{{talktobedeleted}}
Doe not delete this! --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Why not? what purpose could this possibly serve? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 03:31, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Umm...it's a drink! --04:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)04:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

We could merge this info into [[Cold One]] [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 15:46, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:But this isn't a type of Cold One- it's just another type of beer. If we merge it with anything it should be [[Coach Z]], methinks. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I second that. [[Coach Z]] does seem to be the most logical place for it.--Shippinator Mandy

:::Shouldn't it really be merged into [[time capsule]]? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::I personally don't think this needs to exist at all. All info found on this page can be found in the email, except for the image, which is useless. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::I'm with Tony on this one, although if enough people think it's worth merging into something, Time Capsule makes sense to me. -- [[User:Eric|Eric]] 03:03, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::Nah, merge it with coach Z. In fact, dont even merge it, just put a tiny footnote about it in coach Z ''and'' time capsule--[[User:Mikelx215|Mikelx215]] 00:41, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::::I Don't think this needs deleting.--Clash

:On second thought, merging with [[time capsule]] sounds good. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:43, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree w/Mikelx215
-[[User: Tapd260]]

the question is, in fact, why SHOULD it be deleted?

==Merge==
I still say Merge any info onto the [[Cold One]] article, as that is where we keep all the info about different kinds of beer. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 21:48, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I was the person who actually created this page. Several other pages exist for products that are easter eggs, and only referenced once. If people are deadset on having this deleted or moved, then I would suggest merging into the cold one article, but I'm not sure why this one has been singled out for merging or deletion. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 17:37, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: I don't get it either, Duke33. I think that, maybe, merging w/ Cold One might be good, but I seriously don't think it should. [[User:Undabite]]

There are other "easter egg product" pages, but since we have a suitable place to put Beer/Cold one info we should keep it all together. If we had tons of short "pizza" articles we could merge an article like [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] together onto the broader topic, until any singular item became significant enough to stand on its own. Coach Z ale has not gone anywhere since its inception. Should it garner a few more appearances we will have enough information to justify a stand-alone article. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 16:18, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:"This product was the first of only three foodstuff items in the Homestar Runner Universe to feature a main character's name on the packaging (the other products being Cheatcakes and Coach Z Ale)." That's off of the Strong Bad's Eggs food and drink page. It has importance! If it isn't good enough for a stand-alone, it should be merged, but i think it has enough weight to stay. :[[User:Best5bucksever|Best5bucksever]] 00:12, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== DO NOT DELETE! ==

There's no need to delete it! If you call this useless, you're calling every other page on this site useless!

:Wow. Your logic is truly impressive. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:33, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Naw, just keep it. I don't really see a need for deletion. --[[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] 10:17, July 22, 2005

== More is Better ==

Doesn't really seem logical to modify or remove a page that seems to work fine as a standalone. If it's going to be changed at all, then I agree with an appropriate merge, but not a full deletion. That's pointless. (Edit: Adding who I am.) [[User:Gingercat|Gingercat]] 01:58, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Gingercat: Wiki Fix: URL Capitals

==Mustard Man==
Real-World References says:
--"In the Homsar "Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award" easter egg, "Mustard Man" is a reference to a photo of a guy covered in mustard that circulated around the Internet in 2002."--

Does anyone else feel that that is a stretch.

Yeah, it sounds more like a bit of Homsar randomness my dear Annonys. Sign your comments. --[[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 16:20, 25 Jul 2005 (CST)

==Blue Book==
I think "Blue book" is actually referring to Kelly Blue Book which is a resource book for people who want to buy/sell their used cars. When discussing the price of a used car people will often check the "blue book" for the cars value.
: That makes sense to me, but I didn't know. Feel free to add it as a Real-World Reference. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:45, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's Shoes==
Has anyone else notcied that Strong Bad's shoes could be his feet, like how his mask and boxing gloves are his face and hands? This is evidenced in the "Stinkiest Diapey" award (he wears the shoes even as a baby) and the huge tube socks ad from modeling. (He's wearing the shoes under his socks) [[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]
: Wouldn't surprise me one bit. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:10, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::Iiiiiit's possible. --[[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 12:12, 25 Jul 2005 (CST)
:::From Stand-Up we at least know his shorts are not his... never mind

