== Leaving? ==
For ''five days''? That's impossible! I won't be able to waste my time talking about mocha muffins anymore! Whhhhhhyyyy?!?! — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Mocha muffins? What?[[User:SPONGE 001|SPONGE 001]] 21:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Where do you get this stuff?[[User:SPONGE 001|SPONGE 001]] 21:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

:Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Oh wait, I am back. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

:What the heck is this place about?
Where are all the pictures of fireworks?

::See [[HRWiki:About]]. And, we don't have pictures of fireworks because they are irrelevant to the wiki's purpose. Happy wiki-ing! {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 16:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

==Sockpuppets==
I think someone is creating sockpuppets. Look at the recent changes.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 22:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

== Songs ==

I noticed you used the "originals" Email portion of the [[Songs]] page for your list, but did you want to include the "partly by" and the "not by" songs as well? (Someone added "different town" which isn't entirely by TBC, which is why it wasn't listed with the others.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

:Umm, no. Sorry. Lemme fix that the lazy way. ;-> {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 00:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

:::'''EDIT:'''Yes, sorry to have to do it "the lazy way", but, as you can see from recent changes, I'm finishing a stub.

I de-linked, but I guess I'm not sure. Is the file d/l'ed from H*R or from the book's website? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

:H*R. I downloaded it long before I got this book. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 03:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

==Leaving factor ==
A quote from JoeyDay:

<blockquote>:::To all those who are talking about leaving, I'm deeply saddened that you would jump ship without really giving this a chance. I don't know how many of you were around when we first switched away from 'Tavi to MediaWiki, but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park then, either. Everybody had to log in about five times before they could edit pages, and we were listed on Google as "Uncle Hamstring's Barn Yard Animals" for about three months until Google's algorithm caught up with our new format. I promise if you'll all be patient, we'll have this new system looking like the old layout in no time at all. I think we could have everything back to normal by, say, September at the latest. In the meantime, it would be really helpful if everyone could stay calm. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)</blockquote>

I'm sure this will either bring you back, or make you guilty about being so defiant. Either way, I win, and either way, you lose. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, it was a secret plan to hopefully make some users so guilty that they admit it's a prank. But, it is 'Tavi. The MediaWiki namespace is my favorite feature. Gee, imagine a namespace about a group of what you might call competitors! {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 20:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Email ==

Hi, Bluebry. Do you check your email? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:I retract whatever I said. Ima change email adresses after this. (No, I haven't seen your email). {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 21:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

::Okay, after seeing your email, I believe you now. I mean, that's a much better description of what I've seen here so far. Thanks! {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 21:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== So?! ==
I ''cannot believe'' you would run away like that ''just'' because you wanted to make people feel guilty. It was just a joke, anyway. But still, why give up like that? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:It's more than that. 1) I was watching Recent Changes the entire time. 2) It was a plan to make the people who did the prank admit it was a prank. When they didn't, I got worried. I wondered if they were right. Then I recieved FireBird's email. That would be the end of that story. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::Ah. So FireBird emailed you saying that it was all just a joke, but that you shouldn't ruin it for everybody else? I see. Y'know, for everyone who thought it was a prank, I'mm surprised. It was easy to see through, but I trusted every excuse the sysops said. It was amazing how much I was fooled. But it'd have been so much better if people didn't tell everyone it was a prank. That's ruining the entire thing. I myself was not entirely fooled. After all, YK spilled all the secrets on IRC. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:::I agree with that, actually. It's kinda like one of those mob-psychology things. When one person does it in a large group, the others start. If other users hadn't pointed out things, I would have been fooled too. But, yeah, I would've liked it better if we both never knew... {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm glad, though, that for the most part I was completely fooled. After all, YK was on IRC telling me the whole thing about 5 minutes before twelve. There's not much that I missed, and I was completely fooled all day. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:::::No offence to anyone who did it, but, it did cause some damage. Now I gotta find all of my monobook skins that I created to make the site look like MediaWiki. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== leave ==

Are you still leaving? --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:No. That was both a prank and plan. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 15:54, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== Still use Mozilla Suite? ==

[[Wikipedia:SeaMonkey|SeaMonkey]] is out at 1.0. I highly recommend the upgrade. But then, I upgraded initially to 1.0Alpha, and it was so buggy I couldn't even uninstall it properly and had to delete ut manually. The release version is a lot more stable. Geez, I sound like one of those hardcore Firefox evangelists. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:Hey now brotha, I said you brotha, you in your sin, hallelujah, what do you got—''I said'' what do you ''got'' against "hardcore Firefox evangelists"? (''Can'' I get a witness this blessed morning?) Now you ''know'' the day of judgement is coming, brothas an' sistas, I said the ''day'' of judgement, glorytoGod, the day of FIRE! and of WRATH! upon all the users of the Infernal Evil versions 5.0 and higha! And it is written, beloved I say it is ''written'' in the Good Book, that on that day they shall ''caalll'' upon their OS-integrated iniquities and—praise God's blessed name this morning—their OS shall not answer them! It is ''written'', children, that on that day they shall ''cryyy'' to their source to open to them! and they shall ''fall'' on their ''faces'' before their developers, but brothas and sistas I'm here to tell you this morning that their prayers shall not avail!! I said their ''tears'' and their ''cries'' shall be of no ''use'', beloved! because ''they did not know'' their developers! They didn't know their ''names''! '''Come on''' an' let me hear an amen! And beloved it is in that day—I said it is ''in'' that ''day'', brothasandsistas, that the children of FireFox will ''inherit the earth''!! Because it will be the ''DAY''!!! I said a day of ''judgement'', halleluja! A day of ''FIRE'', halleluja! And O beloved, a day, a day of ''FOX''!!! And that day is ''coming'' Isaiditis coming ''soon''!! Brothasandsistas, I ''stand'' before you this fine morning and I ''testify''—Isaid I ''testify''! (comeon!)—by the Fire o' the Fox—that ''on'' that ''day'' WE WILL NOT SLUMBER halleluja! WE WILL NOT FALTER halleluha! Anbrothasansistas WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN because it is WRITTEN—Lord, lord—'''I said''' it is WRITTEN brothasansistas that the '''GATES''' of '''hell''' will not '''PREVAIL''' against those whom the Fox has chosen!!!! Now '''can''' I get an '''amen''' this mornin'? ''{drowned out in cheering}'' —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

:::...speak the truth? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:22, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

::::Actually, I have nothing against Firefox specifically, it's just the shove it in your face, borderline trolling approach I've seen some of them use. You'd think this was religion they were talking about. But, let me add something to my first comment: I just upgraded to 1.0.1, and thanks to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324081 bug 324081], I wouldn't recommend it to ''anybody''. I'm seriously considering downgrading back to 1.0. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 00:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::Yeah, and Abdi? You don't have to preach to ''me'' I've been a Firefox user for a VERY long time. I use Mozilla for my IRC needs. And, yeah ACupOfCoffee, thank you for the warning. But, does it load any faster on slower computers? Because I know Firefox and Mozilla Suite [[Moving Very Slowly|load VERY slowly]] on mine. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

::::::How slow are we talking? Firefox ran fine on my parents' old 128k Pentium 3 machine. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Well, instead of giving you specs ('bout 256mb RAM, 240mb Hard disk, Intel Celeron Prosessor, proboscis,), it loads in about 5 minutes. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

::::::::That should be plenty good. Wait — when my sister complais to me about IE loading too slowly, I figured out she really means that pages load too slowly (but that's because my folks still have dial-up). Is that it? If not, maybe your disk needs to be defragged? (dfrg.msc in Win 2K and XP, defrag in 98, ME) Using an old version? The current Firefox is 1.5.0.2. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}}

::::::::Yeah, so I tried Seamonkey, and I find that Mozilla suite lodes significally faster. BTW, it's 10 to 20 mins to load Firefox, not 5. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 19:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

== 1984 Thing ==

I'm sorry about that. I accidentally made that page while trying to make a wiki link to my contribution to the "disconnected" page (which also turned out to be unneccesary). I still can't quite get the hang of wiki (it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to respond to your message. I Think this is right. If not I am dumber than I thought) Sorry again.

==About That...==
I appreciate the fact that you're giving me all this advice, and I certainly couldn't have done any of this without some of your help. But...my computer will only save it as a .jpg and it won't let me change from .jpg to .png on the file upload screen. Eventually I'll get it, though.

Bluebry, I think the original image of the [[EEV1]] menu was JPG'd because the PNG version is more than 7 times larger of a file. We try to keep more "real life" images jpegs for the reason of keeping the file size down. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 06:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

:::Here's a good stumper: A mother is 21 years older than her son. In 6 years, she will be 5 times older than him.

:::Where is the father? {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 01:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

::::...Grocery shopping? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

::::::...Because of the monsters in the dairy section? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, since the mother is 21 years older than the son... <math>a_m = a_s +21</math>

6 years from now <math> 5a_s = a_m</math>

therefore

<math>5a_s = a_s + 21</math>      →       <math>4a_s = 21</math>    →     <math>a_s = \frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}</math>

since in 6 years the son will be <math>5 \frac{1}{4} years\ old</math>, right now he is <math> \frac{-3}{4} years\ old = -9 months\ old</math>.

So if the son is <math>-9 months\ old</math> the father is um....'''really really''' close to the mother, overlapping even...and definitely not grocery shopping. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 05:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

:....Right...So, I now assume he's not grocery shopping. Unless it's a '''''really''''' weird grocery store. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 02:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

Quite a few edit summaries of yours today include or consist entirely of a strange word "ylper". I'm not sure what it means, making those edit summaries kinda indecipherable. Of course, I'm old and uncool, so it may be something all the rest of you know. So what up with the "ylper"? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

*Hey, I'm thinking about creating a new page, but I don't know what to call it and I don't know all of its info. The page will be about interuppted names Strong Bad usually starts sounding out before getting interrupted by someone. Such as in [[bottom 10]]: He says, "and the number one spot in my bottom 10 is... Th--" and then gets interrupted. Please help out. I am sending this to all sysops. And, frick! I'm sorry about that on your userpage. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

:Hmmm...maybe...'''Strong Bad Interrupted'''? However, when making a new page, I'd watch out. Make sure what you're going to write isn't already mentionedon such pages as [[Interrupted Conversations]] or [[Strong Sad]]. Why Strong Sad? Because EVERYBODY loves Strong Sad! Anyways, yeah. That's my suggestion. And frick, it's okay. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
::I need some help gathering all of the appearances of it. hmm. Thanks, though. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} And frick, It's frack.
:::Well, the BEST way to do it is to work as hard as possible finding appearances, and make the page. If you KNOW there are more appearances out there, but just can't find any, label the page with <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> at the bottom. We won't blame you for trying. Then, someone who ''can'' find the ones you couldn't... will just put them on there! Best idea I can think of... But the only TRUE way to search through it all and find all of them would be SB's Filmography category (NO LINK'd!), which is about 300 cartoons (right?), and I would NOT suggest doing that.

Hi, Bluebry. Thanks for the info, I had no idea my image was too big. Judging by the sigbox size, I'm assuming that images must be 20 pixels tall or shorter.

==Kingdom Hearts II ==

In Kingdom Hearts II, when fighting the Hydra, there is a reaction command called Urninator. This is only one letter off from Burninator. Think I should add it?
- Zyborg 4/13/06
(Edit: The strategy guide said Everybody to the Limit, not the manual. Although, the strategy guide is most likely official. I'll add the Urninator to the page, delete if necessary.)

I checked Amazon for strategy guides for Kingdom Hearts II. I found out that the guide is made by BradyGames, not Square Enix(the company that makes KH2). The Everybody to the Limit reference in the strategy guide should really go under books instead.

Though I think the Urninator reference might be legit. The Hydra ''is'' a dragon, just like ol' Troggie.
:[[Other Sightings]], then. We don't have a "books" section. Maybe magazines? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Killer7 ==

*I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is NOT a reference; seeing as Gouichi Suda has an obsession with lucha libre in general, it's not surprising that Yoon-Hyun's mask looks like Strong Bad's. It's a coincidence. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Fully Ramblomatic ==

Two of the games on this site have obvious H*R refernces. First off, Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment has one of them. About a third of the way through the game, one of your redshirts is zapped by a lazer security system thing and says, "Ow! My most of me!"

Secondly, the special edition of 7 Days a Skeptic. If you go to the captain's console and type in 'Pasta Sauce', it shows a "How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves" email. Remember, this is the special edition and does not work with the normal one.

== Alchmist's Apprentice ==

There's a new online game called [http://fizzlebot.com/gdc1/cgdc1.php?puzzleID=7 Alchemist's Apprentice] that has an item called "whatsit" described thusly: "This soft, sticky, stinky substance is an excellent fertilizer and chief projectile weapon of simians."

I've never heard reference to "whatsit" outside of HomestarRunner.com, but I could be wrong, and I don't know how to properly edit this page. Is this a reference?
*Well, I've certainly never heard of "whatsit" describing excrement outside of H*R, and the quote certainly suggests that meaning. Searching Wikipedia for "whatsit" brings you to a disambiguation page that doesn't mention that definition, so I'd say it's a reference. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 02:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, if you notice, the first level is called "Date Night" Which might be a refrence to the H*R cartoon of the same name [[date night|This'n]]. but that might be a stretch.

== Full Auto 2 versions ==

I added the reference for Full Auto 2, but I can only be sure that it's in the PSP version. I know the PSP and PS3 versions of the game are very different, so I specified which version. Is it in both versions? -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 02:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
== Baleeted ==

Two things:

-I added the Crackdown Double Deuce thing.
-I deleted the Dead or Alive 4 thing. Why? Because that was the signature of whoever this person was fighting at the time.

(However, that ''is'' a nice find)

== Sam & Max ==

about a month back I've added a refrence to Sam & Max Ep.5, see
http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Game_Sightings&oldid=442179#Sam_.26_Max:_Reality_2.0
This however was removed by user Shwoo stating "it might be a coinicidence".
I did not wan't to spoil too much of the game, so I didn't go into specifics, but in fact the "character" which I quoted was, in fact an Arcade machine, which I think strengthens the fact that this is a refrence to the site.
On a side note, the whole episode is Internet/computer/Video game centric, filled with references such as "It's-a me, Sam!" and so.
Please reconsider adding it to the sightings section. [[User:84.108.73.241|84.108.73.241]] 18:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:I've looked at it and have concluded that it's not a valid reference. It says "Your goggles explode! Game Over!", but the reason why I feel it isn't a reference is because a) it's grammatically correct, unlike "Your head a splode", and b) if it really was a reference, it would have been "a splode", not "explode". {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== Does Postal 2 count? ==

I am not cautious due to the extremely offensive nature of the game, but rather because the Homestar Runner references are only included in a fanmade expansion mod. However, the publisher of the game has included this mod in a commercial compilation. Would this be eligible for inclusion?

:Personally, I don't think so. This strikes me as a page for references by full-time developers, not people who love a game and have a bit of programming skill. I could personally mod a game and release it, but I doubt it'd be included here. But that's just my personal opinion, I feel it ought to get approval or disproval from someone higher thought of here.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 12:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Portal ==

Valve's game of Portal, recently released, contains, in the room of the final fight (on the left when you enter the room), there is a red telephone. The receiver is disconnected, about 2 inches from the receiver itself, almost exactly like the phones in the H*R universe. I can upload a picture of it to my personal site if you want to see it. Not entirely sure if it really is a reference, but it certainly struck me as one, hence the discussion before inclusion.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 11:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:I really doubt its a reference. The phone cord is cut for plot reasons. (I won't give away those plot reasons right now, but I can if necessary.) -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 12:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
::Yeah, I see that. Also, I was thinking it was because of technological reasons, ie, the HL2 engine. Since you could pick up the receiver, the cord would be incredibly inconvenient to program in. Again, that's why I put it in discussion rather than on the page. But, it's still possible, and only the people at Valve can tell us for sure.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 13:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Red Steel ==

In the Wii game Red Steel, when you enter a name, all of the lowercase letters look like a smaller-font uppercase letter -- except for the I, which gets a dot. Reference to the way it's written on H*R?--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] (Not logged in)

== StargateWars ==

A result of a battle in StargateWars, an MMORPG, can be that you burninated the enemy. Is this a reference? If it is, it should be added.

== Halo-star Runner? ==
Uh... about the recent [[Game Sightings#Halo|Halo]] reference, is this notable? If my research is correct, Halo came out in 2001, which was probably before the character videos were made. Maybe H*R is instead referencing Halo-or its just a coincidence. Thoughts? Guys? Grapity? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

== 1942 Joint Strike ==

I don't know... Is the quote "shoot-em-up" good enough? I got the demo for the game, and a short info blip it forces you to read at the beginning says:

"The popular 80's arcade franchise is back! 1948 Joint Strike combines classic '''shoot-em-up''' gameplay with 3D HD graphics. Rejoin the battle" (Bold text not form quoted text; used to show reffrence)

-[[User: Ben Again|Ben Again]]

:Way too common of a phrase. It even has it's own [[Wikipedia:Shoot_'em_up|wikipedia]] entry. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

== It's not a reference (Animal Crossing) ==

Just because a neighbour's name is Pom Pom doesn't mean it's a reference. Someone being named something unusual, like Coach Zee, or Homsar or Senor Cardgage would be a reference. By that logic, maybe we should make a "Real Life Sightings" and say that the things that cheerleaders use are called pom poms. And then we should say that them being called "cheerleaders" is a reference to Teen Girl Squad. And just tacking "'D!" onto the end of something isn't a reference. This needs to be changed.

Edit was removed because "Banjo-Tooie predates Homestar Runner's rise to fame." In fact, Banjo-Tooie was released in North America eleven months and some days after the launching of the homestarrunner.com. More than a year for Europe.
:They don't release a game the moment it's done though. Besides, it predates Homestar Runner's ''rise to fame''.

== You do not have permission to do that ==

When I click "View Source" on a protected page, I get the message "You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason" ... I don't find the word "that" particularly appropriate. Is it saying that I don't have permission to view source? That can't be it, since it is showing me the source. So, I think the message should be changed to "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason" ... unless there are some other contexts in which the words "edit this page" would not make sense. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:12, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

<blockquote>
It's been like 10 months since the creation of the [[User:Trey56/HRWiki:Welcome/LANGUAGE CODE|international welcome pages]], however, the visitor counts are pretty low. With most pages translated, maybe we should start promoting them on the main page. These boxes designed by Sysrq868 look just fine, I would prefer the yellowish single line version.

Is it possible to take screencaps with PowerDVD or Windows Media Player? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
: Yes, assuming you don't run into a Windows bug that sometimes crops up: use the Print Screen button, open an art program of some sort, and select "Paste". I think Power DVD can also save screenshots directly, but don't quote me on that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
::With Windows XP, trying to capture with any single DVD player software never worked for me. I discovered, however, that if I first open the DVD with one piece of software and just left it paused, I could then open it with another piece of software and take screenshots to my heart's content. With Windows Vista, I haven't had to use that trick. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes, PowerDVD lets you take screenshots directly, and other players might do that as well. The Print Screen button does normally ''not'' work, as DVDs are played using hardware acceleration, bypassing a lot of Windows hooks. OF's trick of using two players suggests that Windows XP might only provide hardware acceleration for one video window. If you know what you are doing, then you could disable hardware acceleration for video playback in your graphics card's driver's settings. This ''might'' result in enabling the Print Screen button to actually capture video frames.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki.

Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone).

Bluebry: moving to the bottom - again, oh cool

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the bottom of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

:On your user page, you state "I also despise my username", which says to me that you would not want to be stuck with Peter22. In order to avoid having to change your name a second time, I'm just going to wait till you come up with something you like as opposed to something that doesn't bother you as much. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

== About "japanese cartoon"... ==

*Hi, Jay. I wanted to make a comment about the NES endings easter egg, particularly the Metroid ending, and it didn't seem appropriate to bring it up in the cartoon discussion (plus it wouldn't make sense to anyone besides us). Since you don't have a listed e-mail, I'll bring it up here. The screen that it shows, "You Fulfiled Your Mission", et. al., either features a Samus Aran in her normal suit or, if you enter a certain code (the famed JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------ code, for example), a suitless Samus, as it shows in this instance. VGMuseum shows both variants as an animated gif. Both variants do not show in the same ending, you either get the normal variant or the suitless variant if you put in a suitable code. It is the following screen which is then based upon time, and that screen does not feature any sort of text. When the game is completed under 3 hours, that screen also shows Samus in a red suit...whereas if Samus is suitless, she will always be seen in a green suit on the first screen. Anyway, I just felt like mentioning it. By the time you read this, I will probably have edited the page again and I wanted to explain the reasoning behind it instead of it potentially resulting in a siutation where we are constantly changing each others' edits. Otherwise...keep up the good work with editing the wiki and I'll do likewise. -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 16:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You are free to make this entry [[DELETED]] shortly after you read this, since it may not be the sort of thing necessarily to have in your archives. :)

Hi,

Thanks [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Sure. But the second [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip] doesn't say anything about it (this meaning). "Gip" is obviously not considered a canonical spelling of this particular term by the American Heritage Dictionary, but variant instead. Why don't we add it to the transcript with the note about SB's variant spelling? [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::: That first link you gave is GIP in all caps. Did you see this article [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip-1]? Variants are not misspellings, and are not really important to note. [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 01:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::: It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.) We had this discussion earlier today. At any rate, '''Strong Bad actually types the word "gipped"''', and according to our [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], what Strong Bad types is what we type, whether misspelled, nonsensical, or contrary to what he actually says (though in that last case, we also note what he actually says.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

==Same age==

You're the same age as me, Jay. Were you born in [[Wikipedia:1982|1982]]? That's the year I was born. Is your real name Michaell Jay Jiminez? I remember a Michaell Jiminez from school. —[[User:Brian Barbera|Brian Barbera]] 00:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
: Yes, I was born in 1982, but, no, my name isn't Michael which whatever. My real name can be found via information on my user page, but it's not ON my user page. And that's all I'm saying about that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

== My revert ==

Hey, Jay, just wanted to let you know I've been talking to Lapper on IRC and he is almost done with the whole transcript (he's apparently not doing it in installments like I do, but getting it all done at once). That's why I reverted back to the inprogress tag. Just wanted to clarify. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
: Well, okay, but an hour with no updates does look suspiciously like an abandoned transcript... I mean, you can understand why I removed it, right? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
::Absolutely. Would have thought of the same thing if I hadn't been in IRC to check up on it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== 20X6 Homsar?? ==

Does Homsar really have a 20X6 counerpart? I can't find it on the [[characters#20X6|characters]] page... {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 17:26, 24 August 2006

:Jay only said that he's not the only one to have no 20X6 counterpart.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: '''EDIT CONFLICT'D!!''' ''(Ow! My response! But I'm saying it anyway.)'' You misunderstood. My reasoning was this:
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without an Old-Timey counterpart", without mentioning 20X6, then the statement is true.
:# If you say "Homsar is the only main character without a 20X6 counterpart", without mentioning Old-Timey, then the statement is false (Bubs, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, The King of Town, and The Poopsmith also have no 20X6 counterparts, and the counterparts of Marzipan and The Cheat have yet to actually ''do'' anything. Even [[The Fort Wayne Locomotive]] got an appearance in a 'toon.)
: Thus, the fact as written was misleading and added an unnecessary complication. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

== Subtitles ==

Hey Jay. We've now got a [[HRWiki:Subtitles|dedicated subtitles page]]. Organization is still a bit chaotic, but we're getting there. We've defined the new format now, and put a downloadable testing environment online. The new format is backwards compatible, so you won't have to re-do everything just yet. And if you put your subtitles on the wiki, then I'm sure they'll get fixed "magically" ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Jay. I'm wondering what led to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Coach_Z&diff=next&oldid=365852 this group of edits]. The reason I ask is because you removed so much information from each page, and I was trying to find either where that information was already listed on each page or the discussion about why it shouldn't be listed at all. Cheers! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I jumped the gun and tried to finish off the "retirement B" transcript before you did. I was just trying to help, but I can see why it would be a nuisance. You did a much better job than I could have. I imagine more annoying things happen all the time , but I just wanted to say that I've learned my lesson. Sorry!--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 08:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
: No, no, I may have over-reacted, but the #1 annoyance when trying to write a transcript is edit conflicts. It's why I put the "In progrss" tag on the transcript twice. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Anyway, the important thing is that we have an awesome transcript already and no permanent harm was done. Sorry again!--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 08:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

As a reply to [[Subtitles talk:sbemail167/en]], there was only one easter egg to subtitle.

== In Regards to SB's mouth in Record Book ==

Even in the old animations, whenever SB makes an o sound, including the ou sound, his mouth turns round. It did when he said round, which has the same vowel sound as mouth. Yet when he said mouth in the email, his mouth did not turn round as it was supposed to. This is especially noteworthy as he was contesting his mouth being rectangular all the time when the goof was made.

