Gnome of Fury: unsigned template

Man, I was hoping for something really good. This April Fool's wasn't all that funny, and it simply made an ugly mess of the Main Pages. I just hope that this just means that email 150 is that much better! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed... It actually gives me a headache. It's very disorienting. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I hope they do more and fix out the kinks when it's April Fool's for different time zones. [[User:PurpleKoopa|PurpleKoopa]] 06:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:: It appears that all the pages are upside down...which is annoying, but effective given that it took a minute to realize it just turned April 1.--[[User:Motorbikematt|Motorbikematt]] 06:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Yeah, it kind of gives me a headache. Still, it's kind of cool. Btw, nice sig Jay. I mean Tom. I mean DOUBLE DEUCE!!!! '''<tt>[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|ŢɦųηɗəřÞìɤɖ]][[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>''' 08:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I have no idea what you're talking about. My sig just got a small color change due to the fact that my birthday is in less than a year from yesterday. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It's funny, but at the expense of every other joke on the site. [[User:86.136.82.105|86.136.82.105]] 14:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== How did they do it? ==

Does any one know how they did it? I doubt they manually fliped every movie (and 150 sbemails).

:[[Sbemail 150?!?|149.5]] actually. They did it by changing all the embedded swf files to "theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=name of original swf file.swf", which flips them over. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Changed throughout the early morning ==

I was there at random times up until about 2 am (darn college lifestyle) At some point the main page and the toons menu page were both unrotated. They also had the Weeklies items (QFSR) moved at about the same time.

Anyone else get a chance to see this?
:I did. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Now I'm mad! ==

Now everything's upside down! TBC have just ruind April Fools' Day! This isn't funny!
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

So who agrees with me?
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:Not me! --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
::Not me, either! I like it! {{User:H*R 700/sig}} 16:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, there could have been a cartoon, but no, the site just HAD to be messed up. On purpose!
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

:::It's not like it'll be forever. Even if it was, you could always buy the [[Store CD/DVDs|DVDs]]. :) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Nah, I'de rather steal them. :)
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

They COULD have made a cartoon, but that would mean you would have had to wait longer for sbemail 150. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

That would be definetly worh it, unless it's my email.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

Hm. Well, it wasn't as funny as [[Under Construction]] and [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] were, but not bad... kinda cliche, though. I've seen that joke many times. -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== lol ==

lol look at [[HR:trogdor.html|This]]. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Déjà vû… ==

Man, all those glitches remind me so badly of the subtitles Flash thingy I made back in the day... Exactly like Flipper, it had to load a swf from the Homestar site and display it with various differences (flipper has it upside down, subtitles had it with text overlayed). I had the same problem with weird-proportion toons (took about a page worth of geometry and algebra to fix that one), toons that used <code>_root</code> (it took me ''days'' to find <code>_lockroot</code>), and missing text in certain toons (I never fixed this one... I "fixed" it by never subtitling [[Under Construction]]...). It doesn't surprise me one bit that [[TBC]] hit the same problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

==A Conspiracy?==

[[http://www.makingfiends.com Making Fiends]] has some of its old cartoons edited for April Fools Day as well. Specifically all the characters have beards. Are any other sites doing things like this? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]
:[[Wikipedia:April 1, 2006|Quite a few]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== IT'S OVER! ==

Well guys it's all over. {{User:DBK/sig}} 06:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:Darn. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== What about us? ==

Should we make some mention of hrwiki's AFD adventures? Especially considering the fact that our admins joke was much better than even the Brothers Chaps' and should go down in Homestar Runner History. Of course it makes sense for it to be in the history of the wiki, but maybe at least a mention as a fun fact... -privatedrew
:It could go on the history section of our site. I think it's called HRWiki:A History or something.

== Too much spare time ==

The fact that you guys had enough time to go through every e-mail and main page to find problems really makes me wonder what some people value in life. {{unsigned|24.23.58.165|April 2, 2005}}

== 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)
: I was bold. ;) None of the other headings are title case; we should either change them all to title case or leave them all sentence case. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
::It's still hyphenated in the donation box. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Fixed. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
::::That one too, but I was referring to the main page bottom box, "If you've found this knowledge-base useful, please consider making a donation. Donations are used primarily to cover domain registration and hosting costs." {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Fixed. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::Haha, just as a side mention... Removing that hyphen from the donations box and replacing it with a space makes the two-pixel difference on my display, pushing it from a one line donation mention to a two line. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

== IRF the oracle ==

I just noticed that assuming TBC will keep with tradtion (not 100% since they didn't do a D'ween toon this year), the 150th email is scheduled at the same time as April fools. Perhaps those two themes will be tied together in sight unparalleled since tape leg. Me thinks next week will extra special in H*R land. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 19:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

== Woah. ==
The main page looks different to me did someone change it?

:Yeah, look two or three sections up. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:20, 21 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. I just question the need of displaying the specific model of digital camera that was used to take a photograph or superfluous details such as "exposure bias" or "maximum land aperture". Pardon me if I seem a bit overzealous. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 08:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::The date is usually interesting, at least. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::True, Thunderbird. But I question the accuracy when I see that you took [[:Image:Flashforward_TBC.JPG|this image]] more than three months prior to the event on 22 November 2005! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 21:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, that's just because I was too lazy to actually set the clock correctly on my camera. I'm sure TBC and affiliates are better about that kind of thing. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

== 5 more articles!!! ==

5 more till we reach 1337 status and I want to congratulate the wiki with many combolations as to their h4x0r defense {{unsigned|24.182.200.111|20:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)}}

== Left-handedness ==

Homestar plays lute and bass left-handed. What's Her Face also plays bass left-handed. Gregor is left-handed in "Everyone is Different". Notable? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

: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. The puppeteer uses his right hand to operate the head while operating the arm rod with his left hand. But that doesn't really relate to anything here, just a comment about the prominence of left handed characters in general. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

::I think that Homestar and What's Her Face playing left-handed is just a minor mistake overlooked by TBC. And by the way, a better place for this kind of discussion is [[Category talk:Running Gags]] or [[Category talk:Inside Jokes]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

== Recent Changes RSS ==

Okay. I just got an RSS reader, and, where is the feed located at? I tried the url of the rss link at the left od RC, but it isn't working. Help, at all? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

:Which RSS reader are you using, Bluebry? We use two different protocols for our feeds here, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss RSS] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=atom Atom]. Most readers support both protocols these days, but if you've only tried one protocol and it isn't working, you may have better luck with the other protocol. I may be able to help further once I know which reader you're using. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
::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)

::::My reader is an expansion to Firefox, called Sidekik. I've tryed both RSS and Atom on it. Ima try a new RSS reader. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:07, 29 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)

== Why can't I edit the main page? ==

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. We do this to prevent vandalism on the Main Page, our most visible page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for the help and info. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 07:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
:::We've added this info to the standard [[:Template:welcome|welcome]] message. Hopefully that will help get the word out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Perhaps a little inconspicuous edit link in the what's new template wouldn't go astray? I've seen a few wikis where the main page is full of templates, and they often have an edit link on each one... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::We tried that once, and it just opened the door back up. Apparently it wasn't inconspicuous enough. I think enough people know about how to update it that we don't need to change anything. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

== Interesting...What Does this Mean? ==

Last night, I way playing the Dancing Bubs game on H*R. Today I went on, and two of the songs weren't working. I checked, and the [[Secret_Pages#Music|swf files of the music]] had been deleted. Do you think that this could mean anything? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 15:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:[[Dancin' Bubs]] is working fine for me. Server may have just been having issues. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, [[Secret Pages]] tend to get low bandwidth and frequently appear to be deleted when they're not. For some reason, some of the songs in Dancin' Bubs are included in that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Those two songs seem to be 404 on occasion... without knowing technical details of TBC's hosting setup, it's difficult to know why. Though if I had to guess, I'd say that they might have two servers that they serve the files from, and the songs are missing on one... this could also explain why the <code>.exe</code> versions of [[take-a-break.exe]] and the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|screensavers]] don't always work, one of the servers could be configured differently to the other for <code>.exe</code> files. This is complete speculation, however, we know nothing about H*R.com's internal structure. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

== WikkiTikkiTavi ==

So... are we reverting to WikkiTikkiTavi permanently or temporarily? And can someone give us a specific reason why the change was made? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 05:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:The MediaWiki software was getting too complicated and difficult to maintain. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:Yeah, Has Matt?, didn't you read the memo? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

::I read the memo, but I was looking for a more specific cause. If it's some kind of secret we're not supposed to know, that's OK with me. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 05:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

April Fools. {{User:Salty/sig}} 05:11, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:I am afraid that you are incorrect, Salty. This was planned out months before today, and it was pure coincidence that it happened today. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 05:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:Pure coincidence? Rogue, everybody knows that the first of April is National Regrade Your Wiki day. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

How come Fanstuff is still running on MediaWiki? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 05:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:We haven't finished moving everything to the WikkiTikkiTavi version yet. Keep your pants on, Has Matt? :) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 05:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:In fact, it might be week or so before we can get to the Fanstuff. In the meantime, we plan on taking it offline in a day or two. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:Nope, this is real, Salty. I saw them working on it a few days ago, and asked It's Dot Com about it, suspecting vandalism. He explained it all to me, and I support the decision fully. It's not as pretty, but if it works, and it's less of a drain on the server... -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

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)

:You guys see? this is why we need a New Server, from what i understand, we need more servers to be able to run on Media wiki. oi, we should have another fund raiser for another Server. man this Sux. --{{User:Choc-O-Lardiac_Arrest/sig}} 05:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

::We're planning a pledge drive in May, but I don't think it's really a good use of funds to buy a second server when we don't get nearly enough traffic to need one. I think using 'Tavi will alleviate the problems we've been having for the foreseeable future. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 05:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah Choc-O, with this switch we should be able to eliminate enough Server stress to sell half of our server to the [http://tlh.wikipedia.org/wiki/ghItlh%27a%27 Klingons] or something.

I'm not staying, either. I'ma live at the fanstuff, and when they go down, I go down with 'em. Seriously. {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 10:40, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:That's too bad guys. Us sysops discussed this a few days ago, and I'm fully supportive of this move. We can still do everything he did before, the inconvenience isn't that bad, is it?

I have ''never'' seen a problem with mediawiki. Never. It's always been perfect. Do you mind telling us why the crap we're stuck here forever when the bad stuff isn't even seeable to us?!

This wiki is bland and boring... At least put a backround up like the old one. It is also harder to navigate through the pages and I liked it better when it was in MediaWiki!

I tried changing the skin to something a little less dull and most of the skins don't work! The classic one is kind of messed up because the HR picture at the top is a bit big and blocking some text and there is no search feild ether! I screwd up the skin stuff when I was tring to change to one and It would give me this error page if i tried to go any where. I needed to clear my cookies to reset it! I want MediaWiki back!

To be honest with you guys, this TikkiTavi thingy is really confusing for me to work with. I can't really get used to it. In the Media Wiki format, everything was easy to see and understand. With TikkiTavi, the links are all over the place, the colors are different, and the layout is confusing. Everything is just scattered. Can't we just revert to the way that we all know and love?--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 16:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I was examinig this and i found out that the real tavi looks like this, but the pages are different, this is only a skin for MediaWiki. (Or corse(sic) that I can be wrong, but mostly not.) -[[User:20eric06|20eric06]] 16:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

This is [[User:The Chort|The Chort]]. Unfortunatly, I accidently selected a skin in the preferences menu that doesn't work. As a result, I can't log in on my user name. Becuase it can't load the skin, all I get is an error message: '''Fatal error:''' Class skinchick: Cannot inherit from undefined class skintemplate in '''/home/hrwiki/public_html/skins/Chick.php''' on line '''21'''. At least I can edit anonomously. If this is an April Fools joke, than it should be OK. When reverts back to normal tomorrow, I can change back to normal from my preferences menu. But if this is for real (which I refuse to believe), then I guess I'll be leaving. I can't work on here, annonumously on a horrendous layout.

I don't know whether or not this is actually a joke (don't bite my head off here, anyone, I'm just a bit sceptical that they would make such a drastic change without saying anything), but those of us having a tough time adjusting to the new layout should switch to "Classic" skin on their preferences page. It's a bit more like regular MediaWiki thank the default Tavi skin. I hope this helped.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 17:12, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I think this is kinda fun. I've always wondered what life in Ye Olde Wiki was like.

A hint to admins: Years ago, I was on everything2 when the admins decided to creatively mess up the user interface on April Fools' Day. People ran away screaming and cursing and a few didn't come back, ever, for real. I got a horrible flashback of that day. It's one of those things you ''don't'' want to do, much less make people believe it's permanent. This was Not Funny. --[[User:Wwwwolf|Wwwwolf]] 18:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as if talking into a microphone}'' Check one, check two. Sibilance. Sibilance. SBEmail.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Candy</div>
Dear Strongbad 
I was wondering, if you are so famous, popular, and a 
chick-magnet how come you dont have any candy product... 
or food thing... to sell.............. 
From somone thats not homestarrunner
</blockquote>

''{While reading, Strong Bad says "Dear Strongbad I was wondering," as one clause, pronounces "dont" with a short O sound (as "daunt"), inserts exaggerated pauses where the ellipses are in the email, and says "somone" as a name.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, of course you're not, Somone. Or else you would've fallen prey to Edgar's Baby's Daddy: my Homestar junkmail filter. ''{clears screen}'' So what I don't have a candy product. I betcha I will by the end of this email. I'm famous, popular, and chick-magnet enough to have a candy product. Why is it athletes are the only ones with their own candy bars? Shouldn't they have their own brand of, like, jock-strap or divorce lawyer, instead? ''{clears screen}'' For my candy bar, we're gonna need a name that's 50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!!! How 'bou... SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{A brown "SBLOUNSKCHED! bar" smashes onscreen, and then disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz that's how you're gonna feel when you eat one...like you got SBLOUNSKCHED! ''{has trouble pronouncing the end}'' Now we gotta be sure and represent as many of the different states—

''{A [[candy product#The Periodic Table of Candy Elements|candy-based periodic table]] covers the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of candy matter as possible. We’ll start with a gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor—

''{While Strong Bad says the second sentence, a pile of marshmallows appears from the left and puffs into a shiny, white vapor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —encased in a globule of semi-solid licorice colloid.

''{As this is said, some black goo comes from behind and encases the vapor in a bubbly black sphere. It shrinks while it and many other identical blobs will the lower part of the screen as the next sentence starts.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A bunch of those will be floating in a channel of liquid nougat—

''{A wave of white nougat fills the lower half of the screen, and the licorice spheres are floating in the new stream.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —which I recently found out is the candy equivalent of veal. And we roll all that up inside a solid crispety cookety log—

''{At the end of the last sentence, a cookie dough log with chocolate chips wraps around the stream and puts it back to the center. It has a small stump sticking out with a leaf.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and cover it with rich, creamy... pepperoni.

''{Seven slices of pepperoni drop along the top of the candy log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then sprinkle that with, not just crispy puffed rice, but whole tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice cereal.

''{As this is spoken, twelve tiny bowls of chrispy puffed rice cereal drop onto the treat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally, smother that with the ol’ BBC: Boring Brown Chocolate.

''{Liquid chocolate is poured onto the candy and completely covers it.}''

'''ENGLISH VOICE:''' I say...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a confection worthy of the SBLOUNSKCHED name. But I need to think of a better shape than the standard piece-of-crap shape.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I’m talkin’ to you, Baby Ruth.

''{Cut back to the Periodic Table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lets see... shape, shape, shape, shape, shape—

''{The candy rapidly morphs through a series of shapes: a chainsaw, a dollar sign, a thumbs-up, a syringe, a campfire, the state of Indiana, a moustache, and the Van Buren Statue.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —ooh, what about my pants? Everybody knows my pants! And they come with a built-in bite out of them ''{chomp}'' for security, ‘cuz who’s gonna steal a pair of half-eaten choco-pants?

''{Cut back to computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Man, with a candy bar like that, you could get away with anything!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' You’ve got the munch, the crisp and the crunch, livin’ in the gutter with grandma. When coach puts you in, you gotta go for the win. Y2K turned out all right! SBLOUNSKCHED! You can do it! SBLOUNSKCHED! Crunchy chew it! Who’s got the money?!? You got SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{speaking very rapidly}'' Buy one and you can get one free root canal or cavity search.

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

*This is a parody of the actual [[Wikipedia:Periodic table|Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Chemical symbol|chemical symbol]] '''Ch''' is used for both the ''Chocolatium'' and ''Chewy'' elements.

===Explanations===
*Although the word [[wikipedia:colloid|colloids]] has several meanings, in this situation it refers to small particles that are suspended within the substance that contains them.
*[[wikipedia:Sibilants|Sibilants]] (or "sibilance") is a word commonly used when testing microphones to make sure that sibilant sounds ("s", "sh", "z", and "zh") are picked up properly.
*The date shown on the Tandy 400 is Friday, December 31, 1999. It is possible that Strong Bad was changing the date to avoid the [[Wikipedia:year 2000 problem|year 2000 problem]].

===Trivia===
[[Image:DaNewsPapes.png|thumb|Da NewsPapes]]
*Strong Bad's [[News Articles|newspaper]] reads as follows:
<pre>Da NewsPapes

World events continued for the 43rd
consecutive day. This is just 3 shy of
the all-time record of 46. Many believe
this to be a sign of things to come. Ed
Bache concurs. "This is a sign of
things to come."

Back Pape

Famous couples were spotted eating,
walking around, and on movie screens
across the country.
</pre>

===Remarks===
* Strong Bad's candy bar comes packaged in two different rectangular shapes — the first resembling the old Choco-Lite bar or a [[Wikipedia:Nestle Crunch|Nestlé Crunch]] with Caramel, and the second resembling a [[Wikipedia:Kit Kat|Kit Kat]] — in spite of the fact that the bar itself is supposed to be shaped like a pair of pants.

===Goofs===
*There is no back button at the end of the e-mail.

