People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. <br /> <br /> You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (&lt;nowiki&gt;~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt;). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.<br /> <br /> == Toons and E-mails ==<br /> == Toons and E-mails ==<br /> <br /> ===[[other days]]===<br /> <br /> ==== Thor? ====<br /> &quot;Instruc-tor&quot; is most likely refering to Thor, the Viking God of thunder. <br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Definitely not. An &quot;or&quot; at the end of a word can be emphasized to make the person this word describes sound more intimidating. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]<br /> **'''Second.''' There is nothing there to suggest its a reference to Thor.<br /> **'''Second.''' How could you think this was referring to that?<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ===[[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]]===<br /> ==== Three Noses? ====<br /> Three Noses is a referance to The Magic School Bus in which they get graded on smell with noses.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Stretch. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:24, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' Not enough proof to be a fun fact. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Its meant to be stupid. Makes me wonder connections people are trying to tie to wave of babies.<br /> <br /> ===[[dreamail]]===<br /> <br /> ==== &quot;Decline&quot; ref====<br /> <br /> When Homestar says &quot;what are you talking aboot&quot;, it is almost definitely a reference to [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/191110 &quot;The Decline of Video Gaming 2&quot;], a Flash cartoon by The Super Flash Brothers and Double Helix in which a South Park-style Tidus (from [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]] says the sentence in exactly the same manner.<br /> <br /> I am the creator of this Fun Fact, and am placing it on here because someone decided to delete it and then tell me to put it on here if I cared so much, instead of just doing so themselves. They said it was an obscure line when in fact quite a large bit of &quot;Decline of Video Gaming 2&quot; is quite quotable, the above line included. Besides, there are far more obscure references that are inferred for other toons, and if this is unworthy of being on the site then there are plenty more fun facts that should meet the same fate.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' (no pun intended) - as the one who removed it, allow me to elaborate: that scene was an obvious parody of Canadians and how they speak in general. So, who's to say that Homestar's line isn't just another take at them? Who's to say it's not a reference to many, many other things that possibly said &quot;What are you talking aboot?&quot; (not that I have a list, but I wouldn't doubt they're out there)? It's a minor line as it is, and too obscure to be a &quot;definite reference&quot;; it instead strikes me as speculation, and as the top of this page states, that's a bad fun fact. As for why I didn't STUFF it right away... well, I just didn't think it was worth it, it's just THAT obscure. Besides, STUFF is a little '''stuff'''ed full as it is. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:55, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Delete, Delete, Delete. That was a parody of some people in Canada. (I've lived 12 years in Canada and have never said and/or heard anyone say 'aboot'. Ever. In a million years. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]] *tired of writing brackets*<br /> *'''Decline.''' The level of obscurity doesn't really matter. Pronouncing &quot;ow&quot; as &quot;oo&quot; or &quot;oh&quot;, regardless of accuracy, is a common stereotype about Canadians(RPharazon: Actually, all of the Canadians I know speak this way, your results may vary). Furthermore, &quot;what are you talking about?&quot; is about as generic as a sentence can become. It doesn't even contain any proper nouns. --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 11:16, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> ==== Backwards joke ====<br /> <br /> The backwards joke first appeared in [[2 emails]].<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' While both gags include the word &quot;backwards&quot; they are hardly related. the first was based on Strong Bad's inability to maintain his train of thought while discussing time travel, the second was simply his own luxuriating in the presence of a bronzed, guacamoled email from 128 Hot Katies. Also note that schematically, &quot;I'll just have to wait it out...backwards.&quot; and &quot;Read it again, slowly, and... backwards.&quot; are not even similar. Additionally, in the former case, the pause is because Strong Bad has finished his sentence and then tacked on &quot;backwards&quot; in a last ditch attempt to make sense (or at least sarcastically point out that he realizes he doesn't), in the latter case he is merely pausing to collect his ideas. --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 09:48, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' It's clearly not the same joke. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 10:18, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> ==== Ping ====<br /> <br /> The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic &quot;Echoes&quot;<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]<br /> *I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...<br /> **'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go &quot;ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD&quot; But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.<br /> *'''oh...wait''' I actually, upon one more listen, realized I was just tired and bored and hearing things. darn. Well...it could be the sound quality! Like, yeah totally! I'm hopeless... --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 16:14, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> **So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]<br /> *'''Decline''' And I'm the one who put it up.... --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:54, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Accept''' You can absolutely tell that that is the ping from Echoes. It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.<br /> **'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]<br /> <br /> ==== Not Plugged In ====<br /> The Lappy is not plugged in when it is in the submarine.<br /> *'''Decline''' So what? [[User:InterruptorJones|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;]]&lt;small&gt;&amp;mdash;&amp;nbsp;[[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]&lt;/small&gt;[[&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;]] 11:52, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' Its a dreammail. The lappy doesn't have to be plugged in.<br /> **'''Second'''<br /> **You can't second something without signing it! --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]]<br /> *'''Decline''' The Lappy is a laptop and laptops don't need to be plugged in.