I'd say something to them, but I'm afraid of overstepping my lack of authority. So, I decided to bring it to the attention of the sysop with the most recent edit, thereby indicating your current presence.

It wasn't just "for a personal reason;" it was specifically for surgery. Are there actually other widely-known cases of talk show hosts who have done that exact thing? If there are, I will politely step down, but I wish you hadn't used sarcasm to explain your deletion; that's something I really don't like to see on this site.
: Surgery is almost universal in modern society. Am I to believe that Letterman is the only talk-show host ever that took an absence due to it? I'm aware of small-time radio talk show hosts getting temporary replacements for every reason under the sun; surely not as widely-known as Letterman, but who said it had to be a widely-known case?

==Apology==
Well, I don't appreciate any of this, either, even though I'm most likely the one that started it. Like I said, I have autism and I'm not lying (however you spell that word). Not being able to control my anger is a "side effect." Now, I know you're going to say that what I just said has nothing to do with this, but it does. I know people don't believe me and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I see no rules about anything anywhere, because of the obviously stupid person that I am. I know I'm going to be labeled as an idiot now, so I'm afraid to make an account and put the name "Taiya" up anywhere. I listened again to caffeine and I still don't hear anything. The quote of the week was from a later part in the email, and I probably won't believe the "real thing" any time soon. Oh, well. I don't care if anyone hates me. I just wanted to help the Homestar universe because I suck at doing anything else.

== Revert warring ==

DeFender, you say [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=business_trip&curid=38242&diff=507102&oldid=507100&rcid=463357 "stop revert warring"], yet you also were revert warring. Does that seem right to you? If you felt talk page discussion was so important, why didn't you initiate it? To borrow Smokey the Bear's phrase, "Only YOU can prevent edit wars." {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:I was reverting because the fact was originally written like that, and i was saying to discuss it before just removing it. Now that I think about it, you're right, I should probably have just let it go, discussed it, and let it be resolved, after all, does it really matter if it's on the page during the discussion, as long as it ends up the way the community decides it should? I apologize, and will try to be less agressive in the future. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Undoing legitimate edits ==
If you're going to undo an edit that looks suspicious but that might turn out to be correct (like {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=homestarrunner.com&diff=508164&oldid=508163 this}}), please leave a note on the original editor's talk page or on a high-visibility talk page informing someone of what action you took, in case it turns out the edit was indeed legitimate and should not have been reverted (as was the case here). Something like, "Hey, I noticed you made X important change to such-and-such page. What was your basis for this edit?" Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== To Answer Your Question ==

Regarding my removal of all evil acts from [[Strong Bad Smiling]], there was a discussion a few months ago over whether that gag was notable since his usual personality is not the direct opposite of happy (like Strong Sad). It was suggested on the talk page that the notablility would be improved by removing times he smiled ''because'' he did something bad. The question I was referring to in my headline was that "why?" in your edit summary. I apologize if I am too vague. You can say your opinion on the SB Smiling talk page.

== Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse ==
I was going to change this, but I see you reverted this change once, so I figured I'd bring it up with you first. According to the wikipedia article, the character is actually spelled like the star (ie "Betelgeuse") despite the fact the title is spelled differently. But I can see this could be confusing - most people more easily recognize the title spelling, so... should it just be left, though it's technically incorrect? Would you mind if it was changed back?[[User:Farmboyjad|Farmboyjad]] 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:Leave it, I actually think wikipedia is wrong, why would the title character of a movie's name be spelled differently than the name of the movie itself? And i just read the wikipedia article, it makes no mention of the spelling, just always calls him "beetlejuice". Finally, this is the sort of thing for the talk page of an article itself, not my personal talk page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

(I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and Sam the Man.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation.

Hello DeFender1031, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right.

::Michael, Defender is not destroying your work. He has no power to do so, as I've no doubt he would affirm. If your work is deleted, it will be because the ''community'', not Defender, decides that it is not needed. Furthermore, I don't appreciate the cut of your jib. While I know it's frustrating to see your work nominated for deletion, replying by being impatient and rude isn't OK. In particular, your line "i just don't put up with crud crap like that much anymore" sounds a bit like a threat to me. You've been told several times not to be disruptive, and quite honestly, it's kind of trying my patience at this point. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

==Apology==
Well, I don't appreciate any of this, either, even though I'm most likely the one that started it. Like I said, I have autism and I'm not lying (however you spell that word). Not being able to control my anger is a "side effect." Now, I know you're going to say that what I just said has nothing to do with this, but it does. I know people don't believe me and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I see no rules about anything anywhere, because of the obviously stupid person that I am. I know I'm going to be labeled as an idiot now, so I'm afraid to make an account and put the name "Taiya" up anywhere. I listened again to caffeine and I still don't hear anything. The quote of the week was from a later part in the email, and I probably won't believe the "real thing" any time soon. Oh, well. I don't care if anyone hates me. I just wanted to help the Homestar universe because I suck at doing anything else.

DeFender, you say [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=business_trip&curid=38242&diff=507102&oldid=507100&rcid=463357 "stop revert warring"], yet you also were revert warring. Does that seem right to you? If you felt talk page discussion was so important, why didn't you initiate it? To borrow Smokey the Bear's phrase, "Only YOU can prevent edit wars." {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:I was reverting because the fact was originally written like that, and i was saying to discuss it before just removing it. Now that I think about it, you're right, I should probably have just let it go, discussed it, and let it be resolved, after all, does it really matter if it's on the page during the discussion, as long as it ends up the way the community decides it should? I apologize, and will try to be less agressive in the future. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Undoing legitimate edits ==

Something like, "Hey, I noticed you made X important change to such-and-such page. What was your basis for this edit?" Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== To Answer Your Question ==

Regarding my removal of all evil acts from [[Strong Bad Smiling]], there was a discussion a few months ago over whether that gag was notable since his usual personality is not the direct opposite of happy (like Strong Sad). It was suggested on the talk page that the notablility would be improved by removing times he smiled ''because'' he did something bad. The question I was referring to in my headline was that "why?" in your edit summary. I apologize if I am too vague. You can say your opinion on the SB Smiling talk page.

== Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse ==
I was going to change this, but I see you reverted this change once, so I figured I'd bring it up with you first. According to the wikipedia article, the character is actually spelled like the star (ie "Betelgeuse") despite the fact the title is spelled differently. But I can see this could be confusing - most people more easily recognize the title spelling, so... should it just be left, though it's technically incorrect? Would you mind if it was changed back?[[User:Farmboyjad|Farmboyjad]] 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:Leave it, I actually think wikipedia is wrong, why would the title character of a movie's name be spelled differently than the name of the movie itself? And i just read the wikipedia article, it makes no mention of the spelling, just always calls him "beetlejuice". Finally, this is the sort of thing for the talk page of an article itself, not my personal talk page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

(I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and Sam the Man.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello DeFender1031, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right.

In the future, please replace an "under construction" template with a "section stub" template if you decide you do not want to finish the transcript (as seen in [[Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_14]]).

== Response ==
I have a wiki name somewhere, I visit this page extremely often. But thank you for your kind words it is nice to know not everyone is as extreme. Isn't the HR Wiki notorious for it's difficulty though?

Thank you, once again!!

== Linking ==
You say we don't link our own references, so I just wanted to point out that that's not necessarily true. See [[CGNU Prinicpal's Office]] for one example I can think of offhand. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 01:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

uhh...
are you confusing me with YK? I made that template, and i want your opinion on it. my tolerance for crap like this isn't as high as it was, say, a month ago.
even though it's the summer months all up ons us, i have poison ivy rashes and a friggin painful sunburn and they both cause me crap. i don't need more than two promblems.
so fine, destroy three hours of my work for all i care. i just don't put up with crud crap like that much anymore.

[[User:MichaelXX2|I have to get a shot for it too]]
:No i am not. When i was talking to you, i was talking to you, when i was talking to him i was talking to him. And please don't take it personally, remember, i was defending the page saying that it should be judged on its merits, remember? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::Michael, Defender is not destroying your work. He has no power to do so, as I've no doubt he would affirm. If your work is deleted, it will be because the ''community'', not Defender, decides that it is not needed. Furthermore, I don't appreciate the cut of your jib. While I know it's frustrating to see your work nominated for deletion, replying by being impatient and rude isn't OK. In particular, your line "i just don't put up with crud crap like that much anymore" sounds a bit like a threat to me. You've been told several times not to be disruptive, and quite honestly, it's kind of trying my patience at this point. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:HeimsternGreatWall.JPG|thumb|Yeah, that's what I look like. On the Great Wall, no less.]]
Hallo! Wie geht's Euch? Ich freue mich, daß Ihr meine Webpage besucht!

So, my name's Nat. I am 27 years old and live in [[Wikipedia:California|California]].

My non-HR-related interests interests include various church-related activities, such as choir, Bible Study and outreach. I am also obsessed with classical music of all sorts, especially [[Wikipedia:Franz Josef Haydn|Haydn]], [[Wikipedia:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], [[Wikipedia:Franz Schubert|Schubert]], [[Wikipedia:Carl Maria von Weber|Weber]], [[Wikipedia:Richard Wagner|Wagner]] and [[Wikipedia:Gustav Mahler|Mahler]]. I enjoy singing Schubert ''Lieder'' in my spare time. I am also fluent in [[Wikipedia:German language|German]] and enjoy speaking it whenever I can (as some of you may have guessed, my user name is a direct translation of the name "Homestar Runner"). Many on the Wiki believe I am German, and sometimes I wish I could tell them that I am. But it's just not the case: I was born and raised in the United States of America and have never lived in Germany.

==My history with H*R and the Wiki==

I first discovered homestarrunner.com in March 2003 when I saw a couple of friends of mine watching various [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]] (at the time, [[the show]] was the new Email). I remember laughing really hard at [[japanese cartoon]]: I used to have a roommate who liked anime and so the parody of the clichés resonated well with me. After a couple of weeks, I went back and watched all the Strong Bad emails to that date (this time, it was [[spring cleaning]] that made me just about fall out of my chair). That summer, I introduced it to my entire family and hooked all three of my sisters (who often try very hard not to like anything that I like).

I first encountered the Wiki sometime in 2004 or 2005 (I believe I followed a link from [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]), but I didn't become a regular user until summer of 2005. At that time, I discovered all the awesome things on the Wiki. I first registered sometime around 23 August 2005 because I wanted to vote on [[STUFF]]. For over a month, I remained a redlinked user and only voted in STUFF and occasionally corrected spelling or grammar (albeit anonymously). On 6 October 2005 I finally made a user page and was greeted shortly thereafter by [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] (back when he was called "notstrongorbad") and [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]], who remain two of my favorite users. As I had no concept of such things as the recent changes page at the time, I was surprised to see that I had been noticed me at all! This was when I began to contribute to the wiki. At first, it was just a little bit here and there, but eventually I became a very active user. I must have done something right, because I was made a sysop on 7 March 2006.

'''''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''''' ''Some troll decided to celebrate New Year's Day 2006 by vandalizing my user space, and since then it's been vandalized twenty-two times! Isn't that great?!''

I enjoy making sure that the Wiki remains free of defacements and poor edits, and am to that end a member of the Recent Changes Patrol. I've reverted many a vandal edit in my day and have blocked several (or, in my pre-sysop days, informed sysops of them). My most memorable experience fighting vandals occurred when [[User:Lapper|Lapper]], [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] and I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning of 28 January 2006 stopping an annoying group of sockpuppets.

What else do I do here on the Wiki, you ask? Or maybe you don't ask, but I'm still going to tell you. I vote on STUFF and correct bad spelling and punctuation (some of you should really watch [[local news]] again: Ohh, if-you-want-it-to-be-possessive-it's-just-I-T-S. But-if-it's-supposed-to-be-a-contraction-then-it's-I-T-apostrophe-S. Scalawag.) I also occasionally add Fun Facts and delete and STUFF bad ones (or at least I thought they were bad!). I also revert bad edits. I am a member of the Welcoming Committee, although I don't tend to welcome new users too often, as I tend to wait until a user has at least one edit (by which point usually someone else has done it).

== Significant Contributions ==

At least, I think they're significant:

*I created the [[Crapfully Yours]], [[Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship]] and [[DNA Evidence (running gag)]] articles (but, naturally, others have continued to maintain and improve them).
*I transcribed the following DVD commentaries:
**[[Bug In Mouth Disease]]
**[[Biz Cas Fri 2]]
**[[Fluffy Puff Commercial]] (both commentaries)
**[[New Boots]]
**[[Peasant's Quest Preview]]
**[[Puppet Time]]
**[[Senor Mortgage]]
**[[Sick Day]]
**[[Strong Bad Sings]] (some of it had already been transcribed)
**[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (second commentary)
**[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]]
**[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]
**[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]
**[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]]
**[[The Interview]]
**[[Theme Song Video]]
**[[TrogdorCon '97]]
*And the following toon transcriptions:
**[[death metal]]
**[[Sbemail 150?!?]]
**About three eighths of [[Strongest Man in the World]]
**[[road trip]]
**[[coloring]]
**[[your funeral]]
**[[from work]]
**About half of [[pizza joint]]
**[[web comics]]
**[[love poems]]

== How do you pronounce Heimstern's name? ==

*Heim- : hime (rhymes with "lime")
*-stern : shtairn ("r" pronounced as a vowel, as some Northeasterners do)
*Läu- : loy (does ''not'' rhyme with "how"!)
*-fer : fah (kind of a mix between "ah" and a schwa)

== Possible translations of other characters' names ==

*Pom pom : Pompon
*Marzipan : Marzipan (P.S.: The word [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] actually came to English from German)
*Strong Bad: Stark Schlecht
*Strong Mad: Stark Wütend
*Strong Sad: Stark Traurig
*The Cheat: Der Betrüger (although I prefer "Der Cheat")
*Bubs: Bubs (not really translatable)
*Coach Z: Trainer Z ("Z" pronounced "tsett")
*The King of Town: Der König der Stadt
*The Poopsmith: Der Mistschmied
*Homsar: Hemsern

== Some random facts ==

*Current favorite quote: "Twees it out!"
*I have a poster on my wall that my sister made for me that says "cool tapes!"
*My birthday is the same as the composer [[Wikipedia:Richard Wagner|Richard Wagner]]'s.
*My cousins have a pair of red boxing gloves that resemble Strong Bad's. The first time I tried them on, I naturally decided to try typing with them. No success. I still have no idea [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he does it]].

'''ME''': And that's why come Schumann was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD''': Ohh! I see now!

Stinkoman 20X6 Remarks

Bluebry — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:53:23 GMT

Bluebry: rvv

These are some remarks regarding the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] game.

== General ==
* The box art of Stinkoman 20X6 shows Stinkoman with thumbs, but when [[Strong Bad]] was imagining Stinkoman he specifically said to take out his thumbs.
* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[New Boots]].
* To get capsules that are hiding behind enemies without having to kill the enemy, run into the enemy with health to spare. You will take damage, grab the crunch and will be invincible long enough to escape unharmed.
*This is the first new game not to use some sort of scoring system.
*There are three kinds of ladders used in the game: Ladders with small rungs (1.1, 1.2, 5.2), ladders with large rungs (2.1, 2.2, 5.1, 6.1), and ladders with duck rungs (-0.1, -0.2).
*If you type in the URL for volume 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, for a split second the page title will say "Old Stinkoman Game Page R.I.P." then it will take you to the current one.
*All of the voice clips in the game have been taken from previous 20X6 'toons and sped up. ("20X6!"; "Are you asking for a challenge?"; Stinkoman's victory laugh; "I wanna be the guy too!")
*If you look closely, the main page takes you to the page for v2 of Stinkoman 20X6, which is set to redirect you to the page for the current version.
*In the Game Over screen, Stinkoman and 1-Up have green tongues, but in the cutscenes, they have red tongues. However, the green tongues are probably a result of losing the game, based on the quotes "My stummy hurts..." and "My tongue is green..." in the Game Over screens.
*"Saargtsson" is an Icelandic surname, meaning "Saargt's son".
*In the cutscenes, Stinkoman nor 1-up actually "walk" but "float" to maneuver

== Levels 1 to 3 ==
*In Level 2.3, if you listen closely, when Brody tries to peck you, you can hear him shriek. Also, Ekersby shrieks when he raises his arms.
*The background music of the cutscene of level 1.1 is the same as the music in the background of the level 3.1 cutscene.
*The stinkomanual drew Stlunko with arms. in the game, his fists are just floating.
*When you collect 10 peices of bread in level 3.2, even if you are not to Stlunko's left, you end up there no matter what.

== Level 4 ==
*On Levels 4.1 and 4.2, Stinkoman can actually fall down in certain spots to join 1-Up, but you will eventually lose because there will be no one to jump on the tiles.
*In Level 4, when Stinkoman is facing to the right, his giant fist powerup is a left hand but when he turns around the fingers are still facing the player so it turns into a right hand. This "sprite mirroring" is common in older games to conserve memory. A notable exception is Metroid, in which Samus is always left handed.
*When 1-Up falls into the fiery lava below (usually when a platform is not in the right position), the screen pans to the right for a little bit before losing the life. Is 1-Up still walking down there?
**Stinkoman can also fall through the lava without getting hurt. That is until he reaches the bottom.
*The 1-Up sprites in Level 4 are slightly different from the ones in Level 5 — they were not reused, as the Stinkoman ones are.

== Levels 5 to 7 ==
*Before Level 4, 1-Up says he is taking a short cut. Before level 5, they are back at Stinkoman Headquarters. The "short cut" didn't go anywhere!
*Stinkoman breaks the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]] by saying (in Level 5) "No way! I helped you in Level 4!"
**He does it again at the end of Level -0 by saying that 1-Up and [[Pan Pan]] "are on Level 10."
*The head of the [[Shadowy Figure|silhouette]] at the end of Levels 5 and 6 and beginning of 7 and -0 appears to match the head of [[20X6 Coach Z]] in the Games menu.
*The meteors in Level 5 cause the game to lag for a split second when they crash. This may be done on purpose to emulate how easy it is to put stress on older game systems.
*At the end of level 7.2, if you jump right when you see the retractable ladder, you can shoot An Ice Machine before the battle starts.
*There is no cutscene before level 7.3, the boss battle with An Ice Machine.

== Levels -0 and 9 ==
*It is possible to get numerous extra lives in level -0.2. Since there are two extra lives available, once you get both, you can die and start over, gaining one more for each time.
*The music for levels -0.1 and -0.2 contains portions of the music from the previous levels - the intro from level 1, then level 5, 2, 4, both 4 and 1 played at the same time, quite a bit of 6 (with a few notes changed), then a new riff to tie it into the next repeat. The music from levels 3 and 7 are not included.
*Sackastanos and Semulades sport visors similar to Browntants.
*There is no cutscene before the boss battle on Level 9.3 against Harvax XVII.
*Harvax XVII's hands are white, but his face is purple.
*Level -0.1 has every kind of platform, every enemy, and every ladder from Levels 1-7. In fact, only 3 things are unique to the Negative Zone: poison capsules, the ball-shooter plants, and the duck-runged ladders.
*Shadowy Figure breaks the fourth wall by saying "SO, STINKOMAN THINKS HE COULD JUST FLY STRAIGHT TO LEVEL 10, DOES HE?"

'''The Little Chef Guy''' is the [[The King of Town|King of Town]]'s chef. He appears in [[The King of Town DVD]] and [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], though The King of Town mentions him in the [[King of Town Email]]. [[Strong Bad]] doesn't trust him very much. He is holding a knife, yet has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]]. When the King of Town calls him in his email, he names him as "That little chef guy." In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]] he delivers pizza to [[The King of Town's Castle]]. He is drawn as an [[Wikipedia:Stereotypes of East and Southeast Asians#Stereotypes of physical attributes|Asian stereotype]], with a round yellow head, slanted eyes and a broad smile. He wears a white smock and a [[Wikipedia:Toque (French)|toque]].

'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', is the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]]. It was originally a small feature introduced in 2001, in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. Although the animations were initially brief, the responses gradually grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], and [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], like [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email will include numerous [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[action figure]], [[japanese cartoon]], and [[isp]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

==Not Quite Strong Bad Emails==

The following shorts were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails. They are numbered by halves to show where they appeared chronologically in the list above. Numbers 99½B, 118½, and 158½ are not linked to from anywhere on the site.

*193½B. [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] (The reading of the story takes place after what appears to be a Strong Bad Email.) 
*193½A. [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] (This email is an advertisement for a game that is in the making and never actually appeared on the Strong Bad Email page)
*191½. [[Rotten Eggs]] (A message made by the splattered rotten Easter egg reads, "Sbemail Next Week.")
*170½. [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] (A deleted scene from [[from work|sbemail 169]])
*158½. [[Lappynapped!]] (Messages on Strong Bad's answering machine, as the Lappy is missing.)
*152½. [[Weclome Back]] (Strong Bad tries to show an email he checked over summer vacation (in midair, no less), but hits "stop" instead of "record" on the video camera.)
*149½. [[Sbemail 150?!?]] ([[Strong Sad]] tries to get Strong Bad to do his 150th email.) 
*136½. [[Sick Day]] (A failed attempt at an email due to sickness striking the entire cast.) 
*127½. [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] ("The Email Show" is one of the pay-per-view features.)
*118½. [[Broken Compy Menu|Strong Bad Email?]] (Broken Compy Menu.) 
*99½B. [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (Secret URL address for anyone who wanted a peek at Email 100 before it was released.)
*99½A. [[Puppet Time]] (A message was taped onto Puppet Compy's screen that read "Probably at a barbecue, from SB")
*68½. [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] (A message was taped onto the Compy in the email menu that read "Looking at a thing in a bag" when the cartoon was released.)
*66½. [[Arcade Game]] (Homestar Runner reads Strong Bad's note he left on the Compy 386.)
*59½. [[Superbowl Dealie]] ([[The Paper]] reads "Due to the big game, the Strong Bad Email will be late this week.")
*55½. [[Decemberween_Email_Menu|Too Busy to Check E-mails]] (Typed on the Compy is "No emails on the holidays.")
*41½. [[King of Town Email]] ([[The King of Town]] tries to answer an email on his recently bought (but broken) Tandy 400.)
*36½. [[TV Time Toons Menu]] (Placing the mouse over Strong Bad Email will bring up a short, soundless email from Stu. See [[Wireless Bizness]].)

==Strong Bad Email Menus==

*1–32 [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail_first.html Tandy 400 menu]
*33–34 [[Broken Tandy Menu]]
*35–40 [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail_youguysokay.html Slightly damaged Tandy menu]
*41 [[HR:sbemail(vacation).swf|Vacation menu]]
*42–118 [[HR:sbemail.swf|Compy 386 menu]]
**Between 55 and 56 [[Decemberween Email Menu]]
**Between 118 and 119 [[Broken Compy Menu]]
*119–Current [[HR:sbemail_lappy.swf|Lappy 486 menu]]

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 224 emails as of [[love poems]].
*It would take 9 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 18 minutes, and 36 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[HR:rando.xml|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], and [[redesign]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]]
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], and [[retirement|retirement B]], when the Lappy was kidnapped, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.

Hey I'm complaining. I got the pirates line the moment you said it to me online, and you know it. You asked the question in response to something I wrote. I also got all your other quotes instantly. Your latest one for example is from that Buzz movie, where Buzz's partner tells him it, the blank part is Zurg. I expect you to correct your list of winner, or at least give me a lifetime achievement award on the subject. -Insane Coder [[User:89.139.31.118|89.139.31.118]] 05:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

==Apology==
Well, I don't appreciate any of this, either, even though I'm most likely the one that started it. Like I said, I have autism and I'm not lying (however you spell that word). Not being able to control my anger is a "side effect." Now, I know you're going to say that what I just said has nothing to do with this, but it does. I know people don't believe me and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I see no rules about anything anywhere, because of the obviously stupid person that I am. I know I'm going to be labeled as an idiot now, so I'm afraid to make an account and put the name "Taiya" up anywhere. I listened again to caffeine and I still don't hear anything. The quote of the week was from a later part in the email, and I probably won't believe the "real thing" any time soon. Oh, well. I don't care if anyone hates me. I just wanted to help the Homestar universe because I suck at doing anything else.