===Inside References===
*"Re: re: re: resending" is a possible reference to [[bottom 10]], where Strong Bad explains that he hates emails that have more than one Fwd:, or Re: in the subject line.
*"Draw [[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]] again ;)" is a reference to [[dragon]].
*This is another example of [[Homestar Peeking|characters peeking]] from behind objects in the foreground.
*One of the rejected forms for the candy bar is the [[Van_Buren | bust of Van Buren]].
*At the beginning of the commercial, small print at the bottom reveals that it is a production of [[Cheap As Free]] Foodstuffs.
*Marshie's creepy voice in the Easter egg is similar to an Easter egg in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

===Real-World References===
*The "SBLOUNSKCHED!" commercial refers to ads for candies like [[Wikipedia:Mentos|Mentos]] where it is suggested that consumers of the product can do anything at all.
*[[Wikipedia:Baby Ruth|Baby Ruth]] is a popular candy bar 2 oz. in size in a log-shaped form. Strong Bad's allusion to its scatological appearance is most likely a reference to a like-minded gag in the film [[Wikipedia:Caddyshack|Caddyshack]].
*[[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]] actually stands for ''British Broadcasting Corporation'', which may explain why the English voice is offended by Strong Bad's interpretation.
*"Sibilance," a word describing the "s" sound, was used by [[IMDb:nm0000158|Tom Hanks]] in a Wayne's World sketch on [[Wikipedia:Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]] in a soundcheck for [[Wikipedia:Aerosmith|Aerosmith]].
*The "built-in bite" shape of SBLOUNSKCHED! may refer to Grizzly Chomps, a Hostess-brand treat introduced in 1992. The packaging had two cupcakes with a bite-mark shape, with a cartoon bear saying, "I start 'em, you finish 'em."

Bear Holding a Shark

The '''Bear-Shark''' is a cardboard cut-out of a bear holding a shark, lurking [[Behind the Fence|behind the fence]] of [[Strong Badia]]. It is Strong Badia's "security countermethod", as [[Strong Bad]] puts it. It scares [[The Cheat]] often, as when The Cheat touches the [[Tire]], not only does he get an electric shock, but the Bear-Shark pops up. For reasons that are never really looked into, The Cheat seems to have a phobia of bears holding sharks. The Bear-Shark also plays the part of "headhunters" on Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace USA#Riverquest Safariventure|Riverquest Safariventure]]. It is scared off by firing a starting pistol in its general direction twice. It has been featured in a documentary detailing its roots in Strong Badian lore. Apparently, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and his "dog" [[Pom Pom]] were walking in the woods when they saw the "monsterman" (who suspiciously had white feet with blue soles). Strong Sad did not believe these [[myths & legends]] very much.

 this quiz was made by [mailto:jurjyfrort@yahoo.com jurjyfrort]</center>

Haldo! Welcome to me. Gnome. Of Fury. Ya. I am a rather large fan of H*R, and joined the wiki a bit ago. Now then...
=Some random crap about me=
'''''Warning: My memory is extremely unphotographic, so whatever I say happened might not have actually happened. You have been warned.'''''
==How I stumbled across H*R==
Well, I was on Wikipedia, another one of my favorite sites, and I was searching for Flash animations. I happened to come across Homestar Runner. I read the Wikipedia article, and it seemed interesting. So I went on the site. I believe the first 'toon I ever saw on the site was [[A Folky Tale]]. About the time of the "hooha down your pants" thing, I knew I was hooked. Then I started exploring the site, and eventually...
==I found the wiki==
I really don't remember how I found this wedsite (sic), but I know it was right before the NSMC thingamajiggerydoodah. The first edit I made was to the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, correcting the number of emails that [[Strong Bad]] had answered. Anyway, a couple days after that or something, the NSMC vandal struck. The next time I went there (mind you, I wasn't a frequent visitor yet) I was horrified to find that fateful message:
----
:'Due to circumstances not under our control, anonymous editing and new user registration has been disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience.''
----
Wha-wha-what??? No anonymous editing? Nooo!! Well, at least I can-- THEY TOOK NEW USER REGISTRATION TOO?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!11oneoneone. Aside from the overreacting, I had to sit idle just looking at the articles, none with my own material. Then, after a while or so, the wiki was open again. Of course, I decided to try registering. All went well, but at the image code, All Went Awry. I hadn't typed in the code correctly.. or at least it said so. Of course, after 384 incorrect type-ins, I was pretty sure there was something wrong. I planned to try again later. 'Course, then I lurked around for a month or two. But now, here I am. I even have a nice little signature, see? {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} That's my nickname, since I'm too lazy to be much more than a [[HrWiki:WikiGnome]]. The end.
==Other stuffs about me==
I attend 6th grade at Mayfield Middle School. I actually skipped a grade (2.5 in mathematics, since I attend Algebra I in a 7th grade classroom). But I'm not going to brag anymore.
===Things I likey===
Homestar Runner (duh), Homestar Runner Wiki (double duh), Wikipedia, um, beef stew. I really don't know. Instead, here are some...
===Things I don't likey===
Unsanitary public restrooms, anime (also known in some [[Old-Timey|1970s-ish]] circles as Japanimation), long movies, children's menus (Ages 5-''12''?? What 12-year-old cares about dumb food-themed characters?), chipping both front teeth in a bicycle accident (yes, it's happened to me), any insect that--no, just any insect, long division (ever heard of a calculator?), coloring, and, ironically, beef stew.
=For any new visitor=
A great way to find stuff you've never seen on H*R:
Go up to the random button on the actual website, click it, and watch whatever pops up. The end.
=Guestbook - R.I.P.=
Due to circumstances not under my control, guestbooks have been banished from the wiki. Rest in peace.
=And finally, thanx to:=
{{User:FireBird/sig}}, for giving me a handy dandy welcome message 
{{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}, for helping me with my almost-awesome sig 
{{User:Teh Frossty One/sig}}, for attempting to help me with my almost-awesome sig 
{{User:The thing/sig}}, for the same reason as Teh Frossty One
=And that's the end of my show, donk.=

[[Image:sbemail73.PNG|thumb|"Wondering what the Dumple is"]]

The Crazy Go Nuts University Dumples face off against Pile of Electronics State. Real fruit smoothies are at stake.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]], {{Film|The Announcer}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}} as [[The Jolly Dumple]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Athletic Field]], [[The Field]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' May 19, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:00

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!!

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! A little email never hurt nobody. 'Cept for maybe The Cheat. So what do we got here...

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was wondering what CGNU's mascot 
is, and if they have any sports teams. 
Thanks for the info. 
 
Ike</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, we got a mascot, Ike. Unfortunately, The Cheat, Strong Mad, and I were ''really'' hungry when we decided on a name. So, uh, all we came up with was the Crazy Go Nuts University Dumples. I think maybe we meant dumplings? But we were really hungry and tired and sorta confused and ended up putting Dumples on the application. We do have a sports team, though. The Golf Club Team. We have a game every day at 6pm!

''{cut to a shot of the scoreboard on the athletic field, reading:}

<pre> HOME VISITOR

Crazy Pile Of
Go Nuts Electronics
University State

0 0</pre>

''{Cut to The Cheat holding a golf club in a ring facing a pile of old electronics, with Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and Coach Z cheering him on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's go, Dumples!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DE-FENSE!

'''COACH Z:''' Get yer head in the game, The Chort! The Cheat is wide open!

''{The Cheat starts bashing all the electronics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah!

'''COACH Z:''' Atta boy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Go for the 8-track!

''{The Cheat smashes the 8-track and the scoreboard gives CGNU one point with a buzzing noise}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Dumples win!

''{everyone cheers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look everybody! It's The Jolly Dumple come to celebrate our victory!

''{Cut to Homestar in the Dumple costume. It looks like a ravioli with a tri-corner hat, a mouth, a big tongue with a drop of drool on a spring, and two huge hands giving thumbs-ups. As the Dumple dances, the fight song starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' 
Fighting and sometimes striving 
Wondering what the Dumple is 
Excellence and what is valor? 
And The Cheat will hit stuff with a golf club ''{The Cheat shows up holding cue cards that read "see", "gee", "in", and then "you", as Strong Bad chants:}'' 
C G N... U! 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Me?

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, we're still undefeated. But next week's going to be a tough game against Homestar's Knees Tech. Well, I gots to go. I promised the team I'd get them real fruit smoothies if they won the game. And they won the game. So I'm getting them real fruit smoothies.

''{He types in 'run "fightsong"' and walks off. Compy starts playing the song, showing the letter name of each note. Once it's done, it says "GO DUMPLES!!!" and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*You can click on "really hungry and tired" to see a "LEM" ([[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]]) styled cartoon of, well, them being really hungry and tired.
*You can also click on "application" to see their mascot application:
<pre>College Mascot Application

College Name: crazy go nuts university

Mascot Name: DUMPLES!!!

Dean of Students: myself

Essay on why you think this is a good mascot:
i want some food.

Drawing of Mascot:
you know, a dumple. like for dinner
(There is a picture of a fork with a "dumple" on it)</pre>
*At the very end after the fight song plays, rolling over the notes plays them.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The Pile of Electronics State team has a TV (later seen in [[Halloween_Potion-ma-jig#Inside_References|Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]), [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] ([[Marzipan]]'s microwave), a [[Wikipedia:Panasonic|Panasonic]] RQ-830S [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Track]] player (also referred to as "The Plunger" or "TNT" style), and a [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].
*References to [[wikipedia:valor|valor]] are common in the lyrics of college [[wikipedia:fight song|fight songs]] and [[Wikipedia:Alma_mater|alma maters]]. Valor is [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=valor defined] as the strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness.

===Remarks===
*"run 'fightsong'" is the syntax for executing a program on the [[Tandy 400]].
*Although The Cheat never hits the NES, it still breaks as though it were hit. The way he broke the glass on Mrs. Bennedetto wouldn't crush an NES.
*This is the first time we hear Coach Z say ''The Cheat'' correctly. Although, he is likely not referring to The Cheat himself.
*The notes for the fight song are C A F G F D A# G G G F E F G C A F G F D A# G G G F E F Proper musical notation dictates that "A#" (A-sharp) should be written as "Bb" (B-flat) since the song is in the [[Wikipedia:Major_scale|key]] of F Major, which has one flat and no sharps. The incorrect notation is due to a limitation of older music programs which could only parse flats if they were entered as the corresponding sharp.
*When The Cheat holds up the card(s) "SEE" "GEE" "IN" and "YOU", he just flips the same card over and over. That would be physically impossible because there are only 2 sides to the card but 4 words.

===Glitches===
*The "application" easter egg is accessible when the "really hungry and tired" easter egg is (before Strong Bad actually types "application").
*The notes for the fight song do not play the notes when rolled over in Linux, instead they make some kind of weird sounds.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad says, "A little email never hurt nobody. 'Cept for maybe The Cheat," he may be referring to [[little animal]] or [[huttah!]].
*The "really hungry and tired" easter egg looks very similar to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat's position at the beginning of [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs in this email are viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.

Well, I was on Wikipedia, another one of my favorite sites, and I was searching for Flash animations. I happened to come across Homestar Runner.

I really don't remember how I found this wedsite (sic), but I know it was right before the NSMC thingamajiggerydoodah.

The next time I went there (mind you, I wasn't a frequent visitor yet) I was horrified to find that fateful message:

Homsar

Gnome of Fury — Sat, 04 Feb 2006 01:54:17 GMT

Gnome of Fury: /* Biography */ added comment about Homsar being able to walk around the edge of the screen

{{charnav|Homsar|homsar|The Poopsmith|Homestar Runner}}
{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|homsar}}

[[Image:homsar evolution current.png|thumb|Homsar as seen in [[for kids]].]]

== Biography ==
'''Homsar''' is nonsense incarnate. He was created in the second [[Strong Bad Email]] when Vinnie C. misspelled "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]" and suggested that [[Strong Bad]] kill him. Strong Bad "killed" Homsar by dropping a [[Heavy Lourde|large weight]] on him, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] must have ended up liking the little guy and upgraded his condition from dead to seriously injured. Upon his recovery, he called [[Marzipan]] in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], thanking her for the flowers she had sent to him in the hospital, though he still couldn't feel his legs.

He resides primarily in easter eggs (e.g., [[Homsar Main Page]], his character tape, [[Downloads]] easter egg, etc.), but sometimes he'll appear in a regular [[Toons|toon]] or Strong Bad Email. He is often quoted by [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] fans, as his few appearances are often accompanied by cute and amusing little sayings. Usually, Homsar's speech is valid syntactically but not semantically: Though his sentences are as grammatically correct as anyone else's, the things he says are rarely useful or meaningful to anybody (except himself, presumably), making him notoriously difficult to converse with. Strong Bad claims to not be able to talk to the guy for more than three seconds before he considers gnawing his own leg off in [[interview]], and in [[Where's the Cheat?]], [[Bubs]] told Homsar not to talk to him.

Regardless, he appears to be a very social creature, often showing up at parties or dialing up other characters on the phone, and he seems to always be aware of his context on some level (though his "grasp on the world around him" appears to be looser than Homestar's loosest). Most of the time, he seems to forget (or not know) the names of those around him and assigns them random nicknames instead. He seems to be best friends with [[Strong Sad]], but Homestar seems to hate him, as he consistently disrespects him when the two appear together in various Halloween toons. Homsar serves in the [[Homestarmy]] and is the host of his own children's show: ''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]''. Nothing is known about his past, though Strong Bad once claimed on Homsar's behalf that he was raised by a cup of coffee.

Homsar is quite an accomplished costume maker, having appeared in several Halloween Toons and also having competed in the [[impression|Strong Sad Look-Alike Contest]], where he looked so much like Strong Sad that he was disqualified by [[Coach Z]]. Also, during the holidays, Homsar sets up a [[Homestar Presents: Presents|donation site]] (much like the [[Wikipedia:Salvation Army|Salvation Army]]) using a can of baked beans and a paintbrush that gongs like a bell. The fact that the paintbrush actually sounds seems to be a projection of Homsar's characteristic personal illogic onto the rules of his environment. In a similar phenomenon, Homsar seems to be able to defy gravity at will, and will sometimes walk around the edge of the screen. Homsar seems to even have the ability to make a copy of himself, as he displayed in the 4Tst Annual Fall Float Parade.

*'''Debut:''' Email [[homsar]]
*[[:Category:Homsar Filmography|Complete Filmography]]

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' The Hand-Me-Down Clown!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[The Field]]}''

''{The background is upside-down throughout the video, with the blue sky on the bottom of the screen and the green grass at the top.}''

'''HOMSAR''': AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. ''{bowler hat pops up and turns into a train conductor's hat}'' Climb aboard! ''{hat returns to normal}'' I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo! ''(Homsar's hat slides down the back of his head, then snaps back once the "Pshoooo!" sound is over)'' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! ''{spins around the screen backwards and ends up at the top, upside down}'' Think I won the Powerball.

(Note: To view Homsar's character video, click "Eject" on [[The VCR|the VCR]], then click the tape.)

== Homsar's Bowler Derby ==
[[Image:bowler derby.PNG|thumb|A headgear anomaly]]
His hat moves around all on its own every time Homsar speaks, but it always returns to its resting place on his head shortly thereafter, even if Homsar is standing upside-down (except in [[different town]], as [[Modestly Hot Homsar]], and [[origins]]). A rather amusing example of this is seen in [[A Folky Tale]], where the hat completed a full 360 degree revolution before coming back to rest on upside-down Homsar. It has also been known to change shape (in his character video) and appear from nowhere (in [[impression]]). When Homsar was first created, the hat was much larger and didn't fly as much.
 

== Fun Facts ==

*"Wonder Mike" is a member of The Sugarhill Gang, famous for the song "Rapper's Delight." In the beginning of "Rapper's Delight", Wonder Mike says "I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say hello", so Homsar saying "Hi, Wonder Mike" could possibly be a response.
*"Think I won the Powerball" is a reference to the multistate [[Wikipedia: Powerball|Powerball Lottery]], which is known for having large jackpots.
*Homsar's character page is the only one with background music.
*Homsar's nonsensical but grammatically correct dialogue is evidence of a trait found in some [[Wikipedia: Mental illnesses|mental illnesses]], and may be either [[Wikipedia: Word salad (mental health)|Word Salad]] or [[Wikipedia:Receptive aphasia|Receptive Aphasia]].
*Since the camera is presumably upside-down throughout his character video, Homsar starts the video upside-down and ends it right-side-up. He "stands on air" again in the long toon [[A Folky Tale]] as an Easter egg.
*[[Mr. Shmallow]] and [[Nibbles]] make the same walking noise as Homsar.
*In most Halloween Toons, Homsar is usually unlocked by something to do with The Poopsmith.

Gnome of Fury: gave help where it was needed

[[Image:Wikistress3D 5 v3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|My crush doesn't like me......]]

== Will somebody please help me make a different font on my sig? I'm desperate here! ==
I recommend checking out the instructions at [[HRWiki:Signature Help]]. Lookit my different font! {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 00:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
== Overview ==

Guys, I hope you all know I rock. 'Cause you really need to.

Anyway, my name is Willis Periwinkle. I've seen every cartoon on Homestar Runner, and I can safely say I've seen most more than twice. I found out Hrwiki.org a while ago when I typed in Homsar.com to see what happened. The result was a boring website, but one that led me to Hrwiki.org. I thought the idea was a clever one and soon I went on the website regularly. now I always check Hrwiki.org before going to Homestarrunner.com. I didn't actually know what easter eggs were before going here. You can't imagine the amount of toons I had to see all over again. Ah well. T'was fun to see them again anyway.

as for music, i never liked the bands of today. i hate them with a passion, and that means you, blink 182, green day, simple plan, good charlotte, and to a lesser extent, the killers. i'd much rather go for bob dylan, iggy pop, bruce springsteen, the white stripes, the j. giels band, brian wilson, moxy fruvous, and a few others.

== How I discovered Homestar Runner ==
Well, I actually learned about it in 2003, when my friend Marcus wore a Trogdor hoodie to school. He loved the website but I thought it sounded wierd and refused to check it out. When I moved to my new school, my friend Aidan started talking about it, and I knew I must check it out now. When I did, it became the most frequently visited website on my computer. Score.

== My favorites ==

I don't have any favorites. the toons are like my children, I love them all!

== So, who the heck is this guy?! ==

Well, I rock. That's all you really need to know. I told you that before, and I'm not happy to tell you again. That just really annoys me.

== Why the heck does this annoying jerk stay on such a cool website? ==
Because he has no friends. Kidding.

