:That would be great... I mean [[Mike]]. He tends to do that for those [[Powered by The Cheat]] thingies. But perhaps it should be mentioned in the transcript when it's a PBTC voice and when it's Coach Z's voice. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 01:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::How should it be noted, however? It doesn't look like there is any precedent for dialog in a PBTC voice and then a musical piece with the regular voice. Should {PBTC} noted in front of each line, or note in the description? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::I'd support putting "Powered by the Cheat" or something tothat effect in front of everyone's name until the song starts. The Cheat made an intro on his own, and then made a video to a previously recorded R-A-P S-O-N-G. That's my view of it, at least. [[User:132.161.138.10|132.161.138.10]] 20:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC) (I used to have an accoun, but I guess if you use it too infrequently it's DELETED? That's happened to me twice.)

==Dr. Dre Reference==
I'm glad to see the Dr. Dre "reference" was deleted. I'm sorry I spent the time adding links. Besides that it's a rap song (and rap songs are all alike, right?) I don't see the similarity. And I'm certainly not comfortable with the links because of the profanity in the Wikipedia articles. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:I'm unfamiliar with the song, so I have no clue if there's any hidden references to it in this toon. I removed it because... well, I think facts that say "there is a reference to whatever" without saying what, exactly, the reference *is*, are essentially useless. They more or less expect you to *know*, which not everyone does. -{{User:YK/sig}} 02:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

==Incorrect reference for Mix Tape==
I think the fun fact is grabbing the wrong part of the Wikipedia entry for "mix tape." This 'toon is definitely referring to the Hip Hop definition of mix tape, more like a demo than a home-made sample of other people's tracks.

From wikipedia:
"Often each track on a promotional hip hop mixtape will feature the same artist, thus making it more difficult to differentiate from the definition of a standard album. However, these mixtapes will usually have much lower production values than a studio album (such as housing "Demo" versions of tracks, or simply un-mastered/un-mixed versions of the tracks), and contain numerous collaborations, remixes, freestyles and voice-overs, often arranged in a specific flowing fashion, much like retail albums are."

==New Math==

<blockquote>
*"My name is [[Tenerence Love]]" actually equals <math>Tenerence Love + 1</math> by order of operations, not <math>Tenerence Love remainder 3</math> as stated.
**Additionally, if the equation is interpreted as <math>(My name is Tenerence Love + My Name is Tenerence Love) / My name is Tenerence Love </math>, it should equal two, by factoring.
</blockquote>

...so, we're debating the mathematical formula behind what're basically nonsensical lyrics? As I said in the edit summary when I removed these, this seems to be talk page material and nothing more. Anyone? -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::I was about to say the same thing. They're FUN facts, people. Who honestly cares whether or not it would be remainder three or the square root of piemonade???? I vote DELORTED!!--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 05:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Edit: oh, it already was delorted. Too little too late.
Keep it civil. I actually found this very interesting and worked it out for myself. ''MyNameIsTenerenceLove'' = –1 if you perform the addition before the division; otherwise it is undefined. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:I'm not saying it's not *true* or anything... I think it's great talk page material, but trying to analyze a nonsensical "math problem" in a comical rap song seems... a bit odd, IMO. -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::Hmm... I guess I hear the maths differently to you guys... I hear it as (abbreviating ''MyNameIsTenerenceLove'' as <math>x</math> for readability): <math>\frac{x+x}x = x\mbox{ r}3</math>, that is: <math>\frac{x+x}x = x + \frac 3 x</math> which solves to <math>x=1 \plusmn \sqrt 2 i\,</math>. Of course, this has problems, as the "remainder" thingy usually only makes sense when you're dealing with integers, not complex numbers... but it's a reasonable extension. Anyways, the order-of-operations reading, <math>x+\frac x x=x\mbox{ r}3</math>, makes even less sense, since the division has to be the last step for the remainder thing to make sense. Also, I'm with YK here... precedent is that pointless mathematical overanalysis, however fun, belongs on the talk page. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Glad to see I'm not the only one who heard that and thought of a quadratic equation. I'm tempted to claim this is an IR to Virus ("Did the quadratic formula explode?" -SB) but that's... um... unlikely. At best. It could also be a nod to the old Bogus Mathematical Theorems, but I doubt that as well. Anyway, for the record, even though it makes no sense to state the equation with a remainder using the order of operations reading, you can still solve it for ''MyNameIsTenerenceLove''. It's 3. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 21:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

To anyone who wants this in the article: Y'all buscuitheads, you remind me of ''[[Wikipedia:A Beautiful Mind (film)|A Beautiful Mind]]'' — "finding" meaning in the meaningless. Rondleman, you crack me up. Crack! Me! Up! (P.S. I <s>hated</s> strongly disliked ''A Beautiful Mind''.) Whew, I get ornery at 1:00 in the morning! I do have to say, "the square root of piemonade" made me laugh. Thanks for that, Nevadie. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

It's just a parody of the fact that he said "plus" in the second line, which can mean adding in the grammatical sense or in the mathematical sense. It's called poetic license. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 20:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Awexome. Poetic license and all that. Oh, and dot com, I wasn't being uncivil. Only sarcastic.--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 22:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

"Finding meaning in the meaningless"? Isn't that the whole point of this wiki? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 00:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:The equation is impossible, given the "remainder 3" part that you all seem to be ignoring, order of operations, there's no way to have a remainder three in such a case, and order given, there's no remainder at all. This is not a real equation, it's impossible to solve, and we shouldn't even try. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::The equation, performed in the stated order, is perfectly solvable if you think of it as a quadratic equation and treat "MyNameIsTeneranceLove" as a variable (say, X). The "remainder 3" would then be "X remainder 3," which is just another way of saying "X plus 3 over X." Phlip explained this quite adequately. If you take the order of operations into account, the equation is even easier to solve. It's first year algebra, and X ends up equaling 3. Sompm's HS math teacher explains this one below, and it's pointed out (sans explanation) above. The fact that it really makes no sense to use a remainder in this kind of equation, and that you wouldn't actually encounter such a problem (either version) in real life, does not make it "impossible to solve." We've solved it. Both versions. Several times. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 04:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think the problem here is people are assuming that the mathematical operations being used are defined in the "normal" way, and that phrases such as "My name is Tenerence Love" can be treated as a variable, or a value in some set of numbers. While I think [[TBC]] were just being silly, if anyone were to seriously attempt to analyze these quasi-mathematical statements it'd probably be wiser to interpret them using some other definition for the operations. 1+1 does not always equal 2. Addition with real numbers is defined differently than it is for matrices, or in an abelian group defined over an elliptic curve. [[Wikipedia:Abstract_algebra]] is a good place to start if you really want to damage your ability to see mathematics the same way ever again. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 00:24, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::hmm... but there isn't really such a thing as dividing matricies. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::Inverse matrices. Division in the set of reals is simply multiplication by the inverse of the divisor <math>(\tfrac{3}{4} = 3 * 4^{-1})</math>. It's a little harder to find the inverse of a matrix than it is in simple algebra, but that's the closest thing to division in matrix math. Not all operations are defined for all sets anyway. That was partially my point. My other point was that mathematical operations have been defined in a number of ways not familiar to most people, and can be freely redefined (especially since people made it all up in the first place). In this case, only [[Tenerence Love]] could really tell us what this was supposed to mean. And in reality, it was most likely just TBC being silly. I don't think either of them has advanced knowledge of math, given that Mike studied Fine Arts, and Matt went to film school. Tenerence Love's probably not a mathematician either, neglecting the fact that he doesn't actually exist beyond H*R. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 09:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I was value-ing this, and here's what I came up with: 5 plus five (ten) divided by five is three off five. is my name is tenerence love 5? oh, wait, I just figured out. that's not hor remainders workI was value-ing this, and here's what I came up with: 5 plus five (ten) divided by five is three off five. is my name is tenerence love 5? oh, wait, I just figured out. that's not how remainders work [[User:Sompm|Sompm]]

I ran it by my highshool math teacher mother, and we came up with this: according to the order of oprations, we divide x by x first, to get one, so it's x+1 = xR3, and because the fraction of the division is the remainder over the denominator so it's x+1=x+3/x. if x is 3, the x+1=x+1.
in short, "my name is tenerence love" is 3. [[User:Sompm|Sompm]] 02:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Anony ties lowercase i's in: [[User:Dagron|Dagron]] 02:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
"*Solving (Tenerence Love + Tenerence Love)/Tenerence Love = Tenerence Love remainder 3 yields Tenerence Love = 1+i√2 or 1-i√2. This is another instance of [[lowercase i's]]."

A slight correction for Dagron:
When you plug 1-i√2 back into the equation, you get 0 = 4i√2. If you write out the equation as you did, only 1+i√2 correctly solves for Tenerence Love. This, of course, ignores that when it is calculated by the ordinary order of operations (as was pointed out by Sompm and the math-teach-mommy), the answer is just 3.

but didn't he say "equals tenayeaaarence love!"?? so it's a whole different integer! x+x/x='''Y'''R3! no problems! [[User:Sompm|Sompm]]

:An instance of Lowercase i's. From the solution to a fake math problem. That may well be the best stretch ever. Even better than the Iron Sheik/Iron Cheek/Buns of Steel connection and the Eggs/Organic Batteries/"Eggs Not A Fruit" connection. I love it.

== warsh ==

I'm not sure if anyone cares, and I'm sure it doesn't belong in the article anywhere, but I thought it might be worth mentioning that in some areas of Eastern Canada, especially [[wikipedia:Prince Edward Island|PEI]], pronouncing the word "wash" as "warsh" is actually part of a regional accent. I used to live in that region, and almost nobody my age ever said it like that, but a lot of us had parents who did. Also common around there is saying "slippy" instead of "slippery", and saying the word "barrel" in such a way that it sort of rhymes with "Carl". - [[User:24.71.223.142|24.71.223.142]] 05:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:Warsh is also a common pronunciation of wash in Kentucky and some areas further south. Unusual that it makes the long leap up to Canada and skips over everything in between. [[User:Maktaka|Maktaka]] 09:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::As interesting as that is, I don't think it has anything to do with Coach Z's pronounciation of the word. He simply pronounces all words like that, and the majority of them do not sound similar to any other accent in any region. (For example, Port = Putt. What?) {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 10:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:::If I recall, Coach Z was originally intended to have a sort of US midlands accent that quickly began to devolve and get weird, until it's really just replacing some sounds with "or" and "ar" sounds. Now it doesn't really resemble any sort of language at all. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::My grandma (born and raised in Minnesota) has always said "warsh" .. I'll bet it's a reference to her! Will someone please add this to the article: '''"Wash" being spelled as "warsh" is a reference to [[User:OptimisticFool|OptimisticFool]]'s grandma who has always pronounced it that way."''' By the way, it's not Coach Z's pronunciation we should be talking about here; The Cheat is responsible for the word "warsh" .. not Coach Z. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Wash was also spelled and pronounced as "worsh" in 20X6 vs. 1936. Perhaps it's a referance to that too! Personally, I feel it's a TTAOT. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

==Anthropomorphic Egg==
When I saw the egg chasing after Peacy P's limo/waffle house, my first thought was that it was supposed to be one of the villains from Data East's [[Wikipedia:Burgertime|Burgertime]], but a quick check of the box art shows that the egg didn't wear a domino mask as portrayed here. Is this a ''Burgertime'' reference despite the cosmetic difference, or is the significance of the egg relevant to something else? [[User: Nekouken|Nekouken]]

I did notice one thing about the '''EGG'''. And that is that the '''EGG''' appears to be holding a gun, and also the '''EGG''' has legs, and an animation (running) that seams almost Identical to that game on H*R where you shoot each other, have the same style leggs as this '''EGG''' and run the same way the '''EGG''' does in this video. I think the game was called "Where's an..." Damn! I forgot the last word of the title... [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 15:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

==Nate Dogg==

I believe that Tenerence Love is 'sposed to sound like Nate Dogg. And also "It don't stop" is something that alot of rappers (especially Snoop Dogg) says. [[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]] 07:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

This supposed RWR ("Peacey P places an order for food much like in the video "Fast Food Freestyle" on Youtube.") needs some discussing, methinks. Pretty funny video, and similar, but sometimes there's an overlap in ideas that TBC may think are original but that have been done before.

== Waffle House ==

Does the explaination of what Waffle House is (Since it's where Peacey orders breakfast, though named differently) seem worth including on the page? Also, can anyone tell what name is scribbled on the top of his order? → [[User:Peacey_P|☮y P]] … ''Y'all biscuitheads!'' 04:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

The name looks to be "_est Chef" with the blank being unreadable (to me) but I assume it's "Best Chef". Nothing there, I guess. Interesting though that "Tos" for "Toast" is there, when previously it was "Toz" for "Toes". → [[User:Peacey_P|☮y P]] … ''Y'all biscuitheads!'' 04:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== Noteworthy "pseudo-goofs?" ==

I'm surprised no one's made mention of a few "pseudo-goofs":

* At the words "come to do his landry," Coach Z briefly appears to have two left forearms.

* After Coach Z asks if he can record on new album, Peacey-P's body clearly disconnects from his head.

* Coach Z's left eye briefly pops out of his head at the words "I thought I made that abundantly clear!"

* When singing, Tenerance Love's moustache and goatee occasionally overlap his microphone.

These are obviously not honest goofs, but they stand out as exceptional even considering The Cheat's usual two-years-old-boy style. Worth adding to "Remarks?" [[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 05:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:They *have* been mentioned, repeatedly. They just keep getting removed, because we don't point out The Cheat's "goofs".

:Another psuedo-goof? (See above). {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 07:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It's just because his afro is black and the background of the golden record is black. His reflection is underneath the actual record.

I think the fun fact is grabbing the wrong part of the Wikipedia entry for "mix tape." This 'toon is definitely referring to the Hip Hop definition of mix tape, more like a demo than a home-made sample of other people's tracks.

From wikipedia:
"Often each track on a promotional hip hop mixtape will feature the same artist, thus making it more difficult to differentiate from the definition of a standard album.

:The equation is impossible, given the "remainder 3" part that you all seem to be ignoring, order of operations, there's no way to have a remainder three in such a case, and order given, there's no remainder at all.

:::The equation, performed in the stated order, is perfectly solvable if you think of it as a quadratic equation and treat "MyNameIsTeneranceLove" as a variable (say, X). The "remainder 3" would then be "X remainder 3," which is just another way of saying "X plus 3 over X." Phlip explained this quite adequately. If you take the order of operations into account, the equation is even easier to solve. It's first year algebra, and X ends up equaling 3. Sompm's HS math teacher explains this one below, and it's pointed out (sans explanation) above. The fact that it really makes no sense to use a remainder in this kind of equation, and that you wouldn't actually encounter such a problem (either version) in real life, does not make it "impossible to solve." We've solved it. Both versions. Several times. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 04:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think the problem here is people are assuming that the mathematical operations being used are defined in the "normal" way, and that phrases such as "My name is Tenerence Love" can be treated as a variable, or a value in some set of numbers. While I think [[TBC]] were just being silly, if anyone were to seriously attempt to analyze these quasi-mathematical statements it'd probably be wiser to interpret them using some other definition for the operations. 1+1 does not always equal 2.

::::Inverse matrices. Division in the set of reals is simply multiplication by the inverse of the divisor <math>(\tfrac{3}{4} = 3 * 4^{-1})</math>. It's a little harder to find the inverse of a matrix than it is in simple algebra, but that's the closest thing to division in matrix math. Not all operations are defined for all sets anyway. That was partially my point. My other point was that mathematical operations have been defined in a number of ways not familiar to most people, and can be freely redefined (especially since people made it all up in the first place). In this case, only [[Tenerence Love]] could really tell us what this was supposed to mean. And in reality, it was most likely just TBC being silly.

I ran it by my highshool math teacher mother, and we came up with this: according to the order of oprations, we divide x by x first, to get one, so it's x+1 = xR3, and because the fraction of the division is the remainder over the denominator so it's x+1=x+3/x. if x is 3, the x+1=x+1.

"*Solving (Tenerence Love + Tenerence Love)/Tenerence Love = Tenerence Love remainder 3 yields Tenerence Love = 1+i√2 or 1-i√2. This is another instance of [[lowercase i's]]."

A slight correction for Dagron:
When you plug 1-i√2 back into the equation, you get 0 = 4i√2. If you write out the equation as you did, only 1+i√2 correctly solves for Tenerence Love. This, of course, ignores that when it is calculated by the ordinary order of operations (as was pointed out by Sompm and the math-teach-mommy), the answer is just 3.

I'm not sure if anyone cares, and I'm sure it doesn't belong in the article anywhere, but I thought it might be worth mentioning that in some areas of Eastern Canada, especially [[wikipedia:Prince Edward Island|PEI]], pronouncing the word "wash" as "warsh" is actually part of a regional accent. I used to live in that region, and almost nobody my age ever said it like that, but a lot of us had parents who did. Also common around there is saying "slippy" instead of "slippery", and saying the word "barrel" in such a way that it sort of rhymes with "Carl". - [[User:24.71.223.142|24.71.223.142]] 05:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

* Coach Z's left eye briefly pops out of his head at the words "I thought I made that abundantly clear!"

* When singing, Tenerance Love's moustache and goatee occasionally overlap his microphone.

"Often each track on a promotional hip hop mixtape will feature the same artist, thus making it more difficult to differentiate from the definition of a standard album. However, these mixtapes will usually have much lower production values than a studio album (such as housing "Demo" versions of tracks, or simply un-mastered/un-mixed versions of the tracks), and contain numerous collaborations, remixes, freestyles and voice-overs, often arranged in a specific flowing fashion, much like retail albums are."

It's just a parody of the fact that he said "plus" in the second line, which can mean adding in the grammatical sense or in the mathematical sense. It's called poetic license. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 20:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

"Finding meaning in the meaningless"? Isn't that the whole point of this wiki? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 00:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:The equation is impossible, given the "remainder 3" part that you all seem to be ignoring, order of operations, there's no way to have a remainder three in such a case, and order given, there's no remainder at all. This is not a real equation, it's impossible to solve, and we shouldn't even try. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::The equation, performed in the stated order, is perfectly solvable if you think of it as a quadratic equation and treat "MyNameIsTeneranceLove" as a variable (say, X). The "remainder 3" would then be "X remainder 3," which is just another way of saying "X plus 3 over X." Phlip explained this quite adequately. If you take the order of operations into account, the equation is even easier to solve. It's first year algebra, and X ends up equaling 3. Sompm's HS math teacher explains this one below, and it's pointed out (sans explanation) above. The fact that it really makes no sense to use a remainder in this kind of equation, and that you wouldn't actually encounter such a problem (either version) in real life, does not make it "impossible to solve." We've solved it. Both versions. Several times. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 04:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think the problem here is people are assuming that the mathematical operations being used are defined in the "normal" way, and that phrases such as "My name is Tenerence Love" can be treated as a variable, or a value in some set of numbers. While I think [[TBC]] were just being silly, if anyone were to seriously attempt to analyze these quasi-mathematical statements it'd probably be wiser to interpret them using some other definition for the operations. 1+1 does not always equal 2. Addition with real numbers is defined differently than it is for matrices, or in an abelian group defined over an elliptic curve. [[Wikipedia:Abstract_algebra]] is a good place to start if you really want to damage your ability to see mathematics the same way ever again. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 00:24, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::hmm... but there isn't really such a thing as dividing matricies. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::Inverse matrices. Division in the set of reals is simply multiplication by the inverse of the divisor <math>(\tfrac{3}{4} = 3 * 4^{-1})</math>. It's a little harder to find the inverse of a matrix than it is in simple algebra, but that's the closest thing to division in matrix math. Not all operations are defined for all sets anyway. That was partially my point. My other point was that mathematical operations have been defined in a number of ways not familiar to most people, and can be freely redefined (especially since people made it all up in the first place). In this case, only [[Tenerence Love]] could really tell us what this was supposed to mean. And in reality, it was most likely just TBC being silly. I don't think either of them has advanced knowledge of math, given that Mike studied Fine Arts, and Matt went to film school. Tenerence Love's probably not a mathematician either, neglecting the fact that he doesn't actually exist beyond H*R. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 09:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I ran it by my highshool math teacher mother, and we came up with this: according to the order of oprations, we divide x by x first, to get one, so it's x+1 = xR3, and because the fraction of the division is the remainder over the denominator so it's x+1=x+3/x. if x is 3, the x+1=x+1.
in short, "my name is tenerence love" is 3. [[User:Sompm|Sompm]] 02:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Anony ties lowercase i's in: [[User:Dagron|Dagron]] 02:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
"*Solving (Tenerence Love + Tenerence Love)/Tenerence Love = Tenerence Love remainder 3 yields Tenerence Love = 1+i√2 or 1-i√2. This is another instance of [[lowercase i's]]."