==Deleting Talk Pages==
"i'm pretty sure that it's not good form to just delete a talk page like that without at least creating an archive... (someone correct me if i'm wrong)"
:Please read [[HRWiki:User space|user space]]. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 13:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah, Phlip set me straight. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

== Revert warring ==

DeFender, you say [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=business_trip&curid=38242&diff=507102&oldid=507100&rcid=463357 "stop revert warring"], yet you also were revert warring. Does that seem right to you? If you felt talk page discussion was so important, why didn't you initiate it? To borrow Smokey the Bear's phrase, "Only YOU can prevent edit wars." {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:I was reverting because the fact was originally written like that, and i was saying to discuss it before just removing it. Now that I think about it, you're right, I should probably have just let it go, discussed it, and let it be resolved, after all, does it really matter if it's on the page during the discussion, as long as it ends up the way the community decides it should? I apologize, and will try to be less agressive in the future. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== hey, hey, hey ==
i haven't checked out my userpage for like a month, so i was just poking around and saw your "i'm so stealing you shomer shabbat box" comment so naturally, i click your username instead of finishing my essay. so what do i find on your page? sweet, sweet fame. recognition on the same list as some of the wikiest big shots on the wiki.... i'll try to keep the kavod from getting to my head. much love,
{{User:TheDude/sig}} 03:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
:Haha... cool. (Though my cool user list isn't really so much kavod... it's more just gashmius... But it's fun so it's all good.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 06:46, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

== Undoing legitimate edits ==
If you're going to undo an edit that looks suspicious but that might turn out to be correct (like {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=homestarrunner.com&diff=508164&oldid=508163 this}}), please leave a note on the original editor's talk page or on a high-visibility talk page informing someone of what action you took, in case it turns out the edit was indeed legitimate and should not have been reverted (as was the case here). Something like, "Hey, I noticed you made X important change to such-and-such page. What was your basis for this edit?" Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== To Answer Your Question ==

Regarding my removal of all evil acts from [[Strong Bad Smiling]], there was a discussion a few months ago over whether that gag was notable since his usual personality is not the direct opposite of happy (like Strong Sad). It was suggested on the talk page that the notablility would be improved by removing times he smiled ''because'' he did something bad. The question I was referring to in my headline was that "why?" in your edit summary. I apologize if I am too vague. You can say your opinion on the SB Smiling talk page.

:[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad_Smiling&diff=509956&oldid=509951&rcid=466318 actions speak louder than words.] {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

== Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse ==
I was going to change this, but I see you reverted this change once, so I figured I'd bring it up with you first. According to the wikipedia article, the character is actually spelled like the star (ie "Betelgeuse") despite the fact the title is spelled differently. But I can see this could be confusing - most people more easily recognize the title spelling, so... should it just be left, though it's technically incorrect? Would you mind if it was changed back?[[User:Farmboyjad|Farmboyjad]] 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:Leave it, I actually think wikipedia is wrong, why would the title character of a movie's name be spelled differently than the name of the movie itself? And i just read the wikipedia article, it makes no mention of the spelling, just always calls him "beetlejuice". Finally, this is the sort of thing for the talk page of an article itself, not my personal talk page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

:Umm... I'm not sure I know what you mean... But i think you're asking if you can make a relationship page about HS and TC, and that's got nothing to do with me, i don't do much by way of those pages, i'm just the guy who wrote the script to make that cool chart. Consider any of those pages to be like any other page on the wiki, all that chart means is that someone wnated an easy way to organize that info, and that that chart doesn't really belong in the main namespace, so i put it in my own. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

(I am also leaving the same message to SamFisher1022 and Sam the Man.) As established editors I believe you handled poorly the welcoming of this user. Instead of providing a more welcoming and inviting message, you have a quick edit war of sorts in someone else's user talk page. Imagine how a new user would feel seeing this kind of mysterious edit summary arguments going on. This sort of behavior could easily turn away prospective editors (good or not so much). I think in general we've established a bad habit of quick reverts with a simple edit summary and no explanation. Friendly but informative notices to less established users should be the norm, not the exception. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

== Oh, crap and such ==

I know in this particular case it's a little silly, but we should nonetheless endeavor to not call user contributions "[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Bapes&curid=41490&diff=549639&oldid=549638&rcid=506893 crap]" whenever possible.

== Using Show Preview ==
Hello DeFender1031, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded.

::Michael, Defender is not destroying your work. He has no power to do so, as I've no doubt he would affirm. If your work is deleted, it will be because the ''community'', not Defender, decides that it is not needed. Furthermore, I don't appreciate the cut of your jib. While I know it's frustrating to see your work nominated for deletion, replying by being impatient and rude isn't OK. In particular, your line "i just don't put up with crud crap like that much anymore" sounds a bit like a threat to me.

Hello. Why do you wish to keep me from my work? I purposely chose this time of night knowing only the most dedicated workers would be up. While the sysops rest, I ask one thing: please, please do not stop me in my mission. This place destroyed me and my life for the past two years, and I need revenge. Thank you.
:If you really want an answer, it's because this place is not for you to make whatever statement you're trying to make. I don't know who you are. Your statement means nothing to anyone.

== Guitar Tabs? ==

Someone posted a guitar tab for [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]. Should we extend this into a semi-project to put guitar tabs on all the songs on [[Strong Bad Sings]] with guitar/bass parts? If so, I call I get to tab [[Moving Very Slowly]]! --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 20:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think this is a very worthwhile project. But then, I'm not a guitar enthusiast. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::Well, Lapper, we ARE supposed to document Homestar Runner. Why not do guitar tabs? Just don't go crazy and do the SBLOUNSKCHED! theme song. Also, I don't think you can call doing something, Martyo. If you want to do it, just do it. Dibs are for [[Wikipedia:Riding shotgun|cars]] and [http://dibs.dreyers.com/ ice cream], not wikis. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, Bluebry, the only reason I called it is because if we decide to do this (which we haven't yet) a bunch of transcribers are going to want to tab out songs (and some non-transcribers might do some googling to find tabs) and I don't want to miss out on a song I know how to play. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

::::If people want to do tabs, I think it's a great idea! That's good information that a lot of people might be interested in. That said, I tend to think it would be better to keep the tabs on a separate page, in general. I can see some of them getting kind of long, and the average person just trying to read about a given song shouldn't have to scroll through screens of guitar tabs. So, I propose that they be kept on a separate page and linked to. This way, they're easily accessible to the people who want to see them, but unobtrusive to those who don't. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I moved the guitar tab for Trogdor to [[Trogdor (song)/Tablature]] and linked to it in a "See Also" section of [[Trogdor (song)]] Before we move forward, is this what we want to do, or should we do it differently? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:I agree, having tabs would be awesome. I'd like to play [[different town]], for example. What should the naming scheme be? [[Trogdor (song)/Tablature]] is somewhat ugly. What about [[Trogdor Tablatures]], just like we do for the visuals?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::Or [[Tablature: Trogdor]]. 'S perfect! Also, should we link in a see also? What about in the Detailed information area? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Having a separate namespace might be a ''little'' extreme, but I kinda like it. I'ma wait and see what others think. As for linkage, Detailed Info seems like a better way to go. That way, people don't have to search the page for a link. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Maybe possibly maybe. Also, should we include download links for things like [http://www.power-tab.net/ Power Tab]? Or will men in black fedoras grab us for copyright violation? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::Power Tab's certainly got MY approval. Most of the tabs I transcribe ARE in Power Tab. I don't see how someone could sue us for linking to their product :P. So, yeah. Power Tab = Awesome. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::Also, where it says Bass, I think you should actually put the bass tablature on there. I'm sure it'll help newbies and be more professional looking to all. :-) SMILEYS ARE GREAT! {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

== Undo summary ==

The undo function has proved quite popular. There's one aspect of it, however, that I don't really like: the way the username is included in the summary, forever recorded that the user was reverted. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like a vandal rollback, which is kind of a slap in the face. (As a side note, I'm also concerned that the undo function is being used for simple reverts of the last edit; I feel like its primary purpose is to surgically fix something a few lines down in the history.) I'd like to remove the username from the automatic summary, so that a typical undo looked like this: ''(undid revision 000000; reason for the undoing)'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:I agree 100% — I think it's unsettling to see one's name in the automatic part of the summary. Perhaps this is because of the similarity to the automatic summaries from the rollback feature, which is used almost exclusively to revert vandalism. I think the automatic summary for the undo feature should be revised as you propose. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::Yes. Better this way. The username in the summary is really off-putting: the effect to me seems rather like pointing a finger at another user and saying "you made this edit I undid". I'm not saying anyone ''meant'' to say this, but I do think that's the effect. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:34, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:I actually don't particularly mind, although Dot com has noted previously that it peeves him to have his name in an edit summary not preceded by "reply to".

== So what exactly is the "trusted user list"? ==

== Images accessable from both wikis ==

I contribute a lot to both of our HRWikis (the fanstuff being the other). However, I find it quite difficult that a lot of images that would be useful on the Fanstuff wiki are only hosted on the knowledge base. Someone with server side privelages might be able to make an image uploaded on one wiki accesable by the other. Sorta like Wikimedia Commons, where you upload it there, and it can be accessed by all the wikimedia projects. I would find it very easy. Tell me what you think! {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 02:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:I think that's an awesome idea, but I don't have server [[privaleges]]. It' up to like It's dot com or somebody like that. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
::It is technically possible to do this, but relatively speaking there are so few images that are used on both wikis that the costs outweigh the benefits at this time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Exactly. There's literally no need to put forth the effort to make a commons, as HRWiki and HRFWiki really have nothing much in common that way. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
::::I personally see value in keeping the two distinct, and that value is enjoyed on both sides. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I see the merit in allowing this, but isn't Commons a separate wiki? That means we would have to set ''another'' wiki up, migrate ''all'' the existing images from both the HRWiki and the HRFWiki to it, and force a redirect to said wiki whenever someone tries to upload another image. Sounds like too much of a waste of time, especially considering the amazingly small amount of images that actually have a point in being cross-linked. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::Commons ''is'' in fact a separate wiki. That fact alone means that they could've used the english wikipedia (or in this case the HRWiki) to make the image-copying magic. It is made separate for clarity and to avoid confusion, not necessarily for technical reasons. That said, it ''is'' a lot of work to do for what may not be used all that much. At best some script could be created to extract images from the HRwiki into the fanstuff. But again, that's a bit of work and its implementation would depend on demand/benefit and an available programmer. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::Well, we wouldn't have to put ''all'' images in Commons. 'Kipedia doesn't do that either. But I agree with Dot com and Qermaq: Only very few images would actually be shared between us and the fanstuff, making it not worth the effort. Also, I strongly argue to keep both wikis as separate as possible, content-wise. It will get messy if we don't.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== Preserve birthday card(s) as part of the history? ==

Okay guys, [[HRWiki:Da_Basement/Archive_8#Preserve_birthday_card_as_part_of_the_history|we've come to that bridge and crossed it]]. Now it's time to ask the big question: Do we make a page for [[User talk:Invisible Robot Fish/Talk Archive Mike Chapman's Card|Mike's card]]? I don't see why not. I already created a [[:Category:Mike's Birthday Card Images|category]] for the images. This, I think, is useful whether we make a page or not. Anywho, what have ye all to say? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah. I think we should. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 18:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

== Count increment broken ==

Okay, for some reason the #count+''increment'' and #resetcount [[HRWiki:Counter|parser tags]] don't seem to be working properly. (At least not from my machine -- which I seriously doubt is an issue, since it's all done server side, right?). I first found the problem in the QOW page, and {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/sandbox&diff=506429&oldid=506426 have}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/sandbox&diff=506433&oldid=506432 tried}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/sandbox&diff=506435&oldid=506434 different things}} to assess the situation and try to find a workaround. However, I've come to the following conclusions (from my observations):
#The #resetcount tag is not resetting the counts for any value (except maybe to zero)
#The ''increment'' parameter in the #count tag seems to behave in some strange way
#All the count examples in the documentation still seem to work correctly (confusing me more).
As such, I am completely baffled by this behavior. Even all the names match! Maybe It's the spaces? I don't know. This is weird. Help! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:I think it may have been a formatting issue. Does {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=506872&oldid=506371 this change}} fix the issue? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
::Stux, I tweaked the hresetcount template so that it properly resets the visible values on vcount, but other than that these templates and the underlying parser functions seem to be functioning in general as they should. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Ahhh... yeah! Go figure. Leave it to me to create a template, add a feature, and months later, forget all about it that it exists!

Thanks Tom for figuring out what was really wrong with QOW! I can't believe little spaces caused so much trouble. ''Ahh, programming.''

::::Well, I think it would be better to differentiate vcount from hcount, and not list unused features on hcount.

:::::Yes, I agree, and creating vresetcount sounds like a good idea. Though doing so would mean having to check all instances where hresetcount is called and see if vresetcount needs to be called. But that shouldn't be too much trouble. For now, I added the technical info back up. I think it's important in the h/vcount pages themselves to clearly state that the two templates work separately (more so with vresetcount). (This, of course, being a bad attempt at reminding ''me'' that their separate functions. ;) ) Ok! now to watch some [[TrogdorCon '97|anime]]! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== RandomArea ==

I'm starting my own wiki, and when browing extensions, I found Random Area. RandomArea is like the {{tl|homsarquote}}, only it updates the maximum number of quotes by itself. I feel it would be a lot easier for new members to add quotes. [[mw:Extension:RandomArea|Click here for info]]. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 04:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
:One of the features of the homsarquotes template is that it only chooses from all the quotes if it's used on the [[Homsar]] page; otherwise, it skips the first two. We could easily make the template use less code, but we set it up that way so that both the rendered list itself and the output of the template would look nice. I appreciate the suggestion, but I think we've got enough eyeballs on that page not to worry about installing anything else. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
::I understood that when I looked at the template, I knew it before suggesting it. Why does it need to skip the first two? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 16:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Because the first 2 aren't quotes, they're just captions. That template was originally made (and is still used) to prevent edit warring on the [[Homsar]] caption. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== Deleted page talk pages ==

So the recent incident with the clapping page got me thinking that maybe we should leave talk pages from deleted pages intact so that future people can see why a page was deleted. It's not always so obvious, i mean granted, a page like "homestar is stupid and dumb" that would be tagged for speedy deletion would not need such a thing even if it somehow developed one, but for pages that actually get discussed i think it would be helpful. (Maybe also have a template for such pages?) Thoughts? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:Agree. It'd be very useful to see the precedents and reasonings and things behind why pages were deleted. Wikipedia keeps their discussion pages, and this is one thing of theirs I think we SHOULD emulate.
:I also like the sound of that template. Something like "This is the talk page of a deleted article. Please do not participate in the existing discussions. If you have something new to say on why this page should be re-created, please start a new section below." Or something with good words. Better words than I can write. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 01:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

::::*This talk page is kept for historical reasons, as it once accompanied a page that has been deleted. Please do not contribute.

=== Reviving? ===

:::::::Another idea would be to write a script that searches the deleted pages' history (preferably in all namespaces) and finds any use of the {{tl|tbd}} template and creates a list of pages that were very likely part of the normal deletion process.

The rest of the interested community can then re-tag those pages (and mark any that should be re-deleted). How hard would implementing this sound? What kind of interest would be in this idea?

== Birthday cards for TBC ''et al.'' ==

For reference, I've copied the following conversation from [[User talk:Invisible Robot Fish]]:
<blockquote>
Hey IRF,

How 'bout we make a card for Missy when her birthday rolls around? I can imagine she's feeling pretty left out right now. Besides, she's just as important as the Brothers Chaps. If you already have one in the works, lemme know. If you don't, talk to me, and I'd be happy to help you organize it and get it together.

Sincerely,

::I'm glad to see that there are others that want to do this. I want to mention 3 things: #1) I am about to go a 2 week vacation and will be out of contact for awhile (for Missy we have some time). #2) Matt's birthday is coming up much sooner that Missy's. #3) I have had the honor and privilidge of doing this twice now. I don't think it would be fair for me to hog this. Out of this experience I have had the opportunity to talk [[Karen Wagner]] a few times, which was awesome. I must also talk about access. I am not a sysop so the fact that I was trusted with the address to send things to the TBC is very rare. I think the less people that know such information, the bigger blessing that we can be as awhole to TBC. The LAST thing that we want is for sensitive information to be given to the wrong person (and I'm not imply that any of you are the wrong person) and TBC get tons of <s>fan-mail</s> crap in the mail. For these reasons, I think it best for a sysop or duly chosen user by the sysops to take the helm on this. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 11:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

So far, we have sent Matt and Mike physical birthday cards, and Invisible Robot Fish did an incredible job putting both of these together.

As seen above, there's some interest in continuing do something for Matt's, Mike's, and perhaps others', birthdays. I think there are a few questions we should discuss in this vein:
#Whose birthdays should we honor as a wiki?
#What should we do in the future when we want to send birthday wishes?
#Who should take charge of these projects?

<nowiki>#1</nowiki> is clearly constrained by our knowledge of when people's birthdays are. As far as I can tell, we know when Matt's and Mike's birthdays are, but that's it. And I think that's a good place to stop. Yes, Missy does the voice of Marzipan, but there are others who do just as much or more for Homestar Runner (Karen Wagner, Ryan Sterritt, etc.) — we have to draw the line somewhere, and I think stopping at Matt and Mike is a good point (especially since we don't know anyone else's birthday!).

In regard to #2, I don't think we should do the same thing if we decide to do something for Matt or Mike's birthdays again. If we keep sending them giant birthday cards, I think the idea will get stale pretty quickly. Maybe we want to do something else in the future, but I think we should think of a different idea.

Finally, with respect to #3, IRF put a great deal of work into the past birthday cards. As he has indicated above, he'd like somebody else to take the helm of future projects, and I agree that it would be very unfair for us to expect him to put in the huge amount of work necessary to send out one of these again. Also, as IRF and It's dot com mentioned in the above quoted text, any communication sent by the wiki as a whole ought to go through the bureaucrats — Joey, Dot com, or Tom — for obvious reasons we should limit the spread of TBC's contact information as much as possible.

Any thoughts about any of these points? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said above. I'm sorry for getting this whole stupid snowball rolling in the first place. I was feeling a little egoistic at the time of the first post. I guess I just needed someone to talk some sense into me. This does seem a little big for a meager user like me. Let's just go back to the way it was before my idea. Anyone else agree? {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

::Oh, I hope you don't take any of the above comments as directed against you. I thought you brought up a good suggestion — one worth discussing :) You're a good user and have nothing to apologize for :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Thanks, Trey. That made me feel better. I just thought you were backing up It's dot com and making me feel worse. But you do bring up some good points above. {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}
::::It was not my intention to make you feel bad, simply to point out that there are things we need done more than this, and, like Trey, question whether we wanted to continue doing this at all. It's also my responsibility to make sure anyone who wants to send anything to TBC ''on behalf of the wiki'' knows they have to go through us. I know I come across as a killjoy, but whattayagonnado. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:::::Coup d'état? But seriously, I think it's best we only send happy birthday wishes to TBC. Don't want to go down the same slope Google did when they started doing logos for holidays no one's ever heard of. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::I've seen {{p|l=http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html those}}. But also, I think TBC were happy when they got their own birthday poster. It may make them feel not as special (I don't have a better word) if we sent a poster card to every member of their family. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:29, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Would some sort of mass "Thank you" card directed specifically at the supporting staff (by name) be too tacky?

Specifically considering the creative and performance impact Missy has on the product, I would be in favor of including her in the birthday wishes in the event she chooses to disclose her birthday to the media or to us. Short of that, she is clearly wishing that date to remain a secret, and we have no plce infringing on that. Other than individuals actively invilved in creating the toons (Mike Matt and Missy, essentially) no others should be included as a matter of course. A 30th or 40th birthday, when known, might prove the exception. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
:That is a very good point. Celebrating Missy's birthday would be cool! At best, since we don't know it, we could celebrate her ''un''birthday! We'd have a 364 in 365 chance of getting it right this year, and 365 in 366 chance of getting it right <s>this</s> next year! Not a terribly great idea but seems fun. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

== What HRWiki is not ==

More of a question than a suggestion, but do we have any policies or pages on [[Wikipedia:WP:NOT|what HRWiki is not?]] There seems to be a volume of new users who register thinking this is some kind of social network rather than a collaborative encyclopedia. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 00:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:[[HRWiki:User space#What should I avoid?]] touches on the subject. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::But that does not cover it. I think there should be one. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 01:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:::That section in the userspace rules does address my main concern, that users don't know HRWiki isn't a social network, but I think we should make sure newbies know more about what they're getting into, or more accurately, what they're ''not'' getting into. I doubt users planning on registering know about userspace until ''after'' they create the account, then they think "Oh, I can have my own page?" and begin to treat it like some Homestar-themed Myspace. (That was what I thought when I was young and stupid, anyway.) We should make it more clear that that isn't what we are, and if we do create a new page for this it should encompass other misconceptions (I think that's the right word) as well: we aren't a paper encyclopedia, so growth of our project is virtually unlimited; we aren't adspace, while it's fine to promote one's own website, one must do so only within his or her own userspace; we aren't a soapbox, while it is occasionally necessary to give long speeches on a subject, it must remain relevant to our project of focus and we don't allow opinionated speeches on current events or politics or attitudes of self-promotion; and, of course, we aren't any of a number of [[Wikipedia:WP:BEANS|terrible ideas]]. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 13:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::::I know that this idea has been tossed around for several years, but for some reason we've never decided to act on it. Why don't you write something up, and we'll see where it goes from there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

::::::I don't know if it's ever been suggested on the wiki itself, but I know it's been talked about before (I can find it in my chat logs at least as far back as 28 January 2006).

If you don't want to spend a lot of time on it, it could be a very rough draft, just enough for us to get the general idea and determine if we want to keep going. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Made some changes and left a comment on the talk page. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
All right, the discussions are finished. Any other issues before I create the page? — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

== Upload help ==

Uploading images is becoming a common question among new users, and to my knowledge, we don't have a Help page for uploads. Somewhere on that page (somewhere obvious, like at the top), we should state exactly what "autoconfirmed" accounts refer to: accounts that have been active for a certain amount of time. Also, more of us need to know what that certain amount of time is. I was told it was 48 hours, but [[User:TheGirl|TheGirl]] successfully uploaded her first image after about 38 hours. Does it vary with server load or something? — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 15:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:Honestly, I don't think we need an page to help with uploads; the upload page itself has plenty of information on how to do it. And as for auto-confirmation, only a note would be necessary. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::Okay, maybe a whole page is too extreme, but still, how long does autoconfirm take? If we add that to the [[HRWiki:FAQ#How do I upload an image?|FAQ]], it should help tremendously. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 16:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Most likely 27 hours, if Dot com didn't change it. Just like I said on TheGirl's talk page. w00t. You can add a mention to FAQ about having to be autoconfirmed to upload an image, but we decided that the exact length of time should be an open secret. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::::It's 28 hours. That number [[HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive 8#Semi-protection implemented|hasn't changed]], either. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

== Subtitles viewer on sidebar ==

As most people know, on all toons, there is a link in the sidebar for the Subtitles namespace. However, someone like me, who uses Safari and can't use Greasemonkey, uses the subtitles viewer. If we put a link to the subtitles viewer there too, below the namespace links, that would add to convience. I know it is possible, I've done something similar on my wiki. What do you think? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 21:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

== New Template Categories ==

Thanks to the recent wiki software update, we now have the [[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates]] page. Our goal should be to keep this list as small as possible, and while some of the templates listed can be added to existing categories, some just don't fit into any. So I suggest new categories to hold these "miscellaneous" pages. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 02:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

=== HRWiki Finances ===
:''From [[Template talk:SitenoticeDonationsLine]]
<blockquote>
I want to categorize this page to help clear the [[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates|Uncategorized Templates]] list, but I can't seem to find a category to fit it in. If this does fit somewhere, I'd really appreciate if someone could add the cat to the page; if not, perhaps we should have a category that includes HRWiki's money-related pages: [[HRWiki:Donations]], [[HRWiki:Ledger]], and this. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 02:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)</blockquote>

=== Transcript Templates ===
To keep with the [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once and only Once]] policy, the transcripts for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] and [[Crazy Cartoon]] are written on template pages and added to their respective pages. I think we should have a category for transcript templates to house these and any more if we make more in the future. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 02:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
:Sounds good to me. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
::I second! er... third? one-hundred-seventy-three-thousand-three-hundred-twenty-fifth? something... i agree also. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

=== STUFF Templates ===
The [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] system has a lot of templates. Instead of categorizing them all as Notice or Formatting templates, I think it would be better to keep them all together in one category (though it may not hurt to add them to more than one category). — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 20:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

== HRWiki:Bulletin Board ==

{{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} came up with an idea that we could have a page called HRWiki:Bulletin Board that would function as a site-wide message board for to-do items, projects, and other stuff. I, personally, think that this is a great idea. Discuss. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
:Um, just so you know, there already exists a [[HRWiki:Projects|projects]] page that kinda does what you described. Unless the idea envisioned is radically different from this page, you should check it out. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:29, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
::It's not radically different, but we do know about that. Techgeek should feel free to chime in here. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:23, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, what you described was basically exactly what [[HRWiki:Projects]] is. I'm agreeing with Stux completely. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

== Question ==

Yeah, I don't know if this is the place to ask questions like this, though I guess it will serve to help me find out, but anyway, is there an automatic way to get the little gray text that says the section you're editing in the edit summary? [[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 21:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:Clicking the [edit] next to the subject will automatically do it, but you can hack it in by adding <code>/* Your Text Here */</code> to your edit summary. The [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]] would've been a better place to ask, by the way. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Vandalism Counters: More trouble than they're worth? ==

I've noticed quite a few times that someone vandalized a page that normally the would not have done, except to change the vandalism counter, essentially "killing two birds with one stone". (there was one that i noticed that actually had that as the summary, i wish i could find it.) Here are a couple of examples: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sysrq868&diff=523895&oldid=515622&rcid=480603] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:BazookaJoe&diff=prev&oldid=482310] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:BazookaJoe&diff=prev&oldid=152598] {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:I understand that people've had these for a while, and a lot of great users have 'em, but I've thought for a while that they're unhelpful. Maybe it's 'cause I don't understand what they're for — why is it important to advertise how much your user page has or hasn't been vandalized? The only time I really notice them is when people come along and vandalize the page by increasing the counter, and then I'm never sure if I should actually revert them! ;)

:This said, I'm not sure that we need a rule prohibiting them (the last thing we need is another rule and to have to go around informing everyone that has one that it must be removed), but I would personally prefer if people didn't have them. On the other hand, the edits you've mentioned happen pretty rarely (once every couple months or so), and since users editing other users' pages are easy to spot, they're easy to revert. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

::I agree with Trey56. We should not have a rule prohibiting them (really, what do you care?), but rather... discourage them. Only reason I have one is because it's pretty much the only interesting part in my userpage.

