "Is it an inside ''reference?''" No, it's really not. The item has been moved to "Remarks". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:27, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Slightly Different?==
I've seen this fact thrashing in and out over the last couple of days. Is this really notable?

<blockquote>The old-fashioned Homestar in this email has a lower voice than his Marshmallow's Last Stand counterpart, sounding slightly more like his modern self. Strong Bad's voice is also slightly different and sounds more like his modern counterpart.</blockquote>

Slightly different? We normally kill stuff with language like that. Isn't it unlikely that an MLS-era voice would be "performed" precisely as it was years ago? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:09, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I didn't write this fact. I just put it back in because I don't like it when an anonymous user deletes something substantial without so much as a word of explanation. As for the fact itself, meh, I could probably go either way. If you really think it should go, you know what to do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:39, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Oh, yeah. I know what to do! ;) -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:44, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::I meant you should STUFF it. Which I have now done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:41, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== STUFF'd fact false ==

Even though it's too late to change it (it was already unanimously declined), I noticed that the fun fact that said "suppleties" means "supplements" in Dutch was blatantly false. I looked it up on Alta Vista, and the Dutch word for "supplements" is "supplementen." Wish I'd caught that beforehand. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 22:20, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Did you do a "Dutch to English" translation of "suppleties"? I got an English translation of "supplements". Also, google "suppleties" ... lots of hits on sites in Dutch. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 22:27, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I'm confused, Kerrek Slayer... you wish the fact hadn't already been declined so that you could give an even-better reason to decline it? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:56, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Well, I dunno if the "even-better" reason was really "even-better". The "Dutch-to-English" translation of "suppleties" is indeed "supplements". Assuming you believe altavista's babelfish, of course. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:52, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::The translator at worldlingo.com agrees. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:56, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Right. I should have said "''supposedly'' even-better". The fact that ISlayedTheKerrek considered it a better reason was what I was getting at. I was curious about why he seemed to wish the item was still open... So we could decline it with more oomph, or something? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:01, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::::I'm a lot less inclined to believe "suppleties" means supplements, because I know a few people that speak Dutch, amazing as that may be, and they told me it was "supplementen." --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 17:38, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::::But you didn't answer my original question. The one that begins "I'm confused..." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

::::::It's gotta mean ''something'' in Dutch. [http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-13,GGLD:en&q=suppleties This] search turns up all kinds of Dutch sites. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:17, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's exact height ==

Surprised I'm the first to pick up on this eMail's potential for beautifully pointless nitpickery and obssessive fandom. Think about it: a laserdisc is held onscreen, perfectly parallel to the plane of the camera lens, and apparently the exact same distance from said lens as Strong Bad's head. Laserdiscs have a diameter of precisely 30 centimeters. We now know Strong Bad's exact height. That's one step away from knowing his shoe size. That's yet another step away from actually stalking a fictional character. Just think of the potential; "Homsar's hat leaps exactly 14.7 centimeters above his head", "The Thnikkaman's shades appear to be <brand name>, but are 0.3 millimeters too wide, et-bloody-cetera". Or I suppose we could just take note of Strong Bad and the Cheat's height, since it's the kind of delightfully meaningless factoid on which true fanboys and fangirls thrive.
Update: Ding! ~76 centimeters, or a mere 2'6''. I suppose I'll just add this in, under "remarks".

:Can we compare it to The Cheat's hight in [[Where's The Cheat?]]? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:42, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Hey, whatever floats the collective wikiboat. On a related note, someone seems to have delorted this particular Fun Fact without providing a reason or STUFFing the entry. I suppose I'll restore it until such a reason/vote is forthcoming.