A slight correction for Dagron:
When you plug 1-i√2 back into the equation, you get 0 = 4i√2. If you write out the equation as you did, only 1+i√2 correctly solves for Tenerence Love. This, of course, ignores that when it is calculated by the ordinary order of operations (as was pointed out by Sompm and the math-teach-mommy), the answer is just 3.

but didn't he say "equals tenayeaaarence love!"?? so it's a whole different integer! x+x/x='''Y'''R3! no problems! [[User:Sompm|Sompm]]

== warsh ==

I'm not sure if anyone cares, and I'm sure it doesn't belong in the article anywhere, but I thought it might be worth mentioning that in some areas of Eastern Canada, especially [[wikipedia:Prince Edward Island|PEI]], pronouncing the word "wash" as "warsh" is actually part of a regional accent. I used to live in that region, and almost nobody my age ever said it like that, but a lot of us had parents who did. Also common around there is saying "slippy" instead of "slippery", and saying the word "barrel" in such a way that it sort of rhymes with "Carl". - [[User:24.71.223.142|24.71.223.142]] 05:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:Warsh is also a common pronunciation of wash in Kentucky and some areas further south. Unusual that it makes the long leap up to Canada and skips over everything in between. [[User:Maktaka|Maktaka]] 09:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::As interesting as that is, I don't think it has anything to do with Coach Z's pronounciation of the word.

What?) {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 10:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:::If I recall, Coach Z was originally intended to have a sort of US midlands accent that quickly began to devolve and get weird, until it's really just replacing some sounds with "or" and "ar" sounds.

When I saw the egg chasing after Peacy P's limo/waffle house, my first thought was that it was supposed to be one of the villains from Data East's [[Wikipedia:Burgertime|Burgertime]], but a quick check of the box art shows that the egg didn't wear a domino mask as portrayed here.

== Noteworthy "pseudo-goofs?" ==

I'm surprised no one's made mention of a few "pseudo-goofs":

* At the words "come to do his landry," Coach Z briefly appears to have two left forearms.

* After Coach Z asks if he can record on new album, Peacey-P's body clearly disconnects from his head.

* Coach Z's left eye briefly pops out of his head at the words "I thought I made that abundantly clear!"

* When singing, Tenerance Love's moustache and goatee occasionally overlap his microphone.

These are obviously not honest goofs, but they stand out as exceptional even considering The Cheat's usual two-years-old-boy style. Worth adding to "Remarks?" [[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 05:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:They *have* been mentioned, repeatedly. They just keep getting removed, because we don't point out The Cheat's "goofs".

It's just because his afro is black and the background of the golden record is black. His reflection is underneath the actual record.

HRWiki:Welcoming committee

Ju Ju Master — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 19:24:49 GMT

Ju Ju Master: Probably shouldn't be a member of this.

{{shortcut|WC}}

Welcome to the Welcoming Committee of the [[Main Page|Homestar Runner Wiki]]. If you'd like to join this committee, just put your name at the bottom of the list below!

== 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.

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 ==
{{shortcut|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 ==

Users are automatically provided with helpful links and information by the bot [[User:First Time Here?|First Time Here?]], and the members of the welcoming committee are encouraged to offer a more personalized welcome and help. Be as kind and welcoming as possible and answer any questions they might have.

You might begin with a general greeting, followed by some question (to get them to actively respond and participate) regarding themselves you might have gleaned from an edit they have made. Obviously, once someone has set up a user page this is easier, but look at edit summaries or even the type of edit they have made to find a point of conversation. ("You seem pretty good with grammar. Do you take advanced language classes?") Just as you would in an in-person social environment, engage the new user in some form of interaction.

Remember, the goal of the welcoming process is to guide the new user toward active positive participation in the wiki. Suggest projects which might be a good fit for the new user. Point out pages which need cleanup, STUFF votes, and any other areas of the wiki you think the new user might be interested in. Channel their initial interest into quality participation.

[[Image:sterrance.png|thumb|right|150px|Awww... I want one!]]

Woah! You're actually on my page!... why? It's pretty bad. All I did was steal some ideas from a couple'a users and changed the pictures and stuff. You must be pretty bored. Couldn't you be doing something else, like studying for that test you have coming up, or reading for your summer reading list? Ah well, suit yourself.

== About Me (Barely) ==

My name's Tim. I joined the wiki around April of 2005. The first thing I saw on homestarrunner was Dancing Bubs, which my friend showed me, and the first email I saw was [[i love you]]. Months later I checked out homestarrunner again, when the newest email was [[Crazy Cartoon]], and since then I've been a big fan of the Homestar crew, and I believe I've seen every image ever on their site.

I don't spend much time here anymore, but I'm an active member at the WikiForum.

== Favorites ==

{{toonnav|Holiday Toon|senorialday|HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!|Happy Fireworks}}
[[Image:senorialday.png|thumb|"What are you doing just sitting around?"]]

Commercials collide as both Senor Cardgage and Bubs attempt to draw people to their respective Senorial Day sales.

'''Cast (in order of appearance): '''[[Balding Man]], {{Film|Senor Cardgage}}, [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]], {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Mustachioed Homestar Runner]], [[Bear holding a Shark]], {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' Balding Man's Living Room, [[The Field]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], [[Strong Badia]], [[Alleyway]]

'''Date:''' May 30, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 2:50

'''Page Title:''' Battle of the Network Stars!!

==Transcript==

''{Balding Man sits looking depressed in his wood-paneled living room in an aqua-green lounge chair while holding a canned cold one and watching TV. Light music plays in the background.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Say there, "husband of the year," ''{Balding Man looks at the camera}'' what are you doing just sitting around?

''{Balding Man gives a loud, long sigh.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' When you could be sitting around ''huge'' savings ''{Balding man gives a big smile}'' at the Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale!!!

''{The last six words are printed across the screen, and "Supra Sale" is echoed.}''

''{Balloons float up as the scene wipes to reveal Senor Cardgage standing in the Field in front of a portable tent covering the small shrub. Two strands of multicolored pennant streamers hang in front of and behind the tent.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Gamble around the campfire, children! It's Senor Cardgage with the Senorial Day Tent thing that guy talked about.

''{The next scene tumbles in from the center. Still in the Field, Senor Cardgage stands in front of the [[Gremlin]] with a strand of pennant streamers overhead.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' It won't be here forever. So come see me ''{pull back to reveal the Wagon Fulla Pancakes at Senor Cardgage's feet}'' and this little dog ''{indicating the wagon}'' for vera low prices!!

''{"VERA LOW PRICES!!" flashes on the screen.}''

''{The screen shifts to a blue screen with "Tent Event" printed all over it. As the narrator names off the following years, the numbers fly across the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' 2005! 2004! 1999!

''{Scene shifts back to the awning and the shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Those were all good years. Don't let another minute go you by.

''{The screen turns to static for a moment as the channels apparently change, and we now see Bubs at his concession stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! Come check out my circumstance this Senorial Day Weekend for Bubsotathon!!

''{The screen pans out, and we can see a star-spangled "BUBSOTATHON!!" banner above the concession stand. Two Homestar Runners can barely be seen flanking the stand. Both throw confetti.}''

'''LEFT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{fireworks noises}'' Pekyoo! Hgyoo! Pghyoo! Doo! Pehw! Wehw! ''{normal voice}'' Explosions! Fireworks!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Bubs is standing next to the [[Stop Sign]] and the [[Tire]]. The Tire has been painted to read "LOW SAViNGS".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up the Tire}'' We're so ''tired'' of low savings, we're givin' 'em this boot!

''{He pulls a [['Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]] out from behind his back and hits the tire with it. An unseen audience groans. Bubs throws both props over his shoulder.}''

'''BUBS:''' Would I lie to my own flesh and blood?

''{Homestar walks in from stage right, with false Bubs teeth drawn on his jaw in marker and a paper ring taped over his left eye.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Bubba daddy!

''{The Tire and the Boot are seen falling behind the fence. The Bear holding a Shark gets triggered and pops up as they land. The channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, back in front of the Gremlin. Strong Bad walks up from stage right with an American football in hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, excuse me, sir. Can I have some tremendous savings? And your autograph? ''{holds up the ball}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{writing on the football with a marker}'' My left name is "Tremendous Savings", Ms. America! ''{grabs the football and winds up to throw it, indicating for Strong Bad to go long}'' Go out for a pass!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' You bet! Hit me on the slant! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{Senor Cardgage pauses for a moment, then drops his arms, still holding the football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Bring on down your whole fambly! We'll set up some tents ''{an image of a tent hovers on the left side of the screen}'' and hot dogs ''{an image of a hot dog hovers on the right}'' for your... babies. ''{scratching his head}'' Those like those, right?

''{Channel changes back to Bubs, who is back at his concession stand. He's wearing a pink baby bonnet and holding a rattle.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're going ''gaga'' ''{rattles the rattle}'' over slashed prices!

''{As he says this, a serrated blade emerges from the end of the rattle and the word "PRICES" appears at the bottom of the screen. He slashes "PRICES" in two with the blade. The audience groans. Bubs ducks down, then returns with a wig and a tennis racquet.}''

'''BUBS:''' Our competition is a total ''racket!''

''{The audience groans again. Bubs ducks down again and returns with a bean bag that looks vaguely like Strong Sad's head on a plate.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're getting a''head'' of the rest.

''{More groans. Bubs now switches the plate for a giant frog mask.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm the hoppity-frog of value!

''{Audience says "Huh?" in unison. Bubs switches props to a rubber chicken.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're holding up a novelty rubber chicken and playing a cartoony sound effect ''{He raises his left hand to cue a pair of cartoony "boing" sound effects}'' of savings!

''{Channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, who is back in front of the awning and shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You doe NOT want to miss ''{"Doe NOT Miss Out" appears at the bottom of the screen.}'' any Senorial Day savings action!

''{Cut to file footage of an urban alley, where Senor Cardgage is sleeping in an orange sleeping bag, using his [[Aldi Bag|Aldi bags]] as a pillow. A box labeled "UNLABELED BOX" can be seen to the left. Senor Cardgage snores loudly as cars honk their horns in the background. Cut back to the Gremlin, where Senor Cardgage is still holding Strong Bad's football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Wake up! Senorial Day is here with the vengeance!

''{Strong Bad returns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, Mister Senor, sir? Can I have my football back?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You bet! How 'bout I hitcha on the slant?

''{Senor Cardgage winds up to throw the ball, and Strong Bad dashes off again. After a moment's pause, Senor Cardgage again drops his arms, still holding the football. He then walks off, stage left. We cut to Strong Bad, still running in the other direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna get me a touchdown!

''{Channel changes back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' So come down around my Bubba Concession Stand — my Buh — my cassette — ''{music screeches to a halt}'' Ough! I even wrote this stuff and I can't remember my own lins ''{sic}'' .

''{Another Bubs wearing devil horns and carrying a pitchfork rips open the screen.}''

'''DEVIL BUBS:''' So come on by for Bubsotathon ''{The banner from earlier comes up from the bottom of the screen}'' where you'll save like a demon, or my name ain't ''{holds up a "VERY OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION CARD"}'' Bubs Concession Stand!

''{The channel changes to the wall of the Balding Man's living room, with ID cards that read "BACK" and "AGAIN".}

==Easter Eggs==
[[image:mustachioedHR.png|78px|thumb|'stache]]

*If you view the Flash file directly in the scene with two Homestars, you can see that the Homestar on the right has a moustache.

*When Senor Cardgage holds up Strong Bad's football the first time, click on the football to see what Senor Cardgage wrote (in very scrawly handwriting): "This pen doesn't work, small girl T. Mendous Savings"
*At the very end, click on the narrow wood panel just to the left of the AGAIN card.

:''{The Field at night. Crickets chirp in the background. Strong Sad walks on from stage left.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night.
:''{Strong Bad's football flies in from off in the distance and nails Strong Sad squarely in the back, knocking him over.}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' OHGH! Somebody hit me on the slant!
{{clear}}

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Senorial Day was released on and is a takeoff of the U.S. holiday [[Wikipedia:Memorial Day|Memorial Day]], during which there are often many much-hyped retail sales events.
*A slant pattern is an [[Wikipedia:American football|American football]] play in which a potential receiver initially runs directly toward the endzone, but then, in an attempt to fake out a defender, changes direction and runs at an angle, or "slant."

===Trivia===
[[Image:bubsid.PNG|thumb|Bubs' ID card]]
*Bubs' ID card reads:<blockquote style="width:20em"><big style="color:red">'''''VERY OFFICIAL'''''</big> IDENTIFICATION CARD BUBS C. STAND Entrepreneur FREE COUNTRY USA<div style="text-align:center;font:x-large monospace">[SUSPENDED]</div><div style="float:right;text-align:right">"I don't look half bad!" -Bubs</div>CLASS F</blockquote>
*The shading on the football in the first (close-up Easter egg) is a repeated heart shape, on its side.

===Remarks===
*If Bubs can be trusted, then we learn his full name is "Bubs Concession Stand", a fact hinted at in the email [[other days]] where Bubs signs his "snail mail" to Strong Bad in the same manner.
*Notice that when Strong Bad says "Mister Senor, sir," he is saying three different synonyms of the same word in a row (assuming we substitute "Señor" for "Senor").
*This is the second instance of [[Twin Characters|twin characters]], the first being [[pizzaz]].

===Goofs===
*Bubs uses the rattle-knife to cut from upper left to lower right (from the viewer's perspective) but the cut which appears on the word "prices" goes from the upper right to lower left.
*One of the [[Gremlin]]'s back wheels is not visible.

===Inside References===
*Senor Cardgage signs the football with a [[Permanent Marker|Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*Bubs wears the same [[Wikipedia:John McEnroe|John McEnroe]] wig that Homestar wore in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*This is another appearance of [[Strong Sad's Severed Head]].
*In the email [[montage]], the Wagon Fulla Pancakes was said to have gone on to do commercial spots for used car dealerships. This explains its appearance in this cartoon, which is an obvious parody of said commercials.
*The serrated knife that Bubs uses looks similar to the [[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies|Hash-Haw]] from [[Stinkoman 20X6]] level 6.
*Bubs also said, "Hey there every peoples!" in his [[Bubs#Character Video Transcript|character video]].

'''Page title:''' Homestar Decker-Slaney!

==Transcript==

''{The toon opens in Marshmallow's Last Stand with Homestar Runner sitting across from Cardboard Marzipan. As he speaks for her, he moves her head with a string.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as Cardboard Marzipan}'' And they feed the ducks through a tube. Don't you think that's awful?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look, girl sitting across from me. I gotta level with you. ''{jumps up}'' I'm gonna go build a deck!

''{Homestar runs away from the table. He pops up from under the table to imitate Cardboard Marzipan}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as Cardboard Marzipan}'' I gots to find me a new man.

''{Cut to The King of Town eating something white in a bowl. Homestar pops up from under the table.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, King of Town!

''{The King of Town spits out a remote control.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm gonna build a deck!

''{Cut to The Cheat knitting in The Field. Homestar pops out from behind The Stick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Cheat, I'm deckin' it out!

''{Cut to Homestar standing on Marzipan's couch. Pom-Pom is holding a camera and a boom mic is overhead.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I am the Deckman! D-E-C-K-E-M-A-N!

''{Cut to Strong Sad lying in bed. Homestar pops out from under the covers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Hi, Strong Sad... Um... Not sure how I got in here... I'll just... go back the way I came.

''{Homestar disappears under the covers.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have ''got'' to get my prescription changed!

''{"The Local Newspapes" appears with headline "No Hands On Deck!!"}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Bubs in The Field. Homestar is wearing a tool belt and leaning against a stack of wood. He also has a toothpick in his mouth, which remains for the rest of the toon.}''

'''BUBS:''' Now what's all this about, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What, you didn't know? Yeah, I'm building me a deck. Using galvanized nails. That's right, that's right. I said I'm using galvanized nails ''{mumbles last two words}''.

'''BUBS:''' Galvanized nails, eh? Sounds legit. We can chill out on it an' drink melonade all summer long.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, melonade! We haven't talked about that much lately! Maybe we can eat some ''{Homestar's head turns into an older animation style, and he speaks accordingly}'' marshmallows ''{Homestar's head and voice turn back to normal}'' too!

'''BUBS:''' And I like to dance! ''{beat plays and Bubs does a little dance}'' Well, I'll let you get back to work. I'll swing by later on with a sixer of Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Make it a seven-er.

'''BUBS:''' Aroo-got it!

''{Cut to Coach Z's Locker Room.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Galvanized, you don't say?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's pretty legit. I was thinking about writing a musical about it too. Maybe call it, "My Good/Great Deck". I'll probably get Rappaport to star in it.

'''COACH Z:''' What about me? I wanna be in your myorsical! I can be the orphan! ''{Coach Z switches his hat to a flat cap and starts singing}'' Oh, where is my mudder-dee-doo?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a good one, Coach. A ''{the shot zooms in with each of the next three words}'' really... really... good one. Well, I better get back to work if I'm gonna build a deck in this cartoon. ''{leaves}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{holds up four Tony awards}'' But what abrat my four Tony Awards?

''{Cut to Homestar sitting across from Cardboard Marzipan in Marshmallow's Last Stand}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Kipedia said vulcanized was the way to go. But I dang old knew better. Galvanized, galvanized, galvanized, that's what I always say!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as Cardboard Marzipan}'' Homestar, are you using galvanized nails to hide the fact that you don't know how to build a deck?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm gonna have to get... back to you on that one... Peow! ''{a small cloud of dust appears, but nothing happens}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as Cardboard Marzipan}'' ... Ahem...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's try that again. Peow! ''{runs off, leaving behind another small cloud of dust}''

''{Music plays. Homestar marches forward super-imposed on top of a hammer and saw working on two separate pieces of wood. The scene switches to show a small Homestar being hammered into a plank of wood repeatedly. The scene switches again, showing a saw sawing wood mirrored in four orientations while Homestar flies forward on a pile of lumber. A second pile flies by in the opposite direction. The scene switches to a tabletop, where a tiny Homestar marches, leading a number of galvanised nails out of the box. A larger Homestar rises up from behind, watching them then begins to groove with the music.}''

''{Music ends. Cut to Bubs and Homestar standing on top of Bubs' Concession Stand, holding cans of Melonade}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I'm impressed, Homestar. When you said you were building a deck, I figured it would end up being something stupid and terrible. You know, 'cause ''you'' were building it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, me too!

''{Looks out over The Field, which is now completely covered in wood.}

'''BUBS:''' But I think I could get used to this!

''{Cut back to Bubs and Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here's to galvanized nails, and cardboard females!

'''BUBS:''' I'll drink to that! ''{Bubs and Homestar chink their cans in a toast.}''

''{Cut back to the image of the wooden field. Wooden clouds can now be seen as well. The screen reads "end." and "back."}''

==Easter Eggs==
*When Homestar says he'll make a musical, click on the locker handle to the left of him to see a playbill for it.

:The bill reads:
<blockquote>
----
<big><big>Theater</big> 
My Good/ 
Great Deck</big> 
 
{A picture of Homestar looking determinedly at three galvanized nails} 
 
featuring: 'Where Is My Mudder-Dee-Doo?' 
A Three Act Opt-In Musical Rant 
by Homestar Runner 
(now with 50% more Rappaport!)
</blockquote>

*At the end of the cartoon, click the second tree to the left to see a brief scene with a few characters in a 'wooded' environment.

:''{A lumber-covered Cardboard Marzipan is standing on the deck. Homestar peeks out from under a plank and manipulates her with the string.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{as Cardboard Marzipan}'' Oh, Homestar, I'm so proud of you!
:''{We see Strong Mad, similarly boxed in with lumber.}''
:'''STRONG MAD''': ME TOO!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Galvanization|Galvanization]] is the process of coating steel or iron with zinc to reduce corrosion. Thus, galvanized nails are zinc-coated nails.
**Using galvanized nails with ACQ [[Wikipedia:Pressure_treated_lumber#Preservatives|pressure treated]] deck lumber will lead to electrolysis which will [http://www.sutherlands.com/acq.htm corrode] nails very quickly, leading to an unsightly and possibly unstable deck.
*[[Wikipedia:Vulcanization|Vulcanization]] is the curing of rubber. This makes the rubber harder and more durable.
*The term "Ham and Egger" refers to a mediocre or bland athlete, a reference to the fact that ham and eggs is an "ordinary" meal. The slang term was widely used in the world of professional boxing, where it meant either an ordinary grade sparring partner or a palooka, a loser. A "ham and egger" is the opposite of a contender. It was also used in professional wrestling, referring to a wrestler who routinely lost in opening matches and wouldn't make much money, but would still get paid enough to buy a simple meal. The wrestling meaning was popularized by [[Wikipedia:Bobby Heenan|Bobby "The Brain" Heenan]].
*Feeding ducks "through a tube" refers to a technique used to enlarge duck livers for the preparation of [[Wikipedia:Foie gras|foie gras]] by force-feeding cornmeal down the throat several times a day. The alleged harmful effects of this technique are debated among environmental activists and foie gras producers. At the time of this toon's release, the [[Wikipedia:Associated Press|Associated Press]] and other major news organizations were running stories on the Chicago ban on foie gras that went into effect on the released date of the toon.
*[[Wikipedia:Apothecary|Apothecaries]], from the Middle Ages through the 19th century, filled roles analogous to modern pharmacists.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Local Newspapes.png|200px|thumb|"All the decks fit to print"]]
*This toon's loading screen reads "[[Irregular Loading Screens|loadinate]]".

