Crystallina: clarified mouthwash; it's not just in Best Decemberween Ever

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of Homestar Runner and the gang, though it is unclear just which sports he coaches. He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he almost always starts with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has pretty much lost its meaning. He wears a baseball cap and is famous for the large Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit (however, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] is wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]]).

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Spin 'n Say|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has on several occasions left inappropriate messages on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|her answering machine]], including [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] where he was drunk. (Further evidence of his drinking problem is his frequent consumption of mouthwash, as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances.) Additionally, he had to apologize to her in the [[Fall Float Parade]] for "inapprapriate" comments. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[Disconnected Telephones|disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in his head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[Butt Patting|butt patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt. He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about [[Pants|pants]], whether his own or someone else's.

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These peoples try to fade me|These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], and his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[Hip Hop Dance]]."

Coach Z and Bubs had a falling out at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the e-mail [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].

Coach Z owns 4 [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on? ''{turns to the camera lens}'' Hey there, ho there! I'm the Coach! The Coach Z, I'd guess you'd call me. Or plain old Coach is fine, seein' as I'm the only one around, so, probably no one else would answer to that. You say "Hey Coach!", and I'd say "Yeah?" or..."That's me!" or..."Hoo-hah!" ''{waves his arms in the air}'' Any one of those. There's rumors flyin' around that I sleep in one of these lockers ''{gestures to the lockers behind him}'', but uh, that's just not true. I usually crash on this bench here. ''{gestures to the bench behind him}'' My back's not in real good condition. ''{rubs his back}'' And now, I'd like to perform my hip-hop single, "These peoples try to fade me." ''{holds up a microphone, begins to sing}'' A one-two, a one-two—!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears in front of camera}'' Sorry. We're all out of tape.

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

===Phonetic Sounds Affected===
The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long /e/ (i.e. The Cheat) and the short /o/ (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says it correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people.
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
**Furthermore, Marzipan implies in [[Fall Float Parade]] that Coach Z's way of speaking may just be a made-up language all in itself ("That's Pom Pom Balloon, for those of you who don't speak Coach Z").
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.

===Featured in===
*[[A Jorb Well Done]]
*[[Coach Z Talker]]

==Coach Z's "more than two problems"==

*He has admitted that he has [[Wikipedia: athlete's foot|athlete's foot]]. This was further implied as "problems with his feet" in [[rampage]].
*In [[garage sale]], he is seen gathering up all the "great for baby" items. When Strong Bad comments that "garbage sale" is "for moms only", Coach Z responds "Oh, then I'm okay to say it."
*His accent makes his speech almost incapable of comprehension
*In his characters page , he admitted that he has a bad back. He also admitted this in rampage.
*He has been drunk multiple times, sometimes even on mouthwash.
*He has really bad hand-eye coordination, as evidenced in [[cliffhangers]].
*He has an obsession with butts.

== Fun Facts ==
*Coach Z's accent came from a depressing Midwestern voice that [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and some friends would do in college.
*It was revealed in issue #21 of Wonkavision magazine that Coach Z is named after [[Craig Zobel]].
*According to [[trading cards]], Coach Z gave 23 [[Butt-Patting|butt patts]] in 1984 (22 to Homestar, 1 to himself).

*[[Other Character Variations|Coach Zed]]

In each Homestar Runner Halloween special, Coach Z has dressed up as a [[Wikipedia:Rapping|rapper]]. (The Noid costume was not released.)

I'll pitch in as possible. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking more like what we did with [[Minor Companies]]--{{User:Benol/sig}} 03:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

:I agree. Gallary is good for crossroads pages, pages that are really just a list of other pages. These pages though, which consolidates several smaller ones, is better achieved with a table, such as [[Minor Companies|here]] and [[Floppy Disk Container|there]]. I would really like to see this happen to several pages on the wiki, especially [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]]. And the best way to go about it here would be to go [[Items#Other_Foods|here]], look at the pages, and all the foods appearing once or twice, lump 'em here. That would NOT include such pages as [[Cold Ones]]. As for the pages that include recipies, I'm not sure if the recipie is really needed. Often they're not even official. But I'll leave it up to you guys, I got a bit of work to do around here for now. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:30, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

==Foods Named After Characters==

This could probably be it's own page. I got the list from one of the food items:

This product was the first of six foodstuff items in the Homestar Runner Universe to feature a main character's name on the packaging (the other products being [[The Cheatcakes]], [[Cheat Commandos O's Cereal|Cheat Commandos O's]], Coach Z Ale, [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] and [[The King of Town's Food|The KOT's Good Gravy]]).

That was refering to [[Strong Bad's EGGS]]. If somebody wants to make up a page about these, I don't see a problem with it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

:How about just a section? A full page looks like an overkill. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, if there was a page for foods named after characters I'd just be less orginized. I agree with El Coolio.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:12, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

:::Okay. A section where? On this page, or what? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Yeah. A section on this page. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:20, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::But Good Gravy's Not On This Page. Up To You Guys. I'm Done. I've Been Working on "Food" So Long, I Realized Just What A Funny Word Food Is. Seriously. Fooooood. It Looks Funny. Not Very Appatizing Either. Okay I'm Gonna Go Do Something Else. Maybe Work On My Userpage For A While. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:48, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Good morning, Mr. Email, there's a call for you on line 2. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: road trip</div>
Dear Fatty bad, 
Do you ever go on road trips with your gang?

That guy, from that place
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "I've actually lost two pounds in the last nine months, thank you very much" instead of "fatty" and "Pete from Pete's parents' basement" instead of "That guy, from that place".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! Me and The Cheat, we're roadtripcionados. And one thing I've found, is that every good road trip needs a good inside joke that only the people that ''went'' on the road trip will get. ''{clears screen}'' And your friends that ''didn't'' go on the roadtrip will want to kill your legs every time you bring it up. These days, I make up the inside joke before I go on the roadtrip, just in case one doesn't happen. For this road trip, we'll make it... jumbo/LARGE. Get it? jumbo/LARGE? It's like a maxymoron.

''{Cut to the Field. Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in front of the Gremlin; an object covered by a yellow-splotched cloth is on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, you ready to go, The Cheat? Why is Strong Mad hiding under that not-originally-yellow-spotted sheet from Strong Sad's bedroom? Not my bedroom.

''{Pan to the right so that the entire object covered by the sheet is visible}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises. Pulls back the cloth to reveal many stacked aluminum cans. Excited The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Eighty-something cases of Bull Honkey! ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' That's my favorite caffeinergy sauce! ''{back to wider view}'' Oh, this road trip is ''definitely'' going to be ''{dances}'' jumbo/LARGE.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed, quizzical The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just laugh at it. It's an inside joke. Going to be hilarious.

''{Cut to the inside of the Gremlin. The Cheat is sitting behind the wheel. Strong Bad enters the passenger's seat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Road trip city, here we come!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keys? I don't have any keys. Look, the only thing I know about this car is what Bubs told me. And that's that the windows and doors are broken and you can't open them from the inside.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. ''{under his breath}'' That was pretty poor planning on my part.

''{Cut to a distant view of a silhouette of the Gremlin against a yellow sky}}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{calling out}'' Bubs? Green Bubs? ''{a tumbleweed rolls by}'' Anybody?

''{cut back to inside the car}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, forget it. I'm not gonna let a little setback like this ruin our road trip. What we need is some grub. Pull over at this next exit over here.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns the steering wheel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know a little roadside diner called Beneath the Passenger's Seat. ''{goes under the seat}''

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

''{Cut to a view of the passenger's seat from above. Strong Bad's leg is visible on the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, we got a small order of petrifries ''{brings out three French fries covered in hair}'', a large melt shake that's almost eaten through the cup ''{brings out a, old cup that says "Melt Shake" and is stained brown on the bottom}'', ooh, and for dessert, a hot-sucked booderscotch in desperate need of a shave ''{brings out an orange, egg-shaped candy covered with hair}''.

''{return to front view of the Gremlin}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, cool, that was disgusting. Now alls we need to wash the taste out of our brains is some jammin' tunes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{exclamatory The Cheat noises. Brings out a CD that says "road trip mix".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A mix CD! ''{singing}'' That, my friend, is jumbo/LARGE. Now, let's put it in and crank it up!

''{cut to view of Gremlin's dashboard , which contains an eight-track player labeled "8-TRAX".}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to put the CD in the eight-track player. The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, just force it in there. ''{return to front view of the Gremlin}'' I'm sure that thing's forwards compatible.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pushes CD into player. The edges of the CD break off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah, The Cheat. These are some jammin' tunes! ''{singing}'' And now we're jammin'! ''{in falsetto}'' Jammin' tunes! Jammin tunes ''{in his normal voice}'' Now we're jammi— ''{shouting quickly}'' Oh, who am I kidding; this is the worst road trip over! ''{puts his head down on the dashboard}'' The Cheat ''{cut to silhouette view of the Gremlin}'', we're gonna die in this Gremlin!

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

''{The sky darkens}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{unseen, in high voices}'' And now we're jammin'! Jammin' tunes! Jammin' tunes! And now we're jammin'! Yo, lo, lo!

''{cut to view of Strong Bad and the Cheat in the Gremlin, this time from an angle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like, look at that little thing over there! ''{cut to a view looking up at the car roof}'' That could be a whole nother world. With a whole nother Strong Bad and The Cheat stuck in a Gremlin. ''{a light shines on The Cheat.}''

''{cut to a view looking out the window; Homestar Runner is standing outside holding a flashlight}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' All right, young lovers. Move it along! What do you think this is, Make-out Point?

*Click on the eighty-something cases of Bull Honkey to see a close up of a Bull Honkey can.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Petrifries is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Petrified|Petrification]], which is the process by which organic material is converted into stone or a similar substance.
*"Forwards compatible" is a takeoff of the term [[Wikipedia:Backward compatibility|backwards compatibility]], used for technology that can take the place of older products.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time we see the interior of The [[Gremlin]].
*There actually appears to be 204 cans of [[Bull Honkey]], not the 80-something cans assumed by Strong Bad.