== Why the heck does this guy use so many headlines? ==

== Because he feels like it. So there. ==

== Things i'm proud of ==
well, I am not at all proud of this, but I ended up becoming a temporary troll. I was rewording something on the king of town new version, and when I came back, it had been deleted. I made it again. When I came back (just in case) it was deleted again. I got really mad and edited it so it said to stop editing, whoever ahole it was. I was subsequently blocked by firebird. Ah well. firebird, wherever you are, I apoligize. I don't have an anger problem, I have a stupidity and arrogance problem.

I also managed to revert the first pages that NSMC corrupted. No I didn't. I just wish I did.

I edit primarily on STUFF pages, and I like to think that I write valuable insights, though I doubt it.

== Anything else you want to know about? ==
Email me at willdude630@yahoo.com. And my im is willisperiwinkle at aim.

== My aspirations for the future of wikidom ==
I hope to be nominated as a sysop next year. I know this will never happen, but I still wish it would. Then I could hang out with cool people like Joeyday and Thunderbird. Oh, and Grapenuts. That cereal is a-prettypretty good! Yeah, I could totally replace him as a sysop. I mean, a robot?! Oh, wait. I couldn't. If that thing had a brain, it'd have twice the iq of me. Ah well.

I also hope to fight the next NSMC kinda vandal, if ever there was one. This time, I actually know how to revert edits, and I might actually help when the next big vandal comes!

Finally, I hope to be the user most linked to pages. That'd be awesome.

Gnome of Fury: Wierd

{{featuredarticle}}

Are we sure that Sticklyman is 20X6 The Poopsmith? I remember there was some debate about this when Under Construction first came out. I always thought he was just supposed to be a XiaoXiao guy. --[[User:Dark Grapefruit|Dark Grapefruit]]

:It still is debated. See: [[Talk:Stickly Man]]. I think the wording on the [[Stickly Man|article]] is sufficient until we get more info. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 13:40, 26 Oct 2004 (MST)

Note: Stop making non-canon (not from the cartoons) additions to the 20X6 pages.--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 13:38, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)

== A Discussion Waiting to be Discussed ==
We've seen Nebulon in Main Page 1 and LimoZeen But They're in Space which are both in present time. But we also see Nebulon on the game Stinkoman 20X6. I think this should qualify Nebulon to be a 20X6 character as well as a present-day. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 13:23, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey, since it's 2006, that means that it's 20X6... right... now. It boggles the mind, doesn't it? This pointless comment was produced by {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 21:11, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

#[[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 00:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC) I use HRWiki only as a knowledge base. I have no interest or stake in guestbooks at all. If people want to do stuff that has nothing to do with the stuff I'm interested in, that's fine, but not when it starts taking significant attention (especially admin attention) away from the true purpose of the site. Also, after having read the entire page, I think I can safely assume that Strong Bad would mock us mercilessly for spending so much time and energy on something like this.
#This is enough. End guestbooks. The hrwiki isn't Wikipedia, and it is on a funny cartoon, but...IT IS A WIKI. Meaning that it is an encyclopedia. Not a place to mindlessly sign your name on the nearest available guestbook. Just wait ten days, do whatever you decide to do with the things, and forget it ever happened.

#::Guestbooks make relationships, granted, but that's not the only way to make relationships. This H*R knowledge-base wiki is not designed to be a place to hang out and socialize. That's what the forums and [[HRWiki:IRC channel|IRC channel]] are for. The proper way to make relationships on this wiki is to make good edits; eventually people will notice you.

#:I think that would be a good point ''if'' signing a guestbook meant that someone had actually looked at the page. When it's just a game, however, to see how many you can find and sign, it loses all meaning. Also, notice the little counter down at the bottom (where it says "This page has been accessed ''n'' times"). You can track that number to see how many people are visiting your page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:03, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

#The guestbooks aren't killing anyone, they're just fun. Why should we all act like a bunch of proper stuck ups on a Homestar Runner fan site? Now, if this were turning into a trend on Wikipedia, that'd be one thing, but this is a wiki on a silly, fun cartoon, and guestbooks are one of my fondest memories of this web site. What's next, will saying things like "ARROW'D!" be banned? Of course, I'm sure everyone is going to hate on me now and diss me like a bunch of geeks and nerds, just like what they did when somebody proposed that they could be saying "Strong Bad paints Marzipan" in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
#:Just for info: ''I'' was the one who proposed that. I don't exactly recall being catcalled about it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
#::Yeah, I noticed it was you right after I posted that. Well, I remembered everyone dissing you for that. There have been other times that users have been treated like crap for having a different opinion, though, and that wasn't a very good example, I guess. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
#:::I agree, this may seem a bit extreme to some, but this part of the ''HRWiki'' family of websites is primarily for [[the facts]]. A more relaxed, "anything goes" atmosphere exists at the Fanstuff Wiki. Though this site isn't Wikipedia, we still strive to emulate their formal style, and attempt to limit most of our work here to building the Knowledge Base. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#::::Yeah, that's a good point. We should probably be on the look out for more things in Homestar Runner to pick at until they're not even funny anymore. For a more formal atmosphere, how about we all strangle each other as we argue over fhqwhgads? Is she a wiffle ball? Are [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fhqwhgads Urban Dictionary's] theories true? And only we visiting the Fanstuff Wiki should watch Homestar for fun. Instead, let's try to find Homestar as boring as possible, so that all we can do is analyze crap.
#::::So, who's with me? Are we going to save the guestbooks, or are we going to suck all the life out of the wiki and make pages like [[Strong Bad Saying, "I Mean I (Did Something)"]] until nobody visits besides us? All right, perhaps I went a bit far. Anybody who's offended, no hard feelings. I just want sweet guestbook freedom. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
#:::::Uh, ok. Did you even bother to read the reasons why we wish to get rid of guestbooks? We are just trying to make life easier for patrollers. Besides, signing a guestbook does not mean that you are even remotely interested in their page. It just shows that you have a fast mouse and tilde finger. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 06:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#::::::Look, I hate to have the whole site against me, especially since I probably won't have as much luck winning you guys back as Strong Bad does, but no, I didn't read the excuse list. Why, because I know it won't affect my opinion on guestbooks. In my experience, I've visited way more talk pages thanks to guestbooks, and I actually check out what's there, so that I can get to know a little more about these peoples before I post. But if you'd like to liberate the site from those ridiculous fan activities, go ahead. I'll keep doing what I'm doing even if it means getting banned! I feel a song, erm, rap coming on...

It helps to know what's already been said. 5) Although I'm sure the shock got your fight-or-flight reflexes going, so far no one ''is'' hating on anyone; the conversation so far has been civilized and non-angry.

#::::::::Mr. Katana (or should I call you Mr. X?), Like a wise user once said to me when I was just new to the wiki and didn't have a username: "''sarcasm doesn't exactly work wonders while attempting to argue a point''". And now for the actual reply. We all want to have friends and meet new ones. If this fact was false we wouldn't have such sites as MySpace. Yes, the wiki is a way to make friends, contrary to what some people were saying here, and no, the Fanstuff is not the only place to goof around. But (and that's a big but) making friends through random signatures left on your userpage is not the way to do it. Some userpages told the signers to leave a comment next to their sig. While some posted things like "Thenks for helping me" or "We had fun that one time", alot of them left comments like "Yay! I'm number 27!" or "What? Another guestbook?!" showing that they don't really care about you, your userpage or how good your edits are. It just became a wall intended to be place for art pieces but ended up for ugly graffiti. If you want to make friends, have you thought of going to the chatroom? Having a project, a big one? Think about the wiki as school. An open one where you can make everything. Do you make friends by going to random people with a pen and writing something on their back? Or do you make friends by making something beautiful for all to see? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#:::::::::First off, check what I posted before I was editing conflict'd. And second, too much ugly graffiti? I love too much ugly graffiti! No, seriously, where I come from graffiti is the finest art form around, but that's not really the point. This wiki isn't a school, unless it's the Crazy Go Nuts University, and I couldn't give a crap less whether people care about me or not, as you can plainly see. That's how I met basically everyone here, and that's how I met all my friends here who probably all hate me now. Anyway, even if it is a big waste of time, it's just freaking user pages, not actual articles, and from what I know, these guestbooks haven't caused any tragedy. So there, ban me for my guestbook. It's a Free Country, USA and I will not be silenced! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
#::::::::::1) Please see my most recent edit above. 2) Yeah, I've made the school analogy before, but I was just thinking "everything that's ''good'' or has the potential to be good about school, hopefully without the really crappy side effects." I.e. ideally it ''would'' be a place for creativity, spontaneity, and individual expression, plus communal, supportive collaboration, but without getting stuffed into lockers or simply called a dumb***. Hopefully it would ''not'' be a militaristic institution for the mass-producing of servile factory fodder either. 3) I'd be really surprised if anybody on the wiki hates you right now, ''including'' those with the opposite opinion on this argument. Guestbooks ''do'' make friendships (though meaningful talk page edits do so even better), and if the friends mean more to you than the guestbook, then even if guestbooks go the way of MXPX ''and'' the buffalo, you'll have what mattered in the first place. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 07:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#:::::::::::Yeah, we're on the same page. Or, more accurately, we're on two different pages which are right next to each other, but that counts too. One thing though, I don't think MXPX will be taking the buffalo route any time soon - I just heard them on [http://www.tv.com/users/DarthKatanaX/profile.php?action=show_blog&entry=175628 Burnout Revenge] and all. So, to close it up, I'll halfta go check that out, and hopefully none of my friends will take my flames personally. You might want to check out the Fight for the Guestbooks on my talk page, anyway. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
#::::::::::::Not long ago, before guestbooks were popular, we ''still'' managed to communicate, form friendships, plan projects, and so on... through the use of ''talk threads'' and ''IRC chat''. No one is going to be asking you to stop communicating. No one is going to prevent you from reading user pages and posting meaningful comments on the talk pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#:::::::::::::The advantage of a guestbook, of course, is that it ''solicits'' input from other users, where as an "unadvertised" talk page isn't likely to get unprovoked discussion that often. I ''have'' seen several creative examples of snagging input (input beyond a signature) already in play, though: I mentioned [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt]]'s list of things Homsar should say; Heimstern's recurring [[User:Heimstern Läufer#German translation fun|German H*R quote]] also springs to mind, as does Tony Stony's [[User:Tony Stony#Me (screenshot from iMirror)|Frankenpic]]. These 1) provoke people to sign, 2) are H*R related and require H*R skillz, and 3) are fun. I think they'd do what guestbooks set out to do, but do so much better. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

#::That's just one person. Although I agree with his statement, I don't agree with rapid signing. I, like Has Matt, look at a person's page before signing it.

#:::We wouldn't be having this discussion if it were just one person. When it comes to the point that you need an entire page devoted to a subject just to discuss it, that's indicative of an actual problem.

# This is a bittersweet oppose. I have a guestbook and I like it. I like seeing who has read my page. I think I was one of the original 6 guestbooks and my guest book dates back to October. I have even put up cute things to try to get a few certain people **cough cough**JoeyDay, Tom, HomestarCoder, Phlip, Joshua, Jay, The Paper, DorianGray, FireBird **cough cough** to sign it. I wish we can roll back the clock or restirct the creation of new guestbooks (grandfather the old ones in). I think the reason that Userpage edits have skyrocketed is that TBC haven't put a lot out lately and frankly I'm bored. Today I logged in about 4 times (because its a monday) and once I saw that there is no new toon, I check out user pages of my comrads.

#I don't see anything wrong with guestbooks. The primary "problem" seems to be that it floods Recent Changes. Increase the number of things that appear in Recent Changes, then. Besides, it's not like other things don't flood Recent Changes (Image templates, category additions, bots, etc). The other problem was that there's an increasing number of edits that have to be checked for vandalism. As the wiki grows, there'll be more edits, user namespace or otherwise.

#Agree with Darth Katana X. Not to say the HRWiki isn't awesome ('cause it is!), but ''come on!'' Wikipedia has more "silly" "un-encyclopaediac" stuff like this, and Wikipedia is supposed to be an ''encyclopaedia'', not a website about a ''funny'' web cartoon. Anyway, I'm fine with restricting guestbooks to one per userpage, and one signature per guestbook. But banning them is kinda pointless, guestbooks really don't do much harm (and yes, I did read the discussion below), and one can just filter out the "User" namespace on the recent changes if it gets in the way (which it really). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
#Even being a member of the Recent Changes Patrol, or something like that, I don't see what's wrong with guestbooks. They let people know they exist without vandalizing. Plus, '''if users just put in the summary that they signed the guestbook, we won't have to be as paranoid about it'''. Sure, they're pointless and take up space, but come on! It's not like this is the Encyclopaedia Brittanica Wiki. It's the Homestar Runner frickin' wiki! It's about a funny little web cartoon! Now, if there ''was'' an Encyclopaedia Brittanica Wiki, and this was it, sure, I would oppose. But this is the Homestar Runner Wiki. Laugh a little. ''Live'' a little. I mean, even Wikipedia has some pointless joke stuff. Now they would oppose guestbooks, sure, but that's because of the difficulty of checking recent changes; they make hundreds of edits in a minute. But on this wiki, edits are made much less frequently. We have time, people. We can mark things as patrolled nice and, uh, relaxily.

====Comments====
* The primary objections seem to be 1) that they make userpage vandalism harder to spot, and 2) they make a lot of "empty" edits to check out in general. Stux suggested restricting them to User Talk pages; although it wouldn't solve the second issue it would solve the first. Although I don't like them, I'm not so sure they need to go entirely; they ''do'' have some benefit in community-building, plus banning them even from talk pages seems a little draconian. (If the defense were that they're not wiki-related talk, many of us would be [[User talk:AbdiViklas#Solfège...|guilty]].) Certainly only one per user per lifetime should be allowed, but I'm not ready to vote to end them entirely and everywhere. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*:I think the reason that people are ready to get rid of them entirely is because they are not being used as real guestbooks. A signature on one does not mean that the user page was appreciated or even read. Some users actively campaign (via talk page spam) to try and get more signatures, which just drives up frivolous edits more. This is why I believe they should be eliminated, not just moved. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*I wish there was some way to keep certain guestbooks, such as the ones that were around before they were a fad, or the ones used actually as guestbooks, not as a challenge to see how many signatures they can get by a certain date... But there's not really a way to fairly decide that, is there? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*:Yeah, it's kind of like when one noisy student ruins the field trip for the whole class. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*::I hear you, Thunderbird. But yes, that ''would'' be quite difficult to justify reasonably: "Your guestbook is appropriately motivated; you can keep it! But ''your'' guestbook is a mercenary guestbook; you can't!" I personally don't find the argument of function compelling (not "proper" guestbooks); frivolous edit and talk page spamming ''are'' concerns, though. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*Since I seem to be saying a lot in defense of guestbooks, I just want to play the other side for a sec.: There's no reason people can't simply link to blogs or personal websites which have guestbooks of their own. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*:Just curious, but why ''are'' you saying so much in the defense of guestbooks? You don't have one. Almost none of the people with whom you collaborate most often have one. Have you ever formed a meaningful friendship through one? I myself have signed a few guestbooks (back when that's what they were), but nothing substantial came of it. Again, I'm just curious. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*::Right; not only do I not have one, but I've never bothered to sign one that I can remember. It's not ''just'' that I'm playing Devil's Advocate, arguing for them since there seemed to be few voices for them at first; I do actually feel that they don't necessarily need to go. Mind, I ''definitely'' think at the least "guestbook reform" is necessary, and would like to see their form and function not only preserved but improved; I just have misgivings about a cold-turkey crackdown. I'm certainly not going to be broken up if they go, since I don't think they're doing as much good or meaning as much as their owners perceive them to, but I'd like to keep the "anything goes in your userspace ''except''" list no longer than necessary. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

*Finally! I am so tired of this stupid fad! You sign one guestbook, another million pop up. They serve no purpose to the wiki and, frankly, they're now really unoriginal. Are we just owning and signing guestbooks because everyone else is? I mean, when it comes to taste, everyone just follows each other like sheep. Why else are the music charts here in England full of crap? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*:By the way, if you haven't liked them, there's always been an avenue of dissent: not to sign them. I've never quite figured out the cases where somebody signs a guestbook and simultaneously complains about it. Seems to me by signing you'd just be helping them spread. (I know, there can be social obligation, etc. Just saying.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*::Ok, I confess. Like many other users, I just sign guestbooks to increase the number of links to ''my'' user page! Yes, I know. It's a form of self-advertising. Stick your signature everywhere and more people visit your user page. Besides, all I put is "My autograph? Sure!", giving no feedback whatsoever. I use talk pages to do that. I should probably be locked away for such crimes. Anyway, the main thing is that these points alone probably show why we should get rid of them. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
*just because you consider it a fad, it's a USER PAGE. as in, the USER gets to decide what to do with it. and if they want a guestbook, it's not up for the wiki to decide. this sounds like a meaningless rule designed to give more control to a humble majority. "I don't like jumproping! nobody else can jumprope from now on!"{{User:DJ Teh Cheat/sig}} 16:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*:Actually, user page control is not absolute. We do give quite a bit of leeway as to what you can put on a user page, but there are [[HRWiki:User_space#What_should_I_avoid.3F|certain restrictions]]. If the community decides (and not by just a simple majority) that it's best if we eliminate guestbooks, then we will. But we're not taking this decision lightly—It has simply reached a boiling point. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*::Right; despite what I ''just'' said a few edits above about "anything goes in your userspace except," it's ''not'' your private property, and it ''is'' for the wiki to do decide.

*:Well, it would be possible from a technical standpoint, but I'm not very comfortable with random users' edits not showing up in the recent changes.