*The newspaper reads...
<blockquote>
----
<big><big>The Local Newspapes
----
NO HANDS ON DECK!!</big> 
Area Man To Build Deck</big> 
[[Free Country, USA|FCUSA]] - The world waits with baited breath 
as local [[Ham|ham]] n' [[Eggs|egger]] Homestar Runner 
prepares to break ground on a wooden 
deck-like Structure of what can only be 
described (by him) as 'deckic proportions.'

The 'Deckeman?'

<big>Strong Sad Unavailable 
For Comment!</big> 
''Last seen at local apothecary Bubs' Concession''
</blockquote>
*The last time [[Melonade|melonade]] was mentioned was in [[Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig]], but was actually seen last in [[anything]].
*The toon was originally put on the site without the Easter eggs and the wood covered clouds. These were added a few hours later.

===Inside References===
*The title of the short and the newspaper headline refer to Homestar's [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible arms]].
*Cardboard Marzipan originated from [[Happy Fireworks]].
*The King of Town is eating the remote control of the [[Telebision]].
*Pom Pom with the camera and having someone else holding the boom is a reference to the email [[pom pom]].
*Strong Sad first mentioned taking medication in [[funny]].
*While saying "marshmallows", Homestar's head and voice briefly transform to the earlier [[Jumping Jack Contest]] form.
*Bubs' dance moves are the spin and flip from [[Dancing Bubs]].
*The [[Periodicals|newspaper]] is called ''The Local Newspapes'', which is also the name of the newspaper in the [[Dangeresque]] series.
*Homestar's line "if I'm gonna build a deck in this cartoon" [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]].
*The Cheat was also seen knitting in [[Seasonal Sweaters]].
*The playbill is in a similar style to the one in [[stupid stuff]].
*Homestar's intonation of "Peow!" while dashing off screen was not unique. Strong Bad made the same sound effect while dashing off screen in [[garage sale]].

===Real-World References===
*The name "Homestar Decker-Slaney" is a reference to U.S. middle-distance runner [[Wikipedia:Mary Decker|Mary Decker-Slaney]].
*The name "Rappaport" may be a reference to Herb Gardner's Tony award winning play "[[Wikipedia:I'm Not Rappaport|I'm Not Rappaport]]" or to stage and film actor [[Wikipedia:Michael Rapaport|Michael Rapaport]].

[[Image:sterrance.png|thumb|right|150px|Awww... I want one!]]

Woah! You're actually on my page!... why? It's pretty bad. All I did was steal some ideas from a couple'a users and changed the pictures and stuff. You must be pretty bored. Couldn't you be doing something else, like studying for that test you have coming up, or reading for your summer reading list. Ah well, suit yourself.

== About Me (Barely) ==

My name's Tim. I joined the wiki around April of 2005. The first thing I saw on homestarrunner was Dancing Bubs, which my friend showed me, and the first email I saw was [[i love you]]. Months later I checked out homestarrunner again, when the newest email was [[Crazy Cartoon]], and since then I've been a big fan of the Homestar crew, and I believe I've seen every image ever on their site.

I don't spend much time here anymore, but I'm an active member at the WikiForum.

Ju Ju Master: /* Wiki title */

{{Main Page Talk}}

__TOC__
==Wiki title==

I think we should move this page to [[Homestar Runner Wiki]] (click the link to see what it could look like). That way, it will show the actual title of the wiki instead of boring ol' "Main Page" (which of course would be left as a redirect). The [[MW:|MediaWiki]] front page is an excellent example of how it could be. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:24, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I really like the idea. It shows exactly who we are upon entering. If I was in charge, I'd've done it from th' start. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I also support the idea, maybe we should make Main Page a dis. page, though, for [[Main Pages]] and Homestar Runner Wiki. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 01:30, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:Support. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 01:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Rogue Leader: Main Page and Talk:Main Page would have to redirect to the respective Homestar Runner Wiki pages, due to the amount of links to them, both internal and external. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:Complete Support: The Main Page talks about '''The Homestar Runner Wiki''' not '''Main Page''' {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 01:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::::It's dot com: That can be accomplished simply by changing the text of [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]] from "Main Page" to "Homestar Runner Wiki". {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::Heh. Yes, I know. :) I wanted people to be able to see a preview without [[HRWiki:Standards#Be_bold.2C_but_know_when_not_to_be|being too drastic]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I like your idea, Dot com. I'm surprised nobody ever thought of this before. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 02:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I support leaving it [[Main Page]]. [http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Main+Page%22+mediawiki Most to all MediaWiki wikis] (257,000,000 at this moment) leave the title as the default. This page is the sole exception to the "articles are in the main namespace" rule, and giving it a different title would make it seem as if this was an article about the Homestar Runner Wiki (remember, we already have an article for that at [[HRWiki:A History]]). This is the main page of the wiki, it's our cover page and our table of contents. It's not the Homestar Runner Wiki. The entire wiki is the Homestar Runner Wiki. (I also never liked it when our main page was called [[old:HomestarRunnerWiki|HomestarRunnerWiki]] way back when.) -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::Most to all wikis use Main Page because they either don't know they can change it or don't have the access. I myself didn't know until I saw MediaWiki. If we're going to have one exception in the main namespace, shouldn't it be such that the title of the wiki can be on the front page? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::I agree with Tom. {{User:Salty/sig}} 02:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:Well, isn't there some sort of weird developer stuff (I know, I'm vague) that you could do to change the description at the top from "Article" to "Main Page"? I think that would solve the whole problem. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 02:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::I agree with seriously. Although I like Its dot comes Idea.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 03:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::Following with what Tom said, I completely disagree that Main Page should be changed to Homestar Runner Wiki. The front page is ''not'' the whole wiki, it's just the main page. It has links to the other pages that ''make up'' the Homestar Runner Wiki. The pratical use of a "Homestar Runner Wiki" page would be to talk about HRWiki, which would go under the HRWiki: namespace, therefore calling itself [[HRWiki:About]], which we already have. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Although it would be rater inconvenient. It may just be me, but that seems like to long of a title for the Main Page.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 03:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Lapper: I think you're splitting hairs here. The reason for the change isn't so that we have an article about the wiki itself, it's so that the words "[[Homestar Runner Wiki]]" will appear, as a title like in that link, at the top of the page all professional-like. I suppose one could make a case that a page called "Homestar Runner Wiki" is just fine for a table of contents of the wiki, and certainly "Talk:Homestar Runner Wiki" would be a good change, since the page is devoted to general discussion about wiki matters and isn't really used much to talk about the contents or format of the front page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::::That's not what I was saying; I was saying that that would be the pratical use for such a title. I prefer the term "Main Page", although "Talk:Main Page" is somewhat misleading, as most of the time it isn't for discussion of the Main Page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::It looks much better as Main Page. That might confuse some users.(Not too sure about that, but maybe.) Plus it already says Homestar Runner Wiki on it.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 03:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I'm happy with leaving it as Main Page. Sort of a "If it ain't broke..." type mentality, but at the same time I think it looks better and is more common and descriptive as it is. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I think we should make it the Homestar Runner Wiki way. It looks better and makes more sense. {{User:Dagger/sig}} 17:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:'''Support'''. I can see the arguments for both sides. The strongest argument against, I think, is that the main page is not the whole Homestar Runner Wiki, but just the entry portal. That being said, I can't see that confusing anyone or causing problems. "Homestar Runner Wiki" would look a little nicer, and it would make the purpose of this talk page more clear (it took me a long time to realize that discussions about the wiki in general were occurring here). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don't care too much, but I would prefer that it stay as the Main Page, for all the reasons above, and most people will already see from the logo that this is the HRWiki, and the Main Page title will complement it by saying that it's the main page. Plus, I don't want to stare at a note that I was redirected when I enter the site. '''Another Option:''' we could do what [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]] does, and cut out the title completely. Something inside me tells me that WP editors got into the same argument we are, and found this to be the best option to satisfy both sides. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:There would be a redirect message? If so, I agree; that would be ugly. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::No, there would be no redirect message, assuming you don't type all the way out to "/Main Page" each time you load the site. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:It would just look weird. Plus I like the word: Main Page as the title.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 19:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:Something to point out is the fact that Wikipedia ''can't'' do this, because they already have an article about [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|the encyclopedia itself]] in the same place where the title article would go. Most other wikis don't have this problem. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I'm kinda in between... on one hand, it really is the Main Page and that's a descriptive title ('Homestar Runner Wiki - Homestar Runner Wiki' would look weird but maybe that can be fixed). On the other hand, 'Homestar Runner Wiki' looks a ton nicer and more welcoming. I'll say I '''support'''. It wouldn't look like an article about the Homestar Runner Wiki any more than 'Main Page' looks like an article about the Main Page on H*R. {{User:Ed smildE/signature}}

:To support, I would have to see a benefit to the change, one that is a noticeable improvement over how it is now. If it is changed as proposed, we shall still have a name that does not adequately address the page. THe only problem I've seen noted about the current title is that it is "boring" - but being an encyclopedia, this wiki should not be trying to be "exciting", rather it should be noting what is exciting about Homestar Runner. Since I see no real benefit from such a change, I must '''decline'''.

:However, I counterpropose: '''change name''' to "Homestar Runner Wiki - Main Page". This allows the page to be identified as exactly what it is, but also serve as a suitable cover for the encyclopedia. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I support moving it to Homestar Runner Wiki.[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

::In response to [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]], although this is indeed a "compromise", I believe that that title is rather long, not only for a URL, but for the H1 title itself. Perhaps it is an accurate description, but it is slightly wordy. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:Why not move it into the HRWiki: namespace? There's no real reason why we couldn't... If the appropriate MediaWiki pages are changed, there's nothing stopping the main page from being [[HRWiki:Main Page]], or [[HRWiki:Homestar Runner Wiki]] or something like that... and it would answer the question about it ''being'' a Main Page, rather than being ''about'' a Main Page. And for those that are wondering: http://www.hrwiki.org/ would correctly load the right page, no "Redirected" message. [[Main Page]] would have to be kept as a redirect though, for people that have http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page bookmarked, or as an external link on their page. After enough time, it could concievably become a redirect to [[Main Pages]] with a disambig notice to the new main page, but that's a discussion for then, not now. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::Phlip's idea of HRWiki:Main Page holds merit, and I would '''support''' it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I would rather leave it unchanged than do that. To borrow a phrase, it is not a noticeable improvement over how it is now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:39, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::::"HRWiki:Main Page" is a pretty good compromise, and it might even solve the talk page ambiguity problem. "HRWiki talk:Main Page" ''does'' sound like the main talk page for the Homestar Runner Wiki. If "Homestar Runner Wiki" doesn't fly, I could definitely support this one. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
:I support either leaving it as [[Main Page]] or eliminating the page title a la Wikipedia. Moving the Main Page to [[Homestar Runner Wiki]] would be a bit too drastic in my opinion. {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 23:46, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::I don't think that's what they're planning to do, I think they'll just change the title a different way so the URL is still Main Page but the title displays Homestar Runner Wiki. Which, by the way, I '''support''' --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 18:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Dates for updates ==

They seem to be a month too far. Homestarrunner.com was last updated in May, yet the front page claims it was updated yesterday, which was exactly one month later than it actually was.
:No... It says 5-22-06. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::(S/He means the Wiki's front page claims it was updated yesterday, Dorian. :) ) —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:You're right, the last big update was in May. But there are several smaller updates that have been happening that are not noted on the HR.com main pages. The dates of the [[Podstar Runner]] releases and [[Store]] updates are indeed accurate. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

== Commercials ==

I really think that we should have a category for commercials. How would I go about creating one? It's not really that hard I think, but I just don't now how. Can somebody response. --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 20:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

::You can add <nowiki>[[Category:Commercials]]</nowiki> to any page that needs it, and it's link will be red at the bottom where the rest of the categories are. You can click on the red link to type a description of the category, then continue adding <nowiki>[[Category:Commercials]]</nowiki> to any page that needs it. Hope that helps. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 20:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

:Well if you believe that we need a category called that, then create it, and the community will decide if we need it.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 20:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

== Cool tape t-shirt ==

Someone forgot to add cool tape tshirt
From someone

:Working on it. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

== Page needs moving ==

See [[Talk:Witches' Brew#Written Brew|the talk]], which died before a consensus could be met. I don't know how else to point out that the page needs to be moved. [[User:86.136.134.76|86.136.134.76]] 21:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you for your notification and patience, 86.136.134.76. I've voted on the move. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Laundry Room of the Brothers Strong

Ju Ju Master — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 02:32:02 GMT

Ju Ju Master: "Real" is unnecessary, and sounds forced.

[[Image:LaundryRoom.PNG|thumb|Is The Cheat in there?]]

The '''Laundry Room''' is presumably where [[The Brothers Strong]] do their laundry. It has a dryer and the [[No Loafing Sign]] in it. [[Strong Bad]] once locked [[The Cheat]] in the dryer, although he really meant to lock [[Strong Sad]] in. [[Strong Mad]] later confronted Strong Bad about keeping [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] here. Strong Bad later uses it in a preview for his movie "Things That Go Dump In The Night", in which an unsuspecting Strong Sad looks in the dryer and is hit by a dead goose. The Cheat once again appears in the dryer in [[lady fan]], and had added a new dryer at that point.

In the email [[redesign]], Strong Bad updates the decor of the laundry room by adding a decorative border the upeer wall, and hot-gluing seashells to the dryer knobs.

Talk:Main Page

Ju Ju Master — Sun, 04 Jun 2006 15:04:05 GMT

Ju Ju Master:

{{Main Page Talk}}

== Kind of interesting ==

if only because we're explicitly mentioned. [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=251&topic=27885046] I've saved a screenshot of it if anybody wants to see it after they purge it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:35, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

This does not work anymore.

== All Articles Page ==

For the first time, I clicked on the [[Special:Allpages|articles]] link on the Main Page, and the text that was displayed was
<table style='background: inherit;'><tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/$11.01|$11.01]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/$11.01| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/$11.01|Keytar]]</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/Kick The Can|Kick The Can]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/Kick The Can| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/Kick The Can|Strongbadia]]</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits|Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits|pom pom]]</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/pom pom (email)|pom pom (email)]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/pom pom (email)| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/pom pom (email)|your friends]]</td></tr></table>

I stared at the page for a few minutes, certain that this seemingly random collection of words was vandalism before I realized that they were names of mostly obscure articles.

So, I'm wondering if there's a better way to present this page. I understand that the object of the page is to divide up the articles into sections of the alphabet, but what if the page instead displayed (for example)
<pre>
$ to K
L to R
S to o
p to y
</pre>
(with appropriate links, of course)

I'm just thinking that if this page was confusing to me, it must be very confusing for newcomers to the Wiki. The above reformatting (or something like it) would make a lot more sense to the uninitiated, I think. Thanks! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:21, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea, though maybe it could say "$ to Ki", to be more accurate. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

:It can't hurt to suggest that to the developers as an enhancement for future versions: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 17:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::Oh—is this an immutable part of the software? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Well, ''nothing's'' immutable. In fact, anyone who wants to can suggest changes to [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_6_5/phase3/includes/SpecialAllpages.php?view=markup the source file]. I personally, however, don't see this as a pressing need at this time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::::I see; thanks for your reply. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
If it's worth anything, that confused me as well, the first time I looked at it. {{User:Salty/sig}} 20:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:The thing is, that page is automagically generated. It just happened, that, at the time, [[Keytar]] was the 1000th page, alphabetically (I think it's paged by the 1000, anyway... rough count gives around that number). Sure, it's possible to make it "$ to Ki", etc, but look at it, it'd need to make it something like "$ to Ki", "Ki to Strongbadia", "Strongbadia's to pom pom", "pom pom ( to z" or something like that, just because of how it happened to split that time – not really any help at all. What you'd have to do is get rid of the fixed-size pages, and just page by the first letter of the name or something similar, but good luck getting someone to actually bother to code it – on a large wiki like Wikipedia that would result in ''massive'' pages (have you seen [[Wikipedia:Special:Allpages]]?) so the people who code MediaWiki are unlikely to want to code this as standard. We could probably add it ourselves separately, but (1) we have stopped making any changes until we get 1.6 working and (B) even after that, as It's dot com said, it's not really a pressing need – even if it's a little confusing at first it shouldn't take too long to work out, and [[Special:Allpages]] isn't a particularly useful page here anyway (in my opinion). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

::I'm not particularly attached to having that [[Special:Allpages|articles]] link on the Main Page. Joey [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=39356&oldid=39355 added it] a while back, and seeing as that page isn't particularly useful to first-timers or regular users in its present unmodified state, I move that we remove it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

== CAPTCHA Codes: A new look at editing or a swan dive overboard? ==
Hey everybody, whadda ya think about the CAPTCHA codes? You can post if it's a good idea or a bad idea. I think it's a bad idea, because they're so hard to read! And I think HRWiki's been a little ''too'' overprotective since The Incident.

:Just so you know, even if that's what you're thinking in your head, you really shouldn't post that in this thread. It's a very selfish way to put it and disrespects those who actually do donate.

On the main page boxes,where the recent updates and stuff art how'd they get the pics of the characters on em?

<div align="left" style="background:url('/skins/common/images/strongbad-background.gif') no-repeat bottom right;">You mean that guy? I believe it was [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]]. He took the image, changed The Colors on it, and added it to some technical place In the wiki software; something that requires Developer rights to do. Then he put it against a blue background, to make it all look nice. Hope that answers your question, sufficently. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC) </div>

== New main page style ==

:::::::just kinda... shiney and such.

::::::::I like it, but I don't like the gray backgrounds and the poster-SB/Homestar. {{User:Salty/sig}} 05:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Meh, I like it pretty well. Though it is a just teeny bit too, umm, modern (for lack of a better word). But it's still pretty good, says I. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

::::::::::Too modern? That's un-possible. I say we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
:Concept is good, but Homestar image is too hard to make out. SB is OK, but I wonder if there more text if that would be so. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:34, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
::I love the bars, but I'd like the slightly red and blue backgrounds for the tables to return- maybe in less pinky and baby blue colors. The Homestar is obscured as well, but overall, it's very stylish. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 05:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Qermaq: We had the same spacing problems with the old design, depending on the size of your browser window. I didn't attempt to even address that. This design is simply to move away from the pastel colors. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Actually, spacing wasn't a problem here. Just the overall look is less in-your-face than it could be, more subtle than optimal. Mind you, a little red/blue wasn't so bad. A touch of those colors in the background might tie the whole page together better. But the images should be a little more bold. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::I have implemented both of those suggestions. Remember, though, that subtle is good... we still have to be able to read text over the images. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
::::::As is, the background might be a little '''too''' bold. Is there a middle ground? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::::I went back to the gray on the left. The red was just a little much and made Homestar look kinda weird, and if we go to a lighter red then we're right back to pink. I think the gray helps him stand out a little, and I really like the blue on the right and how Strong Bad looks against it. I also reduced the size of the characters to match what we had before. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

::::::::I love it! Do you think we should change the [[HRWiki:The Stick]] background as well? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 13:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

:More of an artistic comment than a technical one, but I have a problem with the contrast of the main page style with the rest of the style. Basically, the reason that I liked the old style was that it's cartoony and soft-colors blended well with the rest of the site's design. I think that if the main page were just viewed alone, it would look very good. However, if we want to continue with a "modern metal" style, I think that we'd need a new background and a logo redesign, because the rest of the site is still very cartoony looking. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 14:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

::I agree about the contrast. The <s>two</s> <ins style="text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;">three</ins> color bars seem really "in your face." Sure, it's cool to use gradients once in awhile, but these particular ones are very sharp colors that just jump out at you in an unwarranted sort of way. Maybe fade them a little bit. --{{User:Soapergem/sig}} 14:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

:::My thoughts exactly. They look awesome, but they just don't fit with the rest oif the wiki. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 15:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

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

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email: It's like the sugar on the candy for my stuff.

''{reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Could you please do your impression 
of Strong Sad? 
 
Thanks, 
Your friend</blockquote>

''{pauses between "Dear" and "Strong"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and there's no name. Um... Thanks, Your friend... Jhonka.

''{He types "Jhonka" under "Your Friend", then starts typing his reply.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Jhonka! What a coincidence! I was just on my way out the door to go to the annual Strong Sad Lookalike Contest where contestants are judged on appearance, impression and penmanship. I'm a shoo-in this year, man. Wait'll you see my costume!

''{He runs offscreen, but runs back a few seconds later to say:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not beatin' around the bush this week.