::As for these curious edits, if the vandal edits the counter appropriately (adding one), then it shouldn't be reverted, but a warning at the talk page would be in place. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 14:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I've also always wondered about whether to revert them, and when i do, the next edit is usually the owner of the userpage in question reverting me... Oh well... Anyway, i wasn't suggesting a hardcore RULE against them, just bringing up that people might want to reconsider having them, that's all. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
::::I don't think it's in the interest of the wiki to have users maintain what amount to vandalism scoreboards on their user page. It seems clear there won't be concensus to have any policy changes regarding them, but I'm thinking they actually promote vandalization. And the only purpose in telling people this on userpage that I can think of is to say "I'm cool enough to have been vandalized a lot" which we don't need to be doing. Unless someone knows a different reason, to which I am all ears. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I agree that vandalism counters only encourage vandalism. They also imply that it is some kind of honour to have one's user page vandalized. Since when do we believe that vandals have any kind of good judgment? I'm not sure they should be prohibited outright, but they should definitely be discouraged.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::I'm with Loafing. It's obvious that vandalism counters don't serve any purpose, and though the users that have them may not treat them like trophies, that's what they do look like. I don't know if we could ''completely'' prohibit them, but that's what we should aim for. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Sorting [[:Category:Articles for Discussion|Articles for Discussion]] by time since flagged ==

I often get the feeling that articles end up sitting in this category for a substantial amount of time. I think we can benefit from being able to see how long an article has been under deliberation at a glance. So I'd like to propose a small change to {{tl|tobediscussed}}:

<code>[[Category:Articles for Discussion|{{A ParserFunction to calculate today's week minus the week it was added}}]]</code>

If not, perhaps it could be added to the template inline. It's just a proposal, after all. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

:<code>[[Category:Articles for Discussion|{{A ParserFunction to calculate today's week minus the week it was added}} {{PAGENAME}}]]</code> is better, so we have the name there also. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::If I understand the functioning of mediawiki correctly, the parser function only gets evaluated when the page is rendered: that is after an edit or a purge. That means that stale pages (those that weren't edited since the tag was added) will be stale (showing that the tag was added the same week). Moreover, all that would provide would be a number from 0-9 (or a letter from a-z or A-Z), which is why WP has specific categories for each month when tags were added. (At least it does for cleanup and source tags, not sure about delete). This wiki is so small, dated categories wouldn't be very helpful I think. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

== Sig Box ==

Ok, our sig mantra is "it must fit in the box". However, innumerable examples exist where a sig will be in the box on one computer and not on another. The reason is the box is sized in pixels, while text is generally (optimally) sized in ems. The two measurements do not relate to each other in any regular way. Plus, replaced fonts and other crazy stuff browsers do really introduce surprises into the mix. So it's impossible to guarantee that any sig will or will not fit in a pixel box, unless that sig is entirely sized in pixels, which is sub-optimal for web authoring.

So, the question before you all is simply this: do we need to rethink how we conmtrol sig size? And if not, how do we determine when a sig is OK, even when it is oversized on some systems? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

:I read "Your total signature size can only be one line, and limited to around 20 or 25 characters." on {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Signature&oldid=446393 HRWiki:Signature}}. The box is just a very helpful tool (the page says "in other words" when it introduces the box), it's not meant to be the primary essence of the rule as the rule is designed not to be terribly exact. See {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk:Signature&oldid=506829#Length_is_uncontrollable our last discussion of this}}, especially Dot com's last comment which I believe is a very appropriate response. In that regard, are there instances where this is an active problem? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::I think it bears repeating here:<blockquote>We are not concerned with the fact that, if you really try, you can configure your system to make all signatures violate the policy. What we ''are'' concerned with is how a signature renders on the majority of browsers that are used to visit the wiki under ''normal'' conditions. The pixel definition is a useful tool to help us make a call, and it works well under most circumstances. Any time when it wouldn't work would be so infrequent as to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)</blockquote>[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:05, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::Wow, that's a trip down memory lane. The text on the page reads "Your total signature size can only be one line, and limited to around 20 or 25 characters. In other words, it must fit inside this box." There's no saying one is more important than the other. It's implied that the two are equivalent, when they simply are not. Dot Com's comments are decidedly vague, actually, and essentially say "we have no strict solution, and will make a call if there's a problem". I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid the ambiguity and use a rule that will apply more universally.

::As far as a current issue, I was clearly moved to comment by [[User talk:Kermit1234/sig#Your sig|this discussion]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:::If a sig is out by a pixel or even a letter, then it's not that big a deal. We've had the current standard for a while, and it does what it's supposed to do: keep signatures at a manageable length. If a consensus of people think a sig is unreasonably long based how the standard is displayed on their computers, then we say something. (Aftr all, the standard is for people who have to view others' signatures, not their own.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::::(after conflict) Regarding that specific situation: If that user is using a font that doesn't appear on most users' systems (and makes his sig that much longer because of it), then we're justified in continuing to say something. The key is, what do most people see when they see his sig? Is there anything (changing fonts, removing images) that can be done to bring the signature to conform to our standard on a majority of users' systems? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== End of the Year Update ==

Hello guys, another year as come and gone (too fast...) and it's time for another update! I'm guessing all of our stuff is gone, and I know this is done very infrequently, however I went ahead and made a [[User:Stux/Yearly Turnover|checklist]] for this rare event for future generations to enjoy and take advantage of.

However, I would like to point out that {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=H%2AR.com_updates&redirect=no H*R.com updates}} has not been updated because it is protected. I updated the talk page (even if the redirect target does not ''yet'' exist). I am writing this for two reasons:
#obviously the redirect needs to be updated
#is there a need for the page to be protected? Any previous threats of vandalism have waned and I know it's generally the wiki's policy to protected unless absolutely necessary, and I currently see no such need.
Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
:We should move that checklist somewhere into the project space. The updates page (now a redirect) was [[HRWiki:Protection Log|protected]] because way back in the day it was a target of unwanted edits and vandalism. That reason has ceased to be relevant, so I've unprotected it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
::Before I move the page into the project namespace, I'm wondering: would a page listing all the checklists be of any use? That is, it would list the [[Talk:Quote of the Week]], [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]], etc. checklists (can't think of others that need to be done). I'm not entirely sure as to the benefit, but it's good to have all checklists have some visibility and ease of access (from anywhere on the wiki). Alternatively, links to the checklists could be added to a '''See Also''' section. I ask because this would determine the page's name. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

== [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and [[Sketchbook]] linking ==

Hi guys, after {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Annual_Checklist&diff=534194&oldid=534012 adding}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Annual_Checklist&diff=534195&oldid=534194 notes}} to the [[HRW:AC|Annual Checklist]] based on {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Suudsu&curid=14302&diff=534127&oldid=514203 some}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=alternate_universe&curid=22046&diff=534095&oldid=531458 edits}} [[User:OptimisticFool|OptimisticFool]] had to make, I realized there must be a better way to do this. Since [[Weekly Fanstuff 2008]] and [[Sketchbook 2008]] already exist and now redirect to their current counterparts (which should from now one with the checklist in place), and since we have anchor redirects, I think the best course of action would be that any new Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook links be constructed as <code><nowiki>[[Weekly Fanstuff 2008#</nowiki>''anchor name here'']]</code>
instead of <code><nowiki>[[Weekly Fanstuff#</nowiki>''anchor name here'']]</code> (and similarly for the Sketchbook). This would save us the trouble of having to scour for these links at the end of the year, yet they'd still work correctly this year. If we decide to follow this idea, how to we make this note prominent so that editors are aware of them when making such links? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
:Occasionally, I ''do'' make such links when adding or fixing an anchor, or other similar edits. You make a good point, yes. This should probably be done. Nothing wrong with a little future-proofing. Or redirects, for that matter. That's why we have them. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
::I've {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=H*R.com_updates_2008&diff=535021&oldid=535019 switched}} the links in that page as discussed above. Following [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#.28Don.27t_Fear.29_The_Redirect|this section]] I'm guessing we think it's desirable. Comments? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Maybe it's trivial, but I think from [[Weekly Fanstuff|WF]] and [[Sketchbook|SK]], the "What Links Here" list is a mess and these are the types of changes that would clean it up. It's a slow day at the wiki, so I think I'm going to get busy on it. (Was going to see the new Indiana Jones movie, but there was a long line, so I gave up and now need something to do.) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Our formatting of the pages has been quite inconsistent over the years, so I created a couple of formatting templates and added them to all the pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Two more for the history books ==

Hey guys, I just ran into these two pages: [[HRWiki:Block log]] and [[HRWiki:Upload log]] which like [[HRWiki:Protection log]] and [[HRWiki:Deletion log]] should belong in [[:Category:HRWiki History]], but currently do not. They are all protected so I bring these up here. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

== Checklist Sign up Sheet ==

While the [[Talk:Quote of the Week|Weeklies Checklist]] has been kept up beautifully. Other checklists like [[Talk:Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Email]], which has become quite complex, (and [[Talk:Podstar Runner|Podstar Runner]] is new) seem to be falling into some level of disregard. The most visible and common tasks have been taken care of, but the more tedious ones (like updating {{tl|StrongBadEmailInfo}}) may not be taken care of right away. To that end I would like to propose a Weekly Checklist Sign up Sheet whose purpose is ''solely'' to track whether or not one or more users ''verified'' that each item in the checklist (except for [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]]) was updated. This doesn't mean that the user has to update the list. The signature only means that all the items have been "checked off". This would ensure that at least one pair of eyes went methodically through the list making sure no stone was left unturned. Currently, we have no way of knowing if a person actually went through the checklist, or was just trying to remember some steps from memory. I know some people may think is might be too much, but given how complex some of these lists can be, it is soon becoming a necessity. I welcome your opinions. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== TO DO WITH THE ATARI 2600 GAMES PAGE ==

iS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE GENERAL TAO THING IS A REFRENCE TO DRAGONBALL?

== Cleanup Committee ==

I have an idea. You probably guessed it from the heading, but I'm starting to feel the need for a committee dedicated to cleaning up the wiki. The various cleanup projects, namely [[HRWiki:Article Cleanup]], which deals with featured articles, have fallen into relative obscurity or the hands of only a few users. The cleanup committee would be similar in concept to the validation committee, but would focus on spelling, grammatical errors, and correct page format. It would also strive to boost the level of clarity and compellingness of our articles. It would also be more organized and hopefully encourage more users to participate in making our fair HRWiki a better and more fun place to be. Does this sound like a good concept at least? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:I think that it is the responsibility of every active user to cleanup the wiki, therefore having such a committee would be like having a userbox saying "this user edits hrwiki"... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
::Please don't shoot me down right away. I know every user is supposed to cleanup the wiki, but the majority don't really pay attention to articles that aren't the newest sbemail or character or what-have-you. What I'm suggesting is a much larger version of Article Cleanup, one that spanned the whole wiki and concentrated on spiffing up what we already have to make it even better. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

== User space edits ==

Since most userspace edits are nothing more than updating personal info or adding userboxes, is it possible to make a setting that gives users the option to not see them in recent changes? Just a thought. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:Since the first thing anyone else would say (I know I would) would be "What'd stop vandals from using that option while vandalising other people's user pages?", let me postulate this: Supposing the option only appeared for the user whose page was being edited? This is at least theoretically possible, I'm sure. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:54, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
::BUT WUT IF THEY SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT YOU AND YOU TOTALLY MISS THEMS? No, but seriously, what would stop those same users from posting inappropriate material on their own userpage? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:56, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This email is making fun of you.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Bottom 10</div>
To Weak Bad 
What is your bottom 10?
 
From someone stronger than you</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, this person made all kinds of typos. Lemme type this...

''{He changes "Weak Bad" to "Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They forgot this...

''{He adds "the Good Dancer" after "Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They got this wrong...

''{He changes "Someone stronger than you" to "Someone that is ''a girl''" with the phrase "a girl" italicized and in pink.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, there we go! ''{typing}'' Oh, Simone! You seem like a ''{in pink}'' ''really'' nice girl, so I'll answer your question ''{in pink}'' ''relatively'' free of charge. "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" is as follows:

''{Cut to Strong Badia. The "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" Logo flies in from the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Number Ten is easy. Dry T-Shirt Contests.

''{A Dry T-Shirt contest flyer for J. Stumblers Bar and Sometimes Grill flies in from the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'll never find a more degrading contest or a larger waste of not water.

''{The flyer flies away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Creeping in at Numbah Nine is that horrible painting that's been in Strong Mad's closet since we were little.

''{Dramatic music starts playing, and we cut to the door of Strong Mad's closet. Strong Bad is there, sliding the door open slowly.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' ''{menacing, under its breath}'' Come on in heeeeere.

''{Strong Bad screams and slams the door. He begins flailing around, uttering "jibblie" over and over, almost incoherently. Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Incidentally, the jibblies currently occupy Slot number Eleven ''{numbers ten and nine shift up to show'' <nowiki>*</nowiki>11. The Jibblies <nowiki>*</nowiki>Not in bottom 10 ''in gray}'' on my Bottom 10. ''{Number eleven slides out of frame. Ten and nine return to their former positions.}'' Numboo Eight is the one you should ''all'' pay close attention to: Emails with more than one "Fwd:" or "Re:" ''{pronounces "fwd" and "re" as written}'' in the Subject line.

''{Cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is preparing to answer an email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back out of my way, so I can check some email.

''{Strong Bad presses enter, and the email appears. However, the subject line fills up the screen, consisting entirely of "Fwd:" and "Re:". The subject line continues scrolling while Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great. Let me guess: ''{in a mocking voice}'' "It's true! You saw it on the news!" Or, "Hey, sounds crazy, but thought it was worth a shot!"

''{Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, a shot in the face, maybe. Now, Seven is something that's been going on for ''way'' too long. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food.

''{An ad for Fluffy Puff Marshmallows appears.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Yowza! Guess who birfday it is! ''{a question mark appears}'' Mine!

''{The lights suddenly go out, and Marshie winces in pain as the noise of an electric shock plays. A miniature Marshie walks onto the screen, with Homsar's movement noise.}''

'''NIBBLES:''' ''{Marshie appears to be getting mad during the time Nibbles is saying this}'' Sorry, Marshie, but it's ''my'' birfday. I'm one years old. My name's Nibbles, for new Fluffy Puff Marshmallows bite-si—

'''ANNOUNCER:''' All-new Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers are perfect for newborn-type babies ''{a baby emerges from a mountain of Nibblers, and then ducks back down}'', and scalding hot chocolate ''{pull back to reveal the marshmallows atop a cup of hot chocolate, which catches on fire}''. No more mouth strain with Fluffy Puff Nibblers!

''{A mouth is shown straining at a full-size marshmallow. The caption reads "You Got Mouth Strain?" with a red circle and line "no" symbol drawn through it. The symbol rolls away as the marshmallow changes to a Nibbler. The mouth smiles and the caption reads "Heck No!!"}''

'''NIBBLES:''' I make good earplugs, too.

'''MARSHIE:''' ''{Flies onto the screen and knocks Nibbles away.}'' Get out of here, you little runt! ''{Marshie winces again, causing the electrical shock noise to return. The commercial suddenly pauses, and PAUSE appears on the bottom-left corner of the screen.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And-a Numba Six-a: the Foul Stench of Wet The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Field. The Cheat is standing there, soaked and shivering. Next to him, is a ladder, a cup, and a sign that says "HIGH DIVES – 5 bucks." Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And number Five, um... not... ''{music stops}'' pigeons. ''{a pigeon starts cooing}'' They eat breadcrumbs. Take craps on people. Funny stuff. NUMBER FOUR! ''{music plays again}'' There was this one time where I had to hug a tree.

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad and Homestar are there, and Strong Bad is hugging a tree.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Keeeep ooon huggin' it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did you get me to do this in the first place?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hug it! Hug it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And why do I continue to do it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Keep on huggin' it. Hug it down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't even like this tree that much.

''{Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, now we're getting to the good ones. Number Three is the ridiculous trend of giving chocolate desserts dangerous names. You know, like, Chocolardiac Arrest. ''{a picture of Chocolardiac Arrest appears}''

'''LADY:''' ''{Voice}'' Oh, that looks ''sinful.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or... THIS BROWNIE MIGHT KILL YOU. ''{a picture of said brownie appears}''

'''LADY:''' ''{Voice}'' Oh, this is so ''rich.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, quite possible the least appetizing name of all time... Chocozuma's Revenge! ''{a picture of Chocozuma's Revenge appears}''

'''LADY:''' ''{Voice}'' This is all fat-free, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady! ''{the pictures slide off the top of the screen}'' Slumming in at Number Two are songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics. As evidenced in Limozeen's bizarrely titled "Feed The Childrens." ''{the album art of "Feed The Childrens" appears}''

<div id="Feed_The_Childrens">
'''LIMOZEEN SOLO:''' 
Na, na, la la laaaaa, 
Hey, hey! Doo-doot doo! [[#Footnote|[1]]] 
Na, na, la la laaaaa, 
Hey, hey! Doo-doot doo!

'''LIMOZEEN:''' 
Na, na, la la laaaaa, 
Hey, hey! Doo-doot doo!
<div>

''{A record scratches, the song stops, and the album art slides off the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, what were they thinking? More like, "We need to feed our children, so we made this terrible song." And, the Number One item on Strong Bad's Bottom 10 is Th—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad. ''{camera zooms out to a two-shot of Homestar and Strong Bad}'' What about my bottom—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Nobody wants to hear ''your'' bottom 10, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no. Not my Bottom 10. My bottom! You know, ''{turns around and starts doing a buttdance, singing}'' buttdance again, like the rhythm's down your pants now!

''{Homestar stops and turns around again, looking on in confusion as Strong Bad begins to make vomiting noises. Cut to the Lappy, which has the Bottom 10 displayed, where Strong Bad then vomits onto his keyboard, off camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh. Ugh. ''{weakly}'' And the Number One item on Strong Bad's Bottom 10 is... Th ''{typing}'' cleaning up your own puke off the keyboard. ''{clears the screen}'' Simone, that'll be $7.50. And bring some paper towels. Eww. And some tweezers. I think I see a Fluffy Puff Nibblin in there.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about fourteen seconds, the cursor reappears and Strong Bad continues:}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{weakly}'' No, there's no Easter eggs. I... I'm not up to it. Go away.

===Footnote===
# This line, and the ones like it, may be "Hey, hey! Doot doo!"

== Fun Facts ==

===Strong Bad's Bottom 10===
*The bottom 10 as typed on the Lappy:

<blockquote class="lappy email">
1. Thcleaning up your own puke off the keyboard 
2. Songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's 
    as legit lyrics 
3. Giving chocloate  desserts dangerous names 
4. There was this one time I had to hug a tree 
5. Um...not pigeons 
6. Foul stench of wet The Cheat 
7. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food 
8. Emails with more than 1 fwd: or re: in the subject line 
9. That horrible painting in Strong Mad's closet 
10. Dry t-shirt contests</blockquote>

===Explanations===
*An email forwarded because it was "on the news" or "worth a shot" is a reference to a myriad of urban legends, in particular the [http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/billgate.asp something-for-nothing forward hoax].
*"Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food" include such items as Ritz [http://www.nabiscoworld.com/ritzbits/ Bits], M&M's [http://www.mms.com/us/about/products/minis/ Minis], Hershey's Bites, and M&M/Mars' Pop'ables.
* Real life "songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics" include "[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.lasso?id=713 Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye]" by [[Wikipedia:Steam (band)|Steam]], "[[Wikipedia:Hey Jude|Hey Jude]]" by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]], and [[Wikipedia:Cannibal & the Headhunters|Cannibal & the Headhunters]]' rendition of "[[Wikipedia:Land of a Thousand Dances|Land of a Thousand Dances]]". 
*Limozeen's song is likely a reference on the recent [[Wikipedia:Live 8|Live 8]] or older [[Wikipedia:Live Aid|Live Aid]] concerts/albums. The title "Feed the Childrens" is also similar to the "Feed the Children" songs played at these events.
*Chocolate desserts with dangerous names include desserts like [http://www.apricot.com/Food/DeathByChocolate.html Death by Chocolate], [http://www.aswaseattle.com/images/DA_ChocolateSuicide.jpg Chocolate Suicide], and [http://www.recipesource.com/desserts/chocolate/01/rec0144.html Chocolate Avalanche]. 

===Trivia===
*When viewing the Flash file, the sign on Strong Mad's closet reads "STRONG MAD RD."
*This is the first email without any clickable Easter eggs since Email #39, [[property of ones]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#wraith|wraith]]".
*This is the first time Strong Bad says "[[Shut up, lady]]!"

===Remarks===
*One of the two brownies pictured in Chocozuma's Revenge is [[Food Still In Peel or Package|still inside its wrapper]]. The [[pudding]] on top is also still in its container.
*Strong Bad possibly makes a grammatical error when he writes "la la's, na na's, and doot do's:" the use of apostrophes makes these words possessive, not plural, unless their coherence is threatened by the apostrophes' absence.
*Strong Bad tried to pass off nonsense words as legit lyrics in [[secret recipes]], [[local news]], [[action figure]], [[stupid stuff]], [[monument]], and [[colonization]] (Easter egg).
*Strong Bad can type with puke on his keyboard.
*Strong Bad refers to email with more than one "Fwd:" or "Re:" in the subject line. While this was once a common annoyance, many modern email clients and web email services are sophisticated enough to not prepend these to the subject line if already there.
*Strong Bad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling the audience that there's no Easter eggs.
*Strong Bad's opening song, "This email is making fun of you...", is rather ironic considering the subsequent email is making fun of Strong Bad.

===Goofs===
*When you click on the Lappy's screen, no ripples come up.
*When you see Strong Bad's list on his normal computer screen in the background, "chocolate" is incorrectly spelled as "chocloate".


===Glitches===
*At the end of the e-mail, the cursor disappears after Strong Bad has typed "I think I see a Fluffy Puff Nibblin in there." It reappears a few seconds before Strong Bad claims there are no Easter eggs.

===Inside References===
*The Marshie commercial pausing at the end is a reference to the [[Character Videos|character videos]].
*The mouth in the marshmallow eating diagram is adapted from [[english paper]] with the battery changed to a marshmallow.
*Homestar's [[buttdance]] is from his [[Homestar Runner#Character Video Transcript|character video]].
*Strong Bad also got the [[jibblies]] in [[your friends]] and [[date]], although not as severely.
*Strong Bad also asked for $7.50 in [[radio]].
*This is another occurence of [[puking]] on the site.
*The three chocolate desserts are examples of [[concoctions]].



