==Category==
Should we categorize this as a toon, Homestar Runner email, or Strong Bad email? Maybe as all three? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Definitely Hremail and Sbemail. It's already on the Email list, and it has Hremail already in the title. {{User:Itama/sig}} 06:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

::It's listed as a sbemail on homestarrunner.com. We should go with that.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

::: It's important to note that on the main page, it's listed as "New Toon," but does have "HREMAIL" in the title AND shows up in the SBEMAIL list on Denny's Menu... so, in a strange twist of fate, it is regarded as all three? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:::: Also, on the toons page the tell-tale "HRE" blob makes it a definate hremail, and Denny's Menu calls it out as a sbemail, so it is, indeed, both. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 01:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

That phrase Homestar says.. "Don't Call it a comeback"... isn't that an L.L. Cool J lyric?

Actually, this is more of a sbemail, because TBC has changed the "New Toon" bubble to "new strong bad email". [[User:SuperLuigi|SuperLuigi]] 14:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:I always though that a Hremail ''is'' a toon. Hremails don't have there own button on the remote. But any way, lets look at the facts. The html says hremail. The main page says new sbemail. And in the Denny's Menu it says Hremail 3184. But in fun in the living room, the Hremail is only in the new stuff page. If you click on toons, it is nowhere, just like a sbemail. I think that on the new stuff page, it should say that it is a sbemail, because it is classified as such. What do you all think? [[User:origonalname]]

== Fun Fact? ==

Should we add a fun fact that in the commentary for [[email thunder]], Matt Chapman said that there would be no more emails? Or is it not important enough? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Easy Button? REALLY? ==

I was more reminded of those USB panic buttons and such, and TBH the 'easy button' isn't the only big red button out there. There's an excuse button, a bull**** button, an insult button, all kindsa buttons.
:I'm not trying to police the wiki, but I don't think you should use swear words, even on the talk pages. {{User:BubbleRevolution/sig}} 18:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::No, really, they sell a such thing as a button that says 'Bull****' when you press it.

::::Please don't be hatin', peoples. If the curse word is removed per Wiki policy, then there's no need to continue the conversation. Back on the actual ''topic'' of this post, I think it looks really similar to the easy button, and is shown at a straight-on angle as in the commercials for whatever store (Office Max? Staples?). --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::IMHO, it just looks like any other oversized red button. But whatever. [[Special:Contributions/98.176.133.158|98.176.133.158]] 13:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::::I think the staples easy button is certainly the most famous of big red buttons of this shape, if not the only one (as i haven't seen anything similar that wasn't a parody of the staples button already). {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

I send a email for Homestar

Dear Strong Bad
the sbemail 200 is your last email. [[User:Lucsar|Lucsar]] 11:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Uhhhhhhh... no kiddin'... {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 11:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

::I think we should close this discussion topic. [[User:MenacingBanjo|MenacingBanjo]] 16:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

::: Okay, so you sent Homestar an email for Strong Bad and used terrible grammer. So? [[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan]]

== Disc 7 ==

So, having made this email, this either means TBC will put this on Everything Else Vol. 4, or strongbad_email.exe Disc 7. And if it is the email DVD, then they will have to make at least 29 more. And then stopping at 230 would look untidy, so then they might make another 70 and release it as discs 8 and 9. But then they might want to take it up to at least an even 10... Hmmmmmmm... {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 11:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Or maybe they don't _have_ to make anything but rather just do stuff they like whenever they have an idea and the time. ;) If they should decide to end sbemails for good one day and happen to end them with an uneven number or too little content for a new DVD, they can do that. They could put them on a mixed DVD with "Everything Else" or just leave it at that and never sell them at all. Or they would find other options. Anyway, I think you get my point. ;) (It's me, Cass from Germany. Comp just logged me out.) --[[Special:Contributions/95.222.57.4|95.222.57.4]] 12:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

::Yeah, maybe that would have been better to put on the forum... {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Beth-shiba? ==

