Abcorn: we should only count appearances in which we actually SEE the Cheat hold a spoon

== Spoons not a [[HRWiki:spoon|spoon]]? ==

Someone keeps deleting this page without discussion. This is a discusiion. So I vote to keep. That's one for. Until consensus is met, do not delete.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 20:37, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

:You know, this could be considered an abuse of power. Not once did anyone but you ever do anything of the sorts, and yet you refuse to wait and turn it back into crap. Then you protect it to prevent anyone from seeing what is actually being discussed and ruining it for everyone. Anyone who would want this page will now see a lood of crap and they will attempt to delete it. That is wrong, man.

I suppose this doesn't really add to the discussion, but I personally find it hilarious that we're so dorky that we would even ''know'' that The Cheat's never held a spoon. [[User:Tymime|Tymime]] 02:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
:It was easy to figure out. First I took [[:Category:The Cheat Filmography|The Cheat's filmography]] and did an automated search for the word "spoon". I got 12 results:
::*Homestar holds the spoon in [[army]].
::*The spoon in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] is taped to Homsar's pumpkin, er, eggplant.
::*The word "spoonerism" is in [[privileges]].
::*The spoon in [[caffeine]] puts Sanka in Strong Sad's orange juice.
::*Homestar hit The Cheat with a spoon in [[Labor Dabor]].
::*The spoon in [[Halloween Fairstival]] is a reference to Homsar's eggplant from the previous toon.
::*In [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], Strong Bad wants his tattoo to look like a prison tattoo he carved out himself with a spoon and some soap.
::*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] has the ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.
::*[[technology]] has another spoonerism.
::*In [[keep cool]], Strong Bad places a spoonful of hoisin sauce on Strong Sad's disturbing soft-serve flip.
::*Homestar has the wooden spoon again in [[more armies]]; there's a spoonerism too.
::*In [[pet show]], Homestar is kneeling at Strong Bad's feet while holding a spoon with relish on it.
:Ergo, The Cheat has never held a spoon—at least not on screen. (Although he did hold a whisk in [[yes, wrestling]].) And I prefer "nerdy". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:45, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::Would Labor Dabor be closer (re: the closest he gets) then? -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.119|128.103.10.119]] 03:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yeah [[wikipedia:Revenge of the Nerds|Gilbert]], we are kinda nerdy to know all that we do. Not quite nerdy as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugk37TvIR8E some], but nerdy none the less. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::''"In pet show, Homestar is kneeling at Strong Bad's feet while holding a spoon with relish on it."'' Wouldn't that mean that The Cheat MAY have held a spoon offscreen to pull the relish foot on Strong Bad? Although we can't verify that (he could have used a sandbox shovel, a fork, a jar of relish), that could be the closest thing to him actually holding a spoon. :P --[[User:InsanityBringer|InsanityBringer]] 13:47, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::: What did any of that have to do with The Cheat? {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 21:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
:::: Not anything. I think the implication is that ''Homestar'' snuck in and planted the relish, and the "own medicine" that Strong Bad is getting is having someone cheat against ''him''. The Cheat was angry about the relish. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
::::: Truthfully, I had no idea what the connection between what you said and The Cheat until the others clarified. I think the Bros Chos would need to be off their rockers to have thought that we were to inturpret it that way. So no, I don't think there was connection. As before, The Cheat has never held a spoon. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 22:05, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::: I agree with what someone said earlier: we should only count appearances in which we actually ''see'' the Cheat hold a spoon. That was never. --[[User:Abcorn|Abcorn]] 00:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

== Tell it as it is? ==

At first, I thought this article was serious until I looked at the edit history. Shouldn't we note that this is a joke article that was motivated by The Brother Chaps' comment? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:43, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
:Not sure. But here is a possible explanation for TBC's comment. The Cheat held a whisk in [[yes, wrestling]], and maybe it was mistaken for a spoon? {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 18:51, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, maybe. Or maybe TBC was just saying a random thing with a random character. Or maybe there was a moment where he did hold a spoon and we missed it because it was like half a second? I don't know. We missed the fact that slime (or whatever it was) got on the camera in [[hremail3184]] for, like, a week after it came out. I'm going to look. In my opinion, for now we should keep the page as it is. {{User:doctorwho295}} 10 October 2009

== Do we really need to get all worked up? ==

Do we really need to get all worked up over this? TBC mentioned in their line that without the Wiki, they wouldn't be able to remember which cartoon the Cheat was holding a spoon in. I personally like this article/page. It can be assessed and appropriate action can be taken when the mention is removed, but for now, leave it as it is. As for why they mentioned it, I'm sure that they didn't search for cartoons in which the Cheat held a spoon. They just said a random statement. - [[User:Abcorn|Abcorn]] 04:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
: That is exactly what we agreed on in the first section. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 19:03, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Since it will probably be necessary in the near futuré, you can type the é by holding Alt, typing 130 on your numeric keypad, and releasing Alt. This beats having to hunt it down to copy/pasté. --[[User:Emtu|Emtu]] 17:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

::Bupkis, that method's not working for me. i'm pretty sure Alt-130 is the best way. (this has to be on the keypad, it doesn't work on the numbers above the letters) {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, my keyboard lacks a keypad, so the Crtl and Shift method was likely made as an alternative. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 17:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Also, you can make it by entering &eacute;. It shows up in the Wikicode as that, but it looks like é on the page. Some people's editors have been known to do bad things with unusual characters and translate them into gibberish or "normal" characters, so this method should generally be safer; it used to be the standard here, but that may have changed.