===Inside References===
*"Bull honkey" is a reference to [[record book]], in which Strong Bad set the record for "Longest Bull Honkey".
*The [[Gremlin]] makes another appearance. It was last seen in [[Senorial Day]].

Dear Fatty bad, 
Do you ever go on road trips with your gang?

That guy, from that place

''{Strong Bad says "I've actually lost two pounds in the last nine months, thank you very much" instead of "fatty" and "Pete from Pete's parents' basement" instead of "That guy, from that place".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! Me and The Cheat, we're roadtripcionados. And one thing I've found, is that every good road trip needs a good inside joke that only the people that ''went'' on the road trip will get. ''{clears screen}'' And your friends that ''didn't'' go on the roadtrip will want to kill your legs every time you bring it up. These days, I make up the inside joke before I go on the roadtrip, just in case one doesn't happen. For this road trip, we'll make it... jumbo/LARGE. Get it? jumbo/LARGE? It's like a maxymoron.

''{Cut to the Field. Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in front of the Gremlin; an object covered by a yellow-splotched cloth is on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, you ready to go, The Cheat? Why is Strong Mad hiding under that not-originally-yellow-spotted sheet from Strong Sad's bedroom? Not my bedroom.

''{Pan to the right so that the entire object covered by the sheet is visible}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises. Pulls back the cloth to reveal many stacked aluminum cans. Excited The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Eighty-something cases of Bull Honkey! ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' That's my favorite caffeinergy sauce! ''{back to wider view}'' Oh, this road trip is ''definitely'' going to be ''{dances}'' jumbo/LARGE.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed, quizzical The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just laugh at it. It's an inside joke. Going to be hilarious.

''{Cut to the inside of the Gremlin. The Cheat is sitting behind the wheel. Strong Bad enters the passenger's seat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Road trip city, here we come!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keys? I don't have any keys. Look, the only thing I know about this car is what Bubs told me. And that's that the windows and doors are broken and you can't open them from the inside.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. ''{under his breath}'' That was pretty poor planning on my part.

''{Cut to a distant view of a silhouette of the Gremlin against a yellow sky}}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{calling out}'' Bubs? Green Bubs? ''{a tumbleweed rolls by}'' Anybody?

''{cut back to inside the car}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, forget it. I'm not gonna let a little setback like this ruin our road trip. What we need is some grub. Pull over at this next exit over here.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns the steering wheel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know a little roadside diner called Beneath the Passenger's Seat. ''{goes under the seat}''

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

''{Cut to a view of the passenger's seat from above. Strong Bad's leg is visible on the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, we got a small order of petrifries ''{brings out three French fries covered in hair}'', a large melt shake that's almost eaten through the cup ''{brings out a, old cup that says "Melt Shake" and is stained brown on the bottom}'', ooh, and for dessert, a hot-sucked booderscotch in desperate need of a shave ''{brings out an orange, egg-shaped candy covered with hair}''.

''{return to front view of the Gremlin}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, cool, that was disgusting. Now alls we need to wash the taste out of our brains is some jammin' tunes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{exclamatory The Cheat noises. Brings out a CD that says "road trip mix".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A mix CD! ''{singing}'' That, my friend, is jumbo/LARGE. Now, let's put it in and crank it up!

''{cut to view of Gremlin's dashboard , which contains an eight-track player labeled "8-TRAX".}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to put the CD in the eight-track player. The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, just force it in there. ''{return to front view of the Gremlin}'' I'm sure that thing's forwards compatible.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pushes CD into player. The edges of the CD break off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah, The Cheat. These are some jammin' tunes! ''{singing}'' And now we're jammin'! ''{in falsetto}'' Jammin' tunes! Jammin tunes ''{in his normal voice}'' Now we're jammi— ''{shouting quickly}'' Oh, who am I kidding; this is the worst road trip over! ''{puts his head down on the dashboard}'' The Cheat ''{cut to silhouette view of the Gremlin}'', we're gonna die in this Gremlin!

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

''{The sky darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like, look at that little thing over there! ''{cut to a view looking up at the car roof}'' That could be a whole nother world. With a whole nother Strong Bad and The Cheat stuck in a Gremlin. ''{a light shines on The Cheat.}''

Bull Honkey

Crystallina — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 05:07:48 GMT

Crystallina:

[[Image:Bullhonkey.png|thumb|Essential for any jumbo-large road trip.]]

'''Bull Honkey''' is an energy drink, similar to [[Wikipedia:Red Bull|Red Bull]].

I don't know if this is an official running gag yet or not, but ""Mashing go/play" on something is seen in Everybody Knows It, flashback, alternate universe, and the introduction to Disc One of strongbad_email.exe" is pretty ugly. {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 07:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

"Mash" as opposed to "press" as in "mash go" is typical in the South. Since the brothers Chaps are from Atlanta, I think it makes sense that they say "mash." Just thought it was worth mentioning. The same applies to "nana" instead of "grandma."

== I feel like I'm missing something. ==

There's no Arrow'd Guy in this ep. It's like a staple of the series has been neglected. So sad... {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
: Now that I think about it, this is the first TGS not to include Tompkins since he was introduced as well. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

: Maybe they are creating new inside jokes since it is the 11th issue. Maybe they will use a maniac in a speedo and the spaceman in later issues. - [[User:Jhonka|Jonka]]
::According to the minor characters page, this episode introduced more new minor characters than any other one. I guess they just didn't have room/forgot/didn't care. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 03:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
:::It indicates the strength of the TGS series that they don't need to rely this much on recurring characters. After the "jumping the shark" hints in episode 10, I'm relieved that they've been able to move on. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

== Leet Speak ==

Does anyone else think Cheerleader's line "Your stepmom is teh fascist" counts as [[Internet Slang|leet speak]]? I'm not sure if I should add it as a fact. --[[User:Bobmario2|Bobmario2]] 03:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
:Nope, just counts as a misspelling of 'the'. {{User:NFITC1/sig}}
:I disagree. I believe that "teh" is common internet slang/leet speek. Also, the use of such language is common in Teen Girl Squad past. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 06:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, I use "teh" all the time, as in "teh coolness", "gimme teh cookies", etc. While it isn't leet according to leet's definition (random numbers inserted, which would make teh t3h, which I also see a lot), it is internet slang. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]

Is it possible that the name of the camp could also be a referrence to all of the TGSers ultimate goal...getting to first base with a boy?
:Could be. That would mirror the name of the boys' camp: tgs want to get to first base, the boys want cosplay. But what does the "wassa" stand for? {{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
::There are two other baseball references in the toon. Maybe they're related. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

Crystallina — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 14:32:45 GMT

Crystallina: typos

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

=====A Helicopter=====
This helicopter attacked some [[The Birds|birds]] with machine guns. Surprisingly, this aircraft was the first object to harm living creatures in the entire series, yet its victims did not include one of the girls. [[Strong Bad]] supplied the rapid fire noise of its deadly projectiles.
|-

=====The Dinosaur=====
The [[Dinosaurs|dinosaur]] punted [[What's Her Face]] across the cartoon. Just after this, she was heard to remark, "Dag, yo." She is presumed to have died upon landing. The dinosaur also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, where it was revealed to have bloody teeth.

|-
|[[Image:paul_no_I_in_team.png|150px|No "I" in dead either]] ||

=====No "i" in team boy=====
He is a boy who goes out with [[So and So]], which causes her friends to get jealous. When So and So mentions that she's totally crushing, the boy gets hit by a school bus (driven by [[Arrow'd Guy]]) marked "'''CHILDREN'''". He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. He appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].

|-
|[[Image:Thrift_Store_Girl.PNG|150px|Boy or girl?]] ||
=====Thrift Store Person=====
This person is found at the thrift store that [[What's Her Face]] shopped at, where she stays behind a rack of shirts, holding a sign that reads, "1 or 2 cent each item." In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] DVD commentary, Strong Bad says that she is a "homeless woman."
|-
|[[Image:Possum_Attack.PNG|150px|"Poooosssssummmmms...!"]] ||

=====Possums=====
A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked What's Her Face as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her. The possum attack apparently made [[What's Her Face]]'s blood hurt. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Bretterson are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].
|-
| [[Image:quarterback.png|150px|Quarterman]] ||
=====Quarterback=====
The quarterback for the Fighting Growlbacks is a target of the affections of [[Cheerleader]]. He dismisses her with the quip "How's about you get some brains?" This causes Cheerleader to get CEREBELLUM'D by [[Arrow'd Guy]]'s [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Giant_Brain_Mech|Giant Brain Mech]]. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Cerebellumed_Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||
=====Giant Brain Mech=====
The Giant Brain Mech is a giant brain with lips and an eye patch. It is apparently mechanical, because [[Arrow'd Guy]] can be seen controlling the brain under a glass dome. The brain CEREBELLUM'D! [[Cheerleader]] when the Quarterback suggested that she should go get some brains.

