==Transcript==
''{the loading screen for Lappy emails appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Never mind new sbemails! It's Sbemailiarized Entertainment! ''{the logo for "Sbemailiarized Entertainment TM © ® LLC,,. Esq." appears. A note plays as each trademark symbol is added}''

''{cut to Strong Bad sitting in [[Le Restige]], in the smoky office. He has his head turned, to face the camera from a side view of the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. Yeah, it's Strong Bad. ''{camera swings to a frontal shot of the chair}'' This one time people asked me, "What separates the men from the boys? ''{camera gets in closer}'' The wheat from the chaff? ''{zoom in even closer}'' The sbemails from the other cartoons?" ''{camera returns to original side view position}'' I told them: "Not all that much!"

''{a line graph appears, titled "the "difference"". The red line represents "other cartoons", and the blue "sbemails". It spans from 2003 to 2009.}''

'''VOICES:''' Oooh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Watch as I sbemailiarize myself with this classic cartoon!

''{static cut to Strong Bad in front of the Tandy 400. An email is on screen:}''

<blockquote class="tandy email"> Dear Strongbad, 
Coach Z talks real funney. 
-Jimty, 
St. Pod</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Jimty??!! That's a weird name! And you misspelled funny. Let's cut to Coach Z!!

''{cut to a scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]], with Coach Z talking to Homestar}''

'''COACH Z:''' I uh, I say you did a great ''jorb'' out there.

''{cut back to the Tandy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I cam'b deven umberstand wum that guy's sane! Zee you nezz dime!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down, in the old one-line style message}''

''{static cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? I turned that old cratoon into a new Strong Bad Email! ''{turns to the side and puts his hand aside of his mouth}'' The secret is this: We take a classic cartoon, ''{a blue screen with the words "THE SECRET! Shhh!" at the bottom falls over the scene. An orange box with old-style Homestar jumping appears}'' and bookend it with my snarky wagglehead ''{orange boxes with pictures of Strong Bad and the text "snark snark!" slide in and squish the Homestar box, then settle in place. The pictures of Strong Bad's head bobs back and forth.}'' on an old computer! ''{pull out to show the screen on the Lappy}'' ''{the disk load sound plays}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not a rerun or a copout! It's Sbemailiarized Entertainment! ''{The Sbemailiarized Entertainment TM © ® LLC,,. GQ logo again appears. A note plays as each trademark symbol is added}''

''{cut to Mike and Matt Chapman sitting in a room with wood paneling. A television and an Atari console sit between them. "THE CREATORS" is displayed in yellow above them}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt shakes his head while Mike talks}'' I can safely say: this is the future of Strong Bad Emails! ''{gestures toward camera}'' I can't wait to stop working—start working on ''them''!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{suddenly stands up, knocking the word "CREATORS" offscreen}'' ''{angrily}'' This is ''the'' worst idea you've—

''{small blip, and cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Remember that one with that whale thing? ''{an inset showing a clip from [[Drive-Thru]] appears on the left}'' That crap made no sense, right? Well, that's because ''I'' wasn't there to tell you why things were funny!

''{cut to Strong Bad typing on a greenish computer}''

<blockquote class="compy email" style="border:4px solid #CFC;color:#CFC">Hey Strong Bad, 
Man, those drive-thru speaker things 
sure are hard to understand. Will you 
cut to a scene of you talking to one? 
—Shandy</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Drive-thru? More like drivel-thru if you ask me. I mean, this is a fast food exchange we're having here. There's only like, ten things you could possibly be saying and I still can't understand you.

''{cut to a scene from Drive-Thru, with Strong Bad and The Cheat facing the Drive-Thru Whale}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Nine-seventeen, sever your leg please, sir.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Could you repeat that? ''{Shakes head}'' I thought you just asked me to sever my leg. ''{Strong Bad shakes his leg as he says this}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the greenish computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See Shandy? Now it's social satire and not just some weird crap that you watch. See you next time!

''{static cut back to Strong Bad in the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And it doesn't just apply to cartoons in which I can't understand what people are saying! ''{lowers eyelids, speaks drily}'' Which there seems to be an abundance of. ''{normal again}'' Why, you could sbemailiarize just about anything!

''{cut to [[Main Page 1]], with the old style What's New buttons and only 10 main pages. A lonely wind whistle sound effect plays throughout.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Toons! ''{the spaceship opens}''

''{cut to the Tandy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's why Homestar is able to breathe in the vacuum of space, Devon. Thanks for a— ''{record scratch, scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just watch me—

''{cut to a live action video of a hamburger}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —go to work on this hambroiger!

''{after a couple seconds, a Strong Bad figurine falls onto the burger with a splat}''

''{The Paper comes down}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad once again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow! That totally didn't work! ''{turns to face front again}'' Sbemailiarized Entertainment.

''{the logo appears, sans copyright marks, and the scene behind it fades to black}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah Yeah, No, Yeah! ''{these words appear beneath the logo as Strong Bad says them}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sbemailiarized Entertainment: Coming soon to the rest of 2009! ''{"*Coming soon to the rest of 2009" appears in the corner. The back button appears}''

''{after a few moments, the "coming soon" message fades, and cuts to Strong Bad typing at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's how you could do some kinda sbemail parody, 4th wall type thing, Greggy. I think it'd be a big hit! People would be all confused like, "Wait, did he really mean it? Or did he really, ''really'' mean it?" ''{the second "really" is typed in waving, green letters}'' You know like, "Am I watching him? Or is he watching me?" Up is down! Taft is white! And hremails are sbemails! Uhhh, can you say ''{high pitched}'' mindblow?

''{cut back to the logo}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time [[The Brothers Chaps]] have appeared as themselves on the website.
*The mockup of [[Main Page 1]] has only ten Main Page buttons in the corner, and the "What's New" cycles between "new toons menu", "new cartoon!", "another homepage", and "more messages". The buttons on the left are all drawn in the newer style, but the "What's New" button is done in an older, plainer style. Additionally, the "What's New" button is the only one on the page that responds to the mouse cursor.
*The Paper's many links to email Strong Bad work.
*This is the first appearance of a new (and as yet un-named) computer. It is unknown at this time when the mock e-mail happened, or if this computer will replace the [[Lappy]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspells "breathe" as "breath".

===Inside References===
*"LLC,,." in the show's title is from [[Thorax Corporation|Thorax Corporation LLC,,.]]

===Real-World References===
*The second time the logo appears, the run of trademarks and abbreviations ends with [[Wikipedia:GQ|GQ]]

Stinkoblade: new topic

I guess living in Hawaii means I'm the only one awake. :-P Anyway, I don't really know the procedures and protocols for the transcripting and the placenaming and characterlisting, so I'll stay out of that. And I don't have a forum account, so I won't post a thread there, I guess. But I started this off. [[User:Grumblebaker|Grumblebaker]] 03:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:That's good to know. But it doesn't need to go here, sorry. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Rapid blinking ==

Right after Homestar says Strong Bad "has to be quicker next time" he begins blinking at a very excessive rate. What do you think? a goof? a remark? What say you? --Domestibot
:You're right. Has anyone else noticed this? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah. I think it should go in "remarks". [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 21:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Carti-what Bode-what ==

well, trying to figure out the devil the couplets are called, and wondering: bodélé depression is a place in the sahara desert (depression?) and cartier is a what? (although there is a ''alain chartier'' who was a french poet) thoughts or alternatives? --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 06:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:The name Bodélé doesn't seem to exist outside of that obscure Sahara Desert reference. By contrast, Bodelet, like Cartier, is a common French surname, and is a more likely spelling. -Lydia
::I was thinking perhaps it was Homestar's pronunciation of [[Wikipedia:Charles_Baudelaire|Baudelaire]]? Perhaps a portmanteau with a Cartier Somebody whom I don't know about? (On a related note, "beige malaise" yields a surprising number of [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22beige+malaise%22 hits] predating this toon.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 13:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Potato who? ==
What does one-potato-two-potato mean? I mean, ''does'' it mean something or did they just make it up? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:It's a kind of [[Wikipedia:Counting-out game|counting-out game]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Coincidence? ==

I think that the Sideways Stories From Wayside School reference is just a coincidence. I don't think they were referencing that at the time, I think it was just something odd homestar did.
:You're right. I can't see any link between this toon and that (obscure?) childrens' book. Strong Bad did not lose because of his poor kicking ability. Strong Bad lost because Strong Sad caught the ball. There is no connection, apart from the fact that kickball features in both media. '''Stretch.''' {{User:The Chort/sig}} 12:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::There is a slight connection in that Ron's team consisted of only himself and Louis, versus a much larger team, but I agree that it's a stretch anyways. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== weclome back ==

The music in this toon sounds like the music from Weclome Back. --{{User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!}} 14:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:It's noted in the trivia section already. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:15, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Title ==

Why does the title card say "Kick-a Ball!" if the Toons menu says "Kick-A-Ball"? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.140|132.183.151.140]] 17:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Bubs ==

Does Bubs look a little different to anyone else? I think it's something with his eyes.--{{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 18:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

You can also see the bottom line of a mouth at one point. - [[User:Guy in a Box|Guy in a Box]] 20:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Sonic? ==

During the coin toss, Homestar sounds like
he's saying "Sides" instead of "Sonic".
Anyone think that?
:That "Sonic" is much more funny. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:37, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::I honestly can hear it eaither way. If i'm listening for "Sonic" I hear "Sonic". If i listen for "sides" i head "sides". If i'm not listening for anything specific i hear "sah". I say we give TBC the benefit of the doubt and go with the funnier one, which is clearly "sonic". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Mad's first crap ==

*This marks the first time Strong Mad has ever said [[crap]].
I've removed this fact several times for not being notable, and it keeps getting put back, so rather than revert warring, i'm bringing it here. I don't think it's notable to mention the first time people say words, whether it's a running gag word or not. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry for pointing this out, but that is the funniest header I've ever read. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 17:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::That was the point. Now how about an opinion? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:::I knew Strong Mad's mental capacity was around that of a kindergartener, but I didn't realize he was just now being potty trained. But in seriousness, I agree with Defender. Also, thank you for using talk in this situation. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.140|132.183.151.140]] 17:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Haven't we had similar discussions of this before? I think it was on [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], wherein Marzipan said "crap". See also [[Talk:3 Times Halloween Funjob#Unnotable]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:40, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think there's a case for including it for Marzipan, since it seems a bit out of character for her. (Not saying we should add it there; just that there's a case.) I don't think it's too out of character for Strong Mad, though, so I wouldn't note it here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
:I don't really think it's worth mentioning. Then again, I don't think we need an article listing every time Strong Bad smiles (which probably happens even more often than a character says "crap") so make of my opinion what you will.[[User:Some kind of scientist|Some kind of scientist]] 15:10, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
::I'd agrae, put it on, put it on, put it on! [[User:MICGAGUH]]
I think it should be noted. It really surprised me when I read it, how Strong Bad's biggest lackey, and a main character for 9 years, never said the word "crap". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

== Commish again ==

Is it worth noting that SB's rule change signature of "The Commish" is probably a reference to the TV show of the same name?
It's been referenced before as one of the tapes in the VCR on the [[Character Videos]] page. [[Special:Contributions/71.254.118.93|71.254.118.93]] 02:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think its a reference to that. For all we know, it could be a reference to those "Commish" Bud-Light commercials. But I think the gag is just a reference to professional sport commissioners as a whole. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 15:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== Isle of Pom? ==

Do you think the island that Tim-Tom was on could've been the Isle of Poms? Just a thought...
:Actually, that's not an unlikely possiblity. Note that Tim Tom seems to live near a beach, whereas The Isle of Poms, for no logical reason whatsoever, resembles a medicine capsule. Perhaps the beach is part of the Isle of Poms and TBC have decided to abandon the idea of a capsule for a proper island. It's a bit speculative at the moment though, so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions and start changing the articles until TBC release another toon set on the Isle of Poms. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== Tim-Tom? ==

How do we know what Tim-Tom's name is? I don't see anything regarding it.
:Strong bad claims that the ball is Pom Pom's cousin, then Homestar says "You mean Tim Tom?" [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 21:39, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

== Oooooooooo...Kay? ==
Can Strong Bad saying Oooooo.. kay be a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad 11]], where [[So and So]] says it?---{{User:Record307/sig}} 18:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
:I doubt it, it'd be "ummkay" if that were the case. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
::Basically the same thing.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 19:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

:::Don't think it's too similar. Even another "umm kay" wouldn't seem like a reference to me - they're just things people say... [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 21:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

== Unfair Pick ==
So I've been thinking about this for a few days and finally reached the following Conclusion: Strong Sad was on Strong Bad's Team even though Homestar called him. Allow me to explain, because this obviously contradicts the toon. First, Homestar picks Pom-Pom. Strong Bad makes a pick AND THEN Homestar picks Pom-Pom again, which also counts as a valid pick. Cut to Strong Sad, Homestar yells out Pom-Pom first and then another thing, making that his valid picks and nullifying his double-side-whisper-draft because it would have to be a triple-side-whisper-draft to account for the third pick (which I cannot remember), instead of Strong Sad. He also allows Strong Bad to pick Strong Sad as a team-mate without calling the whisper draft (perfectly legal according to the "rule" book) and telling him he can't in much the same way he did with Pom-Pom. By not calling Strong Sad then, he nulled his own cheating by allowing Strong Bad to pick. So there it is, let the "your wrong"s abound! [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 13:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm doin' a party, I'm makin' it happen, on Strong Bad Email.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: the cheat</div>
Strong bad, 
For a long time i've been wondering... How far can you 
throw the cheat? If you don't want to do that, could you 
beat the crud out of homestar for no reason? 
 
Lewis Rudkin 
Essex, England.
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads Essex as "S X"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Y'know, it's funny how this always seems to work out, Rudkin... ''{clears screen}'' but those just happen to be the first two events in the Strong Badathlon!