:::What do you mean, "without providing a reason"? Read the edit summaries. You are right about one thing, though: it's pointless nitpickery. There's ''no way'' you can assume TBC would have tried to get the size of the laserdisc accurate to the point of its being used as a standard of measure. They made it look "about right" on screen, nothing more. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:15, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::My bad, not sure how I overlooked that. [[User:85.64.210.95|85.64.210.95]] 01:44, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::TBC probably just exaggurated the size of the laserdisc. Most people don't know how exactly big a laserdisc is, a lot of people have probably never seen one. They just know they're big. So standard caricature action comes into play when it gets cartoonised - people know they're big, so make it huge. {{User:phlip/sig}} 15:44, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::You're both absolutely right, but I fail to see how that's in any way relevant. Obviously the disc was never actually intended for size comparison, but that's why this is the Wiki That Should Not Be. TBC make hilarious toons. That's what they do. Continuity, internal consistency, the fourth wall, none of these things matter to them, so long as they get the joke across. This wiki, in contrast, endeavors to turn the Homestarverse into some sort of rational, objective, well-documented world, and keep a straight face the whole while. We bring order to chaos, even when there's no good reason to do so. When TBC put a 'stashed Homestar just outside the frame, that's just a visual non sequitur. When this wiki gets light of said 'stashed Homestar, it wonders whether this might be the former King of Town, the one that's supposedly Marzipan's dad. When we realize there's no way the Gravy Train could fit a captain that's over half a million ladies tall, we fudge the numbers to make it work. So c'mon; just because this was clearly unintentional, doesn't mean it isn't worth noting. SB's bleeding tiny, he is. About as tall as puppet Strong Bad.[[User:85.64.210.95|85.64.210.95]] 01:44, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::::But compare Strong Bad to all the other objects around, like his computer. Is he living in a dwarf world, and The Cheat brought a laserdisc from elsewhere? I'll believe that the laserdisc was extra big before I believe the whole H*R universe is extra small. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 01:50, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Do you want my Bod? ==

When Strongbad ask's Marzipan if she "wants his bod", it is a reference to a cologne commerical "Bod Man", seen here: http://www.parfumsdecoeur.com/bod_ads.cfm
:[http://m-w.com/dictionary/bod Bod] is just a slang term for "body"... not a reference to anything. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

:: -Strongbad puts on "Mongolian aftershave lotion" and then walks up to Marzipan and asks "Marzipan. Do you want a-my bod!", watch the commericals in the link, and you will see the reference is pretty clear.

== Creme Brulee Ice Cream ==

Though this e-mail was made in 2005, in 2007 Ben And Jerry's introduced Creme Brulee Ice Cream. They, however, were NOT the first to create such an ice cream. Baskin Robbins at one point also made the flavor as one of their Seasonal Flavors. I am not sure when this was.

Should this go in the Real-World References? [[User:SargeAbernathy|SargeAbernathy]] 21:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

==French Abbreviations==

Originally someone said "The abbreviation for "Monsieur" is "M.", but it is misspelled as "Mssr." in the "French Countryside" e-mail." Then someone stuck below it that Mssr. actually stood for Monseigneur. These two stood for some time, uncombined, until someone combined them a few days ago, perhaps hastily: now it says that Monseigneur stands for Monsieur, which doesn't make much sense. So I hope to set this straight.

Monseigneur's usual abbreviation is actually Mgr. rather than Mssr. ([http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=monseigneur+mssr&word2=monseigneur+mgr take a look]). Mssr. could be a misspelling of that, but it seems more likely to be a mistake based on the abbreviation Messrs. or Mssrs., short for Messieurs, the plural of Monsieur (whose abbreviation is indeed M.).

Incidentally, Monseigneur is an older word, for people of high rank -- I guess kind of like "milord" as compared to "mister." -- [[User:Minivet|Minivet]] 11:12, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

=="Slash"==

Why is it noted in the transcript (and similarly in other transcripts) that Strong Bad pronounces "triumphantly/abundantly" as "triumphantly slash abundantly"? Is there any other way to pronounce it?

:Jus' what I was going to ask. Since there are no credits, we have no proof one way or another that Missy did the voice. It's just word of mouth. I personally think it sounds a lot more like "Mike" Chapman, myself. [[User:142.161.206.50|142.161.206.50]] 13:25, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Dear [[User: Jay|Jay]],

Why are you using lazy abbreviations for Female Lappy 486? It is really simple to type those two easy words out, you know! Quit being lazy!