=====Fat Bird=====
The fat bird is first seen in Issue 5, perched on the "meanwhile, ON VACATION" sign in the transition scene. Later in the cartoon, when The Ugly One gets nervous and sticks her head in the sand, the fat bird flies down and perches on her side. The bird doesn't seem to do anything after that. It just sits there with its tongue hanging out for the rest of the cartoon.
|-
| [[Image:oldaboys.png|150px|Lying around...]] ||
=====Olda Boys=====
The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They can combine their sayings into a pretty cool jam. The longer-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Famous or Cool Guys.PNG|150px|Cool or famous]] ||
=====[[Wikipedia:Henry Rollins|Henry Rollins]], [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]], and [[Wikipedia:George Washington|George Washington]]=====
These are the "cool or famous" people who look at the nervous The Ugly One and then parasail with So and So. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[Lions|lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||
=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:hawiianguy.png|150px|Singing about babies]] ||

=====Hawaiian Guy=====
This musician wears a Hawaiian shirt and plays a ukulele. He sang "Wave o' Babies" as a wave of babies appeared. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:gazelle_carcass_half-digested.PNG|150px|Bonus: Half-Digested!]] ||
=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]] to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

He's a fat man who wears a singlet similar to Strong Mad's. He fell down a slide and squished Teeny Tiny Cheerleader while she was throwing a tantrum. He bears a striking resemblance to pro wrestler [[Wikipedia:Chris Pallies|King Kong Bundy]].
|-
| [[Image:billbellamy.png|150px|The bell tolls for thee]] ||
=====Bill Bellamy=====
This is the bell seen in Issue 7 in the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad's [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Diaper School|preschool]]. His role is similar to that of the Intercom, but specific relationship details are unknown. He bears the same name as actor and comedian [[IMDB:nm0004740|Bill Bellamy]].

|[[Image:TGS_Intercom.png|120px|Who's that hiding in the wheel?]] ||
=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-
|[[Image:stepmom.jpg|150px|"YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!"]] ||

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-
|[[Image:FattysBigChance2.png|150px|Consider it Picked!]] ||

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands. With his [[Wikipedia:Two Tone|two tone]] suit and rousing chant of "pick it up, pick it up," Fatty is a [[Wikipedia:Ska|ska]] machine. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Trollswantautograph.PNG|150px|KRA'AGH!]] ||

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DiED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||
=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

|-
|[[Image:SciFiGreg.png|120px|He knew she'd come back to him]] ||
=====Science Fiction Greg=====
Science Fiction Greg is an old boyfriend of What's Her Face, and, judging by his name, is a science fiction fan. After Cheerleader died, he admits that he knew that she (What's Her Face) would come back to him. He also claims that his experience points went into triple digits and he has since needed to keep the ladies and valkyries off with a two-handed +3 broad sword. As these are all Dungeons and Dragons terms, this claim bites D N' D Greg's style. He also attends "Cosplayer Camp" in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]], where he dresses as a space man. His bare chest can create a "Blinding voip", as Cheerleader discovers the hard way.

Crystallina: /* The poopsmith speaketh!? */

== Is the KOT Very Own Show a reference to Butter's Own Episode on South Park ==

Just a comment about the thoughts I had before realizing it was a sbemail instead of a KOT short!
~OptimumCoder

==Almond paste filled sweet delight==
I think Strong Bad is talking about Marzipan here... you know, the real type.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 16:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

:From Wikipedia: "Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight." Sounds reasonable to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::I like it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH... I get it now. That fact was extremely poorly worded, hence my removal of it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== The poopsmith speaketh!? ==

Did the poopsmith really just speak in this email? The voice sounds exactly like the poopsmith's in different town, but the poopsmith is shown shrugging afterwards like that wasn't his voice. I'd like to say that he didn't, but I'm not too sure about it. What are your opinions? - Wevegottapulse

:I think it was him. Who else could it be? It sounded like he was about to lead the band into that "Oh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::Reply to Trey: Totally different "Ohhh Yeah", actually. The one in this email is higher-pitched and was pretty common to hear in this kind of music. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::There's certainly enough suggestion there (that this was The Poopsmith). Might I also point out that this was done in the same voice as the "Hello!" in [[different town]].
::THEN AGAIN! That was in Strong Bad's imagination. Do we have proof that this scene was NOT in Strong Bad's imagination? Did this senior prom actually happen? If not, having The Poopsmith speak here might not be as unusual as it would be if this senior prom really did happen. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I personally think its safe to assume this email wasn't in Strong Bad's imagination. With how Strong Bad actually got The Cheat and Strong Mad to help him and all. (If it was, then we really can't trust anything that happens in H*R ever again. >.> ) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Fair enough. :) Since we can't absolutely prove it was The Poopsmith who said "Ohhh yeah!", there's a Fun Fact there that ties this occurrence together with [[different town]]. I believe that should suffice. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::Everyone thought it was him, but Mr. Smith shook his head and shrugged, as if to say, "It wasn't me! I don't know who that was!"[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 19:32, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::Did the Oh Yeah remind anyone else of the Kool-Aid Man's catchphrase? Before the Poopsmith was shown I thought that was who was speaking. Don't know if it's good enough to be a Real Life reference. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 20:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== More than two prom...blems? ==

Current Fun Fact:

*Marzipan's comment "...every freakin' year...." implies that she has attended the senior prom more than once. Because it is typically the final dance in high school, most people only attend the senior prom once.

I edited this from another version that said "it seems implausible that she would have attended it more than once". I beg to differ: There are a few reasons why she could have. (1) She could have gotten held back and repeated <s>the third grade</s> her senior year multiple times. (2) She could have gone with Homestar in previous years (and he'd probably be more likely to get held back). And (3) She could have served some other purpose in previous years.

My point is, I don't think we have enough to go on to say why she'd be at the prom multiple years. But a lot of cartoons and comics run on the implication that the characters never age, and they repeat the same years of their lives each year (a 365-day version of Groundhog Day, or something). That seems plausible in the HR Universe as well. Thus, I think the Fun Fact should kinda gloss over the "implausibilities" and relate Marzipan's comment to the way it is in real life.

[[the show|And for the block, do you agree?]] {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: I agree. Also, Marzipan could have simply ''heard'' that pantless-Strong Bad won Prom Queen multiple years in a row or whatever happened. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It makes more sense to me that they just all go to a senior prom every year. [[User:130.127.84.204|130.127.84.204]] 18:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ==

I would suggest that there definitely needs to be a reference regarding the ongoing pants/no-pants debate regarding Coach Z and Homestar. This seems to put the nail in the coffin that there are, in fact, no pants going on with either of them. Although (he realizes) it could also be argued that Coach Z wears a body suit, which doesn't technically have any stand-alone pants, which still leaves the door open for his "green-body/green body suit" ambiguity. (PS: Stand Alone Pants would be a great name for a rock band.)
:There's a reference to [[Homestar's Pants]] already on the page. That's where the debate is most fully explained. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::Whether or not this is proof Homestar doesn't wear pants should be put up for a vote me thinks. The obvious argument for would be the fact that his pants didn't poof away at all and his discussion with pompom during the easteregg seemed to imply he was covering. The arguments against could be that Strong Bads remote malfunctioned, or perhaps Homestar wears pants that look exactly like his legs!

== Thank Goodness! ==

I'ma just glad Strong Bad wore undawears this day. Thank you, thank you. Back to where I was! {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 18:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. I actually didn't realise that Strong Bad was the only one in the group that wears pants until now. Maybe Bubs too, but he wasn't in the shot. I can't imagine how Bubs would look pantsless.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 18:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: There's something I'd prefer not to think about... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

==Hey, ummm, everybody?==

This wasn't really the senior prom. It all happens in the present, and evrybody was probably preforming for Strong Bad's little idea thing.
:See Joshua's comment above, about whether it was in SB's imagination or not. If it wasn't a canonical occurence, then we really can't trust anything that happens on H*R.com again. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== All the Kingsmen ==

I know the band's name All the King's Men is more than likely a reference to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty (which remarkably isn't in RWR). But it could also be a reference to the rock band "The Kingsmen", famous for their cover of "Louie Louie". [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 20:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
*It sounds plausible to me - sort of like Before and After Puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. It would fit the situation, since that seems to be the cover band type. Do I detect a double meaning? {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 20:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Should knowledge base be capitalized? ==

I just noticed knowledge base was hyphenated in the welcome line and fixed that, but I also noticed it's capitalized in the browse box. I was going to be bold and lowercase it, but then I thought twice and figured I should ask. My inclination would be to uncapitalize it, but what do you think? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 02:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

== Metadata in image description pages ==

[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Image:comma_discovery.jpg&curid=2742&diff=290324&oldid=290316 This edit] just about takes the cake. I have absolutely no idea what [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] changed because I can't ''see'' it. The metadata is in the way. 1024x768 resolution tabs bar open in SeaMonkey and Modern Pinball skin applied. Any way we could fix this, or alternatively not display the metadata? I'm all for having to scroll left and right if it comes to that. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 05:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:This appears to be fixed in the next version of MediaWiki, or at the very least, with Wikipedia's current styling of the metadata. We should look into the difference between how we currently style it and how they do. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

::You can see what they said by scrolling over the text and copying it to notepad. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Perhaps just putting <code>clear:both</code> under <code>table.diff</code> in [[Mediawiki:Monobook.css]] would do the trick? Which is to say that it would work, but I don't want to do it without knowing whether it would break anything. I doubt it would though. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

::::I'm sorry, I thought we were looking at the actual description page and not the diff itself. Phlip, that does work, but wouldn't we want to move the metadata down instead of the diff? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Sorry to "butt" in, but wouldn't it perhaps be more prudent to simply prevent the metadata from appearing at all? Perhaps we have no choice but to have it appear.

:Hmmm... Homestar doesn't exactly even [[Lack of Visible Arms|have arms]] on the conventional sense. But yeah, interesting. As a side note, most Muppets are left handed.

::What is the point of viewing recent changes in RSS? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 17:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
:::That's a good question. I personally have never found it useful. It's probably used less for human consumption and more for other things like feeding recent changes to a maintenance bot, for instance, or having them show up in real time in a chat room. RSS is just a nice way of packaging the recent changes for use elsewhere. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

== Watchlist ==

This is kinda wierd, but I'm sure somebody has an explanation; 
 
I just went in to edit the items on my watchlist, and I found 2 pages listed that not only don't exist, but I did not put on my watchlist:

* Briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs, Wayne Rooney thinks you're all freaking sick oddballs who ********** over George W. Bush in his underwear, plus $20,000
* Willy on Wheels on Wheels, on wheels

The second one thinks that this is just a type of vandalism. Is there any way to protect against it? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 03:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

:What must have heppened: some vandal moved a page you were watching to that name. Then it was deleted and recreated for any of a number of reasons. There's no one hacking into your Watchlist, rest assured - the hacking was done to the page you had set to watch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::Right. If you're watching "Page A" and it gets moved to "Page B", then now you're automatically watching both the old name "Page A" and the new name "Page B". If a vandal moves "Page A" to "Page A ON WHEELS", you end up watching both of those pages too. Even after the visible damage is reverted and the extra page is deleted, "Page A ON WHEELS" will still show up in your full watchlist as a red link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::: Thanks. It turns off both were moves of this page itself. In the future, I'll just delete these links. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 03:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Well anyway, the "Bear Holding a Shark T-Shirt" link needs to be change on account of the reorganized store section. Could someone please change the link to "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Store_T-Shirts#tshirt_bear-shark" Thanks! [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 06:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
:Done. BTW, when you need to change something in the "What's new" section of the Main Page, you actually need to edit [[Template:whatsnew]]. That's where the text in that part of the page is. You can't edit the Main Page because it's protected so that only sysops can edit it.