:::::::::::I'd like to wait for the input of [[User:It's dot com|someone higher on the totem pole than me]], but I'm not promising that. I'm attempting to find an example of the problem caused by special characters, but actual usage of special characters is rare enough that it's hard. I know there was one with the "½" character (it was printed as an actual character and one person's edit inadvertently turned it into "1/2", which then looked all wrong.) Problem is, providing the link will be difficult, as that happened years ago, and I think (not sure) it was on the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, which has skrillions upon kajillions upon hundreds of edits. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::(edit conflict) Sorry, it should always use the html code. It SHOULD be changed if it's the other way in the code. And "[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/infinitesimal?r=75 infinitesimal]" is right. The difference in space is negligible. The difference in functionality outweighs it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::I'm inclined to disagree. With the ever-increasing adoption of Unicode, I find the use of straight characters much more convenient than html codes (which I find harder to memorize) and they make the wikicode easier to read. Issues like the ½ turned into "1/2" may have been a bug, or lack of knowledge by the editor (where the html-code version would fare no better). An example of a page with issues is [[:Category:Señor Filmography]] on [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]] which I'd consider a Mediawiki bug that should be fixed. Nevertheless I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with using html codes, but if we were to "enforce" some "standard" here, I'd opt for inline characters in lieu of html codes. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::(edit conflict for at least the 5th time today) ok ok ok, i'm not going to change them, unless there are, say, 128 odd characters on a page, and it would save 3/4 of a kilobyte to write it the short way. so basically, since that is quite unlikely to happen, i probably won't ever anymore. so can't all the methods be accepted? Right now where i would like to stand is: Anyone may use whatever method they want to write the character, and they will not be tampered with. i remember seeing some sort of weird hexadecimal code once in the url bar that was even harder on the eyes than &egrave; on the [[-èd]] page. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Page titles are a different matter; they're harder to change by accident. That's the real problem. (Stux, the ½ → 1/2 problem was not a deliberate edit on the part of the editor. Bug? Yeah, probably, but since it's not on our end, best to pre-empt it.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:AHA! [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Teen_Girl_Squad&diff=prev&oldid=78667 Found it!] Took long enough. Actually, that one was never updated to the proper formatting, I now notice, but that is an example of the problem I indicated. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
:BTW, even accented letters used to glitch out when we switched formats. Looking at certain very old revisions of existing pages shows that certain letters get "?"ed out.

It looks very likely to me that the Compé will have a different background for each new email, and it seems like there should be a page listing them.

Just wondering if we should start compiling a main story arc page thing for the strong bad e-mails. Not all of the e-mails of course are a part of the main story arc for the strong bad e-mails.

== Finished ==

Hey guys, um, I think TBC are finished with sbemails. I have two reasons:
A. They said in the email thunder commentary that they were done
B. I just tried to email strong bad, and it said that the address was dead, like, they closed the e-mail account.
So should we put that on the page?
--[[User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake|Crudely Drawn Cupcake]] 01:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::Seconded, no weird errors. Are you sure you typed the email address correctly? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I just clicked on the paper at the end, and also, what about the whole commentary thing?--[[User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake|Crudely Drawn Cupcake]] 02:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:Then it means your browser isn't set up for the link from the paper to work, and i still hold the opinion that the commentary is them messing with us. But it's really pointless to discuss hre anyway, as it has no bearing on the page. If they make more, we'll report it, if they give a sure sign that they're over, we'll report that. Nothing to do in the meantime, and any speculation is pretty much pointless. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Perhaps? --{{User:Blow Up the Ocean/sig}}
If they actually officially ''announce'' that they're over with the Sbemails, then I think it'll certainly be notable to post. However, what they said on the commentary may ''or'' may not be true, considering that TBC are rather evil in that they like to mess with our heads all the time. As such, it isn't notable enough to be put on the page. If you guys want to continue speculating, you may want to take it over to the [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum], where your comments will be better received. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:42, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:Do you post on the forum? --{{User:Blow Up the Ocean/sig}} 05:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
We're now coming up on 6 months since the last sbemail. My opinion is, if the 23rd of March comes and goes with no sbemail, the page should change to the past tense. --Cydonos 20:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
:No. It is not our decision to officially declare the end of Strong Bad Emails. When TBC themselves announce that they're not going to do anymore emails during a public appearance or interview (the [[email thunder]] commentary does NOT count), only ''then'' do we change the page to the past tense. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

:You're calling it? You're hardly the first. The reason we don't give the commentary much weight is that it's clear that they hadn't discussed it ahead of time, and they don't take their own commentaries very seriously. They've been known to say things simply for the shock or humor value. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:42, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

== pop culture satire? ==

In the intro we list 3 emails that satirize pop culture, japanese cartoon, action figure, and isp.