Signed,

[[User: Postal Service|Postal Service]]

Are you sure it wasn't a simulated voice? I think that a computer voice program would be able to say all the the Lappy said. It's a possibility. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

== Ogre? ==

Okay, when Homestar showed up, he called Strong Bad something. The transcript says it is "ogre", but I think he might've said "ogle". In my opinion, ogle even describes Strong Bad better. I kind of wonder if TBC would say ogle on a G-rated cartoon, but it's really not a bad word, so... you think about that. --[[User:152.163.100.71|152.163.100.71]] 20:29, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Strong bad is an impertinent, flirtatious, or amorous stare? That doesn't make sense... unless you think Homestar was trying to say "ogre" but said "ogle" instead. [[User:68.228.70.62|68.228.70.62]] 23:11, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

::The first one. Homestar probably tried to say "ogler" or something of that nature and screwed up, or maybe he just thought ogle could be used as a noun. After all, "flirt" can be a noun. --[[User:205.188.116.71|205.188.116.71]] 07:15, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::Sounds like ogre to me. An ogle makes no sense contextually or lexigraphically. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 10:28, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::I thought Homestar tells Strong Bad that Marzipan says he is an oval (presumably because of the shape of his head?) It is kind of slurred, but I hear it that way every time, now.--[[User:Meg|Meg]] 12:02, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::::Why would Marzipan ever call him an oval? Calling him an ogler almost makes sense, but Homestar doesn't even make enough consonantal sounds for that to be what he's saying. "Ogre", however, sounds a lot like "oguw", and sounds exactly like something Marzipan would say about Strong Bad. Also, it should be remembered that what was said was probably said for Strong Bad to hear. Would Strong Bad see "ogler" as an insult? Would he even know what was said?

::::::No, not an oval. There's definitely a "G" sound in there. Also, whether or not Strong Bad sees "ogler" as an insult isn't important. He wasn't offended or irritated by Marzipan's comment anyway. Ogler makes sense, but knowing the H*R style of humor, ogre seems more likely. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

== Head movement ==

As Strong Bad is typing his e-mail to Leonard Nimoy, his head doesn't move like it usually does, or as it did with the Pink Border.

== Removed portion of a fun fact ==

This could be a reference to the recent film [[Wikipedia:National Treasure|National Treasure]] in which designs are found on the Declaration of Independence.

This was immediately after noting that the paper was the Constitution this time. I don't think that this was at all a reference to National Treasure. It could just as easily be a reference to the fact that the Brothers Chaps live in the United States. In other words, I don't think this is a reference until Strong Bad takes the printed on constitution and finds a treasure with it. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 10:29, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

--[[User:orang55|orang55]] 16:54, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

It could be, but I don't think that the reference is clear enough to be added. Perhaps if the section was called Baseless Conjectures, it would work. Actually, if the chairs that they are sitting on are nearly exactly like the chairs from the Jetsons, then yes. If the chairs don't look nearly identical to the chairs from the Jetsons, then no. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 09:27, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Well Played ==

Does anyone think that the line "Well played, Strong Bad" is a reference to anything, or is actually a commonly said line? I'm thinking it could be a reference to the film ''Beckett'' about Thomas Beckett, in which King Henry says at one point "Well played, Thomas." It was a very striking line. Any other thoughts on the subject?
--[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
:Seems like a major stretch to me. If anything, "well played" is likely a reference to competitive games (particularly of the strategy variety) where the phrase would be really common; yet, that seems too broad an area to even mention. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:24, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== Ping ===
The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.

**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software.

***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here.

*'''Decline''' At first I thought they were the same sound, and they do sound pretty similar, but after a close comparison in Goldwave, it's pretty clear the Chaps are just using a generic ping that sounds similar to this note.