''{cuts to Strong Badathlon logo, slowly zooming in. Strong Badia is visible in the background. Trumpet music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, they also happen to be my two worst events. The Cheat Chuck is consistently dominated by the Kenyans. I mean the Poopsmith. Ever since he devised the Whatsitburied Slop

''{As he says this, it cuts to the Poopsmith next to a pile of whatsit, and then uses his shovel to fling a whatsit-covered The Cheat out of the pile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...that guy's unbeatable!

''{Cut to Coach Z standing next to the distance markers, watching The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Cheat noises as he flies through the air}''

'''COACH Z:''' Holy gorsh! It looks like a new record!

''{Cuts to Homsar and Marzipan sitting at a table having tea}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The Cheat flies onto the table, causing whatsit to fly onto Marzipan's face and onto the camera, smearing it on the lens.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Aah!

'''HOMSAR:''' Well, hello, chocolate cake!

''{Cuts to results board of the Strong Badathlon}''
:''Results 2007 StrongBadathlon''
:The Cheat Chuck
:: The Poopsmith......211pts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating is another event you'd think I'd be the best at. But the reigning champion seems to have intimate knowledge of Homestar's weak points.

''{As he speaks, it cuts to Homestar walking onto the screen with a sweat band and athletic outfit on.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{punches himself in the stomach}'' Come on you little so and so. ''{slaps himself in the face, then punches himself in the stomach}'' Is that all you got? ''{punches himself in the side, then the face}'' Oh yeah? Oh yeah? You think you got it like that? ''{punches himself 3 times}'' Whaddya think this is, you little placemat? ''{gets hit in face once}'' A diaper show? ''{gets hit in stomach once more}'' It's not a diaper show. ''{gets hit in stomach again}'' I think that's pretty obvious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, man, we should start putting those Homestar Vs. Homestar fights on pay-per-view. Instant classics! And speaking of pay-per-view,

''{Cuts to Strong Bad sitting in the Basement, with a "Remote Put" graphic in the upper left hand corner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Next up is the Remote Put.

''{Cuts to the TV with a "Ready?" graphic on the screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice over, reading text that appears on screen}'' Cute little girl from sit-com sings patriotic song.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dargh, I freakin' hate that little kid! Why'd they ever bring her on the show?! ''{throws remote}'' Agh!

''{The remote hits the wall, breaking in two, causing the batteries to fly out. Graphic comes on screen, accompanied with a buzzer noise, graphic reads "DISQUALIFICATION! BATTERY FAULT!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? These games are fixed! Check the East German's pants! Check the--

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Our coverage of the 2007 Strong Badathlon continues with the Clean and Jerk... Strong Mad's Underwears... Over His Head. Fortunately, you don't really have to clean them.

''{Cuts to Strong Bad and Coach Z standing behind Strong Mad, whose underwear is sticking out of his singlet, with a ruler against his back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh, are you trying to tell me that this man doesn't already have a wedgie of illegal proportions?

'''COACH Z:''' Nope, that's the reggalation starting point.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it, I'm boycotting these games.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THANK THE LORD!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' And finally, my strongest event, ''{graphic appears, and adds new picture with each word}'' Probably Something with Guitars, lasers, Robots, and Hot Girls.

''{Cut to Powered By The Cheat cartoon. A version of the Strong Badathlon logo morphs into a cloud at the top right corner as Strong Bad, with laser arms, fires at robots walking in the background. A woman with a green-and-white striped shirt walks by; when she walks past Strong Bad, he can be seen through the green stripes.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' ''{laser noises, shoots robots}'' Hey, wait, look Laconic, I got- I won the Good medal.

''{With one laser-hand, he holds up a "Good medal". Cut to a Powered By The Cheat version of The Cheat playing the guitar. The word "Streisand" appears across the screen (going off the right side of it) as someone says it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And after all the medals have been given to the wrong athletes, we come to the ending closimonies, celebrating poor sportsmanship, drug testing, and good ol' fashioned people twirling ribbons.

''{Cuts to Strong Sad and Marzipan twirling ribbons on a stage.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Togetherness.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Togetherness.

'''MARZIPAN and STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Encircling the World.

''{Homestar, with a white show suit over his shirt, jumps down and knocks Strong Sad and Marzipan off the stage.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and dancing with his legs rapidly moving}'' Just take those old glasses off the shelf...

''{Fireworks go off in the background, then a cut to Strong Bad sitting at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Rudkin Shampoo. Someteen Days of Glory! And after the closimonies, most BadAthletes immediately begin filming product endorsements while their names are still fresh in our minds.

''{Cuts to Strong Bad sitting in a kitchen with a box of cereal and a bowl.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, wipe my brow. ''{he swipes sweat off his face}'' Winning gold medals ''{he holds up one}'' takes a lot of hard cereal, and dedication. That's why I eat ''{hold up box}'' Temporarios! The official cereal of athletes you won't remember in two weeks! ''{cuts to a shot of the box and bowl of cereal with two gold medals hanging off the side of it}'' Temporarios, ''{speech bubble comes out of box}'' "Cuz I'm Don't Get Paid!"

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Athlon" in "strong badathlon" means "contest" in Greek (αθλον), and is found in the names of such events as the [[Wikipedia: biathlon|biathlon]], [[Wikipedia:triathlon|triathlon]], [[Wikipedia: pentathlon|pentathlon]], [[Wikipedia: heptathlon|heptathlon]], and [[Wikipedia: decathlon|decathlon]].
*East Germany, or the [[Wikipedia:German Democratic Republic|German Democratic Republic]], was a [[Wikipedia: Communism|Communist]] state that existed prior to the fall of the [[Wikipedia:Berlin Wall|Berlin Wall]] and dominated several Olympic events, in part because of their athletes' prolific use of [[Wikipedia:Steroids|steroids]].
*Olympic athletes often rely on product endorsements for income due to [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games#Amateurism and professionalism|Olympic amateurism regulations]].
*[[Wikipedia: Kenya|Kenyan]] athletes are noted for dominating the sport of [[Wikipedia: distance running|distance running]].
*The "clean and jerk" is a part of [[Wikipedia: weightlifting|weightlifting]].
*Though the next Summer Olympics weren't until 2008, many Olympic-style competitions had been held around the time this email came out.

===Trivia===
*Before The Paper comes down, you can see the words "Side Words" on the side of the Temporarios box.
**This is also visible when Strong Bad first holds up the box.
*This is the first occurence of [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad makes up his own olympics to answer some moron."

===Remarks===
*The Poopsmith being entrant Number 2 is a euphemism of [[Whatsit]].
*The audience for the ending closimonies consists of (from left to right) Homsar, The Poopsmith, The Cheat, and Strong Bad, silhouetted in the foreground.
*Coach Z says "record" in the sentence, "Holy gorsh! It looks like a new record!" without his normal accent.

===Goofs===
* Strong Bad's arm disappears briefly when he wipes the sweat off his forehead.
*There's a white spot on the "O" in the "don't" during the product endorsement.
* In the Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-out-of-Beating event, Homestar's athletic pants and upper body (except the head) face the same direction at all times, but his legs face toward the viewer. They only match each other when Homestar first walks in and when he is knocked into the air.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Temporarios.png|thumb|"Cuz I'm don't get a closed quote!]]
*The [[Mottos and Slogans|slogan]] for Temporarios cereal, "Cuz I'm don't get paid!" was originally missing the closing set of quotation marks (see right); this was quickly [[:Image:Temporarios fixed.png|corrected]].

===Inside References===
*Cableman Jorge was Strong Bad's alias in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]].
*"Someteen days of glory!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], where [[The Ugly One]] has a "Sweet Someteen Birthday".
*Guitars and lasers is possibly a reference to [[new hands]], where, near the end, Strong Bad laments not having chosen guitars and laser guns as possible prosthetics.
**Additionally, the lasers replacing Strong Bad's hands are the same style as the laser that replaces one of his hands in an Easter egg in the same email.
*[[Cherry Greg]] wins the Remote Put with 11 points.
*The "GOOD" medal references the "GOOD" ribbon awarded in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*[[Minor Foods#Temporarios|Temporarios]] is another instance of [[Breakfast Cereal|invented breakfast cereal]].
*The music for the commercial at the end is the same as the [[Schenectady Crispies]] spot in [[labor day]].
*After Strong Bad gets disqualified from "The Remote Put," he yells "Check the East German's [[pants]], Check the-".
*Closimonies and Temporarios are [[portmanteaus]].
*The Easter egg is another instance of [[duplicate characters]].

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar starts to sing during the "ending closimonies" is sung to the tune of the song "[[Wikipedia:Old Time Rock and Roll|Old Time Rock and Roll]]" by [[Wikipedia:Bob Seger|Bob Seger]]. He replaces the word "glasses" for "records" in the song, referencing a commercial from the 1980s for the [[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] fast food franchise's collectible set of [[Wikipedia: Alvin and the Chipmunks|Alvin and the Chipmunks]] glasses. The song lyrics were changed in this commercial (and sung by The Chipmunks) to "Just take those old glasses off the shelf / Get down to Hardees and help yourself / Those other glasses ain't got the same class / I want an Alvin and the Chipmunks glass".
*"Rudkin Shampoo" is a reference to the actual brand Redken Shampoo.
*Homestar fighting himself is possibly inspired by the [[wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]] sketch, [[wikipedia:Colin "Bomber" Harris vs Colin "Bomber" Harris|Colin "Bomber" Harris vs Colin "Bomber" Harris]].
**It may also be a reference to "same character vs. same character" battles in many fighting-style video games, such as [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter (series)|Street Fighter]] and [[Wikipedia:Mortal Kombat (series)|Mortal Kombat]] (in the first Mortal Kombat game, this was always the last fight before the Endurance Matches, known as "Mirror Match").
*"Streisand", from the [[Powered by The Cheat]] segment, most likely refers to the famous actress/singer [[Wikipedia:Barbra Streisand|Barbra Streisand]].
*The half-circles and circle on the corner of the Strong Badathlon logo resemble those of the [[wikipedia:Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] logo. 
*Obviously the entire email is a reference to the [[Olympics]].
**"Someteen days of glory!" is also a reference to a 1985 documentary covering the [[wikipedia:1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Summer Olympics]], [[imdb:tt0090559|Sixteen Days Of Glory]]
**Strong Bad's claim that he is going to boycott the games is most likely a reference to the U.S. led boycott of the [[Wikipedia:1980 Summer Olympics|1980 Moscow Olympics]], which included 64 other nations and was prompted by the [[Wikipedia: Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan| Soviet invasion of Afghanistan]]. This action was subsequently repeated by the [[Wikipedia:U.S.S.R.|USSR]] and 14 of their [[Wikipedia: Eastern Bloc|Eastern Bloc]] partners at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics claiming that the safety of their athletes could not be guaranteed.
**Temporarios are a parody of [[Wikipedia:Cheerios#Related cereals|Team Cheerios]], a variation of Cheerios that was available very briefly around the time of the [[Wikipedia:1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Summer Olympics]]. They also resemble [[Wikipedia: Froot Loops|Froot Loops]].
**The Whatsitburied Slop is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fosbury Flop|Fosbury Flop]], a technique used in high jumping.
**The "Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating" event takes its name from [[Wikipedia:Greco-Roman wrestling|Greco-Roman wrestling]], one of the three styles of wrestling contested in the [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games|Olympic Games]].

===Fast Forward===
*The DNA scene would be revisited in every email up through [[rough copy]] and in the big toon [[DNA Evidence]].
*Puppet Homestar #2 (the one on the right in the fight advertisement poster) will be seen again in [[Main Page 25]].

Stinkoblade: /* SBCG4AP Stats */

Hi, I'm Stinkoblade. I like the Homestar Runner Wiki and Homestar Runner.com quite a bit, spending several hours of one week in either/or/both. I often do homework to the styles of sbemail. Actually, it isn't as much as I used to, seeing everything on H*R at least 3 times makes it kinda unfun to do now.
[[image:stinkoman.PNG|thumb| Behold the mighty Stinkoblade! Errrr, well really just a big knife.]]

I have favorite characters among the universe, some of which might apply to everyone. They are: 
Homsar, Strong Bad, Graw Mad, The Chort, Coach Z

There are also things I wish TBC had been more detailed with. I've sent an e-mail to SB once about these things (in the same one), the geography of Free Country USA and The Thnikkaman. If they ever answer it, I'll let you guys know. On a different note, I shortened to being just The Thnikkaman on 5/6/2007, in the hopes that an easier question would get a response. On 11/9/2007, I asked Strong Bad about saving Homestar from the Horrible Painting, it probably will not get answered.....and I found the drafts of my other 2 e-mails as well. Turns out Yahoo saves them automatically, go figure.

== Personal Stuff ==
I live in Hudson, North Carolina (a black hole of cultural un-diversity), and am attending college as a sophmore. My real name is Josh and I am 18. My interests span the entire cosmos, from cooking to ancient mythology, with a deep and unbridled dislike of all things athletic. Despite that last tidbit, I can approach all subjects without intentional bias, giving good (or at least interesting if I can't help) advice based on my science/psychology background. You'd be surprised what you can do with a few years of intensive study. 
I will be majoring in High School Physics Education w/ a double-minor in Psychology and Spanish as a second language. The greatest moments for me are moments of inspiration, regardless of when or how it happens. I write almost as much as I read, having time for neither during hardcore school weeks. I edit when I can, but all of you beat me to it.

== 4th Wall Un-Breaks ==

I don't think that at least 2 of the 4th wall breaks are legitimate examples of that. If I notice more, I'll post them here first. 
1.) Strong Sad's Character Video: Marzipan would have told him why it was being made, and that makes the entire character page a 4th wall break as an extension (because everyone knew or else they wouldn't describe themselves). All he did was say that he didn't want to while Marzipan made it seem like she wasn't recording, and I feel that doesn't justify it as a 4th wall break.