*These three consecutive edits illustrate the supporters' positions precisely: If you were a speed reader, you ''might'' could get through all three of those pages in less than a minute each, but would you have enjoyed the experience at all? I think not. Those who would read a user page are no longer signing guestbooks, and those who now sign guestbooks are just clogging up the recent changes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*:I have to say that I am not a person that goes on a random guestbook signing spree, subsequently clogging up recent changes. If I find a user page which I haven't read, I read it, if I am interested and have time, and if that user has a guestbook, I sign it as well. I do not just look for the guestbook on a page and see how many I can sign in a minute. However, I know I can't speak for the rest of the Wiki, which is why we are having this conversation in the first place. You have to admit, whether you like it or not, guestbooks have affected this Wiki in a huge way; some think it's affected it for the good, some think for the bad. I know that a lot of friends have been made through guestbooks, and that they can be utilized to function in a positive fashion, but I also have to admit that they have caused a lot of problems in the Wiki as well. I am not a strong supporter or opposer of the idea of taking away guestbooks. It does seem kinda totalitarian and 1984-ish to ban guestbooks from the Wiki, but on the other hand, this Wiki's main purpose is not to have fun, but to document anthing and everything Homestar Runner. While there are a lot of ways we can have fun in the process of doing that, it seems as if guestbooks have ventured beyond the realm of a fun, innocent little thing that shows how valued you are to a way to get attention and compete to be the first one to sign. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*::i agree with the beginning of what has matt just said. not everyone just goes on for a guestbook, and if you think it clogs up the recent changes, '''deal with it.''' that is just the way it goes. i know lots of people have made friends, i would too if i felt like being an actual user. guestbooks are good.

*::::true, i must admit. it's just that guestbooks seem like, almost....icebreakers. you are not going to go to a talk page and type, "want to be my friend?" instead, you will have signatures that you will go to, and their you will laugh at the stuff they say. then you will eventually just leave notes on their talk pages, and it will be great.

* To be honest, I don't think the "Recent Changes Flooding" argument is a particularly strong one. Whenever I look at Recent Changes, the two things that catch my eye a lot more than Guestbook entries, even frequent ones, are the occasional flood of <nowiki>{{web-screenshot}}</nowiki> and similar edits that go on a lot of images all at once, and when users make a whole bunch of minor edits to their sigs, their user pages, etc., all at once. (I'm guilty of doing this myself now and then.) Very rarely do I see guestbooks as causing a lot of spam in the Recent Changes list, and they personally don't bother me. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
*:The web-screenshot floods are a necessary evil for us not getting sued (and I'm not getting into that now) and will stop the moment the project is done. If users would just learn to use the "Show preview" button before all those minor changes it wouldn't flood the RC page. The only thing that is left flooding is the guestbooks, and we are discussing those right now. Please don't try to change the subject or pointing the finger on other stuff. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
*::Besides, KieferSkunk, the point I keep trying to make is that the recent changes flood is just indicative of a bigger problem. But never mind that for a second... You can easily hide image edits by switching the namespace to "Image" and pressing "Invert selection". (Also, once we finally get all the images tagged, we won't have those floods anymore.) I sometimes use the same trick with the "User" namespace just so I can see the "real" edits, but this isn't a viable option in the long run for patrollers because vandalism would go completely unchecked. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:56, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
*:::I realize that, and I'm not trying to change the subject or point fingers. I'm just pointing out that, to me personally, the Guestbook-related edits don't bother me - they seem to take up much less room in Recent Changes (at least whenever I look at them) than other edits, and I just sorta tune them out most of the time. I don't see it as being as significant a problem as others do, apparently. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
*Has it occurred to anyone that since a guestbook generally has its own subheading on a userpage, the word "guestbook" or some form thereof automatically appears in the edit summary, meaning that they can easily be distinguished from userpage vandalism on recent changes? And that's really the whole case against them, the recent changes problem, is it not? [[User:Yeltensic|Yeltensic]] [[User talk:Yeltensic|Save the guestbooks]] 19:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
*:No, as Dot com explained in response to your comment above, the recent changes problem is NOT the primary problem. The primary problem is that guestbooks are not being used reasonably - there's too many instances of "I need to sign as many guestbooks as possible / get as many sigs as possible in the shortest period of time." {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
*:Perhaps I should clarify. What I meant is that the recent changes problem is the only ''valid'' concern. The fact that you dislike them, or the way that they are use, is not a valid concern as far as grounds for banning them. For instance, I don't like rap music, does that mean it should be illegal? No, of course not, because other people like it. [[User:Yeltensic|Yeltensic]] [[User talk:Yeltensic|Save the guestbooks]] 21:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
*::That argument would hold if we were trying to ban guestbooks from the Internet as a whole. This is the Homestar Runner Wiki, and we have lots and lots of policy as to what's allowed on pages. For example, you're only allowed two personal images. You're not allowed to put a blog on your userpage. You're not allowed to post fanstuff in the knowledge base. You're not allowed to say R-rated things. Nobody would stop you from creating an external guestbook and linking to it from your userpage. "Other people like it" is not a complete argument. Admin'ing on the H*RWiki has taught me that lots and lots of people like to go from page to page and replace the character names with "POOP LOL" but nobody thinks we should allow that. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

*A teeny little bit of Devil's advocate here: So, there's a part of me that wonders if this fad would just go away if we left it alone. I find that, with the exception of those who are protesting this proposed ban, people are becoming less interested in guestbooks (notice how many people deleted their guestbooks right about the time Bubsty left). Maybe I haven't been looking at the right times, though. I guess I just wanted to get it out there that it ''might'' not be necessary to carry out this ban. Like I said, though, this is largely Devil's advocate; I'm not really against getting rid of guestbooks. Thanks for putting up with my rambling. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
*:Then again, I'm just realizing now that the disapperance of some guestbooks (mostly by good users) means that a greater portion are of the existing guestbooks are frivolous. So, maybe that's a good reason to go ahead with the ban. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
*I, like Heimstern, have been somewhat abstaining from voting one way or another in this issue. There are probably more people who are somewhat ambivalent to the issue. I, myself don't have a guestbook, but I have signed many in my day, as I've mentioned before. I think the hardest thing to swallow is having to part with something that been attached to and they pride themselves in (be it for frivolous reasons or not). When I first saw them, I thought it was a great idea. I didn't know it had become the nuisance it is now until i started reading this dicussion. Personally, I still feel like eliminating them altogether seems like a rather extreme solution to the problem. Of course, like Heimstern said, many good users have voluntarily removed their guestbooks and what remains are the seemingly fanatical ones. It seems that a tug-of-war has arised over the desire for some users to have as much freedom over their userspace as possible, versus the need for this wiki to grow as a community and in order to do so it must have some reasonable structure to it. The willingness of many established members to give up their guestbooks is a clear sign that there is a problem. I think if the remaining guestbook users can show and exercise some restraint over their guestbook presentation and signing (i.e. having only one guestbook, not racing over signatures, etc), the general guestbook atmosphere can change to where a compromise can be reached and instead of banning guestbooks altogether, a set of reasonable guidelines are established on proper guestbook etiquette. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
*:You'd think so, wouldn't you? You'd also think that guestbooks wouldn't have grown to the problem they are now, but they have. You'd think that now that this issue is front and center, users wouldn't ''still'' be racing across the wiki playing guestbook hunt, but they are. Guestbooks are neither are a longstanding feature of the wiki nor something irreplaceable, and they need to go. The culture developing from the racing guestbook hunters seems to center entirely on the user namespace, something that is at odds with the purposes of this project. Ironically, though these users must spend a lot of time on user pages, retention of the info there cannot possibly be very high when the total time spent on any one page is less than a minute. There are better ways to communicate than that. For more than a year we got by without them and we will get by once they're gone. You might note that you and I have collaborated on several projects and know each other pretty well (relatively speaking) without once ever having signed a guestbook on the other's page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
*i don't think guestbooks do much on either side. the recent changes thing doesn't matter much. also, people have the right not read a page. really, in my opinion, this whole page doesn't matter. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 23:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
* Personally, I don't have one. They take a lot of space for those really popular folks, and seem to be a list of who all likes the person _BUT_ I still think they are a part of the user page and, while an easy target for vandalism, could also be used in a positive manner.

Aside from the possibility that having them around might incite new ones (which the "closed" tag idea [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Other|below]] ought to curtail), what exactly are they hurting? Even if deletion is necessary, is there a reason to go in and delete them by force with a "the notice has been up" defense rather than starting by asking the user to do so? It seems so...

#::Keep in mind that almost nothing is actually ever deleted from the wiki. If people want to visit their old guestbook, it will still be in the history. You ask what they're hurting, and several people have said that they clog the recent changes. While I agree with this, it isn't the basis of my opposition to them because I think it is a weak argument and is only a side-effect of the underlying problem: namely, at some point in the not-too-distant past, guestbooks reached a critical mass and exploded. When that happened, they lost all meaning and became a game. In other words, if guestbooks were currently being used as they were intended to be used, then I would fight tooth and nail to keep them and ''to heck'' with the annoyance of the patrollers. ''But they're not,'' and I have no reasonable expectation that simply ''moving'' them would change the current behavior even one iota. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Cool/sig}} 07:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
*::Yeah, good questions. First: once we're talking about talk pages, I for one would be cool with pretty much anything. As I've hinted earlier, some might not find discussions of the [[User talk:AbdiViklas#...And the Absoluteness of Absolute Pitch|absoluteness of absolute pitch]] the most ''meaningful'' talk page content. But I think the policy could be stated fairly clearly: don't just leave your name; try to say something substantive that will make the user happy or tell him or her something about you. The fact that your #143 only makes ''you'' happy, and isn't a particularly intrinsic personal quality. Secondly: Whoa now, yeah. ''If'' this conversation results in a change in policy, then I feel like it should be implemented by leaving the owner a note asking to do it him or herself. He or she can then either delete or move and convert it (though the vast majority would need to just start from scratch—which isn't so bad, really). Rather than moving to subpages and locking, my proposal would be to '''add a tag to existing guestbooks telling other users not to add to them, and then enforce it with warnings'''. It's not like we're dealing with vandalism on the Main Page here; once somebody accidentally signs a "closed" guestbook and is warned, they're not going to continue. If they do, they need to be banned anyway. But closed STUFFs, for instance, survive just fine without locking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 07:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

#::::Oh-ho-ho-ho! (devilish laugh) Sorry about that, I just felt like this place needed a random Strong Bad quote. Okay, back on task. Why don't we just put something in the standards page that says something like, "Although guestbooks in the Wiki are discouraged, you are allowed to have ''one'' guestbook on a subpage or on your talk page." Just another idea I'm throwing out here. You'll probably find some problems with this idea one way or another, I just felt it needed to be mentioned. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 14:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#:::::I would not have a problem with comments restricted to talk pages, but why would an organized guestbook be necessary there? First of all, there's nothing that prevents someone from starting a thread: "Hey, I read ''X'' on your page and you rock!" I have done that myself several times. Second, as we have clearly seen, there seems to be something wrong with a structured list with the label "Guestbook" that causes certain people to go into a frenzy, which completely negates the whole reason to have people sign it (i.e. to indicate that the user page was read and appreciated). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
#::::::How about this. If the guest book bannination is accepted. how about we give people with guest books 2-3 days to move to a sub page and have a sysop lock it.

#I go for this option i'm voting for, but here's an idea: why not have a global hrwiki guestbook, for those of us that like to sign guestbooks? We lock all guestbooks except for this page where someone can sign their name in for the entire wiki? Strange I know but it just occurred to me. Another q: if guestbooks are totally deleted, yes they remain in the page's history... but what about guestbook subpages? (like the one that USED to be User:Kilroy/Guestbook)? Their histories are lost. Just like that last page I mentioned. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

== Original discussion ==
''This disscussion was originally found in [[HRWiki:Da Basement]]''

Guestbooks started out as kinda cute. Then they became a fad. Now it seems that everybody's user pages are being edited by other people. I remember a time when such a thing was vandalism nine times out of ten. Having guestbooks is really becoming a nuisance for recent changes. I think we should do away with them. I don't even think moving them to a subpage is a good idea, because it seems most people just go around blindly signing them, without actually reading the page in question. I would prefer, if someone had read my user page, that they just made some kind of meaningful comment on my talk page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:24, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
:I am going to have to say that I agree. At the very least, all current guestbooks need to be moved to a subpage. Guestbooks now are just for signing them, not to show that someone reads a guestbook owners userpage. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 04:27, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

::I concur with Ben on all counts. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Yessir. It's Dot Com hit the nail on the head. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 04:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

::::Yeah, you guys are probably right. I have to admit, I'm also guilty of owning a [[User:Thunderbird L17/Guestbook|guestbook]], but if that's what it takes to do away with this pointless fad, I'll give a vote towards getting rid of all guestbooks, including my own. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::I like signing guestbooks. I don't have one but I like signing them. About 75% of the time I do end up reading the page in question too! I hope I'm not the exception. Perhaps they can be restricted to the user's talk page? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::'''EDIT CONFLICT:'''Agreed with everybody. Signing a guestbook doesn't say that you like that page, or that you enjoyed what they wrote. I agree with Dot com, leave a message with some thought if you want to say that you liked a user page, not put your sig on their userpage. I don't think guestbooks are ''bad'', they're just pointless.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 05:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::When we come to a point when (and I don't want to name names) there are two or three different guestbooks on the same userpage for no reason at all, or that there's a "guestbook race" where users race to see who could sign it first, or even when a user picks up a deadline for getting X signatures before a certian date, it's time to get rid of that fad. I hate seeing users who have more then 500 userpage and usertalk edits, but less then 20 mainspace edits. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Stux: That wouldn't make a difference. It's not about where it is, it's the fact that it clutters Recent Changes up and makes patrolling edits a nightmare. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 07:41, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::I agree, although guilty of signing a few. It's become not only a fad, but a competition. Who can sign the most guestbooks, who can sign the fastest, whose is longer, who can reach the most by such and such date--even who [[User:Bluebry muffin|has the most]]. I personally wouldn't mind seeing them go. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::::::That page made me agree with getting rid of them. In fact, I'm gonna go get rid of mine right now. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 03:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::''{sigh}'' It's sad it got to this point. It's really kind of like [[The Geddup Noise]], isn't it? We've gone from "Guestbooks used to be cool!" to "Corporate Guestbooks still suck". I hate the thought of them being banned, but it probably has gotten to that point. I'll support it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:01, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::Guestbooks are dying with their original creator, [[User:Bubsty|Bubsty]]. I'm taking mine out too. {{User:Dantheburgerking/sig}} 04:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:His is gone. [[User:24.18.208.18|24.18.208.18]] 23:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Thanks, I [[HRWiki:Da Basement#noted|just meantioned]] that. His' is [[User:Bubsty/guestbook|still around]], just not really linked to much.

::::I think [http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=IPADDRESSMAN this] is an interesting point... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::Heh. That ''is'' interesting. But guestbooks clearly died out at some point (perhaps when we switched to MediaWiki), and have only recently resurged. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::Yeah. I'm not sure if anybody remembered his or not to start the MediaWiki generation of Guestbooks, but that's beside the point. We're getting a bit off topic now (mostly my fault). The question isn't who started them, it's should we keep them, and/or what should we do about them? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:I agree with Dot com. (I know, I left, but I was finishing this killerdynamo and admin-hating thing up...) About 2-3 weeks ago they weren't ''that'' big of a deal, but now it's gotten kinda... insane. Especially if everyone starts getting [[User:Bluebry muffin|more then one]]. They started out being cute, but ''now'' they're just plain annoying. (I feel kinda bad though, seeing as a lot of users see mine and think "Oh cool! I want one!"). I'm taking mine off. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

User:Marth 99

Gnome of Fury — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 18:02:51 GMT

Gnome of Fury: Oops, I had already signed.

Greetings. One and everyone. Welcome to Me! Marth 99!

NEW SECTION TO COME!!!!!

==My Name==
Okay, about my name. I know its not Homestar related, but when I created my own site, I wanted to use this name. However, since I know absolute CRAP about website management, I decided this would have to do.

==Background Info==

Okay here goes. NO ONE I KNOW KNOWS ABOUT THIS PAGE. That's right, nobody. CERTAIN PEOPLE think that Homestar is for kids only and CERTAIN PEOPLE are wrong. CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE think that this site is a waste of time and they are wrong as well. I can do what I want with my life.

Another thing. I will NEVER tell anyone what my real name is. There is a reason why I never put my email address when I registered. I don't want CERTAIN PEOPLE to find this site and ban me from my computer for all of eternity.

I will tell you this though. I am a junior in high school in an American state. I am nearly 17. I am looking to become a very valuable part of the wiki and I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.

==First Time Here==
I was introduced to Homestar by a friend; roughly around 3/6/03 (because [[unused emails]] was the new email). My first toon? [[The Interview]].

I actually only discovered this site recently. I was on Wikipedia for a school assignment, and I thought "lets search for Homestar." Imagine my surprise when I found out there was a whole 'nother website devoted to it!

==Things I'll Probably Do==
I'm not here for major stuff, like creating pages and the like. I'll just wander around the site, watching for what needs to be added. My specialty is the [[Nicknames]] page. I'll also check out the Recent Changes page if there are any talks I can jump into. [[STUFF]] will also be no match for my democratic power of voting. Until then, maybe [[Strong Bad]] will answer one of my emails someday...someday...when all my dreams come TRUUUUUUUUUE!!!!

==History Lesson==
U guys wanna know how long ago 3/6/03 was? Well...
*[[Trogdor]] didn't have a game yet
*[[the show]] came out as a new email
*[[Main Page 17]] was the newest main
*There was no [[Puppet Stuff]]
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] had only 2 episodes
*and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] was still on the site!
*pretty weird huh?

==Favorites==
*Toon: [[Cool Things]]
*Short: [[The Interview]]
*Halloween: [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]
*Decemberween: [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]
*Other Holiday: [[Fall Float Parade]]
*Tandy Email: [[spring cleaning]]
*Compy Email: [[different town]], [[stupid stuff]], and [[theme park]]
*Lappy Email: [[long pants]], [[rock opera]], [[record book]], and [[geddup noise]]
*Game: [[TROGDOR!]]
*Character: depends on mood
*Website: homestarrunner.com

*[[Strong Bad vs. Little Girl]] - At [[Little Girl]]'s request, Strong Bad does his trademark scream.
*Email [[secret recipes]] - Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] scream and run away before [[Coach Z]] "pukes his pants".

Gnome of Fury: signed guestbook

Greetings. One and everyone. Welcome to Me! Marth 99!

NEW SECTION TO COME!!!!!

==My Name==
Okay, about my name. I know its not Homestar related, but when I created my own site, I wanted to use this name. However, since I know absolute CRAP about website management, I decided this would have to do.

==Background Info==

Okay here goes. NO ONE I KNOW KNOWS ABOUT THIS PAGE. That's right, nobody. CERTAIN PEOPLE think that Homestar is for kids only and CERTAIN PEOPLE are wrong. CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE think that this site is a waste of time and they are wrong as well. I can do what I want with my life.