Sorry to everyone for the lack of notice, but MediaWiki was getting so unweildy we decided to just go through with the regrade before really preparing the community. The admins and sysops have been discussing this for a few months in Da Basement (it's all been archived by now, but you'll find it there if you look). We decided to do this now for three reasons: (1) MediaWiki has way too many SQL tables. That was creating a lot of unnecessary overhead and it was really starting to tax the server. 'Tavi has a smaller database, so it should work better. (2) MediaWiki is really designed for multi-server load balancing systems like Wikipedia. After using it for over a year now we've become painfully aware just how kludgy MediaWiki is when it's running on a single server like ours. 'Tavi should be able to handle our single-server system much better. (3) Surprisingly, MediaWiki had no optimization of it's X32 page caching, which was really starting to eat up a lot of space on our server. 'Tavi recently rolled out better X45 page caching that looks to revolutionize the wiki market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other wikis switch to 'Tavi now that 'Tavi has stepped it up a notch. Again, sorry for the short notice, but we felt we had to do it now before MediaWiki crashed the server and caused unrecoverable data loss. If you have any more specific questions about the regrade, feel free to ask them here or on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]]. Cheers! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 05:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not really so sure if this is either MediaWiki or WikiTikkiTavi. There is evidence to support the fact that it's still MediaWiki, like the usage of underscores and other URL stuffs (from my knowledge, WikiTikkiTavi does not have underscores in their URLS, plus there's no index.php/ directory), and some of the retained information from MediaWiki, like even the edit page. On the other hand, there's the evidence the administrators have given, pointing toward the fact that information from MediaWiki might have been retained, and is pending its erase. Besides, the administrators are the only ones with access to the server and raw access to files.

== Aftermath ==
Well, April Fools Day is over and all you crazy users can calm down and get out from your bomb shelters. The wiki was never in any real danger of lame-itude. (But we were pretty dang convincing, weren't we? :P) On a side note, we probably reached a world record for most main page discussion in a 24-hour period. :) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 05:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:264 edits. That is not a small number! - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 05:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:OK, Joke's over. Just keep moving along, there's nothing to see here, go on. Go on, get out! What're you looking at? [[User:Phlip/Aprilween|See the rundown of what happened yesterday - or at least, my version of it]] Warning: very long-winded {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:09, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry folks. Everything we said in the past few sections was pretty much a big joke. You can disregard all that. There are no server problems with MediaWiki. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

(sniff) You juys are so mean. (sniff). Nice prank. NEVER DO IT AGAIN! - {{User:NachoMan/sig}}
:You guys are tricky, you tricky little devils. Specially you, phlip and Lapper. {{User:DBK/sig}} 05:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Well played, admins. There were times when I was half-convinced it was real. Still kinda mean, though. :-({{User:Bassbone/sig}}
::Who would've thought we'd all lie on April Fools Day? And completely disregard all your screens of pain and torture? :P It was fun watching some of you guys squirm, though. I must be sadistic. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 05:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Well now I like Trubuchet MS as my font, so you accomplished something :p {{User:DBK/sig}} 05:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::::We also learned that a some of you guys care about the outside of a wiki more than the inside. ;) If something like this had to happen for real, we'd be prepared for the outbreak! Whee... - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 05:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:::::Well, I'dc still use it as a knowledge base, but I doubt I'd continue to edit it. WikiTikiTavi look made my head hurt. {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

You got ''nothing'' out of me. {{User:Salty/sig}} 06:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Just one thing... can someone catalogue everyone who made a joke sig? That really confused me. So far, I've noticed...

* Jay pretending to be Thunderbird pretending to be Seriously pretending to be Tom.
* Lapper pretending to be Homestramy20 pretending to be Rogue Leader.
* Seriously pretending to be Bluebry Muffin, Granola, and... Propel?
* The Thing pretending to be Dr. Who
* Bluebry Muffin changing sigs every 30 seconds.
* Has Matt? pretending to be Bubsty.

Any others I missed? -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:You know what stinks though? You guys will never be able to pull something like this again :p {{User:DBK/sig}} 06:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::I can safely say I was the most involved in this. I wrote a huge and melodramatic essay, I yelled at users, and I recieved a chill pill from AbviViklas. I was standing up for the sysops the whole time. I figured it was the only thing we could do. So many people thought it was a joke, and I got ''so mad at them''.....I love you guys. You people are the greatest. I've never been fooled so greatly. You guys get a danish. Sincerely yours, Seriously's sig that is still a-broke

== A Confession ==

Ok, I have to confess before I burst. I knew this was all a prank. Though my message earlier *was* correct, in a sense...it's not quite as it sounds... I discovered this completely by accident. The other night, around 3-ish in the morning (my time), I stopped in to check for last minute updates before I headed to bed (I'm a night owl, yeah), and the Wiki was in "April Fools" mode. I had no clue what was going on, so I naturally made a post on the main discussion page, asking whether it was vandalism, a hacker, or an early April Fools prank. Well, the post was pulled very quickly, and It's Dot Com messaged me, saying that my suspicions were correct, and I agreed to keep it quiet...and in fact, I helped the joke along by twisting the facts a bit, as a way of apologizing for nearly blowing it for them. So, it's nothing special. Just a case of me being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I couldn't '''tell''' anyone, because it'd have ruined the joke. I hope no harm was done. I have to admit, the acting job of Joey, Jay, Thunderbird, Tom, and the rest of the staff was masterful, and had I not known about the cherade beforehand, I, too, would've probably been freaking out. Congrats, you guys. You're awesome. This year's April Fools Day prank by far exceeded that of the official H*R site! -[[User:YK|YK]] (Not Y2K, BazookaJoe...or whichever admin that was. I lost track. =P)
:Y2K is your scewed-up Aprilween name. :) —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:26, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::I'll keep that in mind for next year. =P -[[User:YK|Y2K]]
:::I tried hard to keep the facade alive. And, in all actuality, I didn't know that it was coming until it did (I never once doubted that it was a prank, though.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Was any of this part of those tests yous guys were doing the past few days? {{User:Salty/sig}} 06:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::::'''EDIT CONFLICTx2:'''I figured it out because I have a laptop, so I rarely shut Windows down. I just close the lid and put it into "Hibernate" mode, so when I booted up this afternoon I was looking at old revisions, and I did a soft refresh on recent changes, and got this weird combination of the Monobook and Tavi skins. I actually to believe it when I looked at the revision history of [[MediaWiki:Monobook.js]] and [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] and saw that they weren't edited recently. Then I went looking for how 'Tavi could have all of MediaWiki's signature features, and found out that the most recent versions of it have quite a few of them and that almost all of the rest can be pretty easily added. So I went from tongue in cheek amazement to actually believing myself. Then I leave for a while, but with my computer in Hibernation, come back, check a few pages I'd already been to today with the Tavi skin still showing up. I go to leave somebody a message, and (I hadn't been to their userpage in a while) and...Whoah! I've been punk'd(sp?). Kudos to y'all for making me completely confuse myeslf. I knew there was a reason I liked this place. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:17, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I want to thank YK for playing along. Phlip and I wanted to make sure the modifications wouldn't majorly break anything, so we rolled it out for 11 minutes a few nights ago. Just as I was putting everything back to normal we were spotted. Here, in full, is the lost text of YK's main page talk message:<blockquote><big>'''... the old Wiki?'''</big> ... ok, why exactly am I seeing the old version of the Wiki? Albeit with everything recent intact. Hacker? Glitch? Or... come on, April Fools' Day isn't for a couple more days, people. =P -[[User:YK|YK]] 10:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
:Now it's back to normal... that was... odd. -[[User:YK|YK]] 10:49, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
::Or not. It reverted to normal when I posted this, but if I try to view any other page, it's back to the old Wiki.

This question was about, when the whole Homestar runer wiki being different?

After reading that in the Wiki article for Homestar runner wiki, it was a april fools prank, i thought it wasn't so bad? [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 05:58, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:i just barely started tolerating it.. maybe admins could put the tavi thing as another skin for those that actually liked it. i however, very much disliked it. good joke, kinda cruel.. :P someone could make an alternate main page with the tavi on it for those that liked it.. would be kinda interesting. not that i would use it. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 06:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

::::It's true that we did keep it going, but we couldn't just say, "Aw, shucks, you're right. It's a joke." That would ruin the whole point. I promise we'll be straight with you the other 364 days of the year, but you should never believe ''anything'' unusual on April 1 without a huge, ''huge'' dose of skepticism. Ever.

Those that just went along with it so as not to [[the process|spoil the magic]] for other users (You know who you are), thank you.

:::Dot com, I was ''so serious'' about this, it wasn't even funny.

Peasant's Quest Responses

Crystallina — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 05:08:20 GMT

Crystallina: /* G */

There are many responses that the game gives you in the game [[Peasant's Quest]]. Here is a list of all that have been found. When more than one option is given, such as "get/take _____", either word will produce the same response.