<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> *In [[part-time job]] Strong Bad was worried because the Lappy was almost out of juice, which wouldn't happen if it were plugged in. '''Decline'''. Sorry. --[[User:kerrek_slaya|kerrek_slaya]]<br /> **In that email, Strong Bad was not at his desk. I wasn't sure (and still am not sure) if it would be plugged in when it's in the normal place, which I assumed the submarine should be. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 15:15, 16 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> ===[[The Reddest Radish]]===<br /> ==== Paper Doll Style ====<br /> <br /> This is the only cartoon in which TBC use the &quot;paper doll cut-out&quot; visual style. Another older toon to have a unique visual style is In Search Of The Yello Dello.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Not only is this extremely obvious, but In Search Of The Yello Dello isn't exactly a unique visual style. The King Of Town DVD uses almost exactly the same style. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:39, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' Its like saying that the puppet time shorts use puppets or that Teen Girl Squad is a comic book set to music and spoken words.<br /> <br /> === [[island]] ===<br /> ==== Forward referencing # 1 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar called Strong Bad [[Stinkoman]]. This is the name Strong Bad will use for his [[20X6]] counterpart in [[japanese cartoon]].<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' Its not the first time a character was created based on a throwaway gag (Homsar for instance).<br /> *'''Accept''', since it's a fairly interesting point.<br /> *'''Accept''' This has been confirmed by TBC as the original source of the name &quot;Stinkoman&quot;. I think this is significant enough to note here as well as in &quot;japanese cartoon&quot;. - [[User:tim333|tim333]]*'''Accept.''' Why not? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:24, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Modify, accept.''' Say that this is the first instance of the name Stinkoman. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> <br /> ==== Forward Referencing #2 ====<br /> <br /> The one thing Strong Bad described would happen on the island that was not illustrated was salting his foot.. which didn't take place until [[interview]].<br /> <br /> *I would have to say '''Decline''' to both of those. [[The_Brothers_Chaps|TBC]] probably have just been reusing cool ideas. Not any relation to future.<br /> **Second that.<br /> **'''Second''' --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 09:49, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' I doubt that Strong Bad salting his foot was in anyway foreshadowing another e-mail. Especially if we don't know if they had recieved the interview e-mail at that point.<br /> **'''Second''' Plus both of these are already on the pages for the japanese cartoon and island emails<br /> *'''Accept.''' Why not? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:24, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Accept.''' Seems perfectly reasonable to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> <br /> === [[homsar]] ===<br /> ==== Heavy Lourde ====<br /> &quot;Lourde&quot; is French for &quot;heavy.&quot;<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' This is already stated on the Heavy Lourde page. -- [[User:sterrence|sterrence]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *Fact, yes. Fun...no. '''Decline'''. sorry. -- [[User:kerrek_slaya|kerrek_slaya]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Interesting, but as sterrence has said, it is on the Heavy Lourde page. I think the fact is interesting, though. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]<br /> <br /> === [[part-time job]] ===<br /> ==== SWF File====<br /> This time when one of the caracters breaking the fourth wall when Strong bad peeks around the black. If you view the flash file you can see he really is looking around the black and not another object that is there. Unless he is behind an active camaflouge wall: [[Image:part-time-job-screenshot.jpg|Active Camaflouge Strong Bad]]<br /> <br /> *Okay, what is STUFF for, if not to get rid of these things? There are hundreds of glitches we could point out when you watch just the flash file. Not interesting. I would just delete it, but the image should be removed as well. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 19:27, 5 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> **Oh, and noting when the characters break the fourth wall should not make a fun fact. Strong Bad does it practically every email, when he refers to &quot;finishing the email&quot;, or looks straight ahead. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 19:33, 5 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Delete'''. ever try watching [[virus]] or [[flashback]] in SWF mode? same kinda stuff happens. --[[User:kerrek_slaya|kerrek_slaya]] PS-- It's &quot;Character&quot; not caracter.<br /> *'''Delete.''' Glitches of the .swf file are not fun facts. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Why doesn't every user have a link to the header of the STUFF page on their &quot;my talk&quot; page? Oh, and &quot;breaking the fourth wall&quot; is knowing that you're a character in a cartoon, not peeking behind a camoflauged wall. -- [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 08:59, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> **'''Second'''. [[User:gwr2004|gwr2004]] 11:07, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' About breaking the fourth wall...look, Strong Bad sings an e-mail song with each new SBemail. Maybe we should list that as a fun fact everytime he does it.<br /> *'''BALEET''' er... '''DELETE!'''--[[User:No Loafing|No Loafing]] 08:50, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''DELETE''' That's like saying that it's a fun fact that when you view the SWF for The Luau, Homestar's legs are missing when he says &quot;Oh, Man, Pom-Pom&quot;. Actually, that might be a fun fact BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! IT'S A GLITCH! -- [[User:Bonkava!|Bonkava]]<br /> <br /> ==== Relative ====<br /> Supposedly the Lappy has a battery life of five minutes. The battery runs out just over three minutes into the e-mail. What did Strong Bad do those other two minutes?<br /> <br /> *It is possible that Marzipan's kitchen is a little less than a minute away from Bubs' concession stand.<br /> **Yes, it is. So '''Decline.''' -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 06:04, 4 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> ***A little unclear, but basically a good one. '''Revise''' i think would be best. --[[User:kerrek_slaya|kerrek_slaya]]<br /> *'''Revise''' To say ''Remember that the Lappy has a battery life of five minutes and the email is only three minutes long, meaning either Strong Bad was sitting under Marzipan's table for a bit before accessing his email or there was a time gap because of going to and from Bubs' Concession Stand.'' -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 15:28, 4 Jan 2005 (PST)<br /> *'''Decline''' He could have used it for two minutes some other time before the email and not recharged it.