Is Senor Cardgage saying, "Beth-shiba," as written in the transcript, or [[Wikipedia:Bathsheba|Bathsheba]]?
:I'm pretty sure it's "Beth", because this is Senor we're talking about. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::He pronounced it Bath. The vowel sound Senor makes is almost 100% clearly an A sound. [[User:MenacingBanjo|MenacingBanjo]] 13:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:::::I tried, but it got removed as a "common name." I'm pretty sure it's not such in the US, at least outside of specific jewish communities, and even then I'd bet it's largely traceable to the Bathsheba refered to in the wiki link, but I'll let the wiki community decide, I guess. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 17:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::As for pronunciation, i'm neutral... it's could be a portmanteau between "beth" and "bathsheba", or just "bathsheba". that's not why i'm commenting. I'm commenting because it is certainly not a RWR, and probably isn't necessary as an explanation. I feel like it's a commonly enough KNOWN name, even if not many people HAVE it. But then again, i do come from one of those jewish-type communities the anonny mentioned, so i may have a bit of a skewed perception. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::I for one, have never heard of such a name and live in a major city. It probably would be useful to explain what this is, or at least provide a wiki link in the transcript itself rather than a RWR. -[[Special:Contributions/24.118.94.73|24.118.94.73]] 06:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I suspect it's not so much a regional thing as a background thing: people of certain backgrounds, including Deffy's, are likely to be familiar with the [[Wikipedia:Bible|book]] in question (I'm familiar with the name, too, in large part because I'm from [[Wikipedia:Christianity|another background]] that tends to be familiar with that book). Of course, just for cultural reasons, many Westerners with a non-religious background also have some knowledge of these things, and I'm not sure if this is obscure enough to need explaining or if doing so is too much explaining the joke. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Also, we never link in the transcript. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:27, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I just created the real-world reference and removed it after finding this thread. I'm not saying it isn't a real world reference, and interestingly, when you do a search for bathsheba in wikipedia it links to the famous character in Judeo-Christian religion. I think Bathsheba is much more well known as a person than as a name, but that being said, it doesn't really illuminate much to put it as a rwr. [[Special:Contributions/71.92.222.251|71.92.222.251]]

== Moonwalking? ==

Is it just me, or does Senor Cardgage's walking in place look like a tribute to Michael Jackson's moonwalk move?

== Lappy 486 and Paper 2.0: Rest In Peace==
They killed off Lappy the same way they killed of Tandy, I wonder what new computer will replace it. Perhaps Strong Bad and Homestar will answer an email together. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
:Sorry, but stuff like this really belongs on the forum. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 14:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Kelly-usa? ==

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.
:Actually, it's probably just an extention of the Homenadé joke made in [[Donut Unto Others]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== sbemail201 ==

Do you think this counts as sbemail201? Because if not, sbemail201.html will be the first official sbemail to not be located at "sbeamil{#}.html". {{User:The thing/sig}} 15:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, it counts (it's on the sbemail menu on the site), and [[flashback|no]], [[senior prom|it]] [[email thunder|won't]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Name styles ==

This may need to be listed on the [[HRW:STYLES|manual of style]] or its talk page, but I just wanted to state somewhere that this toon should be referred to as [[hremail3184]] when listed as a Strong Bad Email and [[Hremail 3184]] when listed as a Hremail or when TBC list it as such. I think our usage to this point has been consistent with the guideline, but I figured it should at least be mentioned out loud. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:I was the one who originally moved the page from [[Hremail 3184]] to [[hremail3184]], and I wasn't sure if I should fix the pages listed in "What links here?" for the former article. I suppose that clears it up. [[User:Dalkaen|Dalkaen]] 04:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== scroll buttons ==

there is no scroll buttons song as of this sbemail

Yeah. We know. It's been stated on the page. {{User:BubbleRevolution/sig}} 18:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Hey, I did that! {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== takes, has, means... ==

So, at least three times in this email, the characters use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, SB says "I can't takes it no more", Coach Z says "... now I don't has to" and the Lappy asks, "does that means?" Are these mentionable? I think they are, in the same vein that "Be's careful" and "be's'ing mean..." were in previous emails... but how do we mention them in this email.... a little help? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 21:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:"This email contains several instances of [[Deliberately Poor English]]." --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Identical explosion marks? ==

I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the explosion mark at the end of this toon is the exact same vector shape that was used in the same spot back in 'virus', after Bubs shot the Compy.
:I did notice, but I wasn't sure if it was worth noting. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==32X Reference==

I did a basic edit about the Grilled mushrooms 32x reference, but since I'm new at this can some one perfect it?

==So popular lately==

Gas rings around explosions in pop culture probably started with the Star Wars Special Editions. Worth a Real World Reference?
:Unless you can make that "probably" into a "definitely", I'd say not. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)
:Meh, I think it's a bit [[TTATOT]]. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Actually, SB's reference itself is rather broad ranging. It's not as if he is referencing a single source of the Saturn ring explosions, but actually the trend of having them. As such, one or two notable mentions might be worth making.

==PONK!==
Anyone else notice the name of the beer Bubs was drinking?--[[User:Robotguy4|Robotguy4]] 05:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:It is clearly "PONK!" Point? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::I think [http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm this] is his point. It really seems like it's a ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]'' reference (right down to Bubs mimicking the Scout's constant "BONK" proclamations); I just haven't added it in because the relationship isn't absolutely obvious. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Since you pointed it out, it's pretty obvious, but before you said anything, I wouldn't have even known about it. That, in my book, is plenty good reason to add it.
::::It has nothing to do with how obvious or not obvious it is and everything to do with whether or not it's actually referring to the thing in question. I don't think there's enough of a similarity to connect the two. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::I disagree. There seems to be plenty of parallels. And as for whether it's "actually referring to the thing in question," since when are you or any of the users on this Wiki actually inside the mind of TBC that you can know for certain what's a deliberate reference and what's not? We can only make such assessments based on external evidence, such as comparable similarities.
::::::Well, that's why we (used to) have STUFF... but anyway, in all honesty, I'm thinking of just adding it in and seeing where things go from there. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Likely it will get removed immediately. The way to go about it is to use this talk thread, not just put it on the page and see what happens. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::If it's a valid fact, it shouldn't get removed. Anyway, I'm on the fence.. I can see arguments both ways. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 23:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