== Cutest Couple ==

This is fairly obvious, but does anyone think it's worth mentioning that Bubs' "Cutest Couple" is a reference to the widely-held practice of Senior Favorites, when high school seniors vote on their classmates for the yearbook?
* Also called "Superlatives", which, BTW, is the name of the chapter that Bubs' picture appears in. Yeah, it is obvious IMHO. Of course, most "cutest couples" in yearbooks are TWO people... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:58, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== No Photo available ==

Somehow, the "No Photo Available" for Marzipan's record makes me think back to "Happy Fireworks!", in which Bubs says Marzipan is still gone for the summer. How about y'all? --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 23:51, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:That's what I thought of too. I'm not quite sure if the connection is enough for a fun fact though. --[[user:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]][[User talk:mibluvr13|dígame]] 23:58, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: I was thinking more that someone (either Strong Bad or Marzipan) exaggerated the claim. But either explanation could work. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:55, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::I've been wondering about something related to this. Is anything going on with Missy in real life that would keep Marzipan off the site? (And before you say it, I know that they don't need her voice to use Marzipan's picture. But her prolonged absence is unusual.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:03, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: If I'm not mistaken, the last time Marzipan's voice was heard was in a Store Easter Egg, which was (AFAIK) created on May 23. Yeah, it ''has'' been a while... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:16, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::I think that it has been a couple of months since we have seen miss pan. Now that it has been so long, we can safely safely assume that Miss Palmer has gone AWOL. All that I know is that I am glad that Matt isn't doing the voices. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

:::::I don't think she went absent without leave, exactly. We can only guess what's going on in her life. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:32, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::Uh, I was kinda making a stab of not good humor. let me rephrase, I think that something has come up, and Missy doesen't have time to do Marzipan voices. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

:::::::Yeah, but I know we can't make it a remark of any sort. It's just speculation on all parts. --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 02:03, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC) PS- Maybe Mike and Missy got a divorce? Or maybe Missy's been in the hospital or something?

:::::::::I believe that it is more likely a family affair, and if there was a devorce, Marzy would be killed off. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

::::::::::[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0658371/ According to IMDb], she's the co-producing some movie called The Unseen. That would certainly keep her busy for awhile. --[[user:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]][[User talk:mibluvr13|dígame]] 03:02, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Regardless of whatever is going on with Missy in real life, they don't need her to draw a picture of Marzipan. I think this was just a joke - leaving it open what exactly Marzipan was doing to get that award.--[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 14:31, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::: She doesn't do the voices, and everyone starts thinking that she's leaving forever and has divorced Mike.... I'm not sure what to make of this...

:::::Annony, she seems to be cowriting a motion picture, she can't do a voice of Marzipan. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

::::::Eytanz: We already said we know they don't need her voice for her picture. Rogue Leader: Matt used to do the voices from New York while Mike was in Atlanta (or something like that, I'm not going to look it up), so it's not like it's impossible for her to do a couple of lines here and there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::::True, True... — {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

== Strong Sad's the Cheat fountain pen ==

Did anyone notice that the tip of Strong Sad's Pen was yellow with black spots, Just like the cheat!

Dear Annony- Have you ever watched "STRONG BAD IS IN JAIL"? It's the same pen there, and it wasn't noted then. --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 02:56, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Ummm...I'm not touching this one...it's too easy... --[[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 00:25, 26 Jul 2005 (CST)

It just has a yellow tip with black ink smeared on it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:22, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Shirts or shorts==

I've watched this email several times now, and I consistently hear the "punchline" of his first joke as "they don't wear shorts", rather than "they don't wear shirts".