He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases.

In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome.

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. <br /> <br /> You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (&lt;nowiki&gt;~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt;). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Definitely not. An &quot;or&quot; at the end of a word can be emphasized to make the person this word describes sound more intimidating. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Makes me wonder connections people are trying to tie to wave of babies.<br /> <br /> ===[[dreamail]]===<br /> <br /> ==== &quot;Decline&quot; ref====<br /> <br /> When Homestar says &quot;what are you talking aboot&quot;, it is almost definitely a reference to [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/191110 &quot;The Decline of Video Gaming 2&quot;], a Flash cartoon by The Super Flash Brothers and Double Helix in which a South Park-style Tidus (from [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]] says the sentence in exactly the same manner.<br /> <br /> I am the creator of this Fun Fact, and am placing it on here because someone decided to delete it and then tell me to put it on here if I cared so much, instead of just doing so themselves. They said it was an obscure line when in fact quite a large bit of &quot;Decline of Video Gaming 2&quot; is quite quotable, the above line included. Besides, there are far more obscure references that are inferred for other toons, and if this is unworthy of being on the site then there are plenty more fun facts that should meet the same fate.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' (no pun intended) - as the one who removed it, allow me to elaborate: that scene was an obvious parody of Canadians and how they speak in general. So, who's to say that Homestar's line isn't just another take at them? Who's to say it's not a reference to many, many other things that possibly said &quot;What are you talking aboot?&quot; (not that I have a list, but I wouldn't doubt they're out there)? It's a minor line as it is, and too obscure to be a &quot;definite reference&quot;; it instead strikes me as speculation, and as the top of this page states, that's a bad fun fact. As for why I didn't STUFF it right away... well, I just didn't think it was worth it, it's just THAT obscure. Besides, STUFF is a little '''stuff'''ed full as it is. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:55, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Delete, Delete, Delete. That was a parody of some people in Canada. (I've lived 12 years in Canada and have never said and/or heard anyone say 'aboot'. Ever. In a million years. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]] *tired of writing brackets*<br /> *'''Decline.''' The level of obscurity doesn't really matter. Pronouncing &quot;ow&quot; as &quot;oo&quot; or &quot;oh&quot;, regardless of accuracy, is a common stereotype about Canadians(RPharazon: Actually, all of the Canadians I know speak this way, your results may vary). Furthermore, &quot;what are you talking about?&quot; is about as generic as a sentence can become. It doesn't even contain any proper nouns. --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 11:16, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> ==== Backwards joke ====<br /> <br /> The backwards joke first appeared in [[2 emails]].<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' While both gags include the word &quot;backwards&quot; they are hardly related. the first was based on Strong Bad's inability to maintain his train of thought while discussing time travel, the second was simply his own luxuriating in the presence of a bronzed, guacamoled email from 128 Hot Katies. Also note that schematically, &quot;I'll just have to wait it out...backwards.&quot; and &quot;Read it again, slowly, and... backwards.&quot; are not even similar. Additionally, in the former case, the pause is because Strong Bad has finished his sentence and then tacked on &quot;backwards&quot; in a last ditch attempt to make sense (or at least sarcastically point out that he realizes he doesn't), in the latter case he is merely pausing to collect his ideas. --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 09:48, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' It's clearly not the same joke. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 10:18, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> ==== Ping ====<br /> <br /> The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic &quot;Echoes&quot;<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]<br /> *I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...<br /> **'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go &quot;ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD&quot; But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.<br /> *'''oh...wait''' I actually, upon one more listen, realized I was just tired and bored and hearing things. darn. Well...it could be the sound quality! Like, yeah totally! I'm hopeless... --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 16:14, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> **So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping.

It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.<br /> **'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is.

Another older toon to have a unique visual style is In Search Of The Yello Dello.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Not only is this extremely obvious, but In Search Of The Yello Dello isn't exactly a unique visual style. The King Of Town DVD uses almost exactly the same style. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:39, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' Its like saying that the puppet time shorts use puppets or that Teen Girl Squad is a comic book set to music and spoken words.<br /> <br /> === [[island]] ===<br /> ==== Forward referencing # 1 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar called Strong Bad [[Stinkoman]]. This is the name Strong Bad will use for his [[20X6]] counterpart in [[japanese cartoon]].<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' Its not the first time a character was created based on a throwaway gag (Homsar for instance).<br /> *'''Accept''', since it's a fairly interesting point.<br /> *'''Accept''' This has been confirmed by TBC as the original source of the name &quot;Stinkoman&quot;.

Why not? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:24, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Modify, accept.''' Say that this is the first instance of the name Stinkoman. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> <br /> ==== Forward Referencing #2 ====<br /> <br /> The one thing Strong Bad described would happen on the island that was not illustrated was salting his foot.. which didn't take place until [[interview]].<br /> <br /> *I would have to say '''Decline''' to both of those. [[The_Brothers_Chaps|TBC]] probably have just been reusing cool ideas. Not any relation to future.<br /> **Second that.<br /> **'''Second''' --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 09:49, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' I doubt that Strong Bad salting his foot was in anyway foreshadowing another e-mail. Especially if we don't know if they had recieved the interview e-mail at that point.<br /> **'''Second''' Plus both of these are already on the pages for the japanese cartoon and island emails<br /> *'''Accept.'''

He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]<br /> * '''Accept'''.

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. <br /> <br /> You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (&lt;nowiki&gt;~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt;). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

It is a saying that has nothing to do with literally cooking goose. -[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]<br /> <br /> ==== Aught Four Crap ====<br /> <br /> Bubs's &quot;aught four crap&quot; is a reference to old comics, where Strong Bad inexplicably pronounces '04 as &quot;aught-four&quot;, at the very end of the email. Hence, Bubs's aught-four crap is most likely all the stuff he never sold in the entirety of 2004.<br /> <br /> *'''decline''' This should be nixed, &quot;aught four&quot; just means 04, it isnt a reference to &quot;old comics&quot; it is just an old timey way to say &quot;oh-four&quot; this isnt a reference to something strong bad says, this is just a phrase that two different chracters said.

Although it is an accepted term, it's very rarely used (and isn't technically correct). --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> <br /> ==== Broken phone ====<br /> <br /> Coach Z talking into a broken phone is a reference to the somewhat different kind of Flash cartoon, [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/51/ Salad Fingers] Since Salad Fingers also has a fetish for [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/39/ rusty metal], this might be intentional.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

Homestar just thinks he might give him a rusty knife. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 08:26, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Rewrite.''' I think there is a connection to Salad Fingers in this cartoon, with the whole rusty knife and Coach Z. Coach Z is green, like Salad Fingers; and the idea of giving him a rusty knife also connects the two. --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' It's more than likely a reference to [[replacement]] rather than salad fingers. -- [[User:super orange!|super orange!]]<br /> **But then why make a point of it being a RUSTY knife? --Begylips<br /> ***Because it implies poor quality? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***Because it's in a box of useless stuff that Bubs didn't manage to sell. No one is going to buy a rusty steak knife, or electrical tape, or a banana with a toy arrow stabbed through the center. -- [[User: Nevrmore|Nevrmore]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Considering that the Coach Z scene consists of him talking on a broken phone, eating a T.V dinner, and having his power go out due to him not paying the bill, I think its quite clear that the joke is about Coach Z being used to having busted crap. Salad Fingers didn't invent the idea of rusted metal.<br /> <br /> ==== Has what it takes ====<br /> <br /> Homestar saying &quot;Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.&quot; may be a reference to the fact that Strong Bad has been getting all the attention and becoming the main star of the site.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Speculative, doesn't belong in fun facts. --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving); both lines are given in a living room in front of Xmas decorations immediately following gift unwrapping, while the screen is zoomed in on a speaker giving a monologue; both have the same context of philosophy on gift-giving; and TBC have referenced 80s Xmas specials [[The Best Decemberween Ever|before]].