{{compactTOC3}}

===#===

===A===
*'''"Ask about _____":'''
**'''Baby:'''
***(to Baby Lady) - "This little guy's all I got left. If only someone would steal back all our riches from that filthy Jhonka."
**'''Fire:'''
***(to knight) - "Well, whenever I see peasants, they tend to be on fire. So get yourself on fire. I hear horse grease gives a nice, controlled burn."
***(to baby lady) - "You need fire? A couple of trees over by the waterfall used to be on fire. But now there's like a signal lantern over there or something." / "So should I ask that signal lantern?" you ask. / "I dunno man! Whattaya want from me?"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Trogdor just burned down some idiot peasant's cottage. You should ask him," says Mendelev. / "Yeah, this jerk goes on vacation to some prancey lake and..." / They see you staring daggers at them and turn bright red. / "Oh. Nevermind," says Dongolev. "Um, yeah. What's a fire?" adds Mendelev.
***(to Jhonka) - "Burninator make fire! Barbecue all peasants!"
***(to innkeeper) - "I've always preferred being on fire at night. Looks prettier and keeps the butterflies away."
**'''Jhonka:'''
***(to knight) - "Since the Kerrek showed up, we don't see the Jhonka so much anymore. He lives in that little cave over in west Peasantry."
***(to Baby Lady) - "That nasty thing killed my husband and took my riches!!" / "I thought Trogdor killed your husband," you interject. / "Oh right. Yeah. That's what I said. Trogband killed my husbdor."
***(to Jhonka) - "The Kerrek is dead!" he cries and hops around some more. You wonder how someone this primitive could have made that much dough.
**'''Kerrek:'''
***(to knight) - "I call him Big Stinky. He's slow and stupid, but he'll pound you into milks meat without a second thought."
**'''Naked Ned:'''
***(to knight) - "That weirdo used to live over in west Peasantry but now I guess he just prances around the forest in his birthday suit."
***(to baby lady) - "Don't talk about that pervert in front of the baby here."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "That guy creeps us out. In fact, shut up about him."
***(to Jhonka) - "Filthy naked peasant! Stay away from my cave-hole!" Who's he calling naked? HE'S the one wearing the string bikini.
***(to innkeeper) - "He used to be such a nice, clothed young man. Wonder what he's done with all his old clothes?"
**'''robe:'''
***(to knight) - "Peasants wear those brown robes. You know, with the rope around the waist. Get yourself one of those."
***(to baby lady) - "You can't have mine, pervert! I'm not a nudist peasant like that weirdo over in west Peasantry!"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "We wouldn't know. We only wear archer clothes. You just can't arch real well in a robe, y'know?"
***(to Jhonka) - ''see naked ned''
***(to innkeeper) - "I wear my robe hood-down so it's easier to trim my ear-hairs. If you need a robe, maybe try someone that's not using theirs."
**'''smell:'''
***(to knight) - "I never met a peasant that didn't stink. If you wanna smell bad, get the Kerrek involved. That thing reeks!"
***(to baby lady) - "What smells is junior here's drawers! I gotta quit feeding him so much horse!" / "And don't start asking me for his diapers, sicko!"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "That giant pig running around sure smells bad. Maybe talk to him."
***(to Jhonka) - "Kerrek smell! Now Kerrek dead!" screeches the Jhonka. So you can infer from this that all smells are dead? You always sucked at the analytical questions.
***(to innkeeper) - "Well, if you don't stink, maybe find something that does and wear it. Like a dead carcass or summat."
**'''trogdor:'''
***(to knight) - "If I had a gold coin for every whining peasant's cottage that freaking dragon burninated, I'd be rich as a jhonka."
***(to baby lady) - "I hope you kill that stupid dragon. My 'Wives of Squished Peasants' support group would bake you a Poor Gary pie if you did."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Oh man, there was this one time when I came THIS close to having Trogdor ARROWED!" says Dongolev. / "Hey, shut up! That was me!" interrupts Mendelev, "YOU almost arrowed that blue baby!" says Dongolev. [sic] / "Did not!" / "Did so!" / "Did not!" / (You see where this is going.)
***(to Jhonka) - "All hail Burninator! Trogdor Number One! Beat Peasant Tech!" says the grimy Jhonka.
***(to innkeeper) - "Are you talking about that young green boy that lives up the street? He's always tearing my roof off and eating my customers."
**'''anything else:'''
***(to knight) - "I don't know anything about that, short pants."
***(to baby lady) - "I dunno what you're talking about."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Either we don't know anything about that, or you're real boring."
***(to Jhonka) - "Jhonka don't know nothing bout that!"
***(to innkeeper) - "I don't know nothing about no whatever you just said."
***(anywhere else) - "Ask about what?"

Hey, my mom's making peasant-kabobs for dinner TOO! Right. Anyway. You dead. Thanks for playing, and try not to die." '''Warning:''' As you can see, this kills you.

Crystallina:

==More of the same==
Another 'hey, this is what all the music from this genre sounds like' strong bad email? Oh well, the rusty meat was funny.
:Strong Bad likes generalisations, doesn't he? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::totally. also notice all of those bands are incredibly bad and steriotypically punk. are the brothers chaps trying to send some sort of message here? [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 20:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Yes, I agree, all two of those bands were very punk. And those deutch sounding words that Taranchula used sounded like they could've been more punk than metal as well. And I know TBC were trying to make a legitimate contribution to the death metal scene, but trying just ain't good enough. They should really think twice before making such laughable music.

::::The music is laughable on purpose. This was a good one.

:::::This is why I don't sign sarcastic comments.

==Square Mad==
I thought [[Strong Mad]] bending down was very... Insightful. I had no idea just how "Square" he really was... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, that guy's like a big square. It's just weird is all. Un...settling. And creepy. Although we've seen that sort of thing in [[fingers]] before. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::We also get a sense of Strong Mad's shape in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], though the character styles are a bit different there. I think this cartoon shows it the most clearly, so far. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:::The Strong Mad Figurine is also a big square, replicated exactly as seen in the cartoon. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Mmmmh. I gotta get that set soon. I've only got set #2. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the figurine has him with more of a football-shaped top. {{User:Salty/sig}} 21:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:But still really flat though, right? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Oh yeah, flat as a pamcake. {{User:Salty/sig}} 22:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
This is not at all the first time we've seen the top of Strong Mad's body, so I don't see why it should say that... --[[User:Spanky The Dolphin|Spanky The Dolphin]] 23:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

When was another time? [[User:Darthvader66|Darthvader66]] 01:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:There was [[fingers]], and we see him from the side in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]. {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that actually reall freaked me out, when he bended over. I was creepy! o_0 {{User:Bassium!/sig}}

::Should we mention this as a fast-forward in the email the facts?--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 03:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:::No. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I think that it should be mentioned ''somewhere''. This is the first time we've seen Strong Mad with any amount of perspective. Obviuosly we can't account for every minute change over the years, but this is revolutionary!!! (jk) --[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 05:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:The big thing is that his top has been seen before, in [[fingers]]. It just wasn't as obvious as it was this time. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I thought Strong Mad was funny looking when I saw the top of him. [[User:Gm1121983|Gm1121983]] 10:36 pm, 26 January 2006

== What the crap is up with the edit conflicts?? ==

Did something change in MediaWiki recently that causes edit conflicts to occur when two people submit edits to COMPLETELY DIFFERENT sections of the page at the same time? Twice now, I've had to resolve multiple edit conflicts while I'm editing, say, Easter Eggs, and another person edits Remarks. I thought MediaWiki was supposed to be smart enough to handle both of those edits independently of one another. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:I thought so, too. Anyhow, it's bugging the crap out of me. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
::It just did it for me as well. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:15, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

== OMG, it's Taranchula! ==

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe this is the first time we've actually SEEN Taranchula in person. Shouldn't that be noted? -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]
:We see Matt Chapman play Dave Bjornborg in the [[strongbad_email.exe_Disc_Two|Strong Bad Email DVD feature]] ''Moving Very Slowly''. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::Certianly the referance from Email 16 should be noted. - Narpas

== Bjornborg ==

Dave ''Bjornborg'' seems like it comes from [[Sample of Style]]. Perhaps that name was floating around in TBC's heads when they were naming Taranchula members. Thoughts? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:The only problem with that theory is that [[Wikipedia:Björn Borg|Björn Borg]] is a real person. So really, it's more like they're two indepedent real-world references. I think I'll add it in as a Real-World reference, though. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

== Oregon ==

It's intersting to me that Strong Bad seems to have learnt to pronounce "Oregon" correctly in the past 120 emails: back in [[spring cleaning]], he incorrectly called it "Or-e-gahn". I imagine that's not exactly worthy of a reference on the page, but I did think it was notable. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:I thought of that too, though it's not especially notable. Sometimes Strong Bad pronouces it correctly, sometimes he doesn't. I can't think of any examples right now, but if you take a look at [[Strong Bad Email By Place]], I'm sure you'll find some. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 03:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::True, although unlike most of Strong Bad's funny pronunciations, that one may not have been intentional, since Or-e-gahn is a common pronunciation error.
:::I always figured people mispronounced "Oregon" in the same way they (correctly) pronounce "Polygon", "Hexagon", etc. - as if "Oregon" was a type of polygon. In any event, it's a common enough pronunciation issue that it's probably not worth noting, any more than just putting in the transcript that he puts the emphasis on "Gon". {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::Oh, and another thing: Strong Bad spelt "Whoa" the more normal way in this email after having spelt it "Woah" for quite some time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:Interestingly enough, it's not uncommon for midwesterners to pronounce it or-eh-GAHN as there's an Oregon Illinois whose name is commonly pronounced that way.

== Delouse ==

I don't know if this is valid or not, but the band "The Mars Volta" named their first album "Deloused in the Comatorium". They are not a death metal band by any means, but "delouse" is really not a very common word. Does anyone think this might be a reference?
:After hearing their stuff (and rather enjoying it, in a "this must be good for my brain in some way" way), no; I think "delouse" was just a hilarious word choice, and in all the zillions of bands out there it was just a given that someone would have used it in some way. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

== First email with live-action? ==

Is this the first sbemail that features live-action video? I don't know if any previous one has it so maybe it should be mentioned. Just a thought.
:Limozeen did show up in an easter egg for [[flashback]]. There may be other examples, but that's the one I could think of immediately. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:42, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed that Taranchula's logo is extremely similar to the logo of ''Immolation'', a popular death metal band. Check it out:

[[Image:Immolfire.gif|''Immolation logo'']]

[[User:Terlet Brush|Terlet Brush]] 01:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

:Interesting. If that holds, it should be listed in [[Taranchula]]'s article. :) Good find! {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
::I just put it in the [[Taranchula]] article, with the two logos side by side. <s>It probably should be mentioned in [[band names]] too. </s>[[User:Terlet Brush|Terlet Brush]] 06:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Done. [[User:Terlet Brush|Terlet Brush]] 06:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

:I'd also like to say that, to my eyes at least, at least Taranchula's is readable... Just sayin'. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think part of the issue there is that the center of the letters appear to be set to transparent, and intended for use on a black background. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:::I've uploaded a clearer image here ({{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:34, 19 January 2006 (UTC)):[[Image:Immolation logo.jpg]]
::::Yes, that's much better. [[User:Terlet Brush|Terlet Brush]] 21:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

== Jaranchula ==

I think its pretty clear that the Scandinavian band says "Ja, we are Jaranchula"
This makes sense because the first letter is so stylized that it looks like a J.