==Other Info==

Is anyone planning on putting the writing from Strong Bad's newspaper and business card in the article? [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 08:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:Bwees-ness card is a good idea, and we would all be grateful for the addition of it. Da NewsPapes, however, (and correct me if I'm wrong) says exactly the same thing it has in its other SB-on-da-toilet scenes, so it needs no transcription. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== traffic ==

Do the sounds of traffic during Senor Cardgage's part sound like the traffic in his part during the FBI Warning on strongbad_email.exe Disc Six? -Logged Out Open Source Greg
:It sounds like it might be the same, but that's a note for [[Sound Effects]]. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== No Broken Lappy Menu? ==

I think this is the first sbemail where a computer explodes and there is no special menu for the broken computer, like after the tandy and the compy. I can't remember if those came in right away, or a few days later. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 14:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I believe there's been a gap in between the destruction of the computer and the broken menu. The dates on [[virus]] and [[Broken Compy Menu]] back that up. It's probably done that way to avoid spoiling the surprise of the destruction. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Magnificent Marzipan ==

* The Magnificent Marzipan is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Sensational_Sherri|Sensational Sherri]] and/or [[Wikipedia:Don_Muraco|The Magnificent Muraco]].

What evidence is there to support this claim aside from the alliteration? This seems extremely weak to me. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 20:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I agree. There are tons of alliterative titles like this. Without commentary confirmation, this is...augh! I don't wanna say it! TTATOT. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 00:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

== Already prepared to explode the lappy? ==

I put a fact on the page, but it got removed as unnotable, so I wanted to mention it here. Does no one else find it inconsistent that, although Strong Bad had just now (as of this email) been asked about explosions, he had bought the dooj button (in preparation of exploding the lappy) several weeks ago? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 22:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know about that, but I think a Remark should be made about the button not being plugged into the Lappy until SB points it out. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, it seems notable to me. Like all the <s>crap</s> very interesting fun facts that we put in. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::The way i see it, this email is basically SB telling about how he regularly splo's stuff up, at least as often as he breathes air molecules, so for him to plan to blow up the lappy even before recieving the question is VERY consistant with this email. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Ghost Lappy ==

The (demonic) shadow of Female Lappy in the explosion feels like a reference to the ghosts of the Tandy (Bad Graphics) and Compy (skeleton), but I'm not sure how (or if) to put this into an Inside Reference or Remark. Thoughts? {{User:Itama/sig}} 00:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:Remarks, that's where I think you should put it. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::No, you should put it in Inside References. --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 22:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

== Usa, Japan ==

<blockquote>* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa.</blockquote>

This doesn't seem quite right to me. In this case he is interpreting Usa as Kelly's last name, and I don't think it really stands on it's own as a reference specifically to that urban legend. The only thing that stopped me from removing it is the fact that they have referred to the urban legend before, and somewhat recently, but even that relies on either being a close follower of the TBC's work or making a priori connections in order to be considered a reference to the urban legend in my mind. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 12:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I really don't think this enough for a reference, because 1)I don't think they'd reference an urban legend TWICE within about two months, and 2)It's just SB pronouncing an abbreviation as a word. 3)He doesn't even mention Japan. The word "usa" would probably not be enough for a reference alone. Just my opinion. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 13:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I disagree with both of you. It is a fairly commonly known urban legend, and I see no reason to suppose that TBC wouldn't be referencing it. Otherwise, we have to ask the question: why would SB call attention to it unless there was some sort of humorous connection to be made, apart from the mere sound of the word?
::Because the "humorous connection" was the fact that he read Usa as her last name instead of her country. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 07:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

== 32x Reference? ==

When strongbad introduces the chili dog, the grilled mushrooms logo says 32x. I think this is a reference to the 32x add-on for the Sega genesis, as well as the fact that its somewhat shaped like a mushroom.

==Paper 2.0 in Cast?==

I started to think that the Paper 2.0 should be mentioned in the cast section, but I'm not sure if that can be counted here. Thoughts?
:Well, we don't know what paper it was, and either way, we don't list the Paper (or any pseudocharacter) in the cast under normal circumstances anyway. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
A separate question, I see many times mentioned that we don't know it was New Paper. Why not? Don't we know that the (old) Paper got burned up by a spark from Homestar's Computer when SB poured the MD on it? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.86|132.183.138.86]] 21:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
However, the old paper did return in Sb_mail 200, and it was previously burned, so it is possible that it could come back from the dead...
That, or since it "trancends time and space" it could have time travelled some how...--[[User:Robotguy4|Robotguy4]] 07:38, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

== Possible Popeye reference? ==

Anyone else think that part of Strongbad's opening line "I can't takes it no mores!" is a reference to Popeye, who frequently said "I've all I can stands, and I can't stands no mores!"?
:It's reminiscent, but not concrete enough to be notable, I think. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.162|132.183.138.162]] 17:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Is there any signifgence about Andy Kaufman (the half women/half man champion) that would make Strong Sad say this line? Like, he could be saying he thinks Andy is weak. Or is it just a regular whiny quip? I ask this so I can put it in the real-world reference. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 19:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

== Rake ==

It should be noted that the rake that Strongbad hits Homestar with isn't the same rake that Gardenboy holds in the sbemail "Yes, Wrestling".