::::::I think it has been pretty well established now that the new computer is the [[Compy Catalog|Compy Compé]], and while the corpy email might not fit perfectly into either era, I'm of the opinion that a single sbemail can't really constitute an era as defined by the english language and therefore should be merged into the previous/next era anyway. --[[Special:Contributions/121.223.243.95|121.223.243.95]] 06:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::but, the broken tandy had it's own menu also, and strong bad checked weird dream on the cheat's computer for the same reason he checked imaginary on the corpy: because his home computer broke.
I'd like to renew this discussion, mainly because it looks odd to have a one-email-long section. To avoid repeating myself, I'll instead direct you my comments above beginning "If the Corpy turns out to be a one-off interim computer". (Which it did.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:What Dot com suggests makes sense. Originally, I didn't mind the section by itself since the Corpy had its own menu. However, looking back, a menu by itself shouldn't represent an "[[Wikipedia:Era|era]]", not even a mini-era. That said, I do think we do need some section clearly listing which emails were done on non-era machines. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::It's clearly after the lappy era though. that's why it doesn't fit in the lappy menu; it was never on that menu. and the email came out before strong bad even knew about the compé, so it was clearly before the compé era. do y'all have a problem with the word "transition"? it's used there to mean that it isn't an era at all. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Okay, that's one of the questions we need to answer. What is an era? Why is it useful to split the emails into eras? (Note that it {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Strong_Bad_Email&oldid=289450 hasn't always been that way}}.) Depending on the definition, is it possible to have an email that belongs to no era? Do the aesthetics of not having an email by itself come into play at all? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I think to answer these questions we need to look at why they were created in the first place and its [[Talk:Strong_Bad_Email/Archive_3#Era_labels|accompanying discussion]]. They were first made for aesthetic and organizational reasons, letting us better manage the growing list of emails. The nomenclature seemed to be, at first, an afterthought, and only with time has it evolved into the serious business that it is. I think we should, in this case, prioritize organization and aesthetics, and if our lists don't overlap eras, then they should just be marked as such or noted somewhere. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that we should have a section further down the page called "Transition eras". This is were we not only list the Corpy email, but the pom pilot and tangerine dreams email as well. Any one else share this thought? [[User:Origonalname|Origonalname]] 20:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::Without further qualification (for instance, [[imaginary]] being listed as a Lappy or Compé email on the top), I'm afraid I cannot agree with that idea. The emails should remain in order. Besides, [[the bird]] is ''not'' a transition email (it's arguable that [[weird dream]] can be considered one, but not [[the bird]]. While we're on the subject, [[from work]], which was also on the Corpy, wasn't a transition either.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::If we have an era for the Corpy, just because it had it's own menu, then why don't we have an era for the broken Tandy? And why don't we have an era for when the Tandy was broken, and the menu was on a piece of paper? that makes about as much sense as making a whole era just for a transition computer. But maybe Jay is right about the bird. But i'm still not convinced that the Corpy era makes sense.

== Flinger's Menu ==

Starting at this email ([[imaginary]]), the sbemails page doesn't say Denny's Menu --[[User:Smahksilae|Smahksilae]] 03:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== SBEmails? ==

Why does everyone think that Arcade Game, Puppet Time, Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag, Superbowl Dealie, and Rotten Eggs are sbemails? Half of them don't even mention the word "email" in them (NO, "SBEMAIL NEXT WEEK" OR "DUE TO THE SUPERBOWL, THE SBEMAIL WILL BE LATE THIS WEEK" DOES NOT COUNT). Just because the Compy appears doesn't mean it's an email. The NQSBEMails should only be ones that mention Strong Bad checking an email (Weclome Back, for example), ones that are a teaser for a milestone (Not The 100th Sbemail, SBEmail 150?!?), or ones that have an actual email and he answers it (SBCG4AP and Sick Day). -[[USER: SBE-MAIL CHECKER DAN]] 9:58 AM, July 23rd, 2009
:Yes, but those cartoons are different from regular "Shorts" in the way that they are made to show that there will be a new Sbemail soon. For example, you don't see a notice after most of the regular cartoons saying "Holiday Toon next week" or something close to that. Because they can't be grouped like the normal cartoons, they're grouped as NQSbemails. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 15:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Dan: That's not what our definition of Not Quite Strong Bad Emails is (emphasis on the "Not Quite"). The only thing that matters is that each of these shorts "were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails". That's it. Sure, some of them fill in gaps between emails while others were just notes stuck on the Compy's screen, but they all meet the minimum criterion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Today, the sbemail menu keeps on loading and loading and loading.

== The Widescreen Dilemma ==

The lappy screen measures about 5:8 ratio. The Compe (using linux, no ALT Shortcuts) screen measures about 14:25 ratio. The compe is obviously widescreen, but, I believe the lappy is clearly not widescreen. Meaning that if the compe is actually used, it will be the first computer for strong bad that is widescreen. Should this be noted here or on the compe page? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 00:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
:Probably the Compe (no numpad) page, but let's wait until (if?) he uses it if we do mention it. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 01:01, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

== compe menu (i forget the alt shortcut) ==

is there a way to remove that black border around the green?