Another thing. I will NEVER tell anyone what my real name is. There is a reason why I never put my email address when I registered. I don't want CERTAIN PEOPLE to find this site and ban me from my computer for all of eternity.

I will tell you this though. I am a junior in high school in an American state. I am nearly 17. I am looking to become a very valuable part of the wiki and I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.

==First Time Here==
I was introduced to Homestar by a friend; roughly around 3/6/03 (because [[unused emails]] was the new email). My first toon? [[The Interview]].

I actually only discovered this site recently. I was on Wikipedia for a school assignment, and I thought "lets search for Homestar." Imagine my surprise when I found out there was a whole 'nother website devoted to it!

==Things I'll Probably Do==
I'm not here for major stuff, like creating pages and the like. I'll just wander around the site, watching for what needs to be added. My specialty is the [[Nicknames]] page. I'll also check out the Recent Changes page if there are any talks I can jump into. [[STUFF]] will also be no match for my democratic power of voting. Until then, maybe [[Strong Bad]] will answer one of my emails someday...someday...when all my dreams come TRUUUUUUUUUE!!!!

==History Lesson==
U guys wanna know how long ago 3/6/03 was? Well...
*[[Trogdor]] didn't have a game yet
*[[the show]] came out as a new email
*[[Main Page 17]] was the newest main
*There was no [[Puppet Stuff]]
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] had only 2 episodes
*and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] was still on the site!
*pretty weird huh?

==Favorites==
*Toon: [[Cool Things]]
*Short: [[The Interview]]
*Halloween: [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]
*Decemberween: [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]
*Other Holiday: [[Fall Float Parade]]
*Tandy Email: [[spring cleaning]]
*Compy Email: [[different town]], [[stupid stuff]], and [[theme park]]
*Lappy Email: [[long pants]], [[rock opera]], [[record book]], and [[geddup noise]]
*Game: [[TROGDOR!]]

Gnome of Fury:

Haldo! Welcome to me. Gnome. Of Fury. Ya. I am a rather large fan of H*R, and joined the wiki a bit ago. Now then...
=Some random crap about me=
'''''Warning: My memory is extremely unphotographic, so whatever I say happened might not have actually happened. You have been warned.'''''
==How I stumbled across H*R==
Well, I was on Wikipedia, another one of my favorite sites, and I was searching for Flash animations. I happened to come across Homestar Runner. I read the Wikipedia article, and it seemed interesting. So I went on the site. I believe the first 'toon I ever saw on the site was [[A Folky Tale]]. About the time of the "hooha down your pants" thing, I knew I was hooked. Then I started exploring the site, and eventually...
==I found the wiki==
I really don't remember how I found this wedsite (sic), but I know it was right before the NSMC thingamajiggerydoodah. The first edit I made was to the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, correcting the number of emails that [[Strong Bad]] had answered. Anyway, a couple days after that or something, the NSMC vandal struck. The next time I went there (mind you, I wasn't a frequent visitor yet) I was horrified to find that fateful message:
----
:'Due to circumstances not under our control, anonymous editing and new user registration has been disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience.''
----
Wha-wha-what??? No anonymous editing? Nooo!! Well, at least I can-- THEY TOOK NEW USER REGISTRATION TOO?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!11oneoneone. Aside from the overreacting, I had to sit idle just looking at the articles, none with my own material. Then, after a while or so, the wiki was open again. Of course, I decided to try registering. All went well, but at the image code, All Went Awry. I hadn't typed in the code correctly.. or at least it said so. Of course, after 384 incorrect type-ins, I was pretty sure there was something wrong. I planned to try again later. 'Course, then I lurked around for a month or two. But now, here I am. I even have a nice little signature, see? {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} That's my nickname, since I'm too lazy to be much more than a [[HrWiki:WikiGnome]]. The end.
==Other stuffs about me==
I attend 6th grade at Mayfield Middle School. I actually skipped a grade (2.5 in mathematics, since I attend Algebra I in a 7th grade classroom). But I'm not going to brag anymore.
===Things I likey===
Homestar Runner (duh), Homestar Runner Wiki (double duh), Wikipedia, um, beef stew. I really don't know. Instead, here are some...
===Things I don't likey===
Unsanitary public restrooms, anime (also known in some [[Old-Timey|1970s-ish]] circles as Japanimation), long movies, children's menus (Ages 5-''12''?? What 12-year-old cares about dumb food-themed characters?), chipping both front teeth in a bicycle accident (yes, it's happened to me), any insect that--no, just any insect, long division (ever heard of a calculator?), coloring, and, ironically, beef stew.
=For any new visitor=
A great way to find stuff you've never seen on H*R:
Go up to the random button on the actual website, click it, and watch whatever pops up. The end.
=Surprise, surprise, it's another frickin' guestbook!=
That's right, guys. Please sign here so that I know that you know that I exist without vandalizing.

#{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:24, 16 January 2006 (UTC) FIRST! YEA! This is the first time I signed first!
#{{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 15:24, 16 January 2006 (UTC) I can sign it on my own!
#[[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]] 15:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC) What is my favorite gnome? Gnome of Fury, The Great Gnome, Tape-Gnome?
#{{User:Kilroy/sig}} 15:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
#[[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 20:00, 16 January 2006 (UTC) My guestbook will get 50 sigs before february, no matter what you say.
#{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC) NO, I'M NOT BACK!
#{{User:Salty/sig}} 01:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC) SIGN'D!
#{{User:The 386/sig}} 14:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Crap. Salty beat me.

Anybody? You know, they might get rid of guestbooks soon, so I would like to get some recognition before that.

Please?

=And finally, thanx to:=
{{User:FireBird/sig}}, for giving me a handy dandy welcome message 
{{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}, for helping me with my almost-awesome sig 
{{User:Teh Frossty One/sig}}, for attempting to help me with my almost-awesome sig

== About Me ==
----
=== A Wikiday Greeting ===

Haldo!

My name's Matthew, but you can call me LePorello. I joined the wiki on December 30 of '05, which was the first day I found out that anonymous editing and new user registration had been re-implanted.

=== How I Got My Username ===

If you have to go here to figure this out, you '''must''' have crap for brains. In [[Ballad of the Sneak]][[Quote of the Week|,]] [[The Sneak]] is called "the [[Strong Man]]'s Leporello." (Sorry, it's not French!)

=== Personal Crap ===

As mentioned above, my name's Matthew. As of my joining date, I'm 14 years old. I'm a big sports enthusiast, among other things. I live in Connecticut (proud home state of ESPN!) and am in eighth grade. I love computer games, which is part of how Homestar came to me.

=== My Introduction to Homestar ===

Sometime in late June/early July of [[The Cheat|']]05 (I'm not sure which, but [[modeling|model]][[bottom 10|i]][[modeling|ng]] was the newest [[Strong Bad Email|SBEmai]][[Trogador|l]] at the time), my friends Jacob, Zach, and Matt told me about the site. I was hooked. My first SBEmail (and the first thing I watched on the site) was [[virus]]. My first game was [[TROGDOR!|TROGDOR]][[japanese cartoon|!]]

The next day, I looked all over for the site. I (embarrassingly) typed in the wrong URL several times before reaching the site. It took me a while to start watching the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough|']][[Toons|toons]]. I only started when, while surfing [http://www.fark.com fark.com], I found [[Cool Things]]. I've been all over the site ever since.

=== My Introduction to the HRWiki ===

I don't know how long I had been on the site for when my sister started playing [[Peasant's Quest]]. She was stumped, so we Googled "peasant's quest walkthrough" and were brought here. I liked the site, so I looked up the URL and have been here ever since. My first edit (in my mind) was the only goof for [[flag day]][[Homestar Presents: Presents|.]] The day I planned to become a user was, however, the first day anonymous editing and new user registration were down. My waiting paid off and I am now a user.

=== My Personal Favorite Homestar Stuff ===

*Fave Present-Day Character - [[Homsar]]
*Fave [[20X6]] Character - [[Stinkoman]]

[[Image:TROGDOR!.PNG|thumb|right|What a mystery.]]
=Me=
Hey there, every peoples. I am Salty, AKA Lappy 486. I'm 13 and a half and live in San Antonio, Texas, USA. I've been a Homestar Runner fan since December 24, 2004, and have seen everything on the site and then some. I've been a wiki fan since like April of this year 2005. The H*R Wiki and H*R are definitely my two favorite wedsites.

=Ok More Yeah=
I make references to Homestar Runner every day. I constantly say "Jorb" and such, I say "You'd better believe it, Chimendez" to people, I say "I sure did", "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", "Right right", and a lot more that I can't remember. Just all the times. Even in that paragraph up there. So yeah.

I have a Trogdor T-Shirt a Homestar Lite shirt, the first set of figurines, and my sister has Homestar Running, a Lil' Brudder shirt, and the second set of figurines.

=My Stuff I did/do=
*I do lotsa [[HRWiki:Wiki Gnome|Gnoming]], you know, fixing errors and adding little facts and crap.
*I vote on the [[STUFF]] page all the time, for almost every fact that gets STUFF'd.
*I'm on the [[HRWiki:Recent changes patrol|Recent Changes Patrol]].
*I did all of the image descriptions on the [[Original Book]] and [[Where My Hat Is At?]]
*I am on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Wecloming Committee]], and have weclomed '''18''' new users.
*I inspired the [[Diapers]] page.
*I've done a lot on the [[Teen Girl Squad]] pages, especially [[Teen Girl Squad Locations]] and some on [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]].
*I like giving sbemails and toons new images, for like, refurbishing, you know? Just to refresh it with a different screenshot.
*I did everything involving the [[Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket]] except two things.
*I created the [[Thyme]] page.

=Favorties=
==Favorite H*R Stuff==
===Fave Character=== My favorite character? I have no clue. Maybe [[The Cheat]], maybe [[Strong Bad]], maybe [[Trogdor]], [[Stinkoman]] is awexome, everything is awesome.

===Fave Toon=== I honestly couldn't say. My two favorite Sbemails are probably the first two I ever saw and have two of my favorite characters, [[dragon]] and [[japanese cartoon]]. I like [[Fall Float Parade]], because Coach Z is awexome in that one. [[rock opera|Rock opera]], is another good one. I dunno.

===Favorite Quotes===
*"BUT COACH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND." —Homestar, Yello Dello
*"AaAah. RaAaAaAah. AaAaAaAaAaah! RaAaAh. Raaerr." —Homsar, Marzipan's Answering Machine 7

*"Hi there, Belindas!" —Senor Cardgage, Senor Mortgage
*"You must be girls." —No "I" In Team Boy, Teen Girl Squad 2
*"Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! No." —Cheerleader, Teen Girl Squad 8

===Favorite Scenes and Visuals===
*In Shopping for Danger when the commandos break into Price Style, Silent Rip falls in in the background.
*In New Boots, when Strong Bad gives The Cheat his picnic plate, it goes a-like "ding!" and Strong Bad smiles.
*Also in New Boots, The Cheat poors hot soup in Homestar's eyes, then dances on his face with crazy music in the background.
*The scene with the Horrible Painting in bottom 10.
*The dance contest in replacement, especially Homestar's part.
*<s>The Trogdor song in dragon.</s>Scratch that, the song in Happy Trogday.
*The way Homestar randomly falls in the death trap in Cool Things.
*The way Strong Bad looks at the viewer in lackey. Also the way the camera follows Doreauxgard when he is being created, and the way puppet Homestar laughs in the Easter Egg.

<div class=usermessage>There are fifteen easter eggs hidden on this page. And you have [[User Talk:Homsarroks|New Messages!]] Whoah. Too much, man. It's just too much...</div>
[[Image:Two_Fez_Homsars.PNG|thumb|Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!]]

<blockquote class="compy email" style="text-align:center>This is my page. If you do not like Homsar, please go. He is awesome, and if you dislike him, you will forever be viewed as evil by my kind. </blockquote>

I love Homsar and Strong Bad. Seriously. They are so cool it hurts.
[[Image:homsar_evolution_current.png|thumb|Sure beats breaking up with him.]]

==Page Creations==

I made [[Strong Bad's Nunchucks|Nunchucks]], [[The Battle of Strongbadia]], and helped work on several others. Well, I didn't really ''make'' nunchucks. I started the article, but it was really Joshua, It's Dot Com, and Has Matt? who worked on it the most.

== Favorite Toons ==

Loves the Strong Bad Emails [[virus]], [[for kids]], [[funny]], [[invisibility]], [[dragon]], [[island]][[Bubs' shotgun|,]] [[japanese cartoon]], and [[origins]]. 
Also enjoys [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]][[Coach Z|,]] [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[Experimental Film]], [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|Halloween Potion-ma]][[User:Salty|-]][[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|jig]], [[Where the Crap are We?]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]][[Neuconsin|.]]

==Favorite Characters==

[[Homsar|HOMSAR!!]][[virus|!]] (obviously), [[Strong Bad]], [[Eh! Steve]], [[The Worm]], [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], [[The Cheat]].

==Least Favorite Character==

Marshie. HE'S A FREAKIN' COMMUNIST!!! Well, not really. I just wanted to say that. Anyway, I just don't like him. At all. Ever. He is weird and frightens children. He doesn't even get a link. If you think that Marshie is awesome, please forgive me. I just think that he's a psychotic mashmallow with a serious inferiority complex. He's a phillistine, a virulent pestulence of death, and has all the likability of a pile of whatsit. Seriously.

== Favorite Games ==
[[Peasant's Quest]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]] (from [[Videlectrix]].com), and [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

== Favorite H*R quotes ==

So you see Claire, if it wasn't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the on point kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. — [[Strong Bad]], origins.

STRONG BAD: Thanks Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi—wait...why do you have a shotgun? What did you do? Where's my Compy?! 
BUBS: It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it! — [[virus]]

STRONG BAD: That's a worthy cause if ever there was one! How about this essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep? 
STRONG MAD: MY SECRET SHAME! — [[Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig|Halloween Potion-Ma]][[User:Salty|-]][[Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig|Jig]]

When I find whoever Red-Buttoned me, I'm gonna go and challenge the crap out of them! — Stinkoman, Stinkoman 20x6, Level 7.1

My left name is "Tremendous Savings," Ms. America! — Senor Cardgage, [[Senorial Day]]

STRONG MAD: CAN I KEEP IT? 
STRONG BAD: No, you can't keep it. Now go put that thing back. 
STRONG MAD: IT FOLLOWED ME HOME!!! 
STRONG BAD: Uh, yeah. That's not true. — [[Fall Float Parade|Fall Float Parad]][[The Battle of Strongbadia|e]]

I cut the crust off in the morning light..[[The Battle of Strongbadia|.]] — Homestar, origins

Computer over? Virus equals very yes?!! That's not a good prize! — Strong Bad, virus

Look, The Cheat is '''behind the freaking box!''' '''He's behind the box!''' '''I'LL KILL YA! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!''' — Strong Bad, [[for kids|for kid]][[Strong Bad's Nunchucks|s]]

Whatever. I'ma go re-nog. — Strong Bad, [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|Decemberween Sweet Cuppin]][[User:Bubsty|']] [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|Cakes]]

I've always preferred being on fire at night. Looks prettier and keeps the butterflies away. — the Innkeeper in [[Peasant's Quest]][[for kids|.]]

Almost anything that Homsar ever said.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>The Halo series is pretty poorly written, but it tells an interesting story. It has a lot of action in it and it tells you about things that you may have been wondering about (what are the Spartans, how did they come to be, what happened after Halo was destroyed, where the Chief came from, etc.). Also, the guy that wrote it has degrees in chemistry and chemical physics, so most of the technology sounds authentic. It is relatively badly written, though (Misplaced dashes and semicolons, awkward phrasing, and other errors decorate the page with notable abundance), so consider yourself warned.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>If you like truly original fantasies that are like nothing you've ever read before but are awesome nonetheless, you ''have'' to read The Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix. It's awesome.

==A random announcement==

I beat Halo last night. I just thought that that was cool.

==Aliases==

I have a page on the Halo wiki (Yes, there is one. Access it here->[[http://www.halopedia.org/]]) under the name of John 117. I also have a page on the regular Wikipedia under Nozzleman and yet another page at Wikiquote under the name of Homsarroks.

==Something random==

I purposely put a typo in my favorite foods section to see if anyone had read it or not. I guess that no one did. Not that I don't blame you. Reading someone's favorite foods can be pretty boring. In fact, I'm not sure why that's even on there. Eh, who cares.

==Yay!==

Sir Strong Bad was kind enough to make me an honorary member of his gang because of my mastery of the fine arts! (Check out Homsar_Old_timey_bandit.PNG for the reason why)

User:Gnome of Fury

Gnome of Fury — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 15:48:48 GMT

Gnome of Fury: They might get rid of guestbooks, so...

Haldo! Welcome to me. Gnome. Of Fury. Ya. I am a rather large fan of H*R, and joined the wiki 2 days ago. Now then...
=Some random crap about me=
'''''Warning: My memory is extremely unphotographic, so whatever I say happened might not have actually happened. You have been warned.'''''
==How I stumbled across H*R==
Well, I was on Wikipedia, another one of my favorite sites, and I was searching for Flash animations. I happened to come across Homestar Runner. I read the Wikipedia article, and it seemed interesting. So I went on the site. I believe the first 'toon I ever saw on the site was [[A Folky Tale]]. About the time of the "hooha down your pants" thing, I knew I was hooked. Then I started exploring the site, and eventually...
==I found the wiki==
I really don't remember how I found this wedsite (sic), but I know it was right before the NSMC thingamajiggerydoodah. The first edit I made was to the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, correcting the number of emails that [[Strong Bad]] had answered. Anyway, a couple days after that or something, the NSMC vandal struck. The next time I went there (mind you, I wasn't a frequent visitor yet) I was horrified to find that fateful message:
----
:'Due to circumstances not under our control, anonymous editing and new user registration has been disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience.''
----
Wha-wha-what??? No anonymous editing? Nooo!! Well, at least I can-- THEY TOOK NEW USER REGISTRATION TOO?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!11oneoneone. Aside from the overreacting, I had to sit idle just looking at the articles, none with my own material. Then, after a while or so, the wiki was open again. Of course, I decided to try registering. All went well, but at the image code, All Went Awry. I hadn't typed in the code correctly.. or at least it said so. Of course, after 384 incorrect type-ins, I was pretty sure there was something wrong. I planned to try again later. 'Course, then I lurked around for a month or two. But now, here I am. I even have a nice little signature, see? {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} That's my nickname, since I'm too lazy to be much more than a [[HrWiki:WikiGnome]]. The end.
==Other stuffs about me==
I attend 6th grade at Mayfield Middle School. I actually skipped a grade (2.5 in mathematics, since I attend Algebra I in a 7th grade classroom). But I'm not going to brag anymore.
===Things I likey===
Homestar Runner (duh), Homestar Runner Wiki (double duh), Wikipedia, um, beef stew. I really don't know. Instead, here are some...
===Things I don't likey===
Unsanitary public restrooms, anime (also known in some [[Old-Timey|1970s-ish]] circles as Japanimation), long movies, children's menus (Ages 5-''12''?? What 12-year-old cares about dumb food-themed characters?), chipping both front teeth in a bicycle accident (yes, it's happened to me), any insect that--no, just any insect, long division (ever heard of a calculator?), coloring, and, ironically, beef stew.
=For any new visitor=
A great way to find stuff you've never seen on H*R:
Go up to the random button on the actual website, click it, and watch whatever pops up. The end.
=Surprise, surprise, it's another frickin' guestbook!=

HRWiki:Validation committee

Gnome of Fury: Was I kidding? I don't know enough about HTML for this crap.