== What we need is an image overhaul. ==

The image we use doesn't seem to sum up the email. I was thinking more along the lines of the blast-wavey saturn-ring explosion, but before the Lappy appears so not to ruin the surprise. The image of that existed at one point. Should we change it and, if so, where is the image now? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 16:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:That image was probably put there to avoid spoilers or something. We should probably change it. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 16:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
::[[:File:lappysplosion.PNG|Is this the image you were talking about?]] {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 16:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:::I agree that we need to change the summary-image. We advertise it enough as a Strong Bad Email to make the current image a last-ditch effort to hide anything. Yet, the explosion itself is a bit of a spoiler. A picture of the Steak Sandwich would be a bit more fitting. --[[Special:Contributions/76.224.216.122|76.224.216.122]] 17:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
::::The steak sandwhich, too, is a one-off-joke-style image. Besides, the exlposion doesn't show the Lappy, so it is anyone's guess what is happening. It doesn't spoil much, or anything really.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 17:26, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== Disputed fact ==

I added the following to the remarks section:
*The montage of Strong Bad's computers exploding does not feature the explosion from [[Biz Cas Fri 3]].
and it was removed by another user, with the explanation "it's puppet stuff and would look out of place". Now I know I'm a bit biased because I was the one who wrote it, and I'm not on here very often so I'm probably not as familiar as others with how this place works, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to hard-delete the fact. I think even though there's an explanation for it, it's still notable, since as far as I can remember it's the only computer explosion not included in the scene. What do you guys think? -[[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 21:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

PS sorry if I come across as doing this just because I'm upset because my fact got deleted, That's probably a factor, but I also wanted to make sure this was handled the right way. -[[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 21:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

:Strong Bad said that the explosions came from his 'very own computers', the computer used in Biz Cas Fri wasn't a computer he used, just one he owned or checked legit emails on. That could be a reason they didn't put it in. --[[User:SallyShally|SallyShally]] 00:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
::Also, because it's and not from a [[sbemail]], which all the rest are from. And it's puppet Strong Bad, not the real one. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 00:47, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
:::I find it funny that the puppets, which used an actual computer in their toons, are in contrast to the "real" toons, which use an animated computer... {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:21, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==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 grey 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 grey 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 grey 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}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are we even dating ''{chuckles and grins}'' right now? Are we even d— Are we even da—

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quieter and lower, with a sad look}'' No, she broke up with me again this morning.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This morning?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean ''{singing and dancing as before}'' this mo'nin'!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing together}'' This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo—

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there you ha' it 
My Homeless Roma'ic. 
Love Poems 101 
Oh the hearts you will win. ''{holds up a plug-in air freshener}'' 
Like this lavender scented plug-in ''{puts the air freshener back down}'' 
New paper, come on and get some!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:HomelessRomantic.PNG|thumb|Verses from the weird shrub and more!]]
*Click on "Homeless Romantic" at the beginning to view a book written by [[Senor Cardgage]] entitled "The Homeless Romantic".

*Click on the words "Love poems" at the end of the email to see a small clip with Strong Sad.
*:''{A very eager Strong Sad is jiggling up and down in a chair and holding a book of poems titled "Poem Tome by Strong Sad". A red phone with green marks that resemble Strong Bad's eyes is in the foreground, and the audio of the email can be heard faintly in the distance, along with the music from [[caffeine]]}''
*:'''STRONG SAD:''' Why isn't he calling me in on the Strong Badphone? This email was practically tailor-made for me!

==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.

===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]].
*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".
*[[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.
*The Strong Bad Phone is similar in concept to the Bat phone, a device Commissioner Gordon used to contact [[Batman]] in time of need in the live-action [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|'60s television series]].

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over guitar music}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender containing a Nintendo Game Boy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeing The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So...

''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I— I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{He jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything except him and the swirl turns black and white. Strong Bad distorts horizontally and vertically, then "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip with a number of buildings drawn in it. A caption at the top of the panel reads "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding- (sic)

''{Camera shifts to the next panel, which shows an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. While in the comic, everything Strong Bad says is also shown in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says also appears in a speech bubble, and is not lip-synced.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad appears in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is shown from the chest up in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman appears in front of a red background with his arms in the air.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. A kitchen and bathroom sink are shown with the faucets running. The bathroom tap has the word "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{He jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump! ''{falls down three panels. There is a woman with a Big Knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}'' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha? [sic]

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of a cable running through a hole in the wall.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat?