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot.

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> **I reiterate: [[old comics]] was more subtle. --[[User:80.177.116.117|80.177.116.117]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

Although this kind of montage probably did start with ''Animal House'', this usage of it is probably just a parody of the whole cliche of the &quot;what happened to _________&quot; montage itself, rather than any particular film.

I think that your rating system is questionable.<br /> <br /> '''&quot;HOMESTAR RUNNER&quot;''': Oh, right, right, a winner and such. Well... <br /> <br /> ''{Homestar's head pops off, revealing him to be a fake who is Srong Bad}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD''': I won!

They all gasp.}''<br /> <br /> '''BUBS''': It's that goblin!<br /> <br /> '''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ohhhh! That explains everything. Ding! <br /> <br /> ''{A &quot;The End&quot; ribbon appears on the screen.}''<br /> <br /> == Easter Eggs ==<br /> *While loading, you can change the features on the pumpkin. They will stay the way you changed them at the beginning of the toon.<br /> *If you click on The Poopsmith's pumpkin you unlock Homsar, who is dressed as Ghost Dog.<br /> *At the end, click on Homestar (the REAL one) to have him talk to The Cheat.<br /> *At the end, click on The King of Town to play [[Super Kingio Brothers]].<br /> *At the end, click on the moon to make a ghost-like Marshie appear and say his signature line, &quot;Made from the best stuff&quot;, in a freakishly demonic voice.<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> *When Homestar is judging the King of Town's pumpkin (pie), he asks the Cheat what he thinks. The phrase the Cheat uses to answer it appears on the [[cheat talk]]. He says, &quot;The King of Town is so lame.&quot;<br /> <br /> *Technically, by Homestar's rating system, either Strong Mad (good prize), Bubs (not last place), or The Goblin as Strong Bad as The Bee (most improved) should have won. Everyone else got worst, last, 2nd or 2nd-to-last, none of which could be 1st.<br /> <br /> *This appears to be the only toon in which The Poopsmith has made any vocal sound (besides [[different town]]). One must wonder if this violated his vow of silence.<br /> <br /> *Captain Lou Albano (whom Bubs dressed as) played Mario (whom The King of Town dressed as) in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show back in the day.<br /> <br /> *Homestar walking on the hills at the beginning may be a reference to [[Old Intro 2]].<br /> <br /> *When Strong Bad pops out of his Homestar costume, he is wearing his Da Bee shirt.<br /> <br /> *While the cartoon is fading out (to the costume section) Homestar tries to keep track of the screen by moving his head under the &quot;The End&quot; sign.<br /> <br /> *After Homestar judges the KoT's pumpkin, the disappointed king says, &quot;Sorry, King, but our princess is in another castle...&quot; This is a reference to the Super Mario Brothers game. After each level, you would discover a toadstool who would say that to you. <br /> <br /> *Pom Pom's pumpkin is actually impossible to make, because of the &quot;floating&quot; piece of pumpkin at her legs.<br /> <br /> *Coach Z's pumpkin is carved with the symbol for the [http://wutangcorp.com Wu-Tang Clan], a popular rap group that started up in 1991-1992. Of course, Homestar (or rather, Strong Bad dressed as Homestar) mistakes this symbol for [[Witches' Brew]], thereby touching off a score of future brew-related inside jokes.<br /> <br /> *Homsar's response to getting last place, &quot;And also with you,&quot; is from the Episcopal Church Book of Common Prayer. It is the usual response from the congregation after the priest says, &quot;The Lord be with you.&quot;<br /> **The Catholic Church uses it too.<br /> <br /> *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Hornet The Green Hornet], as Strong Bad was wrongly accused of being, was the crime-fighting vigilante hero of a '30s era radio drama by the creator of the Lone Ranger. It spawned several serials during the '40s and in the '60s spawned a cult hit TV show remembered mainly for its casting of Bruce Lee as the Hornet's trusty sidekick, Kato.<br /> <br /> *Marzipan dressing up as Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes was a tribute to the TLC group member who had died in a car wreck earlier in 2002.<br /> <br /> *The &quot;Pajama Jammie-Jam&quot; that Coach Z is talking about at the beginning of the tune is a reference to the movie House Party 2.

It became a number one hit for Murray Head in 1984, and was composed and written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. However, the lyric he sings was not part of the original song: the similar line is, &quot;One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble.&quot;<br /> *At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] shows how many minutes are left of Decemberween. The clock runs on your computer's clock and counts down to midnight on December 26. If the time runs out, the clock reads &quot;It's Over&quot;, then starts over from 525,600 minutes left. (525,600 minutes is 365 days.)

Here and in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], the house has white paneling, unlike his usual red with white polka-dotted house.<br /> **The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons. <br /> *Homestar's pajamas are exactly like the ones Michael Jackson wore in the &quot;Beat It&quot; music video.<br /> *Even though Strong Bad was unaware of wharfs in Free Country, USA, he is somewhat aware of the presence of docks, as seen in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].

Miles and miles of the e-mail style. <br /> <br /> ''{types in &quot;strongbad_email.exe&quot;}''<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;subject: radio<br /> Dear Strong Bad,<br /> My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give<br /> them any pointers on what they could say/do on their show?<br /> bowing to you<br /> Fraser, Scotland<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So, your &quot;friends&quot; are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks. <br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator. <br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on the numbitty 902, WA3D FM, &quot;The Sturge.&quot; Coming up next, we have some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo! <br /> <br /> ''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again! <br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.<br /> <br /> '''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is &quot;The fish was delish and it made quite a dish.&quot; ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.<br /> <br /> ''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''<br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' These guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it!''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a highball glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}'' <br /> <br /> '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already. <br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles. <br /> <br /> '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi-ball! ''{throws highball glass at radio}''<br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then there's the utter misery that is college radio, where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was &quot;The fish was delish&quot; and we heard... track six...''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' &quot;it made... quite a dish&quot;. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... cam... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...<br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in five words: &lt;br&gt;<br /> Dead air, um, dead air. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to the boombox}'' <br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is, an, um, okay... an... an hour of chanting.<br /> <br /> ''{A chant plays on the boombox, and Strong Sad's hand hits the Play and Record buttons.}''<br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone}''<br /> <br /> '''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, we join The Fish down at the wharf as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement. <br /> <br /> ''{The [[Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste|Portly Washboy]] logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''<br /> <br /> '''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy. Don't eat it like the cartoon man. <br /> <br /> ''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable. <br /> <br /> ''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;Click here to e-mail Strong Bad<br /> strongbad@homestarrunner.com&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == Easter Eggs ==<br /> * Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a t-shirt from WA3D FM &quot;The Sturge&quot; radio station.<br /> *Click on &quot;The Fish Was Delish, and it made quite a dish&quot; when it shows up to show a children's book made in the style of Dr. Seuss, called &quot;The Fish Was Delish, and it Made Quite a Dish&quot;.