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

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

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

Strong Bad Email

Gnome of Fury — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 21:03:43 GMT

Gnome of Fury: edit... numero 168

[[Image:sbemail_lappy2.png|thumb|Strong Bad checks his email.]]
'''Strong Bad Email''' is the most frequently updated feature of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner website]]. They were originally a small feature introduced in 2001, in which [[Strong Bad]] would mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. Although the animations were initially brief, the responses gradually grew to establish numerous catchphrases, [[Inside Jokes|inside jokes]], and [[Running Gags|running gags]], as well as spin-offs like [[Trogdor]], [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email will also include numerous [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] and other hidden material.

*36½. [[Toons Menu]] (Placing the mouse over Strong Bad Email will bring up a short, soundless email from Stu.)

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays."
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 168 emails as of [[death metal]].
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]" was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the [[Compy 386]].
*Back in the [[Tandy 400]] era, emailing Strong Bad used to result in this automated response:

<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright.

Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

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

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[HR:rando.xml|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the flash file.
*Beginning with [[highschool]], the random.bat feature no longer goes through a roulette of emails.
*Occasionally, Strong Bad takes a while to answer an email from one week to the next. This is recognized at the start of the segment. Examples of this are [[army]] and [[geddup noise]].

== Transcript ==

''{A "SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as we zoom in on it. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{Music plays in the background. A calendar appears for the month of December, with most of the days crossed out in red X's. December 21st and 22nd (Friday and Saturday) become crossed out, then the camera zooms in on Sunday the 23rd. A title appears: "A new Homestar cartoon written and animated by the Brethren Chaps." This title is crossed out with a red X, and the camera pans to Monday the 24th. Another title appears: "Voices by Matt C. and Missy P." This title is then crossed out, and the camera pans to Tuesday the 25th, which is already labeled "Decemberween". This day is circled in red, and additional words appear, making the title read: "The Best Decemberween Ever". Fade out.}''

''{Fade in to Homestar's house, where it is snowing outside. The background music continues to play. Homestar walks out of his house wearing a brown hunter's hat. He walks a short distance and behind a brick wall, stopping next to Strong Sad, who is leaning on the wall. The music slowly fades out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sighs twice, with his breath visible. A long pause, and then he sighs again.}''

''' STRONG SAD:''' What's the matter, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Surprised}'' Oh! Strong Sad! I can't decide what to get Strong Bad for Decemberween.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... What do you mean?

''{Cut to a wide shot with Homestar and Strong Sad silhouetted.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I know he's kind of a jerk sometimes, and he says "holy crap" a lot, but I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? People get presents for Decemberween? I always just get locked in the bathtub!

''{Cut to the original shot of both characters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Right. Uh... I gotta go. ''{Homestar dashes off, temporarily leaving a cloud shaped like himself behind.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z and Homestar walking in front of some trees. The trees have signs on them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, Homestar, I'll tell ya. Buying a Decemberween present for Strong Bad is like a great sports play.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me guess. I can't just rush into the score zone.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{stops and turns around}'' Hey, that's right!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{frustrated}'' Coach! That's your answer for everything!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. ''{pauses, then holds up a bottle of blue mouthwash}'' Mouthwarsh? ''{begins gulping mouthwash down}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Marzipan in her house. Marzipan is wearing a green dress instead of her normal purple dress, and she is drawing protest signs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and then he said it was like a great sports play. And I didn't even think that applies to this situation.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's great, Homestar. ''{starts writing on a blank sign: "DEC"}'' Why don't you just get him a shirt? He doesn't seem to have very many of those.

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm pretty sure he enjoys going topless.

''{The camera zooms back out.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you could get him a sponge, or a Jew's harp, or you could make some him some Chex party mix... ''{by now, she has written "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, those are terrible ideas.

''{Zoom in to Homestar's face again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Like, I don't even want to see what you got me this year. ''{chuckles}''

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{turning to Homestar angrily}'' Why don't you go bother somebody else?!

''{She drops her completed sign. Cut back to the original shot of Homestar and Marzipan. The new sign reads: "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now that's a good idea!

''{The background music starts up again. Cut to a silhouette of Homestar walking among some trees, which sway back and forth in the wind. Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, which has lights and holiday decorations all over it. Homestar walks up.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, Homestar, what can I do for you on this fine holiday?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't find a freakin' present for Strong Bad.

'''BUBS:''' Well, you know what Coach Z says...

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed, and leaning back}'' Yes, I know! I know!

''{Zoom back out.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, well, take a look around. I got all types of crazy crap!

''{Zoom in on Homestar again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a NES cartridge: "Tag Team Wrestling"}'' No... ''{tosses it away, holds up a pair of gold, sparkling oven mitts with "SB" written in cursive letters}'' No... ''{tosses the gloves away, pulls out a Strong Sad voodoo doll with pins sticking out of it}'' Uh, are you allowed to sell this? ''{tosses the doll away, holds up a "Frampton Comes Alive" poster with an autograph addressed to Strong Bad}'' No...

''{Cut to a silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand as seen from the side. The items Homestar discarded are laying in a pile behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a rectangular object}'' That's it! This is the perfect present!

''{Cut to a field with snow-covered trees in the background. The camera pans right to show several of the characters opening or exchanging gifts. Strong Mad and The Cheat are the first to appear. The Cheat opens a gift and his head explodes. Marzipan pans into the shot, followed by Coach Z in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opens her gift, a Coach Z scratch n' sniff 2002 calendar}'' Coach Z, this is nasty.

'''COACH Z:''' That's okay. Smell Orctober!

''{Camera continues panning, revealing Strong Bad and Pom Pom, and Homestar standing in the foreground. Strong Bad is wearing yellow earmuffs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up his gift and shakes it}'' Okay, let's see what we got from Homestar here...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Open it! Open it! That one's from me. It took me forever to pick it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opens his gift, which turns out to be a ''[[imdb:tt0120647|Deep Impact]]'' DVD}'' What?! The ''Deep Impact'' DVD?! You got me this for like the last three years, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! And you liked it so much, I decided to get it for you again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! This is the worst Decemberween ever!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is the best Decemberween ever!

''{Cut to black, then fade back in to the field. All of the main characters except Strong Sad and Homsar are gathered together.}''

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH and POM POM:''' ''{Singing to the tune of [[Wikipedia:O Tannenbaum|"O Christmas Tree"]]}'' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween.

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' With bunnies running for their lives,

''{Pan left to The King of Town}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{holding up a bunny on a plate}'' I wish this one was super-sized!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH and POM POM:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to Strong Sad entering from the right}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What are you guys talking about?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{moves in front of Strong Sad}'' Hey, who the crap let Strong Sad out?

''{Cut back out to the group shot.}''

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH and POM POM:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' I've got all types of crazy crap!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enters the shot from the right}'' I bought Strong Bad a ''Deep Impact''!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH and POM POM:''' Decemberween, Decemberween

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z's been drinking Listerine!

''{Music cuts out with a record scratch as Coach Z wobbles and falls face first into the snow. Fade to black.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Homestar is talking to Bubs at his concession stand, you can remove some of the Christmas lights and move them around just as in the [[Astro Lite]] game! To help do this, pause the toon by right-clicking and unchecking play.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Jew's harp|Jew's harp]] is an ancient Eurasian instrument, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp. Some believe it is called a 'juice harp' because the sound of the words 'juice' and 'jews' are similar. It should also be noted that some people consider the term Jew's harp offensive, and that the alternatives are generally preferred.

===Trivia===
*This toon marks the start of Strong Sad's voice becoming more "delicate," though some of his "fatigued" voice still remains at this time.
*The signs on the trees are as follows:
**3% APR!!!
**The Decemberator 2000
**Zero Down!
**[[Cheap as Free]]
**buy me! i'm awesome
**No you're not. I am.
*Marzipan's protest signs are as follows:
**DOWN WITH D'WEEN! ''(two signs)''
**I THINK IT'S TOO COMMERCIALIZED! ''(two signs)''
**DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES
*The signs at Bubs' Concession Stand are:
**Concessions By Bubs
**ALL TYPES OF CRAZY CRAP
**WE "GOT" THE GOODS
**decem-berween stuff
*Among the items Homestar finds at Bubs' is a copy of the NES game ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]''. The game's teams were called "The Ricky Fighters" and "The Strong Bads". Evidently, this game is where Strong Bad got his name.
*The Peter Frampton poster Homestar finds at the concession stand reads "Frampton Comes Alive!", and is autographed: "To: Strong Bad, Best Wishes! – P.F."
*This is the first cartoon where [[Decemberween]] is mentioned by its real name.

===Remarks===
*[[A Holiday Greeting]] had the same page title, as well as the same intro and loading screen.
*This cartoon seems to have been made during a transitionary period of sorts: The animation is of the most recent style, but the voices are the type that are associated more with the previous style. Notice, for instance, Homestar's pronunciation of "Strong Bad". Also, Bubs' Concession stand still has its old "Concessions by Bubs" sign, like from [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Note Homestar's line about Strong Bad. "I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again." This suggests that, like Strong Sad, Strong Bad used to be friends with Homestar, or at least tolerate him.
*The calendar at the beginning of the toon only shows 29 days in the month.

===Goofs===
*Strong Sad has no arms while he is singing.
*During the singing, if you listen closely, you can hear little the Cheat squeaks. But the Cheat doesn't move.
*When Coach Z and Homestar stop, the "Buy me, I'm awesome" sign on the Christmas tree is covering up a little bit of the tree in front of it.
*Though Strong Sad walks in during the song, he does not appear in the main group shot. Also, Strong Bad snaps back to his original position in the group shot after having moved to block Strong Sad's view.

===Inside References===
*The oven mitts are a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], as is Coach Z's quote regarding the "great sports play".

===Real-World References===
*The introduction, with the spinning Special logo and sound effect, is a reference to the logo and sound that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video/cbsspecial1987.rm here] (this requires RealPlayer to view). This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]].
*The beginning of the toon contains many references to the [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|"Peanuts"]] cartoons by Charles Schulz, such as Homestar wearing a winter hat, similar to Charlie Brown's hat in "A Charlie Brown Christmas," and walking out of a house and along the low brick wall, Homestar sighing, along with the way Strong Sad's arms are drawn. Strong Sad plays the part of Linus and Homestar plays the part of Charlie Brown. It also pays homage at the end, when all the cast gets together and sings a song (which the Peanuts always did in their holiday specials). This ''may'' in fact be well-deserved kudos to the then-recently deceased Charles Schulz.
*The page title refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison Bakery]], a sponsor of various cartoon specials on CBS -- including Peanuts -- throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
*The title of this 'toon is based on the book, [[Wikipedia:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"]], by [[Wikipedia:Barbara Robinson|Barbara Robinson]]. The plot has nothing in common except for the holiday theme, of course.
*[[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head exploding]] when he opened a present is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]], in which [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Jokey (aka Prisoner)|Jokey Smurf]] would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] (Coach Z's "mouthwarsh") is an over-the-counter mouthwash created by [[Wikipedia:Pfizer|Pfizer Inc.]] With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine, as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the effects of the alcohol could take effect.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Sad getting locked in the bathtub, as mentioned in this toon, is later seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Gnome of Fury: joined the committee

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

User:Marth 99

Gnome of Fury — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 16:15:51 GMT

Gnome of Fury:

Greetings. One and everyone. Welcome to Me! Marth 99!

==My Name==
Okay, about my name. I know its not Homestar related, but when I created my own site, I wanted to use this name. However, since I know absolute CRAP about website management, I decided this would have to do.

==Background Info==

Okay here goes. NO ONE I KNOW KNOWS ABOUT THIS PAGE. That's right, nobody. CERTAIN PEOPLE think that Homestar is for kids only and CERTAIN PEOPLE are wrong. CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE think that this site is a waste of time and they are wrong as well. I can do what I want with my life.

Another thing. I will NEVER tell anyone what my real name is. There is a reason why I never put my email address when I registered. I don't want CERTAIN PEOPLE to find this site and ban me from my computer for all of eternity.

I will tell you this though. I am a junior in high school in an American state. I am nearly 17. I am looking to become a very valuable part of the wiki and I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.

==First Time Here==
I was introduced to Homestar by a friend; roughly around 3/6/03 (because [[unused emails]] was the new email). My first toon? [[The Interview]].

I actually only discovered this site recently. I was on Wikipedia for a school assignment, and I thought "lets search for Homestar." Imagine my surprise when I found out there was a whole 'nother website devoted to it!

==Things I'll Probably Do==
I'm not here for major stuff, like creating pages and the like. I'll just wander around the site, watching for what needs to be added. My specialty is the [[Nicknames]] page. I'll also check out the Recent Changes page if there are any talks I can jump into. Until then, maybe [[Strong Bad]] will answer one of my emails someday...someday...when all my dreams come TRUUUUUUUUUE!!!!

==History Lesson==
U guys wanna know how long ago 3/6/03 was? Well...
*[[Trogdor]] didn't have a game yet
*[[the show]] came out as a new email
*[[Main Page 17]] was the newest main
*There was no [[Puppet Stuff]]
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] had only 2 episodes
*and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] was still on the site!
*pretty weird huh?

==Favorites==
*Toon: [[Cool Things]]
*Short: [[The Interview]]
*Halloween: [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]
*Decemberween: [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]
*Other Holiday: [[Fall Float Parade]]
*Tandy Email: [[spring cleaning]]
*Compy Email: [[different town]], [[stupid stuff]], and [[theme park]]
*Lappy Email: [[long pants]], [[rock opera]], [[record book]], and [[geddup noise]]
*Game: [[TROGDOR!]]
*Character: depends on mood
*Website: homestarrunner.com

*Email [[sibbie]] - He screams and destroys Homestar's boombox after hearing two songs he never intended on creating on it.
*Email [[virus]] - Strong Bad actually screams twice. Once when the Homestar popups appear, and once again after he learns that [[Bubs]] shot his [[Compy 386|computer]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|The King of Town}}, [[Unseen Characters|Łukasz]]

'''Places:''' [[Marzipan's House]]

'''Date:''' August 23, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 3:16

'''Page Title:''' Marzipan's Answering Machine

== Transcript ==
=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, this is Marzipan. I'm out expanding my horizons. Leave me a message.

=== Message 5 ===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Good afternoon, Marzipan. My name is Bob ''{slight pause}'' Statesman. I'm running for Elected Official this Tuesday. I'm calling to garner your vote. I support all the issues: save the animals, move the ocean over there, just like you. We are currently accepting campaign donations to support our cause against runoff camdidate  uh... Cory. In order to beat this guy, we need the contributions of s-constituents  like you. We accept donations in the form of cash, all varieties of cupped cakes, and hard rock albums on cassette. As always, please put your donations in a cardboard box and leave it at the street. ''{regular voice}'' And really do it this time! ''{Bob Statesman voice}'' I mean, I've never called you before to ask for anything... ''{regular voice}'' but seriously... put some stuff in the street!

=== Message 4 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey Marzipan, this is ''{slight pause}'' something funny. Whatever. This is Homestar. What is a seven letter word for thirteen across? And it starts... with... a five. I mean... an "S". I mean... there's not a letter there yet. Marzipan? Nothing? The old cold shoulder, eh? Okay, then how about... a four letters  word for censoring a cuss word? ''{Beep}'' Hey! That's it! Beep! Thanks for your help, you old broom stick!

=== Message 3 ===
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{loudly}'' BOOOOP! BOOOOP! BOOOOP! This is a napkin alert, Marzipan! I've lost uhmm-my napkin! It's the one I always use when I eat buffalo wings, and I can't find it anywhere. Now, it answers to the name, "The Flamingo". So if you've seen it, please have it give me a call. I've got like, fifty frickin' wings sittin' here! I can't eat these things without The Flamingo! ''{normal volume}'' Um... sorry for... the loud talkin'. This is the KoT... in the place to be.

=== Message 2 ===
'''ŁUKASZ:''' Cześć, Marzipan! To jest Łukasz. Czy masz ochotę na lody? Proszę zadzwonić do mnie. Będę w domu, jak zwykle.
''{Hi, Marzipan! This is Łukasz. Would you like to go for an ice cream? Please phone me. I'll be at home, as usual.}''

=== Message 1 ===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Marzipan, this is Strong Bad, look I just wanted to thank you for actually putting that stuff out in your front yard! Er, I mean thank you on behalf of Senator Statesbob. I mean, that old hamster cage? That thing's going to melt up ''real'' nice! And, like, those Bobbsey Twins books? More like the Hot-b-sey Twins! I'm not sure why you wrote "United Way" on the side of the box, unless you were referring to the united way in which Senator Bobblehead is going to win the election! Huzzah! Anyways, I had nothing to do with that fax machine that's on fire in your front yard. Bye!

== Easter Eggs ==
*After the final message, press the tape deck for a message from Some Other Guy With An Accent.
:'''SOME GUY:''' Shouchlav, Marzipan. Shouchlav. This is olslav, asleplav, aspirino, Shouchlav.