''{Cut back to the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice is slightly distorted, and a speech bubble appears from the swirl}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat turns around and turns on the blender. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" from when he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to the Old-Timey stage. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on the stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him is a sign that reads "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". An audience can be seen silhouetted at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes! ''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector drawn field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}'' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP. ''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "up", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator! ''{Cut back to previous view.}'' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth. Stinkoman jumps around and dodges the squares. Strong Bad also jumps over and around the squares, but appears to have more difficulty doing so. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. A bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad half runs towards the root beer and jumps in)''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Jump! ''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and plays a tune and dances.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other.}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to where "Da Huuuuuudge" is kept. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Striped ''{pronounced as "stripe-ed"}'' pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to a swirling nothingness of changing colours.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a zoomed up view of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room, which now has a green substance inside it, as well as the Game Boy. On the desk is one and a half avocados, and a jar reading "Total Load". Homestar is pressing the buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a zoomed out version of the Computer Room. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the swirl, along with Strong Badman appearing to the left of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses a button on the blender, which makes him and the swirl disappear. Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a super group and record a number one jam! ''{moans are heard from the Strong Bads, although they all remain perfectly still except for Old-Timey Strong Bad}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of e-mails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

''{Cut to Stinkoman standing next to Strong Badman and Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{singing}'' I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl! 

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the scene, revealing (from left to right), Stinkoman, Strong Badman, Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Bad, Vector Strong Bad, Keyboard Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage, Teenage Strong Bad, Sterrance and Tiny Handed Strong Bad.

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to closeups of the pear from two angles, its eyes google, then a closeup of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the medium shot, Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants...
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoey voice-over}'' Aw, man...

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsparilla]] is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. (The pronunciation "sass-parilla" is more common than "sar-sparilla," though, and the only spelling recognized in most dictionaries is ''sarsaparilla''.)
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed "too high." Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available, hence Strong Badman's choosing to live in his apartment rather than a secret underground lair.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*A freemason is a member of the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]], the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]] or any of their allied organizations ([[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc.) which fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]] and are often drunk to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.

===Trivia===
*This email is the longest email to date, almost a minute longer than [[flashback]], currently the next longest.
*When Strong Bad jumps from one panel to another in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel with an explosion, saying "TADAOW!", and a panel with Deutschman (from [[haircut]]), holding a chain of sausages, saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", which is the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears, so the fact they are mentioned is notable.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|rare]] occasion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the guitar [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*It is interesting to note that Strong Bad's alternate universe machine is also a time machine; the [[Old Timey]] world and the [[20X6]] world are not actually different universes, rather just time periods in the same universe. However, some theories in quantum physics state that different times are also alternate universes.
**This is consistent with [[2 emails]], in which [[Homestar Runner]] used a blender and a Game Boy to make a time machine.
*This email introduces a new 'ridiculously huge when it's closed' frame to [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman's]] mouth animation.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.

===Goofs===
*During the comic scene, when the panel changes from "Because, mere mortal" to "Is rent controlled!", the panels underneath get changed.
*At the end, when the paper comes down, you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (Compare to Keyboard Strong Bad standing next to him.)
*During the recording session at the end, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the Alternate Universe Portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping.
*When all of the Strong Bads are warping in, the bottom half of the text on the Lappy is bigger and darker than the upper half, which is normal.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string.
*Putting a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] in a [[Blender|blender]] to access an alternate reality was discovered by Homestar in [[2 emails]], when he made a time machine in this way.
*Strong Bad also confused the value of money and lengths of time in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's "Mash go on that blender" is based on similar lines from [[flashback]], ("The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive [[Jam Box|jambox]]"), [[strongbad_email.exe]] ("make your selection and mash go, moron!"), and [[Everybody Knows It]] ("Mash play on that jambox").
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The music in the Strong Badman comic is from [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]].
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells "Dawg".
*The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of," with the worst children's storybook-originating contests being the Strongest Man in the World Contest from the [[Original Book]] and the Ten-Step Footrace from [[flashback]].
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].
*"Number 1 jam" is a phrase previously used in [[time capsule]].
*Old-Timey Strong Bad previously used the word "Doppelgänger" to refer to Strong Bad in [[flashback]].
*Stinkoman's lyric "I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl!" is probably a reference to Strong Bad's desire for female emailers, as mentioned in the email rap of [[dragon]].