I know this is the kind of thing that cannot really be determined due to Homestar's accent, and I realize that "shirts" makes more sense in the context than "shorts". I really don't expect anyone to change the transcript. I just thought it worth noting.--[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 14:35, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I hear "shorts", but yeah "shirts" makes more sense. --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 18:06, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I hear "shirts". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I hear "shirts" too. And think about the redneck stereotype for a minute. They wear pants (thankfully). They often don't wear shirts. Come on; Homestar isn't THAT dumb. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:20, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:That makes sense, but it still sounds like "Shorts" to me. Probobly is Homestar's accent, though. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]

:It ''sounds'' like shorts to me; I won't deny that. But I know he isn't ''saying'' that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:31, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Actually it sounds like "sho-its," which may could go either way. "Shirts" is the logical interpretation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:07, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Shirts sounds more like your stereotypical redneck, which is basically what redneck jokes are about. So, yeah I’d say its shirts too. [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]

== I'm just me ==

Is the I'm just me song a real song? seems vaguely familiar - killyoukillyou

Yeah I know. It sounds like a kiddie song they sing on PBS kids -Kinsey

== The single grain of rice thing ==

Once I read in a record book that someone wrote the lord's prayer on a grain of rice. Strong Sad doing a similar thing HAS to be a referance. I don't know who it was or anything more about it, though...--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 08:53, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:If you go to a street fair in many big cities (in the US or Europe), you'll find someone who writes stuff on grains of rice. Normally they aren't very good at it, but I once saw a man who could write decently long sentences. So yeah, this is a reference, but to a particular craft (taken to a ridiculous extreme), not to any particular event. --[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 15:30, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Random ==

Doesn't "Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube" count as making up random crap that no one else would do and calling it a record? why does Count Longardeaux stand for it?-Ashley

:The record is for: "Most Macaronis Nailed to a Paper Towel Tube by Strong Mad," which furthers the chances that no one else would do it. I bet Count Longardeax wouldn't stand for it. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:47, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I think that random crap is more like me destroying a TV, while handstanding, while singing the itsy bitsy spider song with a flappy disk taped to my head.

:I think that it is just Strong Bads usual practice of humouring Strong Mad, with a "Good Work" like in E-mail "Dragon". - Lord Z.

::I agree. Strong Bad is probably humouring him... 'cause you don't wanna get that guy angry. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 02:17, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Count Longardeaux ==

Could "Count Longardeaux" possibly be a reference to big-band leader Guy Lombardo? --Sam, 27 July 2005

:Sorry, maybe I am just being slow, but I dont see the connection. - Lord-Z

==Name that tune==
What's the name of the tune Strongbad sings in the openning song? -- [[User:M4CFR34K|M4CFR34K]] 08:22, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Standard Nathan ==

''You can still click on the words ''Standard Nathan'' around two seconds after it goes''

Should I add this too Goofs? And please someone else don't add this for me, I want to be credited if it is accepted.

:(1) It doesn't work for me. (2) You won't be credited even if you do add it - anything you add to the article belongs to the wiki. You can claim credit on your [[User:Sultn|user page]], but you could do that anyway even if someone else actually added it to the page. {{User:phlip/sig}} 07:53, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Drape it over your aaaaaaarms, step out in styyyyyle, Strong Bad Emaaaaaaail... ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: records</div>
dear strong bad, 
i was wondering if you were in the record book. if so, 
what for? 
nathan, tx</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "tx" as "Tee-Ex" (that is, as the individual letters).}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oooh, the Nathan TX! That has, like, way four more cylinders than the standard Nathan. Better Blue Book value, too. I can't remember if I'm in the record book or not. Seems like I should be. Let's take a look. A book-look!

''{Cut to a table. Strong Bad places "THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS The Book!" on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see what we got in here.

''{He opens the book to page 42. The page shows a picture of a really dirty Coach Z with an afro and moustache, and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Longest Showerless Streak 65 Days, 3 Hours, 42 Minutes: COACH Z."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sixty-five days?! That's ''way'' outdated! I'm pretty sure he's surpassed that one by several fortnights at this point.