===Real-World References===
*Chocolardiac Arrest is a reference to [[Wikipedia:cardiac arrest|cardiac arrest]], the cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract effectively.
*Chocozuma's Revenge is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Montezuma's Revenge|Montezuma's Revenge]], used today to describe travelers' illness, usually gastrointestinal. It was first coined during the Spanish conquest of the [[Wikipedia:Aztec|Aztecs]] in 1519–1520 by [[Wikipedia:Hernan Cortez|Hernán Cortés]]. The debilitating diarrhea that the conquistadors' troops suffered in the jungles of today's [[Wikipedia:Mexico|Mexico]] was attributed to the force of the deposed Aztec ruler, [[Wikipedia:Moctezuma II|Moctezuma II]].
**Chocolardiac and Chocozuma are both [[portmanteaus]].
*The Bottom Ten list is presented in the same manner as the [[Wikipedia:Top Ten|Top Ten list]] on [[Wikipedia:The Late Show with David Letterman|The Late Show with David Letterman]].
**The [[Podstar Runner]] summary for the e-mail is a reference to the way Letterman introduces his Top Ten list. [[wikipedia:Scottsdale, Arizona|Scottsdale, Arizona]] (misspelled with just one "t" in the summary) has, at one point, been an actual "[[wikipedia:Cities that have been David Letterman's Home Office|home office]]" of the list.
*The scene showing The Cheat wet and shivering insinuates that he dove into the glass of water from the ladder. This is most likely a reference to several older cartoons (such as [[Wikipedia:Bugs Bunny|Bugs Bunny]]) where a character did the same thing.

===Fast Forward===
*The Horrible Painting would reappear in pumpkin form in [[More Fan Costumes]], and as the major antagonist in [[Jibblies 2]].
*The Cheat is wet again in [[DNA Evidence]].
*Strong Bad himself would later sing a song with "Na Nas" as 'legit lyrics' in a song about the [[the S is for Sucks Dragon|S is for Sucks Dragon]] in [[Trogday 08]].
*The lady who says that a "Chocolardiac Arrest" is "sinful" would repeat her line in an Easter egg in the email [[buried]].

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

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]]. [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Karen Wagner]])

'''MIKE:''' We are joined by our sister, Karen Wagner, ''{pronounced in the German manner, with a V}'' famed, uh, composer. Karen Wagner.

'''KAREN:''' Also known as The Sister Chap who takes care everything at the Homestar Store.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. Thanks, Karen. Yeah, thanks Karen.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' You're welcome. And I've been bugging you guys forever to let me do the commentary for Bottom 10.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So, now's your chance. Make it count. Karen, go!

'''KAREN:''' Okay, I gotta tell you that I like this email. It's my favorite email—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' That's awesome, Karen! All right, Matt, so—

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Because—

'''MIKE:''' —what do you think about this email?

'''KAREN:''' ''Because it's so rich'' and that, that becomes a joke later on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad}'' Shut up, lady.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' You made, uh, there was an old-timey mustache guy that was the, uh, mascot for J. Stumblers originally, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really?

'''MATT:''' I think so. He was kinda like stumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Okay, right.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' The old-timey guy was like wooooah...

'''MIKE:''' Where is he?

'''MATT:''' I dunno. You just drew a picture. You probably got it somewhere.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' I love that monster. Especially—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That was based on a, um, painting that, uh, my friend Jason Fields had in college that his mom did that he had on the wall of this weird creepy goblin.

'''MATT:''' Well and the thing that it says is, uh, another, yet another thing we owe my friend Neil thousands of dollars for because it's idea number twenty-two that came from Neil. Uh, was— It's the voice of a rocoulm, which is a crook or a criminal and he's a creepy guy that hides in an alley and when you walk by, he says "Come on in here..."

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' And then you go in there and he mugs you or something.

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, that is one of the things to contribute to, attribute to Neil.

''{Marshie comes on}''

'''KAREN:''' Yep, here's another reason why it's ''so rich'' is because it has a little commercial here with um, Marshie and, uh—

'''MATT and MIKE:''' Nibbles.

'''KAREN:''' Nibbles.

'''MIKE:''' Nibbles I made years ago and it was sitting around not being used for anything for a couple years.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think it got— It reached new lows when M&Ms, when there's a mini-M&M. M&Ms are very small.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''KAREN:''' To begin with.

'''MATT:''' Or like Oreo minis. Or like, Ritz Bits, I feel like were one of the first things. It was just like, but it's a cracker! It's like one and a half inches around, like it's this tiny thing that— If you can't eat that in a bite, then something is wrong with you.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Too much mouth strain.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. If you are suppose to eat, uh, you know, pieces of sushi that are five times the size of a Ritz Bit in one bite.

'''KAREN:''' Then you can certain eat a whole Ritz in one bite.

'''MATT:''' Exactly.

'''KAREN:''' Okay. All right.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Was that you doing that pigeon voice?

'''KAREN:''' You guys gotta shut up because I've got to tell you a story about this. You know [[Little Girl]] and I have incorporated this little bit into our daily lives. You do, you add any verb at all. "Keep on doing it. Do it! Do it down!" ''{laughs}'' And Chris hates it.

''{all laugh}''

'''KAREN:''' Okay, here's another thing I gotta tell you guys about. Because this is ''{pause}'' what everybody has to say when there is a rich dessert in front you. You have to say, "Oh, this is rich."

'''MATT:''' Usually, a cheesecake.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''KAREN:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' This was really fun to make, though. We went over to our— to [[Ryan Sterritt|Ryan]]'s house, actually one night. We just went to the store and bought like 20 dollars worth of chocolate stuff—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' —and started piling it on. And then, it was actually really good. We ate it all afterwards.

'''MATT:''' Afterwards, we all ate it.

'''MIKE:''' It was really good. And—

'''KAREN:''' And here's another rich part of this. It's got an appearance by Limozeen.

'''MATT:''' It's true. It's kind of a best, a best of.

'''KAREN:''' And, you know, you got the, um, necessary little a cappella part there.

'''MIKE:''' The breakdown.

'''MATT:''' It just gets the whole crowd, you know.

'''KAREN:''' Clapping at the same time.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The lights are like flashing along.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' The lights flash.

'''KAREN:''' Okay, here's another reason—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I forgot what it is. Oh, yeah.

'''KAREN:''' And the fact that there is another appearance of the Buttdance, you know, she just loves it.

'''MATT:''' It's like—

'''MIKE:''' Let's twist again, like we did last summer. It's a sequel to the song.

'''KAREN:''' Like the rhythm's down your pants.

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of, uh, gross, um, vomit related jokes on our website.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' I feel like there are. We should probably curb that.

'''MIKE:''' There's— I don't think they're gross. You don't even see it.

'''MATT:''' That's true. We always—

'''KAREN:''' What other one are you talking about?

'''MATT:''' There's, uh, the [[Radio Stations and Shows#The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew|Stoops and Gusso logo]], one of them is just throwing up.

'''MATT:''' One them—

'''MATT:''' One them has an arrow through their head and one of them is puking. That's what the morning crew is all about.

'''KAREN:''' Oh, and now the one with, uh, Strong Bad says he's—

'''MIKE:''' It's over.

'''KAREN:''' Okay. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' That's when— When, the paper comes down, you always gotta end it.

'''MATT:''' No wait. Wait!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, is this— Is it still going?

'''KAREN:''' Oh, right, no easter eggs. He's too, he's not up to it. He's not up to it.

'''MATT:''' Hurry up, say what you're gonna say!

'''KAREN:''' Oh, I forget.

'''MIKE:''' Good job.

Talk:Senor Mortgage

Bluebry — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 02:19:43 GMT

Bluebry: /* This might sound kind of stupid, but... */ reply

You know, I think that this is just how Strong Bad imagines Senor Cardgage ending up. That would explain why he looks like Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad, and also why the Visor Robot is there, seeing as how the Visor Robot's only other appearances have been fictitious and have been created by Strong Bad and The Cheat(Strong Bad imagined him in [[Homestarloween Party]], he drew him in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]], and The Cheat animated him in [[Everybody to the Limit]].)

I think its awesome! there are so many cheesy mortgage compnaies, and now internet sites out there that promise everything. Check out [http://www.mortgageleadmarket.com Mortgage Lead Market] I had a guy from there give me his schpiel yesterday! Keep the humor coming. It allows us to deal with it all...

== Every welcome? ==

I'm pretty sure he says "You're EVER welcome, Valerie" not "You're EVERY welcome" →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 10:17, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Chick Fil-A? ==

I could have sworn he said "Cheap Fillet" or even Cheat Fillet.

:Chick Fil-A is an actual restaurant chain. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 07:34, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Funny, I originally heard it as "The Cheat" or something. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 23:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== Navigation Bar? ==

"This 'toon is one of the last ones to have the old non-flash Navigation Bar."

It is? I wasn't able to access it. --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]][[User_talk:Homsar999|ß]] 19:10, 29 Apr 2005 (CDT)

:Access it? It's there. Perhaps you don't understand. The Brothers Chaps used to widely use JavaScript within the HTML of every page on the site to make the link for the Main Page random. You can see the script in the source code of the Senor Mortgage page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:20, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Oh! I thought it meant navigation bar like in A Jorb Well Done. --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]][[User_talk:Homsar999|ß]] 22:00, 29 Apr 2005 (CDT)
==Closed STUFF==
===Potential reference===
The phone number 555-55-55855-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY could be a potential reference to a phone number in [[wikipedia:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]], which is 1-555-55-5-55555-555-5555.
*'''Decline.''' The whole point of the bit was to lampoon poorly made advertisments run in the middle of the day when few people are watching TV. These commercials typically end in some anoyingly [[wikipedia:jingle|catchy jingle]] that includes the toll- free phone number, which more often than not has the name of the business embedded among a series of repeating or sequential numbers. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 11:30, 2 May 2005 (PDT)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:34, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' "Potential reference"! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Tehngion|Tehngion]] 19:10, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Agh! "Could be"! --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 20:33, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' If it's a could be, then it's not really a fun fact. It's just guessing. [[User:Ramrod|Ramrod]] 02:46, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*The too long phone number gag is not exclusive to ''Hitchhikers''. '''Decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Declined''' One is not a reference to the other. Both are a seperately reference to the fact that in old movies, phone numbers always started with 555- (since no area in the US at that time had that prefix). Another words, it's a coincidence. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 12:42, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''This fun fact is OVERRR!!!''' Seriously, "could-be's" are not cool. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:44, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Deep-42'd.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 21:32, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''TWO'nd!'''As much as I like H2G2, I have to disagree. [[User:TakuaKaita600|TK600]] 23:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*DECLINED! - [[User:Technochocolate|T.C.]]
*'''2nd'd!''' How thick can you get? "This is a potential reference to HG2G" was an example of a pathstic fun fact!!-Alice
*'''STRONG Accept''' unless someone can come up with another example (outside of HHG and Senor Mortgage) of a gag phone number with a ridiculous number of 5's in it. I'm pretty sure I never saw such a thing before Senor Mortgage. So I would say that this is very unlikely to be a coincidence. - Dingell
**Well I STRONGLY suspect that the reason there are a STRONG number of fives in the name is because there's STRONG evidence to point to the STRONG fact that fictional phone numbers have three STRONG "5"s in the name, and it's a STRONG inclination to just stick a bunch of "5"s if you want to be STRONGLY funny. '''STRONG DECLINE, so says STRONG BAD''' [[User:Dasrik|STRONG Dasrik]] 01:14, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
:*'''Comment''' Actually, I remember when I was about 4 years old, there was a phon number on Sesame Street that was fives. Plus, I think this is just a goof on the long and hard to rememebr phone numbers companies give you (There's an 8 somewhere in the middle of Senor's) -- [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
*'''DENIAL''': I was a writer on ''"The Bozo Show"'' on WGN-TV in the mid-1990's, and we used a joke that started "The number is 555-5555, and remember, the third number's a 3." --[[User:James Craven|James Craven]] 1:11 AM ET May 13 2005
:*'''Comment''' 555-5555 is a normal seven-digit phone number. Senor Mortgage's phone number is clearly exaggerated in length, which is the main part of the joke. Yes, 555-5555 and similar numbers are used all the time in media, but that's not all that's being referenced here. - Dingell
:**Yes it is. Deal with it. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 23:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
:***With that sort of reasoning on your side, how could one disagree? Of course, the length of the phone number isn't at all meant to be a joke... maybe Mike and Matt actually thought that phone numbers are 31 digits long. Or maybe one of them fell asleep at the keyboard with his finger on the "5" key. Those scenarios are about as likely as this reference NOT being true. - Dingell
:****Well you're losing anyway, so who cares. Your logic amounts to a "could be" and everyone knows by now how I feel about those. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 20:49, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
:*****And you're being a jerk Dasrik. Anyway he's at least right that the length is a joke. But I would say it's not a reference to the number above ecause it's a different length, if it were the same length, then maybe. -- [[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
:******Thanks, I agree. Let's end it on this. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*Arthur De-cli-nt! Guh, no. [[User:señor|»ßenit, known as señor«]] 15:33, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
*Decline The 2 numbers are not the same length. -- [[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*Possibly Second? I'm not so sure on the subject. Has anyone tried calling it before? -Sb100

==Microsoft sam==

I think that the brothers chaps used the voice of microsoft sam as the voice, does anyone else think it's something else? [[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 14:16, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Fun Fact to be removed/changed==

*''The character that appears in this short is Senor Cardgage, who is not to be confused with [[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]]. This is acknowledged by its description in the [[TV Time Toons Menu]]: "Wait, is Senor Cardgage real!?!"''

This doesn't make sense, because that link just redirects to the Senor Cardgage page. I think maybe it was decided that they are one person and this page was just never updated to reflect that? This fact needs to be removed or changed in some way, and I'm really not sure what would be the best way to do it, so... Can somebody take care of that? -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 06:13, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I have updated the wording. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:21, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, they used to have seperate pages at one point. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Another fun fact that got changed is, "Senor Cardgage calls the robot Valerie because of his habit of treating everyone like females, even though they're not, as Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad does in [[kind of cool]]." As [[User:Jay|Jay]] mentioned, we'd decided not to use the term "Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad" and so he changed it to "he". The only places on the wiki that still use that term are the kind of cool and [[Senor Cardgage]] page. The transcript for kind of cool uses "Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad" because it's been written from a standpoint that was supposed to be taken in 2003. (At that point, [[The Brothers Chaps]] didn't know that the guy with the creepy comb-over and beer belly was Senor Cardgage.) [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 12:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:''Wait. Is Senor Cardgage real!?'' I think at one point, there was a link provided by [[The Paper]], reminding that his ''real'' name is Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad. It probably got removed because TBC were forced to admit to themselves that he became a bona fide separate character. —[[User:Brian Barbera|Brian Barbera]] 00:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Yep, they made him a real character. He is apparently the creepy old guy from the Strong family's youth. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 00:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

==What happened to my contributions?==

I added stuff like the percent signs being a reference to interest rates and the "NOT APPROVED" sound being similar to the "DELETED" sound. What happened?
:The sound's not that similar, and the others are explaining the joke. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::That was edit summary of me and It's dot com's revertions. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

== Are you having trouble buying a hotel or something? ==

Anyone think the "house" in the beginning looks an awful lot like a blue Monopoly hotel? [[User:Coveredinharmony|CoveredinSuudzu]] 02:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[http://www.tomgpalmer.com/images/Monopoly%20Hotel.jpg Monopoly hotel]

:Monopoly hotels are red, and have a cupola or something like that centered on the peak. This blue house (referred to as a house) has a chimney not centered on the peak. Other dissimilarities occur as well. I don't think this'd be a notable observation. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::True, and it looks nothing like a monopoly hotel. Other than that, spot on! {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

==Not a Robot==

Should there be something in real world references about "Not a robot!" referring to commercials that say "Not an actor", or is this too obvious? --[[User:12.217.241.197|12.217.241.197]] 03:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm, I think that could be useful info; especially if someone's not familiar with those types of commercials... go ahead and add it to the article, if you like. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Upside down hair ==

inbetween frame 725 to 729 (as he turns his head). Senor's hair flip's vertically then does a complete 180 degree turn. Can anyone explain this or should it be added to goofs? [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 11:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:That's already listed under [[Senor Mordgage#Remarks|Remarks]]... given they made it bounce a little when flipping sides, I don't think it was unintentional, and thus it doesn't belong in Goofs. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

== This might sound kind of stupid, but... ==

I know it's a 555 number, but is it possible to remark what would really happen if someone actually dialed the 31 digit telephone number? If not, then what about 1-555-555-5855, coming from '''555-55-55855'''-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY? Considering that 1-555 doesn't appear to be a regional area code...and even if I picked up the phone, someone would still have to back up such a claim.
:From Wikipedia: "In fact, only 555-0100 through 555-0199 are now specifically reserved for fictional use". So by dialing 555-555-5855, you'll probably get an answer. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 02:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', is the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]]. It was originally a small feature introduced in 2001, in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. Although the animations were initially brief, the responses gradually grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], and [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], like [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email will include numerous [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[action figure]], [[japanese cartoon]], and [[isp]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

==Not Quite Strong Bad Emails==

The following shorts were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails. They are numbered by halves to show where they appeared chronologically in the list above. Numbers 99½B, 118½, and 158½ are not linked to from anywhere on the site.

==Strong Bad Email Menus==

*1–32 [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail_first.html Tandy 400 menu]
*33–34 [[Broken Tandy Menu]]
*35–40 [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail_youguysokay.html Slightly damaged Tandy menu]
*41 [[HR:sbemail(vacation).swf|Vacation menu]]
*42–118 [[HR:sbemail.swf|Compy 386 menu]]
**Between 55 and 56 [[Decemberween Email Menu]]
**Between 118 and 119 [[Broken Compy Menu]]
*119–Current [[HR:sbemail_lappy.swf|Lappy 486 menu]]

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 224 emails as of [[love poems]].
*It would take 9 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 18 minutes, and 36 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[HR:rando.xml|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], and [[redesign]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]]
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], and [[retirement|retirement B]], when the Lappy was kidnapped, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all my glorious D's]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. He also does not get on well with old people or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at his second secret home where he goes by the name Vance Mudgeman. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Badia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several wooden props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|With both eyes shut]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to become more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.
*Strong Bad's head moves around a lot more when he speaks facing away from the camera than when he speaks facing towards it. This is true even when he [[Main Page 23|thinks he is facing the camera]].
*As of 18 March 2007, Strong Bad has the highest complete filmography of all the characters on the website, appearing in 320 toons.
**Of all the characters' lines on the website, he also has the most lines and the largest collection of [[Quote of the Week|quotes]] for a character.
*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.
*Strong Bad has a [["Er" pronounced as "oi"|habit]] of pronouncing certain words with an "uhr" sound the way a stereotypical New Yorker would pronounce them (e.g. he says "soivice" instead of "service" in [[lackey]]).
*As evidenced in [[from work]] and [[business trip]], Strong Bad is currently employed.
*At his fastest, Strong Bad types approximately 240 [[Wikipedia:Typing#Words per Minute|words per minute]] (in a segment in [[death metal]]).

'''Date:''' Monday, December 9, 2002

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': Augh. ''{smacks mouth}'' My mouth tastes like... emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad- 
 
Whats up? What is your morning 
routine? 
 
Mike S. 
Gibsonia, Pa</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "routine" as "Ha-routine," and says "Pa" as "P-A"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Mike, as you know, the morning routine is the most important routine of the day.

''{cut to Strong Bad sleeping on the couch, mumbling}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}''

''{Strong Sad walks up}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Hey Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Wake up!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I wanna watch that show on public broadcasting hosted by that British guy.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}'' 

'''STRONG SAD''': You told me not to let you sleep past noon!

'''STRONG BAD''': Super Bomberman...

'''STRONG SAD''': Wake up!

''{Strong Bad gets up from the couch, and we see that one of his hands is inside a bag of Potate brand potato chips. He starts walking off, slouching. He walks up to the computer and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Augh. ''{smacks mouth}'' My mouth tastes like...emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad- 
 
Whats up? What is your morning 
routine? 
 
Mike S. 
Gibsonia, Pa</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "routine" as "Ha-routine," and says "Pa" as "P-A."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Mike, as you know, the morning routine is the most important routine of the day. The "R" in routine stands for r ''(says "rrrrrrrrrr" then gets interrupted)''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{offscreen}'' Hey Strong Bad! ''{Strong Bad turns to see Strong Sad standing there}'' I found this egg in the couch. Is this yours?

'''STRONG BAD''': Yes, it's very fragile. Put it down.

''{Strong Sad puts down the egg and walks off. Strong Bad resumes typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' So anyways, Mike, as I was saying, The "R" in routine stands for ''(types "r", but doesn't say anything)''

'''STRONG SAD''': Strong Bad, I found what I believe to be a goose egg in the couch.

'''STRONG BAD''': Thank you, Interrupter Jones. That is also my egg. Now put it down.

''{Strong Sad puts it down, and Strong Bad resumes typing again}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Sorry about that, Mike. So, the "R"

'''STRONG SAD''': Here's a duck egg, a nuthatch egg, ostrich egg, maybe a dinosaur egg, one of those brown eggs...

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you trying to say, Strong Sad? So I got a lotta eggs. And I keep 'em in the couch.

'''STRONG SAD''': There needs to be a better word for "weird".

''{The Cheat runs onscreen with underwear on his head and Strong Mad in pursuit}''

'''STRONG MAD''': MY PANTIES! MY PANTIES!

''{they run off}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Okay. I'm moving out.

''{Strong Sad walks off, Strong Bad resumes typing}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Fine with me, Strong Sad. I mean Mike. I mean whatever.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, you can click on where it says "COMPY 386" to see some of [[Strong Bad's EGGS|Strong Bad's "eggs"]]. The box of Strong Bad's "eggs" has the following phrases on it.
**Strong Bad's EGGS brand type [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]]
**"nut-hatch" eggs
**"goose" eggs
**"brown" eggs
**"duck" eggs
**A nutritious part of your morning routine.
**side words
**0 mg (listed seven times as the only content of the nutritional table)
**Ingredients: eggs, eggs, eggs, two more eggs

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*[[Potate]] is introduced in this email.
*The [[Couch Mumbling]] gag begins in this email.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#lode runner|lode runner]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad manages to type wearing not only [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|boxing gloves]], but also the potato chip bag. He may have typed one handed like he did in [[tape leg]], though in that email he typed with just his right hand (for a short while). If he wasn't typing with the potate bag, he must have been using his left hand. It is possible Strong Bad is ambidextrous.
*Strong Sad mentions seven eggs, but finds nine.
*Apparently Strong Bad's [[computer room]] was supposed to be in [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]] next to [[the couch]]; this concept seems to have been abandoned (see [[Arcade Game]]).
**It is also possible that Strong Bad may have used the Basement's second exit to reach the computer room.
*When the singers on the TV stop singing, you can hear [[Matt Chapman]] saying, "That's enough, [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]."

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad sits down at the computer to answer his email, the reflection of his face can be seen outside of the monitor on the right side momentarily.
*As Strong Bad is shown walking to the Compy after waking up, the underscore at the end of "a>_" isn't flashing like it usually would.
*When Strong Sad is done placing the eggs on the table next to Strong Bad, the text on the Compy looks different. Half of it is not shown, because it is behind Strong Bad's head. (When Strong Bad types it, the "a>" is gone, and the word first paragraph is spaced differently; the second "routine" and the word "stands" are on the previous lines, there's no underscore after the lowercase "r", "rountine" is spelled correctly, and there's a period and the word "So" after the last "Mike".)

<blockquote class="compy email">
Mike, as you know, the morning 
routine is the most important 
routine of the day. The "R" in routine 
stands for r_ 
So anyways, Mike, as I was saying, 
The "R" in rountine stands for r 
Sorry about that, Mike, the "R"</blockquote>

*The [[Wikipedia:ostrich|ostrich]] egg should be much larger in relation to the others, as the ostrich lays the largest eggs of any living bird species. It should also be white.
*The "nut-hatch" egg should be written as "[[wikipedia:Nuthatch|nuthatch]]," without the hyphen.
*When Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad for the last time, the left side of the monitor appears to be slightly jagged.

===Inside References===
*This email makes numerous references to [[eggs]].
*This email has an appearance of the [[couch mumbling]] gag.

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:Bomberman|Super Bomberman]]'' is a game for the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] from the early '90s.
*The tune playing on the [[Telebision|TV set]] while Strong Bad is waking up is the theme song from ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124265/ Voyage of the Mimi]'', an educational TV show from the 1980s featuring [[Wikipedia:Ben Affleck|Ben Affleck]]. This is probably what Strong Sad wanted to watch.
*Interrupter Jones is a play on [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]], the main character of a popular series of adventure films.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad's line at the beginning, "[[My mouth tastes like...]] emails," is later reused during the CGI sequence on the first disc of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]], but instead, says, "My mouth tastes like... DVDs." He says "My mouth tastes like... backwards" in [[mini-golf]].
*The phrase "the R in routine" is used later in [[Authorless Books|a book title]] in the email [[rampage|rampage]].
*Strong Mad chases The Cheat again in a [[rampage#Easter Eggs|rampage Easter egg]].
*Strong Bad sells the eggs for $54 in [[garage sale]] which also happens to be the number of this email.
*The term "Two more eggs" (which is in the ingredients on the Easter Egg cereal box) is on a post-it on a fridge later in [[pop-up]].
*Strong Bad would discover one six years later in [[Rotten Eggs]].