== Compe styled era box? ==

I just [[User:ColdReactive/sandbox|made this]], how's it look? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:Great, you just might want to lessen the width of the border, and check it with the CSS of the Lappy style:
<pre>
#bodyContent blockquote.email, #article blockquote.email, #mw_contentholder blockquote.email {
border: 4px solid #cc9;
background: #000;
background-image: url(/skins/common/images/emailbackground.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom right;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 1em;
font-family: courier new, monospace;
width: 500px;
}
</pre>

The Strong Bad head width could be changed a bit. Can't really take a look at the code right now, but make sure you're using <code><nowiki><blockquote></nowiki></code>. You may want to make another version that looks like the email client as well, since we will probably use that one and the one you've already made. Got to get back to the transcript. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not using a block quote (I AM using a block quote around the autocolumn though as per normal), I'm using a custom DIV for the strong bad head because blockquotes won't fit nicely above/inside the grass area. I edited it more to tone down on that big black border. I added a more transparent PNG of SB's head, and I explained about the minimum size of the era box. I have now also added a transcript box for the compe. Please take a look at it as well. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
::The transcript version is nice! I would change the <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> that holds the message into a <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, with a CSS <code>display:block;</code> property and a <code>padding:4px;</code> property, remove the nesting, and it's good to go. The <code>background:transparent;</code> properties should be rid of as they are of no use. The fact that we're using divs to substitute for the double-line bottom border doesn't feel right with me, but right now I can't think of anything better.

When we see [[The Homestar Runner gets Something Stuck in his Craw]], it comes between sbemail 193 and 194, right? However, at the end of sbemail 100, Strong Bad is about to read to Homestar the exact same story/flashback. Should we change it from 193½B to 100½? I'm not so sure about this, but, the description is ''The reading of the story takes place after what appears to be a Strong Bad Email.'' Should this be updated to ''The reading of the story takes place after Strong Bad Email 100'', or ''The reading of the story takes place after what appears to be a Strong Bad Email, probably Strong Bad Email 100 ([[flashback]])''? This is also supported because in [[flashback]] and this cartoon, the floppy disk container reads the same.

Hey guys, um, I think TBC are finished with sbemails. I have two reasons:
A. They said in the email thunder commentary that they were done
B. I just tried to email strong bad, and it said that the address was dead, like, they closed the e-mail account.
So should we put that on the page?

Should we consider replacing those examples with ones that satirize even more prominent aspects of pop culture? (I dunno what they'd be, too lazy to look right now.) -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.130|132.183.151.130]] 22:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

== Gaps ==

I know that there's gaps noted, and how sometimes its noted on the site, like with the [[LELLOWTAPE]] in [[redesign]]. But should it be noted about the beginning of hremail 3184 where strong bad finishes off homestar's hremail to start his new email, and saying that he's coming out of e-tirement? its me, crudely drawn cupcake, it can't sign in.--[[Special:Contributions/173.71.176.27|173.71.176.27]] 20:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== sbemail201 > hremail3184 ==

hremal3184 should be taken over 201, as sbemail201 isn't a file. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 14:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Hremails too! ==
I think Hremails count as sbemails too, so that means there have been 205 emails so far, not 202. So can we please put hremails on this page? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
:No, hremails are hremails, sbemails are sbemails, and neither are the same. ('cept for hremail3184, but...) USER: Sbemail Checker Dan

== Premature Era? ==

Does anyone think it's premature to call this the "Corpy Era?" He's only used it for one email. We don't have, like, Pom Pilot and Tangerine Dreams eras. We don't yet know whether Stro Bro will continue to use this computer as his main email-checking hardware. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.54|132.183.140.54]] 19:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

::No, this isn't a forum question. Why on Earth would you think so?! Anyway, it's an interesting question. [[the bird]] clearly took place between two Tandy emails, as did [[weird dream]]. But is this a Lappy-era email? An ''[insert computer here]''-era email? Hard to say at this point. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
:::If Strong Bad checks at least two more emails on the Corpy, I guess we'll call that an era, albeit a very small one. But what if he gets a new computer in the next email? I guess it would then be best to call [[imaginary]] a Lappy-era email, since the ''[insert computer here]''-era should probably start with the email in which ''[insert computer here]'' is introduced.

::::I think given the limited info available, what we have is fine for now.