I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...<br /> <br /> :'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two &quot;The Sturge.&quot; Don't you touch that BLABITTABLOUGH!<br /> <br /> :'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blabittablough?<br /> * Click on &quot;me&quot; after The Paper comes down to see more of old timey Strong Bad.<br /> :'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!<br /> <br /> :'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The rah-dio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> <br /> *After the text of &quot;The Fish Was Delish...&quot; disappears, you can still click where it was and it will come up.<br /> *Strong Sad's left sleeve disappears during parts of that easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (Depicted in article image above.)<br /> *For some reason, Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00am; strangely, he is already up and having a drink.<br /> *The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds &quot;Smooth 'n Smarmy&quot;''. One can infer that the totebag rightly belongs to Marzipan.<br /> **The whole totebag thing may be a hint to sbemail #110 where Homsar claimed that he was one himself.<br /> *&quot;Four-and-twenty stone&quot; is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds).<br /> **This is a reference to the belief that &quot;television puts ten pounds on you.&quot; <br /> *The real WSBD is a news radio station in Ohio. TBC cannot have possibly known about it; SBD most likely stands for '''S'''trong '''B'''a'''d'''.<br /> <br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> ==== To other cartoons ====<br /> <br /> *This is the second time Strong Sad has confused Strong Mad by saying something weird. The first was in [[caffeine]], after he said parakeet.<br /> *Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the easter egg for [[action figure]], and from the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]].<br /> *The college radio is [[WSBD|89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU]], &quot;Several Dozen Listeners&quot;. This refers to [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].<br /> *The [[Trivia Time]] cookie jar appears in Marzipan's kitchen.<br /> *Homestar's command of &quot;shut it up&quot; is a reference to The Cheat's [[crazy cartoon]].<br /> *This is the second time we've seen the interior of Homestar's House. The first was in [[caper]], when Strong Bad and The Cheat tried to steal his Jumbles. Apparently, someone fixed his cow lamp, which is seen at the righthand side of the screen.<br /> *Strong Sad refers to himself as &quot;[[The Deathly Pallor]],&quot; harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].<br /> *Strong Bad says the words &quot;absolutely nothing&quot; exactly the same way in the email [[website]].<br /> *&quot;progrum&quot; Is also a referance to [[pizzaz]] from &quot;Strong Bad Type Interview Progrum&quot;<br /> *Right at the very end of the chanting, one can hear the first two notes of the &quot;Sweet Cuppin' Cakes&quot; theme song, as seen in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].<br /> *The music playing during the morning radio segment is the Dangeresque theme from [[stunt double]]<br /> **Except that, it's not.<br /> *Of course, Strong Bad being annoyed with Strong Sad for calling him &quot;Senator&quot; is a refrence to &quot;Car&quot; where Strong Sad is annoyed with Strong Bad for calling him &quot;Gron Sad&quot;.<br /> *The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the Videlectrix theme.<br /> ==== To real things ====<br /> <br /> * A [[Wikipedia:Highball_glass|highball glass]] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails.<br /> ** Homestar's &quot;highball,&quot; therefore, isn't a highball at all, since it's served in a short, stout glass rather than a tall, thin one.<br /> ** The glass Homestar throws is a &quot;Rocks Glass&quot;, which are generally short and stout.<br /> ** Homestar's glass is the same one The Cheat had on the table in [[montage]] while smoking.<br /> *Marzipan's reference to the totebag has to do with public radio and/or tv often having on-air fundraisers where they offer gifts for different levels of donations.<br /> *The book &quot;The fish was delish and it made quite a dish&quot; (see Easter Eggs) is an obvious spoof of [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]'s books, even down to the name of the author, [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Lem 'The Crazy Prof.' Sportsinterviews]].<br /> *Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.<br /> * Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too &quot;hot&quot;, sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the &quot;swishiness&quot;.<br /> *&quot;PRS&quot; is a playful combination of [http://www.pbs.org PBS], the Public Broadcasting Service, and [http://www.pri.org PRI], Public Radio International.<br /> *The &quot;UN Secretary Council&quot; represents a mix between the [http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sg/ UN Secretary-General] and the [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ UN Security Council], both of which sound similar and frequently make headlines on PBS and PRI.<br /> *The bit where the voice-over tells the viewer what the test phrase is in whispered tones is a reference to game shows like &quot;Password,&quot; where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.<br /> *Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, &quot;The Sturge&quot; is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon| sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077097/ WKRP in Cincinnati],'' had the mascot, &quot;the WKRP Carp.&quot;<br /> *&quot;Heckle or jeckle&quot; is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].<br /> &lt;!-- Please, please, PLEASE do not add that &quot;that's the way the cookie crumbles&quot; is Bruce Almighty's closing catchphrase. It's being voted on - and LOSING - on the STUFF page. --&gt;<br /> *In the old timey Strong Bad Easter Egg, the way that Strong Bad pronounces radio (rah-dio) is the same as how Nick Niespodziani of [http://www.pleaserock.com Y-O-U] pronounces it in the song [http://www.pleaserock.com/downloads/radio.mp3 Radio]. Y-O-U was the band that worked with [[The Brothers Chaps]] on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].<br /> <br /> ==== Possible references ====<br /> *Strong Bad calling Strong Sad &quot;Greystoke&quot; is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.<br /> *Sir Strong Bad saying &quot;Drat and double drat!&quot; is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon &quot;The Wacky Races&quot;. Sir Strong Bad may be partially based on Dick Dastardly, as they share many characteristics.<br /> &lt;!-- Please, please, PLEASE do not add that &quot;that's the way the cookie crumbles&quot; is Bruce Almighty's closing catchphrase.