Bluebry: Moar liek "Misspelled Jones", amirite?

[[Image:mashedpotatojones.PNG|thumb|Mashed Potato Jones is on the case!]]
'''[[Wikipedia:Jones|Jones]]''' is a fairly common surname in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]; furthermore, it appears to be a synonym for a [http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/jones craving].

==Appearances==
*[[Thorax Corporation]] — Patricia Delabor-Jones is one of The Delabor Family.
*Email [[morning routine]] — Strong Bad refers to [[Strong Sad]] as "Interrupter Jones" after his constant [[egg]]-related interruptions.
*[[Peasant's Quest]] — [[Rather Dashing]] is referred to as Misspeller Jones.
*[[Halloween Fairstival]] — [[The King of Town]] asks [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] if either of them "got a wicked mashed potato jones". Strong Bad remarks that Mashed Potato Jones is a fella he'd like to meet.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — Homestar Runner asks Strong Bad, "Essence of busted old TVs? 'Cuz I got a serious jones!"
*[[Sketchbook 2004#SK-2004-11-08|Sketchbook]] — a sketch of Mashed Potato Jones was featured on November 8, 2004.

HRWiki:Validation committee

Bluebry — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:38:55 GMT

Bluebry: And then there were 20...

This committee helps to ensure that all wiki pages validate as proper XHTML and CSS. This means stripping out bad code, replacing it with good code, and helping to educate our community on what tags can and can't be used in valid code.

== First order of business — font tags ==
There are many <nowiki>text</nowiki> tags hanging out here and there. Many people are using them in their sigs. Since font tags are allowed in XHTML 1.0 Transitional, it's okay if people want to continue using them, but they should make sure to enclose the color declaration in quotation marks to keep things valid. However, we should try to switch to everyone to <nowiki>text</nowiki>. This method is much more forward compatible.

== Second order of business — tag ordering ==
Another major problem that people tend to do is end their tags in the wrong order. For example, someone might put <nowiki>''[[Homestar Runner'']]</nowiki>. This causes major issues with XHTML (or any HTML for that matter) and should be rectified to <nowiki>''[[Homestar Runner]]''</nowiki>.

== Firefox validation extension ==
For those who use [http://www.getfirefox.com Mozilla Firefox], there's a great extension for validating pages on the fly. It's called [http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/ HTML Validator]. This should be helpful in patrolling the wiki for invalid markup, and is recommended for all validation committee members who use Firefox.

== Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar ==
Similar functionality can be enabled in Internet Explorer by using the [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en Developer Toolbar]. It does, however, only use the W3C Online Validator, albeit a bit more convenient.

== Opera validation ==
The [http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/ Opera browser] also has simular functionality, simply right click on the page, and select 'validate' and you will be transfered to a W3C page detailing the results of the validation.

== Online Validator ==
Pages may be validated online using the {{pl|l=http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hrwiki.org%2Findex.php%2FHRWiki%3AValidation_committee W3C Validation Tool}}.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Gropin' around in the dark, tryin' ta find an email! Da-da-da-blue-got-an-dow!  ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: Another Actor</div>
Hails and Horns Strong Bad ,\m/ 
Have you ever been watching your favorite shows and 
sequels, and suddenly realized that your favorite character 
has been unscrupulously replaced with another actor? 
Nicholas & Antonio 
Lansing, Michigan
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad makes a rock-ish scream in place of the emoticon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you guys are really asking me that? We do that to you people all the time. There've been like twelve King of Towns. ''{clears screen}'' And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in front of Bubs' Concession Stand. A silhouette resembling Bubs is seen in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi, Original Bubs! How's original business?

''{Cut to in front of the stand. The character behind the counter only vaguely resembles Bubs; his head is dark blue and shaped as though it has hair, both of his eyes are the same shape and size, and his teeth are straight. His body is solid orange and hunched over. He has visible rectangular hands that are the same color as his face. "BY ORIGINAL BUBS" is seen on the stand's sign. Two papers are taped to the stand that read "CHEAP THRILLS!" and "CHEAPER TRICKS!"}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' ''{his voice is lower-pitched than Bubs's and not as gravelly; openings form in his mouth as he speaks}'' Hey, Homestar. I can see you from here! ''{holds his hands apart}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's some great eyesight, Original Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But it wasn't all good eyesight and cheap prices.

''{The screen becomes inverted grayscale and spooky music starts. The camera zooms in on Original Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Behind the scenes lay a thick bubbling pit of crude turmoil!

''{As the colors return to normal, the scene cuts to the King of Town and Original Bubs standing behind a table with an iced tea container, paper cups, a box of [[Swiss Cake Rolls]], and a Tupperware box of a white substance. Original Bubs is pointing at the Tupperware box with an angry expression.}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' Who ate all the mayo off of my egg salad?! ''{looks to the camera, surprised}'' And how?!

''{When the King of Town starts talking, Original Bubs glares at him}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a proprietary technique I can't reveal!

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' This is the first and last straw! ''{points at the King of Town}'' I'm outta here, you amateurs! ''{pokes the King of Town's face twice on "you amateurs!"}''

''{Original Bubs, still pointing, walks away while amateurish music plays. For the first time, his bottom half is revealed. It is gray and similarly-shaped to Bubs's legs, but with tiny legs and pointed in the wrong direction from his upper body. There is no green stripe. He walks offscreen. Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' With Original Bubs' ''{pronounced "Bubs's"}'' future uncertain, we had to come up with some pretty creative ways to write him into stories, so that viewers didn't know he was gone.

''{Cut to Original Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar and Strong Bad are standing in front of it wearing lederhosen. Behind the counter is a large cardboard box that reads "FRIDGERATE AGAIN".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that refrigerator box, says ''I'' won the yodeling contest.

''{Static briefly appears, and the scene cuts to one with Homestar and Strong Bad, dressed like Canadian Mounties, speaking to a box labeled "DEESH WARSH". The trees have changed to their fall colors.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that dishwasher box...

''{More static, cutting to a closeup of Homestar in a poncho and sombrero, with a box that reads "KLEENLOAD" behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that washer/dryer box...

''{More static. Now Homestar is wearing a Russian police uniform, and the box reads "HOT2O". It is nighttime, and the landscape is covered in snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...that hot water heater box...

''{More static. Homestar wears an African dashiki, and the stand has an upside-down shoe box labeled "[[freshley's]]" with a tower made out of toothpicks on top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that... ''{clearly confused}'' toothpick sculpture?

''{More static, cutting to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once it became apparent that Original Bubs was gone for good, there was an interim period of rotating guest Bubs. Like when talk show hosts have surgery, or go to jail.

''{Cut to the inside of Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar walks up. The person behind the counter is Senor Cardgage wearing an orange shirt with a green stripe across it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, Senator Cardgage Bubs, lemme get a manila cheese Coke!

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Oh...

''{Cut to the front of the stand.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I should eat a pony.

''{Homestar flinches with surprise. Static cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat at the stand, with Crack Stuntman playing Bubs. The sign has "CRACK STUNT" posted over the word "ORIGINAL".}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{pops up from behind the counter, Strong Bad jumps in surprise}'' BLAAAAAAAAAAH!! What can I get? For you fine gentlemen?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Never mind, Crack Stunt-Bubs.

''{Cut to a closeup.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Oh... I should eat a pony.

''{Strong Bad flinches with surprise. The scene darkens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget fan favorite,

''{Cut to an onion with Bubs's face drawn on it sitting on the stand's counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Onion Bubs.

''{A crowd can be heard cheering, with one voice screaming "Onion Bubs!" over and over. Static cuts back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Finally, we had to settle on a little known Bubs with zero experience. And it's been downhill ever since.

'''BUBS:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Ahem.

''{Cut back to show Bubs looking at Strong Bad angrily. He has the ends of his arms curled up as though they are fists and is waving them menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hey, New Bubs.

'''BUBS:''' We're gonna need a new Strong Bad in about two seconds!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reminiscing}'' Yeah, Original Bubs used to threaten me like that. It just doesn't sound the same coming out of you.

''{Bubs punches Strong Bad in the face four times and puts his hands on his hips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, Original Bubs used to pummel me senseless like that. It just doesn't sound—

''{Bubs holds up his right "fist" menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!

'''BUBS:''' You tell these people ''I'm'' the original Buh... b'zuh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! You're the original Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Bubs, no longer angry and looking at the camera.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's right! ''{The background turns orange and the following words appear above him:}'' 100% All Original Bubs! ''{And the following words appear below him:}'' If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!

''{He puts the ends of his arms into his armpits as a demonstration. The camera closes out to encircle Bubs's face with a blue background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' 100% all original Bubs! If he had thumbs, he'd be sticking 'em up his armpits right now! ''{queasy}'' Uhhhhh...

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But we really do replace people. Take the New Paper, for instance. Come on, New Paper, disappoint me!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down with a long "vvvvvvt" and the entire page falls off the top of the screen with an "eangt".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoop! Ahh, when it comes to disappointin', you never disappoint.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "replace people" to see a field full of King of Town graves, including one for "Onion King of Town", which replaces the grave for "King of Town IV".
*At the end, click on the word "downhill" to see a short scene with Homestar Runner and Marzipan.
:''{Open at the Field. Homestar Runner is standing with a can by his feet}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sigh}''
:''{Homestar Runner kicks the can to the right of screen as Marzipan enters}''
:'''MARZIPAN:''' What's the matter, Homestar?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I miss Original Bubs.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, Strong Bad made all that stuff up.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You can't make up eyesight that good. ''{Marzipan stares flatly}'' He could always see me ''{sobbing}'' from over there.

==Fun Facts ==
===Explanation===
*The ,\m/ emoticon is intended to represent the "[[Wikipedia:Corna|rock horns]]".
*Bubs' line, "If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!" is in jest of a gesture sometimes referred to as the "[[Wikipedia:Type of gesture#The "peacock"|peacock]]", in which a person, in smugness or self-pride, hooks his or her thumbs behind his or her [[Wikipedia:Suspenders|suspenders]], regardless of whether they are being worn or not.

=== Trivia ===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#SWOTL|SWOTL]]".
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad discusses Original Bubs".

===Remarks===
*Onion Bubs has differently-shaped eyes, like the real Bubs, instead of two identical eyes like Original Bubs, on which it was supposed to be based.
**In a similar vein, Senor Cardgage is wearing a green belt, and Crack Stuntman is wearing a green undershirt; Bubs's green belt is a feature not present on Original Bubs.
*[[New Paper]]'s "Click here to email Strong Bad" link is fully functional until it falls off the screen.
* In the [[TV Time Toons Menu]]'s [[HR:menuswfs/menu sbemail177.swf|preview of the e-mail]], The Lappy's screen has nothing on it, and is missing its usual reflection.

===Goofs===
[[Image:neck disconnected - original.png|thumb|[[Disconnected]] again?]]
*On the second punch (when Strong Bad's head pops up) his head is for a very brief moment disconnected, mainly around at the right side of the neck.
*At the line "And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?", if you listen closely, you can hear a short "skip" in the sound between the end of the previous sentence, and the beginning of this one. This may be due to [[Matt Chapman]] recording the sentences separately.
**This also happens when Strong Bad says "pretty creative ways to write him into stories", between the words "to" and "write".

===Inside References===
[[Image:Sketchbook_Eleven.PNG|thumb|Original Bubs (in the bottom left corner)]]
*Homestar's lederhosen are from [[Main Page 2]].
*Original Bubs resembles a preliminary sketch of Bubs as seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook in the Museum]].
*The "original" Bubs' Concession Stand sign is similar to the design used in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]].
*Bubs saying that he has no thumbs is a reference to his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Other|lack of visible fingers]].
*The premise of this email, that Bubs is a character in what equates to a TV show, is a [[fourth wall break]].
*The items at the back of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] on this toon is the same one from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. Crack Stuntman's line "What can I get for you fine gentlemen?" echoes Bubs' similar line from the same toon.
*Homestar [[Kicking a Can|kicks a can]] in an Easter Egg.

===Real-World References===
*This email spoofs the [[Wikipedia:List of television show casting changes#Named forms of casting change|Darrin syndrome]], when an actor in a series is replaced without explanation, a prominent example being the replacement of [[Wikipedia:Dick York|Dick York]] with [[Wikipedia:Dick Sargent|Dick Sargent]] in the role of Darrin Stevens on ''[[Wikipedia:Bewitched|Bewitched]]''. Similarly to in the email, shortly after York left the show but before Sargent took his place, Darrin was frequently referred to but was never present on screen.
*Homestar asking Senor Cardgage for manila cheese Coke is a play on the various flavored colas, especially [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Vanilla|Vanilla Coke]].

History according to Strong Bad

Bluebry — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:25:31 GMT

Bluebry: rv - the old version had incorrect grammar

{{cleanup}}
[[Image:Strongbadianthanksgiving.png|250px|thumb|right|Mysterious myths or legendary legends?]]
'''History according to Strong Bad''' is a tricky thing. A lot of the time, [[Strong Bad]] presents historical fact elements that are either [[Blatant Lies|clearly false]] or that can't be verified. When relating legends, he often parodies actual historical storytelling techniques or attempts to [[Wikipedia:Historical revisionism (negationism)|revise history]] to make himself look better. He has also, on occasion, told what he has assured are future events, no matter how unlikely or far-fetched.

==Examples of history according to Strong Bad==

===[[personal favorites]]===
Strong Bad is asked which Strong Bad Email is his favorite. Although Strong Bad says "[his] emails are like [his] childrens" (he loves them all), he proceeds to name his "personal favorites." While the first two emails he mentions ([[invisibility]] and [[gimmicks]]) exist, the rest have never been seen elsewhere. These emails include [[Bubs]] building a [[Grape-Nuts Robot|Strong Bad Robot]], Strong Bad "flying" [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] while drunk on soy sauce, and [[Pom Pom]] and [[Coach Z]] knife-fighting on the [[The Stone Bridge|stone bridge]]. As a result, so many viewers have tried to find the nonexistent emails that an answer was added to the site's [[FAQ]] on the matter.

===[[2 years]]===
Strong Bad is asked what the greatest advancement in [[Strong Badia]] will be in the next two years. Strong Bad proclaims that by 2005, the population of Strong Badia will have tripled from "Population: [[Tire]]" to "Population: Tire, Bundt Cake Pan, and Coach Z." He also predicts that the [[Stop Sign]] and the [[Cinder Block]] will break up. Strong Badia will have developed a world-class hole, [[The Cheat]] will finish painting a mural reading "Fireworks or Die", the tire will have beat [[Strong Mad]] to "the title", and Strong Sad will become more whiny. As of this moment, none of these have come true.

===[[couch patch]]===
Strong Bad, [[Strong Sad]], [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and Coach Z all offer their respective memories of how the patch of tape appeared on the couch in the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]]. Strong Bad claims it's there because he cut the couch open to make a hiding place for his "[[Aztec]] [[gold]]" (actually oil filters), but the inside of the couch smelled horrible, so he taped over the cut to stop the smell. Strong Sad claims to remember a [[Little Strong Bad|young Strong Bad]] thinking that Olympic sprinter [[Wikipedia:Carl Lewis|Carl Lewis]] was both a woman and hot, writing so on the couch, and taping it over to cover it up. Homestar tries to provide an explanation, but forgets what the subject of the conversation was, and instead recalls spitting [[Teddy Grahams]] at the ceiling. Coach Z claims he vomited in a rip in the couch after Strong Bad served him bad gumbo, and taped it up to hide the evidence.

===[[colonization]]===
Strong Bad explains Strong Badia's origins. Portraying himself as a [[Wikipedia:Pilgrims|Pilgrim]] persecuted by Strong Sad for his [[egg]]-ketchuping ways, he describes leaving [[Free Country, USA]] to set up a new colony in an empty lot behind the dumpsters, owned by Bubs, who is portrayed as a Native-American-like "strange man who had strange ways and strange odors". They celebrate Strong Badia's first Thanksgiving at a nearby picnic table with some leftover [[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] burgers.

===[[flashback]]===
Strong Bad tells the story of how he and Homestar Runner first met in a [[Original Book|children's book]], as well as how he came to discover [[The Cheat]], and the origin of [[The King of Town]]'s eating problem. After playing tennis on [[the Moon]] with Coach Z, Strong Bad returns to Free Country, USA and comes across a large pink egg, with Homestar Runner nearby. Homestar and Strong Bad get in an argument over who owns the egg, which [[The Prince of Town]] settles by proclaiming a ten-step footrace. Homestar wins, but the Prince declares that the loser gets the egg. Strong Bad and [[Strong Mad]] break open the egg, finding a lifetime supply of fishsticks inside—and a The Cheat! The Cheat [[Mashing|mashes play]] on a [[jam box]] and all the characters have a dance party. Afterwards, The Prince claims the fishsticks. Homestar verifies Strong Bad's story, but it's implied that he thinks it's actually a fictional children's book.

===[[old comics]]===
Strong Bad is asked why the King of Town has a poopsmith, and shows comic strips over 60 years old featuring the King of Town and [[The Poopsmith]] (then named "Mushy Chamberpot"). Strong Bad and Homestar make cameo appearances so that [[The Castlefunnies]] can mooch off of their popularity. Strong Bad does not clarify whether his appearance in the strip was an experience ''he'' actually had, or simply a representation of him. Nevertheless, the strip was canceled the following week or so when the sole remaining reader, a Civil War veteran and creamed corn enthusiast, died. Later, a "[[King Castlefunny Pencil Moistener]]" was released, but sales were low, as the Dry Pencil Scare of '47 lasted only three days. Also, Strong Bad claims the comma was first discovered by explorer and namesake [[Sir Loodabert Comma]] and his sherpa.

===[[origins]]===
Strong Bad is asked about the origin of [[The Stick]] and whether it had always been a good place for hanging out. Strong Bad refuses to explain The Stick's origin, but does elaborate on The Stick's "hanging-out-itude". Although The Stick is presently a good meeting place, such was not always the case, particularly when Homestar held his weekly "bread sing-alongs" there. [[The Brothers Strong]] put a stop to these by holding The Cheat's "rhythmic chain dancing recitals" at the same time and location. After Homestar's sing-alongs' popularity faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip, The Stick was the perfect spot for harrassing [[Marzipan]] and [[Homsar]]. Meanwhile, the Brothers Strong and The Cheat moved to an area behind Bubs' Concession Stand, where they named themselves the [[On Point Kings]], had nothing to do with guff, and, ultimately, stole [[The King of Town]]'s dunce cap, renaming it Lotionman (Strong Mad's idea). In the same email, he claims he drilled the belly button into Strong Sad when he was younger and that [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] was founded after it fell on [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]].

===[[geddup noise]]===
Marc Baroni asks Strong Bad what happened to the "get up noise" his chair made when he got up. After confirming that its true name is [[The Geddup Noise]], Strong Bad recalls that the Geddup Noise started acquiring fame around the time of the creation of [[kids' book]]. Eventually, it became popular enough to guest star on [[The Show]] and [[Radio Stations and Shows#The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew|The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew]], among other shows. The Cheat remixed The Geddup Noise for dance clubs, and characters such as [[The King of Town]] tried to make cheap knock-offs, including "The Standing Up Noise" and "The Git Outcha Seat Sound". Eventually, The Geddup Noise moved to the Coches Mountains. Now, his cousin Chairscoot plays the sound of Strong Bad's stool while The Geddup Noise occassionally makes odd celebrity endorsements.

===[[highschool]]===
Strong Bad explains the characters' younger days, though he disclaims that his memory is extremely "unphotographic", and therefore his histories are not very reliable. In highschool, the characters filled the stereotypical roles for old cartoons about teenagers (a la ''[[Wikipedia:Scooby-Doo, Where are You?|Scooby-Doo]]'') as a 70s-style [[The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries|gang of mystery solvers]]. Before that, in middle school, they were all imaginative "melon-headed babies", occupying their time pretending to be living their dreams. Homestar is portrayed as some kind of grown adult supervisor. Before that, the gang were a bunch of microscopic single-celled organisms living in a [[Free Country, USA#Free Petry Dish USA|petri dish]]. And yet before that, they were all Romans, living in [[Wikipedia:Ancient Rome|Roman times]], with [[Don Knotts]] always showing up.

===[[myths & legends]]===
Strong Bad details the legends surrounding the [[Bear holding a Shark]]. Much of the Bear-Shark's origins can be seen in the constellations over Strong Badia, which show the [[Strong Badia's Seven Elemental Spirits|seven elemental spirits of Strong Badia]]: a [[flag day|snake]], a guy holding a [[Big Knives|big knife]], a box of [[General Tso's Chicken|chicken]], a piece of wood with some nails in it, a hand giving the "OK" symbol, a fish wearing an afro wig, and a British distance runner. The distance runner held up the fish with the fro wig over his head, and the two defeated the other spirits in either paintball or Red Rover, thus becoming the new rulers. After years of bad story telling and the [[Wikipedia:Telephone (game)|telephone game]], the myth went through various incarnations, as evidenced by various documentary-type evidence, ranging from medieval wood carvings of a hairy "wildernessman" with a "sea beast", to a cathedral-style stained glass window of a moose holding a chameleon in its antlers. Strong Bad then researches some "ancient [[Wikipedia:Cave painting|fence drawings]]" on the Strong Badian picket fence, which consist of strange images of the Bear-Shark destroying villages and crops, stealing babies, and bike riding (or pie-sitting) with what appears to be its family. The drawings were actually done by Strong Bad at age 5, though he has long forgotten this. Bubs begins selling Bear-Shark merchandise such as t-shirts, frozen treats and plush toys. Homestar manages to capture (or forge) blurry [[Wikipedia:Patterson-Gimlin film|Bigfoot-style]] footage of what may be the Bear-Shark in the woods, but this only adds to the question of whether the Bear-Shark is a mysterious myth or a legendary legend.

===[[looking old]]===
Strong Bad claims his age is a closely guarded secret, protected by a sect of closely guarded monks in the [[Wikipedia:Sierra Madre Mountains (California)|Coches Mountains]]. He boasts that the monks would no sooner dance with a [[goat]] than reveal his age, but they would bake [[Crustly Guarded Bread]].

===[[your funeral]]===
On March 31, 2046, at 2:03 p.m., Strong Bad claims that there will be a zombie uprising. By about that time, Pom Pom and Strong Sad will have become tough militia men, with Pom Pom sporting a flat-top, cigar, and ammunition belt, and Strong Sad shedding his wimpy image for a gritty-voiced, cigar-smoking, muscular fighter covered in scars and with a five o'clock shadow. His weapon of choice, however, will remain the same then as now: the leotard. Strong Bad, contrary to his outlook in [[replacement]], has decided that he will never die. He will, however, fight on the side of the zombies, if they will let him.

===[[the paper]] ===
As Strong Bad reaches the email that was foretold in [[montage]] to be [[The Paper]]'s last appearance, Kyle asks him to recall the best moments they shared. Strong Bad recounts several misadventures with The Paper, as a tribute to his old friend. Strong Bad and The Paper beat Homestar in basketball. The Paper went through a goth phase and then a preppy phase, neither of which Strong Bad liked. The Paper saved the [[Lappy 486]] from getting drenched in [[Mountain Dew]] and helped Strong Bad escape a sinking island.

===[[original]]===
Strong Bad is asked if he ever watched his favorite shows and movies and realized that his favorite character was replaced with another actor. Strong Bad reveals that the King of Town has been played by twelve different people, and that Bubs was played by [[Original Bubs]] before Original Bubs left over a mayonnaise dispute with the King of Town. For a few months, Strong Bad and Homestar tried to pretend that Original Bubs was always hiding behind a cardboard box. Later, circulating Guest Star Bubs were used, including [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Crack Stuntman]], and [[Other Character Variations#Onion Bubs|Onion Bubs]]. After Strong Bad finishes his story, Bubs continues to claim to be the 100% All Original Bubs, and Marzipan later confirms that Strong Bad made the whole thing up. Homestar still has tragic memories of Original Bubs, though.

===[[yes, wrestling]]===
Strong Bad's wrestling career is shown to be much more colorful than has been revealed before. He and Strong Mad went through several costume phases. The events in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] are not mentioned. Homestar's tag-team partner was claimed to be (the imaginary) Gary the Legend instead of Pom Pom. Strong Sad is also featured as Gardenboy, a wrestler with a rake and a fire-spewing water can.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' If everybody in the world checked their email, the Internet would probably break.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: cerial box toys</div>
Hey ho, Strongbad. 
What kind of free toys would you put in specially marked 
cerial boxes? 
PB 
Over the hills 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads 'Hey ho, Strongbad' as 'Hey! Ho! Strongbad!' (as if it was from "[[Wikipedia:Blitzkrieg Bop|Blitzkrieg Bop]]", [[specially marked#Real-World References|see below]]) and 'cerial' as 'keh-ree-al'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh, I'm glad you asked, Problem Brian. I've been wanting to give specially marked boxes of cereal a specially marked piece of my mind for some time now.