=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is more well known as an enemy from the ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' series of computer games. The plot for these games involved demons coming out of portals to hell.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "photoshopped" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively, to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" originated with Bill Cosby's "Dentist" routine, which was later popularized by the character Mushmouth from ''[[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]''.
* The way Strongbad travels from panel to panel while visiting Strong Badman may be inspired by the videogame [[Wikipedia:Comix Zone|Comix Zone]].
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]. Though Strong Bad sarcastically calls her creators "geniuses", She-Hulk was co-created by the legendary comic book artist [[Wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] and [[Wikipedia:John Buscema|John Buscema]]. Interestingly, She-Hulk comics are noted for their fourth-wall breaks, similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel.
* Homestar's unusual speech in the surreal Coach Z easter egg is based on a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]]. (Strong Sad had cited Lynch as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].) The actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here).
**The red drapes in the background of this scene resemble the red drapes in the Black Lodge in the referenced episode of Twin Peaks. Agent Dale Cooper spills black coffee on himself in that scene, similar to Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee.
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]] theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'.
* The all-star super group recording a number one jam calls to mind [[Wikipedia:USA for Africa|USA for Africa]], a group of forty-five U.S. musicians that collaborated on the number one single "We Are the World" in 1985, the profits from which were used for famine and disease relief in Africa.
*The font in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]] comics.
* The sound effect in the fishing Easter egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_with_John Fishing With John]

Is this some kind of reference that I am missing?
[[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 07:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

: Uh, how? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
: I would say it's a reference to the line "A Dingo Took My Baby!" This was said in the film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094924/ "A Cry in the Dark"] which was based on the case of Azaria Chamberlain, an Australian child whose parents claimed was taken by dingos in the night. This line has been referenced a lot, specifically in sitcoms (e.g. Seinfeld). [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002E22E/002-0997424-1932055?v=glance&n=130 Amazon.com says:]'"The dingo took my baby" remains a derisive expression in the Australian lexicon.'

: Hmm, no. It's referencing how Strong Bad describes "evidence of destroyed crops, stolen babies, and family bike-rides" and the corny tourist attraction T-shirts that always seem to irreverantly mention some legend. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 01:09, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
::Exactly - Qermaq is absolutely right, and I think the reference on the article to the dingo-baby case is a huge stretch. Strong Bad merely mentions earlier in the email that "babies were stolen." I remember the baby-case, but this has nothing to do with it, and everything to do with Strong Bad's passing line. [[User:Triumvir|Triumvir]] 16:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Certainly the t-shirt is simply playing off of Strong Bad's line, but that doesn't mean the line couldn't be a reference to Azaria Chamberlain. I would readily agree that it's too vague, if it weren't for the fact that TBC already made a fairly clear reference to the incident with [[King Dingo]]. On the other hand, it could just as easily refer to old European folk tales about goblins stealing babies, since those are also creatures of myth & legend while dingos are not. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:18, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
::::I may be mistaken, but I don't think that just because a bit resembles something in the real world it's definitely a reference to it. I mean, if some story of a guy shooting his computer was found, would we add that as a reference to [[virus]]? I don't think so. I think it's doubtful TBC were thinking of Australian dingo babynappers when they wrote the joke. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 23:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
::So I guess this reference is going to be left up, in spite of the protests? Qermaq and I have argued (quite reasonably) that this 'real-world' reference is a huge stretch. The source of the saying on the t-shirt is obviously the line Strong Bad said earlier in the email. Further, I think that even if you argued that the line Strong Bad says is a reference to the dingo-baby case, you'd be stretching it. TheNicestGuy even made an argument in our favor - this was a reference to the legends in fairy-tales of babies being carried off by goblins, et al.

== SG:C2C Reference ==

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

== Annoying TV Show SFX ==

Not sure what the writer meant with the SFX and the Geddup Noise having the same "notes". You'd be hard pressed to call Geddy a musical note. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 23:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:It was nonsense, so I removed it. I also removed the claim that it was the same sound effect used when [[Taranchula]] was first mentioned, in [[band names]]. That was definitely an amplified string instrument tuned extremely low (or pitch-shifted), with a chorus effect. The myths & legends sound is percussion-based, more like a marimba riff with heavy reverb and echo. By that token, if there is an existing sound effect upon which this one is based, it would most likely be the signature "dong-dong" of the Law & Order series, both from the sound itself, and from its ridiculous overuse throughout the show. The latter argument applies even more to the signature "whoosh" of Homicide: Life on the Street. However, since neither of these shows explores myths or legends, I think a Reference would be tenuous at best. Can anyone think of a myth/legend show that has a similarly annoying signature sound effect? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 03:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Many Mins? ==

Would "Very Scary Monstermin" be a reference to "Santamin", or are the two perhaps an inside joke? [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

: I thought that too. And it's only Homestar who ever says "sanataman" or "monsterman" so it could be a quirk of his.

== Mythbusters? ==

Re: comment "The show Strong Bad mentions at the begining of the email is a reference to the The Discovery Channel's popular show, Mythbusters" - no. It's more like "In Search Of..." or any number of shows exploring strange phenomena. Mythbusters is not at all like SB's show.

Agreement/disagreement? [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 01:41, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I kinda agree... from what I remember, Mythbusters tries to disprove urban legends, and then if it can't, it decrees them plausible. In Search Of seems to be more like SB's show.