The low end of the FM radio spectrum is sort of a &quot;special interest&quot; ghetto for college stations, NPR (or PRS) stations and &quot;Christian&quot; stations.)<br /> *When Strong bad says 'The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish' might be a reference to the short-lived Teenage mutant ninja turtles live action series called [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7740/ Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation]<br /> **The quote can be seen [http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Underworld/6703/page70.html here].<br /> *Homestar must be a terrific athlete if he can nail a highball glass on a radio with a totebag on his head.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> *[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail120.html view &quot;radio&quot;]&lt;br&gt;<br /> *[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail120.swf view the flash file for &quot;radio&quot;]<br /> <br /> {{Strong Bad Email}}<br /> [[Category:Strong Bad Email]][[Category:Strong Bad Filmography]][[Category:Strong Sad Filmography]][[Category:Marzipan Filmography]][[Category:Homestar Runner Filmography]][[Category:The Strong Bad Filmography]][[Category:The Sneak Filmography]][[Category:Strong Mad Filmography]]</div> Wed, 22 Dec 2004 23:13:49 GMT Lyzz http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:radio http://hrwiki.org/wiki/3_Times_Halloween_Funjob <p>Lyzz:&#32;/* Transcript */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:ween03.png|thumb|The gang at Strong Sad's seance.]]<br /> <br /> Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat go toilet-papering.

Stinkoman will also appear if you click on the light switch on the left side of the screen.<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> *See [[Halloween Costumes]] for more information on what everyone was wearing.<br /> *If you give Stinkoman the jar with &quot;Akira&quot; on it youll get a surprise from the Anime movie of the same name.<br /> *Marzipan says Homestar watered Credenza with Yoo-Hoo when she was in Miami. This both one of the few times a real place is referenced in H*R, and one of the not-as-few times a real product is refernced. <br /> *The Cheat's costume may refer to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. <br /> *Strong Bad references the first Halloween toon when he says &quot;I'm Carmen freakin Miranda!&quot; and the second Halloween toon when he says &quot;I'm Carmen freakin Sandiego!&quot;<br /> *Coach Z's mention of Strong Sad's beautiful house and beautiful wife is a reference to the Talking Heads' song &quot;Once in a Lifetime&quot;.<br /> *When Homestar says &quot;I told you I'd get a million libs of candy&quot;, he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: &quot;lbs&quot;.<br /> *Coach Z's old school rap is the beginning of the fourth verse of the Geto Boys' &quot;Mind Playin Tricks On Me&quot;.<br /> *This toon suggests that [[Stinkoman]] lives in the present, and even in this country! This contradicts both all good sense and [[time capsule]], so don't worry about it.<br /> ** Remember, Stinkoman is from the future, so they might HAVE time machines then.....<br /> *When Homestar says &quot;someone is grabbing my butt,&quot; it is most likely Bubs, since he is right behind Homestar. Or his imagination.<br /> **His line may be a reference to [[1 step ahead]].<br /> *The sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]]<br /> *The Delicious &quot;Bag&quot; is a reference to [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].<br /> *Cosplay (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.<br /> *The line &quot;I'm a demon on wheels!&quot; from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the Speed Racer theme song.<br /> *If one listens well enough during the Credenza chant, one can hear an oddly accented voice, but it is not Coach Z. Even if you do not activate the associated Easter Egg, you can still distinctly hear Homsar's voice at the end of the chant (he's not saying anything different, his voice merely continues for a second after the others end).<br /> * In the scene where Strong Sad is chanting Credenza's name by himself with Marzipan in the room, his voice sounds like it's reversed. This is a reference to certain scenes in the Twin Peaks series, where scenes were filmed with the actors speaking their lines backwards, then played in reverse. The lines ended up being &quot;reversed&quot; twice, making them understandable, but sounding very creepy.<br /> *When everyone says &quot;Yay!&quot; together, it sounds like when they say it when [[The Strong Bad]] falls off the cliff in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].<br /> *This toon marks the the third time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.<br /> *[[Van Buren]]'s face is on the coins given to Homestar at the beginning, marking yet another relatively-famed inside joke.<br /> * The flaming manuever the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from Street Fighter.<br /> *In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception - whether or not you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.<br /> *Homestar wears pants. This doesn't seem to happen very often.<br /> *Though now focused on the King of Town's castle, Strong Bad previously wanted to &quot;egg the everloving crap&quot; out of Marzipan's house in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7]].<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> *[http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween03.html watch &quot;3 Times Halloween Funjob&quot;]<br /> *[http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween03.swf view the flash file for &quot;3 Times Halloween Funjob&quot;]<br /> **[http://www.homestarrunner.com/tennis.html watch the easter egg tennis video]<br /> **[http://www.homestarrunner.com/tennis.swf view the flash file for the tennis video]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Holiday Toons]][[Category:Homestar Runner Filmography]][[Category:Bubs Filmography]][[Category:Strong Bad Filmography]][[Category:Strong Sad Filmography]][[Category:Marzipan Filmography]][[Category:The Cheat Filmography]][[Category:The King of Town Filmography]][[Category:Pom Pom Filmography]][[Category:Coach Z Filmography]][[Category:The Poopsmith Filmography]][[Category:Homsar Filmography]][[Category:Stinkoman Filmography]][[Category:Puppet Stuff]]<br /> [[Category:The Goblin Filmography]]</div> Wed, 22 Dec 2004 21:48:25 GMT Lyzz http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:3_Times_Halloween_Funjob http://hrwiki.org/wiki/HRWiki:Old_STUFF <p>Lyzz:&#32;/* Trust */</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;!-- Don't use a TOC until we find out how to keep out subsubsections --&gt;__NOTOC__<br /> &lt;div id=&quot;shortcut&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;&quot;&gt;<br /> Shortcut:&lt;br /&gt;[[HRWiki:STUFF]]&lt;/div&gt;The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Hence, Bubs's aught-four crap is most likely all the stuff he never sold in the entirety of 2004.<br /> <br /> *'''decline''' This should be nixed, &quot;aught four&quot; just means 04, it isnt a reference to &quot;old comics&quot; it is just an old timey way to say &quot;oh-four&quot; this isnt a reference to something strong bad says, this is just a phrase that two different chracters said.<br /> <br /> *'''second''' Apologies, I had never heard &quot;aught-four&quot; before in my life (or aught-anything, for that matter) and thought it had been invented by Strong Bad on the spur of the moment. Go ahead and delete it if it's not considered a reference to the e-mail. --Sokko<br /> <br /> ==== Broken phone ====<br /> <br /> Coach Z talking into a broken phone is a reference to the somewhat different kind of Flash cartoon, [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/51/ Salad Fingers] Since Salad Fingers also has a fetish for [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/39/ rusty metal], this might be intentional.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