''{A dotted-line circle appears near the top of Strong Bad's head. Two lines appear, going from the circle to a new circle, this time larger and in front of Strong Bad's head. In the bigger circle, there is a picture of Strong Bad's brain.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I choose...this piece.

''{An arrow points to a spot on the left side of Strong Bad's brain. He clears the screen, and the circles disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well before you get the toys inside, you first have to navigate the treacherous, jaggedy rock filled class 5 rapids of specially marked cereal box fake outs! Luckily, I'm a lame sandal wearing hippie with a ponytail that's been down these rapids with groups of tourists many times!

''{Cuts to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat, wearing a ponytail and a helmet, respectively, are in the 'Riverquest Safariventure' box, with a hose running in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok guys, now I'm gonna need everyone to lean hard to the right! ''{Strong Bad pulls out some sort of microphone and makes a clicking noise}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad walks in from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first hazard you have to watch out for is cereals with anything grown in Iowa in the name. You know...

''{Music starts to play in the background.}''

''{As Strong Bad says the items, boxes of Corn Krunch, Wheat Chaff, Oh T'meel, Cripsy Hog Crunchities, and Fundament-o's appear, in that order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...corn, wheat, oats, hogs, fundamentally-sound college basketball players. Please, to stay away from these. Those cereals only ever put fitness-related crap in specially marked boxes.

''{A picture of a step counter appears against a blue background. In flashing letters on the bottom, it says 'One Free TakesteppaTM Step Take Monitor!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Oh, great! I can count how many steps I took today!

''{A picture of a defibrillator appears on-screen. At the top of the screen, it reads 'Clear?! One FreeTM Defib Kit Inside!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Fantastic! I can restart my heart if it stops!

''{Cut back to Marzipan's kitchen, where Strong Bad's face is on a box of 'Hypothetic-O's'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What you do want to look for are cereals with sound effects in the name.

''{The box flies off-screen. When Strong Bad names the sound effects, boxes of Fruit Smax, Chocolate Breakfast Candy Bar Pops, Soundy Puffs, Blue Laser Blasts, and Sugar Rittled Gunshots in a Crowded Mall appear in order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Smacks, pops, puffs, blasts, and, um, gunshots in a crowded mall.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen. X, explosion, boxing glove, square, shoe, and [[Marshie]] shaped marshmallows appear around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, the kind with the squarish, sugared pieces of styrofoam that they claim are marshmallows. These are guaranteed to have a nice, big—

''{Cut to a dirty Strong Bad hand reaching in the box of Cheat Commandos...O's}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —reach-your-nasty-unwashed-hand-straight-to-the-bottom-of-the-box toy in it.

''{Strong Bad pulls out a [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] figure in its blister pack}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen with a box of Fruit Smax on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next up are the three most useless letters in the specially marked alphabet.

''{Zoom to Strong Bad's mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' U...P...C.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you spot these wastes of serif on a cereal box,

''{Cut to a bar code}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' turn and run as fast as you can.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This means not only are they gonna make you buy ''{six more boxes of Fruit Smax appear}'' several more boxes that you have to cut the bar codes off of, but you're also gonna—

''{Cut to a close shot of a Cereal Flakes box. Above, the red text reads "FREE PLUSH CEREAL BOX" and the black text reads "WITH 25 PROOFS OF PURCHASE AND $15 SHIPPING AND HANDLING"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —have to involve your mom to write a check for the shipping and handling if she's back from Vegas!

''{Record scratch. Cut back to Strong Bad standing, talking angrily}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The nerve of those cereals! You leave my mom ''{slams fist on the table}'' out of this!

''{Screen changes, there is now a box of Cheat Commandos...O's on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Some cereals can't even be bothered with a toy at all.

''{Cut to the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They try and pass off the back of the box—

''{Box flips, revealing a cutout of Crack Stuntman's head, with holes at the sides so that it can be made into a mask. On the top left are scissors indicating that it can be cut out and the words "snip snip".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as some kind of prize. ''{Zoom in on the mask}'' That dotted line you expect me to cut along is like a toyless slap in my face! Masks,

''{The image of Crack's face becomes a maze. [[Gunhaver]] appears in the bottom left at the maze's entrance, with a caption reading "Help! I'm lost!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' mazes,

''{The top part of the maze becomes a word search, most of which consists of uncommon letters, like "Q", while the words "'''BUY MORE CEREAL'''" appear in bold. [[Reynold]] is seen on the upper right, with a caption reading "Find 3 words!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' word searches, PAH!

''{Throws box, cut back to Strong Bad standing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know the kind of kids that enjoyed these funtivities on the backs of cereal boxes, and let me tell you, they were real easy to beat up.

''{Homestar Runner walks in wearing a Crack Stuntman mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah, Strong Bad, blah! I'm a crappy Stuntman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what kind of toys I'd put in specially marked boxes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anything ''{Reaches into a cereal box}'' heavy and pointy enough ''{Zoom in on box}'' to do lasting damage to the face.

''{Zooms out as Strong Bad takes out a chainsaw-car and throws it at Homestar, knocking him backwards onto the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wahhhh! Strong Bad, while I'm down here, can you help me finish this word search? I can't find 'dextrose-flavornoids'.

''{Strong Bad reads 'Hey ho, Strongbad' as 'Hey! Ho! Strongbad!' (as if it was from "[[Wikipedia:Blitzkrieg Bop|Blitzkrieg Bop]]", [[specially marked#Real-World References|see below]]) and 'cerial' as 'keh-ree-al'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh, I'm glad you asked, Problem Brian. I've been wanting to give specially marked boxes of cereal a specially marked piece of my mind for some time now.

''{A dotted-line circle appears near the top of Strong Bad's head. Two lines appear, going from the circle to a new circle, this time larger and in front of Strong Bad's head. In the bigger circle, there is a picture of Strong Bad's brain.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I choose...this piece.

''{An arrow points to a spot on the left side of Strong Bad's brain. He clears the screen, and the circles disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well before you get the toys inside, you first have to navigate the treacherous, jaggedy rock filled class 5 rapids of specially marked cereal box fake outs! Luckily, I'm a lame sandal wearing hippie with a ponytail that's been down these rapids with groups of tourists many times!

''{Cuts to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat, wearing a ponytail and a helmet, respectively, are in the 'Riverquest Safariventure' box, with a hose running in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok guys, now I'm gonna need everyone to lean hard to the right! ''{Strong Bad pulls out some sort of microphone and makes a clicking noise}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad walks in from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first hazard you have to watch out for is cereals with anything grown in Iowa in the name. You know...

''{Music starts to play in the background.}''

''{As Strong Bad says the items, boxes of Corn Krunch, Wheat Chaff, Oh T'meel, Cripsy Hog Crunchities, and Fundament-o's appear, in that order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...corn, wheat, oats, hogs, fundamentally-sound college basketball players. Please, to stay away from these. Those cereals only ever put fitness-related crap in specially marked boxes.

''{A picture of a step counter appears against a blue background. In flashing letters on the bottom, it says 'One Free TakesteppaTM Step Take Monitor!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Oh, great! I can count how many steps I took today!

''{A picture of a defibrillator appears on-screen. At the top of the screen, it reads 'Clear?! One FreeTM Defib Kit Inside!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Fantastic! I can restart my heart if it stops!

''{Cut back to Marzipan's kitchen, where Strong Bad's face is on a box of 'Hypothetic-O's'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What you do want to look for are cereals with sound effects in the name.

''{The box flies off-screen. When Strong Bad names the sound effects, boxes of Fruit Smax, Chocolate Breakfast Candy Bar Pops, Soundy Puffs, Blue Laser Blasts, and Sugar Rittled Gunshots in a Crowded Mall appear in order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Smacks, pops, puffs, blasts, and, um, gunshots in a crowded mall.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen. X, explosion, boxing glove, square, shoe, and [[Marshie]] shaped marshmallows appear around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, the kind with the squarish, sugared pieces of styrofoam that they claim are marshmallows. These are guaranteed to have a nice, big—

''{Cut to a dirty Strong Bad hand reaching in the box of Cheat Commandos...O's}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —reach-your-nasty-unwashed-hand-straight-to-the-bottom-of-the-box toy in it.

''{Strong Bad pulls out a [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] figure in its blister pack}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen with a box of Fruit Smax on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next up are the three most useless letters in the specially marked alphabet.

''{Zoom to Strong Bad's mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' U...P...C.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you spot these wastes of serif on a cereal box,

''{Cut to a bar code}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' turn and run as fast as you can.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This means not only are they gonna make you buy ''{six more boxes of Fruit Smax appear}'' several more boxes that you have to cut the bar codes off of, but you're also gonna—

''{Cut to a close shot of a Cereal Flakes box. Above, the red text reads "FREE PLUSH CEREAL BOX" and the black text reads "WITH 25 PROOFS OF PURCHASE AND $15 SHIPPING AND HANDLING"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —have to involve your mom to write a check for the shipping and handling if she's back from Vegas!

''{Record scratch. Cut back to Strong Bad standing, talking angrily}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The nerve of those cereals! You leave my mom ''{slams fist on the table}'' out of this!

''{Screen changes, there is now a box of Cheat Commandos...O's on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Some cereals can't even be bothered with a toy at all.

''{Cut to the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They try and pass off the back of the box—

''{Box flips, revealing a cutout of Crack Stuntman's head, with holes at the sides so that it can be made into a mask. On the top left are scissors indicating that it can be cut out and the words "snip snip".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as some kind of prize. ''{Zoom in on the mask}'' That dotted line you expect me to cut along is like a toyless slap in my face! Masks,

''{The image of Crack's face becomes a maze. [[Gunhaver]] appears in the bottom left at the maze's entrance, with a caption reading "Help! I'm lost!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' mazes,

''{The top part of the maze becomes a word search, most of which consists of uncommon letters, like "Q", while the words "'''BUY MORE CEREAL'''" appear in bold. [[Reynold]] is seen on the upper right, with a caption reading "Find 3 words!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' word searches, PAH!

''{Throws box, cut back to Strong Bad standing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know the kind of kids that enjoyed these funtivities on the backs of cereal boxes, and let me tell you, they were real easy to beat up.

''{Homestar Runner walks in wearing a Crack Stuntman mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah, Strong Bad, blah! I'm a crappy Stuntman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what kind of toys I'd put in specially marked boxes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anything ''{Reaches into a cereal box}'' heavy and pointy enough ''{Zoom in on box}'' to do lasting damage to the face.

''{Zooms out as Strong Bad takes out a chainsaw-car and throws it at Homestar, knocking him backwards onto the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wahhhh! Strong Bad, while I'm down here, can you help me finish this word search? I can't find 'dextrose-flavornoids'.

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad is at the Compy 386, playing ''Peasant's Quest''. He has a score of -38 and is in the area with Kerrek.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, let's see here... ''{typing}'' Make friends with Kerrek.

''{A message pops up. It reads, "The Kerrek says he has enough friends already. And he doesn't like your short, short pants." His score also drops to -40.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the!? ''(presses enter}'' Um... ''{typing}'' Buy Kerrek a cold one.

''{Kerrek smashes him on the head. There is another message. It reads, "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your offer. He pounds your head into the ground. You dead." His score also drops to -45.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHAT?! Oh man... Stupid game! ''{types "quit." A message says, "You quitter."}'' I guess I should do the thing... that I do. ''{pulls up the a> sign and types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' ''{Reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Coolest guy ever - - - Strong Bad, 
I've been wondering if you ever 
thought of making your own television 
series? Kids everywhere would love 
you, and your awesomeness. 
 
Allison , NJ</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "- - -" as "henna henna henna". After reading the greeting, he says, "Whoa! Three hennas! Must be an important one!" After the comma in the last sentence, he says "unnecessary comma," and he pronounces "Allison" as "All is on"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Television?!! Kids?!! Wait, do you people think I'm intended for children? Like, the littlest, tiniest babies? You know, they watch those shows on public television. I don't think I'm cut out for that sort of sugarjob.

''{Cut to a piece of yellow paper of the sort used to teach kindergartners writing. Strong Bad is superimposed on it with a rocket launcher/bazooka, a monster with horns, a bunny with fangs, and a creature that resembles a man sticking its tongue out drawn in crayon around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Smiling beatifically}'' Okay, kids, we're gonna play "Where's The Cheat?". Can you say, "a-The Cheat"?

'''KIDS:''' ''{half incoherent}'' The Cheat. ''{one child mumbles}'' Christopher Columbus.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not good enough. F minus minus.

''{"F--" appears on the screen. The [[DELETED]] [[Sound Effects|buzzer]] is heard. Cut back to Strong Bad. Behind him are a tree and an open box. A toilet is in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, dumb children. ''{rubs his hands together}'' Find The Cheat!

''{The Cheat comes out from behind the box.}''

'''KIDS:''' ''{say things like "He's over there," or "Right there." They continue saying this.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, no, he's behind the box. ''{Turns around and points to The Cheat}'' No, uh, he's not even ''behind'' the box, he's ''barely obscured'' by the box. ''{turns around}'' Look, ''The Cheat is behind the freaking box!!''

''{Kids stop talking and the music soundtrack screeches to a halt accompanied by a record scratch. Strong Bad breathes heavily, then comes closer to the viewer, and starts screaming manically}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YA!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS''!!

''{Cut back via a change of TV channels to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, you can see how that might be less than pleasant. What with all the letter writing and the angry mothers and the subsequent stringing me up in town square for all to see. But you know who's a natural for that sorta thing? None other than America's favorite blue midget Homestar: Homsar!!

''{Cut to an all-white scene. Homsar comes through a faraway door. He walks closer to the viewer and stops.}''

'''KIDS:''' Whaddaya know, Haddi-man?

''{As the words are sung, they are shown one by one at the bottom of the viewer's screen. A caricature of Homsar rides by from right to left in a boat with a flag. The background is light green, with white, yellow, purple and green flowers spinning counter-clockwise. His shirt says "if you lived here you'd be home"}''

'''MAN:''' We'll have an adventure, and several long trips. We'll make some new friends—

''{Smiling, multi-ethnic children appear behind Homsar as he sails left off the screen}''

'''MAN:''' —and maybe get a bite to eat!!!

''{An orange with "abc" on it appears. Seven Homsar silhouettes now fan like a hand of cards from left to right, and then disappear in reverse order.}''

'''MAN:''' All 'cause we say...

''{A red silhouette of Homsar with the flag from the boat appears. White liquid spills onto the screen. A logo that says '''"Whaddaya Know Haddi-man?"''' with a second caricature of Homsar on it appears.}''

'''KIDS:''' Whaddaya know, Haddi-man?

''{The real Homsar pops up on the left side of the screen in the lower left corner.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!

''{Cut to a tan scene. Homsar disappears and reappears in various places, accompanied by raspberry noises. When he stops in the left half of the foreground, a blue lower case "g" appears beside him.}''

'''KIDS:''' A "G"!

'''HOMSAR''': I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!

'''KIDS:''' A "G"!

''{Cut to a purple background with a seated, mustachioed man playing a guitar. As the words are sung, they appear on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

'''HOMSAR:''' That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?

'''KIDS''': ''{shouts of approval}''

''{Cut to the previous screen. Now we see two of the guitar-playing people, one in a darker shade superimposed behind the other. Again, as the words are sung, they appear on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

''{The darker shaded guitarist is suddenly upside-down, and the song is repeated as are the words on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

''{Cut back to the Compy via a channel change.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Good gravy. ''{Spoken: GOOD... GRAVY.}'' I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: ''{in monotone}'' HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS. THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME.

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

:'''SINGER:''' All is on... feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it...

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A person who practices total abstinence from alcoholic beverages is called a [[wikipedia:Teetotaler|teetotaller]].

===Remarks===
*The [[Peasant's Quest Responses|commands]] Strong Bad uses in [[Peasant's Quest]] were not originally part of the game but were added after this email debuted.
**Typing "make friends with kerrek" results in the message "Look, it didn't work for Strongbad ''[sic]'' and it's not gonna work for you either."
**Typing "buy kerrek a cold one" results in the message "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your request. You've really cheesed him off now.", and causes the Kerrek to move twice as fast.
*If you type "quit" in the real Peasant's Quest, the game shows a different message than the "you quitter" message, and quits.
*Given the use of "teetotaller," this email seems to prove that the oft-mentioned "cold one" is in fact an alcoholic beverage.
*It is impossible to get a negative score in the real game, despite Strong Bad's miserable showing.
*In [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], it is said the maximum requirements for Peasant's Quest are a 286 CGA enabled PC. The Compy, judging by its name, contains a 386 processor.
*The positions of the crayon graphics in the first scene are all rearranged when the scene zooms in on Strong Bad's face.
*If the "Stave it off" song were really looped 50 times (including the pause heard in the email) it would last for 6 minutes, 10 seconds.
*As Homsar says the word "trendy," his hat changes in size; first larger, then smaller, then back to normal.
*Homsar's eyes on the "Whaddaya Know Haddi-man?" logo are mirrored versions of the smaller of [[Bubs]]' eyes.

===Goofs===
*When Homsar talks after the lowercase "[[g]]" shows up (complete with various head movements and hat flyings, as per usual), his shadow stays still.
*The real Peasant's Quest game shows the score as "# of 150", not "# ''out'' of 150".

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad is playing Peasant's Quest, the Contrast knob has no effect on any of the black text on the screen except for the game messages (i.e. "You quitter.").

===Inside References===
*The sounds that Homsar makes when he opens the door is the same sound when the door closes in The House That Gave Sucky Treats.
*Strong Bad says "HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YA!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!!" This is an instance of one speaking of [[Killing Dogs|killing someone's dog]].

===Real-World References===
*The fake show hosted by Strong Bad is a spoof of many children's shows; the kids heard shouting the answers to Strong Bad's questions are taken from the [[Nickelodeon]] show [[Wikipedia:Blue's Clues|Blue's Clues]]. Strong Bad's show is actually a strange reversal of Blue's Clues; in Blue's Clues the kids know all the answers to the questions asked but the host is completely clueless, whilst in this email, Strong Bad knows the answers and the kids are clueless.
*The way Homsar enters and walks closer to the viewer is from the British kids' show [[Wikipedia:Bod (television)|"Bod"]]. This is likely, as [[The Brothers Chaps]] have claimed that [http://www.retrocrush.com/homestar/index2.html Bod was one of their influences.]
*The noise Homsar makes when he teleports around are similar to noises on the [[PBS]] show [[Wikipedia:Boohbah|Boohbah]].
*The Guitar Playing Man bears a striking [[Wikipedia:Gorilla (album)|resemblance]] to folk singer [[Wikipedia:James Taylor|James Taylor]]. Taylor has made numerous appearances on the children's TV program [[Sesame Street]], often singing educational songs.
**He also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Fred Penner|Fred Penner]] and [[Wikipedia:Jim Croce|Jim Croce]].
*Homsar asking the kids if they want to "hear of [the song] 50 times more" may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] show [[Wikipedia:Teletubbies|Teletubbies]], in which whenever a "real-life" clip is shown, it is always repeated per request of the Teletubbies.
*The "letter of the day" feature in Homsar's show is reminiscent of Sesame Street, which ends each show with the mock sponsorship, "Sesame Street was brought to you... by the letter __!"
*The bizarre way Homsar comes onto the screen from an unseen door in the unseen distance, and the way he jumps around the screen without moving otherwise, is a reference to early Sesame Street skits which were noted for their surreality.
*The "animated" Homsar's shirt says "If you lived here you'd be home," bringing to mind the common billboard campaign for new houses under construction, "If you lived here, you'd be home by now."

===Fast Forward===
*The "[[All Is On]]" song from this email is used again in the Easter egg for [[extra plug]].
*The words "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." were used again in the email [[virus]].
*[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]] is heard in the background in [[secret identity]].
*Part of the song played in the "Where's the Cheat?" part of the sbemail is heard in the [[Very, Very Little Girl]] Easter egg in [[Summer Short Shorts]].

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

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]] '''on guitar''')

''{Ryan's guitar playing throughout the commentary}''

'''MATT:''' You're listening to the smooth, sultry, sounds of the Strong Bad DVD commentary.

'''RYAN:''' Dim the lights, Matt. Who's on lights? Matt are you on lights?

'''MIKE:''' I know one thing for sure.

'''MATT:''' What's that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Ryan Sterrit's on the guitar right now.

'''RYAN:''' ''{over Mike}'' Oooooohhhhhhhh yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhh.

'''MATT:''' What's that Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' Hey um— re— re—

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Ryan}'' Make it sing. Make it sing.

'''RYAN:''' Regarding the P— the Peasant's Quest thing we— or— before the email or just after we went back and added the phrases.

'''MATT:''' ''{over Ryan}'' Those two commands.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, into the game.

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' And you'd get the same responses, right?

'''RYAN:''' Y— something like that. Something similar.

'''MATT:''' Or maybe— no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh no, that's right.

'''RYAN:''' ''{yelling}'' Check— Try— Try it out at home.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Find out yourselves.

'''MATT:''' Give it a shot.

'''RYAN:''' I'm sorry. I'm not being sufficiently jazzy in my role.

'''MATT:''' No! We're all, uh—

'''MIKE:''' Hey it's all good. It's all hot.

'''MATT:''' Everything— we're all a family here at Strong Bad Email. This is a little technique I used to make look like crayon drawing Flash it's the— it's the stippled stroke. There's a stroke in your stroke tool all you Flash animators at home.

'''MIKE:''' Stroke.

'''MATT:''' It looks sort of like pebbles. Just do several different layers of it and maybe cut and paste the same layer, move it up a little bit. Instant crayon.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating child in the email}'' Christopher Columbus!

'''RYAN:''' Wait— wait, this is where Strong Bad gets violent.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah this is gonna be good contrast to— here...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I don't think— I don't think I wanna watch this part.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad! Calm down, man!

'''MATT:''' You need to cool out, Strong Bad.

'''RYAN:''' Does he say, "I'll kill all your dogs"?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Or "all your dolls?"

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' Dogs.

'''RYAN:''' That's what I thought he said.

'''MATT:''' He's ang— he's angry. It's a little rough. There's some kids at home who I don't think could handle that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. It's like— it's like the new Star Wars episodes. Not suitable for children.

'''MATT:''' That's what I hear. The world's most childish...

'''MIKE:''' Hey Ryan. How 'bout some more finger picking. ''{Ryan plays a little more}'' Thank you. That's ''nice''.

'''MATT:''' This is a, uh— this is a sweet intro I think to Homsar's show.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I really wanna make this show, or at least watch it. I don't want to make it. I wanna watch it.

'''RYAN:''' I like the, um, the construction paper appearance in this.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Those kids and that orange— that orange I wanna snack on.

'''MIKE:''' Those kids are diverse.

'''MATT:''' They are! ''{talks over Mike}'' They're from all over the world, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{talks over Matt}'' There's some diversity in those kids.

'''MATT:''' Haddi-man is accepting of all cultures.

''{short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' And fart noises.

''{all laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I wonder—

'''RYAN:''' —like a— statistical analysis on the number of, uh, fart noises or toilets or something like that delay this 1:30.

'''MATT:''' ''Is'' there?

'''RYAN:''' I don't know. There's the toilet and the claymation thing that— there's probably a lot! Not that you guys resort to—

'''MATT:''' Who's uncle? That's— that's Ryan right now. Looks just like that guy.

'''MIKE:''' He does! His legs crossed like that!

'''MATT:''' He's got his legs crossed, tapping one foot.

'''MIKE:''' You need to put some socks on underneath your flip-flops.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' Me! Me! Me! Me! That's my favorite kid that's in the background—

'''RYAN:''' Is he wearing sandals and socks?

'''MIKE:''' I don't think he is, but I always sort of interpreted those weird lines around his foot as that.

'''RYAN:''' Hey guys, I'm sorry if I was implying that you guys do a lot of potty humor.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We're gonna cut this out— we're gonna cut you out of the DVD.

''{all laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' But, I'm not in the DVD.

'''MATT:''' You ''are'' in the DVD actually.

'''MIKE:''' You are cut out!

'''MATT:''' Umm—

'''RYAN:''' Nothing to cut.

''{short pause}''

'''RYAN:''' Keep it going. Keep it going, bro.

'''MATT:''' Keep it going. Low standard—

'''MIKE:''' How long does—

'''MATT: ''' Let's keep our standardized test scores low this evening, ladies and gentlemen.