== Spooky sound effect ==

I've tried a couple times to remove a fact about a "spooky sound effect" coming from [[myths & legends]]; each time it's either been added back or I've been reverted. I assume the effect we're talking about is the one that sounds after Strong Bad says the fridge is a source of unspeakable power; if so, that sound also occurs in [[bottom 10]] and possibly other places. Therefore, I'll remove this item from the page unless someone has a reason why my info is wrong. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
: I don't remember it in [[bottom 10]] offhand. Will check when I put my dinner in the oven. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:'''Edit conflict''': Well I'm not sure sure how the best way to resolve this is, because if what you say is true, then the bottom 10 noise is the same as the myths & legends noise (which if my memory serves me right was "noted" to be in the same scale as the Geddup Noise or something strange like that). It should be somewhere in the [[Sound Effects]] page for sure. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:: It is ''not'' the same sound as in [[bottom 10]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::: Second that. You are thinking of the sound that occurs when strong bad sees the 'creepy painting'; it's lower and has a constant pitch, rather than the myths & legends sound effect, which starts at a higher note and goes to a lower note. It's the only appearance of that sound, so I think the reference should stand. By the way, is that sound anything else when sped up? {{User:Eman/sig}}
:::::Are the two sounds ''really'' that different? Yes, one has an additional note, but surely that doesn't make it a completely different sound effect. Oh, and I have absolute pitch and can tell you that the one in bottom 10 most certainly does is not a lower pitch. They are both a C. Anyway, it's not a huge deal, but I really think this is the sort of thing that should only be noted on the Sound Effects page. Anyone else agree? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

We've seen Strong Bad in the Gremin in Dangeresque (A gremlin which was seemingly originally made up by Bubs I might add), yet Strong Bad says he doesn't own a car. I think the whole question of cars in Free Country USA is yet to be fully answered. If there was a simple answer, Bubs owned the Gremlin, incorperated it into his Halloween tale, loaned it to Strong Bad while making his movie, and ultimately lost it to his lackey today in a high stakes game of dominoes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

== The Magic Eye image ==

Google finds a couple of matching images if you search for "Magic Eye Saturn", however the one at [http://www.alienintelligencer.com/2004/08/magic-eye.html this blog] is the only one that is the same resolution as the one I pulled from the swf. I downloaded it, and it is bit-for-bit identical to the one in the toon - thus either TBC got it from this site, or they both got it (indirectly) from the same location elsewhere (from a site either not listed on Google Images or that doesn't call it "Saturn"). If it's the former, it begs the question: What were TBC doing on an alien conspiracy site? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:34, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:Searching for "Stereogram Saturn" finds [http://www.jespersdesigns.com/visitmywebsite/stereograms.htm this] also, but though it's the same resolution, it's not bit-for-bit the same. So while it's the same picture, TBC didn't get it from here. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::Found a third version, on the [http://www.vision3d.com/sghidden/saturn.html official Magic Eye site], still not the same image that TBC used, but it tells me what book all three of these were scanned from, which is what I embarked on this to discover. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Waugh! Why was my screen of the black-and-white hidden camera feed image of the Bear-Shark taken down? I'm putting it back up! --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 01:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

So do we move this to "Bear-holding-a-shark" now? [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 21:12, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

==PseudoCharacter==

I added the Bear shark to the cast in the toons it's appeared in. With the [[myths & legends|recent email]] it's really become a character in itself. It was also on the [[Everybody Everybody Poster]], so obviously [[The Brothers Chaps]] consider him a character, even moreso than [[The Paper]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:In that case, I added it to the list of pseudocharacters. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:03, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

==Reference?==

I noticed the admin, ItsDotCom, has put down the entire section on possible "references" for bear-shark. Can someone explain to me why this is not relevant to the character(s)? [[User:SargeAbernathy|SargeAbernathy]] 23:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, it's It's dot com. Second, my being an admin has nothing to do with it. Third, one of those "references" was already mentioned, and the other two were coincidental at best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
::I apologize for any offense, and I did not mean to suggest that your Admin status had anything to do with it nor did I mean to offend you by mis-spelling your name.

::I made the section on references because I thought that it was information that was important to the character. If a character was a reference to something, then I thought it would be important to note that on the character's page itself. I originally tried putting the section in [[myths and legends]], but I was directed to put such information directly into this article. I agreed with this.

::I did notice that the third reference was already mentioned in the article [[date]] and it is from that article I brought it from. I did not mean to double any information on the site.

::The second reference was unecessary for the site, I realize this now. I apologize for .... being too wordy :)

::However the SpaceGhost reference was something that I had caught way back when [[date]] first appeared. I didn't know the method of finding out what was a reference or what was coincidence. However, since I was under the assumption that it was a clear reference, I thought it would be important to write down this info ... (Where in literature are you going to see sharks and bears put together for a ''documentary'' so humorously save for absurdist humor?)