2.) SB E-mail "keep cool": His explanation has clearly been "dubbed" in after original filming, as he doesn't just turn around and say it. This means that he knows that his e-mails are being recorded and is actually taking time to film an explanatory segment for the uninformed or the people who should already know. This is added AFTER the entire e-mail was originally filmed, though it was a part of it when the e-mail was published. It was made for and thus directed toward the audience without being a part of the e-mail itself. Because he recognizes that his e-mail show is being recorded, this being counted as a 4th wall when it was made by TBC to appear separate from the rest of the e-mail is seemingly pointless, but I admit that by definition it counts. It also implies that every sbemail is a big 4th wall break, but that may be stretching it just a little.

== The History of the Name ==

'''ME''': It all started... 
(''fast-forwarding, then play clicks'') 
'''ME''': ...and that's when I... 
(''fast-forwarding continues, play clicks again'') 
'''ME''': I had finally found something worthy of joining, GameFAQs.com, and I needed a name that defined me. I chose the words ''Dark'' and ''Samurai'' to be the template for any and all applications thereafter. They fit me because, as I said earlier, I have a morbid sense of humor and have chosen to live in the style of Bushido. I decided I needed e-mail to go with this new freedom, so I ran to... 
(''tape skips and speech is garbled'') 
'''ME''': ...and I was so sad. That was when I discovered Homestarrunner.com, through my cousin showing me the sbemail ''''dragon''''. I thought it was the greatest thing I had ever seen, but I still lacked a home computer of my own. So I forgot. It took 2 years for me to get my own computer, but I didn't remember Homestar, so I guess I just wasted your time. It took another 2 years for me to find it, and it was because of the same cousin. I think ''''Cool Things'''' was a few weeks old at the time, it was at the top of the '''New Stuff''' list. Another 6 months(or more) went by and I was at early March of 2007. I watched every sbemail and toon, which took a few weeks, and then I started randoming on '''The Lappy'''. I watched the sbemail ''''coloring'''' and was extremely confused by pressed bunson, so i googled it and found The Wiki. All that was about 4 days of random and 15 minutes of google. I read through '''''EVERY SINGLE SBEMAIL''''' before I joined. If you are trying to keep track, that was May 4th that I finished. I had sent an e-mail to Strong Bad on the 9th of April, and to initiate my joining the Wiki on the 6th I sent one under my new surname. Hmm? What was that? I'm rambling? Whatever, man. you just interrupted me. Now...where was I...? Oh! Right, the birth of my surname. Well, I knew that Dark and all his aliases would be inappropriate for a site about happy good times. In that state of mind, I chose close similarities from within the universe. I chose Stinkoman because he good-heartedly insults everyone around him, much to their not being offended (Dark). And I chose The Big Knife to represent my warrior within, if you will (Samurai). That about covers it, thanks for purch-...

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Girl, where's my money that you owe me from all those emails that you wrote me?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: love poem</div>
Dear Mr. Strong [Bad], 
I am in love. Unfortunately, I am absotively blunderous with 
my words which I speak. Will you help me write a love poem? 
Sincerely, 
Just Another Hopeless Romantic 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses just before reading "[Bad]". He reads "Hopeless" as "homeless".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, put on your patchy-stained jacket and gather 'round the fire in the trashcan, Homeless Romantic, 'cause the Rub [Doctor] is here to help!

''{Cut to the classroom, where Strong Bad is standing in front of the blackboard, wearing a charcoal gray turtleneck and balding brown hair. The word "Rub" is written on the blackboard next to an arrow pointing downwards.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. I'm Doctor Marvin Rubdown. Did you know that writing love poems is as easy as telling a girl she's hot with the fance-pantsiest words you can think of? ''{cut to a view from Strong Bad's front-left}'' For poetic inspiration, I like to swipe the names of scented candle fragrances!

''{Fade out. Fade in to Strong Bad, still with the sweater and hair, in front of a gray background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your eyes, ''{holds up a lit orange and green candle with a label saying "Sandalwood Sage Sunset" in his left hand}'' they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset.

''{He puts his hand back down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens ''{holds up a lit white candle with a label saying "Fresh Cotton Linens" in his right hand}'' hung to dry on the deck.

''{He puts his hand down, holds up a lit brown candle with a label saying "Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice" in his left hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth.

''{He puts his hand back down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And your nose: like an unscented emergency candle ''{holds up a white, unlabeled candle in his left hand}'' for when the power goes out.

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes.

''{Cut to a closeup of the blackboard; the "Rub" and the arrow have been erased but remain faintly visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as he speaks, the words in quotes appear on the blackboard in chalk}'' "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er, m'lo'er o' clo'er".

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad; Coach Z is leaning in from the right}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now you're sporkin' my language!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out! ''{Coach Z leaves quickly}'' Women love it when you talk all Elizabethan. ''{"-Elizabethan" appears to the right of Strong Bad.}'' But you shouldn't be afraid to get Kimberlian ''{"-Kimberlian" appears under "-Elizabethan"}'' or Meredithian ''{"-Meredithian" appears under "-Kimberlian"}'' if the need arises.

''{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene with Cheerleader and So and So; Cheerleader has an annoyed look and is wearing a shirt that reads "poi fect".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't stand the way Meredith talks!

''{Cut to a wider shot with Cheerleader, still looking annoyed, So and So, frowning, and Meredith, bending backward with a pleased look on her face and her tongue hanging out}''

'''MEREDITH:''' I'th hath a cruth on ethry boyth!

''{Cut to a yet wider shot; Cheerleader and So and So still look irritated; Meredith now has a quizzical look; Kim runs in with her mouth wide open and her hair flying behind her}''

'''KIM:''' I herly berly on gerly werly!

''{Arrowed Guy appears dressed as [[William Shakespeare]] and spears Meredith and Kim; Cheerleader and So and So appear pleased.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Shakespeared!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But if that frilly collar stuff is too olde schoole ''{pronounces the E's in both words as "eh"}'' for you, then why not try a more contemporary approach with an overweight R&B make-out jam? ''{music begins to play}'' As long as your tone is well-dressed and sweaty enough, it doesn't matter what you say!

''{Cut to a black [[Powered by The Cheat]] background with yellow lights shining out of it. Tenerence Love, holding a microphone and visibly perspiring, is in the lower right, slowly drifting to the upper left.}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ''{sings}'' This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight jam!

''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the lower left, drifting to the upper right}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight ham!

''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the upper center, drifting down}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' It may be five pounds...

''{The symbol for the [[Wikipedia:Pound sterling|Pound sterling]] appears in Tenerence Love's right sunglasses lens, the number 5 in his left lens}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ...ten pounds, ''{the 5 changes to a 10}'' twenty pounds,

''{The 10 changes to a 20. Tenerence Love disappears and two Tenerence Loves appear on both sides and drift toward the center}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' Just a little bit overweight, now welcome, girl, to sweaty town!

''{Cut back to the classroom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And when that gets you slapped and escorted from her building by security, you can always buy a fourteen-pound bag of extra-long—

''{Homestar Runner enters from the left wearing a charcoal gray turtleneck similar to Strong Bad's, but with a black star on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Ah, ha ha, ha ha! Oh, Strong Bad. It's funny to me when you try to play grown-up!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising his fist}'' What are you talking about, Mary Ann?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows I'm the only one around here with any real no-arms-on experience with the lady-makes! ''{cut back to wider view of the classroom}'' Just listen to this little make-out inducing number I threw together this mo'nin'! ''{starts dancing and speaking in rhythm}'' This mo'nin'! ''{Strong Bad begins to dance along}'' This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, but only 'cause that little song was kind of cool!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahem!

''{Fade out. Fade in on Homestar Runner, still wearing his turtleneck and now with brown hair similar to Strong Bad's in front of a gray background. He is on the left; to the right of him a paper comes down with the word "MARZiPAN" written vertically}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' M is for milk. ''{"Milk" appears next to the "M" on the paper}'' The real stuff! ''{looking annoyed}'' Not soy. ''{no longer annoyed}'' 
A is for not-organic apples. ''{"APPLES" appears next to the "A" on the paper}'' Pesticides ahoy! 
R is for raisins, ''{"RAISINS" appears next to the "R" on the paper}'' they give me bad gas! 
Z is too hard, so at this one, I'll pass. ''{"(PASS)" appears next to the "Z" on the paper}'' 
I is for inchiladas! ''{"inchiladas" appears next to the "i" on the paper}'' And—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar!

''{Cut back to the classroom, Homestar no longer has brown hair and his hat is back on}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what's up?

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not a love poem! That is a lavishly produced grocery list!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, ''{holds up a small piece of lined paper; writing on the other side saying "amazing thing" four times is faintly visible}'' ''here'' is my grocery list! Amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing.

''{Cut back to the wider view of the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, where you been shopping?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' SkyMall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you and Marzipan even dating right now?

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar Runner}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] is late 16th century England, coinciding with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It is considered the first great era of English poetry and literature, producing authors like [[Shakespeare]].
*The "removing of random letters" Strong Bad refers to is done in poems in order to maintain a strict [[Wikipedia:Meter (poetry)|poetic meter]].
*Homestar's "lavishly produced grocery list" actually resembles an [[Wikipedia:Acrostic|acrostic]] poem.

===Remarks===
*The shadows' offset on "-Elizabethan" and "-Kimberlian" slightly change when "-Meredithian" comes on screen.
**"-Elizabethan" also slightly moves as "-Kimberlian" is added.
*The title and subtext of ''Homeless Romantic'' reiterates a point made in [[kind of cool]], alongside many of the other [[Senor Cardgage]] appearances, that implied he was homeless.
*The sweat The Cheat uses in the Tenerence Love Video is the same style as what is used in the old [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver]], though it is smaller in this incarnation. The sweat itself is from the Strong Brew Screensaver.

===Inside References===
*Homestar mentions his [[lack of visible arms]].
*Homestar's poem has each letter of Marzipan's name capitalized, except for one [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]].
*Homestar describes [[Not X|not]]-organic apples.
*Meredith's line echoes [[The Ugly One]]'s line, "I have a crush on every boy!", from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].

*The Easter egg references Brunswick [[Stew]], first mentioned in [[New Boots]].

*Homestar's grocery list is made entirely up of [[nondescript nouns]].
*Tenerence Love's [[Green tongues|tongue is green]] and his song mentions [[ham]].
*Homestar previously tried to use a grocery list for an unrelated reason in [[The Interview]].

=== Real-World References ===
*"I herly berly on gerly werly" is a reference to a line spoken by the second witch in [[Shakespeare]]'s [[Wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]. The line is "When the hurlyburly's done, when the battle's lost and won."
**This reference could also be a combined reference to the song [[Wikipedia:Blinded By The Light|"Blinded By The Light"]] by [[Wikipedia:Bruce Springsteen|Bruce Springsteen]] which the lyric goes "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride"
*Tenerence Love's overweight "R&B make-out jam" is a reference to soul singers such as [[Wikipedia:Barry White|Barry White]] and [[Wikipedia:Luther Vandross|Luther Vandross]], who were overweight singers but still attractive to female audiences.
*Homestar's "This Mo'nin" jam (specifically the way he says "Mo'nin") sounds like [[Wikipedia:Newcleus|Newcleus]]' hip-hop classic, "Jam On It".

Dear Mr. Strong [Bad], 
I am in love. Unfortunately, I am absotively blunderous with 
my words which I speak. Will you help me write a love poem? 
Sincerely, 
Just Another Hopeless Romantic 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses just before reading "[Bad]". He reads "Hopeless" as "homeless".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, put on your patchy-stained jacket and gather 'round the fire in the trashcan, Homeless Romantic, 'cause the Rub [Doctor] is here to help!

''{Cut to the classroom, where Strong Bad is standing in front of the blackboard, wearing a charcoal gray turtleneck and balding brown hair. The word "Rub" is written on the blackboard next to an arrow pointing downwards.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. I'm Doctor Marvin Rubdown. Did you know that writing love poems is as easy as telling a girl she's hot with the fance-pantsiest words you can think of? ''{cut to a view from Strong Bad's front-left}'' For poetic inspiration, I like to swipe the names of scented candle fragrances!

''{Fade out. Fade in to Strong Bad, still with the sweater and hair, in front of a gray background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your eyes, ''{holds up a lit orange and green candle with a label saying "Sandalwood Sage Sunset" in his left hand}'' they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset.

''{He puts his hand back down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens ''{holds up a lit white candle with a label saying "Fresh Cotton Linens" in his right hand}'' hung to dry on the deck.

''{He puts his hand down, holds up a lit brown candle with a label saying "Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice" in his left hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth.

''{He puts his hand back down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And your nose: like an unscented emergency candle ''{holds up a white, unlabeled candle in his left hand}'' for when the power goes out.

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes.

''{Cut to a closeup of the blackboard; the "Rub" and the arrow have been erased but remain faintly visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as he speaks, the words in quotes appear on the blackboard in chalk}'' "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er, m'lo'er o' clo'er".

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad; Coach Z is leaning in from the right}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now you're sporkin' my language!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out! ''{Coach Z leaves quickly}'' Women love it when you talk all Elizabethan. ''{"-Elizabethan" appears to the right of Strong Bad.}'' But you shouldn't be afraid to get Kimberlian ''{"-Kimberlian" appears under "-Elizabethan"}'' or Meredithian ''{"-Meredithian" appears under "-Kimberlian"}'' if the need arises.

''{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene with Cheerleader and So and So; Cheerleader has an annoyed look and is wearing a shirt that reads "poi fect".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't stand the way Meredith talks!

''{Cut to a wider shot with Cheerleader, still looking annoyed, So and So, frowning, and Meredith, bending backward with a pleased look on her face and her tongue hanging out}''

'''MEREDITH:''' I'th hath a cruth on ethry boyth!