: I'm going to go ahead and balleet it. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 04:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I think this is more of a reference to the show, Truth or Scare.[[User:The Noid|The Noid]] 13:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, hold on a sec, guys. I think the Mythbusters reference has some credence at the moment - have you guys seen their current line of ads for the show? They feature a sasquatch out in the woods talking to the camera about how afraid he is that the Mythbusters will eventually discover him. Complete with cheesy French or Russian accent (I can't tell). While it's not a direct reference, I think some mention might be due. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:I second that, the whole thing, down to the Trogdor mini-ad is a spoof of the Discovery channel's latest antics, among the most popular, if not the most popular, of which is Mythbusters. The show has also been using historians to explain the origins of legends. Even though the format of "their show" is quite different, the clues are still there. *play X-files theme* --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

::Right, but the tone of the program is totally different. SB is clearly going for "In Search Of...". While the name of the programs share the word "myth", one sets out to prove or disprove a myth (Mythbusters) while this one (MM or LL?) simply lays out evidence to lead the viewer. Would you ever see blurry photographic evidence on Mythbusters? [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 17:55, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Bear in tennis shoes? ==

: My answer: What campfire song? never heard of it. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 03:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:I highly doubt it. The color scheme of the shoes was obviously intended to imply that it was Homestar himself posing as the Bear-Shark. A double meaning seems unlikely. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 03:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I looked at the shoes, and I didn't see white sneakers with blue soles. It looked more like little gray lines. {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

== Intro song ==

I get the feeling Mr. Bad goes out of his way to come up with intro songs that ''feel'' like they're parodies of something but actually are not. I certainly can't place this one, but searching the Web for similar lyrics turned up "Walkin' With a Mountain" by Mott the Hoople: 
''And if I had a choice in life'' 
''I'd take that mountain for my wife'' 
Anyone know what this song sounds like? I'm not hopeful. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 03:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Morgan Freeman ==

Could this be a reference to Half-Life? --[[User:Cyberdemon|Cyberdemon]] 4:08, 14 Feb 2006
:No. The protagonist of [[Wikipedia:Half-Life|Half-Life]] is named ''Gordon'' Freeman. [http://imdb.com/name/nm0000151/ Morgan Freeman] is the co-star (with Tim Robbins) of The Shawshank Redemption. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 03:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Biscuit-Dough Hands Man ==

As I'm new, I'll pose this as a question. Why was the item "Biscuitdoughhandsman is a reference to "[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]." Bubs drew him from the [[King of Town]]'s description of the criminal who stole his crown, who was actually Strong Bad." removed? It is true. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 03:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

: Well, I see it's back. Where do I learn a bit more about what is in and what is out? [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 04:00, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:I'm going to guess that it was because [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] (note the "proper" spelling, although Strong Bad fudges it in this email) has appeared several times and has his own filmography. That said, the removal was over-hasty, because nowhere else in the article is this pointed out. While his origins don't necessarily need to be explained here, he at least needs to be mentioned and linked as an Inside Reference. He's neither present enough to be part of the Cast, nor obvious enough to be glossed over.

:As for where to learn about this sort of thing, check out [[HRWiki:Standards]]. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 04:10, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

::I removed it since he's linked above, in Remarks, and because it would be kind of unusual to provide a fun fact on a character saying "This is where this character was first introduced, and what happened in that 'toon," when a link to its page would suffice (imagine what it would be like if we did that for everything!). I'd still prefer to remove it, but I'll give it some time for debate first now that it's been reinstated and challenged. Specifically, the second sentence seems unrelated to ''this'' email, and the first sentence simply gives his origin; the only information that we really need here is that he ''is'' a pseudocharacter who has a page. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm the one who took it down in the first place. I took it down because the fact stated that his name appearing was a ''reference'' to Sb's in Jail Toon, but technically, it's not. I vote no. {{User:Salty/sig}} 13:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:I have an idea. We can take down the fun fact about Biscuit Dough Hands Man, and we can link to him in the Easter eggs section! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
::How about simply mentioning where this "character" first appeared and letting that be it? We do have other references (like the Mighty Warrior from TGS) to places where infrequent characters first appeared. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Gentlemen, gentlemen. He ''is'' linked, in Remarks; and the difference between him and the Mighty Warrior is that the latter has only appeared in one place before.

== Shark-Tooth Bubs? ==

Likely a stretch...but does Bubs holding a shark-tooth necklace obliquely reference to the [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] doll? That was one of the first things that came to mind when he was selling the necklaces at the stand. -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 11:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:i dunno, but that is frikken funny... i hadnt seen that b4. {{User:Csours/sig}} 15:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Bear vs. Shark? ==

Could the whole Bear holding a Shark thing poosibly be a reference to the indie band Bear Vs. Shark?