''{Strong Bad runs off again. Cut to The Field. Coach Z is standing under a sign that reads: "2003 Sectional Finals — STRONG SAD LOOKALIKE CONTEST".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, I'd like to welcome everybody back! Hope you enjoyed your intermission there. Bubs, the hot cold cuts was great!

'''BUBS:''' ''{off screen}'' Those were moist towelettes!

'''COACH Z:''' So without further adieu, I'd like to introduce the man of the hour, the deathly pallor: Strong Sad!!

''{Strong Sad joins Coach Z under the sign}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{off screen}'' Booo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Thank you! Thank you! I'm simultaneously honored and insulted to be involved in this contest for the fourth year in a row.

'''COACH Z:''' That's enough there, Strong Sad! ''{He shoves Strong Sad out of the way.}'' Your work is done here. Let's get this pratty started!!

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad in a Strong Sad costume, which consists of a grey "Phys Ed" sweatshirt, a white beret, and a paper plate with Strong Sad's face drawn on it. There's a suspicious looking lump under the sweatshirt.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Lookin' good there, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

'''COACH Z:''' Nice use of light and shadow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

'''COACH Z:''' ...and picnic supplies.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know. Shut up.

'''COACH Z:''' Let's hear what you got.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Let me just push play on my "sweatshirt" here.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{on a tape}'' Why do you want me to say "Hello, my name is Strong Sad"? ''{He fast-forwards the tape}'' Get that tape-recorder out of my face ''{more fast-forwarding}'' Stop flickin' my ear!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{also on tape}'' More like: You stop flickin' ''my ear''!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He stops the tape.}'' Ha ha. Oops.

'''COACH Z:''' Ok, then. Very unsuspicious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

''{Coach Z moves on to Homestar Runner. Homestar is wearing hippo slippers and a grey shirt with a star on it, and he has a sock taped to his head instead of his signature hat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, there, Homestar. Nice hippo slippers.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks. They're elephants.

'''COACH Z:''' Sure they are! Now let's hear your impression.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... Remind me again what type stuff that guy says.

'''COACH Z:''' You know. Depressing-type stuff!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right! Here goes! Ahem. ''{in a depressing voice}'' Oh... Some animal died. ''{In his normal voice}'' That's something he's always saying, right?

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, I think I heard him say that a few times. Next contestant!

''{The next contestant appears to be Strong Sad.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Strong Sad, you're not eligible for this contest! I thought I told youse to go on home!

''{A familiar-looking hat pops up out of nowhere on the Strong Sad lookalike's head revealing that he is, in fact, Homsar. His Strong Sad costume is flawless. Coach Z doesn't realize who it is.}''

'''HOMSAR''': ''{sadly}'' AaAaAaAa... I'm cryin' on the inside!

''{The Cheat hops up in a paper bag, painted to look like Strong Sad's left leg.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, The Chort, lay it on me!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{in a depressing voice}'' Meh meh. Menemah mennah mennah meh.

'''COACH Z:''' Holy crap! It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today! First Prize!

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh! ''{Jumps up out of the bag, then lands back inside bag}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer. Strong Bad walks up muttering. He's still in costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid friggin' Cheat-in-a-Bag. ''{typing}'' I can't believe The Cheat won sectionals for the 4th year in a row dressed up as Strong Sad's left leg. I knew I should have gone for the bigger butt. ''{stops typing}'' Oh well. ''{resumes typing}'' At least I won the penmanship award. But I should get going if I'm still going to be fashionably late to the afterparty. ''{stops typing.}'' So, until next time, all the ladies and dudes say: ''{singing}'' "Strong Bad is a cool guy! And we're not cool in the least!"

''{Strong Bad leaves and [[The Paper]] descends.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Jhonka" to see just what a Jhonka is. (Once again, we are shown that Strong Bad likes trolls.)
<pre>JHONKA

The Jhonka are one of many
tribes of primitive, troll-like
creatures found in the lowlands
and throughout lesser dungeons.

Their low intelligence makes
them quite susceptible to toilet
humor and cheap gags such as
"Gimme five. Up high. Down
low. Too slow."

FREQUENCY: Common
INTELLIGENCE: Low
ARMOR CLASS: +2</pre>
*Click on "Bigger Butt" to see Strong Bad's alternative plans for his costume.
*Click on "Penmanship Award" to see Strong Bad's entry for the Strong Sad penmanship contest.
*Click on "afterparty" to see what happened at the afterparty.
=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
''{Homestar and Coach Z are standing in a room filled with a balloons. Homestar is dressed in his Strong Sad costume, "[[Poot Slap]]" is playing in the background, and Coach Z is holding a [[Cold One|Not So Cold One]].}''

'''COACH Z:''' I meant to tell you the sock on the head was a nice touch.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have a sock on my head? {''shaking back and forth''} Get it off, get it off, get it off, get it off, get it off, get it off, {''stops shaking''} get it off, get it off.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The "not beating around the bush" comment may refer to Strong Bad's normal way of not really answering an email's question. Alternatively, it may mean that there is no delay between his remark and his answer.
*Pallor means paleness.
*The gag referenced in the Jhonka Easter Egg refers to a absurd joke in which a sap is tricked into missing a high five.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad on the tape tells Strong Bad to stop flicking his ear, but Strong Sad doesn't have visible ears.
**Strong Bad also would have a hard time flicking something with boxing gloves for hands.
*The Cheat's costume has three toenails, whereas Strong Sad's [[Soolnds|soolnds]] only have two toenails each.
*In this email, Strong Bad shows excellent touch-typing skills as he finishes the email with a paper plate mask taped to his face. However, he seems to later lose this ability. In [[pom pom]], Strong Bad is unable to type while blindfolded.
*If you click on both the Bigger Butt and Penmanship Award Easter eggs at the end, the Penmanship award will always be on top, regardless of which order they are activated in.
*When viewing the flash file, the first time Coach Z speaks, the wood column on the right offscreen has the staples and torn pieces of paper in the exact same spots as in the left column.
*Strong Sad actually saying "Oh...some animal died" was made the Quote of the Week the same day this email appeared on the site.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad comes back to the computer after the contest, still wearing his costume, his hat is incorrectly mirrored in the screen's reflection.
*The form for the penmanship contest says 2004 Sectional Finals, however, the sign for the contest said 2003.
*At the end of the after party Easter egg, you can hear Strong Bad's voice, probably out of the beginning song for this email.
**This is because the easter egg is actually located at the beginning of the email, right after the loading screen, while most easter eggs are located after the email.
*Homestar's eyes reverse direction quickly before he slouches to do his Strong Sad impression.

===Inside References===
*At the after party Coach Z is drinking a "[[Cold One|Not So Cold One]]," from [[property of ones]].
*Strong Bad's comeback "More like, YOU stop flicking MY ear," is very similar to his comeback in [[50 emails]].
*The hat Strong Bad wears is similar to the hat Strong Sad originally wore in his original sketches seen in the [[Museum Sketchbook]].
*Coach Z's praise of The Cheat's costume ("It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today!") is another instance of [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|Strong Sad's imagined death]].

===Real-World References===
*The picture of Jhonka is reminiscent of the various humanoid creatures in [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]].
**In previous versions of Dungeons and Dragons, an armor class of +2 would be a decent defense rating. However, in the current incarnation of Dungeons and Dragons it would make the creature very easy to hit in combat.
*In the bigger butt Easter egg, Strong Bad drew the [[Wikipedia:Kangol|Kangol]] kangaroo above his cap. Kangol is a British clothier famous for this kind of hat.

===Fast Forward===
*The Jhonka plays a prominent role in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar also uses, "Oh... Some animal died" in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]].
*[[The Deathly Pallor]] will later become the name of Strong Sad's radio persona in [[radio]].

Trogdor

Ju Ju Master — Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:43:15 GMT

Ju Ju Master: /* How to draw Trogdor (according to Strong Bad) */ 2nd person'd

{{aboutcharacter}} {{forsong|Trogdor (song)}} {{forgame|TROGDOR!}} {{for|karaoke video|Trogdor (karaoke)}}

[[Image:A dragon.PNG|thumb|200px|"And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!"]]
'''Trogdor the Burninator''' is an S-shaped wing-a-ling dragon with a beefy arm that originated in the email [[dragon]]. Trogdor burninates the countryside, peasants, and thatched-roof cottages of [[Peasantry]]. He sprung from the wild imagination of [[Strong Bad]] when he was asked to show his "skills of an artist."

Trogdor quickly became more popular than [[The Brothers Chaps]] ever could have imagined, developing into one of the most recognizable figures from HomestarRunner.com, both on the Internet and in the real world. According to the [[Giant Magazine Interview]], the Trogdor shirt sold in the [[Store|store]] is the best-selling item there, even more than the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. Fans even dress up as the character as seen in [[Fan Costume Commentary]] and [[More Fan Costumes]], and even created some interesting [[Weekly Fanstuff|fanstuff]].

In his debut email, there is a heavy metal song about Trogdor with a music video drawn in pencil. According to [[dragon#Commentary Transcript|dragon's commentary]], there originally wasn't supposed to be a song in the email, but after [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] started singing it off the top of his head, The Brothers Chaps knew they had to put it in the email. The [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] contains an [[Trogdor (song)|extended version]] of the song. The song is also [[Trogdor (karaoke)|featured]] in [[KaraokeFun]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Two|DVD]]. [[Homestar Runner]] is the singer, and gets a score of 84 out of 100.

The goal of the [[Stand up arcade games|arcade]] game found in [[Strong Bad's Basement]] (called [[TROGDOR!]]) is to squish enough peasants required to achieve burnination, while at the same time avoiding [[The Red and Blue Knights]] and the Siamese archers. The player controls the anti-hero Trogdor. The game was naturally a fan favorite before the debut of Peasant's Quest.

In the game [[Peasant's Quest]], killing the Burninator is [[Rather Dashing]]'s goal. After Trogdor burninates his [[Thatched Roof Cottage|thatched-roof cottage]], he journeys to the Trog-Cave, only to get burninated by the dragon like many before him. In this game, Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M.

A [[20X6]] version of Trogdor, called [[Trogador]], was revealed at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk]], but did not appear in the Homestar Runner canon until [[Happy Trogday]] was released.

*'''Domicile:''' The Trog-Cave
*'''Debut:''' Email [[dragon]]
*[[:Category:Trogdor Filmography|Complete Filmography]]

== How to draw Trogdor (according to Strong Bad) ==
#Draw an S.
#Draw a more different S.
#Close it up real good at the top for his head.
#Using consummate V's, give him teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows.
#You can add smoke or fire.

Talk:The Periodic Table of Candy Elements

Ju Ju Master — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 01:27:58 GMT

Ju Ju Master: /* Keep Here */

==Put the table on its own page or in the toon's trivia section?==
Um, I'm not sure a page like this will be needed. I think the table (and following fun facts) in [[candy product]] are enough. ...I guess we'll see when it's finished. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 21:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:I concur. [[User:Mathgrant|Mathgrant]] 22:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I liked this information on the page itself, personally. This is information describing the toon, so I think it belongs on the toon's page. The graph isn't that unweildly, is it? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:''{In MLS Marzipan voice}'' Yeah, me too! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it looked a little awkward on the page, but i doubt it will appear in any other emails so it should stay with the candy product page itself. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 23:44, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::::All though I some what agree with Collin, this really deserves it's own page. It really look huge on the email page. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 00:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::I'm fine with it. Besides, it could be used to have a link from [[Marshie|Marshie's]] page to here as something about the whole marshmallow cloud thing. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]
::::::Well, if The Candy Bar gets its own page why shouldn't this? I don't think that'll appear again. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 01:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::The Candy Bar is an item. Tons of one-time items get there own pages. This is more of a... background. Plus this information is part of the email, so it belongs on its page. The Candy Bar page's is just supplementary, and not essential, to learning everything there is to know about the email. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 01:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::I have an idea. Lets put this on the Candy Bar Page Under Ingredients. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 02:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::"Uh, yeah. ''That's'' [[Fall Float Parade#Easter Eggs|not true]]." - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
What? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 02:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:These aren't the ingredients of the candy bar. Well, some of them may be, but not enough to be placed there. And were you even listening to my comment earlier? How would putting them on that page address the issues I brought up? -_-; - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, I gotta vote that this can probably just be shrunk and merged with the [[candy product]] page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't really like it on [[candy product]]. I vote for expanding it and leaving it here.
:: I suggested moving the periodic table here because when it was on the email page it was rather distracting and seemed out of place. There's no harm in its having its own page, and the email page's look is cleaner without it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
If it is eventually merged into [[candy product]], I'd like for it to be made smaller. It was way too big when it was on there before. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:52, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:If reducing its size is the price we have to pay for moving it, then I think we should leave it here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::We definitely wouldn't have to reduce it's size... I know I don't want to. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 20:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Second to all of that – it's too big to put on the article, and making it any smaller would be ugly. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
::::The image from the toon should certainly be in the article. The full table should not, though, in order to make the page less bulky. Remember, many users are on dialup and this bloats the page size considerably. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Physical screen space and the amount of transferred HTML do not necessarily correspond to each other. The table could be tiny or huge, but as long as it contains about the same amount of textual information, then it will weigh in at just under 6 KB. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::Agreed, the data size is what matters for download. But balance the current download with less scrolling and somewhat lighter download against a somewhat heavier download and much extra scrolling, and I think the current setup is preferable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::It should have its own section on the page, so viewers would not get confused. --[[User:Einstein runner|Einstein runner]]

==Colors of table==
I don't know whether to ask this here or on the toon talk or where, so I'll start here: Shouldn't we make the labels full black, or at least a darker color? They were only gray in the toon because they were a background element. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
:I was thinking that too. It sounds fine to me either way, but if we sharpen the black, we should probably sharpen the other colors too. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::I loaded the table into Photoshop and autocorrected the contrast. Then I used those values to resaturate the colors here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:07, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I for one would like to see the text more black. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::::The colors as they are now are what they would have been if they hadn't been lightened for the background. Besides, the dark blue color is nice. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Oh, I must have been remembering an old version. The text is fine now. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::Colours are now what they ''really'' would have been if it wasn't faded into the background. The table in the email is these colours, with a 17% alpha over the blue background. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::I realize you got your colors from the Flash file, but it doesn't take into account the filter (or transparency or whatever) that they used. As a result, the hues are all wrong. In particular, the green column should correspond to the ''finished'' green, not the bright yellow of the Flash shape. I have put the colors back to match the finished toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Trimmed down from my spiel on IRC, for everyone to see:
<blockquote style="font-family: monospace">
<Dot_com> Phlip: when I was correcting the colors the first time, if I just hit autocorrect and didn't hold the RGB values constant relative to each other, then I got what was in the Flash file 
<Dot_com> when I *did* hold them constant relative to each other, I got what's in the article, which preserves the hues 
<Phlip> maybe, but I think my version looks better, really 
<Dot_com> I disagree; we should match the *finished* product as close as possible 
<Dot_com> the only reason we didn't go with the really light version was because it was hard to read 
<Elcool> besides, Dot com's version looks better 
<Phlip> I disagree, I think it looks kinda grody 
<Phlip> especially the yellowy-greeny put down the left 
<Phlip> when the black was also that faded colour, in the toon, it looked ok because it looked like a watermark, and your eye compensated... but with the full black it all has a puke-green tint to it 
<Phlip> all or none 
<Phlip> and not that it really matters, but I made this image to check that the colours were right: [http://members.lycos.co.uk/phlipping/candytablefade.png] 
[...] 
<Phlip> it's just... if we wanted to make it look like the toon, we'd make it the faded bluey-gray on faded bluey-colours like it is in the toon. The only reason we didn't is because we want it to look better, and be more readable, yes? 
<Phlip> I say we should do that by undoing a filter and showing what TBC actually drew, and you say we should do that by adding another filter and resaturating the colours 
<Elcool> better - everyone prefer a different color 
<Elcool> more readable - yes. it is now 
<Phlip> mine ends up looking like pastels, yours ends up looking like it's underwater 
<Elcool> as long as it's readable and close to the toon... 
<Phlip> but that's the thing, it's not close to the toon now, not really, it's much more oversaturated 
<Phlip> look at the toon, you see them as a blue-tinted yellow, red, orange and blue 
<Phlip> yellow, pink, orange and blue 
<Phlip> look at the page, you see them as green, purple, brown and blue 
<Phlip> look at mine, you see them as non-blue-tinted yellow, red, orange and blue 
<Elcool> hmmm 
<Elcool> by re-re-relooking at the email 
<Elcool> i can see your point 
<Elcool> the left one does look more yellow then green 
<Elcool> so.... you got my vote 
<Dot_com> the one in the toon looks green 
<Phlip> yeah, but it's a very yellowy green, and looks different to the green in the article, despite being the same hue 
<Elcool> for me it's like Strong Sad: 
<Elcool> yellow 
<Phlip> 'cause in the toon you compare it to the blue writing and the blue background, on the page you compare it to the black writing and the white background. 
<Dot_com> er, I dont' see that 
<Phlip> as I said, you see it as a watermark and compensate... similar to those optical illusions where they copy something out of the background and paste it in the foreground, and make it look much smaller - you compensate based on context. 
<Phlip> well, I see it like that 
<Dot_com> I see it as a bolder version of the toon</blockquote>
I don't want to make this into a vote, especially for something so minor, but it would be nice to reach concensus on this... naturally I think the pastels look better. For comparison, [[:Image:Candytable.png|here]] is the faded table from the toon, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Periodic_Table_of_Candy_Elements&oldid=292473 here] is Dot com's green version and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Periodic_Table_of_Candy_Elements&oldid=292474 here] is my pastel version. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 15:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:After comparing them all side by side, I still favor the green version. The yellow version doesn't look like what's actually in the finished email at all. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
::I'm definitely with It's Dot Com here. I've seen both versions, and the yellow one just looks way off. The green one, on the other hand, seems like a perfect match. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 04:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

== 316 ==

You'll note the last "element" listed is number 316. Why choose that number? Well, ever watch a baseball game and see the "John 3:16" sign held up? That's the old "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." And it's the number for "Those Wafer Things". Why else choose this number? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:Or, it could be a completely random number... Google finds 172 million pages with "316" in them, of those about 25 million contain the word "John", and of those less than 1000 contain "For God so loved the world" (There are more if you put 3:16, but very few with just 316). Besides, the closest TBC have come to religious references in H*R is "Holy" in "Holy crap", and "xmas" in the filenames for the Decemberween toons... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
::Actually, there are [[Decemberween#References to Christmas|other times]] when TBC have referenced Christmas, but that's beside the point. It is an interesting coincidence, though, even though it probably is just, you know, a coincidence. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 12:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Which is why I put it here and not there. But it was interesting. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Uh... Maybe I'm just missing something, not really following religion, but... what do "those wafer things" have to do with John, God, and Jesus? -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Body of Christ, anyone? (Not that I'm Catholic.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::The only problem I have with this hypothesis is that I don't consider Communion wafers to be candy, and I hope neither do TBC. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::But they are indisputably wafers. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Ah, I see. I'm...not a churchgoer, so I didn't know about Communion wafers. Thanks for clearing up the connection. -[[User:YK|YK]] 09:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

== Kinda weird ==

In school I was learning about atoms and elements when the email came out.
:I was too. Do you go to St. Marks in Buffalo, New York? [[User:69.160.0.227|69.160.0.227]]
::Oo oo! Last semester, I took chemistry! totally FREAKY! It's like the twilight zone or maybe the outer limits. or not 00:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

== Category ==

This page needs to be catagorized. Any ideas from the wikiers out there?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over guitar music}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender containing a Nintendo Game Boy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeing The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So...

''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I— I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{He jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything except him and the swirl turns black and white. Strong Bad distorts horizontally and vertically, then "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip with a number of buildings drawn in it. A caption at the top of the panel reads "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding-

''{Camera shifts to the next panel, which shows an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. While in the comic, everything Strong Bad says is also shown in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says also appears in a speech bubble, and is not lip-synced.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad appears in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is shown from the chest up in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman appears in front of a red background with his arms in the air.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. A kitchen and bathroom sink are shown with the faucets running. The bathroom tap has the word "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{He jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump! ''{falls down three panels. There is a woman with a Big Knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}'' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of a cable running through a hole in the wall.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat?

''{Cut back to the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice is slightly distorted, and a speech bubble appears from the swirl}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat turns around and turns on the blender. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" from when he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to the Old-Timey stage. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on the stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him is a sign that reads "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". An audience can be seen silhouetted at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes! ''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector drawn field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}'' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP. ''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "up", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to closeups of the pear from two angles, its eyes google, then a closeup of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the medium shot, Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants...
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoey voice-over}'' Aw, man...

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsparilla]] is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. (The pronunciation "sass-parilla" is more common than "sar-sparilla," though, and the only spelling recognized in most dictionaries is ''sarsaparilla''.)
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed "too high." Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available, hence Strong Badman's choosing to live in his apartment rather than a secret underground lair.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*A freemason is a member of the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]], the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]] or any of their allied organizations ([[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc.) which fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]] and are often drunk to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.