''{Cut to a yet wider shot; Cheerleader and So and So still look irritated; Meredith now has a quizzical look; Kim runs in with her mouth wide open and her hair flying behind her}''

'''KIM:''' I herly berly on gerly werly!

''{Arrowed Guy appears dressed as [[William Shakespeare]] and spears Meredith and Kim; Cheerleader and So and So appear pleased.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Shakespeared!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But if that frilly collar stuff is too olde schoole ''{pronounces the E's in both words as "eh"}'' for you, then why not try a more contemporary approach with an overweight R&B make-out jam? ''{music begins to play}'' As long as your tone is well-dressed and sweaty enough, it doesn't matter what you say!

''{Cut to a black [[Powered by The Cheat]] background with yellow lights shining out of it. Tenerence Love, holding a microphone and visibly perspiring, is in the lower right, slowly drifting to the upper left.}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ''{sings}'' This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight jam!

''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the lower left, drifting to the upper right}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight ham!

''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the upper center, drifting down}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' It may be five pounds...

''{The symbol for the [[Wikipedia:Pound sterling|Pound sterling]] appears in Tenerence Love's right sunglasses lens, the number 5 in his left lens}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ...ten pounds, ''{the 5 changes to a 10}'' twenty pounds,

''{The 10 changes to a 20. Tenerence Love disappears and two Tenerence Loves appear on both sides and drift toward the center}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' Just a little bit overweight, now welcome, girl, to sweaty town!

''{Cut back to the classroom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And when that gets you slapped and escorted from her building by security, you can always buy a fourteen-pound bag of extra-long—

''{Homestar Runner enters from the left wearing a charcoal gray turtleneck similar to Strong Bad's, but with a black star on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Ah, ha ha, ha ha! Oh, Strong Bad. It's funny to me when you try to play grown-up!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising his fist}'' What are you talking about, Mary Ann?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows I'm the only one around here with any real no-arms-on experience with the lady-makes! ''{cut back to wider view of the classroom}'' Just listen to this little make-out inducing number I threw together this mo'nin'! ''{starts dancing and speaking in rhythm}'' This mo'nin'! ''{Strong Bad begins to dance along}'' This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, but only 'cause that little song was kind of cool!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahem!

''{Fade out. Fade in on Homestar Runner, still wearing his turtleneck and now with brown hair similar to Strong Bad's in front of a gray background. He is on the left; to the right of him a paper comes down with the word "MARZiPAN" written vertically}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' M is for milk. ''{"Milk" appears next to the "M" on the paper}'' The real stuff! ''{looking annoyed}'' Not soy. ''{no longer annoyed}'' 
A is for not-organic apples. ''{"APPLES" appears next to the "A" on the paper}'' Pesticides ahoy! 
R is for raisins, ''{"RAISINS" appears next to the "R" on the paper}'' they give me bad gas! 
Z is too hard, so at this one, I'll pass. ''{"(PASS)" appears next to the "Z" on the paper}'' 
I is for inchiladas! ''{"inchiladas" appears next to the "i" on the paper}'' And—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar!

''{Cut back to the classroom, Homestar no longer has brown hair and his hat is back on}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what's up?

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not a love poem! That is a lavishly produced grocery list!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, ''{holds up a small piece of lined paper; writing on the other side saying "amazing thing" four times is faintly visible}'' ''here'' is my grocery list! Amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing.

''{Cut back to the wider view of the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, where you been shopping?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' SkyMall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you and Marzipan even dating right now?

*[[Wikipedia:Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] is late 16th century England, coinciding with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It is considered the first great era of English poetry and literature, producing authors like [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. The language of the time is now considered archaic.
*The "removing of random letters" Strong Bad refers to is done in poems in order to maintain a strict [[Wikipedia:Meter (poetry)|poetic meter]].
*Tenerence Love's overweight "R&B make-out jam" is a reference to soul singers such as [[Wikipedia:Barry White|Barry White]] and [[Wikipedia:Luther Vandross|Luther Vandross]], who were overweight but still attractive to female audiences.
*Homestar's "lavishly produced grocery list" actually resembles an [[Wikipedia:Acrostic|acrostic]] poem.

===Remarks===
*The shadows offset on "-Elizabethan" and "-Kimberlian" slightly change when "-Meredithian" comes on screen.
**"-Elizabethan" also slightly moves as "-Kimberlian" is added.
*The Cheat has apparently gotten better at his Flash animations, as there are no mistakes in Tenerence Love's Music video, exempting the "£5-10-20" on his glasses (probably for effect), as well as a full range of mouth movements.
*The title and subtext of ''Homeless Romantic'' reiterates a point made in [[kind of cool]], alongside many of the other [[Senor Cardgage]] appearances, that implied he was homeless.

===Inside References===
*Homestar mentions his [[lack of visible arms]].
*Homestar's poem has each letter of Marzipan's name capitalized, except for one [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]].
*Homestar describes [[Not X|not]]-organic apples.
*Meredith's line echoes [[The Ugly One]]'s line, "I have a crush on every boy!", from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Cheerleader's shirt reads "poifect", another instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*The Easter egg references Brunswick [[Stew]], first mentioned in [[New Boots]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Parents|grandparents]].
*Homestar admits that [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship#Homestar and Marzipan Breaking Up|Marzipan broke up with him]].
*Homestar's grocery list is made entirely up of [[nondescript nouns]].
*Tenerence Love's [[Green tongues|tongue is green]] and his song mentions [[ham]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is an airline catalog from which passengers can order various items after leaving the plane, or by use of airplane telephones. Most of the items in the catalog are gadgets and things that would appeal to those with higher incomes.
*"I herly berly on gerly werly" is a reference to a lyric in the [[Wikipedia: Manfred Mann's Earth Band|Manfred Mann's Earth Band]] rendition of [[Wikipedia: Blinded by the Light|"Blinded By the Light"]] that was originally performed by [[Wikipedia: Bruce Springsteen|Bruce Springsteen]]. The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
*The Strong Bad Phone is similar in concept to the [[Wikipedia:Bat phone|Bat phone]], a device Commissioner Gordon used to contact [[Batman]] in time of need.

Stinkoblade: /* Pages I have made */

Hi, I'm Stinkoblade. I like the Homestar Runner Wiki and Homestar Runner.com quite a bit, spending several hours of one week in either/or/both. I often do homework to the styles of sbemail. Actually, it isn't as much as I used to, seeing everything on H*R at least 3 times makes it kinda unfun to do now.
[[image:stinkoman.PNG|thumb| Behold the mighty Stinkoblade! Errrr, well really just a big knife.]]

I have favorite characters among the universe, some of which might apply to everyone. They are: 
Homsar, Strong Bad, Graw Mad, The Chort, Coach Z

There are also things I wish TBC had been more detailed with. I've sent an e-mail to SB once about these things (in the same one), the geography of Free Country USA and The Thnikkaman. If they ever answer it, I'll let you guys know. On a different note, I shortened to being just The Thnikkaman on 5/6/2007, in the hopes that an easier question would get a response. On 11/9/2007, I asked Strong Bad about saving Homestar from the Horrible Painting, it probably will not get answered.....and I found the drafts of my other 2 e-mails as well. Turns out Yahoo saves them automatically, go figure.

== Personal Stuff ==
I live in Hudson, North Carolina (a black hole of cultural un-diversity), and am attending college as a freshman. My real name is Josh and I am 18. My interests span the entire cosmos, from cooking to ancient mythology, with a deep and unbridled dislike of all things athletic. Despite that last tidbit, I can approach all subjects without intentional bias, giving good (or at least interesting if I can't help) advice based on my science/psychology background. You'd be surprised what you can do with a few years of intensive study.
I will be majoring in High School Physics Education w/ a double-minor in Psychology and Spanish as a second language. The greatest moments for me are moments of inspiration, regardless of when or how it happens. I write almost as much as I read, having time for neither during hardcore school weeks. I edit when I can, but all of you beat me to it. I have not created any pages outside of my user page.

== 4th Wall Un-Breaks ==

I don't think that at least 2 of the 4th wall breaks are legitimate examples of that. If I notice more, I'll post them here first. 
1.) Strong Sad's Character Video: Marzipan would have told him why it was being made, and that makes the entire character page a 4th wall break as an extension (because everyone knew or else they wouldn't describe themselves). All he did was say that he didn't want to while Marzipan made it seem like she wasn't recording, and I feel that doesn't justify it as a 4th wall break.

2.) SB E-mail "keep cool": His explanation has clearly been "dubbed" in after original filming, as he doesn't just turn around and say it. This means that he knows that his e-mails are being recorded and is actually taking time to film an explanatory segment for the uninformed or the people who should already know. This is added AFTER the entire e-mail was originally filmed, though it was a part of it when the e-mail was published. It was made for and thus directed toward the audience without being a part of the e-mail itself. Because he recognizes that his e-mail show is being recorded, this being counted as a 4th wall when it was made by TBC to appear separate from the rest of the e-mail is seemingly pointless, but I admit that by definition it counts. It also implies that every sbemail is a big 4th wall break, but that may be stretching it just a little.

'''ME''': It all started...

'''ME''': ...and that's when I...

I chose the words ''Dark'' and ''Samurai'' to be the template for any and all applications thereafter. They fit me because, as I said earlier, I have a morbid sense of humor and have chosen to live in the style of Bushido. I decided I needed e-mail to go with this new freedom, so I ran to...

'''ME''': ...and I was so sad. That was when I discovered Homestarrunner.com, through my cousin showing me the sbemail ''''dragon''''. I thought it was the greatest thing I had ever seen, but I still lacked a home computer of my own. So I forgot. It took 2 years for me to get my own computer, but I didn't remember Homestar, so I guess I just wasted your time. It took another 2 years for me to find it, and it was because of the same cousin. I think ''''Cool Things'''' was a few weeks old at the time, it was at the top of the '''New Stuff''' list. Another 6 months(or more) went by and I was at early March of 2007. I watched every sbemail and toon, which took a few weeks, and then I started randoming on '''The Lappy'''. I watched the sbemail ''''coloring'''' and was extremely confused by pressed bunson, so i googled it and found The Wiki. All that was about 4 days of random and 15 minutes of google. I read through '''''EVERY SINGLE SBEMAIL''''' before I joined. If you are trying to keep track, that was May 4th that I finished. I had sent an e-mail to Strong Bad on the 9th of April, and to initiate my joining the Wiki on the 6th I sent one under my new surname. Hmm? What was that? I'm rambling? Whatever, man. you just interrupted me. Now...where was I...? Oh! Right, the birth of my surname. Well, I knew that Dark and all his aliases would be inappropriate for a site about happy good times. In that state of mind, I chose close similarities from within the universe. I chose Stinkoman because he good-heartedly insults everyone around him, much to their not being offended (Dark).

'Trogdor Burninates Phonics' is a word game created by [[Videlectrix]]. The goal of the game seems to be to identify various aspects of phonics before the archers can harm Trogdor. It made its debut in the flash advertisement for [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]] featured on Homestarrunner.com.

== How long has it been and is it relevant? ==
What I'm saying is has the "Children's book world" become relevant enough for mention, if it doesn't have its own page already? I know that the characters are mentioned (see [[Prince of Town]] ), but what about the universe? Also on top of that, was this last seen in sbemail 150 or after that? Thanks. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 14:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

This was last seen in sbemail "hundreth." It's been there since the tandy 365. On a side note, I was trying to make this for a while, but It wouldn't let me. The website just sent me to my website editor and didn't even let me do anything.[[User:F123979|F123979]]

How many times was it actually seen though is my question. I can only think of 3 off the top of my head [[origins]], [[alternate universe]], and sbemail 100. That isn't counting this short, and also not counting the versions of the actual books available on the site, which have a similar animation style but different scenery in the background.

== Question Mark? ==

On the cover for The Strong Sad Wets Yonder Bed, there is a faint question mark on the bedspread. Thoughts? [[User:EYanyo|EYanyo]] 19:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

== Dubious "fact" ==

*[[Wikipedia:Lands' End|Lands' End]] is a clothing retailer that specializes in casual clothing, luggage, and home furnishings. It is also [[Wikipedia:Land's End|a part of Cornwall]] and a location in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]].

I just removed this... if there was *ever* such a thing as a "TTATOT" fact, *this* is it. Given the context, I can't see it referring to *any* of these things, especially considering this is *already covered in Explanations*. -{{User:YK/sig}} 21:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
: I'd imagine it's one of those (I would guess the clothing retailer) but the fact that there are three Land's' Ends signifies that we should treat it as TTATOT unless we know for sure, agreed. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:: The reason we exclude most TTATOTs is because if something could refer to many things (and especially if these things are a stretch), then it probably refers to nothing in particular. That said, TBC didn't make up the term and in this case were more than likely intending to refer to ''something'', which is notable in the article. There's got to be a way to include it that either acknowledges the ambiguity or goes with the most popular use of the term. Perhaps we could pick the best one and also link to the disambiguation page:
:::''[[Wikipedia:Lands' End|Lands' End]] is a clothing retailer that specializes in casual clothing, luggage, and home furnishings. The term also has several [[Wikipedia:Land's End (disambiguation)|other uses]].''
::[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::It's as likely as not, however, that the reference is simply to "Land sakes" and they chose a common similar phrase, without having any real thought that it was one of any of the possible meanings over another. Certainly none of the suggested Lands Ends bear any semantic relationship to the plot. I say no mention, save here, unless we learn otherwise that it was intended to reference one of them. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Dot com is correct in that, if the Lands Ends have different origins and one is most likely, it's not really TTATOT. The question is a) which is most likely (though consensus seems to be on the clothing manufacturer) and b) are the origins really different (At least between the clothes and Cornwall, I don't know, actually... but they're probably different enough anyway that we could stick with one.) If we accept those premises, then it's a special case of not-quite-TTATOT that is different from a true TTATOT. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Since my Lappy's Flash player might still be bloken I had to watch this thing on the Wii Internet Channel. I noticed all the onscreen text, including the words on the covers and the Compy, turned invisable and the final scene was 3 people, floppy discs, and a computer screen floating in white space. Are these flaws notable, or were they caused by the dated Flash player again? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:As a general rule, failure to work in an old Flash player isn't notable. If it failed to work in the current Flash player, that would be notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::Opera (The Wiinet browser, if nobody knew that) is Flash 7 (or maybe 8) standard and hasn't been able to run any toons successfully for me in a least 3 weeks. I'm not counting anything released before 3 weeks ago and I haven't tried the newest sbemails yet. I think the TBC upgraded. Also, it can't run game demos on GameStop.com, if the game has one.