==Fun Facts==
===Inside References===
*The King's line "In the place to be" may be a reference to [[Strong Bad Sings]].
*The Polish man speaking in message 2 is the voice of Dan Cubus, a friend of [[The Brothers Chaps]]. He also provided a Polish translation in [[other days]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar again thinks Marzipan is a broom in [[long pants]].

Gnome of Fury: another frickin' guestbook...

Haldo! Welcome to me. Gnome. Of Fury. Ya. I am a rather large fan of H*R, and joined the wiki 2 days ago. Now then...
=Some random crap about me=
'''''Warning: My memory is extremely unphotographic, so whatever I say happened might not have actually happened. You have been warned.'''''
==How I stumbled across H*R==
Well, I was on Wikipedia, another one of my favorite sites, and I was searching for Flash animations. I happened to come across Homestar Runner. I read the Wikipedia article, and it seemed interesting. So I went on the site. I believe the first 'toon I ever saw on the site was [[A Folky Tale]]. About the time of the "hooha down your pants" thing, I knew I was hooked. Then I started exploring the site, and eventually...
==I found the wiki==
I really don't remember how I found this wedsite (sic), but I know it was right before the NSMC thingamajiggerydoodah. The first edit I made was to the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, correcting the number of emails that [[Strong Bad]] had answered. Anyway, a couple days after that or something, the NSMC vandal struck. The next time I went there (mind you, I wasn't a frequent visitor yet) I was horrified to find that fateful message:
----
:'Due to circumstances not under our control, anonymous editing and new user registration has been disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience.''
----
Wha-wha-what??? No anonymous editing? Nooo!! Well, at least I can-- THEY TOOK NEW USER REGISTRATION TOO?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!11oneoneone. Aside from the overreacting, I had to sit idle just looking at the articles, none with my own material. Then, after a while or so, the wiki was open again. Of course, I decided to try registering. All went well, but at the image code, All Went Awry. I hadn't typed in the code correctly.. or at least it said so. Of course, after 384 incorrect type-ins, I was pretty sure there was something wrong. I planned to try again later. 'Course, then I lurked around for a month or two. But now, here I am. I even have a nice little signature, see? {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} That's my nickname, since I'm too lazy to be much more than a [[HrWiki:WikiGnome]]. The end.
==Other stuffs about me==
I attend 6th grade at Mayfield Middle School. I actually skipped a grade (2.5 in mathematics, since I attend Algebra I in a 7th grade classroom). But I'm not going to brag anymore.
===Things I likey===
Homestar Runner (duh), Homestar Runner Wiki (double duh), Wikipedia, um, beef stew. I really don't know. Instead, here are some...
===Things I don't likey===
Unsanitary public restrooms, anime (also known in some [[Old-Timey|1970s-ish]] circles as Japanimation), long movies, children's menus (Ages 5-''12''?? What 12-year-old cares about dumb food-themed characters?), chipping both front teeth in a bicycle accident (yes, it's happened to me), any insect that--no, just any insect, long division (ever heard of a calculator?), coloring, and, ironically, beef stew.
=For any new visitor=
A great way to find stuff you've never seen on H*R:
Go up to the random button on the actual website, click it, and watch whatever pops up. The end.
=Surprise, surprise, it's another frickin' guestbook!=
That's right, guys. Please sign here so that I know that you know that I exist without vandalizing.

Anybody?
=And finally, thanx to:=
{{User:FireBird/sig}}, for giving me a handy dandy welcome message 
{{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}, for helping me with my almost-awesome sig 
{{User:Teh Frossty One/sig}}, for attempting to help me with my almost-awesome sig 
{{User:The thing/sig}}, for the same reason as Teh Frossty One
=And that's the end of my show, donk.=

Talk:Ballad of The Sneak

Gnome of Fury — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 15:12:15 GMT

Gnome of Fury: DVD version

As regards [[The Kaiser]], could this also be a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Wilhelm Kaiser Wilhelm II]?

:I don't think so. TBC just used The Kaiser as a title for a "kingly" person. Kaiser is (or was) a fairly common term for a ruler. It's not a reference. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 23:42, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Are we sure it's "flapper girls" and not "clever girls"? "Flapper" would be the obvious historical reference, but the word sounds more like "clever" to me, and "flapper girl" seems redundant - I've not researched this point, but I've always understood "flapper" stood on its own, without needing to be a modifier for "girl".

:I listened to it really closely and it sounds like "flapper" to me. [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

:I always here "clever". {{User:Salty/sig}} 07:03, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

== flying machine? I herd spying machine. ==

flying machine sounded like spying machine. anyone else agree?--{{User:Benol/sig}} 07:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
:it's flying machine. it makes sense because the homestar runner is injured, probably because he fell out of his flying machine. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 19:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

== DVD version ==

Why is it taking so long to get the commentary for the DVD? {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 15:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Strong Bad's Vacation Spots

Gnome of Fury — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 14:27:35 GMT

Gnome of Fury:

These are the places [[Strong Bad]] went to in his [[vacation]] [[Strong Bad Email|email]].

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Name !! Description !! Image
|-
| The Great Mound
|| '''The Great Mound''' is the first of the five places Strong Bad visited on his vacation. Its claim to fame it that it's bigger than that mound in Ohio (probably referencing Serpent Mound). According to Strong Bad, the mound isn't actually that great, and only old ladies hang out there.
||[[Image:moundpic.PNG|300px|Not so great]]
|-
| Downtown Pantsburg
||'''Downtown Pantsburg''' is the second of the five places Strong Bad visited on his vacation. It claims to be fabulous, but Strong Bad believes otherwise. It has a bike welded to a little house. Strong Bad hung out with some guys here, but admits he will probably never see them again.

[[Limozeen]] visited Pantsburg during their [[Limozeen#Zeenin.27_Across_the_Country_2001|Zeenin' Across the Country tour]].
||[[Image:pantsburg.PNG|300px|They don't even let you ride that bike]]
|-
| That Clock
|| '''That Clock''' is a simple clock. There's not much to say about it. It's stuck at 2:55, the same in the postcard.
||[[Image:sbemail40.PNG|300px|The Clock is broken, but it is still awesome.]]
|-
| Two Cars, Tennessee
|| '''Two Cars, Tennessee''' is the fourth of the five places Strong Bad visited on his vacation. Strong Bad doesn't tell us much about this place other than it has a "real happenin' arts and crafts scene".
||[[Image:twocars.PNG|300px|Highly recommended]]
|-
| Historic Over There
|| '''Historic Over There''' is the last of the five places Strong Bad visited on his vacation. The entire place is colored in different shades of tan; even the sky is tan. There appears to be nothing but antique stores here, along with [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|one guy]] who does caricatures. There is a noticeable lack of restaurants, and Strong Bad suspects the citizens here eat antiques.

HRWiki:Welcoming committee

Gnome of Fury — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 14:19:08 GMT

Gnome of Fury: joined

Welcome to the Welcoming Committee of the [[Main Page|Homestar Runner Wiki]].

== Who We Are ==
The welcoming committee is a group of people who kindly greet new users and help them get started (if needed). If you want to help out, the most obvious thing you can do is post welcome messages and be friendly and helpful with new users you meet. The easiest way to identify new users is from the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] list. The new user's username or talk page will be red because they haven't been created, yet. Once you're on the user page, you can click "User contributions" on the sidebar to see how many edits they've done. Also be sure to check the history of the talk page to verify that no one has already welcomed them (they may have deleted the first welcome message).

Note that joining the committee confers neither responsibilities nor privileges, but members are expected to do some welcoming — we don't want to simply clutter up this page with member names.

You should also have a basic technical understanding of the wiki so that you can answer any questions an inexperienced user might have.

== Don't Bite ==
''"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."'' -[[Wikipedia:Hanlon's Razor|Hanlon's Razor]]

The [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Welcoming Committee|Wikipedia Welcoming Committee]], in their "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|Please do not bite the newcomers]]" page, wrote:
<blockquote>...Behavior that may appear malicious to experienced Wikipedians is more likely due to ignorance of our expectations and rules. Even if you're '''100% sure''' that someone is a ''worthless, no-good, low-down scum-sucking Internet troll,'' vandal, or worse; ''comport yourself as if they're not.'' By being forgiving, instructive, and respectful, you come away with much more dignity, and you reflect well on our project.</blockquote>

Basically, just don't get frustrated if a newcomer or some IP makes a mistake- let it slide and give him a friendly note telling them what they did.

== Standards for Welcoming ==

A good welcome message should be around the lines of this [[Template:welcome|template]]:

{{welcome|(your signature)|(timestamp)}}

----

To use the template, type "<code><nowiki>{{subst:welcome|~~~|~~~~~}}</nowiki></code>", which will automatically include your signature and a timestamp. (Typing <tt>subst</tt> before the name of the template tells the system to copy a static version of the template to the page.)

----

Be as kind and welcoming as possible and answer any questions they might have.

When creating your own personal template, you don't have to follow the original layout exactly. You can rearrange it and reword it, but please include the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide], [[HRWiki:Standards]], [[HRWiki:FAQ]] and [[Help:Editing]] pages within the text. Like the general welcome template, be sure to use the <code>subst:</code> command to substitute, rather than link, your template on a user's talk page.

Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2

Gnome of Fury — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 00:16:04 GMT

Gnome of Fury: added pronounciation thingimajiggerydoodah

[[Image:MarzipanAnsweringMachineV9.png|thumb|"None will be the wiser!"]]

Marzipan has a new answering machine in this version: the [[PhoneTime XL8]]! The King of Town has an important question, Strong Bad tries to scam free cable, Coach Z is sketchier than usual, the secret ingredient of tofu is revealed, and Homestar mistakenly breaks up with Marzipan, resulting in a ridiculous switching act.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|The King of Town}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}

'''Places:''' [[Marzipan's House]]

'''Date:''' December 1, 2003

'''Page Title:''' Marzipan's Answering Machine

== Transcript ==
=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, this is M-A-R-Z-I-P-A-N. Please leave me a message after the B-E-E-P. ''{beep}''

=== Message 6 ===
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{panicked}'' Hello Marzipan, it's the King of Town! Look, I ''need'' to know if it's still Thanksgiving. Um, I really, ''really'' need it to still be Thanksgiving. Like, I fear for my personal safety, if it's not Thanksgiving still. And if not... then, is it next Thanksgiving yet? Okay, if you could get back to me as soon as possible that'd be great.

=== Message 5 ===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Good mornin', Marzipan. This is your cable man... uh, Cableman Jorge [''pronounces Jorge 'hhh-Horhay' '']. Just calling you regarding your service. We need you to do a little routine maintenance on it, so go ahead and buy, like, a hundred-foot spool of coaxial cable and, run it off your cable box and out the window and... give it a toss in the general direction of Strong Bad's house. And while you're at it, you may want to go ahead and upgrade to the premium package which includes all the pay channels... and the Olympic triplecast. So... get that done for us, we'll be- we'll be much obliged. Tenderly, I remain... Cableman Jorge.

=== Message 4 ===
'''COACH Z:''' Hey there, Marzipan. It's the lyrical wondermind, Coach Z. Calling to ask you if, uh, you seen one of my discotapes... I think I left over dere. Uh, it's one of my most favorite discotapes, and I'd really like it back so, I'm gonna come... I'm just gonna head on over there, uh, and if you're not there I'll just let myself in da crack in the window like I usually do... I mean... not... I never do, because I've never snuck into your house before. I mean, who's sneakin'? Over here? Nobody. I'm creepin'. ''{pause}'' Have you tried these new crazy curly fries? I mean, they're crazy! It's like a french fry, but it's all curled up into a curlied-Q!!

=== Message 3 ===
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eating something}'' Oh... hey Marzipan. This is that guy Strong Bad. Um... so I was just reading on my Internet... about how tofu is made from little baby seals. Yeah. So like, all this time, you've been eatin', um, little baby seals. So what? I guess you're gonna keel over, at like, any second now at the thought of all these little baby seals running around in your stomach. I mean, that's just gross. Just plain old gross. So in conclusion... you should listen to your cable man. ''{crunching noises}''

=== Message 2 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' So I just got this message you left for me on Pom Pom's cell phone telling me to go away and pick up sticks. Well I think that is GARBAGE, sister! Having to put up with you is like.. having to put up with GARBAGE! I don't know where you get off, but it's definitely not at the Homestar Station anymore. Looks like you're riding the 7:30 Alone train to ALONEVILLE. Making stops at Ex-Girlfriend Junction and West BREAKIN' UP WITH YOU! Oh, and you can ''keep'' the collector's plates!

=== Message 1 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, so after a ''second'' listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, it appears that you were asking me to go to Richway and pick up some Hefty bags, not to go away and pick up sticks. And, now that I think about it, I don't really know what that would have meant even if you ''had'' said that. So, best thing to do is... to go back and not listen to that message, and then we've got nothing to worry about. Oh, wait... in fact... ''{makes backwards sounding noises}'' Okay, there. I think I reversed it.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? What do you ''mean'' that doesn't work? Oh, crap. ''{runs to Marzipan's house with a tape full of fake messages}'' All's I gotta do is switch out the tapes, and none will be the wiser!

=== Fake Greeting ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{doing a poor imitation of Marzipan}'' Oh, hey, this is Marzipan... and, uhm... leave a message after my beeps. Beep.

=== Fake Message 4 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{doing a poor imitation of Strong Bad}'' Oh, hey, Marzipan. This is the Strong Baad. Uh... go around... go around with doo doo on your head.. 'cause it could be funny. Okay, bye. Beep!

=== Fake Message 3 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{doing a poor imitation of Coach Z with no accent}'' Hey there, Marzipan. This is Coach Z. I was just wonderin' why you weren't at field hockey practice today. Um... great job. Oh, I mean... great ''job''. Oh, I mean... great job. Boop!

=== Fake Message 2 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{doing a poor imitation of himself}'' Hey there, Marzipan, this is your boyfriend, Homestar Runner. You're the best girlfriend I ever had. Let's have a marriage. Let's have a marriage license. Okay, bye. Boop!

=== Fake Message 1 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a depressed tone of Strong Sad}'' Oh, hey Marzipan this is Strong Sad. Um... some animal died. Boop!

== Fun Facts ==
===Inside References===
*Homestar also used the phrase "some animal died" for his [[Strong Sad]] impression in the [[impression]] email.
*Homestar's fake Coach Z is a reference to the toon "[[A Jorb Well Done]]". Of course, Homestar's speech impediment means he still says "job" as opposed to "jorb".

===Real-World References===
*Richway was a discount store in the Atlanta area, where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.
*The "Olympic Triplecast" was a failed pay-per-view experiment by [[Wikipedia:National Broadcasting Company|NBC]] in 1992 that had three channels carrying Olympic Events from Barcelona during the [[Wikipedia:Games of the XXV Olympiad|Summer Olympics]] that year.

Gnome of Fury: guestbook

== Attention! Am I like the ONLY person who still does the Recent Changes Patrol? DO YOUR JOBS, PEOPLE!! ==

== Another attention! I have now changed the deadline for 50 signatures to February 1st. Please, if you read this, sign my guestbook. ==

== Overview ==

Guys, I hope you all know I rock. 'Cause you really need to.

Anyway, my name is Willis Periwinkle. I've seen every cartoon on Homestar Runner, and I can safely say I've seen most more than twice. I found out Hrwiki.org a while ago when I typed in Homsar.com to see what happened. The result was a boring website, but one that led me to Hrwiki.org. I thought the idea was a clever one and soon I went on the website regularly. now I always check Hrwiki.org before going to Homestarrunner.com. I didn't actually know what easter eggs were before going here. You can't imagine the amount of toons I had to see all over again. Ah well. T'was fun to see them again anyway.

== How I discovered Homestar Runner ==
Well, I actually learned about it in 2003, when my friend Marcus wore a Trogdor hoodie to school. He loved the website but I thought it sounded wierd and refused to check it out. When I moved to my new school, my friend Aidan started talking about it, and I knew I must check it out now. When I did, it became the most frequently visited website on my computer. Score.

== My favorites ==

I don't have any favorites. the toons are like my children, I love them all!

== So, who the heck is this guy?! ==

Well, I rock. That's all you really need to know. I told you that before, and I'm not happy to tell you again. That just really annoys me.

== Why the heck does this annoying jerk stay on such a cool website? ==
Because he has no friends. Kidding.

== Why the heck does this guy use so many headlines? ==

== Because he feels like it. So there. ==

== Things i'm proud of ==
well, I am not at all proud of this, but I ended up becoming a temporary troll. I was rewording something on the king of town new version, and when I came back, it had been deleted. I made it again. When I came back (just in case) it was deleted again. I got really mad and edited it so it said to stop editing, whoever ahole it was. I was subsequently blocked by firebird. Ah well. firebird, wherever you are, I apoligize. I don't have an anger problem, I have a stupidity and arrogance problem.

I also managed to revert the first pages that NSMC corrupted. No I didn't. I just wish I did.

I edit primarily on STUFF pages, and I like to think that I write valuable insights, though I doubt it.

== Anything else you want to know about? ==
Email me at willdude630@yahoo.com. And my im is willisperiwinkle at aim.

== Thanks to... ==
Thunderbird, Abdiviklas, Joeyday, Bubsty, Its dot com, and all other sysops. (Note: all of these people are just people i consider cool.)

== Anyone wanna sign my guestbook? ==

In another reference to my amazing admiration for the geeks behind this website, I made a guestbook too. Please? Thanks, everyone! I need 50 signatures before February. ReadysetGO!

Yeah, I hope my guestbook will be this long.

== My aspirations for the future of wikidom ==
I hope to be nominated as a sysop next year. I know this will never happen, but I still wish it would. Then I could hang out with cool people like Joeyday and Thunderbird. Oh, and Grapenuts. That cereal is a-prettypretty good! Yeah, I could totally replace him as a sysop. I mean, a robot?! Oh, wait. I couldn't. If that thing had a brain, it'd have twice the iq of me. Ah well.

I also hope to fight the next NSMC kinda vandal, if ever there was one. This time, I actually know how to revert edits, and I might actually help when the next big vandal comes!

Finally, I hope to be the user most linked to pages. That'd be awesome.