===Trivia===
*This email is the longest email to date, almost a minute longer than [[flashback]], currently the next longest.
*When Strong Bad jumps from one panel to another in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel with an explosion, saying "TADAOW!", and a panel with Deutschman (from [[haircut]]), holding a chain of sausages, saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", which is the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears, so the fact they are mentioned is notable.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|rare]] occasion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the guitar [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*It is interesting to note that Strong Bad's alternate universe machine is also a time machine; the [[Old Timey]] world and the [[20X6]] world are not actually different universes, rather just time periods in the same universe. However, some theories in quantum physics state that different times are also alternate universes.
**This is consistent with [[2 emails]], in which [[Homestar Runner]] used a [[Blender|blender]] and a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] to make a time machine.
*This email introduces a new 'ridiculously huge when it's closed' frame to [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman's]] mouth animation.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.

===Goofs===
*During the comic scene, when the panel changes from "Because, mere mortal" to "Is rent controlled!", the panels underneath get changed.
*At the end, when the paper comes down, you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (Compare to Keyboard Strong Bad standing next to him.)
*During the recording session at the end, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the Alternate Universe Portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping.
*When all of the Strong Bads are warping in, the bottom half of the text on the Lappy is bigger and darker than the upper half, which is normal.
*In the vector scene, when Stinkoman says "To the left! To the right!" he is moving in the opposite directions from his point of view.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string.
*Strong Bad also confused the value of money and lengths of time in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's "Mash go on that blender" is based on similar lines from [[flashback]], ("The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive [[Jam Box|jambox]]"), [[strongbad_email.exe]] ("make your selection and mash go, moron!"), and [[Everybody Knows It]] ("Mash play on that jambox").
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The music in the Strong Badman comic is from [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]].
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells "Dawg".
*The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of," with the worst children's storybook-originating contests being the Strongest Man in the World Contest from the [[Original Book]] and the Ten-Step Footrace from [[flashback]].
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].
*"Number 1 jam" is a phrase previously used in [[time capsule]].
*Old-Timey Strong Bad previously used the word "Doppelgänger" to refer to Strong Bad in [[flashback]].
*Stinkoman's lyric "I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl!" is probably a reference to Strong Bad's desire for female emailers, as mentioned in the email rap of [[dragon]].


=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is more well known as an enemy from the ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' series of computer games. The plot for these games involved demons coming out of portals to hell.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "photoshopped" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively, to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" originated with Bill Cosby's "Dentist" routine, which was later popularized by the character Mushmouth from ''[[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]''.
* The way Strongbad travels from panel to panel while visiting Strong Badman may be inspired by the videogame [[Wikipedia:Comix Zone|Comix Zone]].
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]. Though Strong Bad sarcastically calls her creators "geniuses", She-Hulk was co-created by the legendary comic book artist [[Wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] and [[Wikipedia:John Buscema|John Buscema]]. Interestingly, She-Hulk comics are noted for their fourth-wall breaks, similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel.
* Homestar's unusual speech in the surreal Coach Z easter egg is based on a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]]. (Strong Sad had cited Lynch as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].) The actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here).
**The red drapes in the background of this scene resemble the red drapes in the Black Lodge in the referenced episode of Twin Peaks. Agent Dale Cooper spills black coffee on himself in that scene, similar to Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee.
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]] theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'.
* The all-star super group recording a number one jam calls to mind [[Wikipedia:USA for Africa|USA for Africa]], a group of forty-five U.S. musicians that collaborated on the number one single "We Are the World" in 1985, the profits from which were used for famine and disease relief in Africa.
*The [[Fonts|font]] in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]] comics.
* The [[Sound Effects|sound effect]] in the fishing Easter egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_with_John Fishing With John]

== Hey! ==
This is really embarrassing if you're not new, but I see that you don't have a talk page yet, a User Page, and I haven't really seen you around here much. So if you're not new, feel free to punch me in the face and DELETE this, but if you are new, I would suggest reading this (when I was new, I read it, and now I'm cool and popular!).

Hey Tim. It's a goal of mine to make the STUFF instructions as easy as possible for everyone to understand, and so I'm interested in your feedback: Were my instructions on [[User_talk:Jay#Fact_to_STUFF|Jay's page]] helpful? I know you haven't had another chance to STUFF a fact yourself, but you can use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]] to test things in the meantime if you want. If there's anything that's confusing, let me know, so that it can be reworded. Thanks. (By the way, I'm the one who STUFF'd your fact for you.) Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

<hr width="60%">

Hey Tim. It's Dot com again. I think you've got a good fact over at [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]], but I wanted to discuss the revision a little. The quote is ''"a free cup of ice with purchase of a deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value."''
*If Bubs is '''not''' willing to give a deluxe cup as the free cup of ice, then he doesn't ever have to honor the offer, which is what your original wording says.
*On the other hand, if you buy a deluxe cup and Bubs '''is''' willing to give a deluxe cup as your free cup of ice, then the offer works, because the cups are of equal value. It's the '''only''' way the offer would work, and so that's what the revision says.
Do I think Bubs would give a deluxe cup as the free cup? No, I don't. After all, this is the guy who charges you five dollars just for [[Store#Easter Eggs|saying thank you]] after you buy something. '''But I can't know that for sure.''' The revision takes '''both''' of the above possibilities into consideration, which is why I support the revision. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:27, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree with you. i didn't at first when i was looking over STUFF this morning, but I misunderstood, that's why i reverted my own edits. Sorry about the confusion. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
::I went ahead and removed the extra bit you added to the revision. The main reason was that it added unnecessary speculation. Also, minor wording and spelling fixes are allowed, but you can't make such substantial additions or alterations to an item as that.<div style="text-indent:1.5em">The instructions state that only the ''bottommost'' accept vote counts, so I have removed the upper one. Please review my edits and make any fixes, if necessary. I'm sorry for any confusion. Overall, this was a good catch! Good prize! If it's accepted (which my early guess is that it will be), then you'll deserve combolations for finding it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:41, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)</div>

Hey Tim. It's Dot com again. I think you've got a good fact over at [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]], but I wanted to discuss the revision a little. The quote is ''"a free cup of ice with purchase of a deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value."''
*If Bubs is '''not''' willing to give a deluxe cup as the free cup of ice, then he doesn't ever have to honor the offer, which is what your original wording says.
*On the other hand, if you buy a deluxe cup and Bubs '''is''' willing to give a deluxe cup as your free cup of ice, then the offer works, because the cups are of equal value. It's the '''only''' way the offer would work, and so that's what the revision says.
Do I think Bubs would give a deluxe cup as the free cup? No, I don't. After all, this is the guy who charges you five dollars just for [[Store#Easter Eggs|saying thank you]] after you buy something. '''But I can't know that for sure.'''

*I'm glad to hear that I was a little help. And feel free to add pix to your page. You can use any from the site or my User Page. If you don't know how, just tell me the pic you want and I'll put it on your page. Cool? Cool. ''(under breath) i think i have a new homeslice.'' [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 18:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Another Notice? Annoying, huh? ==
*Do you want me to correct-grammar-and-spelling-tize your user page? I won't change the info, just the typos. I just wasn't sure if you did it purposely. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 19:44, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It's really no probalo and it kinda annoys me. I've been called a stickler for grammar, person-who-pays-too-much-attention-in-Language-Arts-class, Bad Grammar Blow Up Guy, etc. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Man am I ANNOYING? ==
You're Bubs quote thing's picture wasn't comeing up, so I added a pic that suited the quote. Revert it if you don't like. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== STUFF Stuff ==
Hey Tim. It's a goal of mine to make the STUFF instructions as easy as possible for everyone to understand, and so I'm interested in your feedback: Were my instructions on [[User_talk:Jay#Fact_to_STUFF|Jay's page]] helpful? I know you haven't had another chance to STUFF a fact yourself, but you can use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]] to test things in the meantime if you want. If there's anything that's confusing, let me know, so that it can be reworded. Thanks. (By the way, I'm the one who STUFF'd your fact for you.) Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

<hr width="60%">

Hey Tim. It's Dot com again. I think you've got a good fact over at [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]], but I wanted to discuss the revision a little. The quote is ''"a free cup of ice with purchase of a deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value."''
*If Bubs is '''not''' willing to give a deluxe cup as the free cup of ice, then he doesn't ever have to honor the offer, which is what your original wording says.
*On the other hand, if you buy a deluxe cup and Bubs '''is''' willing to give a deluxe cup as your free cup of ice, then the offer works, because the cups are of equal value. It's the '''only''' way the offer would work, and so that's what the revision says.
Do I think Bubs would give a deluxe cup as the free cup? No, I don't. After all, this is the guy who charges you five dollars just for [[Store#Easter Eggs|saying thank you]] after you buy something. '''But I can't know that for sure.''' The revision takes '''both''' of the above possibilities into consideration, which is why I support the revision. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:27, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree with you. i didn't at first when i was looking over STUFF this morning, but I misunderstood, that's why i reverted my own edits. Sorry about the confusion. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
::I went ahead and removed the extra bit you added to the revision. The main reason was that it added unnecessary speculation. Also, minor wording and spelling fixes are allowed, but you can't make such substantial additions or alterations to an item as that.<div style="text-indent:1.5em">The instructions state that only the ''bottommost'' accept vote counts, so I have removed the upper one. Please review my edits and make any fixes, if necessary. I'm sorry for any confusion. Overall, this was a good catch! Good prize! If it's accepted (which my early guess is that it will be), then you'll deserve combolations for finding it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:41, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)</div>
:::That's ok, thanks for your help. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 21:45, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I replied to your comment [[HRWiki_talk:STUFF#My_eyes.21|here]]. Could you be a little more specific? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:33, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, It's just really bugging me, because I can't remember what SBEmail this [[Image:Fly_Bubs_Stand.png|45px|]] image was from. Do you know? I'm only asking because you have it on your user page. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 00:49, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:It's from [[personal favorites]]. Strong Bad drinks a bottle of soy sauce and trys to fly the concession stand to the moon, while The Cheat drinks a bottle of soy sauce and trys to eat the concession stand. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 02:04, 6th September 2005 (BST)

Oh, yeah it was just clogged from my memory. Anyways, thanks. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 01:32, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

: You've stolen my throne, Venusy! STolen my throne!

: I mean my time to shine, but yeah, it's oin Personal Favorites. Good times... [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 22:48, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Images ==

Ju Ju Master!!! My main man!!! I just noticed you had 7 personal images when the limit is 1. Please mark 6 with <nowiki>{{delete|personal images}}</nowiki> so everything stays far on the wiki. Thanks. :)
:(Here is a list of them [[:Image:Fly Bubs Stand.png]], [[:Image:canofpeas.png]], [[:Image:Image:longpants.png]], [[:Image:tonystony.png]], [[:Image:tonystony.png]], [[:Image:homestar throw tape.png]], [[:Image:blood hurts.png]]. Thanks. {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 08:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
*Oh, sorry, i didn't know I couldn't do that. How do I add an external image to my userpage? - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 21:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
::Just take an Image you want and upload it on [http://img366.imageshack.us/ ImageShack].--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
:::No, I have a website I can put the images on, I just ned to know the code. I'm not used to wiki coding yet, maybe someday. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 23:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Hey Ju Ju Master. I deleted most of the images you marked for deletion, but there are still two (Fly Bubs Stand and tonystony) that are linked to your page. I just wanted to point that out, because once they're deleted, they will show up as broken links. I'll hold off on deleting them for a minute to give you a chance to make any adjustments. Also, Fly Bubs Stand is here on your talk page in the section above this one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::I know, I didn't tgake them off because it's prettyy much a waste, it'd become a broken link anyways until i find out how to put external images on my page. If all; goes well I'll get rid of the blood hurts one, too, but not yet. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 23:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

== Double acceptance ==

Hey Ju Ju Master. Currently, only one vote to accept counts (either the original version or the revision), so I removed one of your accept votes. Ordinarily, only the ''bottommost'' vote would count, but since we're trying to eliminate the revision (it has no chance), I left your vote on the original version. You should click [[Template:STUFF/bedtime story|here]] and see what I did and make any adjustments, if necessary. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:09, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
*Oh, ok, thanks. I saw that the original was gettign mroe votes, but there was also a revision, but I wasn't sure which to vote on, so I voted for both. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 00:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

== Welcome to Corneria! I like swords! ==

Some particular reason you've been welcoming old vandal names to the Wiki? Like Willy on Wheels? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

* What? Those were vandals? Oh shoot, sorry about that! I was checking out the user creation log to welcome people.

But if he ws an old candal, why was he on the user creation log? Thanks for the info - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 02:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

User talk:PRE...

Ju Ju Master — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 02:14:42 GMT

Ju Ju Master:

== Welcome! ==

Hey PRE... I’m Ju Ju, and if you’ve already have gotten one of these messages, feel free to just DELETE! this, but if not, I’m here to welcome you to the HRWiki! We’re glad to have you here, and hopefully you have some things to contribute to our knowledge base. Now, if you’ve never used a wiki before, you might be a bit confused. Really, all a wiki is is a giant knowledge base that anyone can edit and improve. First off, I suggest you read the [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]], so you can get familiar with our policies, they’re pretty simple. Then, to get famillair with the code used to make pages here, you can play around in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]. Feel free to put anything there and play around with the buttons, but make sure it’s appropriate, no swears or anything. If you’re ready to help us improve the wiki, check out [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]], that’s the center of our community, so you can see what needs to be done over there. If you have anymore questions, check out [[Help:Contents|help]] page with some frequently asked questions. If it’s not there, feel free to ask me or anyone else on the welcoming committee, we’re all happy to help.

Oh, and you’re probably wondering about this page you’re on right now. This is your talk page, where people will leave you messages, like I did with this one (Which by the way you can delete when you’re done with, it’s your page). More importantly, however, is your userpage. You can put anything you want there, stuff about you, pictures, quotes, it’s all up to you. You can get there by clicking your name in the top right corner of any page.

And one more thing, my favorite, is the [http://forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum]. I spend most of my time over there, so be sure to check that out.

So, if you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask. That’s what we’re paid to do. Well, at least I wish we were paid.

Have fun! - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 02:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

(Oh, and a helpful note; you can make a signature like I did above using four of these ~ in a row. Three ~s make your name, four make your name with the date and time, and five ~s make just the date and time. Helpful little trick)

HRWiki:Welcoming committee

Ju Ju Master — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 23:39:35 GMT

Ju Ju Master: /* Members */

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.

==Transcript==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

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

''{Cut to Homestar Runner}''

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

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

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

''{More spooky music}''

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

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

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

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:WalkingwithTrogdor.PNG|thumb|Walking with Trogdor]]
[[Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|thumb|Who actually made all those fence drawings...]]
*After Strong Bad says "Corn Army", click on CA in the email to see a [[Teen Girl Squad]] frame of A Mighty Warrior taking on the [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#The Corn Army|Corn Army]].
:'''A MIGHTY WARRIOR:''' The corn army is no match for A Mighty Warrior!
*Click on "CG Dinosaur Channel" to see Trogdor walk on the screen, advertising "Walking with Trogdor".
*By viewing the Flash file, when the "ancient fence drawings" are going by, the following text is written in juvenile handwriting outside of the viewing area:
<blockquote>
by strong 
bab 
agɘ 5
</blockquote>
*Click on "startling" at the end to see a scene with Strong Bad and Bubs.
:''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding one of the Bear-Shark ice cream bars}'' So this is supposed to be the bear holding a shark? Looks more like...Morgan Freeman.
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, right! That's what it is! Now gimme twenty extra bucks for that Shawshank style.
*Click on "Biscuitdoughhandsman" to see Coach Z reporting an incident.
:''{Cut to Coach Z, standing in silhouette in front of a dark background. A caption appears reading "This guy's voice has been digitally altered again"}''
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{with voice digitally altered}'' So there I was, minding my own creepy business, when I found this severed hand in the lacker room! ''{He holds up a biscuit with a bite taken out.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*"CG" is short for "Computer graphics".
*"[[Wikipedia:Telephone (game)|Telephone Game]]" is a game for children where a message is whispered from one participant to another, along a group, causing the message to be increasingly distorted as time progresses.

===Trivia===
*The T-shirt in Bubs' Concession Stand reads: "My baby got stole by a bear holding a shark!"

===Remarks===
*The location given in the star chart, 118 degrees north and 28 degrees west, is impossible. As on earth, 118 degrees north does not exist in star chart notation.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad is introducing Strong Badia for the first time, his right arm is briefly missing.
*If you click on the Trogdor easter egg directly before the static, the egg will appear over the static and disappear as soon as it arrives in Strong Badia.
*Although Strong Bad berates the email's author for combining two words into one ("Strongbad"), he includes the word "rollercoasters" in his reply. "Roller coaster" consists of two separate words.

===Inside References===
*The ancient fence drawings include another appearance of [[Pie|pie]].
*A Mighty Warrior first appeared in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], and has mentioned corn each time he has appeared.
*[[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] first appeared in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
**While this character's name is normally made up of multiple words, it has previously appeared as a single word in one of the Easter-egg reviews of Strong Bad's [[rock opera]].
*The constellation scene features the [[Strong Badia|Strong Badian]] flag's snake, the [[Painting of a guy with a big knife|big knife guy]] and his knife, and [[General Tso's Chicken]], which all had connections to Strong Badia in the past.
*The fish constellation's 'fro wig also appeared in [[monument]].
*Coach Z's voice was digitally altered before in [[couch patch]].
*The Cheat was revealed to be scared of the Bear-Shark in [[date]].
*Strong Sad's [[Soolnds]] are mentioned again.
*The "Bear Holding A Shark" ice cream bar is similar in style to the [[Ice Cream|ice cream bars]] of Homestar Runner, [[Pom Pom]] and Strong Bad, as seen in the [[Museum]].
*"Strong Bab" is a reference to [[The Secrets That I Keep]], in which Strong Sad's birthday card was signed the same way by [[Lil' Strong Bad]].
*Homestar Runner's pronunciation of "monsterman," as one word with the last syllable unaccented, matches the pronunciation of "[[Santaman]]".
*The cottage and Trogdor sprite used in the "Walking with Trogdor" Easter egg come from the game [[TROGDOR!]].
*One of the fence drawings appears to be a thatched-roof cottage being burninated.
*The woman who apparently had her baby stolen on the fence drawing looks somewhat like [[What's Her Face]].
*Once again Homestar refers to Pom Pom as "his dog". He was previously called that in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

===Real-World References===
*"Walking With Trogdor" is a reference to the TV special [[Wikipedia:Walking With Dinosaurs|Walking With Dinosaurs]], which features CG dinosaurs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Don't you wanna email, don't you need a email, don't you turn your life around!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: little help, please</div>
Dear Strong Bad; 
I'm a middle school technology teacher. I would really 
appreciate it if you could come up with an introduction I 
could use for my new classes. Thanks. 
Jay 
Oswego NY
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Oswego NY" as "Oswego to New York" with "Oswego" in a sing-song voice, as if saying "Off we go!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You would ''really appreciate'' it? That's it? Man, back in the olden ''{pronounces "olden" as ol-dén}'' days, I could get upwards of 3 chickens, a sack of barley and a half-dead goat all for doing one of my technology intromercials. ''{clears screen}'' Well, I sure hope JCPenney's accepts really appreciate it's, 'cause I know for a fact they stopped taking ''{exaggerates voice}'' I'll be your best friend's ''{returns to normal}'' a while ago. Either way, middle school kids are all idiots and they need as much of my help and guidance as they can get.

''{Strong Bad gets up. Cut to a classroom with Strong Bad in a white lab coat, the words "I'M USING TECHNOLOGY" written on the blackboard and a poster with a drawing of a computer captioned "computers don't BYTE".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{slightly robotic tone}'' One, zero zero, one one, zero, one, one zero, one one zero, zero one. ''{normal voice}'' You may not have understood me, but I was speaking technology.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad's head in the lab.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The word technology... means... magic. It's basically anything that's really cool that you don't know how it works. And if it breaks, you have to buy a new one. Why, I've got some technology beneath my pants right now! Whoo-ya!

''{Cut to the full classroom shot again. Strong Bad takes a 5¼" floppy disk with the logo "5.25 power" from behind him, throws it in the air and catches it in his right hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is a diskette. Diskettes were invented by computers to help us. Like how cows—

''{A crude drawing of a cow replaces the text on the blackboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —invented milk.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The two warring factions of diskettes are floppy disks—

''{He shakes the 5¼" disk, emphasizing its floppiness.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and hard disks.

''{He lifts an unlabeled 3½" floppy disk in his right hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I prefer ''{hides the 3½" disk}'' these big ones because they hold more memory, although you have to ''{crumples the 5¼" disk}'' fold them up to fit them into these new computers.

''{Camera pans right to center on the "computers don't BYTE!" poster. Strong Bad drops the crumpled disk and continues.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another thing you'll need is your very own email address.