Strong Bad gives safety tips for his Gameways.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' White Vastness, [[Strong Bad's Basement]]

'''Date:''' Tuesday, April 1, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 1:53

==Transcript==
''{Music begins and text fades in from a white background: "And now an important safety announcement". Strong Bad walks forward in a flight attendant's uniform.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello. And welcome to Strong Bad Gameways. Thank you for playing with us today. Please take a moment to familiarize your bad self with the following safety precautions.

''{The text "Safety Precautions" appears next to Strong Bad in dripping blue letters. Fade to a closeup of a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Due to the possibility of in-game wiggle and waggle, it is recommended that you play your game in a large, open space, free of debris, rubble, and flotsam and Jetsons.

''{Arrows and text appear during the above monologue to demonstrate "Wiggle" and "Waggle". A watercolor picture of a man swinging a Wii remote appears to demonstrate a "large, open space". Sketches of a vase of flowers, a flaming military jeep, a message in a bottle, and a cross-eyed George Jetson appear to demonstrate "debris", "rubble", "flotsam", and "Jetsons", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ideal play spaces include: gymnasiums, abandoned airplane hangars, deserts, and fruitèd plains.

''{The man swinging a remote appears in the above environments on each verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to a sketch of a room with an open window and a Wii remote on a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you are seated in a window seat, pleased be advised that the Baba Jaga may show up to steal your firstborn baby.

''{The Baba Jaga appears carrying a sack with a baby on the verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, wearing an inflatable vest and holding a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lastly, your game controller is equipped with a safety cover that can double as a flotation device. ''{closeup of Wii remote}'' Simply pull on the cord, and the device will inflate.

''{Strong Sad pulls on a tab on the bottom of the remote, and the Wii jacket inflates.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But we're not quite safe enough yet. ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' At this time, you may want to inflate your ''own'' safety vest to prevent ''anything'' from ever happening.

''{Cut to Strong Sad. He pulls the cord to inflate his vest and it engulfs him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Waah!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' On behalf of our awesome-based crew, thank you for playing with us. You are now fully prepared to enjoy your game in total unplayable safety.

''{Closeup of the "Strong Bad Gameways" logo, a golden [[The Cheat]] with wings. Music fades.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Strong Bad trapped in inflated vests in their basement. Their Wii remotes are on the floor, protected in inflated jackets.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think my contents may have shifted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man. This is the best game I've never played!

''{Cut to a closeup of the game on the TV. In the game, a 3D Strong Bad sprite is standing at The Stick and looking around. The score is -1000 and the text "Actual Gameplay Footage" flashes over the screen. A Wii remote appears onscreen with the flashing text "Do something!" The Strong Bad sprite scratches himself and shrugs, and the text "Nevermind." appears next to the Wii remote. The Strong Bad sprite hangs his head and walks away, and the text "Game Over" fills the screen.}''

User:Stinkoblade

2008-04-02T14:47:45Z

Stinkoblade: I quit Mapling(thats what it's called) and Nobody cares about my unanswered sbemails.

Hi, I'm Stinkoblade. I like the Homestar Runner Wiki and Homestar Runner.com quite a bit, spending several hours of one week in either/or/both. I often do homework to the styles of sbemail. Actually, it isn't as much as I used to, seeing everything on H*R at least 3 times makes it kinda unfun to do now.
[[image:stinkoman.PNG|thumb| Behold the mighty Stinkoblade! Errrr, well really just a big knife.]]

I have favorite characters among the universe, some of which might apply to everyone. They are: 
Homsar, Strong Bad, Graw Mad, The Chort, Coach Z

There are also things I wish TBC had been more detailed with. I've sent an e-mail to SB once about these things (in the same one), the geography of Free Country USA and The Thnikkaman. If they ever answer it, I'll let you guys know. On a different note, I shortened to being just The Thnikkaman on 5/6/2007, in the hopes that an easier question would get a response. On 11/9/2007, I asked Strong Bad about saving Homestar from the Horrible Painting, it probably will not get answered.....and I found the drafts of my other 2 e-mails as well. Turns out Yahoo saves them automatically, go figure.

== Personal Stuff ==
I live in Hudson, North Carolina (a black hole of cultural un-diversity), and am attending college as a freshman. My real name is Josh and I am 18. My interests span the entire cosmos, from cooking to ancient mythology, with a deep and unbridled dislike of all things athletic. Despite that last tidbit, I can approach all subjects without intentional bias, giving good (or at least interesting if I can't help) advice based on my science/psychology background. You'd be surprised what you can do with a few years of intensive study.
I will be majoring in High School Physics Education w/ a double-minor in Psychology and Spanish as a second language. The greatest moments for me are moments of inspiration, regardless of when or how it happens. I write almost as much as I read, having time for neither during hardcore school weeks. I edit when I can, but all of you beat me to it. I have not created any pages outside of my user page.

== 4th Wall Un-Breaks ==

I don't think that at least 2 of the 4th wall breaks are legitimate examples of that. If I notice more, I'll post them here first. 
1.) Strong Sad's Character Video: Marzipan would have told him why it was being made, and that makes the entire character page a 4th wall break as an extension (because everyone knew or else they wouldn't describe themselves). All he did was say that he didn't want to while Marzipan made it seem like she wasn't recording, and I feel that doesn't justify it as a 4th wall break.

2.) SB E-mail "keep cool": His explanation has clearly been "dubbed" in after original filming, as he doesn't just turn around and say it. This means that he knows that his e-mails are being recorded and is actually taking time to film an explanatory segment for the uninformed or the people who should already know. This is added AFTER the entire e-mail was originally filmed, though it was a part of it when the e-mail was published. It was made for and thus directed toward the audience without being a part of the e-mail itself. Because he recognizes that his e-mail show is being recorded, this being counted as a 4th wall when it was made by TBC to appear separate from the rest of the e-mail is seemingly pointless, but I admit that by definition it counts. It also implies that every sbemail is a big 4th wall break, but that may be stretching it just a little.

== The History of the Name ==

'''ME''': It all started... 
(''fast-forwarding, then play clicks'') 
'''ME''': ...and that's when I... 
(''fast-forwarding continues, play clicks again'') 
'''ME''': I had finally found something worthy of joining, GameFAQs.com, and I needed a name that defined me. I chose the words ''Dark'' and ''Samurai'' to be the template for any and all applications thereafter. They fit me because, as I said earlier, I have a morbid sense of humor and have chosen to live in the style of Bushido. I decided I needed e-mail to go with this new freedom, so I ran to... 
(''tape skips and speech is garbled'') 
'''ME''': ...and I was so sad. That was when I discovered Homestarrunner.com, through my cousin showing me the sbemail ''''dragon''''. I thought it was the greatest thing I had ever seen, but I still lacked a home computer of my own. So I forgot. It took 2 years for me to get my own computer, but I didn't remember Homestar, so I guess I just wasted your time. It took another 2 years for me to find it, and it was because of the same cousin. I think ''''Cool Things'''' was a few weeks old at the time, it was at the top of the '''New Stuff''' list. Another 6 months(or more) went by and I was at early March of 2007. I watched every sbemail and toon, which took a few weeks, and then I started randoming on '''The Lappy'''. I watched the sbemail ''''coloring'''' and was extremely confused by pressed bunson, so i googled it and found The Wiki. All that was about 4 days of random and 15 minutes of google. I read through '''''EVERY SINGLE SBEMAIL''''' before I joined. If you are trying to keep track, that was May 4th that I finished. I had sent an e-mail to Strong Bad on the 9th of April, and to initiate my joining the Wiki on the 6th I sent one under my new surname. Hmm? What was that? I'm rambling? Whatever, man. you just interrupted me. Now...where was I...? Oh! Right, the birth of my surname. Well, I knew that Dark and all his aliases would be inappropriate for a site about happy good times. In that state of mind, I chose close similarities from within the universe. I chose Stinkoman because he good-heartedly insults everyone around him, much to their not being offended (Dark). And I chose The Big Knife to represent my warrior within, if you will (Samurai). That about covers it, thanks for purch-...

Basement of the Brothers Strong

2008-04-02T14:39:48Z

Stinkoblade: /* Appearances */ Fixing my mis-edit

[[Image:The Basement.PNG|thumb|300px|Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and Homestar in front of Trogdor arcade cabinet]]
[[Image:Basement ceiling.PNG|thumb|100px|Da Ceiling.]]
[[Image:Sbbasement-kidspeedy.PNG|thumb|150px|SB's basement in [[Kid Speedy]]]]

'''Strong Bad's Basement''' is where [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], and [[The Cheat]] hang out, watch [[telebision]], and play [[TROGDOR!|the Trogdor game]]. Many things happen down here, including (but not limited to) The Cheat lying in a [[crisper drawer]]. Strong Bad sleeps on [[the couch]], as shown in the emails "[[cheatday]]", "[[other days]]", "[[morning routine]]", "[[underlings]]" and in the short "[[The Li'l Brudder Show]]". It was revealed in [[couch patch]], that [[Coach Z]] threw up into the patch-covered rip in the couch after eating some of Strong Bad's gumbo. There must be two ways into the basement, as characters have been seen entering from both sides of the room. The basement has a drop ceiling and fluorescent lighting (as shown in [[couch patch]] and [[Strong Mad#Character Video Transcript|Strong Mad's Character Video]]).

According to the Easter egg in [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]], [[Strong Bad's room]] is in the basement of the house. This is confirmed in [[nightlife]], when Strong Sad enters Strong Bad's bedroom from the main room.

[[The Brothers Chaps]]' office, shown in [[Making of Email 100]], has the walls painted with the same design as Strong Bad's basement. The stripe on the wall is almost identical to the stripe in the downstairs residence on the 1980s sitcom [[Wikipedia:Too Close for Comfort (TV series)|Too Close For Comfort]].

Stinkoblade: /* Now with more Wii */

== GREETINGS! ==

I finally got around to getting rid of my welcome, thank you for sending it DeFender (I learned a lot about wiki editing from my own page and that welcome). Well say what you will, just don't kill me. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 03:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

== New and.... uh.... Better? ==
Am I allowed to toot my own horn here? I hope so cause Here I GO!!!!! As of June 8th, 2007, I am officially a highschool graduate. Why so long to say anything here? I don't know. Or know that you even care. But I am the second of 13 grandchildren to make it into highschool and back out, out of 18 total grandchildren. Basically 2/13 possible graduates. Thought it would be better than putting it on my user page, this ''is'' a talk subject is my world of illusions and delusions. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 17:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

== Behold, The Satellite! ==
I got me a Lappy! Yay! I've had it since September 22nd, and I hadn't been able to keep up with the wiki because my PC decided it was going to die. I have checked semi-regularly since then, and this is the first of my edits since I got it. By the way, if anybody knows how to fix a computer that was broke because the processor fan messed up, then wouldn't turn on when the fan was replaced please reply here. I've read some of the other user pages, so I know that some of you are capable in technizardry (Technological wizardry). Thanks if you help, go away if you don't. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 14:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

== And then there was college ==
I have been swamped, and even though I have been a member for several months, no one has spoken to me. It's ok, I don't mind because I'm that guy that nobody really knows about. I should really do more for the wiki, but it is hard with college and all that. If you guys do find a position for an overworked college student, lemme know......if you read this. Also, we gave up on the computer, so don't worry about finding solutions. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 23:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

=Now with more Wii=
Ok folks, my first official edit on my Wii. This crap is hard without a keyboard! [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 23:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch, with Strong Mad looking over the back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' With a rusty fork and a guitar string. Good response! Me too, actually. All right, what if they ask you about the world situation?

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Meh"! Classic! That'll really knock 'em dead. ''{cut to closeup of Strong Bad}'' Especially that stodgy old Madame Bodewell. That lady has it in for us. ''{back to the three on the couch}'' Just because you peed on her dress that one time.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M SORRY.

''{cut to gold plated Cat Mess trophy with bags of Cat Mess along the side}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Welcome back to the Cat Mess Inbredtational Pet Show, ''{fade into the gym where the contest is taking place, panning along the table}'' where the hotly contest Best In Sheen competition is just getting underway! ''{camera stops on Marzipan and Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, Marzipan. We're gonna clean house this year. ''{two-shot}'' We're gonna clean apartment! We're gonna clean dorm room. We're gonna clean time share! ''{Marzipan puts a leash on Homestar}''

''{cut Strong Bad and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat. This is going to be a piece of cake for you. This is gonna be a piece of pie! This is gonna be a piece of cobbler! This gonna be a piece of novelty dessert pizza! Now get out there and do your thing! ''{The Cheat dashes off}''

''{montage of The Cheat: The Cheat puts a drop of Puke Drops into Mme. Bodewell's water; distracts Pom Pom with a pinup girl and breaks Trivia Time with a toy; gnaws on The King Of Town's low fat grill's power cord; dances while a sign that says "Dance Competition?" is in the background}''

''{a wipe with the Pet Show logo reveals Pom Pom and a repaired Trivia Time}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now, for the judges' scores! Pom Pom and Trivia Time: 3.5! Good GPA, terrible pet show score. ''{wipe with the Pet Show logo to The King Of Town}'' The King Of Town and an As Seen on TV Low-Fat Cooking Device: Not supposed to be here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Scruffle's wins!