== ladeezluvlarry71 ==

Incidentally, Conan O'Brien had LL Cool J on his show very recently and introduced him by his full stage name (Ladies Love Cool James - see most recent RW Reference). That probably explains why TBC thought to give Larry that screenname. [[User:Terlet Brush|Terlet Brush]] 14:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

== Lyrics to "The Decoupage"? ==

Anybody catch the words to the music video? I got "You will submit to the decoupage" and then lost it after that. Little help? [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 15:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

* I also heard it as "You will submit to the decoupage." Just to back you up. - [[User:204.155.72.129|204.155.72.129]] 23:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious about another thing: I heard the one line as "death knell," not "death nail." (A death knell being a church bell tolled when someone dies; the prase seems to be popular in poems about death.) But I'm unsure. I dunno what the procedure is for approving such changes, so I'll wait until someone does before I change it. - [[User:Octan|Octan]] 9:06PM, January 20 2006 (EST)
:Actually, the "procedure" is exactly what you're doing. Congratulations! (The hierarchy: if it's not a big deal and fairly uncontroversial, go ahead and make the change yourself (the '''be bold!''' doctrine); if it would require a lot of work to do or undo, or if there's significant disagreement, bring it up here and give it time for discussion; and if there's flat-out difference of opinion, [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]].)
:Just a cursory listening just now sounds leaves me unable to conclude ''nail'' or ''knell'', either way. Both would make sense contextually—"knell" because it's a real phrase, and "nail" because... well, there's a nail. In the rusty meat. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:21, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
::That's just it; I can't really be sure myself. I'd rather get second opinions since it might make sense either way. For now, I'll just post a Remark that it might be one or the other. By the way, do the DVDs have subtitles that we can check it against once the next one comes out? - [[User:Octan|Octan]] 12:26PM, January 20 2006 (EST)
:::I think "death knell" makes more sense, because nowhere else in the song are nails or meat mentioned. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 17:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Yes. But at the very moment that they sing the line in question, a nail punctures the steak. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
The phrase "death knell" hadn't occured to me while listening to it before reading this discussion. I listened to it again, carefully, just now - they were definitely pronouncing it "nay-ill" at least once of the two times they say the phrase. Since "knell" is pronounced "nell" (as in the name "Nellie"), I think that "nail" is more likely myself. I realize that the accent in the South is different than where I'm from (Pacific NW - we tend to have no accent here), but usually accents are much less pronounced in song, I've noticed.
:Hence lending credence to it being a pun on "knell". :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
::''Less'' pronounced? Ever heard of a guy called Dave Matthews? or some guys called Matchbox 20? Those, of course, aren't so much intensifications of regional accents so much as individual stylistic mutations of pronunciation. That's what I percieved as going on here; it could be "nail" or it could be "knell" in a "kneyeyell" sort of pronunciation. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

==Blond vs. Blonde==

Actually, this is a response for Jay: you reversed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=death_metal&diff=242001&oldid=241999 this comment] from ''blonde'' and ''blond'' being equally okay to ''blonde'' applying only women. I don't really have any prior knowledge on the matter, and no more definite authority than dictionary.com, but [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=death_metal&diff=242001&oldid=241999 it] seems to contradict you. Could you perhaps cite something more specific? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I think that "blonde" is just a different way to spell "blond"--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 11:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Nope, AbdiViklas is right. Blond refers to men, blonde to women. [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 11:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, that was Jay who expressed that; I was suggesting the opposite. But looking further, I've helped disprove myself: while [http://www.m-w.com Merriam-Webster] (I can no longer link directly to definitions there!) defines "blonde" as "''a person'' having blond hair" (and even is gender-neutral for platinum and strawberry blonde), my Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate on my handheld says "spelled ''blond'' when used of a boy or man and often ''blonde'' when used of a girl or woman". So while it seems that it would still be okay to refer to a woman as "blond," the point is Strong Bad's usage is okay, so no goof. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:06, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

The confusion is due to the fact that the words "blond" and "blonde" are derived from Old French. Thus, according to the rules of the language, "blond" was masculine and "blonde" was feminine. However, those distinctions have blurred in modern times, and the words may be used interchangeably for either gender now.
: Yeah, there are other words from French that have different spellings (but identical pronunciations) for the different genders that many people are unaware of; for instance, fiancé and fiancée. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::Whoa, supah soivice, 71.117.1.39! Anyone who works the words "Old French" into everyday conversation gets my respect. ([[Wikipedia:Vulgar Latin|Vulgar Latin]] gets my respect plus a cupcake.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

==Half-Hour Death Metal...==

MTV had a show called the Heavy Metal Half-Hour in 1987. It later became the Hard 30, then disappeared entirely. | [[User:65.78.2.81|65.78.2.81]] 15:52, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:Intriguing! Proving hard to verify, though. Searches for "hard 30" on Wikipedia and Google yield nothing. (Nothing ''pleasant'' anyway...)

== DE ==

Any actual death metal songs that include a lot of "de" words? All I can think of is Decency Defied, but that's just the title. --[[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]]
:Well, I did a search, and I came up with a few bands with de words, like "Death", "Devourment", Devlyn, and "Deicide", but I wasn't able to get to any lyrics (stupid parental blocks stop me from getting anywhere) {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
::"Blind Leading the Blind" by Carcass has the following lines:
:::''Blood and tear - out d*** spot out
:::The fruits of perpetual '''decay'''
:::Pouring the salts in open wounds - out d*** spot out
:::The scars remain, will stay perpetual '''decay'''
:::Bloody hands never wash clean
:::Abject misery to bleed
:::'''Decadence''' to feed
:::Out d*** spot out''
::Carcass was pretty popular as the genre goes, and they were known for bizarre lyrics. | [[User:65.78.2.81|65.78.2.81]] 05:03, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Amusingly, the line above that got censored, as well as the general gist of the passage, isn't so random, and didn't originate with Carcass. It's a quote from [http://www.shakespeare-literature.com/Macbeth/21.html Act 5 Scene 1] of ''Macbeth'' (arguably Shakespeare's most "death metal" play, narrowly edging out the tongue-severing gore of ''[http://www.shakespeare-literature.com/Titus_Andronicus/index.html Titus Andronicus]'' with the added preoccupations with witchcraft and fatalism). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Indeed, although I think the actual line from Macbeth is "d---ed" spot. I guess Carcass gets points for trying to be literate in between writing songs like "Genital Grinder" and "Exhume to Consume." (For the record, I don't listen to death metal at all. I got off the heavy metal train at the <s>Homestar</s> grunge station and never got back on.) | [[User:65.78.2.81|65.78.2.81]] 15:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

'''Decency Defied''' includes the following lines:

:'''Dissect''' to collect
...
:To you a '''design'''
:Now a trophy made mine
:To you a '''design'''
:Now a trophy made mine
...
:Violence '''defined'''

'''Blunt Force Castration''', includes the words '''destroys''', '''Deforming''',
'''Detatched''', '''Deprived''', and '''Desexualized'''

:I've taken the liberty of simply extracting the ''de-'' words from some of the lyrics above. I'm not a fan of censorship, but we do try to keep the wiki friendly for [[for kids|the littlest, tiniest babies]], and I felt like some of the thematic material, more so than language issues, was kinda moving out of that zone. Plus it's getting a little off-topic: I'm guessing you could find "de-" words in most songs from all genres; the joke in this email probably grew out of the fact that the first four words Strong Bad thought of started with ''de-''. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I was really looking for heavy -de content, rather than occasional mention. I guess Strong Bad was just guessing, and this is all that he could say, rather than the actual lyrics.

For a laugh though, here are some real lyrics. Content warning for all of the below.

[http://darklyrics.com/lyrics/cannibalcorpse/tombofthemutilated.html#2 I Cum Blood] -Cannibal Corpse

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

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

''{Cut to Homestar Runner}''

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

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

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

''{More spooky music}''

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

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

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

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

Talk:Bear Holding a Shark

Crystallina — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 21:12:35 GMT

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

Well, it appears to not be here. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:35, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Biscuitdoughhandsman

Crystallina — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 21:10:50 GMT

Crystallina:

[[Image:biscuitdoughhandsman.jpeg|thumb|"Is this the man?"]]
'''Biscuit Dough Hands Man''' is a drawing [[Bubs]] made when he acted as sketch artist for [[The King of Town]], who was trying to describe who had stolen his crown. The King of Town tries to describe [[Strong Bad]] with a head like a "big old, round old, red old, nasty old [[Eggs|egg]]," and "hands like biscuit dough." [[Coach Z]] is henceforth determined to catch him, not realizing that the King was describing Strong Bad.

He's the next target of Strong Bad's hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism on the [[Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum]], as mentioned in the email "[[pizzaz]]."

There is also a newspaper called The Biscuitdoughhandsman Review that wrote a review for Strong Bad's [[rock opera]] "SBEMAIL!", claiming that it was "better than a [[Goats|goat]]".

In [[myths & legends]] [[Coach Z]], speaking semi-anonymously, claims to have seen his severed hand in the locker room.

His facial features and #7 jersey seem to imply a likeness of former [[Wikipedia:National Football League|NFL]] player [[Wikipedia:John Elway|John Elway]].