''{Turns to page 116. This page shows young Strong Bad in a diaper and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Dirtiest Diapey, Very, Very Dirty: LIL' STRONG BAD."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape— Whoa! ''{throws coffee, eggs and bacon on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee, eggs, bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.

''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, holding a magnifying glass and humming softly, writing on grains of rice. His face is magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of basmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record!

''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!

''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker labeled with the number "7" sitting near the pile.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Vwoooooooooooooooooosh!

''{The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!

''{The King seems to hiccup three times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?

''{The King "hiccups" again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!

''{Another buzzer, another page that reads "Chapter 3 - Disgusting Eating/Old Person Records, Least Healthiest (Man?): The King of Town." The King "hiccups" again.}''

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field on his soapbox, which now reads "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you call a redneck, with no teeth, that watches stock car racing all day? Ba-ha-ha-haaa! Man, they do not wear shirts!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting chewed gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with chewed gum on his face. Music starts.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for it!

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm just me! Can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

''{Homestar pops up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does a redneck man call a dead possum, lyin' in the middle of the road? Ba-ha-ha-haa! Probably sushi!

''{An unseen audience groans.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I think we're just about done here. Strong Mad set the record ''{A page of the book that reads "Chapter 2 - Special Records, Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube... By Strong Mad (Just One!): Strong Mad." The picture shows Strong Mad holding his tube. It has many holes in it and at the top is one macaroni nailed into it }'' for Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube...By Strong Mad. ''{Another page, "Chapter 11 - Records of Smell/Track and Field, Pole Vault, 20 ft. 1.5 in.: Marzipan" appears. This one has no picture, and instead there is a black box that reads "Suprisingly, No Photo Available."}'' Marzipan set the World Record for the pole vault. And Bubs won Cutest Couple. ''{Yet another page, this one reading "Chapter 9 - Superlatives, Cutest Couple: Bubs" with a picture of Bubs (and no one else) trying to look cute.}'' Oh, wait, I forgot about me. I ''gots'' to get in this record book somehow. I'll get the record for...

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing nearby.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Cheatspeak, sounds like "Most rectangular mouth?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! "Most rectangular mouth?!" My mouth can be round!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Cheatspeak, sounds like "Can NOT!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a bunch of bull ''{making his mouth as round as possible}'' hooOOoooOOoOOOOOoOOOOOOOeeOOOoOOOO—

''{A buzzer is heard, followed by a page appears that reads "Chapter 7 - Saying Words For A Long Time Records, Longest 'Bull Honkey', 13.4 Seconds: The Human Strong Bad." The picture shows Strong Bad in the same position he was just seen in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —nkey. Bull honkey.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Instead of the normal Back button, Count Longardeaux's image has a speech bubble reading "Back" in its place.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Nathan TX Easter Egg.PNG|thumb|The Nathan TX]]
*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on notebook paper.
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX," which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labelled "built-in smoke" (pointing to smoke from the tires), "3 front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt. (The link continues to work after the King has sucked up the shaker)
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second [[Wikipedia:redneck|redneck]] joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardnesses, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes.

*The King of Town had a [[Wikipedia:heart attack|heart attack]] after eating the pile of [[Wikipedia:Edible salt#Health effects|salt]] because it contains [[Wikipedia:sodium|sodium]], a chemical element linked to [[Wikipedia:Hypertension|high blood pressure]]. Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attacks.

===Remarks===
*As of July 25, 2005, the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=W/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html women's world record] for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. Marzipan's world record is just one-quarter inch short of the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=M/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html men's world record] of 20 ft, 1.75 in.
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Bull Honkey" for 10.8 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo– part lasts for 8.1 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to The Paper coming down is 13.4 seconds. The number is more likely to refer to the fact that this is email #134.


===Goofs===
*[[Count Longardeaux's Book]] apparently has two chapter sevens — one for "Records of Loneliness" and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."
*Even after the King of Town inhales the saltshaker, the place on the table where it sat can still be clicked for the Easter egg.
*Strong Sad's pen does not magnify under the magnifying glass.