== Coolest person of the week==

== cool people ==
note that these are all cool people, but only a few have been my coolest person of the week.
trendy totebag,
it's dot com,

HRWiki talk:Welcoming committee

Gnome of Fury — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 23:49:26 GMT

Gnome of Fury: Can I join?

Interesting. Some links you may want to include in your welcomings:
*[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide]
*[[HRWiki:Standards]]
*[[HRWiki:FAQ]]
[[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

Hang on, on Ye Olde Wiki I said something like "if you have any questions, feel free to ask me" and I ended up removing that because that's what the help desk was for. So, how is this any different? Couldn't we just leave the aforementioned part off, or am I missing something? Is there like no help desk here or something?--[[User:DeLoreanz1|DeLoreanz1]] 12:10, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Yes, there is a [[Help:Contents|Help Desk]], but they can ask anyone. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'

AIEEEE! I didn't realize I wasn't logged in!!!

[[User:Homsar999|IP address that belongs to Homsar999]]

:Is there a reason, Homsar999, you put this here? Please keep these things on your user space. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'

== Cookie-cutter welcome statements? ==

Is there a reason for specifying that we should only use the provided welcome messages? I've always felt that a welcome should be personalized. I realize there's a need for some standardization in our welcoming efforts. Perhaps there should be a standard set of links that must be included in a proper welcome, but beyond that I think it should be up to the committee members to provide a warm and welcoming message. Does this make sense? [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 11:33, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, I fixed this. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'

== Joining; Alphabetising ==

How do I join? Also, is it OK for me to alphabetise the list of welcomers? [[User:woddfellow2|<nowiki></nowiki>]]-<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 02:02, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)
:You just have to sign your name to the list to join. And the list is chronological.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:22, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)
::OK, I'll join now. [[User:woddfellow2|<nowiki></nowiki>]]-<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 14:40, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Joining/template ==

I am joining and adding a template! Typing <nowiki>{{Welcome}}</nowiki> now displays
{{Welcome}}

--[[User:firefoxman|→[[User:firefoxman|FireFox Man]]</tt>'']]]] 11:32, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Part my what? ==

Uh... okay, I'm not looking to insult him, but is pertmywert really Welcoming Committee material? So far, the only thing even close to a relevant page that he's ever updated is [[Talk:Anonymous]], where his comment was pointless, and [[Graffiti Wall]], where he added wrong info. Plus, of the three people he's attempted to Welcome, two have been around longer than he has! And his message is horribly misspelled. I suppose it's really up to him if he wants to Welcome people, but... --Anonymous Contributor (though figuring out my identity shouldn't be THAT hard if you know where to look.)

==Well==

I am Just Trying to be nice me "Anonymous". It's hard to tell who has been here forever and who has not. Please feel free to come to my talk page and tell me what the heck is wrong with me trying to welcome people. Even though some of them have been here longer than me, I still told them they had a talk page. Hyrulian even wrote back to me sayign it was nice that I welcomed him even though he had been here for longer than me.
I am just trying to fit in wiht this wiki. Other wiki's for other sites don't hate me, I am one of the leaders at the other wiki's. Please stop being so mean to me. Thanks [[User:pertmywert|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:pertmywert|pertmywert]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

:Just make sure you know that the user is new and they haven't already been welcomed (they could've deleted the message). →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

== Knowledge? ==

I happen to be new, yet I've been editing pages aand navigating well for months. Some people might know. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]] 22:28, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

== Templates and "subst" ==

Here's a tip for welcomers. For some time now I've been using a user template with the <code>subst</code> wiki command. The <code>subst</code> command actually substitutes the text from a template rather than dynamically including it. It's as if you took a static copy of the template and pasted it into the page. I've set up my own welcome message at [[User:JoeyDay/welcome]], and I welcome users by typing <code><nowiki>{{subst:User:JoeyDay/welcome}} ~~~~</nowiki></code> into new users' talk pages. Easy as pie. My understanding is that most members of the Wikipedia welcoming committee use this same technique. Feel free use it in your own welcoming. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

:Woah, this will make welcoming a whole lot easier. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 12:26, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

== NEW USER THING ==

Is there a way to look and see who the new users are?

*If there is i wanna be in the commtie again [[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]]|[[User_Talk:Pertmywert|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Pertmywert|Contributions]] [mailto:pertmywert@hotmail.com Email]

:The best way is just to look in the Recent Changes, and if you find an unfamiliar username, go to their userspace and look at the User contributions (in the toolbox), and see when their first edit was. If they are new, go to their talk page history and see if they've already been welcomed. If not, you should be right in welcoming them. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:06, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Thankyou!!! [[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]]|[[User_Talk:Pertmywert|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Pertmywert|Contributions]] [mailto:pertmywert@hotmail.com Email]

== Not Even A Thanks ==

*I wouldn't mind getting some Recognition for welcoming all [[User:Pertmywert/wlist|these]] users because i spent half-an-hour welcoming them and making sure they hadn't been welcomed already. Please, may i have some recognition. [[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]]|[[User_Talk:Pertmywert|Talk]] 
**Well this just is great, no one has thanked me yet and i have welcomed HEAPS of people since i joined the committee 2 days ago. Come on, Some recognition would be nice. Well i won't bug people anymore. --[[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]]|[[User_Talk:Pertmywert|Talk]] 22:44, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
***Um, thanks. But did you thank all the other members of the welcoming committee for ''their'' efforts? Are you only doing this for the recognition? Isn't that supposed to be beside the point? And aren't thanks more meaningful when they come unsolicited? My two cents. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:43, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
****YOUR RIGHT :'( ... I AM SO DIRTY --[[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]]|<big>[[User_Talk:Pertmywert|♥]] </big> 00:21, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)
*****I'm not trying to make you feel, er, dirty. I just want you to consider that welcoming people is its own reward. On an unrelated note: For that heart there in your signature (♥), you should use the following character code: "<code>&#9829;</code>". This will ensure that the symbol is displayed correctly in as many browsers as possible. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:36, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)
''{This discussion was continued and resolved on other talk pages.}''

== To welcome, or not to welcome... ==

Wait a minute. Since the top of my screen says "New-user registration has been disabled," is this committee really neccessary anymore? I mean, I know there are a few users that have yet to be welcomed, but since there probably won't be any more newbies in the future, isn't it only a matter of time before the welcoming committee must be put to rest? {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}}

:The new user block is only temporary until the majority of proxy servers are blocked. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:40, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

::Oh, okay. Thanks! I was confuzzled. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}}

== Me ==
Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please! Let me be one.{{User:The thing/sig}} 23:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:You can, by all means. You never have to ask. Just add your name to the list. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 23:06, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
::OK {{User:The thing/sig}} 23:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

== User-creation log ==

I'm starting to find that the user creation log is the best place to find people to welcome. Should that be mentioned on this page? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 00:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
:<s>Actully, I got into a pretty big spot of trouble with that idea, and I strongly suggest you don't. Or feel the wrath of It's dot com! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)</s>
::I don't remember mentioning anything about not using the user-creation log. I simply told you not to use the list of all users. That said, I feel it is poor form to welcome someone using the user-creation log. I'd kinda like to see somebody make some edits first. Some people agree with me on that statement, and others disagree. Also, I admit that there are important links in a welcome message that new users need. So you do whatever your heart tells you regarding the user-creation log. Note, however, ''do not welcome anyone with "troll" or "test" in their name''. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
:Oh oops. I confused the two. My bad. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

== Can I join? ==

I'm interested in helping the wiki in general, and I got a nice spiffy welcoming, so.. Can I join? Just wondering if there are any especial speculations. I mean, special specifications. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 23:49, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

User talk:Ciberdude444

Gnome of Fury — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 23:44:41 GMT

Gnome of Fury:

== awesome...lyrics, man...lyrics... ==

I lurve the lyrics you put on our user page. I LOVE, absitively posilutely LOVE that song! Yeah, just wanted to stop in and say that. Do you have the CD? {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 17:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:no but i have a few songs from it {{user:Ciberdude444/sig}}

== Welcome list ==

I noticed that you haven't been formally welcoming people, and also asked [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] if you could join the committee. I'll answer it for you: go right ahead.

:But you should also read [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee]] first! (By the way, I did answer on my talk page—saying, well, basically what's just been said here.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

==Happy==
Wow; fast draw! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:39, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:too fast i put the wrong ip on the troll list. it had the same frist 2 digits [[User:Ciberdude444|Ciberdude444]] 18:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
::Well the correct one was blocked, and that's all that really matters. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 18:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

==Sig==
Whoa now! The last one looked great, but... um... that new one's a ''little'' long for a sig! lol —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:ya think? {{user:Ciberdude444/sig}}
::If anyone can tell me what song that is you get a prize {{user:Ciberdude444/sig}}
:::By the way, that ''is'' cool (though I don't get a prize), but you know you can't use that for a normal signature. I can't find the official page where it talks about signatures, but the basics are that it 1) shows your name (although not officially against the rules, it's kind of misleading if it doesn't), 2) doesn't have any images over 20 pixels, and 3) is definitely less than a full line. I'd recommend just "Ciberdude444", either with links to your talk page and other stuff after it or—if you wanted to save space—you could even make the "Ciberdude" part link to your user page and the "444" part link to here! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:33, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

AbdiViklas is right. That is too long for a signature. Sanjuro/Balmung

:Yes. Please change your sig so it conforms to our [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#Sig_standards|our standards.]] {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 19:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
::Although note, in Thundebirds comment under that link, that you can keep any kind of non-functional sig around here on your user space. So far there isn't any problem since you haven't had to use your sig anywhere else. But ultimately you'll need a way to sign, and writing out <nowiki>[[User:Ciberdude444|Ciberdude444]]</nowiki> each time could get old. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Although, I adamantly refused to use the tildes for a while myself, and wrote out <nowiki>[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]</nowiki> every time. I liked to think of it as a test of my typing skills. So, it's possible. Just not practical. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::: Even though I use the Tildes, it doesn't come with a link to my page. [[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro]] 20:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::Um... sure 'bout dat? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::Nevermind. It's fixed. (I was just typing this down and it had an error)

Now I can't find where to put my sig. T_T [[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro]] 20:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
==User page==
On your user page, maybe take off the part about "if you like your page" etc. You're a ''reformed'' troll; otherwise you'd be banned (by the way, the number of major users around here who started out as trolls is... well, quite high; even one sysop I can think of). Nobody should be messing with your page simply because its against the rules; the "if you like your page" part makes it a threat of sorts. Which isn't cool. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:Yup, i started out as a troll. My dastardly deed was blanking the sandbox. Template and all. Not that big of a vandalism. Anyway, Abdi's right. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:46, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:Dang. It's like everybody can read my mind! I was just about to put down something like what you just said! Am I that obvious, even when I'm not seen personally? [[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro]] 19:57, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
::Nope; I'm just psychic. :) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Yeah. And on Gaiaonline.com I'm the master of Death. (Seriously, I am!)

::::'''''Bubsty''''' started out as a '''''troll?!?!?''''' What is the world coming to?!?!?! '''''Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!''''' ''{runs into a brick wall}'' oh.....Johnny....that...that's out of, out of....service...... {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::Hey, it's not that uncommon. I started as a troll. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::This has made me curious...to the now-respectable users who were once trolls, why did you troll in the first place? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 02:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:Because I was scared. But yes Has Matt?, I was. look at the troll archives, go to august, and check out bubs@bubs.bubs. That was me! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:40, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:Might as well add that I was once a troll, so it's fairly common. —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 02:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::I didn't know what a Wiki was. In my case, I was there when it reopened after being down for a month, and I thought that it was a temporary glitch that I was able to edit pages. So I figured I'd make good use of my oppourtunity. It was my first introduction to the concept of a Wiki. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:18, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Thats kinda what I mean. I didn't know what a wiki was. And most humans think, "If you don't know what something is, destroy it." Plus, I was curious if I really would get blocked. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Wow, you guys are all so bad... but that is interesting. I guess it's just another instance of [[Wikipedia:Please Don't Bite The Newcomers|Please Don't Bite The Newcomers]]:

<blockquote>
Remember Hanlon's Razor. Behavior that appears malicious to experienced Wikipedians is more likely due to ignorance of our expectations and rules. Even if you're 100% sure that someone is a worthless, no-good, low-down scum-sucking Internet troll, vandal, or worse, conduct yourself as if they're not. By being calm, interested, and respectful, your dignity is uplifted, and you further our project.
</blockquote>

I guess not every person who trolls in the beginning ''is'' a troll. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:44, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
:True dat. But... we're getting off topic. Basiclly Ciberdude, as you've seen, even major, important users have been trolls. If you stop trolling now, you still have a chance to become one. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

yeah, i called firebird a swearword. that's why i first got blocked. [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 04:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I was a troll on Wikipedia for a bit. Of course, now I often correct vandalism, and besides, that was before I got a username,thank goodness. But I respect Homestar Runner too much to vandalize here, no offense to the reformed trolls. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 23:44, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

==Notice==
First of all, I want to say I appreciate that you have not edited Seriously's user or talk page since I asked you not to. I am now extending that to include Trendy Totebag's user and talk pages. (It's hard to be 100% sure, but I don't think that Seriously and Trendy Totebag are the same person, although they do seem to know each other.) Pretend that they don't exist. Do not reply to their comments on other talk pages. I would also like you please to remove your mention of Trendy Totebag from your user page. (Yes, I know that he trolled it in the first place.) I have already warned Seriously and Trendy Totebag that if they ignore my instructions, they will be blocked without hesitation. (Please don't forget that this applies to you as well.) I don't mean to sound harsh here, since as far as I can tell you have not edited their pages (other than to ask a quesion on Trendy Totebag's talk page), but I did want to make sure you were fully informed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Gnome of Fury: User page

== Welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki! ==
Hi there! [[HRWiki:Introduction|Welcome]] to the [[HRWiki:About|The Homestar Runner Wiki]]! As I'm sure you've already noticed, this is the best place to learn about anything and everything [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]]. Glad to have you as a member! There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -

*If you're confused on how this whole wiki thing works, take a look at our [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]].
*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] and the [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] to see how things work around here.
**Be sure to follow the [[HRWiki:User space|User page guidelines]]!
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Check out the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, we have a [[HRWiki:IRC channel|Chat Channel]] and a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum]. If the Chat Channel isn't working for you, you're not alone. Read up on [[HRWiki:WikiChat Troubleshooting|WikiChat Troubleshooting]] for help.
**We also have a [http://www.fanstuff.hrwiki.org Fanstuff Wiki] if you like fanfiction, comics, and other fan-made material.
*If you're looking for something to do, head on over to [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]].
*And remember- '''be bold!''' Don't be afraid to edit a page or start something new. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it! Someone will come along and fix it eventually.

If you have still have any questions, you can ask your question on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]] or any of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops and admins]]. I'm sure you'll catch on quickly (most do), and again- don't be afraid to edit! Also, feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it (it ''is'' your [[HRWiki:User space|User page]]). I hope you stick around! Have fun! {{User:FireBird/sig}}, [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee]]

Actually, I've been lurking around the wiki for a while... you may also call me The Snork (The Sneak in Coach Z) or 69.171.44.42. As you may be able to tell by my username, I'm too lazy to be anything other than a [[HRWiki:WikiGnome]] <strike>(could you fix that link?)</strike> (Fixed. -{{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}). I want to get a really cool user page, like with a bunch of awesome stuff... You know what I mean. Really cool user page. Do you have any tips on HTML and whatnot? BTW, I'm already on Wikipedia, under the same username, just in case you were wondering. I actually visit the wiki more than the wedsite... In case you were wondering, no, I can't stay on the same topic for more than a couple sentences. Which is why I correct grammar. Anyway, haldo, and I hope to be an important-type part of the wiki. [[User:Gnome of Fury|Gnome o' Fury (Also known as The Snork)]] 21:24, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

==Signature Color==

Hmm... It seems as though your signature:

{{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}}

Is only colored greenish-brown on your userpage, where it isn't a link (Links don't link to themselves). It may just be my computer. Does that signature look greenish-brown to anyone? If not, you may want to look into that. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I intended mine to be olive green, so there is definitely something wrong here. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 22:21, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

:Haha, sorry. My brain is always mixing up grey with brown. Stupid brain. :) I fixed my above comment. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:23, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

::On your page, the text is olive green. But on this page, the text is normal link color. Hmm...{{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 22:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Thats because it doesn't link on userpage. At the main location ([[User:Gnome of Fury/sig]]) it's also blue. But the code looks pretty good. I'll see what I can do. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

::::Gaah! '''Two''' edit conflicts? Whatever, good luck, T-bird. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 22:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::Hey, you fixed it. Never mind. Thanks. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 22:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::'''EDIT CONFLICT''': There you go. The code just needed to be moved within the link. All fixed. (I also added a code to make the underline the same color, and I abbreviated the color name (666600 = 660). Now that that's out of the way, you can start on your userpage if you want. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::Oops. 'M srry, that was probably me. You're signature, with the color and stuff, is very similar to mine, and, well, just tryin' to help out here. {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 22:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

==If you can tell me how to create a kick-awesome signature, please do so below this line.==

:[[Help:Signature|Try here]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
::Well, to change the word color you type in <nowiki>What you want to say here.</nowiki>{{User:The thing/sig}} 21:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Also, we've been working on implementing rules pertaining to signatures. These proposed standards, which will likely be fully implemented in the next day or so, are [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#Signatures_.28Final_Version.29|here]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, got it. In accordance to the rule governing name size, I removed all the Sneak-in-CoachZSpeak. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 22:01, 14 January 2006 (UTC) (Not exactly kick-awesome, but I couldn't think of anything else. Maybe improvements will come someday.) Hold on... Aw, crap. Why is it going down a space? Any helpful suggestions?
::There, that should work. I switched your signature to just one line (including code), that might have been the problem. Also be sure to put a space after your last comment and the tildes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:07, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
::'''EDIT:''' The signature standards were just implemented, and moved to [[HRWiki:Signature]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:13, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
::: Okay, now all the color is gone. Just blueness. Now what?
::::You should probably move the conversation over to your [[User talk:Gnome of Fury|talk page]], to make way for your kick awsome userpage. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::Done and... no, just done. {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 02:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

== User page ==

Well, I just finished my user page. Not exactly kick-awesome, but whaddaya thinks? {{User:Gnome of Fury/sig}} 16:56, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