''{cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat, Homestar enters from the left with the leash still on and holding the trophy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, well, Strong Bad. Looks like you finally got a taste of your own medicine. Taste of your own potion. Taste of your own elixir! Taste of your own— ''{The Cheat throws a toy at Homestar and he falls down}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Don't worry, we're currently appealing the decision of the judges. We're also currently a-peeling ''{pull back to a wider shot with The Cheat peeling in a pile of potatoes}'' POTATOES! ''{Strong Bad jumps into the pile and a banner and confetti comes down}''

''{The [[New Paper]] comes down and the screen darkens}''

''{after a short pause}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat. Do you think we successfully glossed over the fact we lost the competition?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, is there anything that potatoes can't do?

== Transcript ==
''{opens with Strong Bad on a typewriter in the Smoky Office, which has the words "Strong Bad; Total Journalist" on the window--the 'camera' rotates around Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating, typing}'' Truly there are few guys as stupid as Homestar Runner. But I wanted to unravel all the idiotic ramblings and speech impediments, and get down to the chewy caramel center of this no-armed whitey. What I found was not pretty. It was slimy and smelly and kinda stung my eyes.

''{cut to Marshmallow's Last Stand, where Strong Bad is sitting. We can see Homestar walk by several times while he talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, Dumbstar has me meet him in this fruity little marshmallow stand he always goes to. He kept me waiting for a good half hour and I actually watched him walk by the place three or four times before he finally came in.

''{Homestar enters and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap were you doing out there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Out where?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Outside! I watched you prance by, like, five times, man.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I doubt it. I drove.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't own a car.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you're probably right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's get down to brass tacks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I didn't bring any. I drove.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh, this is gonna be painful.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What, the tacks? I bet. Try not to sit on 'em.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stupid! This is an interview!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, well allow me to introduce myself. My name is Homestar Runner, and I feel that I would be a great asset to your company.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, shut up. Now, first question: What's your freakin' problem?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{hands over a grocery list}'' Well if you take a look at my résumé ''{pronounces it "[[Foreign Words|reh-zoom]]"}'', you'll see that I have quite a bit of experience in many different related fields.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cut the crap! Just tell me what your freaking problem is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't really think of any.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ohhhh. Moving on. I've heard that you enjoy prancing around like an idiot. Is this true?

''{Homestar is outside prancing around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' La-dee-la-da-da-la-dee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I suppose that answers my question. ''{Homestar enters and sits down.}'' Now, tell us about your girlfriend Marzipan. What's her deal?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She told me today that she thinks your baking has really improved lately.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my baking, eh? I do enjoy baking every once and again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Interesting. I'll take note of that. ''{pulls out a notepad and pen}'' So, what else do you do in your spare time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I like to do the Jumble sometimes and — hey, wait! I'm asking the questions here! So, who do you think would win in a fight: Strong Sad or The Cheat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. That's not even fair.

''{Cuts to The Field with Strong Sad and The Cheat. As Homestar talks, what he says is added to the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Cheat would win with both hands duct-taped behind his back, and with little pieces of duct tape covering his eyes, and Strong Sad could have a spear even.

''{The Cheat jumps on Strong Sad, knocking him down, and the spear flies behind the Cheat, cutting the duct tape from his hands as it sticks in the ground. The Cheat then removes the duct tape from his eyes and grabs the spear.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' En garde?

''{cuts back to Marshmallow's Last Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho! Good answer. We might have to set that up someday.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it can only go down from here, so... get out of my face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{outside prancing around, singing}'' La-dee-la-da-da-da-da-da-da-doo-doo...

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Homestar's grocery list reads: 
<blockquote>eggs 
beans 
five 
dentifrice 
macho nachos 
jam</blockquote>
*''Dentifrice'' is "a powder, paste, or liquid for cleaning the teeth."

===Remarks===
*This is the first time that Homestar's speech impediment ''and'' [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of arms]] are explicitly mentioned.
*In the [[In Search of the Yello Dello|Yello Dello]] commentary, Strong Bad states that he has never worn oven mitts. However, he does enjoy baking, as revealed by this cartoon and is reinforced in the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0|first installment]] of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], as well as [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*When Homestar talks, the edges of his eyes and hat vary with each mouth shape.
*Both Strong Sad and The Cheat are shown in their older designs in this toon.
*Note some of the following differences from the finished version in the unfinished version:
**Strong Bad says "Thanks for your time" instead of "Get out of my face" at the end.
**Homestar does not pull out his pen and notebook.
**Homestar does not pass Strong Bad his shopping list résumé.
**Homestar walks by in the order left, right, left, instead of always walking to the left.
**Strong Bad waits until ''after'' Homestar sits down in the chair to say, "What the crap were you doing out there?"
**Strong Sad doesn't say "en garde" when he is fighting The Cheat.
**Strong Bad's eyes appear in an older style, without the newer gleam.
**There are no sound effects in the sequence with Strong Sad and The Cheat, as well as the opening typewriter sequence.
**Strong Bad's office door isn't shown at the beginning.
**Strong Bad and Homestar do not move their mouths while talking several times.
**The bushes in the background, particularly in Strong Sad and The Cheat's scene, are drawn in a shorter, less detailed way.
**The words "Marshmallow's Last Stand" and the bell aren't on the door.
**Homestar isn't seen prancing past the window at the end.
**The toon repeats itself.
**The unfinished toon's page URL link is interview2.html when the new one's is interview.html making it seem like the older toon was made after the new one.
**There is no navbar in the unfinished version.

=== Goofs ===
*When Homestar walks into Marshmallow's Last Stand, you hear nothing even though there is a bell attached to the door. The bell can be seen when Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are shown from the side.
*The ashtray doesn't rotate with the rest of the Smoky Office.
*Strong Bad's arms are missing during the Smoky Office rotation scene. You can easily see this in the very beginning of the toon.
*When the camera rotates to in front of Strong Bad, you can see that his body becomes detached from his head. When it's right in front of him, you can see his neck behind his right boxing glove as he's typing.
*The right side (from the viewer's perspective) of Strong Bad's desk in the Smoky Office suddenly disappears when the view of the scene stops rotating.

===Inside References===
*The location of the interview is [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], which was also featured in an old toon by [[Marshmallow's Last Stand|the same name]].
*Homestar's [[prancing]] and singing is the same as in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's line, "Yeah, yeah, that'd be great," is likely a reference to the character Bill Lumbergh in the [[Wikipedia:Mike Judge|Mike Judge]] film ''[[Office Space]]''.
*"Macho Nachos" is a song by the Ska band Mad Caddies.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad mentions that he enjoys doing [[Wikipedia:Jumble|Jumbles]]. This is also revealed in the email [[caper]], where Strong Bad and The Cheat break into [[Homestar Runner's House|Homestar's house]] to steal his Jumbles.
*The room in which Strong Bad is typing on a typewriter is the same as Dangeresque's office in [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]].

*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' Total Journalist, eh, S— Matt, er, Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, it's Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it's Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You are ''so'' mixed up!

'''MIKE:''' Look at this 3D-ness right here, ''{incomprehensible}'' Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Whoa. Strong Bad has a flat face.

'''MIKE:''' That— we used a— I think we used a jib arm for that, maybe?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A jib— I like the cut of your jib arm, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks. So, uh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look at that! Strong Bad's smoking it out!

'''MIKE:''' You know, we did this interview for a... magazine, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' A maze-a-gheen!

'''MIKE:''' A maze-a-gheen called Metropop and, uh—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I remember! It was Paul Frank!

'''MIKE:''' ...we decided to make a cartoon of it. And originally, it was just exclusive in the magazine; it had the URL, and—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right; it was secretly hidden!

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And then we got away with— with not having to do a cartoon one week!

'''MIKE:''' There you are, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cause this was done. Look; why's my shirt so pink?

'''MIKE:''' It's not quite as red as it is nowadays, is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' It's more of a magenta.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What gives? Turn up my CMYK, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{softly}'' Right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad's neck seems longer than normal. ''{brief pause, Homestar in the toon says, "My name is Homestar Runner."}'' That's still true!

'''MIKE:''' I know. So, you're interviewing for a job, here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I thought I was. But then—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Have you gotten a job yet?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I did! I think. I got hired... yeah, see.

'''MIKE:''' Your... your résumé has dentifrice on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And beans.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Right. I have a lot of experience of experience in both... fields.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Do you have teeth?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm, Mike, let's change the subject abruptly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There I go! Um, so... why is my silhouette purple?

'''MIKE:''' I— I don't know. It should be— I would prefer it to be black.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. That was tha— Is that how you do it these days?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Sometimes I go to this marshmallow place with Marzipan. ''{brief pause}'' Did you know that?

'''MIKE:''' I— I've seen you there once.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. I said some— ti— one times.

'''MIKE:''' We use that notebook a lot.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' We've used that notebook that you're using a few times since then.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really? What else do I use it?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I know Strong Bad uses it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Uh, a couple times.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. This is unfair.

'''MIKE:''' People always—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I feel like this is mis— mitch-match— mitch-matched.

'''MIKE:''' People always email Strong Bad and ask him to set up the fight between The Cheat and Strong Sad.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But they just saw it!

'''MIKE:''' But they just saw it! But they still— I don't get it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It was in my brains, but they saw it.

'''MIKE:''' It was in your brains?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It was a little drippy in there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Watch out. For some cerebral fluids.

'''MIKE:''' That's enough, Homestar. I don't want to talk about you. Or talk to you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sounding hurt}'' Oh.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ooh, emails make me tremble, so I'll keep my body nimble.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: drained pool</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What do you do with the pool during the winter? Do you 
drain it and use it for skateboarding or something? 
-J.Hazard, IN</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the state as the word "in", and says it as though there was more words coming}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In what? In Spokane? In severe debt? In repose? Well, I guess I'll never know Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man. ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, Hazbro, ''{sarcastic voice}'' yes, we usually drain it and yes I usually skateboard 30 different kinds of shred all over the pool and make awesome skate videos that accidentally get recorded over with cooking shows. ''{regular voice}'' But this year we're doing something way cooler ''{pause}'' and less pretend. Homestar Runner finally got paid for all those Fluffy Puff Marshmallows commercials he did. And GUESS HOW THEY PAID HIM? With a lifetime supply of Red Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance!

''{A box of said substance appears. Cut through static to a Fluffy Puff commercial. Marshie is red and translucent, his brain is visible floating inside his head.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'M AN ABOMINATION!

''{The word "GEL-arshie" appears below him with a ding.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' ''{closeup}'' And I'm coming to your house after school!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Y'know, I really think those Marshie commercials ought to be rated NC-17.

''{A ratings advice label appears in the top left corner, reading "NC-17, Needlessly Creepy times 17". Cut through static to the pool, which has been filled with red gelatin. A pile of empty Fluffy Puff boxes are in the background. Strong Bad, Strong Sad and Homestar are all present, along with a kitchen timer shaped like a chicken. Strong Sad is holding a clipboard and wearing glasses.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' How're we doing here, frog eggs?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't even get that one. According to my calculations, ''{looks at clipboard}'' we should achieve maximum jiggle ''{pats his belly}'' any second now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, you three. I am so glad I chose this instead of that million dollars in cash. That wouldn't even have ''half'' filled up this pool!

''{The alarm rings}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's it! We're ready!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! ''{looks around expectedly}'' Well, where are they?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Where are who?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I thought that this much gelatin would sorta naturally attract oiled-up bikini wrestlers.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''I'' thought it would naturally attract oiled-up Bill Cosby.

''{Cut to the concession stand. Coach Z is leaning on the counter, talking to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' You heard the latest news?

'''COACH Z:''' Wazzat?

'''BUBS:''' The young'uns filled up the swimmin' hole with red Jell-Os!

'''COACH Z:''' Y'know, I once had a student in my health class, name of Red Angelo! True story! His folks named him that! And he had a sister, named Grape Flavored Jell-O With Fruit Floatin' In It!

''{Bubs starts to look annoyed at Coach Z, then descends into his basement.}''

'''COACH Z:''' No bull! And if you flash your lights at a car with its headlights orf, you get shot by gangsters!

''{Cut back to the pool. Strong Bad is standing in the middle of the pool, on a toilet seat. Strong Mad is standing by the edge of the pool.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Strong Mad, smack it around!

And when I opened my eyes, the pool was empty, and three days had passed. And Pom Pom ''still'' hasn't landed!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ooh, emails make me tremble, so I'll keep my body nimble.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: drained pool</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What do you do with the pool during the winter? Do you 
drain it and use it for skateboarding or something? 
-J.Hazard, IN</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the state as the word "in", and says it as though there was more words coming}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In what? In Spokane? In severe debt? In repose? Well, I guess I'll never know Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man. ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, Hazbro, ''{sarcastic voice}'' yes, we usually drain it and yes I usually skateboard 30 different kinds of shred all over the pool and make awesome skate videos that accidentally get recorded over with cooking shows. ''{regular voice}'' But this year we're doing something way cooler ''{pause}'' and less pretend. Homestar Runner finally got paid for all those Fluffy Puff Marshmallows commercials he did. And GUESS HOW THEY PAID HIM? With a lifetime supply of Red Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance!

''{A box of said substance appears. Cut through static to a Fluffy Puff commercial. Marshie is red and translucent, his brain is visible floating inside his head.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'M AN ABOMINATION!

''{The word "GEL-arshie" appears below him with a ding.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' ''{closeup}'' And I'm coming to your house after school!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Y'know, I really think those Marshie commercials ought to be rated NC-17.