::::::::what about tangerine dreams? we should make tandy and broken tandy seperate eras and the email weird dream a transition like imaginary.
:::::::::I think the reason why we're making a whole different section for the Corpy is because it's a whole different computer that had its own menu, not just a "broken" version of one computer. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 15:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::but, the broken tandy had it's own menu also, and strong bad checked weird dream on the cheat's computer for the same reason he checked imaginary on the corpy: because his home computer broke.
I'd like to renew this discussion, mainly because it looks odd to have a one-email-long section. To avoid repeating myself, I'll instead direct you my comments above beginning "If the Corpy turns out to be a one-off interim computer". (Which it did.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:What Dot com suggests makes sense. Originally, I didn't mind the section by itself since the Corpy had its own menu. However, looking back, a menu by itself shouldn't represent an "[[Wikipedia:Era|era]]", not even a mini-era. That said, I do think we do need some section clearly listing which emails were done on non-era machines. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::It's clearly after the lappy era though. that's why it doesn't fit in the lappy menu; it was never on that menu. and the email came out before strong bad even knew about the compé, so it was clearly before the compé era. do y'all have a problem with the word "transition"? it's used there to mean that it isn't an era at all. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Okay, that's one of the questions we need to answer. What is an era? Why is it useful to split the emails into eras? (Note that it {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Strong_Bad_Email&oldid=289450 hasn't always been that way}}.) Depending on the definition, is it possible to have an email that belongs to no era? Do the aesthetics of not having an email by itself come into play at all? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I think to answer these questions we need to look at why they were created in the first place and its [[Talk:Strong_Bad_Email/Archive_3#Era_labels|accompanying discussion]]. They were first made for aesthetic and organizational reasons, letting us better manage the growing list of emails. The nomenclature seemed to be, at first, an afterthought, and only with time has it evolved into the serious business that it is. I think we should, in this case, prioritize organization and aesthetics, and if our lists don't overlap eras, then they should just be marked as such or noted somewhere. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that we should have a section further down the page called "Transition eras". This is were we not only list the Corpy email, but the pom pilot and tangerine dreams email as well. Any one else share this thought? [[User:Origonalname|Origonalname]] 20:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::Without further qualification (for instance, [[imaginary]] being listed as a Lappy or Compé email on the top), I'm afraid I cannot agree with that idea. The emails should remain in order. Besides, [[the bird]] is ''not'' a transition email (it's arguable that [[weird dream]] can be considered one, but not [[the bird]]. While we're on the subject, [[from work]], which was also on the Corpy, wasn't a transition either.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::If we have an era for the Corpy, just because it had it's own menu, then why don't we have an era for the broken Tandy? And why don't we have an era for when the Tandy was broken, and the menu was on a piece of paper? that makes about as much sense as making a whole era just for a transition computer. But maybe Jay is right about the bird. But i'm still not convinced that the Corpy era makes sense.

== Flinger's Menu ==

Starting at this email ([[imaginary]]), the sbemails page doesn't say Denny's Menu --[[User:Smahksilae|Smahksilae]] 03:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== SBEmails? ==

Why does everyone think that Arcade Game, Puppet Time, Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag, Superbowl Dealie, and Rotten Eggs are sbemails? Half of them don't even mention the word "email" in them (NO, "SBEMAIL NEXT WEEK" OR "DUE TO THE SUPERBOWL, THE SBEMAIL WILL BE LATE THIS WEEK" DOES NOT COUNT). Just because the Compy appears doesn't mean it's an email. The NQSBEMails should only be ones that mention Strong Bad checking an email (Weclome Back, for example), ones that are a teaser for a milestone (Not The 100th Sbemail, SBEmail 150?!?), or ones that have an actual email and he answers it (SBCG4AP and Sick Day). -[[USER: SBE-MAIL CHECKER DAN]] 9:58 AM, July 23rd, 2009
:Yes, but those cartoons are different from regular "Shorts" in the way that they are made to show that there will be a new Sbemail soon. For example, you don't see a notice after most of the regular cartoons saying "Holiday Toon next week" or something close to that. Because they can't be grouped like the normal cartoons, they're grouped as NQSbemails. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 15:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Dan: That's not what our definition of Not Quite Strong Bad Emails is (emphasis on the "Not Quite"). The only thing that matters is that each of these shorts "were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails". That's it. Sure, some of them fill in gaps between emails while others were just notes stuck on the Compy's screen, but they all meet the minimum criterion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

== The Widescreen Dilemma ==

The lappy screen measures about 5:8 ratio. The Compe (using linux, no ALT Shortcuts) screen measures about 14:25 ratio. The compe is obviously widescreen, but, I believe the lappy is clearly not widescreen. Meaning that if the compe is actually used, it will be the first computer for strong bad that is widescreen. Should this be noted here or on the compe page? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 00:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
:Probably the Compe (no numpad) page, but let's wait until (if?) he uses it if we do mention it. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 01:01, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

== compe menu (i forget the alt shortcut) ==

is there a way to remove that black border around the green?