''{Strong Bad types "strongbad_email.exe" and presses enter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I met this email on a north-bound train. We had some dinner, then we danced in the rain.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: narration</div>
Have you ever been the narrator for a movie? 
 
Grant Gossman from Minnesota. 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Minnesota" slightly slower than the rest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No Grossman, I have not. But you know what's way better than narrating movies? Narrating peoples' pathetic everyday lives like they're movie trailers. Ready? Let's try it!

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is sitting at his table eating a small pie. Strong Bad leans in through the doorway.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dramatically}'' Meet Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? Who are you talking to?

'''STRONG BAD:''' All he ever wanted was to eat his grody ethnic food in peace.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey man, this a rogan josh pot pie!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until one day, fate threw him a curveball.

''{A small blue octopus flies across the screen, hits Strong Sad in the face with a slap and sticks to him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' OW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lump of Dump Pictures proudly presents: ''{Cut to logo splash. Words appear as Strong Bad says them.}'' "Whined & Dined". In the game of life, may the best man ''{slight pause}'' whine.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Coach Z is talking to Bubs. Strong Bad quickly peers out around the corner of the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In a post-apocalyptic world where weird old men survive on boring conversations...

'''BUBS:''' I suppose we could talk about my napkin friend for another couple hours. ''{Holds up a napkin}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...a line will be drawn.

'''COACH Z:''' YOUR napkin?! Well, it's got my snot balls on it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A hero will rise.

'''BUBS:''' Man, you don't even have a nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And an empire will fall.

''{Bubs slams the metal gate to his concession stand shut, revealing "4actor Z" graffiti}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Factor Z!

''{Cut to Marzipan's House. Marzipan and Homestar are inside; Homestar is wearing an apron and a strange chef's hat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They were a couple in love.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you look like a dork with that on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until a dorky chef's hat threatened to tear them apart.

''{close-up of Homestar's head; Homestar shakes his hat around}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah? Well maybe you look like
some type of... enormous... alien... cow!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasp}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as music begins to play}'' This summer, ''{Cut to the field, where Homsar is levitating on his stomach while his hat rises}'' this holiday season, ''{Cut to the side of The King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is shoveling whatsit in the background. Slow zoom in on him}'' this Arbor Day, some smelly French studio invites YOU ''{points at camera}'' to sit through a four hour film with no dialogue and no plot. "Whatsit ''{slight pause}'' All About" ''{Title appears on the screen with the subtitle "Whatzeet All Aboot?"}''

''{Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing Battleship. Piano music begins}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two unlikely partners...

'''STRONG MAD:''' I ATE MY BATTLESHIP!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...one brain between them.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{shrugs and sighs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the creators of " I'm Surprised Strong Mad Hasn't Eaten The Cheat by Now"

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{upset}'' Awww!

'''STRONG BAD:''' get ready to ''{words fly on screen as he says them}'' LUG... IT... AROUND. ''{title appears at top of screen}'' "Lugnut ''{gestures toward Strong Mad}'' & Squeak" ''{pats The Cheat on the head. Strong Mad grins.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''

''{Cut to bathroom. We are just behind Strong Sad as he brushes his teeth. We can see his reflection in the mirror. Strong Bad pops up just over his shoulder.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' For hundreds of years it has ''{flickers lights on and off}'' it has haunted mankind.

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Sad is watching TV. Strong Bad is standing off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the master of teenagers-on-a-camping-trip-esque horror. ''{flickers lights again and leaves them off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Are you gonna throw a dead goose at me or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Comes the remake no one was waiting for: ''{another title splash}'' "Things That Go Dump in The Night".

''{Cut to the laundry room. Strong Sad opens the dryer. Cut to a view of Strong Sad from inside it. A dead goose flies out and knocks him over, screaming. The screen immediately goes black except for the words "Your goose is cooked."}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The critics agree! "A triumph!" "A cinematic breakfast snack of some kind!" "It ''{very slight pause}'' sure was a movie!" ''{quickly}'' Now playing in select cities. ''{disclaimer speed}'' This Strong Bad Email has been rated P for The Poopsmith and a graphic scene of The Paper.

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "critics" at the end of the email to see a scene with the two youngest of the Brothers Strong.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''(still with the blue octopus on his face)'' Look, all I'm saying is it felt more like a change-up than a curveball.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you, the SBEmail police now? This is like three weeks in a row!
*Also click on "rated P" at the end to see a scene with a [[Powered by the Cheat]]-style Marzipan Alien Cow and [[Nebulon]].
:'''MARZIPAN ALIEN:''' ''(in a Powered by the Cheat-style voice)'' You know, Nebulon, I've always admired your styles. 
:''{Nebulon makes a sad face and slides away.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Rogan Josh|Rogan Josh pot pie]] is a tomato/red pepper based lamb curry dish, created in Northern India.

===Remarks===
*"4actor Z" is another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]].

===Goofs===
*During the Lugnut and Squeak scene, the battleship images on the playing boards are slightly disproportionate when the camera zooms in on Strong Bad.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad says "three weeks in a row", he is referring to the previous 2 emails: [[technology]], in which Strong Sad corrected Strong Bad for calling a floppy disk a "hard disk", and [[secret identity]], when [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]] corrected Homestar's mispronounciation of "pseudonym". All of these three corrections occured during [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]].
*This is the second time Bubs has been seen closing his Concession Stand, (the first time being in [[lackey]]), and both times it had been previously graffitied.
* Unlike Strong Bad ([[New Boots]]) and [[1-Up]] ([[Stinkoman 20X6]]), Marzipan Alien Cow likes Nebulon's style.
*The movie title "THiNGS THAT GO DUMP iN THE NiGHT" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].

===Real-World References===
* The entire Email is a spoof of movie trailer stereotypes.
* The Game Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing is [[Wikipedia:Battleship (game)|Battleship]].
* The title "Things that go Dump in the Night" is a reference to the more known "Things that go '''Bump''' in the Night".
*Lugnut & Squeak is similar to [[Wikipedia:The Odd Couple|The Odd Couple]], about two mismatched roommates, which is similar to what Strong Bad said about Strong Mad and The Cheat being "two unlikely partners".
*The subtitle "Whatzeet all aboot" is the movie title spoken in a French or Canadian accent.
*"Teenagers on a camping trip" likely refers to the movie [[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (film series)|Friday the 13th]] and its sequels, which primarily featured such characters.

Fourth Wall Breaks

Crystallina — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 02:53:37 GMT

Crystallina: /* Strong Bad Emails */

[[Image:fourthwalling.png|thumb|Good morning, reality!]]

Sometimes, the [[Characters|characters]] "'''break the [[Wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]]'''" by displaying awareness that they are in an Internet cartoon.

Fourth wall breakages are common in [[Strong Bad Email]]s; Strong Bad often addresses the viewers, and references to his "email show" are made. Excluding Strong Bad Emails that involve a character addressing the viewers, here is a list of fourth wall breakages in the toons.

Addressing the viewer, however, isn't nessicarily breaking the fourth wall. Strong Bad may believe that he has a [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] that follows him around during the email show. Just because the characters realize they are being shown on a website doesn't mean they are breaking the fourth wall. A fictional character speaking into a fictional camera to a future audience hasn't nessicarily broken the fourth wall. If they were to refer to being in a cartoon or to refer to being cartoon characters, '''''that''''' would be breaking the fourth wall.

== Fourth Wall Breakages ==

=== Big Toons ===

*[[Where's The Cheat?]]: While reassuring Strong Mad, Strong Bad says "Don't worry, big guy. We'll cut to a montage."
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]] and [[The King of Town DVD]]: Characters doing commentaries and being in previews for the toons that are DVDs show that they know it was a cartoon. Strong Bad even calls one of the toons a cartoon several times.
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]: The TV announcer says that [[The Yello Dello|the Yello Dello]] is "the most rare and exotic bird in this entire cartoon."

=== Shorts ===

*[[Cheat Commandos]]: There are many breakages, such as [[Gunhaver]] saying "Buy all our playsets and toys," "Next episode, Blue Laser," and "Into the action figure storage vehicle!"
*[[The System is Down]]: Here are references to both the [[Error Page]] and [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]] being down.

=== Holiday Toons ===

*[[More Fan Costumes]]: Strong Bad comments that [[Coach Z]], [[King of Town]] and [[Marzipan]] are the least popular ''Homestar Runner'' characters.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]: Throughout the cold open, Homestar directly addresses the viewer. When he comes upon [[Homsar]], he remarks "Oh, great. The secret guy" and then comments on the choices that Homsar "gives" him. Then when he reaches the [[Cliffs#Creepy Cliff|Creepy Cliff]], he refers to it as a "cool new background." Finally, in the [[The Goblin|Goblin]] ending, Marzipan declares the end of the scene.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from [[Decemberween]] to New Year's, then, in the Easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."
*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]: When [[Bubs]] shows frustration that Coach Z mangles his words yet again, Coach Z replies that "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]: During the end discussion, Homestar comments first whether the viewers have voted yet (a feature for that year's toon), and then requests that the characters repeat stuff they have already said to freak "them" out, indicating that the characters know they are being watched.

=== Strong Bad Emails ===

*[[narrator]]: Strong Bad refers to Strong Sad as the "sbemail" police, having done so three weeks in a row.
*[[highschool]]: Strong Bad acknowledges the fact that he is a cartoon character when referring to his high school days.
*[[bottom 10]]: After the end of the email, Strong Bad acknowledges that there are no Easter eggs at the end.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to [[Bubs' Concession Stand|Bubs']].
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says that a man with a laptop computer comes "from the right side of the screen."
*[[virus]]: [[The Virus]] opens most of the characters' minds to realize that they are in a cartoon.
*[[old comics]]: Strong Bad says he and Homestar were used in a comic that aired at least 60 years ago. Since they are obviously not that old, he is pointing out the fact that he and Homestar are unaging cartoon characters.
*[[flashback]]: The size of the display area is purposefully extended and Homestar Runner is "behind the black."
*[[monument]]: Homestar peeks out from behind the black and sings "Here comes the Thnikkaman!!!".
*[[couch patch]]: Strong Bad points out that the couch patch is visible in Homestar's flashback, and Homestar displays that he knows that the emails have titles.
*[[the process]]: Strong Bad tells us that "you can usually click on certain words and make little pictures of dumb stuff pop up." Also, the whole email was explaining how other emails were/would be done.
*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the email on his own computer.
*[[island]]: When Yami Yugi asks what Strong Bad would do if he were stuck on a desert island, Strong Bad nonchalantly replies, "I suspect it would be like most cartoons," indicating that he himself is in a cartoon. Later, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] imitates [[Main Page 3]], with similar effects.