I think there is a connection to Salad Fingers in this cartoon, with the whole rusty knife and Coach Z. Coach Z is green, like Salad Fingers; and the idea of giving him a rusty knife also connects the two. --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]<br /> *'''Decline.'''

It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving); both lines are given in a living room in front of Xmas decorations immediately following gift unwrapping, while the screen is zoomed in on a speaker giving a monologue; both have the same context of philosophy on gift-giving; and TBC have referenced 80s Xmas specials [[The Best Decemberween Ever|before]]. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **Second. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam strikes again!]]<br /> ***This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot.

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page.

All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

And don't bogart that stuffinged ham neither!<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> *The toy on the floor in the Strongs' living room is a [http://www.constructiontoys.com/store/capsela.php Capsela] set, a module-based construction set which can be used to make portable fans, real floating boats, all manner of wheel and caterpillar-driven vehicles, and even remote-controlled robots. It appears as though their set in particular was used to make a boat (the &quot;balloon&quot; capsules on the bottom are a dead giveaway).<br /> *Strong Sad being locked in the bathtub is a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], when he says that's what his brothers do to him every [[Decemberween]].<br /> *The song Strong Sad sings in the bathtub is a reference to &quot;One Night in Bangkok,&quot; which is from the musical ''Chess,'' became a number one hit for Murray Head in 1984, and was composed and written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. However, the lyric he sings was not part of the original song: the similar line is, &quot;One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble.&quot;<br /> *At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] shows how many minutes are left of Decemberween. The clock runs on your computer's clock and counts down to midnight on December 26. If the time runs out, the clock reads &quot;It's Over&quot;, then starts over from 525,600 minutes left. (525,600 minutes is 365 days.) You can also force it to say &quot;It's Over&quot; if you right-click on the toon and pick &quot;Play&quot; from the menu (only works if viewing the flash file directly).<br /> *The outside of [[Homestar's House]] in this toon looks nothing like the outside of his house in the other toons. In this one, it has white paneling, unlike his usual red with white polka-dotted house.<br /> *When we see Homestar's clock in the beginning of the toon at 9:59, and then it turns to 10:00, that looks a little like the way they show Phil Connors's clock repeatedly turning from 5:59 to 6:00 in the movie Groundhog Day.<br /> <br /> ==== Other Things of Interest ====<br /> *This is the first time Homestar and Homsar have had a true '1 on 1' conversation. In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], it was really Strong Bad, and in [[army]] he just addressed his troops rather than Homsar himself.<br /> *Homestar dressed in his pajamas with a cinnamon stubble is a reference to [[caper]].<br /> *This is one of the very few times when we see the inside of Homestar's house, and the first time we see his bedroom.

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.<br /> <br /> == Toons and E-mails ==<br /> <br /> === [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===<br /> <br /> ==== Broken phone ====<br /> <br /> Coach Z talking into a broken phone is a reference to the somewhat different kind of Flash cartoon, [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/51/ Salad Fingers] Since Salad Fingers also has a fetish for [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/39/ rusty metal], this might be intentional.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

He obviosly didn't change it because he was sleeping.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''', if only because I'm not sure what this means.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving); both lines are given in a living room in front of an Xmas tree immediately following gift unwrapping, while the screen is zoomed in on a speaker giving a monologue; both have the same context of philosophy on gift-giving; and TBC have referenced 80s Xmas specials [[The Best Decemberween Ever|before]]. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually. Peanuts and The Grinch are also about general gaudiness, Winnie the Poo uses different language &amp; setting, etc. Never saw The Smurfs one. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *'''Decline''' - I don't see the connection.

There's a scene in which &lt;i&gt;Coach&lt;/i&gt; Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to &quot;grandma&quot; on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged.. and he's wearing high heels.<br /> <br /> *'''Revise, accept.''' It's plausible, but I'm not sure the high heels part is necessary. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> === [[the facts]] ===<br /> <br /> ==== Channel 3 ====<br /> <br /> The television was on Channel 3. Most VCRs in the United States (and other NTSC countries) send their signals on channel 3 or 4.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' I just don't think this is very interesting.

Most VCRs can be changed to work on either 3 or 4. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ==== Homestar's cartoon ====<br /> <br /> The irony of the conversation between Strong Bad and Homestar is that Homestar really ''does'' eponymously star in many of his own cartoons, however, because the website has been hijacked by Strong Bad to the extent that it's hardly Homestar's website any more, it may seem that Homestar doesn't have his own cartoon.<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite/Decline.''' I'm not sure this belongs in Fun Facts, as written at least. It's speculative, and the idea is obvious to most people. --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 19:39, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]<br /> *'''Decline.'''