''{A ratings advice label appears in the top left corner, reading "NC-17, Needlessly Creepy times 17". Cut through static to the pool, which has been filled with red gelatin. A pile of empty Fluffy Puff boxes are in the background. Strong Bad, Strong Sad and Homestar are all present, along with a kitchen timer shaped like a chicken. Strong Sad is holding a clipboard and wearing glasses.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' How're we doing here, frog eggs?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't even get that one. According to my calculations, ''{looks at clipboard}'' we should achieve maximum jiggle ''{pats his belly}'' any second now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, you three. I am so glad I chose this instead of that million dollars in cash. That wouldn't even have ''half'' filled up this pool!

''{The alarm rings}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's it! We're ready!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! ''{looks around expectedly}'' Well, where are they?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Where are who?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I thought that this much gelatin would sorta naturally attract oiled-up bikini wrestlers.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''I'' thought it would naturally attract oiled-up Bill Cosby.

''{Cut to the concession stand. Coach Z is leaning on the counter, talking to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' You heard the latest news?

'''COACH Z:''' Wazzat?

'''BUBS:''' The young'uns filled up the swimmin' hole with red Jell-Os!

'''COACH Z:''' Y'know, I once had a student in my health class, name of Red Angelo! True story! His folks named him that! And he had a sister, named Grape Flavored Jell-O With Fruit Floatin' In It!

''{Bubs starts to look annoyed at Coach Z, then descends into his basement.}''

'''COACH Z:''' No bull! And if you flash your lights at a car with its headlights orf, you get shot by gangsters!

''{Cut back to the pool. Strong Bad is standing in the middle of the pool, on a toilet seat. Strong Mad is standing by the edge of the pool.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Strong Mad, smack it around!

''{Strong Mad hits the pool surface, and a small wave ripples across. When it passes by Strong Bad:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hang ten! Gnarly! Endless summer! Hey, do it again, but this time, smack it like a newborn's biscuit.

''{Strong Mad hits the pool surface much harder, and a much higher wave comes at Strong Bad. The force of it knocks him off the "board", he lands headfirst and starts to sink.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, lifeguard? Bit of help here?

''{Pan to Pom Pom, sitting in the lifeguard chair with sunscreen on his "nose".}''

==Wrong Abbreviation==

Interestingly, MO is the abbreviation for the state of Missouri, not Montana. Montana's is MT. [[User:12.217.63.110|12.217.63.110]] 06:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. It's already been mentioned in the article :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
::If you click on the easter egg a second time, "idiot and" is crossed out and replaced with "Mike is" (so the message reads: "Mike is a moron!") and Montana has changed into Missouri. [[User:Sir Vimes|Sir Vimes]] 00:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::Are we sure the e-mail author wasn't the one that's wrong/an idiot? Considering that Idaho is nowhere near Missouri but is next to Montana.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 00:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::That makes no sense. TBC are the ones that made the animation depicting the wrong state; they even poked fun at themselves over it. Why would the e-mail author not know her(?) own state's abbreviation? -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::::Because they're kids and accidentally typed the wrong abbreviation, I would guess. Wouldn't surprise me in the least, and it's not like MO isn't the abbreviation one would assume for Montana, obviously. This is speculation, of course, but to me it would make more sense for them to be from adjoining states than two totally unrelated ones.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 00:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::But even if Jules ''is'' from Montana, why would TBC know that, and make the Easter egg accordingly? The fact remains that the email says MO, and unless the original email some kind of "PS: the MO is for Montana" that TBC edited out (which we'd have no way of knowing, but I consider unlikely), that's all the info they have... so the mismatch between the email and the Easter egg is all TBC's doing. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::I would say they both made the same mistake, and since Idaho is next to Montana, it's not an unreasonable assumption. Again, it's pure speculation on my part, so I'm not arguing we should necessarily change the article, I'd just say that it's likely the mistake originated not with the Bros. Chaps but with the e-mail authors.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 00:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::::The only flaw in that theory comes with the fact that, well, this is the internet. It's not like they have to be close, geographically, to each other or anything. The e-mail says "MO", and the Easter egg was of Montana. That, and the change to "Mike is a moron", suggests to me that TBC are the ones that made that goof. That said, we don't *know* the senders are kids, and it's silly to claim that *they* made the mistake and not TBC. They aren't perfect. They do make mistakes. And it seems to me that they fessed up to this one right away. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::::My point is that we don't know who originally made the mistake, but that it's as likely the originators of the e-mail as the Brothers Chaps based on what little information we have.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 02:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Maybe the email address was from a domain that the senders owned, then TBC could have done a whois. Plus, Idaho and Montana are near each other. If one of the senders is from Idaho, and the other says MO, one can assume they mean Montana due to the placement of Idaho and Montana in the US (right next to each other)
::::::::::I fail to see what the relative locations of the states have to do with anything. My best friend lives in Canada, and I live in Oregon. They aren't especially close together, now, are they? I *really* don't see where TBC are so omnipotent that they're above making any kind of mistake like this (especially when *they confessed to it*; have you *seen* the updated Easter egg?), and you're just insulting the senders by suggesting *they* made the mistake. There's no "speculation" here. When TBC themselves correct a mistake with "Mike is a moron", it sounds to me like *they* made the mistake. Far, far more likely than a couple girls mistaking one of their home states for another, or TBC changing it for comedic purposes (especially considering the "we screwed up" Easter egg wasn't there originally). Jeez. -{{User:YK/sig}} 03:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

: With my headphones, what I hear is "Strictly checkin' emails in 2008, strictly ?? Strong Bad fit to regulate." I'm not sure on the "strictlies" but I'm pretty much confident on "fit to regulate". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

==Okay for Moms==

This is an inside reference to the garage sale email where Strong Bad says prounouncing "garage" like "garbage" is for mom's only.
: No, I think it's more Strong Bad trying to come up with ways to refer to people's posteriors to his own mother. Note that his list is "Okay for Mom" not "Okay for Mom'''s'''". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== "The bill itself uses eight trees' worth of paper" ==

Do you think this line and the stack of bills is a reference to [[Wikipedia:300-page iPhone bill|300-page iPhone bill]] which was popular in last August? I think it fits well with Strong Sad's new iTem. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:That line I think is a more general play on how the use of paper is equated to the number of trees used to make it, which would fit the entire "environment" theme. The same goes for the number of acres that are burned down for every time the Lappy is fired up. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== Green computing? ==

Anyone here thinks the logo of the computer with the leaf is a reference to logos such as [[Wikipedia:Energy Star|this]]? I also suggest reading [[Wikipedia:Green computing]] just for the heck of it. Really interesting stuff. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

:Yes, but a very vague one. It's an amalgam, designed to evoke the recurrent motifs of various official and unofficial environmental "certification" logos. And at the same time it pokes at the lip service that industry tends to pay to such issues, seeming to think that cliché rebranding (e.g., adding a leaf) is the most important piece of their strategy. The arc at the top does resemble Energy Star, but it probably resembles a lot of other things as well. While the leaf to me first recalled the logo for [http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=ford+hybrid+logo Ford's hybrid cars], but I'm sure there are plenty of other logos using a leaf for environmental purpose. Also, the blue arrow makes me think of an ecological diagram from a science text. You know, like the Water Cycle, or the Flow of Nutrients, or something like that. All very vague, but still evocative. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== Bills, Bills, Bills ==

Is that writing on one of the stacks of bills a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bills,_Bills,_Bills the Destiny's Child song]? — [[User:Kentyman|kentyman]] 20:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== 17 hours ==
has anyone waited 17 hours to see if strongbad will press the send key?--[[User:68.150.17.145|68.150.17.145]] 19:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think it's been seventeen hours yet. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 19:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
::I had the same thought, but I checked in the decompiler... there's nothing there to make something happen after 17 hours. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

==Best Video Game I've Ever Played==

Is this a running gag now? [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 19:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Believe it or not, it IS. [[This is the (adjective) video game I've ever played|Check it out!]] {{User:Neox/sig}}

==Too Much AL==

yeah, we don't need two "Al Gore is a reference to Al Gore" explanations, so i'm sticking them together and moving them to real-world references --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

==Strong Sad's iPhone==

is strong sad's "sustainable mp3 player" an iphone, or maybe a ipod touch? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that it's an iPhone, because the iPhone has more icons on its home screen then the iPod Touch. That probably wasn't so clear, so if you look at this picure of an iPhone [http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/index2.html], you will see it looks more like Strong Sad's then an iPod Touch [http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/gallery/index3.html] --{{User:Biscuithead1293/sig}} 01:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

==More new graphics==

Did anybody notice that Strong Sad had more shading than usual? -Me.

== The SB with a deep voice ==
Strong Bad seems to have a deeper voice, but I'm not 100% sure because I haven't really watch SB Emails on my own Lappy, normally I watch on the desktop PC we have for recreation purposes and I think it may just be my speakers.

==Wrong Abbreviation==

Interestingly, MO is the abbreviation for the state of Missouri, not Montana. Montana's is MT. [[User:12.217.63.110|12.217.63.110]] 06:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. It's already been mentioned in the article :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
::If you click on the easter egg a second time, "idiot and" is crossed out and replaced with "Mike is" (so the message reads: "Mike is a moron!") and Montana has changed into Missouri. [[User:Sir Vimes|Sir Vimes]] 00:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::Are we sure the e-mail author wasn't the one that's wrong/an idiot? Considering that Idaho is nowhere near Missouri but is next to Montana.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 00:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::That makes no sense. TBC are the ones that made the animation depicting the wrong state; they even poked fun at themselves over it. Why would the e-mail author not know her(?) own state's abbreviation? -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::::Because they're kids and accidentally typed the wrong abbreviation, I would guess. Wouldn't surprise me in the least, and it's not like MO isn't the abbreviation one would assume for Montana, obviously. This is speculation, of course, but to me it would make more sense for them to be from adjoining states than two totally unrelated ones.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 00:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::But even if Jules ''is'' from Montana, why would TBC know that, and make the Easter egg accordingly? The fact remains that the email says MO, and unless the original email some kind of "PS: the MO is for Montana" that TBC edited out (which we'd have no way of knowing, but I consider unlikely), that's all the info they have... so the mismatch between the email and the Easter egg is all TBC's doing. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::I would say they both made the same mistake, and since Idaho is next to Montana, it's not an unreasonable assumption. Again, it's pure speculation on my part, so I'm not arguing we should necessarily change the article, I'd just say that it's likely the mistake originated not with the Bros. Chaps but with the e-mail authors.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 00:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::::The only flaw in that theory comes with the fact that, well, this is the internet. It's not like they have to be close, geographically, to each other or anything. The e-mail says "MO", and the Easter egg was of Montana. That, and the change to "Mike is a moron", suggests to me that TBC are the ones that made that goof. That said, we don't *know* the senders are kids, and it's silly to claim that *they* made the mistake and not TBC. They aren't perfect. They do make mistakes. And it seems to me that they fessed up to this one right away. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::::My point is that we don't know who originally made the mistake, but that it's as likely the originators of the e-mail as the Brothers Chaps based on what little information we have.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 02:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Maybe the email address was from a domain that the senders owned, then TBC could have done a whois. Plus, Idaho and Montana are near each other. If one of the senders is from Idaho, and the other says MO, one can assume they mean Montana due to the placement of Idaho and Montana in the US (right next to each other)
::::::::::I fail to see what the relative locations of the states have to do with anything. My best friend lives in Canada, and I live in Oregon. They aren't especially close together, now, are they? I *really* don't see where TBC are so omnipotent that they're above making any kind of mistake like this (especially when *they confessed to it*; have you *seen* the updated Easter egg?), and you're just insulting the senders by suggesting *they* made the mistake. There's no "speculation" here. When TBC themselves correct a mistake with "Mike is a moron", it sounds to me like *they* made the mistake. Far, far more likely than a couple girls mistaking one of their home states for another, or TBC changing it for comedic purposes (especially considering the "we screwed up" Easter egg wasn't there originally).

== "The bill itself uses eight trees' worth of paper" ==

:That line I think is a more general play on how the use of paper is equated to the number of trees used to make it, which would fit the entire "environment" theme.

Anyone here thinks the logo of the computer with the leaf is a reference to logos such as [[Wikipedia:Energy Star|this]]? I also suggest reading [[Wikipedia:Green computing]] just for the heck of it. Really interesting stuff. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

:Yes, but a very vague one. It's an amalgam, designed to evoke the recurrent motifs of various official and unofficial environmental "certification" logos. And at the same time it pokes at the lip service that industry tends to pay to such issues, seeming to think that cliché rebranding (e.g., adding a leaf) is the most important piece of their strategy. The arc at the top does resemble Energy Star, but it probably resembles a lot of other things as well. While the leaf to me first recalled the logo for [http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=ford+hybrid+logo Ford's hybrid cars], but I'm sure there are plenty of other logos using a leaf for environmental purpose. Also, the blue arrow makes me think of an ecological diagram from a science text. You know, like the Water Cycle, or the Flow of Nutrients, or something like that. All very vague, but still evocative. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' Another week, another email scandal! Strong Bad gonna fly off the handle! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: strong bad email</div>
Hey mr S to the B 
I was wondering what the nightlife is like in strongbadia? 
What kinda hip clubs and fun hotspots are there to 
check out? 
Somekindaguy 
Josh CO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Mr" as "mer", "Somekindaguy" as "Soma-keenda-goo-ay" and "Josh CO" as "JoshCO!", adding "makers of funny products and funnier slogans." He also puts emphasis on "kinda" as if "kinda hip" meant "somewhat hip"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, we only have one real fun hotspot. As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about

''{''[[Carrot and Kazoo Hill]]'' is shown, with Homestar and Stong Sad standing on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Carrot and Kazoo Hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{unemotional}'' Whee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good times.

''{Back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, the hill was jumpin' that night! As far as clubs go, Club Technochocolate is about as kinda hip as it gets! Some towns have party clubs, but we've got our very own bonafide ''pwawty cloughb!''