''{Cut to a [[Tandy 400]]-like computer screen with an orange envelope labeled "email".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just take your favorite hobby,—

''{The words "soccer", "ballet", "nachoeating", "skater", "fire", "football", "racecar" and "swimteam" alternate under the envelope and stop on "swimteam".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — add kid, grrl, pie or izzle—

''{The words alternate next to "swimteam" as he speaks them, then being replaced by "pie".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and put a bunch of numbers at the end!

''{The number "33331" appears next to "pie". The address is completed with "@kindergartencop.edu" appearing on the next line. Then, cut to the classroom with a picture of a robot marching towards a city and the text "gank gank!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a robotic voice}'' Robots are technology shaped like square people. ''{returns to normal voice}'' They are primarily used for destroying Japan and serving hors d'œuvres.

''{The Cheat walks up to Strong Bad with a plate of hors d'œuvres, making robotic noises and encased in what appears to be an upside-down metal pail. The pail has bolts drawn on it in black marker and light bulbs sticking out of holes cut in the sides.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheatbot! I would love a stuffed grape leaf! ''{grabs one and eats it}''

''{Cut to The Field, where the lab-coat wearing Strong Bad and "The Cheatbot" are standing next to Pom Pom, who is talking to someone on his PDA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Originally, tellular cellaphones ''{indicating Pom Pom's PDA}'' were for sending misspelled messages to your friends, telling them where you are in the food court.

'''POM POM:''' ''{makes a few bubbling noises directed at Strong Bad, then resumes his conversation}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom just bought movie tickets with his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks annoyed and makes more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, he just watched a movie ''on'' his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry at Strong Bad, makes more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh oh ''oh''! Pom Pom just wrote, directed, produced, and ''distributed'' a movie with his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{answers an incoming call and makes a few more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and he just got into Sundance! High-five, brother!

''{Pom Pom absorbs his PDA into his body, produces a pair of sunglasses and a water bottle, and bounces off, "drinking" from the water bottle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding out for the high-five a bit longer}'' Uh, cool, right. I'll, uh... see you later. ''{waits a bit, then turns to The Cheat}'' What are you still doing here, The Cheatbot?

''{Cut back to the classroom, where the blackboard now reads "THE FUTURE??" in large letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The future of technology, or at least what people won't shut up about, is wireless. You know, things like—

''{The view zooms in on the blackboard, which displays drawings of each of the items Strong Bad mentions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —walkmans, flashlights, and solar calculators.

''{He pops up in front of the blackboard and holds up a "Cakkalater" brand calculator which has the digits "53045 3080" typed in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I can make mine say "oboe shoes"!

''{He turns the calculator upside-down so that the digits resemble the words "OBOE ShOES". Cut back to the Lappy, as Strong Bad sits back down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's the Lappy, which rules over technology with a 42 pound, allegedly portable fist. Watch as it magically saves this screen.

''{Strong Bad types "screen_savior.exe" on a new line, bringing up a screen saver that resembles a primitive 3D maze. The words "Strong Bad gots the style" are written on the wall at every turn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The screen is saved, man. This thing's gonna last like 50 years! Alright, awkward children, I'm all done kickin' my tech-knowledge. Now leave me alone! Got to find my way out of these catacombs...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling to himself}'' Left... left... no, right... no, left... right... just keep goin'... Strong Bad... style...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after some time}'' Where are you taking me, Lappy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after another delay}'' Man... I throwed up all over this maze.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the words "half-dead goat" for a picture of a goat with the caption: "Do you see this goat as half-dead or half-alive?"

*Click the left side of the Lappy's screen at the end to see Strong Bad and Strong Sad arguing over floppy/hard disks.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' I keep telling you they're ''both'' floppy disks!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' You think ''this'' is a floppy disk?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, it is!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not a hard disk? ''{he hits his desk with the disk three times}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' No.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you sure about this?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Absolu- ''{Strong Bad throws the disk in his face}'' Ow!

*Click the right side of the Lappy's screen at the end to see Bubs selling Wireless Extension Cords.
:'''BUBS:''' Get your wireless extension cords. Three for three hundred! Lightweight, existent, and shockproof!
:''{Homestar peeks out from the left edge of the screen}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... I'll take fooour! ''{he flies up the left screen edge and disappears}''

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*When Strong Bad "speaks technology," he is speaking in [[Wikipedia:Binary numeral system|binary code]], where each 1 or 0 is a bit.
**A [[Wikipedia:Byte|byte]] is an ordered collection of 8 bits.
*There are two kinds of disks shown in the email, 5¼" and 3½", and they are both [[wikipedia:floppy disk|floppy disks]] (meaning Strong Sad was correct). Note that not only does Strong Bad misidentify the 3½" floppy disk, but he incorrectly states that the larger disk has more memory. The smaller one has more disk space.
**In a 3½" floppy disk, the disk itself is flexible, hence the name "floppy disk", even though it is inside a hard case. In a hard disk, the disk itself is inflexible.
*A [[wikipedia:hard disk|hard disk]] or hard drive (more correctly: "hard disk drive") is a storage unit for computer files that is usually located inside the computer and, therefore, not portable. Though recent technology has made hard drives that are both external and portable, the disk in Strong Bad's hand is ''not'' a hard disk.
*A [[Wikipedia:Catacomb|catacomb]] is any network of caves, grottos, or subterranean place that is used for the burial of the dead, or it can refer to a specific underground burial place.

===Trivia===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#gold_rush|gold rush]]".
*Taken as a whole number, Strong Bad's sequence "10011011011001" represents the number 9945. In 7-bit [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]], this sequence represents the letters "<tt>MY</tt>".
**This sequence is also a [[wikipedia:palindrome|palindrome]].


===Remarks===
*You cannot actually fold a 5¼" floppy disk to make it work in a 3½" drive. Attempting to do so will destroy the media (and possibly damage the disk drive).
*The screensaver goes in an endless loop of Forward, Turn Right, Forward, Turn Left, as shown here:
<code>
---- end
|
|---- end
| |
end |---- end
| |
end |...
</code>

*Strong Bad has referred to the 3½" disks as floppy disks in the email [[funny]].
*The number on the chalkboard solar calculator, 3.14, is the most common approximation of [[Wikipedia:pi|pi]].
*A typical solar calculator has space for only 8 numbers. Strong Bad's has 10.
**This calculator is also able to insert spaces between numbers, which normal calculators can't do.

=== Inside References ===
*Pom Pom's ring tone is the indietronic remix of [[The Geddup Noise]], heard in the email [[geddup noise]].
*The "kindergartencop.edu" domain was also used in [[unused emails]], for the email address that Bubs sends spam to.
*The Lappy being 42 pounds and portable is also mentioned in [[animal]], when it first debuted.
*This is another appearance of [[Goats]].
*Homestar flying up the side of the screen bears a resemblance to many instances of [[Homsar]] doing similar things.
*The Cheatbot's sounds are nearly identical to those he makes in the intro to the news program in [[local news]].
*When Strong Bad is describing how to create an e-mail address, there are references to both '[[Grrl|grrl]]' and '[[Pie]]'.
*This is another instance of the [[Food Court]].

* During the screen saver, Strong Bad says, "Left, left, no! Right, left...", simillar to Homestar's mistake in [[Trogdor Con '97]]

=== Real World References ===
*Strong Bad's binary sequence sounds very similar to the song "10001110101" by [[Wikipedia:Clutch (band)|Clutch]].
*The "catacombs" screensaver on the Lappy is reminiscent of the "3D-Maze" screen saver first introduced in [[Wikipedia:Windows 95|Windows 95 OSR-2]]. It is also similar to the 1991 DOS game [[Wikipedia:Catacomb_Abyss|Catacomb Abyss]].
*''[[imdb:tt0099938|Kindergarten Cop]]'' is a movie starring [[Wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold Schwarzenegger]] as an undercover cop, posing as a teacher.
*[[Wikipedia:Sundance Film Festival|Sundance]] is an annual independent film festival in Park City, Utah, founded by actor Robert Redford and also a US pay cable television channel showing similar films. The name refers to Redford's portrayal of The Sundance Kid in the film [[IMDB:tt0064115|Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.]]
* Pom Pom's [[Cell Phone|cell phone]] looks like a Palm Treo 600, 650, or 700w.
* Pom Pom drinks from what appears to be a Nalgene water bottle, a brand popular with college students and Hollywood artist types.
*[[Wikipedia:J.C. Penney|JCPenney]] is a large chain of department stores commonly found in malls.
*Pom Pom's cell phone says "Incoming Call: Bob Redford", referring to American actor [[Wikipedia:Robert Redford|Robert Redford]].
*"Do you see this goat as half-dead or half-alive?" is a reference to the famous expression "[[Wikipedia:Is the glass half empty or half full|Do you see this glass as half-empty or half-full?]]", a psychological question often used to determine if a person is optimistic or pessimistic. It is also a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:schrodingers cat|Schrodinger's cat]] experiment which involves an experiment wherein an unobserved cat is in a quantum superposition of being alive and dead.
*In [[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPGs]], [[Wikipedia:Gank|gank]] is slang for a player attacking and killing another player who is at extreme disadvantage.
*Strong Bad's definition of technology may be a spoof on [[Wikipedia:Clarke's three laws|Clarke's third law]]: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Most middle-school technology classes begin with the definition of technology, which is the use of tools, materials, and knowledge to solve problems and do tasks efficiently.
*The first item to appear written on the blackboard is "I'm using technology," a lyric from the Stooges song Search and Destroy--"Look out honey, ’cause I’m using technology."
*Coincidentally, on the morning that this email appeared, NPR's Morning Edition aired a [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5175556 story] about movies filmed with cell phones.
*The poster that says ''computers don't BYTE'', the font used for BYTE is the same font used in [[Wikipedia:BYTE|BYTE magazine]]. The computer on the poster also resembles an [[Wikipedia:Apple IIe|Apple IIe]].
*When Strong Bad says he will be "Kicking (his) new Tech-Kuh-Nowledge", he is referencing the [[Wikipedia:Beastie Boys|Beastie Boys]], in particular "The Sounds Of Science" on [[Wikipedia:Paul's Boutique|Paul's Boutique]]. The lyrics go "''I've been dropping the new science and kicking the new knowledge An M.C. to a degree that you can't get in college''", in which "Knowledge" is pronounced with the "K" in the way Strong Bad does in the toon.
*"Intromercial" is a play on [[Wikipedia:infomercial|"infomercial"]], a commercial that usually lasts at least half an hour, often called "paid programming".

===Explanations===
*There are two kinds of disks shown in the email, 5.25" and 3.5", and they are both [[wikipedia:floppy disk|floppy disks]] (meaning Strong Sad was correct). Note that not only does Strong Bad misidentify the 3.5" floppy disk, but he incorrectly states that the larger disk has more memory. The smaller one has more disk space.
*A [[wikipedia:hard disk|hard disk]] or hard drive (more correctly: "hard disk drive") is a storage unit for computer files that is usually located inside the computer and, therefore, not portable; however, recent technology has made hard drives that are both external and portable.
*When Strong Bad "speaks technology," he says "10011011011001", which is [[wikipedia:Binary_numeral_system|binary code]] for 9945. If you split the string in half and convert the two pieces ("1001101" and "1011001") into letters via the [[wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII chart]], it spells "MY", but if you use a binary translator like [http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php this one] and translate it as a whole, it translates it to ��. The "MY" translation is it compensating for the incomplete string and adding 2 characters. The alteration is shown below, with added characters bolded.

*A [[wikipedia:Catacomb|Catacomb]] refers to any network of caves, grottos, or subterranean place that is used for the burial of the dead, or it can refer to a specific underground burial place.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Don't you wanna email, don't you need a email, don't you turn your life around!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: little help, please</div>
Dear Strong Bad; 
I'm a middle school technology teacher. I would really 
appreciate it if you could come up with an introduction I 
could use for my new classes. Thanks. 
Jay 
Oswego NY
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Oswego NY" as "Oswego to New York" with "Oswego" in a sing-song voice, as if saying "Off we go!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You would ''really appreciate'' it? That's it? Man, back in the olden days, I could get upwards of 3 chickens, a sack of barley and a half-dead goat all for doing one of my technology intromercials. ''{clears screen}'' Well, I sure hope JCPenney's accepts really appreciate it's, 'cause I know for a fact they stopped taking ''{extrapolates voice}'' I'll be your best friend's ''{returns to normal}'' a while ago. Either way, middle school kids are all idiots and they need as much of my help and guidance as they can get.

''{Strong Bad gets up from his chair. Cut to a classroom with Strong Bad in a coat reminiscent of scientists', the words "I'M USING TECHNOLOGY" written on the blackboard and a poster with a drawing of a computer captioned "computers don't BYTE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{slightly robotic tone}'' One, zero zero, one one, zero, one, one zero, one one zero, zero one. ''{normal voice}'' You may not have understood me, but I was speaking technology.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad's head in the lab.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The word technology... means... magic. It's basically anything that's really cool that you don't know how it works. And if it breaks, you have to buy a new one. Why, I've got some technology beneath my pants right now! Whoo-ya!

''{Cut to the full classroom shot again. Strong Bad takes a 5.25" floppy disk with the logo "5.25 power" from behind him, throws it in the air and catches it in his right hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is a diskette. Diskettes were invented by computers to help us. Like how cows—

''{A crude drawing of a cow replaces the text on the blackboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —invented milk.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The two warring factions of diskettes are floppy disks—

''{He shakes the 5.25" disk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and hard disks.

''{He lifts an unlabeled 3.5" floppy disk in his right hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I prefer ''{hides the 3.5" disk}'' these big ones because they hold more memory, although you have to ''{crumples the 5.25" disk}'' fold them up to fit them into these new computers.

''{Camera pans right to center on the "computers don't BYTE!" poster. Strong Bad drops the crumpled disk and continues.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another thing you'll need is your very own email address.

''{Cut to a [[Tandy 400]]-like computer screen with an orange envelope labeled "email".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just take your favourite hobby,—

''{The words "soccer", "ballet", "nachoeating", "skater", "fire", "football", "racecar" alternate under the envelope until stopping on "swimteam".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — add kid, grrl, pie or izzle—

''{The words alternate next to "swimteam" as he speaks them, then being replaced by "pie".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and put a bunch of numbers at the end!

''{The number "33331" appears next to "pie". The address is completed with "@kindergartencop.edu" appearing on the next line. Then, cut to the classroom with a picture of a robot marching towards a city and the text "gank gank!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a robotic voice}'' Robots are technology shaped like square people. ''{returns to normal voice}'' They are primarily used for destroying Japan and serving hors d'œuvres.

''{The Cheat walks up to Strong Bad with a plate of hors d'œuvres, making robotic noises and encased in what appears to be an upside-down metal pail. The pail has bolts drawn on it in black marker and light bulbs sticking out of holes cut in the sides.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat-Bot! I would love a stuffed grape leaf! ''{grabs one and eats it}''

''{Cut to The Field, where the lab-coat wearing Strong Bad and "The Cheat-Bot" are standing next to Pom Pom, who is talking to someone on his PDA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Originally, tellular cellaphones ''{indicating Pom Pom's PDA}'' were for sending misspelled messages to your friends, telling them where you are in the food court.

'''POM POM:''' ''{makes a few bubbling noises directed at Strong Bad, then resumes his conversation}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom just bought movie tickets with his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks annoyed and makes more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, he just watched a movie ''on'' his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry at Strong Bad, makes more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh oh ''oh''! Pom Pom just wrote, directed, produced, and ''distributed'' a movie with his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{answers an incoming call and makes a few more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and he just got into Sundance! High-five, brother!

''{Pom Pom absorbs his PDA into his body, produces a pair of sunglasses and a water bottle, and bounces off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding out for the high-five a bit longer}'' Uh, cool, right. I'll, uh... see you later. ''{waits a bit, then turns to The Cheat}'' What are you still doing here, The Cheat-Bot?

''{Cut back to the classroom, where the blackboard now reads "THE FUTURE??" in large letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The future of technology, or at least what people won't shut up about, is wireless. You know, things like—

''{The view zooms in on the blackboard, which displays drawings of each of the items Strong Bad mentions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —walkmans, flashlights, and solar calculators.

''{He pops up in front of the blackboard and holds up a "Cakkalater" brand calculator which has the digits "53045 3080" typed in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I can make mine say "oboe shoes"!

''{He turns the calculator upside-down so that the digits resemble the words "OBOE SHOES". Cut back to the Lappy, as Strong Bad sits back down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's the Lappy, which rules over technology with a 42 pound, allegedly portable fist. Watch as it magically saves this screen.

''{Strong Bad types "screen_savior.exe" on a new line, bringing up a screen saver that resembles a primitive 3D maze. The words "Strong Bad gots the style" are written on the wall at every turn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The screen is saved, man. This thing's gonna last like 50 years! Alright, awkward children, I'm all done kickin' my tech-knowledge. Now leave me alone! Got to find my way out of these catacombs...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling to himself}'' Left... left... no, right... no, left... right... just keep goin'... Strong Bad... style...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after some time}'' Where are you taking me, Lappy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after another delay}'' Man... I throwed up all over this maze. ''{referring to the spraypainted tags at either end of the maze}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the words "half-dead goat" for a picture of a goat with the caption: "Do you see this goat as half-dead or half-alive?"

*Click the left side of the Lappy's screen at the end to see Strong Bad and Strong Sad arguing over floppy/hard disks.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' I keep telling you they're ''both'' floppy disks!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' You think ''this'' is a floppy disk?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, it is!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not a hard disk? ''{he hits his desk with the disk three times}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' No.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you sure about this?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Absolu- ''{Strong Bad throws the disk in his face}'' Ow!

*Click the right side of the Lappy's screen at the end to see Bubs selling Wireless Extension Cords.

Talk:Lappy 486

Ju Ju Master — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 20:56:36 GMT

Ju Ju Master: Nevermind

Strong Bad's up-to-date email program looks suspiciously like PINE (PINE Is Not Elm). PINE is one of the older old-school email clients on UNIX networks such as university shell accounts.

-- The official acronym for PINE is Program for Internet News and Email.

== Contrast ==

Do you think that perhaps the contrast knob will be added to the Lappy later on? I mean, maybe they just forgot to put it in. In any case, I liked the contrast thing (although the LCD liquid effect is pretty dang cool).

*Probably not. Most laptops I've seen don't have contrast knobs (though my knowledge of ancient laptops is pretty non-existant). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:00, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**I have an ancient laptop... probably closer to a Lappy 286 than a Lappy 486. It has no contrast, but it does have brightness which would basically just make the backlight brighter or darker. Even at its brightest, it's nowhere near bright enough unless all the lights are out. So theoretically this could be added, but I have a feeling they're gonna leave it as just the LCD effect. --[[User:jtickle|jtickle]] 23:45, 29 Nov 204 (EST)
***I've used several laptops, and I have never seen a contrast setting on any of them. I think it's a setting specific to the electron guns used in CRT monitors. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 00:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
****I've used a Toshiba 286 laptop with a blue LCD screen. It definately had a constrast knob, it was on the side of the computer.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 17:39, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*****Then I was wrong, which wouldn't be the first time that's happened. Thanks. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**Perhaps more relevent, the original Gateway Colorbook had a 486, color screen, and a contrast knob which had the interesting property of being able to invert the color like a photographic negative if you went too far in the wrong direction. --Anonymous
***I, too, really like the LCD effect when I click on Lappy's screen. Probably because I imagine SB has to clean all those "fingerprints!" -- anonymous lurker 12:14, 13 Dec (PST
*I personally don't think that TBC will bother adding contrast knobs. I mean, what realy purpose were they in the first place besides finding "glitches" when there was a cut scene? -[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:05, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== OS Inspiration ==

I know I can't be the only one to see parallels between the Lappy 486's logo and that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8]. Even the startup sound seems rather Mac-inspired. --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:56, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

Compy 386 was also mac-inspired. See e-mail "[[big white face]]" when Strong Mad runs "b/w" (You can see the Apple logo in the upper-left corner, as well as various other design similarities.) Also, The Cheat's computer is obviously an iMac.
:Oh, yeah, it's '''definitely''' Mac-inspired.—[[User:StrongstarRunbad|StrongstarRunbad]] 14:53, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
The prompt seems to be from [http://apple2history.org/history/ah14.html Apple DOS], unless there's another OS with a "]" prompt. [[User:68.163.147.134|68.163.147.134]] 23:48, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Lappy outer logo ==

Can anyone get a shot of the Lappy outer logo? When Strong Bad carries it in his fist blocks it.
:I'm working on it, as you can see from [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/lappy_laptoplogo.png this image]. Also, if you wanted a screenshot of the logo that Strong Bad's head blocks when we first see the logo on screen, that image [http://img15.exs.cx/img15/3971/lappy_simple.png is here.] Even if I'm able to cut Strong Bad out from the screenshot of the ORIGINAL FRAME, the image quality will not be too high. Better to leave it small such as [http://img15.exs.cx/img15/3971/lappy_simple.th.png this thumbnail]. Hope this was helpful.