'''RYAN:''' Test scores—

'''MATT:''' The Paper— Ryan, take us home.

''{Ryan's guitar playing until the end}''

===Fun Facts===
*The comment that the new [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] episodes are not suitable for children refers to the fact that the latest episode, [[Wikipedia:Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith|Revenge of the Sith]], was rated [[Wikipedia:MPAA film rating system|PG-13]], whereas all previous Star Wars movies were rated PG.

==Transcript==
''{Strong Sad is standing in The Field, within a lemonade stand with a sign reading "<s>LEMONADE</s>Dusty Novels"; There are books in front of him with spiderwebs on them}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nothin' beats the heat like a dusty, musty novel. Step right up and take home a tome.

''{Zoom out to reveal Homestar Runner standing near the stand}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, you've had some bad ideas in your time. But ''this'' is the best idea you've ever had! ''{A faint jingle is heard in the background}'' You'll make millions!

''{The jingle gets louder}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{offscreen}'' BAH-lo-NEH!

''{As he speaks and holds the last syllable, Bubs drives his Baloney Sammich Truck into Strong Sad's booth, knocking both of them off screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! It's the baloneym'n! ''{eagerly}'' What should I get, what should I get?

''{Cut to reveal a closer shot of Bubs and Homestar}''

'''BUBS:''' Brand new for this season! I got the unrecognizable ''{Holds up a baloney sandwich shaped like a plane with a face and a two at the front}'' summer movie tie-in sammich!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Which movie is it from?

''{Slight pause; Bubs takes a quick look at the sandwich and looks back at Homestar}''

'''BUBS:''' The sequel!

''{Homestar opens his mouth in surprise; A beep is heard, and the scene switches to a scene with Strong Bad and Bubs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddya got that'll cool me cool me cool me down?

'''BUBS:''' I got this baloney sammich ''{Holds up a sandwich shaped like a double popsicle}'' shaped like a popsicle!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it! ''{Bubs hands the sandwich to Strong Bad, and Strong Bad starts speaking to the viewers}'' That should be enough to fool my brain. ''{Strong Bad takes the sandwich and starts rubbing it on his head}'' Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

''{The scene darkens, and an oval-like shape opens up in Strong Bad's head, revealing an "angel" and "devil" Strong Bad}''

'''DEVIL STRONG BAD:''' Y'see this guy? Rubbin' a sammich on his head?

'''ANGEL STRONG BAD:''' I know, I know...just let it go. You gotta pick your battles.

''{Another beep is heard, and the scene switches again to a scene with Homestar and Bubs, only from ''inside'' the Baloney Sammich truck}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't decide between the one with the gumball in the center, or the one shaped like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut back to an outside view of the two's conversation}''

'''BUBS:''' Yeah...''shaped'' like there's a bite taken out of it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Shaped like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut to a closer view of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{In a different tone}'' Yeeeeaaah. Shaped ''{Comes down hard on the -ed part of the word}'' like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut to a close shot of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, ''{angrily}'' shaped like there's a bite taken out of it!

''{Another close view of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Yea-

''{Bubs is cut off; A beep is heard and the scene transitions into one with The King of Town, who appears to be sinking very slowly, and Bubs}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I'll take one of everything-

'''BUBS:''' Mhmmm.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Two of everything-

'''BUBS:''' Yep.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Three of everything-

'''BUBS:''' Okay.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Y'got any "Five of everything"?

'''BUBS:''' I got ''six'' of those!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' And hurry it up, ''{Cut to a wider shot of the two, The King of Town seems to be melting in the foreground}'' I'm ''melting'' over here!

''{A beep is heard again, and the scene cuts to another with Homestar and Strong Bad; They are standing near the rear of the truck, with a bike behind them; Homestar has his hat on backwards, and Strong Bad has mustard smeared on his forehead}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? You didn't hear man? Man, man. This kid, was doin' a flip on his 180. Busted his head, man. Busted his head.

''{Cut to closer view of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, ''what'' are you talking about?

''{Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Summer talk.

''{Cut to original view}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And did this "head-busting" happen to anyone in particular?

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyelids lower}'' No, summer talk! The kind of stuff that you talk about in the summer!

''{Cut to Strong Bad again; Cricket noises are heard}''

''{After a few seconds, noises stop; Cut back to the normal view of Homestar and Strong Bad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Kids getting hurt on bikes!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhhh!

''{Another beep is heard; Cut to a scene with Coach Z ordering from the truck}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'll have a-

'''BUBS:''' I'm all out!

'''COACH Z:''' Well then what about the-

'''BUBS:''' I'm outta' that one too!

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, then gimme a-

'''BUBS:''' Nowhere to be found!

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' All I got left is this thirty-two dollar napkin! ''{Holds up a napkin}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh! ''{Cut to a close view of Coach Z}'' I could really put that thing through its paces.

''{A beep is heard, and the scene transitions again; Strong Bad is walking away from the truck, while Homestar is looking at Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Well that's it for this summer, kids. I gotta mosey on! I got an expired tag, expired license, and expired mayonnaise!

''{Bubs turns to the front of the truck; Cut to a shot of the other side of the truck while it drives off}''

'''BUBS:''' Ba-lo-ney!

''{Homestar starts to run after the departing truck and stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Farewell, baloneym'n! And may your warbly theme song serve as a reminder that you probably have a really sketchy past.

''{Zoom out to reveal Strong Sad, who has tire-like markings on his body, lying next to his broken novel stand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in pain}'' Ohh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Strong Sad, you'll make ''millions''!

''{A little bit of music is heard as the screen turns black, and the word "END" is written with each letter being a baloney sandwich; For a few seconds, Strong Sad can be heard groaning before the toon ends}''

===Explanations===
*A [[wiktionary:tome|tome]] is a large or scholarly book.

===Remarks===
* When the toon was first released, the lower-left sandwich changed several times during the toon. It was later changed so that it displayed the "Taste Tested" sandwich throughout the entire toon.
**Initially, it was labeled "Dog Food" sandwich, but was shaped like a normal baloney sandwich.
**Later on, this "Dog Food Sandwich" had bread in the shape of a dog bone.
**The only scene in which the "Taste Tested" sandwich originally appeared was when Bubs and Homestar were discussing it.
*The toons preview for this short doesn't show the line of mustard on Strong Bad's head and still has "Dog Food Sandwich" in the lower left corner.
*At the time Bubs is conversing with The King of Town, he apparently has on hand at least 36 of everything. Since Bubs has six varieties of sandwich (not including the seasonal one), he would have at least 216 sandwiches in his van.

===Inside References===
*The Baloney Sammich Truck was first seen in [[Weclome Back!]], as Bubs' summer job, then seen again in [[Happy Dethemberween]] as the Dethemberween Thnikkaman's "unmarked" van.
*Bubs tries to sell Coach Z a [[Bubs's Napkins|napkin]].
*Homestar's pronunciation of Baloneyman is another example of [[M'n|"man" being pronounced as "m'n"]].
*Strong Bad's line "cool me cool me cool me down" is possibly a reference to his "hose me hose me hose me down" in [[couch patch]].

*'''Decline.''' The philosophy that nothing is too obvious does not work. If Jesus appeared in a cartoon it would be ridiculous to make a fact about him.

In a rushed email, Strong Bad is asked what his current status is with the ladies.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, [[Zubs and Coach B]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' Monday, December 30, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:14

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==

''{Start of the e-mail at the monitor; Strong Bad is absent. Footsteps can be heard, getting faster as they approach, and Strong Bad runs on-screen. He notices the computer and screeches to a halt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! The email!

''{He sits at the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, look guys. I don't have a lotta time. I'm kind of in the middle of something and I really can't explain. I'll try and do an e-mail ''{he types strongbad_email.exe}'' real quick-a-like.

''{e-mail pops up}''

''{reading fast}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey man, 
I was just wondering what your 
current status with the ladies is? 
 
Jordan Reynolds 
New Hampshire</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh, let's see... ''{typing}'' Strong Bad with the ladies — Current Status: They all still want me. ''{stops typing}'' Y'know, what can I say? I'm a chick magnet. A babe conductor. A... logarithm... for the ladies.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad!

'''BUBS:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oop, gotta go!

''{He runs off. Coach Z and Bubs walk in. Their heads have been swapped, and thus are now Coach B and Zubs.}'' [[#Footnote|[1]]]

'''COACH B:''' Well... he's not here.

'''ZUBS:''' Well, you better find him quick! This crap ain't funny!

'''COACH B:''' I'd be hard-pressed to do ''anything'' quick in ''this'' train-wreck! What've ya been eatin', concrete?

''{Coach B walks off.}''

'''ZUBS:''' Least I don't have no clown feet! I can hardly walk in these things! ''{Cut to his feet. Shortly after, he walks off}'' Ronald McDonald, grumble-mumble...

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

===Footnote===
#For the purpose of this transcript, it is assumed that Coach B has Coach Z's head and voice, and Zubs has Bubs's head and voice. It has never been revealed whether this is true, or if the opposite is true.

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end, click on the disk on the table. The Compy will create a message that says:

</blockquote>

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:logarithm|logarithm]] is a mathematical term that is the inverse of raising a number to a power.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the only email in which the Compy makes a humming noise when it is switched on.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#loom|loom disk 1 of 24]]".

===Glitches===
*The clickable area for the back button extends farther left than usual.

Agree. Speedy delete. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:First of all, what's wrong with a redirect? It's edited once, and then that's it. Now, people don't need to search for the whole thing. They can just look for "catonfire", for example, when they remember the joke but not where it's from. They see this page, and then are redirected to the right toon. There's no harm in that. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::If people did search for the whole thing, then they wouldn't find this page anyway (there's an "l" missing from "falling"). In fact, if you search for "catonfire", the only result is for Biz Cas Fri 3's subtitles. So, for this page to be of any use, people would need to type the full, misspelled name into the search bar.

::Yeah, which is too bad, since Fireworks is definitely better connected to July 4th. But then, there's no obligation to do a July 4th article, so there's no harm in doing a one with a loose connection like Carboard Marzi. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:33, 24 April 2008

:::::::::::Hi there, me again. This is another illustration of the problem we're having here at FAS: throwing out ideas without discussing. The conversation was going along pretty well, with support gradually emerging for [[The Announcer]], when a user comes in with a suggestion to feature [[The Gremlin]] without saying anything about the previous discussion or explaining why to feature the latter and not the former. Why is this a problem? It leaves the discussion fragmented and makes it hard to determine consensus. If I came along now to close this, I would have a very heard time telling where consensus lies. For this reason, when contributing here, always respond to what previous users have said instead of just throwing out your own ideas. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Since we haven't done one in a while, how about a TGS issue? I'm thinking [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|the first one]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:I would advise against us featuring TGS 1 for this reason: It's a subset of the email [[comic]]. Therefore, it makes more sense to feature that email instead, as it helps show where TGS came from and gives us the first episode.
:As an alternative, perhaps TGS 11, since it has a summer theme? Alternatively, we could wait a few weeks and do TGS 4, with its back-to-school theme. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Okay, let's just do [[comic]], then, huh? I agree that TGS isn't shown more often, but let's try to save some of the post-tenth issue ones (i.e., Issue 11) for later.

::::In agreement. Let's do the email comic. It'll be just like featuring a TGS comic, but this shows where it came from. (I actually didn't know until now) [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 01:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::If we're going to do techno two weeks before, I don't think we should do another email this week. I don't see any reason we can't do two summer-themed cartoons, but if we don't want to, I still suggest delaying TGS a few weeks and doing Issue 4 (partly because we haven't featured many early TGS episodes). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I say we shouldn't do any more summer themed Featured Articles. If any school people are at all like me (and I know some are), they will be thinking "Aww man, we hafta go back to school again soon!" by August. I think [[comic]] would be a good idea. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::And I still say two emails separated by only one week is too many in such a short timespan. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::(KOs colons and throws them into an active volcano) Not really... We have nearly 200 SBEmails total. I doubt that many have been featured. There are more SBEmails than anything else. It's not a big deal. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 13:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Yeah. I'm surprised we haven't featured emails more often! So we should not complain about having emails close together. Besides, there was one time where was an entire week's worth of Tandy 400 emails, I seem to recall. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::That's still only one week, not two weeks of email with only one in between. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:25, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but [[comic]] was featured for week 31, 2005. How about the [[locker room]]? [[User:Hazzard4123|Hazzard4123]] 18:05 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:But that was actually just an article on the series as a whole. I'm talking about the actual email. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::So was I. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 00:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Exactly. With "comic", we could kill two birds with one stone: we'll do something with both the squad of teenagers of the female persuasion ''and'' an email on the part of that guy in the wrestling mask. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

How about — Psssshhh! — the [[Double Deuce]]! [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:I'm thinking [[Fonts]] or [[Fonts By Toon]]. Haha. Just kidding. Sadly, those pages'll never make it as a featured article, I'm afraid. Oh, [[Fonts]]! I pine for you. <sniff> {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
::Re: the [[Double Deuce]] We look to already be doing a running gag two weeks before, so I'm thinking not such a good idea (but keep it mind for the future). Opti: Hmm, I wish there were a way to feature one of those, and if I ever think of a way, I certainly will suggest it. It's a really great amount of obscure info, but how to make it featurable I don't know. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, except the two weeks prior, the running gag is of a different variety than the Double Deuce, so no offense, but they should not be exactly comparable. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:48, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Sure, they're different types, but I still argue they're too similar in type to occur so close together. Not to mention that I think it's a bad idea how we have running gags divided into several categories, anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::If we can't have a running gag, how about [[Drive-Thru Whale]]? He's starting to become a fairly prominent pseudocharacter....{{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

For this week, my option is the [[Heavy Lourde|Heavy Load. I mean, Lourde]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
:Sure. That's a good one. {{User:Peter222/sig}}
::It's a bit on the short side, but I guess it's workable. And it is an interesting object (debuted with Homsar, after all, way back in the early days of sbemail). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I dunno about this one. Most information in the article right now is either speculations or talking about other weights that look like the weight but are not the same one. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Maybe it is too much of that. I've removed what I think was the least relevant info. What's left is a bit on the short side. You reckon we could expand it? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:49, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Still, the Monty Python and bilingual labeling part of the article is still speculation. I don't think there is enough actual facts in the article to make it a FA. How about instead we do something completely different and feature the quite popular toon [[Where's The Cheat?]]. It's quite long, and it has every main character in it! {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Re:Heavy Lourde: Since no one's stepped in to fix it, I'm going to say maybe not do that one. I do kind of think it'd be nice to do an object, since we haven't featured one in a bit and we feature a lot of toons (in the generic sense; not only including big toons). Any ideas? If not, let's go ahead and do Where's The Cheat (while keeping in mind an object for a future feature). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Hey, I got an idea: if we can't do Heavy Lourde, then let's do another object, like the [[BMW Lighter]]. That's an object, too. I simply looked at the [[Category:Object running gags|list of object running gags]] and I had the idea. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps a game? It's been a while since we last featured one: week 8 of this year was the last time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:How about one of the games that Strong Bad dreamed up in the [[video games]] email? Any of those would work. Or we could also do [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
::We've been delaying featuring 20X6 until level 10 comes out... though even I begin to wonder if that's worth doing anymore. On the one hand, I don't like featuring an incomplete game because the situation is a bit awkward if it ever is finished (do we ever get to showcase the complete game?) Then again, I think it's highly possible the game will never be finished, since TBC seem to have moved on to other things (such as SBCG4AP). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Then let's do the [[StrongBadZone]] game. It's one of the games that SB has dreamed up in the "video games" email. And it has a decent amount of text to boot. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I like that idea. It also begat one of the better-known H*R phrases, "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::I'd like to suggest [[Commandos in the Classroom]], as this week is close to the start of school for a lot of people, and would have tons of "OMG! BACK TO SCHOOL FRENZY!" moments. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
::::::Hmm... if we do that, which at this point I'm neutral on, let's see if we can do StrongBadZone not long later, shall we? I can see the value of a back to school article, but we should make sure our heads engsmsplode ''sometime''. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

This week would be Labor Day, and since we featured Labor Dabor last year, how about doing the "[[labor day]]" email this year? I think it fits, if only weakly. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Since we already featured [[Happy Fireworks]], how about [[Cardboard Marzipan]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:I guess we could do that. Another thing we should try is [[Fireworks]]. Of course, that one would need to be updated drastically. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, which is too bad, since Fireworks is definitely better connected to July 4th. But then, there's no obligation to do a July 4th article, so there's no harm in doing a one with a loose connection like Carboard Marzi. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:33, 24 April 2008
:::On the other hand, if we're going to do Saddy two weeks prior, this could be a bit of an overdose of character variations. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
::::As an alternative, how about something tangentially related? Like how Homestar Runner wants to dress up as Uncle Sam in [[Strong Bad Is A Bad Guy]]? (I know, I know, it's a stretch....) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::It's a stretch, but I see no reason not to do it anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Any more thoughts so we can gather consensus? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Strong Bad is a Bad Guy would be fine. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I disagree with [[Fireworks]] being an appropriate Featured Article, it is just a rather short list of the use of fireworks in H*R. The other two are more appropriate, and since the FA doesn't ''have'' to be 4th of July related, I wouldn't mind seeing [[Strong Bad Is A Bad Guy]] myself. Of course, nothing wrong with being a little festive either. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Have we featured [[The Announcer]] yet? If so, how about [[Homestarloween Party]]? --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC) Or specially marked.
:Getting pretty far out in advance again; let's not go any further than this week for a bit, OK?
:We haven't featured The Announcer yet. That article could possibly use some expansion before featuring, but it's a possibility. [[Homestarloween Party]]'s been featured (and we usually save Halloween toons to be featured at Halloween, anyway). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, let's slow down a little bit, huh? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 08:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Ten weeks is enough. I think we have 12 now. Let's hold it to 10 - guideline suggestion? Question mark? The Announcer works for me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::::First, The Announcer sounds reasonable to me, but secondly, let's slow ''way'' down a little bit, huh? We keep getting too far out ahead. Let's add more once we get below five or six weeks ahead (by then, the first 26 weeks will likely be in the archives and it'll be time for weeks 27 through 52). In the meantime, if it's any comfort to you, we can keep discussing ideas for the weeks that are already on here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, and by the way, in regards to the Halloween toons, can I be the first to make a suggestion there, please? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::If someone could expand '''[[Irregular Loading Screens]]''', then it would be a great choice. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::How about the [[Gremlin]]? {{User:Peter222/sig}}
:::::::::Hmm, I never thought of that one... [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Gremlin: maybe. Dunno if it's a popular enough article. Irregular Loading Screens: no. That article does not seem interesting enough to be a Featured Article even if it was expanded a bit. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Hi there, me again. This is another illustration of the problem we're having here at FAS: throwing out ideas without discussing. The conversation was going along pretty well, with support gradually emerging for [[The Announcer]], when a user comes in with a suggestion to feature [[The Gremlin]] without saying anything about the previous discussion or explaining why to feature the latter and not the former. Why is this a problem? It leaves the discussion fragmented and makes it hard to determine consensus. If I came along now to close this, I would have a very heard time telling where consensus lies. For this reason, when contributing here, always respond to what previous users have said instead of just throwing out your own ideas. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

One of the [[Thy Dungeonman]] games. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 12:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:How about an actual person? Say, [[Missy Palmer]] or [[Ryan Sterritt]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
::As important as Missy is to H*R, her write up is a bit thin. Ryan's page is actually of decent length. May I also suggest [[Y-O-U]] as a possibility (their contributions have been key a number of TBC's musical projects). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No. It is one of the Dungeonman games or else. Since we have already featured the Dungeonman himself and [[ye flask]], it makes sense to feature one of the Dungeonman games. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 10:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Umm, no, it's not "one of the Dungeonman games or else". You don't get to make decisions like that. I'd say we ought to feature Ryan, personally. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

How about [[Lowercase i's]]? That's becoming a quite large inside joke. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:Sure, Lowercase i's would be good. That one has a decent amount of text anyway. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 32]] (Aug 4-10) ===
Since we haven't done one in a while, how about a TGS issue? I'm thinking [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|the first one]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:I would advise against us featuring TGS 1 for this reason: It's a subset of the email [[comic]]. Therefore, it makes more sense to feature that email instead, as it helps show where TGS came from and gives us the first episode.
:As an alternative, perhaps TGS 11, since it has a summer theme? Alternatively, we could wait a few weeks and do TGS 4, with its back-to-school theme. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::I like the idea of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] being featured for this week. TGS as a whole has not been featured enough. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Okay, let's just do [[comic]], then, huh? I agree that TGS isn't shown more often, but let's try to save some of the post-tenth issue ones (i.e., Issue 11) for later. Besides, wouldn't it be overkill to have two summer-themed toons in a short timespan, since I proposed Summer Short Shorts at one point? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::::In agreement. Let's do the email comic. It'll be just like featuring a TGS comic, but this shows where it came from. (I actually didn't know until now) [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 01:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::If we're going to do techno two weeks before, I don't think we should do another email this week. I don't see any reason we can't do two summer-themed cartoons, but if we don't want to, I still suggest delaying TGS a few weeks and doing Issue 4 (partly because we haven't featured many early TGS episodes). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I say we shouldn't do any more summer themed Featured Articles. If any school people are at all like me (and I know some are), they will be thinking "Aww man, we hafta go back to school again soon!" by August.

::Re: the [[Double Deuce]] We look to already be doing a running gag two weeks before, so I'm thinking not such a good idea (but keep it mind for the future). Opti: Hmm, I wish there were a way to feature one of those, and if I ever think of a way, I certainly will suggest it. It's a really great amount of obscure info, but how to make it featurable I don't know. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, except the two weeks prior, the running gag is of a different variety than the Double Deuce, so no offense, but they should not be exactly comparable. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:48, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Sure, they're different types, but I still argue they're too similar in type to occur so close together. Not to mention that I think it's a bad idea how we have running gags divided into several categories, anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::If we can't have a running gag, how about [[Drive-Thru Whale]]? He's starting to become a fairly prominent pseudocharacter....{{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I think that would be sweet. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Go Drive Thru Whale! {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 18:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 34]] (Aug 18-24) ===
For this week, my option is the [[Heavy Lourde|Heavy Load. I mean, Lourde]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
:Sure. That's a good one. {{User:Peter222/sig}}
::It's a bit on the short side, but I guess it's workable. And it is an interesting object (debuted with Homsar, after all, way back in the early days of sbemail). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I dunno about this one. Most information in the article right now is either speculations or talking about other weights that look like the weight but are not the same one. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Maybe it is too much of that. I've removed what I think was the least relevant info. What's left is a bit on the short side. You reckon we could expand it? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:49, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Still, the Monty Python and bilingual labeling part of the article is still speculation. I don't think there is enough actual facts in the article to make it a FA. How about instead we do something completely different and feature the quite popular toon [[Where's The Cheat?]]. It's quite long, and it has every main character in it! {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Re:Heavy Lourde: Since no one's stepped in to fix it, I'm going to say maybe not do that one. I do kind of think it'd be nice to do an object, since we haven't featured one in a bit and we feature a lot of toons (in the generic sense; not only including big toons). Any ideas? If not, let's go ahead and do Where's The Cheat (while keeping in mind an object for a future feature). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Hey, I got an idea: if we can't do Heavy Lourde, then let's do another object, like the [[BMW Lighter]]. That's an object, too. I simply looked at the [[Category:Object running gags|list of object running gags]] and I had the idea. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::[[HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2005%2C_week_48|Already been featured]], I'm afraid. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:33, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Hmm... okay, how about [[Interactive Menus]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::I dunno, that one seems a bit lacking in content. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 35]] (Aug 25-31) ===
Perhaps a game? It's been a while since we last featured one: week 8 of this year was the last time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:How about one of the games that Strong Bad dreamed up in the [[video games]] email? Any of those would work. Or we could also do [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
::We've been delaying featuring 20X6 until level 10 comes out... though even I begin to wonder if that's worth doing anymore. On the one hand, I don't like featuring an incomplete game because the situation is a bit awkward if it ever is finished (do we ever get to showcase the complete game?) Then again, I think it's highly possible the game will never be finished, since TBC seem to have moved on to other things (such as SBCG4AP). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Then let's do the [[StrongBadZone]] game. It's one of the games that SB has dreamed up in the "video games" email. And it has a decent amount of text to boot. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I like that idea. It also begat one of the better-known H*R phrases, "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::I'd like to suggest [[Commandos in the Classroom]], as this week is close to the start of school for a lot of people, and would have tons of "OMG! BACK TO SCHOOL FRENZY!" moments. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 36]] (Sep 1-7) ===
This week would be Labor Day, and since we featured Labor Dabor last year, how about doing the "[[labor day]]" email this year? I think it fits, if only weakly. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