::I do not mean to argue or insult you at all. I merely wanted to ask and debate this section. Again I apologize. [[User:SargeAbernathy|SargeAbernathy]] 23:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:::I did not mean to seem offended, because I wasn't. I was simply pointing out how my name is spelled and the fact that being an admin doesn't mean that I have final say-so on what goes in the articles. That said, I think a bear holding a shark could be thought of independently by several people, and I don't think that TBC were basing theirs on anything. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Oh good then ^^ I was afraid you were offended. You're right that the bear/shark will probably be seen as independent by most people, seeing as SG:C2C hasn't been seen by most people who watch Homestar Runner and it is a show that is no longer aired. And, being an English Major right now, I know the insane frustrations that comes with trying to figure out if the author intended something or not ... so what TBC mean to say in any of the stuff they make will be mysteries forever .... just like the legendary bear holding a shark!

:::: I still think the section is needed, but without anything concrete to say, I'm not willing to defend my section just yet. [[User:SargeAbernathy|SargeAbernathy]] 23:58, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

== Filmography? ==

If bear shark's a character of sorts, does it need a filmography? What's our "cutoff" when deciding wether or not to do filmography categories? Some pseudocharacters only appear once. Others appear a lot (like [[The Geddup Noise]]). I'm starting to really think that most [[:Category:PseudoCharacters|PseudoCharacters]] like [[The_Stick]], [[The Geddup Noise]], [[Chairscoot]] and [[Bear-Shark|this one]] should have their own [[Category:Filmography|filmography]] category (and for The geddup noise and chairscoot additions to the cast list of the toons/emails they are a part of). What I am proposing is no easy endeavour, and may need to be added to [[HRWiki:Projects]]. What are your opinions on the matter? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[[Image:bearholdingshark.png|thumb|Bear holding shark.]]
[[Image:Sbemail145.PNG|thumb|A glimpse of the monsterman?]]

The '''Bear-Shark''' is a cardboard cut-out of a bear holding a shark, lurking [[Behind the Fence|behind the fence]] of [[Strong Badia]]. It is Strong Badia's "security countermethod", as [[Strong Bad]] puts it. It scares [[The Cheat]] often, as when The Cheat touches the [[Tire]], not only does he get an electric shock, but the Bear-Shark pops up. For reasons that are never really looked into, The Cheat seems to have a phobia of bears holding sharks. The Bear-Shark also plays the part of "headhunters" on Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace USA#Riverquest Safariventure|Riverquest Safariventure]]. It is scared off by firing a starting pistol in its general direction twice. It also had a documentary documented about it. Apparently, Homestar and his "dog" Pom Pom were walking in the woods when they saw the "monsterman". Strong Sad did not believe these [[myths & legends]] very much.

==Reference?==
The Bear/Shark nature-relationship has been explored by [[Wikipedia:Space_Ghost_Coast_to_Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]] in the episode "Kentucky Nightmare" which aired on [[Wikipedia:Cartoon_Network|Cartoon Network]] in May of 2001. In this episode, Space Ghost shows off his "nature documentary" about Bears and Sharks being Nature's Best Friends. According to him, public television rejected his film on the basis of it being "grossly inaccurate". [[Wikipedia:Adult_Swim|Adult Swim]] has since made a few ads featuring bears and sharks.

In the Strong Bad e-mail, [[myths & legends]], a mock-documentary about the myth and legend of the "bear holding a shark" is explored.

Later, a few weeks after 9-11, Chris Bachelder's book ''Bear v. Shark'' was published and may also be another reference. [http://www.bookslut.com/features/2004_01_001305.php]

== SG:C2C Reference ==

Wether it is intended to or not, the Bear/Shark is a reference to Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast episode "Kentucky Nightmare" where SpaceGhost shows off a spoof "nature" show about bears and sharks being "Nature's Best Friends". Space Ghost had made the documentary for public television, but they rejected it on the account of it being grossly inaccurate. [[User:SargeAbernathy|SargeAbernathy]] 21:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

:The Bear Shark's been around for a long time. Unless that SG:C3C episode came out more than 3 years ago, it's a reverse reference. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:41, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