== Fun Facts moved from STUFF ==

=== Lappy Startup Screen ===
The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while. The sound and icon, however, are part of the Mac OS. If you have a Mac, try starting it up using Linux - the sound is the same, but the screen is different. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Shorten and Rewrite.''' Same as above. --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

*'''Move it.''' This goes on the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] page! --[[User:pianoplayerontheroof|Pianoplayerontheroof]]
*'''STRONGLY DECLINE!''' The Mac bootup sound plays before any display shows, and System 8's loading screen does not have any fadein effects. Furthermore, the Mac OS 8 is only two colors, not four. --[[User:Aussie Evil|Aussie Evil]] 13:58, 7 Mar 2005 (MST) (sorry, forgot to sign)
**'''Comment, Post-STUFF''' Mac OS 8 was in full color, though it did still retain System 7's grayscale capabilities. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 01:16, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:07, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== DELETED!!! ==

So, I've been think about the "DELETED" picture for the Lappy might be equal to the one in [[replacement]], maybe.--[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 15:58, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Except, of course, it still says DELETED!! [[User:Mee|Mee]]

== Colors ==

Does the explosion in "do over" count as more colors we have seen the lappy create? or not?
:There should at least some note that it can display what seems to be an animated gif. --[[User:151.204.128.79|151.204.128.79]] 01:07, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

* I think it should. Though there are little dots of green and blue in it (If you print screen, you don't even have to zoom in) I put in Maroon, brown, light brown, and beige. I think those are the main colors, buyt if anyone disagrees, please say so.

:It's not going to be very easy to get every single color in the explosion. I think "The explosion in [[do over]]" would work, but not every color. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:53, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

* I agree, so I think those four will do (Plus white, but it's already on the list) We at least should use brown and light brown, but maroon and beige should also be noted. If it's shown on the Lappy, then it should be noted. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 17:15, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think we should ditch the section and note that, while mostly based on [[Wikipedia:Color Graphics Adapter|CGA]] graphics, it seems to also be able to display [[Wikipedia:Video Graphics Array|VGA]]. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:22, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

* Even though I like the section, Shaodw Hog might be right.. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]

==Plug In Wall==

*Why is there still a plug in the wall that is still occupied. in email part time job we see there is nothing on the back to plug in a wall.whats up with that? (audience laughs)

:Laptops can run on either external power (with a plug) or internal power (battery). {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 21:58, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

'''Fluffy Puff Marshmallows''' is a brand of marshmallows that [[Homestar Runner]] likes and once did a commercial for. Their mascot is now [[Marshie]], whom Homestar hates for taking over his job. The motto is "Made from the best stuff", which may be referring to [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s motto "Made from the best stuff on Earth!"

The Fluffy Puff product line, produced by [[Galoob]], also includes [[Fluffy Puff Mayo|Fluffy Puff Mayonnaise]], Halloween-themed [[Fluffy Puff Malloweens|Malloweens]], and [[Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers]].

The [[Old-Timey]] version of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows is [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights]], and the spokesperson, the Old-Timey version of Marshie, is [[Mr. Shmallow (character)|Mr. Shmallow]].

Coincidentally, Fluffy Puffs Marshmallows are a real brand, as seen in one of the pictures to the right.

Making Out

Ju Ju Master: Grammar

:''This article is about the running gag. See [[making out]] (in lowercase letters) for the [[Strong Bad Email]].''
[[Image:MakeyOuty.PNG|thumb|The closest he ever got]]
'''Making Out''' seems to be a favorite pastime of [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]], as he often mentions it. Despite titling himself the "master of make out rock," however, there is no proof that he ever actually has made out with a live person. [[Homestar Runner]] and/or [[The Cheat]] have apparently come closer more often, as shown in the easter egg of [[do over]].

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking along in regular clothing during the daytime. Then, a nighttime background scrolls onscreen, stitched right onto the daytime background. As the trio cross the [[Wikipedia:Terminator (solar)|terminator]] into nighttime, they get changed into their costumes (with a slight slurping noise) as the opening credits roll: "Halloween Fairstival" / Spoken By Matt and Missy / Maken By Mike and Matt / Here go the first scene... 
The three characters stop beside a telephone pole with an orange flier stapled to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right boys, it's Halloween night, what we gonna do?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come again?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's wrong there, Philly Cheat-steak? You got-a some Hiccups?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, you picked the perfect night to have them. We shouldn't have a problem scaring those hiccups out of you on Halloween. Let's see what's going on tonight. ''{zoom in on the flier}'' There's gotta be something scary.

''{Zoom closer in on the section of the flier reading "Coach Z's Haunted Locka-room".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, that's perfect! I've seen some stuff in that locker room that would scare more than just the hiccups out of you, let me tell ya. Let's check it on out!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

''{Cut to a haunted locker room with a dark screen and green gas along the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You scared yet, The Cheat? What about that drippy towel over there? That's pretty scary, huh?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a mock-scared voice}'' Oh no, please don't drip on me!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You smell like shin guards!

''{The Cheat hiccups. Coach Z appears.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Crackity towel! Tommy John surgery!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat}'' Coach, we're trying to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got anything that's not just gross and moist?

'''COACH Z:''' ''{holding up some Blue Star Ointment}'' What could be scarier than Blue Stair Ointment?! Aawooooeeeeorrrrre!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, this has gone from weird and kinda gross to a serious health risk.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's bolt.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey! You guys didn't even get your candy out of the terlet there!

''{Cut to Strong Sad under a banner that says "Strong Sad's Haunted Haikus".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reciting a haiku}''
:This night. Black as pitch.
:Doom from inside me wells up.
:Pray I don't get egged.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know or care what a Hai-oo-koo is—

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but we need to scare The Cheat.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, I got just the thing!
:Rapping at the door.
:Fills up agèd pillow case.
:So sick of Smarties.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I get it. Let me try one!
:A butt for a face.
:Little brother: dork, dork, dork.
:Stay out of my room.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm sorry, The Cheat, looks like we got to find some other way to scare the ever-loving hiccups out of you.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You don't ''scare'' the hiccups out of somebody! You gotta ''laugh'' 'em out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That sounds like a segue!

''{Segue to Bubs, against the side wall of his concession stand, under a neon sign reading "Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween Comedy Club".}''

'''BUBS:''' I mean, seriously, people, it's the 90s!

''{Strong Mad laughs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Am I right?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''BUBS:''' Am I left?

''{Strong Mad laughs again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say, Bubs, your comedy club bears a striking resemblance to the side of your concession stand.

'''BUBS:''' Aww, that's rich. You know something else that bears a striking resemblance to something else?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunn—

'''BUBS:''' Women can't drive!

''{Strong Mad laughs again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Unh—

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —let's get out here, my bad pennies.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat leave.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS GUY CRACKS ME UP!

'''BUBS:''' And, airline food! I mean, humminah-what?

''{Bubs hits his head with his microphone. Strong Mad laughs again.}''

''{Cut to sign "The KOT's Verrry Halloween Related Turducken Bob"; pan to the King of Town beside a tub with three turduckens in mashed potatoes.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hurry, hurry, hurry! Before I eat it all! Step right up and get your Halloween on! Bobbin' fer turduckens!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as if reading one of his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]}''
:Dear Oldie,
:Shut up!
:Your pal, Strong Bad.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Howdy, boys. Either of you got a wicked mashed potato jones?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Mashed Potato Jones. Now there's a fella I'd like to meet!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, we need to get rid of The Cheat's hiccups. You got any grody old man remedies?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Sure! You gotta feed and feed the hiccups until they mature into liver failure! And then...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're not trying to kill The Cheat! Don't ya have anything that could just scare him?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I have this X-ray of my heart.

''{The King of Town holds up an X-ray showing a ham where his heart should be, labeled "General Caveat Lower Eclusal". The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not scary. That's... promising! Come on, The Cheat. Let's let the King die in peace.

''{The King of Town's mask spins 180° into a sad face, like the Mayor of Halloweentown's.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yes. Let's.

''{Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith who are holding a silent auction in front of a sign reading "'Creeping' Silent 'Death' Auction".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up, no-talkers? Keep on... no-talking.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

''{(The following scene happens only if you click on The Poopsmith's belt.) Homsar pops out of the sign and stands upside down on the top of the border.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAa... I blew it, man! I lose my touch.

''{He runs around the border while The Poopsmith and Pom Pom watch.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan standing with a guitar next to a stall of fruit, labeled "A Chorus Of Autumnal Vegatables [sic] Is In".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this mess?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ready, everybody? A-one, and a-two, and a-here we go! ''{Marzipan sings. The tune is the same as the theme song and scene transition music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is it! This is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good job, The Cheat! Now try harmonizing with the butternut squashes! ''{sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This might not get rid of the hiccups, but it's about to give me the throw-ups!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh yeah! Lay it on me, Mr. Corn!

''{Strong Bad makes vomiting noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears from behind a tree, on which is a sign reading "back alley dealings"}'' Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys guys guys! You guys...errrr...need some witches' brew? I got some right here. Two jars. Cold, hot, fresh witches' brew! Only ten bucks a pop! Side effects include wine, women, and song.

''{He holds up two jars labeled "brüe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witches' brew, eh? All right, we'll take one jar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here you go.

''{The Cheat drinks it and hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap! He's still got 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That'll be ten bucks! Please drive around to the second window!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, okay... But, uhhh, can you pay us the ten bucks tomorrow?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I'm good for it. I'll pay you the ten bucks right now!

''{Homestar gives the money to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I'll give you ten bucks if you stop hiccupping!

''{The Cheat tucks the cash into his costume, says something, and stops hiccupping.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Hey, Homestar! I'll give you ten bucks if you stop breathing!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okayyougotadeal!

''{Homestar takes a gulp of air and holds it for a couple of seconds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{panting}'' Strong Bad... I couldn't do it... for very long...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd try again. Ten is a lot of bucks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right, a lot of ducks!

''{He keeps trying during the fade-out.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*During the cartoon, click on the emblem on The Poopsmith's belt to unlock a scene with Homsar (transcription above).
*Clicking on Strong Bad, Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, The Cheat, Bubs and Marzipan at the end will unlock additional dialogue.
**'''Strong Bad'''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello, kiddies! A-meet the Joker!
**'''Homestar Runner'''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I'm dressed up as some kind of a golf cart, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
**'''Pom Pom'''

**'''The Cheat'''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, The Cheat, your pile of leaves costume is so adorable. It's... adorable.
**'''Bubs'''

*:'''BUBS:''' You got it!
**'''Marzipan'''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzy, I just can't wait for you to get on the road again... and get hit by a school bus.
*Clicking on Strong Mad at the end reveals an additional scene.

:'''BUBS:''' And remember, like, ten years ago? People's clothes looked funny! ''{Strong Mad laughs}'' And the music sounded terrible! ''{Strong Mad laughs}''
*If you unlock the scene with Homsar, Homsar will appear at the end of the cartoon with everyone else.
*If you don't unlock the scene with Homsar, you can still get Homsar to appear at the end by clicking on Strong Mad. When the scene switches back to the group picture, Homsar will be there.
*If you unlock the Homsar scene, the eggplant in Marzipan's vegetable choir will have a spoon taped to it, just like Homsar's "pumpkin" in his Easter egg scene from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*A "jones" is defined as "an avid desire or appetite for something". Therefore, to "have a mashed potato jones" means to "crave mashed potatoes".
*A [[Wikipedia:Turducken|turducken]] is a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken.

===Trivia===
*Although [[Witches' Brew|Witches' Brüe]] is a frequently-mentioned inside joke, this is the first time we've actually seen it and been informed of its supposed effects. Also, the product's spelling features a [[Wikipedia:heavy metal umlaut|heavy metal umlaut]] in the style of rock band [[Wikipedia:Mötley Crüe|Mötley Crüe]].
*When The Cheat drinks the jar of Witches' Brüe, the jar remains full until the moment he throws it away.
*The three items for sale by Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are:
**The [[Blender|blender]] from [[Main Page 19]]
**[[Credenza]] the ficus, brought back from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]
**The [[Old Characters|Trivia Time]] cookie jar
*When the orange sign first appears, it reads:
<pre>Halloween Festival
featuring:
Coach Z's Haunted
Lockerroom
Haunted Haikus
w/ Strong Sad
Bobbing for Apples
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!</pre>
:However, when the sign appears again before zooming in on the Coach Z part, it reads:
Halloween Fairstival
featuring:
Coach Z's Haunted
Locka-Room
Haunted Haikus
w/ Strong Sad
Bobbing for <strike>Apples</strike>
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad is actually wearing purple boxing gloves, which he criticized as an inaccuracy in [[New Boots]].
*It is strange that Strong Bad claims not to know what a haiku is, since he used one in [[japanese cartoon]].
*Strong Mad apparently enjoys sports. He dressed as [[Kobe]] in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]; he has dressed as a professional sports player twice in Halloween episodes ([[Wikipedia:William Perry (football)|Refrigerator Perry]], [[Wikipedia:Ben Wallace|Ben Wallace]]); he wore a baseball cap with the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers']] logo on it as [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]]; he has a statue of a football player in [[Strong Mad's Room|his room]], and he was the sportscaster in [[local news|Strongbadia Action News]]
*When Bubs says, "Am I right?" he points with his left hand, and vice/verse.
*This toon refers to Pom Pom "not speaking," even though other characters normally seem to understand his bubbles.
*Despite being a "terrific athlete," Homestar doesn't have a very large lung capacity. It seems to have grown significantly smaller since his [[Yearbook_Character_Page|Yearbook]] page.
*Coach Z's Tupac tattoo says "Thorg Life," which is "Thug Life" à la Coach Z's accent.
*Strong Bad suggests that Homestar (not The Cheat) hold his breath, although this is a common hiccup remedy.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad, the Cheat, and Strong Mad turn around to go to the "Haunted Locker Room" after they read the sign, the lettering on Strong Mad's [[Wikipedia:Detroit Pistons|Pistons]] jersey is reversed. This is because instead of being redrawn for the new direction, Strong Mad's animation was simply mirrored.
*When the gang passes the day/night border, Strong Bad's eyes space farther apart and his crest and eyes become larger compared to his head. Also, the split second after they stop and turn around at the pole, his face shifts position on his head.

===Inside References===
*The candles next to Strong Sad in the haiku scene are from the séance in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
**Also, the orange candle appears in the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]] during the scene in which Strong Sad does tai-chi.
*The telephone pole that the flier is posted on also appeared in [[impression]] and [[Where's the Cheat?]].
*The page title quotes [[Marshie]] in [[Malloween Commercial]]. The full line is "Boogidy boogidy! I'll scare your dad!".
*Marzipan's blue dress is the one the one she used for [[The Angel]] in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Homsar's "pumpkin" from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (an eggplant with a spoon taped on it) appears in an Easter egg (see above).

===Real-World References===
*The "...is in" sign hanging from the bandstand for the Chorus of Autumnal Vegetable is a reference to [http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/meet_the_gang/meet_lucy.html Lucy Van Pelt's] psychiatric help booth from the Peanuts comic strip.
*"Philly Cheat-steak" is a pun on the popular sandwich "[[Wikipedia:Philly Cheese Steak|Philly Cheese Steak]]".
*In [[A Decemberween Pageant]], Strong Mad dressed as [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles Lakers|Los Angeles Lakers]] star [[Wikipedia:Kobe Bryant|Kobe Bryant]]. In 2004, Los Angeles was beaten by the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals. In this cartoon, Strong Mad dresses like Detroit's starting center Ben Wallace.
*Strong Bad's concealed moustache refers to actor Cesar Romero, who played the Joker in the 1960's Batman TV series. Romero refused to shave his mustache for the show, so it was concealed with makeup.

== Guided Tour ==

Wikicities has a feature that lets people [http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Wikicities:Wikicities_tour/List_of_wikis_in_this_tour tour different wikis] to get to know their feel and the way that wikis in general work. It might be helpful to new users if we added a tour to the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] pages. It could help show people pages like how a page for a toon looks, how a gallery page looks (eg. [[Characters]]), [[STUFF]], etc. It would be a good way to show new users all the different types of pages on the wiki and help get them into it faster. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 02:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

:From what I can tell, it's just a series of subpages that uses [http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Template:Wikicities_tour a template] to include certain pages and has a "next" type button. If you want to try it out, go for it.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:57, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

:: I made the tour. It can be found [[HRWiki:HRWiki tour|Here]]. I just need to figure out where to put it. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 14:34, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
:That was a very enjoyable tour. Good work, AtionSong. :) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Speaking of tours, I think we ought to have a tour bus stop on the [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?TourBus Meatball Wiki TourBus system]. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 07:14, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

::It looks like a tour of all possible wiki's. It helps the wiki by giving it exposure to people who have never heard of it before. Plus, meatballs are yummy (unless you don't eat meat). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Ok, so the tour has been finished. What are we going to do with it? I haven't seen it linked to from anywhere. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:33, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
::::Eat it? I like the idea of plugging it into the introduction. It would look something like [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=212214 this]. And adding our link to a tour bus would be cool! Cooler yet when we have new user registration back online. So we should wait till then. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

== Merge Crazy ==
Don't you think we're going a little crazy with merging things like random food items and companies and such? Are small pages so bad? I'm fine with having stuff from one general location merged, such as radio stations from [[radio]] and made up animals from [[animal]], and even [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]] simply because there's so many that they're almost an inside joke, but I sort of liked all those various food, company, etc pages lying around. Although there are some drawbacks, they're easier to link to and distinguish on seperate pages. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 04:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Well I would have appreciated some [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk%3AMinor_Companies&diff=204161&oldid=204158 feedback at the time of the happening], instead of now, once it's all done. Everybody that's contributed to this thread was also at [[Talk:Minor Companies|the discussion for the catalyst]] yet nobody voiced this level of concern at that time. I suppose it was a somewhat hasty decision to merge them though. It could be reverted again, but I think some standards are desperately needed. At the very least, the redirects are all still there. But if the general feeling is to keep them seperate, then I guess I'll go back and split 'em up again. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I hear ya, T-bird. Those articles have been merged yet [[Hamburger Shampoo]] remains intact. To reiterate what Leith just said: '''some standards are desperately needed'''. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 07:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::Such is the beauty of a wiki: anything changed can easily be changed back, eh? It's easier to see it in retrospect, however, and I think what we did might be okay, although the bit about standards is very true. But we needn't go absolutely nuts with it. Eventually, everything will be on one superhuge page and internal linking will be nearly dead. Click here for The Entire Content of H*R, eh? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I bet a lot of people would have liked to give input but (1) this is a holiday week, and (2) the time between the proposal and the implementation of the project was just a few hours. When someone proposes major changes like this, no action should be taken for ''days'', not hours. And here in the case of the merged pages, after the first page was done, there should have been time to give feedback to consider whether we wanted to make even more sweeping changes. As a comparison, consider that nearly all STUFF items stay open for at least four days, ususally a week. The more controversial ones stay open two weeks. And when we were deciding whether to implement the current STUFF system, the discussion went on for more than a ''month''. So I ask you, what's the rush? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:33, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I think it was too hasty. For one, I was busy with the Fanstuff Wiki's problems at the time. Anyway, I personally think that things should be merged into one page when they all follow the same theme. Things such as [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]], [[Virus Character Variations]] and [[Made Up Strong Bad Animals]] are good merges. But things like stuff in [[Minor Foods]]... some of those pages had plenty of content. The only thing that connects stuff like Staple Sauce and Super Mud is that they are food and that only appeared once. Is just because something only appeared once or twice mean it has to share space with all the others that have similar atributes? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:20, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::Just in case it is on anyone's mind, I just wanted to state for the record that there is absolutely no technical reason for having things in one page. Some like to toss around words like "bandwidth" and "space constraints" sometimes, but I want to make very clear that these things should never be a deciding factor when it comes to merging pages.
::::::I happen to have no problem at all with smaller-type articles and have never really liked the longer type pages that group things. I mean, we clearly don't need an article for each individual [[Floppy Disk Container]] or [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween Costume]], but if a page has even a little good content (a few sentences) and can be linked to from at least one article, then our category system should be taking care of the grouping.
::::::I could go on for a bit about how I don't like it when people talk about other small articles when a separate article is being discussed for deletion or merging, but I don't think this is the time or place for that.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:09, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I will now supply an alphabetical list of all articles that I thought shouldn't have been merged. This is just my opinion, so I'll just stick it out to see the response.
:::::* [[Minor Companies]]
:::::* [[Minor Foods]]
:::::* [[Other Character Variations]]
:::::* [[Places Strong Bad Made Up]]
:::::And that's all I can think of right now. I think the seperate characters/places/things of those articles could have their own page. Opinions? Agreements? Disagreements? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 00:26, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::I agree with you on all those, Joshua. Particularly the first three... Some of the ones on [[Places Strong Bad Made Up]] I like having there, but I don't like having "Place" there... Weird, yes? But it was just easy to link a quote when you're done talking to someone... Just put "Now I'm going to go... [[Place]]". 'Cept now it's a redirect thing. It's a dumb reason, yes, and shouldn't really be considered in the discussion. But it's the idea behind it that I really mean: these things link all over the place. Piping links and adding <nowiki>#</nowiki>s to the code isn't hard, but it's easier to just make a separate page. Anyway, that's all the disjointed thoughts I can pull out of my head right now. I'll think of more later. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::::I agree, I agree. Let's just ease up on the merging peoples. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::In the hopes that Joshua's comment is not simply a comment but the start of a discussion about actually reverting some merges, I agree that Companies, Foods, and Places (including "Place") should be de-merged. With the character variations I'm not sure; did all of those have their own page before? I certainly don't think all of them should.
::::::To add to the discussion of the legitimacy of merging: no, bandwidth or space constraints are not valid reasons. What are? Well, the only real motivations I can think of would be an aesthetic aversion to "short" articles (which I don't share; if it's more than two sentences I say let it stay) '''AND''' the motivation of ease of access. When items are on the same page, two things happen: '''you see them''', even if you hadn't been looking for them, and it's easy to compare them. One drawback in the wiki format is that we have a lot of interesting pages that might never get noticed because no one clicks through to them. So if an article contains fairly important information but someone would be unlikely to seek it out by name, it might actually be an argument ''for'' merging. And in cases where the entries on the page are highly related, merging is good for comparisons: you can look at the [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig Costumes]] and see that exactly 5 are inspired by TV shows while 3 are inspired by movies and 2 by video games. There isn't much need, however, to compare Boardelectrix with Freshley's. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:44, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Well, that's pretty much the job of lists, such as [[Places]] and [[Characters]]. To let you browse through various articles (with minimal information distracting or overwhelming you) so that you can find the one you want or see an interesting article that you hadn't considered looking for and read it. Also, many, but not all, of the "Other Character Variations" had pages before merging, and several minor variations that were just as big are sitting around with their own pages, seperated from the merged articles. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

:::I fixed the food link. And the reason minor companies, foods and places aren't listed on the big lists is because they haven't been updated yet. Why don't you update them? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
::::I redirected [[Foods]] to [[Items]]. I thought your original intention was to show a Foods page. A redirect should not hurt. If I have the time later on I will add the missing links to the Characters, Places pages, and Places that Strong Bad Made up pages.