:Doubt it. They existed from 2003 to 2005 and were based in MI. What are the odds? [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 17:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:The Real-World References for [[date]] mentions a book called ''Bear v. Shark''. It was published in 2001, so it's possible that the book inspired both the band and the counter-measure separately. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Pom Pom dog? ==

Does Homestar saying Pom Pom is his dog refwerence to Pom Pom's Character Page, and/or Biz Cas Fri? "My dog! My main man! My ace in the Hole!" Please tell me whatcha' think. Also, could Pom Pom "the dog" growling and pooping everywhere refer to how animals act different when something strange is heading their way? Your <s>onion</s> opinion is needed. {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 21:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:"My dog Pom Pom" as a typical Homestar mangling of his own tendency to call everyone and everything, specifically including Pom Pom, his "dawg"? Sounds plausible to me. I would not call it obvious enough that it couldn't be unintentional, but probably worth mentioning.

:Growling and pooping? Well, um, yeah. That was kind of the whole point. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 02:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
i thought of the Carve-nival first thing. {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:09, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

== Bear v. Radiohead ==

The shot glasses look like the Radiohead 'Kid A' logo.

There's a picture of it up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bear20Big.gif .

:Yes they do, but only because they're both fairly primitive drawings of bears. Nothing compelling to connect them, I think. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 02:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:They do look similar - with TBC having many references to indie, rock and metal music in their cartoons i think it's reasonable to assume this is a nod to radiohead.

::Reasonable? I disagree. The Bearshark looks nothing like that logo, only that they're both bears and have sharp teeth. It's a stretch of Mr Fantastic levels. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 12:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== Homes with Rollercoasters in them Network ==

Currently the real world reference to this show includes home improvement shows like Monster House. However this could just as easily be a reference to shows like MTV Cribs which feature celebtrities and their outreageous homes.

== Cornsistency ==
Maybe it's just me, but I think there should be some consistency in the transcript for A/The/the Mighty Warrior. The cast list says "A", as does his bio, but the Easter egg and Inside Reference says the/The. My personal feeling is "A" works best, with a link to the definite article page, but I don't want to take that initiative without others' opinions. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 05:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
:Sustained! (doink doink doink) More accurately, I think the Inside Reference one should change to "A", but I'm cool with the Easter Egg one in context (it lists the character in the dialogue line as "A MIGHTY WARRIOR," but speaks of "a frame of the Mighty Warrior..." To me that's okay. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:26, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
::lol, the Easter Egg transcript is something I added after posting my original comment. Now the next step should be making a page [[Indefinite Article]], redirecting it to [[Definite Article]], and adding A Mighty Warrior to the page. Just a thought. (I'd do it myself, but I hate taking initiative and, well, I'm really tired right now.) [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 06:51, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

== Star Wars reference ==

Does anyone else think that one of Strong Bab's fence drawings looks suspiciously similar to one of those Star Wars starfighters, or whatever they're called? I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, so I can't name the exact one, but I'm almost completely sure I've seen something like that in a Star Wars movie. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:47, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

== Homes with monorails in them... ==

I think there was an episode of Ripley's Believe it or Not where they showed a guy that had built a functioning monorail that circled his backyard. That's the first thing that came to my mind when SB said "Homes with Rollercoasters in Them Network". Anyone else remember that or think it might be worth a reference? {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 07:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

:The New York New York casino in Las Vegas has a roller coaster inside. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 17:26, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

::A casino isn't a home, though. At least it shouldn't be. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 17:31, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

== Roller Coaster two words comment ==

Take a peek at the comment on the comment at the end of Goofs. Should it look like that?

*I had changed it to
**look like this

but it was reverted to the dotted box form. Julst looks ugly. Is that standard? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

:It's a moot point, since the item shouldn't have been there in the first place. I've removed it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Let's assume it was a valid comment on comment. Which format is correct? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== Lacker/Lacquer ==

This email includes another instance of Coach Z saying "lacker/lacquer room". People will no doubt say it's a coincidence, what with Coach Z's standard accent and all, but when I first heard it the very first thing that came to mind was the [[part-time job]] audio commentary. I think TBC wanted to use that phrase again, but seeing as how he doesn't make a reference to lacquer or microwaves or anything, it probably doesn't work as a significant reference. It's just the phrase again. So I just thought I'd mention it on the Talk page rather than attempting to use it as an actual Fun Fact. It's no big deal. -Guest

== Aquabats ==

I had suggested a Fun Fact recently indicating the title "Myths and Legends" as a reference to The Aquabats. However, this was removed shortly. Here's a reference though: [http://theaquabats.com/myths/index2.html See for yourself.] H*R isn't referencing the album title, which is "Myths, Legends, and Other Amazing Adventures", but rather the term "Myths and Legends", which appears repeatedly on the Aquabats site. Notice the page title and the side menu. -Guest
:However, there's no clear link between this band and the sbemail. For it to be a reference, it'd need to be something TBC know about, not some obscure west-coast band. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
::Oh, okay. They're known pretty well in various circles, so I was just very familiar with the term "myths and legends" associated with the Aquabats. But if they're not a likely candidate for a reference, that's okay.