The '''Bear-Shark''' is a cardboard cut-out of a bear holding a shark, lurking [[Behind the Fence|behind the fence]] of [[Strong Badia]]. It is Strong Badia's "security countermethod", as [[Strong Bad]] puts it. It scares [[The Cheat]] often, as when The Cheat touches the [[Tire]], not only does he get an electric shock, but the Bear-Shark pops up. For reasons that are never really looked into, The Cheat seems to have a phobia of bears holding sharks. The Bear-Shark also plays the part of "headhunters" on Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace USA#Riverquest Safariventure|Riverquest Safariventure]]. It is scared off by firing a starting pistol in its general direction twice. It also had a documentary documented about it. Apparently, Homestar and his "dog" Pom Pom were walking in the woods when they saw the "monsterman". Strong Sad did not believe these [[myths & legends]] very much.

==Reference?==
The Bear/Shark nature-relationship has been explored by [[Wikipedia:Space_Ghost_Coast_to_Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]] in the episode "Kentucky Nightmare" which aired on [[Wikipedia:Cartoon_Network|Cartoon Network]] in May of 2001. In this episode, Space Ghost shows off his "nature documentary" about Bears and Sharks being Nature's Best Friends. According to him, public television rejected his film on the basis of it being "grossly inaccurate". [[Wikipedia:Adult_Swim|Adult Swim]] has since made a few ads featuring bears and sharks.

In the Strong Bad e-mail, [[myths & legends]], a mock-documentary about the myth and legend of the "bear holding a shark" is explored.

Later, a few weeks after 9-11, Chris Bachelder's book "Bear v. Shark" was published and may also be another reference. [http://www.bookslut.com/features/2004_01_001305.php]

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm livin' the Strong Bad life, I take an email for my wife. I take an email for my wife. ''{brings up and reads the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Hey Strongbad!</div>
Hey Strongbad, 
Does Strong Badia have any Mysterious Myths or 
Legendary Legends? 
Cephas 
Cornwall, CA 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Strongbad" as "Two words. Two different words. That are not one word. That are 'Strong' and 'Bad'." and the name and location as "Cephas Cornwall of the Corn Army".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Mysterious Myths or Legendary Legends? Isn't that a show on one of those channels up in the high hundreds? Ya know, like between the CG Dinosaur Channel and the Homes with Rollercoasters in Them Network? Well, if not, it should be! ''{makes a static-like sound}'' Come on! ''{makes it again, but this time the screen cuts to static}'' There we go.

''{Cut to Strongbadia. Strong Bad carries a stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strongbadia. An idyllic fruit-opia. Rich in madeupstories and nottrueities. The nottrue-est of which...

''{He prods The Tire with his stick. The Bear-Shark pops up. The Cheat runs by, panicked.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams in The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...is the mighty bear holding a shark. ''{spooky music starts}'' More than a mere security counter-measure, its origins lie in the skies of old.

''{Cut to a starry sky. Constellations of the Strongbadia flag's snake, the guy with the big knife, a hand giving the "OK" symbol, a board with nails in it, General Tso's chicken, a fish with an afro, and a marathon runner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The stars tell us that two of the seven elemental spirits of Strongbadia, the fish wearing a 'fro wig and the British distance runner, combined forces to defeat the others.

''{The two constellations in question fight, and in the end, the runner holds the fish over his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In paintball... or maybe Red Rover.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, through years of bad story-telling and the telephone game,

''{Over the following, images of a satyr holding a fish, labeled "Wildernessman withst Sea-Beast", an elk with a fish in its antlers, and a bad drawing of the bear-shark on the fence appear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The mythic beast transformed into the bear holding a shark we know today. These ancient fence drawings show evidence of destroyed crops, stolen babies, and family bike-rides. ''{The screen pans over to show bad drawings of the same.}'' Or family pie-sitting contests. Bear-holding-a-shark fever gripped the nation.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, with various Bear-Shark paraphernelia.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up an ice cream bar}'' We got Bear-holding-a-shark frozen delights, ''{looking at a pile of glasses near him}'' and these shot glasses are always popular with the kids. Oh, and my favorite: ''{reaches down and produces a necklace}'' these Bear-tooth-holding-a-shark-tooth necklaces!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Of course, not everyone caught the fever.