''{A flyer is shown while music begins to play in the background, which reads: Club Technochocolate / Free Country USA's Premier / PWAWTY CLOUGHB / (Not a place for technological chocolate bars)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' When i'm going out to the cloughb, I always like to take off ''{Cut to Strong Bad's Bedroom. He is standing in the foreground messing with his shirt.}'' my best shirt! ''{His best shirt is light blue with a tribal mark. He rips it open with a "huah!", popping a button. He begins to spray himself with body spray.}''

''{Camera cuts to Strong Sad, who is leaning in the doorway from the Basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, are you putting on body spray?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, still holding the black can of body spray}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Guys don't wear body spray. This is uh... the blood... of slain... warrior... mammoths.

''{Scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Of course, the cloughb only lets the freshest clientèle inside. But my name has been laser-etched into the guest list by now.

''{We see a location somewhere in the Field, at night. Strong Mad is standing behind a velvet-rope as Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, drop the act! I've gotta get into the party cloughb.

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! ''{he laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke?! That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt. Johnson.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON!

''{Various Cuts: Club TechnoChocolate. Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom are seen dancing. The Cheat is DJ'ing.}''

''{Cut to: Club Technochocolate's bar. Strong Bad walks in from our left. Bubs slides in from our right, behind the bar.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well if it isn't my main man Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house.

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' How about a nice Pink Elephant Pants?

''{Zoom out again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it!

''{Bubs reaches under the bar, and produces an eyedropper containing a green liquid}''

'''BUBS:''' That'll be $17.50.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah! You guys must be having a sale!

''{We see the edge of the Club Technochocolate dance floor. Marzipan and Strong Sad are standing just off the dance floor. Strong Sad is wearing fishnet gloves.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You don't look like you're having very much fun, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh I'm having a great time. This is my favorite club to go to, and not dance. Sometimes I'll even ''think'' about dancing, and then not dance. And if I'm feeling ''really'' crazy, I'll actually get out on the dance floor and bust some fresh not-dancing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how about I start busting some fresh not-hanging-out-with-you.

''{Marzipan walks off. Cut to Strong Bad dancing on the dance floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Off-screen}'' Hey Strong Bad.

''{Zoom out. Homestar is standing behind Strong Bad (our left). He looks like he has just woken up, complete with unshaved face, dressing gown, sleeping cap, and alien slippers. His eyes are closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! I'm doin my matin' dance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still asleep} {unintelligible}'' ...badges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I got more badges than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I sold more thin mints than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep and dreaming you're a girl scout?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No Ma'am, Troop Beverly Hills.

''{We see The cheat DJ'ing in the DJ booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And at some point during the night, we all get 'treated' to Coach Z ''{Zoom out, Coach Z with a mic}'' attempting to freestyle.

'''COACH Z:''' One two one two, 'bout to freestyle... One two? One two?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I mean... count to two over and over again.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ha, one two one two! Here i go! One two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And no night at the cloughb would be complete, without me getting tossed out on my leopard print hinders.

''{Back to the entrance. Strong Bad gets tossed out, wearing leopard print underware. Strong Mad is no longer visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not my fault! It's those light-èd floors! I think my pants are mysteriously drawn to them!

''{Strong Bad's pants get thrown out too. They land on his head, defying physics and/or indicating Strong Bad uses too much starch.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the nightlife around here, Soma. Of course, there's also the pour rotten milk on Marzipan's prized petunias while she's asleep variety of nightlife as well, but that's another email, for another time. This has been Strong Bad, with Strong Bad E-mail 185 ''{pronounced one eighty-five}''. Thanks for listening.

Stinkoblade: /* The History of the Name */ Getting my dates right

Hi, I'm Stinkoblade. I like the Homestar Runner Wiki and Homestar Runner.com quite a bit, spending several hours of one week in either/or/both. I often do homework to the styles of sbemail. Actually, it isn't as much as I used to, seeing everything on H*R at least 3 times makes it kinda unfun to do now, plus I play Maple Story.
[[image:stinkoman.PNG|thumb| Behold the mighty Stinkoblade! Errrr, well really just a big knife.]]

I have favorite characters among the universe, some of which might apply to everyone. They are: 
Homsar, Strong Bad, Graw Mad, The Chort, Coach Z

There are also things I wish TBC had been more detailed with. I've sent an e-mail to SB once about these things (in the same one), the geography of Free Country USA and The Thnikkaman. If they ever answer it, I'll let you guys know. On a different note, I shortened to being just The Thnikkaman on 5/6/2007, in the hopes that an easier question would get a response. On 11/9/2007, I asked Strong Bad about saving Homestar from the Horrible Painting, it probably will not get answered.....and I found the drafts of my other 2 e-mails as well. Turns out Yahoo saves them automatically, go figure.

== Personal Stuff ==
I live in Hudson, North Carolina (a black hole of cultural un-diversity), and am attending college as a freshman. My real name is Josh and I am 18. My interests span the entire cosmos, from cooking to ancient mythology, with a deep and unbridled dislike of all things athletic. Despite that last tidbit, I can approach all subjects without intentional bias, giving good (or at least interesting if I can't help) advice based on my science/psychology background. You'd be surprised what you can do with a few years of intensive study.
I will be majoring in All Grades Science Education (except college level) w/ a double-minor in Psychology and Spanish as a second language. The greatest moments for me are moments of inspiration, regardless of when or how it happens. I write almost as much as I read, having time for neither during hardcore school weeks. I edit when I can, but all of you beat me to it. I have not created any pages outside of my user page. And for anybody interested that sees this page, I play Maple Story. My character's name is InfamousDS and my guild is called EvilHeroez (I only did the "z" so people would join, I wanted an "s" at the end). We have full members right now, so please don't ask to join. I play in Mardia-ch18 most of the time. You can look me up, but I will most likely ignore you until you mention H*R Wiki.

== 4th Wall Un-Breaks ==

I don't think that at least 2 of the 4th wall breaks are legitimate examples of that. If I notice more, I'll post them here first. 
1.) Strong Sad's Character Video: Marzipan would have told him why it was being made, and that makes the entire character page a 4th wall break as an extension (because everyone knew or else they wouldn't describe themselves). All he did was say that he didn't want to while Marzipan made it seem like she wasn't recording, and I feel that doesn't justify it as a 4th wall break.

2.) SB E-mail "keep cool": His explanation has clearly been "dubbed" in after original filming, as he doesn't just turn around and say it. This means that he knows that his e-mails are being recorded and is actually taking time to film an explanatory segment for the uninformed or the people who should already know. This is added AFTER the entire e-mail was originally filmed, though it was a part of it when the e-mail was published. It was made for and thus directed toward the audience without being a part of the e-mail itself. Because he recognizes that his e-mail show is being recorded, this being counted as a 4th wall when it was made by TBC to appear separate from the rest of the e-mail is seemingly pointless, but I admit that by definition it counts. It also implies that every sbemail is a big 4th wall break, but that may be stretching it just a little.

== The History of the Name ==

'''ME''': It all started... 
(''fast-forwarding, then play clicks'') 
'''ME''': ...and that's when I... 
(''fast-forwarding continues, play clicks again'') 
'''ME''': I had finally found something worthy of joining, GameFAQs.com, and I needed a name that defined me. I chose the words ''Dark'' and ''Samurai'' to be the template for any and all applications thereafter. They fit me because, as I said earlier, I have a morbid sense of humor and have chosen to live in the style of Bushido. I decided I needed e-mail to go with this new freedom, so I ran to... 
(''tape skips and speech is garbled'') 
'''ME''': ...and I was so sad. That was when I discovered Homestarrunner.com, through my cousin showing me the sbemail ''''dragon''''. I thought it was the greatest thing I had ever seen, but I still lacked a home computer of my own. So I forgot. It took 2 years for me to get my own computer, but I didn't remember Homestar, so I guess I just wasted your time. It took another 2 years for me to find it, and it was because of the same cousin. I think ''''Cool Things'''' was a few weeks old at the time, it was at the top of the '''New Stuff''' list. Another 6 months(or more) went by and I was at early March of 2007. I watched every sbemail and toon, which took a few weeks, and then I started randoming on '''The Lappy'''. I watched the sbemail ''''coloring'''' and was extremely confused by pressed bunson, so i googled it and found The Wiki. All that was about 4 days of random and 15 minutes of google. I read through '''''EVERY SINGLE SBEMAIL''''' before I joined. If you are trying to keep track, that was May 4th that I finished. I had sent an e-mail to Strong Bad on the 9th of April, and to initiate my joining the Wiki on the 6th I sent one under my new surname. Hmm? What was that? I'm rambling? Whatever, man. you just interrupted me. Now...where was I...? Oh! Right, the birth of my surname. Well, I knew that Dark and all his aliases would be inappropriate for a site about happy good times. In that state of mind, I chose close similarities from within the universe. I chose Stinkoman because he good-heartedly insults everyone around him, much to their not being offended (Dark). And I chose The Big Knife to represent my warrior within, if you will (Samurai). That about covers it, thanks for purch-...

== Strong Bad E-mail Unanswered ==
This section is just here to make my userpage more cluttered until I do something productive for the wiki, these are my 3 drafts so far that I sent to Strong Bad.

Dear Reason for the Internet to continue to exist despite the Apocalypse(a.k.a. Strong Bad),
Could you host a tour of Free Country, USA Strong Bad-style? I know that you can because you used to host tours of Strong Badia. If
you do not want to do that, could you tell us about the Thnikkaman? You seem to look up to him.
With respect,
Josh from Hudson, North Carolina

5/6/2007
Dear Strong Bad,
I was wondering how much you know about the Thnikkaman. If you do not know very much about him, you should have him on "Strong
Bad-Type Interview Progrum", so he can give some to everybody. A superhero would make ratings SOAR!
Sincerely,
Stinkoblade, or if you hate that, Josh

11/9/2007
Dear Strong Bad,
I don't want you to get the jibblies, but did Homestar ever get out of that Horrible Painting? You are made awesome by the way you
constantly triumph over Homestar and that isn't possible if he is stuck inside that Horrible Painting.......so sinister......
With Hope that you don't get the jibblies,
Josh from Hudson, NC

Chances are that these will never be seen on the wiki except for here, my family is kind unlucky when it comes to being picked for anything worthwhile.

This means that he knows that his e-mails are being recorded and is actually taking time to film an explanatory segment for the uninformed or the people who should already know. This is added AFTER the entire e-mail was originally filmed, though it was a part of it when the e-mail was published. It was made for and thus directed toward the audience without being a part of the e-mail itself. Because he recognizes that his e-mail show is being recorded, this being counted as a 4th wall when it was made by TBC to appear separate from the rest of the e-mail is seemingly pointless, but I admit that by definition it counts. It also implies that every sbemail is a big 4th wall break, but that may be stretching it just a little.

Dear Reason for the Internet to continue to exist despite the Apocalypse(a.k.a. Strong Bad),
Could you host a tour of Free Country, USA Strong Bad-style? I know that you can because you used to host tours of Strong Badia. If
you do not want to do that, could you tell us about the Thnikkaman? You seem to look up to him.
With respect,
Josh from Hudson, North Carolina

Dear Strong Bad,
I was wondering how much you know about the Thnikkaman. If you do not know very much about him, you should have him on "Strong
Bad-Type Interview Progrum", so he can give some to everybody. A superhero would make ratings SOAR!
Sincerely,
Stinkoblade, or if you hate that, Josh

Dear Strong Bad,
I don't want you to get the jibblies, but did Homestar ever get out of that Horrible Painting? You are made awesome by the way you
constantly triumph over Homestar and that isn't possible if he is stuck inside that Horrible Painting.......so sinister......
With Hope that you don't get the jibblies,

Chances are that these will never be seen on the wiki except for here, my family is kind unlucky when it comes to being picked for anything worthwhile.

Stinkoblade: /* Strong Bad E-mail Unanswered */ More Formatting, for authenticity

Hi, I'm Stinkoblade. I like the Homestar Runner Wiki and Homestar Runner.com quite a bit, spending several hours of one week in either/or/both. I often do homework to the styles of sbemail. Actually, it isn't as much as I used to, seeing everything on H*R at least 3 times makes it kinda unfun to do now, plus I play Maple Story.
[[image:stinkoman.PNG|thumb| Behold the mighty Stinkoblade! Errrr, well really just a big knife.]]

I have favorite characters among the universe, some of which might apply to everyone. They are: 
Homsar, Strong Bad, Graw Mad, The Chort, Coach Z

There are also things I wish TBC had been more detailed with. I've sent an e-mail to SB once about these things (in the same one), the geography of Free Country USA and The Thnikkaman. If they ever answer it, I'll let you guys know. On a different note, I shortened to being just The Thnikkaman on 5/6/2007, in the hopes that an easier question would get a response. On 11/9/2007, I asked Strong Bad about saving Homestar from the Horrible Painting, it probably will not get answered.....and I found the drafts of my other 2 e-mails as well. Turns out Yahoo saves them automatically, go figure.

== Personal Stuff ==
I live in Hudson, North Carolina (a black hole of cultural un-diversity), and am attending college as a freshman. My real name is Josh and I am 18. My interests span the entire cosmos, from cooking to ancient mythology, with a deep and unbridled dislike of all things athletic. Despite that last tidbit, I can approach all subjects without intentional bias, giving good (or at least interesting if I can't help) advice based on my science/psychology background. You'd be surprised what you can do with a few years of intensive study.
I will be majoring in All Grades Science Education (except college level) w/ a double-minor in Psychology and Spanish as a second language. The greatest moments for me are moments of inspiration, regardless of when or how it happens. I write almost as much as I read, having time for neither during hardcore school weeks. I edit when I can, but all of you beat me to it. I have not created any pages outside of my user page. And for anybody interested that sees this page, I play Maple Story. My character's name is InfamousDS and my guild is called EvilHeroez (I only did the "z" so people would join, I wanted an "s" at the end). We have full members right now, so please don't ask to join. I play in Mardia-ch18 most of the time. You can look me up, but I will most likely ignore you until you mention H*R Wiki.