== Compe styled era box? ==

I just [[User:ColdReactive/sandbox|made this]], how's it look? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:Great, you just might want to lessen the width of the border, and check it with the CSS of the Lappy style:
<pre>
#bodyContent blockquote.email, #article blockquote.email, #mw_contentholder blockquote.email {
border: 4px solid #cc9;
background: #000;
background-image: url(/skins/common/images/emailbackground.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom right;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 1em;
font-family: courier new, monospace;
width: 500px;
}
</pre>

The Strong Bad head width could be changed a bit. Can't really take a look at the code right now, but make sure you're using <code><nowiki><blockquote></nowiki></code>. You may want to make another version that looks like the email client as well, since we will probably use that one and the one you've already made. Got to get back to the transcript. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not using a block quote (I AM using a block quote around the autocolumn though as per normal), I'm using a custom DIV for the strong bad head because blockquotes won't fit nicely above/inside the grass area. I edited it more to tone down on that big black border. I added a more transparent PNG of SB's head, and I explained about the minimum size of the era box. I have now also added a transcript box for the compe. Please take a look at it as well. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
::The transcript version is nice! I would change the <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> that holds the message into a <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, with a CSS <code>display:block;</code> property and a <code>padding:4px;</code> property, remove the nesting, and it's good to go. The <code>background:transparent;</code> properties should be rid of as they are of no use. The fact that we're using divs to substitute for the double-line bottom border doesn't feel right with me, but right now I can't think of anything better.

If they actually officially ''announce'' that they're over with the Sbemails, then I think it'll certainly be notable to post. However, what they said on the commentary may ''or'' may not be true, considering that TBC are rather evil in that they like to mess with our heads all the time. As such, it isn't notable enough to be put on the page.

== pop culture satire? ==

In the intro we list 3 emails that satirize pop culture, japanese cartoon, action figure, and isp. The anime satire's pretty solid, but I dunno how prominent action figures and bandwidth are in current pop culture. Should we consider replacing those examples with ones that satirize even more prominent aspects of pop culture?

:::If Strong Bad checks at least two more emails on the Corpy, I guess we'll call that an era, albeit a very small one. But what if he gets a new computer in the next email?

:::Okay, that's one of the questions we need to answer. What is an era? Why is it useful to split the emails into eras?

Do the aesthetics of not having an email by itself come into play at all? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I think to answer these questions we need to look at why they were created in the first place and its [[Talk:Strong_Bad_Email/Archive_3#Era_labels|accompanying discussion]]. They were first made for aesthetic and organizational reasons, letting us better manage the growing list of emails. The nomenclature seemed to be, at first, an afterthought, and only with time has it evolved into the serious business that it is. I think we should, in this case, prioritize organization and aesthetics, and if our lists don't overlap eras, then they should just be marked as such or noted somewhere. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

::::::Without further qualification (for instance, [[imaginary]] being listed as a Lappy or Compé email on the top), I'm afraid I cannot agree with that idea. The emails should remain in order. Besides, [[the bird]] is ''not'' a transition email (it's arguable that [[weird dream]] can be considered one, but not [[the bird]]. While we're on the subject, [[from work]], which was also on the Corpy, wasn't a transition either.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::If we have an era for the Corpy, just because it had it's own menu, then why don't we have an era for the broken Tandy? And why don't we have an era for when the Tandy was broken, and the menu was on a piece of paper? that makes about as much sense as making a whole era just for a transition computer. But maybe Jay is right about the bird. But i'm still not convinced that the Corpy era makes sense.

Why does everyone think that Arcade Game, Puppet Time, Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag, Superbowl Dealie, and Rotten Eggs are sbemails? Half of them don't even mention the word "email" in them (NO, "SBEMAIL NEXT WEEK" OR "DUE TO THE SUPERBOWL, THE SBEMAIL WILL BE LATE THIS WEEK" DOES NOT COUNT). Just because the Compy appears doesn't mean it's an email. The NQSBEMails should only be ones that mention Strong Bad checking an email (Weclome Back, for example), ones that are a teaser for a milestone (Not The 100th Sbemail, SBEmail 150?!?), or ones that have an actual email and he answers it (SBCG4AP and Sick Day). -[[USER: SBE-MAIL CHECKER DAN]] 9:58 AM, July 23rd, 2009
:Yes, but those cartoons are different from regular "Shorts" in the way that they are made to show that there will be a new Sbemail soon. For example, you don't see a notice after most of the regular cartoons saying "Holiday Toon next week" or something close to that. Because they can't be grouped like the normal cartoons, they're grouped as NQSbemails. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 15:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Dan: That's not what our definition of Not Quite Strong Bad Emails is (emphasis on the "Not Quite"). The only thing that matters is that each of these shorts "were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails". That's it.

== The Widescreen Dilemma ==

The lappy screen measures about 5:8 ratio. The Compe (using linux, no ALT Shortcuts) screen measures about 14:25 ratio. The compe is obviously widescreen, but, I believe the lappy is clearly not widescreen. Meaning that if the compe is actually used, it will be the first computer for strong bad that is widescreen. Should this be noted here or on the compe page? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 00:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I just [[User:ColdReactive/sandbox|made this]], how's it look? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:Great, you just might want to lessen the width of the border, and check it with the CSS of the Lappy style:
<pre>
#bodyContent blockquote.email, #article blockquote.email, #mw_contentholder blockquote.email {
border: 4px solid #cc9;
background: #000;
background-image: url(/skins/common/images/emailbackground.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom right;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 1em;
font-family: courier new, monospace;
width: 500px;
}
</pre>

The Strong Bad head width could be changed a bit. Can't really take a look at the code right now, but make sure you're using <code><nowiki><blockquote></nowiki></code>. You may want to make another version that looks like the email client as well, since we will probably use that one and the one you've already made. Got to get back to the transcript. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not using a block quote (I AM using a block quote around the autocolumn though as per normal), I'm using a custom DIV for the strong bad head because blockquotes won't fit nicely above/inside the grass area. I edited it more to tone down on that big black border. I added a more transparent PNG of SB's head, and I explained about the minimum size of the era box. I have now also added a transcript box for the compe. Please take a look at it as well. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I would change the <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> that holds the message into a <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, with a CSS <code>display:block;</code> property and a <code>padding:4px;</code> property, remove the nesting, and it's good to go. The <code>background:transparent;</code> properties should be rid of as they are of no use.