=== Not Quite Strong Bad Emails ===
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.

=== Special Toons ===

*[[First Time Here?]]: Sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.
=== Marzipan's Answering Machine ===

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]]: Homestar says "This is Homestar Runner from Homestarrunner.com".

=== Games ===

*[[Stinkoman 20X6]]: When [[1-Up]] requests Stinkoman's help, Stinkoman says that he already helped him in Level 4. At the beginning of Level -0, Stinkoman addresses the player while he's stuck inside the wall. Also, at the end of Level -0, Stinkoman says he has to get through Level 9 and Level 10 to get to 1-Up and [[Pan Pan]].
*[[Peasant's Quest]]: If you talk to the second "[[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]" brother and say "Haldo" without talking to the first one (the one at the booth), he will say, "What'd you read that in PQ Stragedy [''sic''] Guide? Go talk to my brother first." Also, if you type "throw baby" before you actually ''get'' the baby, the game will say that you must have "misread the walkthrough on [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQS]]."

=== Character Pages ===

*[[Strong Sad]]: On Strong Sad's character page, he runs his finger down the left side of the screen. Beforehand, he complains about making a "character page", which means he is aware he is a character in something online.

The Poopsmith

Crystallina — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 22:52:10 GMT

Crystallina: sp: biscut ==> biscuit

[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A crappy job (literally)]]
== Biography ==

[[Image:Babyds.PNG|thumb|The Diapersmith says: "Phrppp!"]]

'''The Poopsmith''' (whose name is "The Poopsmith" with the [[Definite Article|definite article]]) is just a regular guy with a ''very crappy'' job. Literally. It is unclear what his job really is, but it has something to do with using his shovel (apparently the only shovel in [[Free Country, USA]]) to poke around at a load of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Also, due to the nature of this job, [[Strong Bad]] has said that the Poopsmith's tolerance for pain "has gotta be through the roof". Although he never seems to transfer poop between his gloves and the shovel, his gloves are always soiled. This inherent filth tends to keep him out of most social circles, though he seems to be well respected by the other characters. He has been in the employ of [[The King of Town]] for a while, and he does not talk, nor make a noise, as he has taken a vow of silence. Sometimes, however he will hold up a sign in lieu of speaking. It seems, that his job also includes making biscuit dough, as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture; in his [[Old-Timey]] incarnation as The Demon, the pitchfork motion is very similar. He plays the cymbals for the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band, seen in [[Fall Float Parade]].

*'''Domicile:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]
*'''Debut:''' First Seen: [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] First Mentioned: [[The King of Town DVD]]

''{Cut to the Poopsmith shoveling through his pile of whatsit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen, narrating in animal show host type voice}'' Here we have a rare glimpse of the Poopsmith in his natural habitat. ''{drops narrative tone}'' Pretty nasty, if you ask me. Oh, ''{narrating}'' The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence. ''{drops narrative tone}'' I'm about to take a vow of throwin' up my cookies all over this microphone. ''{taps microphone twice}'' How much is this thing worth, anyways? 'Cause it's about to be worth a lot less. No for real. The Poopsmith is a good guy. He just got a crappy job.

== Speech ==
The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and therefore doesn't speak, with only a few exceptions:
* In the storyboards for [[The King of Town DVD]], the Poopsmith says "Nope", but this didn't make it into the toon.
* In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] he hissed at [[Strong Bad]] (who was disguised as [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]) and [[The Cheat]].
* In [[different town]], one of the things Strong Bad wanted to change was the Poopsmith's refusal to speak. The Poopsmith said "Hello!" in this fantasy.
* In [[highschool]] Strong Bad imagines The Poopsmith (then The Diapersmith) blowing a raspberry at baby [[Strong Sad]].

''{The picture changes to someone in a Strong Bad mask and boxing gloves punching a man with a papier-mâché Homestar head and a Homestar shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Here I am beating up some kind of...mashed potato man. Uh, they got my head pretty good in this one, 'cept I'm not sure what that junk in the front is. I clearly don't have any junk in the front.

''{The picture changes to a man in a purple cap, a green jumper and trousers, wearing a large medallion like Coach Z's.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' This guy's Coach Z costume's all right, but what he really nailed was the condition of Coach Z's apartment. That place looks like a sty hole. Ooh, pretzels!

''{The picture changes to an illuminated pumpkin with The Cheat carved into it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So let me get this straight: you guys paid a squirrel to come and gnaw The Cheat into your pumpkin? That's a waste of money. A colossal waste of money. Those squirrels' rates are... pretendous.

''{The picture changes to a model of Trogdor above a banner reading "BURNiNATiNG", flanked on either side by people with jack-o'-lanterns.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Well, something's gone horribly wrong here, 'cause, uh... these guys either let Trogdor's beefy arm atrophy, or... turned it into a...buffalo wing.

''{The picture changes to a pumpkin painted to resemble Strong Sad's head sitting on a windowsill.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Ah, nothing brightens up a window quite like Strong Sad's severed head.

''{The picture changes to a model of Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Oh man, if I saw that thing runnin' around my back yard, I'd get out the compound bow. And then I'd tell it to take those Kleenex boxes off its feet.

''{The picture changes to an assortment of illuminated pumpkins with Homestar Runner images carved into them: the H*R logo, The Cheat, Strong Bad, Homestar, Strong Sad, Strong Mad, and Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Whoa, those things rule! These are, like, the talismans of power! You know, like, when they're all together they're a source of unspeakable evil, but then they all get separated and you have to collect them, so, like... the first board would be the jungle board, and maybe the second board is Ice World, ''{his voice begins to fade away}'' and then there's probably a desert world in there and a fire world...

''{The picture changes to a man wearing a Strong Bad mask and boxing gloves making out with a girl. To the left is a sign saying "HIGH FIVES" and to the right, one saying "MAKE OUTS".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Whoa! That guy's totally getting to first base in front of, like, the dining hall, and it's all because he's dressed like me! Unless that girl's trying to suck out my eyeballs...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover, spookily}'' See... see!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Shut up!

''{The picture changes to two people dressed as Marzipan and Homestar, standing in a field in front of some trees.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Pwahaha! Oh, geez... you know, I've always preferred the snub-nosed Marzipan to the long-necked variety. ''{sings}'' Ohhh, people with too much time on their hands, oh, there's people with way too much time on their hands...

''{The picture changes to three people in a living-room dressed as Homestar, Strong Bad and Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Barrel-chested Homestar comes with everything you see here! Paper-boxing-gloves Strong Bad not included. Dumpy Robert Smith action figure sold separately. Cozy Americana country décor available at fine stores everywhere.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The email shown on the screen in the first photo appears to be from [[sibbie]].

===Remarks===
*The "Kleenex Boxes" on the Homestar model's feet are really wet wipe boxes, identifiable by the blue plastic lids.

===Inside References===
*The picture of the guy "reaching first base" with "Make-Outs" and "High Fives" signs is a reference to the Strong Bad [[Character Videos|character video]], in which Strong Bad orders "dudes" to line up on the left for high fives and "ladies" on the right for [[Making Out|makeouts]].
*Homestar's "See... see!" is a reference to [[Malloween Commercial]], in which he claims that this is the noise that eyeballs make.

===Real-World References===
*"Dumpy Robert Smith Action Figure" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Robert Smith (musician)|Robert Smith]], lead singer and front man of rock band [[Wikipedia:The Cure|The Cure]] (which [[Strong Sad]] is a fan of), known for his quite liberal use of makeup.
*"The Talismans of Power" scattered through "different lands" is a standby of countless RPGs, platform video games, and cartoons. It is also very similar to the show "Dragon Ball Z" on Cartoon Network where the characters' goal is to collect all the (7) Dragonballs to have a wish granted. The arrangement of them is very similar to a scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" where "magic stones" were arranged in a similar fashon and glowed when several of them were brought near each other.
*The "different lands" are very reminiscent of several Mario games such as Paper Mario and Super Mario 64 as well as the Sonic games where all the worlds mentioned by Strong Bad are included. Another example is the Megaman game series, parodied by the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] games. The original Megaman series placed Megaman in a different themed enviornment in each level.
* A compound bow is a bow used to hunt turkeys or elk.

===Fast Forward===
*A similar feature was created for Halloween 2005 and referenced this one in its name: [[More Fan Costumes]].

The Moon

Crystallina — Sat, 10 Dec 2005 17:49:18 GMT

Crystallina: spelling - entirerly ==> entirely

[[Image:The_Moon.PNG|thumb|right|220px|To the moon and beyond]]

'''The Moon''' is a popular destination of the people of [[Free Country, USA]], although it's located in [[Outer Space]]. This is where [[Strong Bad]] likes to play tennis with the [[Coach Z]], though, because this was mentioned by Strong Bad, it may not be entirely true.

Although the actual moon is not seen, Strong Bad states that he will try to fly [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] there after getting drunk from drinking several bottles of soy sauce in the email "[[personal favorites]]". He also announces his intention to retire on the moon after stealing [[The King of Town]]'s crown in the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. Also, in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a computer Strong Bad thinks can help them is on the moon. It's a moon computer.

The flavor of [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights]] will also send you to the moon, as seen in the toon, "[[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]]". In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], it can be clicked on to access an easter egg. The [[20x6|20X6]] character [[1-Up]] walked to the moon once, where he met [[Nebulon]], who seems to live there. Also, [[SBASAF]]'s main mission is to travel supposedly to the moon in order to cause money to age to millions of dollars.