''{Music starts and Bubs dances. Then, cut to Strong Sad. The screen reads "Bear Holding a Shark Skeptic".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm sure it's just a weather balloon or a foreign exchange student. These strange beasts just aren't real!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...said the elephant-footed ghost man. And then, one day, the Bear-holding-a-shark got the break all made-up creatures dream of. ''{The screen becomes more and more blurry, and zooms further and further into Strong Bad, on each word in:}'' Blurry photographic evidence.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now, I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I was in the woods, walking my dog Pom Pom. All of a sudden, he started growlin' and poopin' all over the place. And that's when I saw him.

''{Static, then cut to a very fuzzy video reel of the Bear-Shark walking through the woods.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' A very. Scary. Monsterman.

''{More spooky music}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Now that we've seen all the evidence, it's up to you to decide: ''{the following words appear on the screen}'' Mysterious Myth? Or Legendary Legend?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Join us next week when we examine startling new evidence in the Biscuitdoughhandsman conspiracy.

''{More spooky music. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*"CG" is short for "Computer graphics".

===Trivia===
*The TV show sound effect incorporates the same musical notes as [[The Geddup Noise]].

===Remarks===
* By viewing the flash file when the "ancient fence drawings" are going by, you can see the text, "by strong bab age 5" written in sloppy, childish handwriting outside of the typical viewing area.
* If you look at the Bear Holding a Shark's feet during the blurry footage, you can see that they are white with blue soles, indicating Homestar's footage is not quite authentic.

===Inside References===
*The Mighty Warrior discussing corn is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].
*Coach Z's voice was digitally altered before in [[couch patch]].
*The Cheat was revealed to be scared of the Bear-Shark in [[date]].
*Strong Sad's [[Soolnds]] are mentioned again.

*"Bear Holding a Shark Week" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Discovery Channel|The Discovery Channel]]'s [http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/sharkweek.html Shark Week].
*One of the fence drawings is a [[Wikipedia:TIE fighter|TIE fighter]].
*"Shawshank style" is in reference to the 1994 movie [[Wikipedia:The Shawshank Redemption|The Shawshank Redemption]] in which [[Wikipedia:Morgan Freeman|Morgan Freeman]] plays a convict.
*The Strongbadia Myth Show is a reference to [[Wikipedia:In Search Of...|In Search Of...]] and similar shows and documentaries that investigate paranormal phenomena such as [[Wikipedia:Cryptozoology|monster sightings]] and alien abductions, and often include interviews with people who claim to have encountered such things.
*The blurry video footage of the bear holding a shark is a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:Patterson-Gimlin_film|Patterson-Gimlin]] home-movie footage of an alleged [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] (Sasquatch) moving through a forest.
*[[Wikipedia:Fruitopia|Fruitopia]] is a fruit drink manufactured by [[Wikipedia:The Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola]].
*Strong Sad dismissing the existence of the Bear holding a Shark, claiming what people actually see is a weather balloon is a reference to the U.S. Government's (and skeptics') common reaction to any UFO sighting or other supernatural event.
*The Bear/Shark nature-relationship has been explored by [[Wikipedia:Space_Ghost_Coast_to_Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]] in the episode "Kentucky Nightmare". In this episode, Space Ghost shows off his "nature documentary" about Bears and Sharks being Nature's Best Friends.

Does Strong Badia have any Mysterious Myths or 
Legendary Legends?

''{Strong Bad says "Strongbad" as "Two words. Two different words. That are not one word. That are 'Strong' and 'Bad'." and the name and location as "Cephas Cornwall of the Corn Army".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Mysterious Myths or Legendary Legends? Isn't that a show on one of those channels up in the high hundreds? Ya know, like between the CG Dinosaur Channel and the Homes with Rollercoasters in Them Network? Well, if not, it should be! ''{makes a static-like sound}'' Come on! ''{makes it again, but this time the screen cuts to static}'' There we go.

''{Cut to Strongbadia. Strong Bad carries a stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strongbadia. An idyllic fruit-opia. Rich in madeupstories and nottrueities. The nottrue-est of which...

''{He prods The Tire with his stick. The Bear-Shark pops up. The Cheat runs by, panicked.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams in The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...is the mighty bear holding a shark. ''{spooky music starts}'' More than a mere security counter-measure, its origins lie in the skies of old.