Abcorn: changed random.bat to go rando!

This page contains the sources of various XML files found in [[homestarrunner.com]]. This page is part of the collection of [[site components]].

== [[Weeklies]] XML File ==

This file specifies some things about the [[Weeklies]] that appear at the top of the main pages. For the [[Quote of the Week]], the quote itself and which character's picture is displayed is defined in this file. The captions are defined for the [[Fanstuff]] and [[Sketchbook]], but the actual images used are specified elsewhere.

<pre id="weeklies.xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<sketchbook>homespittles</sketchbook>
<fanstuff>a mary alice original</fanstuff>
<qod character="coachz" filename="cz_lillubbers.mp3">I think there's a Blubb-O's Li'l Lubber's meal rattlin around up there somewhere.</qod>


</pre>

*[[HR:weeklies/weeklies.xml|Weeklies XML]]

== [[Random Toon]] XML File ==

This lists toons on the site, from which one is selected at random when a user clicks the ''R'' button along the top of the main page, the ''rando'' link in the bottom navigation bar, or ''go rando!'' in the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu (only the emails are used in this instance). The file specifies the caption shown in the random pop-up, and the actual file to load.

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
''{Strong Bad is at the Compé, this time with a Where's An Egg? II wallpaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, people can you feel me? To e-mail me? Also, please don't try to really feel me? ''{double-clicks on the strongabad_email.exe icon}''

{{compeemail|1=
Dear Strong Bad, 
You are the superest, awesomest guy ever. That 
makes you sawesome. Do you have a Strong Badian 
dictionary fo your own words? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Costrick
}}
''{"fo" is pronounced as written. Strong Bad hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Course I do Cross-stitch. ''{rapping}'' You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis? Those dictionaries are only good for helping ''{cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth}'' The Cheat brush his teeth ''{cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right}'' and helping Homestar lose his teeth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

''{Strong Bad throws the dictionary at Homestar's head}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Tooth! ''{a giant tooth flies out of Homestar's mouth and lands on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, ''{cut to a close up of the book}'' ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!''

''{Strong Bad puts a [[sticky note]] on the book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Or ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth'', for short.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert ''{cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background}'' at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, that looks sinfully—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together—

''{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' which makes for way less words!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!

''{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that brings us to the Suffix section. ''{each "suffix" is highlighted in turn}'' -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!

''{Cut to a sample from the book}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{smoothly}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.

''{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that's'' talking like a Strong Bad dude!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you going to define a word like ''{cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's}'' paunch, without smelling ''{Strong Bad puts a stick with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!"}'' Strong Sad considerable paunch!

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad slaps his body to punctuate the last words}''

''{Cut to all the main characters gathered on The Stage}''

'''ALL:''' Yes it does!

''{Crowd claps and the curtain closes}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it ''{Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa" and "Kneepads". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterences" is revealed, followed by a buzzer}'' gutterences ''{cut back to the Compé}'' that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people.

''{Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{tattered piece of paper comes down}'' for Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the field?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the background changes to Marzipan with Carol and a microphone singing around the fences}'' for Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{amplified}'' Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{scene shift again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop.

''{Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. ''{quickly}'' Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. ''{normally}'' Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if ''someone'' can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Give him the goods, Compé...-per.

''{Strong Bad gets up, making [[The Geddup Noise]], and the [[Compé-per]] appears. Crossfades to a dictionary page entitled "Today's Entries".}''

'''Running Time:''' 3:48

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
''{Strong Bad is at the Compé, this time with a Where's An Egg? II wallpaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, people can you feel me? To e-mail me? Also, please don't try to really feel me? ''{double-clicks on the strongabad_email.exe icon}''

{{compeemail|1=
Dear Strong Bad, 
You are the superest, awesomest guy ever. That 
makes you sawesome. Do you have a Strong Badian 
dictionary fo your own words? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Costrick
}}
''{"fo" is pronounced as written. Strong Bad hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Course I do Cross-stitch. ''{rapping}'' You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis? Those dictionaries are only good for helping ''{cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth}'' The Cheat brush his teeth ''{cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right}'' and helping Homestar lose his teeth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

''{Strong Bad throws the dictionary at Homestar's head}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Tooth! ''{a giant tooth flies out of Homestar's mouth and lands on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, ''{cut to a close up of the book}'' ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!''

''{Strong Bad puts a [[sticky note]] on the book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Or ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth'', for short.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert ''{cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background}'' at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, that looks sinfully—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together—

''{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' which makes for way less words!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!