Just for fun, I wondered what would happen if you tried to translate a simple sentance using that thing back and forth, how long it would take until it finally gave you same result over and over again. This is how far it went:

:Wow. This looks strange to me (some of the words I couldn't remember well, so I used the translation software and it gave me answers in a different dialect from mine). I decided not to translate Homestar Runner, a lot of shows translated into spanish do that. I didn't even try to tranlsate his name... (ok I ran it through the translation software but ick!) Oh man, if any of you have heard american shows dubbed in spanish you'll notice that it's always ''the same voice actors for all of the shows!'' You get to recognize their voices pretty well (and they're so off from what the original voices sound like). I can picture it now... Strongbad having this droopy, dull sounding voice! Wow. Oh! yeah and the funniest thing would be the segment in spanish! You'd probably have to translate that back to english:
::'''Homestar Runner''': ''Welcome to Homestarrunner.com. Do you know Michael? Yes! we are very good friends— He is... ''
::'''Greg de la cereza''': ''¡Español!''
:Oh man! Dubbing is so weird. Oh yes and if you wanna know, the translation for ''Homestar Runner'' would be something like: ''Corredor de la casa estrella.'' Which word for word is: ''Runner of the house star'' (starhouse). Enjoy! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:54, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

== NSMC is at it again ==

I know why the server is slow this time. This is from the IRC channel from about an hour ago.

<blockquote>
NSMS (n=NSMC@adsl-96-212-36-203.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net) has joined #hrwiki [7 users] 
<NSMC> haldo 
NSMS (n=NSMC@adsl-96-212-36-203.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net) has quit IRC (Client Quit)[6 users]
</blockquote>

I hope next time we can pick that stuff up and lock the detabase or something. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

:Perhaps we shouldn't jump to any conclusions until we're sure of two things: first, that this is the actual NSMC troll, and not an impersonator, as well as that he is currently affecting the [http://beta.fellowsites.org Fellowsites] server. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:55, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT: AH-HA! We may have just discovered the vandal's ISP! HRWiki +1, NSMC -1. We're one step closer to finding out his real ip address and getting anony editing turned back on. (Ar least I hope we are.) {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}}

::Well, here's the chronollogy of things: (Talking in UTC time): On 10:21 he logged on, haldo and logged off in a metter of exactly 20 seconds. On about 11:20 when I made the transcript I was experiencing the first slowness, exactly one hour after. If this is not one frigging coincidence, I don't know what is. {{User:E.L.

'''4 EDIT CONFLICTS LATER:''' Well, whoever that person is, he's just gone from being merely annoying to outright breaking the law. My email box and webspace were COMPLETELY full this morning due to the flood of "password reminder" emails I just got overnight (Eudora is still downloading them). This crap really ain't funny. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:27, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Some info: I used [http://www.dnsstuff.com dnsstuff.com] to look up a couple of the IP addresses, and they're based in other countries. Here's the list I came up with:

* 139.80.38.132 = grant.design.otago.ac.nz (New Zealand)
* 210.100.138.124 = Resolves to South Korea, but I can't get a specific answer
* 211.115.69.146 = Resolves to South Korea, but I can't get a specific answer
* 211.249.118.252 = Resolves to South Korea, but I can't get a specific answer
* 212.138.64.174 = cache4-2.jed.isu.net.sa (Saudi Arabia)

There were plenty more IPs that showed up in the massive email spam. Evidently, NSMC can either spoof a lot of IPs, or he has rootkits installed all over the world. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

:Look at the log from IRC. Could this be his real IP? Could he be that careless? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:48, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

::It's possible, but unlikely - the guy could get on the IRC from virtually anywhere. I've dealt with quite a few IRC-based DDOS attacks in my time. :P {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

:::So... What am I supposed to do with all these emails in the meantime? Are they at all useful for foiling this guy? Did they really change my password? Anything? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::If anything holds true, your password is only changed if you sign in using that new password. So don't, and you should be fine. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::Heh. If you want to, sure. Although I doubt we'll be finding out his real IP any time soon. On the other hand, any new ones we find could be blocked beforehand. Hmmmm... — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:07, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know... Random's my bet. But in other news, my email inbox is devoid of all spam now... That was a chore. .-. And one I don't fancy doing again. I bet I have a record, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I wish I'd read about this earlier. I just logged in to my email to find 447 password reminders. What really freaked me out about it was that some were from the Fanstuff Wiki, where I don't have an account (or at least, don't think I do). I found this IP address in the Fanstuff emails: 200.226.137.13, and this in the normal Wiki emails: 212.138.64.177. Could we temporarily disable password reminders, or has he/she/it stopped? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 19:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
:::We have to consider also what restrictions we're willing to live with for how long. You're proposing a situation in which you have to log in to edit and if you forget you're password... you're screwed? The block on new user registration has been up for some time now, and I'd like to emphasize that I '''don't''' consider it a liveable solution, and I hope even as a "temporary" measure it doesn't last long. Yes, people can e-mail Tom and ask, but that's not advertised and would turn shy users away.
:::It's beginning to sound like it would be ''impossible'' to ultimately find the real IP. We have to decide what we'll do then.

== MP3s of Marzipan's Answering Machine ==

I've made myself an MP3 of each of the different versions of the answering machine, so I can listen to them in iTunes without having to click through each individual message. It's great audio-only HR content! Would it be appropriate (and, more importantly, would it be ''legal'') to post them on the wiki? I'm thinking each file goes in the External Links section of the appropriate answering machine article, probably just under "View the flash file for ...". But where would I upload the files? — [[User:Bill Martinson|Bill Martinson]] 19:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
:Dare I point out the irony? As great as they would be, not only will they use up a lot of space, they might be significantly greater violation of copyrights. Then again we have entire mirror sites around. I guess now I am not sure... but nevertheless, they use up a lot of space and would fit better in a different type of site (much like the aforementioned mirrors). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh! I was only referring to the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ#Copyrigh|discussion]] we were having about copyright issues :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:26, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

:::It would not be appropriate to post MP3 files on the wiki. A sound or video file would be reproducing the content of the original site in a form that could actually compete with it, and that's definitely crossing the line. The irony is that we just had this discussion involving multiple screenshots from toons that feature still images only (like [[More Fan Costumes]]). To summarize that discussion Stux linked to, we determined that using a screenshot of each slide constituted reproducing the whole work in a format that mimics its original form, and therefore is ''not'' fair use by any stretch. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Fair enough. I probably should've been able to figure that out for myself, but with so much specific content on the wiki I guess I assumed it was okay with TBC for the wiki to house their intellectual property. I think I mistakenly thought of the wiki as "having" the Flash files (which are a superset of the MP3s), but in reality it only ''points'' to them.

But if the general feeling is to keep them seperate, then I guess I'll go back and split 'em up again. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I hear ya, T-bird. Those articles have been merged yet [[Hamburger Shampoo]] remains intact. To reiterate what Leith just said: '''some standards are desperately needed'''. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 07:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::Such is the beauty of a wiki: anything changed can easily be changed back, eh? It's easier to see it in retrospect, however, and I think what we did might be okay, although the bit about standards is very true. But we needn't go absolutely nuts with it. Eventually, everything will be on one superhuge page and internal linking will be nearly dead. Click here for The Entire Content of H*R, eh? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I bet a lot of people would have liked to give input but (1) this is a holiday week, and (2) the time between the proposal and the implementation of the project was just a few hours. When someone proposes major changes like this, no action should be taken for ''days'', not hours. And here in the case of the merged pages, after the first page was done, there should have been time to give feedback to consider whether we wanted to make even more sweeping changes. As a comparison, consider that nearly all STUFF items stay open for at least four days, ususally a week. The more controversial ones stay open two weeks. And when we were deciding whether to implement the current STUFF system, the discussion went on for more than a ''month''. So I ask you, what's the rush? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:33, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I think it was too hasty. For one, I was busy with the Fanstuff Wiki's problems at the time. Anyway, I personally think that things should be merged into one page when they all follow the same theme. Things such as [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]], [[Virus Character Variations]] and [[Made Up Strong Bad Animals]] are good merges. But things like stuff in [[Minor Foods]]... some of those pages had plenty of content. The only thing that connects stuff like Staple Sauce and Super Mud is that they are food and that only appeared once. Is just because something only appeared once or twice mean it has to share space with all the others that have similar atributes? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:20, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::Just in case it is on anyone's mind, I just wanted to state for the record that there is absolutely no technical reason for having things in one page. Some like to toss around words like "bandwidth" and "space constraints" sometimes, but I want to make very clear that these things should never be a deciding factor when it comes to merging pages.
::::::I happen to have no problem at all with smaller-type articles and have never really liked the longer type pages that group things. I mean, we clearly don't need an article for each individual [[Floppy Disk Container]] or [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween Costume]], but if a page has even a little good content (a few sentences) and can be linked to from at least one article, then our category system should be taking care of the grouping.
::::::I could go on for a bit about how I don't like it when people talk about other small articles when a separate article is being discussed for deletion or merging, but I don't think this is the time or place for that.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:09, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I will now supply an alphabetical list of all articles that I thought shouldn't have been merged. This is just my opinion, so I'll just stick it out to see the response.
:::::* [[Minor Companies]]
:::::* [[Minor Foods]]
:::::* [[Other Character Variations]]
:::::* [[Places Strong Bad Made Up]]

::::::I agree with you on all those, Joshua. Particularly the first three... Some of the ones on [[Places Strong Bad Made Up]] I like having there, but I don't like having "Place" there... Weird, yes? But it was just easy to link a quote when you're done talking to someone... Just put "Now I'm going to go... [[Place]]". 'Cept now it's a redirect thing. It's a dumb reason, yes, and shouldn't really be considered in the discussion. But it's the idea behind it that I really mean: these things link all over the place. Piping links and adding <nowiki>#</nowiki>s to the code isn't hard, but it's easier to just make a separate page. Anyway, that's all the disjointed thoughts I can pull out of my head right now. I'll think of more later. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::::I agree, I agree. Let's just ease up on the merging peoples. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::In the hopes that Joshua's comment is not simply a comment but the start of a discussion about actually reverting some merges, I agree that Companies, Foods, and Places (including "Place") should be de-merged. With the character variations I'm not sure; did all of those have their own page before? I certainly don't think all of them should.
::::::To add to the discussion of the legitimacy of merging: no, bandwidth or space constraints are not valid reasons. What are? Well, the only real motivations I can think of would be an aesthetic aversion to "short" articles (which I don't share; if it's more than two sentences I say let it stay) '''AND''' the motivation of ease of access. When items are on the same page, two things happen: '''you see them''', even if you hadn't been looking for them, and it's easy to compare them. One drawback in the wiki format is that we have a lot of interesting pages that might never get noticed because no one clicks through to them. So if an article contains fairly important information but someone would be unlikely to seek it out by name, it might actually be an argument ''for'' merging. And in cases where the entries on the page are highly related, merging is good for comparisons: you can look at the [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig Costumes]] and see that exactly 5 are inspired by TV shows while 3 are inspired by movies and 2 by video games. There isn't much need, however, to compare Boardelectrix with Freshley's. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:44, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Well, that's pretty much the job of lists, such as [[Places]] and [[Characters]]. To let you browse through various articles (with minimal information distracting or overwhelming you) so that you can find the one you want or see an interesting article that you hadn't considered looking for and read it. Also, many, but not all, of the "Other Character Variations" had pages before merging, and several minor variations that were just as big are sitting around with their own pages, seperated from the merged articles. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Just for fun, I wondered what would happen if you tried to translate a simple sentance using that thing back and forth, how long it would take until it finally gave you same result over and over again. This is how far it went:

Just out of curiosity, [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]], is the final result unreadable in German too?

:Wow. This looks strange to me (some of the words I couldn't remember well, so I used the translation software and it gave me answers in a different dialect from mine). I decided not to translate Homestar Runner, a lot of shows translated into spanish do that. I didn't even try to tranlsate his name... (ok I ran it through the translation software but ick!) Oh man, if any of you have heard american shows dubbed in spanish you'll notice that it's always ''the same voice actors for all of the shows!'' You get to recognize their voices pretty well (and they're so off from what the original voices sound like). I can picture it now... Strongbad having this droopy, dull sounding voice! Wow. Oh! yeah and the funniest thing would be the segment in spanish! You'd probably have to translate that back to english:
::'''Homestar Runner''': ''Welcome to Homestarrunner.com. Do you know Michael? Yes! we are very good friends— He is... ''
::'''Greg de la cereza''': ''¡Español!''
:Oh man! Dubbing is so weird. Oh yes and if you wanna know, the translation for ''Homestar Runner'' would be something like: ''Corredor de la casa estrella.'' Which word for word is: ''Runner of the house star'' (starhouse). Enjoy! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:54, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

== MP3s of Marzipan's Answering Machine ==

I've made myself an MP3 of each of the different versions of the answering machine, so I can listen to them in iTunes without having to click through each individual message. It's great audio-only HR content! Would it be appropriate (and, more importantly, would it be ''legal'') to post them on the wiki? I'm thinking each file goes in the External Links section of the appropriate answering machine article, probably just under "View the flash file for ...". But where would I upload the files? — [[User:Bill Martinson|Bill Martinson]] 19:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
:Dare I point out the irony? As great as they would be, not only will they use up a lot of space, they might be significantly greater violation of copyrights. Then again we have entire mirror sites around. I guess now I am not sure... but nevertheless, they use up a lot of space and would fit better in a different type of site (much like the aforementioned mirrors). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

::Good points, and thanks for your comments. Please do point out the irony, because I'm not getting it. — [[User:Bill Martinson|Bill Martinson]] 19:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh! I was only referring to the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ#Copyrigh|discussion]] we were having about copyright issues :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:26, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

:::It would not be appropriate to post MP3 files on the wiki. A sound or video file would be reproducing the content of the original site in a form that could actually compete with it, and that's definitely crossing the line. The irony is that we just had this discussion involving multiple screenshots from toons that feature still images only (like [[More Fan Costumes]]). To summarize that discussion Stux linked to, we determined that using a screenshot of each slide constituted reproducing the whole work in a format that mimics its original form, and therefore is ''not'' fair use by any stretch. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Fair enough. I probably should've been able to figure that out for myself, but with so much specific content on the wiki I guess I assumed it was okay with TBC for the wiki to house their intellectual property. I think I mistakenly thought of the wiki as "having" the Flash files (which are a superset of the MP3s), but in reality it only ''points'' to them.

::::New question.: When a topic like this one is resolved, do I delete it from the Talk page, does somebody else (or some process) eventually clean it up, or does it stay here forever? — [[User:Bill Martinson|Bill Martinson]] 19:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

== Wikipedia's April Fool's Day Article 2005 ==
Homestar in his Daisy Dukes was eventually added to the somewhat lengthy Wikipedia April Fool's Day 2005 article detailing a hostile takeover of Wikipedia by Encyclopedia Britannica. He was part of Wikipedia's "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:2005_Britannica_takeover_of_Wikimedia&oldid=11827614#New_corporate_structure new corporate structure]" as the Minister of Long Pants. He was then pictured lower on the page in the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:2005_Britannica_takeover_of_Wikimedia&oldid=11828885#Immediate_aftermath Immediate Aftermath]" section, then moved to the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:2005_Britannica_takeover_of_Wikimedia&oldid=11833150#Related_Information Related Information]" section, then finally [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:2005_Britannica_takeover_of_Wikimedia&oldid=11833471 dropped] altogether. The page as it exists now can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:April_1%2C_2005/2005_Britannica_takeover_of_Wikimedia here], and the edit history for the page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:2005_Britannica_takeover_of_Wikimedia&action=history here]. Strongbad was also named Minister of Deleting email, and is found directly under Homestar's listing.

| [[Image:Morefancostumes1.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Strong Bad, how's your miserable job at the depressing faceless office park? Oh, pretty good, Geraldine. Today they let me stand out in the parking lot and stretch my head during my seven-minute lunch break. If I'm lucky, I'll get to work here for ten years with no promotion and then get laid off!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes2.PNG|200px]] || Burninated Peasant, [[Trogdor]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, a burning peasant and Trogdor partying together in perfect harmony! And a full nine days before Halloween even!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes3.PNG|200px]] || [[Coach Z]], [[King of Town]], [[Marzipan]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and next on the worthless arts and crafts shopping channel, the least popular Homestar Runner characters gourd collection. Nothing completes an old lady vestibule quite like them.
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes4.PNG|200px]] || [[The Cheat]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! The Cheat! Some kind of adorable baby is bursting out of you!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes5.PNG|200px]] || [[Bubs]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man! Bubs has flipper arms, not tentacle arms! Those things look deadly, like they could pry the shell off a... mollusk... in no time flat! Now, go enjoy the crappy Halloween decorations we put up in the cafeteria. Amanda from sales worked all morning on those!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes6.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah. That's the way to get decapitated, man. Couple of young ladies to cuddle up with my giant severed head...
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes6a.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—oh, wait a minute, now, girls, what's going on here?
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes6b.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah! My poor husky head! Were there at least any Twixes in there?
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes7.PNG|200px]] || [[Mr. Shmallow]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' A Mr. Shmallow costume? Are you kidding me? Were you trying to ''lose'' friends this Halloween?
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes8.PNG|200px]] || [[Trogdor]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' I said "S and more different S"! Not seven or... more different... crescent wrench. And is that limp pantyhose worm supposed to be a beefy arm? Why don't you walk back there to the China Express and get them to fill that thing with teriyaki chicken. And then we'll go to Spencer's Gifts.
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes9.PNG|200px]] || [[Horrible Painting]] || '''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' Come on in heeere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh, that thing is ''way'' more evil in pumpkin form. Must... fight... jibblies! Can't... hold... on... much... longer! A-jibblie-jibblie!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes10.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, Homestar babies! Check 'em out, they're just like real life! The Strong Bad kid is like, "Ooh! Feel my wrath!" And the Homestar kid is just totally clueless, like, "I wike candies!" And then The Cheat is like, "Whoa, I bet I could swipe that plasma screen over there."
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes11.PNG|200px]] || [[Homestar Runner]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh. That is animal cruelty. Could that dog possibly be more miserable? I bet if old Rover left some sweet spots on that carpet they'd take him out of that ridiculous geddup. Come on, boy! Leave a sweet spot! Just a little sweet spot!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes12.PNG|200px]] || [[Homestar Runner]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, da da da da DA-A!! So confused... what to think?? Hot Homestar?? My brain is splitting in half!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Daaa! You get outta here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, you sound tense. Do you want me to give you, like, a backrub or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... yes! No! I... don't know! Next picture, next picture!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think this is the last one, sweetie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAAAAA!! ''{trails off as though he's running off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I should probably stop calling everybody sweetie.