''{Cut to a starry sky. Constellations of the Strongbadia flag's snake, the guy with the big knife, a hand giving the "OK" symbol, a board with nails in it, General Tso's chicken, a fish with an afro, and a marathon runner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The stars tell us that two of the seven elemental spirits of Strongbadia, the fish wearing a 'fro wig and the British distance runner, combined forces to defeat the others.

''{The two constellations in question fight, and in the end, the runner holds the fish over his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In paintball... or maybe Red Rover.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, through years of bad story-telling and the telephone game,

''{Over the following, images of a satyr holding a fish, labeled "Wildernessman withst Sea-Beast", an elk with a fish in its antlers, and a bad drawing of the bear-shark on the fence appear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The mythic beast transformed into the bear holding a shark we know today. These ancient fence drawings show evidence of destroyed crops, stolen babies, and family bike-rides. ''{The screen pans over to show bad drawings of the same.}'' Or family pie-sitting contests. Bear-holding-a-shark fever gripped the nation.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, with various Bear-Shark paraphernelia.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up an ice cream bar}'' We got Bear-holding-a-shark frozen delights, ''{looking at a pile of glasses near him}'' and these shot glasses are always popular with the kids. Oh, and my favorite: ''{reaches down and produces a necklace}'' these Bear-tooth-holding-a-shark-tooth necklaces!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Of course, not everyone caught the fever.

''{Music starts and Bubs dances. Then, cut to Strong Sad. The screen reads "Bear Holding a Shark Skeptic".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm sure it's just a weather balloon or a foreign exchange student. These strange beasts just aren't real!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...said the elephant-footed ghost man. And then, one day, the Bear-holding-a-shark got the break all made-up creatures dream of. ''{The screen becomes more and more blurry, and zooms further and further into Strong Bad, on each word in:}'' Blurry photographic evidence.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now, I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I was in the woods, walking my dog Pom Pom. All of a sudden, he started growlin' and poopin' all over the place. And that's when I saw him.

''{Static, then cut to a very fuzzy video reel of the Bear-Shark walking through the woods.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' A very. Scary. Monsterman.

''{More spooky music}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Now that we've seen all the evidence, it's up to you to decide: ''{the following words appear on the screen}'' Mysterious Myth? Or Legendary Legend?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Join us next week when we examine startling new evidence in the Biscuitdoughhandsman conspiracy.

''{More spooky music. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:WalkingwithTrogdor.PNG|thumb|Walking with Trogdor]]
*Click on CA in the email to see a [[Teen Girl Squad]] frame of the Mighty Warrior taking on the corn army.
*Click on "CG Dinosaur Channel" to see [[Trogdor]] walk on the screen, advertising "Walking with Trogdor".
*Click on "startling" at the end to see a scene with Strong Bad and Bubs.
:''{Cut to [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding one of the Bear-Shark popsicles}'' So this is supposed to be the bear holding a shark? Looks more like...Morgan Freeman.
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, right! That's what it is! Now gimme twenty extra bucks for that Shawshank style.
*Click on "Biscuitdoughhandsman" to see Coach Z reporting an incident.
:''{Cut to Coach Z, standing in silhouette in front of a dark background. A caption appears reading "This guy's voice has been digitally altered again"}''
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{with voice digitally altered}'' So there I was, minding my own creepy business, when I found this severed hand in the locker room! ''{He holds up a biscuit with a bite taken out.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"CG" is short for "Computer graphics".

===Trivia===
*The TV show sound effect incorporates the same musical notes as [[The Geddup Noise]].
*At 2:54, this is the shortest Lappy era email to date.

===Remarks===
* By viewing the flash file when the "ancient fence drawings" are going by, you can see the text, "by strong bab age 5" written in sloppy, childish handwriting outside of the typical viewing area.
* If you look at the Bear Holding a Shark's feet during the blurry footage, you can see that they are white with blue soles, indicating Homestar's footage is not quite authentic.

===Inside References===
*The Mighty Warrior discussing corn is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].
*Coach Z's voice was digitally altered before in [[couch patch]].
*The Cheat was revealed to be scared of the Bear-Shark in [[date]].
*Strong Sad's [[Soolnds]] are mentioned again.