''{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that brings us to the Suffix section. ''{each "suffix" is highlighted in turn}'' -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!

''{Cut to a sample from the book}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{smoothly}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.

''{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that's'' talking like a Strong Bad dude!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you going to define a word like ''{cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's}'' paunch, without smelling ''{Strong Bad puts a stick with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!"}'' Strong Sad considerable paunch!

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad slaps his body to punctuate the last words}''

''{Cut to all the main characters gathered on The Stage}''

'''ALL:''' Yes it does!

''{Crowd claps and the curtain closes}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it ''{Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa" and "Kneepads". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterences" is revealed, followed by a buzzer}'' gutterences ''{cut back to the Compé}'' that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people.

''{Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{tattered piece of paper comes down}'' for Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the field?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the background changes to Marzipan with Carol and a microphone singing around the fences}'' for Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{amplified}'' Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{scene shift again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop.

''{Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. ''{quickly}'' Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. ''{normally}'' Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if ''someone'' can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Give him the goods, Compé...-per.

''{Strong Bad gets up, making [[The Geddup Noise]], and the [[Compé-per]] appears. Crossfades to a dictionary page entitled "Today's Entries".}''

Strong Sad's Secret Styles

Abcorn — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:48:57 GMT

Abcorn: Added the DNA evidence

[[Image:strong sad secrets that i keep.PNG|thumb|Secrets everywhere...]]

[[Strong Sad]] keeps a box of memories under his bed. Inside the box are five objects: a film reel, a snow globe, a framed picture, his green DNA Evidence in a test tube, and a homemade birthday card written by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] to [[Lil' Strong Sad]]. Below are descriptions of the four items. This page is found in a link from the user profile on [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}} (Easter Egg)

== Contents and Transcript ==
=== Happy Birth<strike>b</strike>day Kard ===
<blockquote>poop-hea<strike>b</strike>d, 
mom says I 
have to make 
you this 
:kard 
-Strong Bab 
 
p.s. i'm going 
to punsh you 
in the back!!</blockquote>

=== The Film Reel ===

''{Lil' Strong Sad standing around outside in autumn with a scarf on. He waves to the camera. Lil' Strong Bad jumps out of a pile of leaves and chases Little Strong Sad. Zooms in on their heads, Strong Bad jumps on top of Strong Sad and starts giving him a noogie. They both start laughing. The film repeats.}''

=== Snow Globe ===
The snow globe contains a pink-haired [[Wikipedia:Troll doll|troll doll]] standing on a snowy tropical island. The snow globe is labeled "You're Number 1."

=== Picture ===
Strong Bad and Strong Sad as kids in a picture.

=== DNA Evidence ===
His green DNA Evidence as seen in the cartoon [[DNA Evidence]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The box is labeled "fond reminiscences".
*The [[Spooky Woods|tree]] in the movie is used in the Halloween toons.
*Originally, this could only be accessed by emailing Strong Sad (depressio@homestarrunner.com). Strong Sad would reply with the link, regardless of what one's email read. To access it now, you need to go to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], click on his profile, and click on the word "none" in the pop-up that appears.
*This page came out later as an Easter egg in the DVD version of [[depressio]].

===Remarks===
*This shows that Strong Bad may have once been nice to Strong Sad.
*Strong Sad has a belly button in the video and picture, telling us that this took place after Little Strong Bad got his electric drill (as seen in [[origins]]).
*Using the Tab key, it is possible to open up more than one thing at a time. The snowglobe is always on top of the card and the picture, and the card always ends up on top of the picture. The movie is on top of them all. When the snowglobe is open (along with other objects) and the movie is opened, it covers up the snowglobe. When the movie is closed, the snowglobe disappears, even though the other objects are still there.
*The back button simply closes the Easter Egg page. If the page is accessed directly, the button does not work.

===Inside References===
*The snow globe could be a reference to the commentary from the [[In Search of the Yello Dello|Yello Dello DVD]], where Strong Sad mentions when he wore an old T-shirt at [[school]] that said "I'm #1."

===Real-World References===
*The shirt that Strong Sad is wearing in the photo is the same one worn by [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]].
*The vest that Strong Bad wears is the same one worn by Marty McFly in [[Back to the Future]].
*The URL of the site is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:The Wonder Years|The Wonder Years]]'', a well-known late 1980s–early '90s coming-of-age TV show starring Fred Savage and Danica McKellar.
*The name of this cartoon is a probable reference to the chorus of the 1980s-era song by [[Wikipedia:The Romantics|The Romantics]], "[[Wikipedia:Talking in Your Sleep (The Romantics song)|Talking in Your Sleep]]," which has the lyrics:<blockquote>''I hear the secrets that you keep When you're talkin' in your sleep''</blockquote>
*The name for the Flash file of the movie reel is super8.swf. [[Wikipedia:Super 8 mm film|Super 8]] is a film format created in 1960 and released 1965 by Kodak.

===Fast Forward===

*It is revealed that Strong Sad keeps his [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]] in the very same box in [[DNA Evidence]].
*Li'l Strong Sad is later seen wearing his Charlie Brown shirt in [[the paper]].