More opinion than fact. --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> *'''Weak Rewrite.''' Less obvious to newcomers, but a decline is reasonable. Should be shortened to one line, and read &quot;Homestar is the eponymous star of,&quot; since eponymous has no adverb (see [http://www.askoxford.com Ox. Engl. Dict.] or [http://dictionary.reference.com dictionary.com]). --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> === [[radio]] ===<br /> <br /> ==== Four-and-twenty stone ====<br /> 1936 Strong Bad mentions the radio adding &quot;four-and-twenty stone to one's voice&quot;. This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' While I don't see how it's a reference to the nursery rhyme, any more than it's a reference to the Chaucerian miller, I believe [[TBC]] wouldn't promote marijuana here. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 16:39, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' The 420 chemicals part is a myth. The number refers to 4:20pm, supposedly when most people light up. I concur with beanluc, although putting 4:20 next to &quot;stone&quot; should have been avoided. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> *Just a comment: 4 and 20 stones is not a reference to marijuana, but maybe to That A Ghost, where the reward was 27 and 1 pennies.<br /> **Doubtful. The &quot;26 and 1 pennies&quot; line is reference to how old British currency was expressed as &quot;two and six&quot; (for two shillings and sixpence). &quot;Four and twenty&quot; is just an old-fashioned way of saying &quot;twenty-four&quot;. [[User:Upsilon|--[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' The term 'stone' is an old measure of weight. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' I concur with Upsilon about Sing a Song of Sixpence (&quot;four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie&quot;, four-and-twenty being the handiest number in the &quot;old format&quot; available in the minds of the audience) and with Lyzz (a stone is fourteen pounds, as noted elsewhere). &amp;mdash; [[User:sninky-chan|sninky-chan]]<br /> <br /> ==== The fish was delish ====<br /> Strong Bad's test phrase may be a refrence to &quot;104.7, The Fish&quot;, a popular christian radio station in Atlanta.<br /> <br /> (Why I think so:I live near Atlanta, and &quot;The Fish&quot; has billboards up all over the place. It's nearly impossible to live in Atlanta for more then three weeks and not see one. TBC Must have at least heard of them.

I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot.

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot.

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot.

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

Other emails in which they do this are &quot;[[flashback]]&quot; (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is &quot;behind the black&quot;), &quot;[[for kids]]&quot; where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, &quot;[[the process]]&quot; (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), &quot;[[huttah!]]&quot;, where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and &quot;[[extra plug]]&quot; (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).<br /> <br /> *'''Trim and redirect'''.

All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot.

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

[[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own.

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't.

It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving); both lines are given in a living room in front of an Xmas tree immediately following gift unwrapping, while the screen is zoomed in on a speaker giving a monologue; both have the same context of philosophy on gift-giving; and TBC have referenced 80s Xmas specials [[The Best Decemberween Ever|before]]. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually. Peanuts and The Grinch are also about general gaudiness, Winnie the Poo uses different language &amp; setting, etc. Never saw The Smurfs one. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> === [[the facts]] ===<br /> <br /> ==== Channel 3 ====<br /> <br /> The television was on Channel 3. Most VCRs in the United States (and other NTSC countries) send their signals on channel 3 or 4.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' I just don't think this is very interesting. I'd guess that most people either know this (in an NTSC country) or don't care (everywhere else). --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I don't think people in NTSC countries care either. --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 17:22, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:seedling|seedling]] 14:14, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' Most? I've seen MANY that send to channel 3. --[[User:Ed smildE|ED!smilde]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Most VCRs can be changed to work on either 3 or 4. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ==== Homestar's cartoon ====<br /> <br /> The irony of the conversation between Strong Bad and Homestar is that Homestar really ''does'' eponymously star in many of his own cartoons, however, because the website has been hijacked by Strong Bad to the extent that it's hardly Homestar's website any more, it may seem that Homestar doesn't have his own cartoon.<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite/Decline.''' I'm not sure this belongs in Fun Facts, as written at least. It's speculative, and the idea is obvious to most people. --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 19:39, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Even though I'm the one who put it up there, I realise now that it's rather too obvious. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' More opinion than fact. --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> *'''Weak Rewrite.''' Less obvious to newcomers, but a decline is reasonable. Should be shortened to one line, and read &quot;Homestar is the eponymous star of,&quot; since eponymous has no adverb (see [http://www.askoxford.com Ox. Engl. Dict.] or [http://dictionary.reference.com dictionary.com]). --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> === [[radio]] ===<br /> <br /> ==== Four-and-twenty stone ====<br /> 1936 Strong Bad mentions the radio adding &quot;four-and-twenty stone to one's voice&quot;. This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' While I don't see how it's a reference to the nursery rhyme, any more than it's a reference to the Chaucerian miller, I believe [[TBC]] wouldn't promote marijuana here. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 16:39, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' The 420 chemicals part is a myth. The number refers to 4:20pm, supposedly when most people light up. I concur with beanluc, although putting 4:20 next to &quot;stone&quot; should have been avoided. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> *Just a comment: 4 and 20 stones is not a reference to marijuana, but maybe to That A Ghost, where the reward was 27 and 1 pennies.<br /> **Doubtful. The &quot;26 and 1 pennies&quot; line is reference to how old British currency was expressed as &quot;two and six&quot; (for two shillings and sixpence). &quot;Four and twenty&quot; is just an old-fashioned way of saying &quot;twenty-four&quot;. [[User:Upsilon|--[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' The term 'stone' is an old measure of weight. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ==== The fish was delish ====<br /> Strong Bad's test phrase may be a refrence to &quot;104.7, The Fish&quot;, a popular christian radio station in Atlanta.<br /> <br /> (Why I think so:I live near Atlanta, and &quot;The Fish&quot; has billboards up all over the place. It's nearly impossible to live in Atlanta for more then three weeks and not see one. TBC Must have at least heard of them. Plus, as this was an email about radio, I don't think it's much of a strech. -James)<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' It's actually an old broadcasting cliché - that phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in the recording/broadcast. When those sounds are too &quot;hot&quot;, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the &quot;swishiness&quot;. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]<br /> **Please see below as I'm adding this as a fact for consideration. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====<br /> Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too &quot;hot&quot;, sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the &quot;swishiness&quot;. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:47, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> *'''Modify.''' Could you find a reference? My Googling turned up cooking poets. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> **Poems about cooking or physically having poets for dinner? :P <br /> :Ehm... '''Second''', I guess. Get a reference and it's most likely an Accept from me.--[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 14:15, 17 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> <br /> ==== Crackity towel! ====<br /> <br /> Strong Mad's confused reply to Strong Sad's announcer-voice tirade in the easter egg may refer to Coach Z's &quot;Crackity towel!&quot; in [[Halloween Fairstival]].<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' A vast stretch. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' That's barely a reference. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 21:56, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Ditto.'''

That's because Strong Bad and Cardgage have the same voice. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' The college radio voice has different inflections and doesn't use &quot;almost words&quot; like Cardgage. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> **'''Second'''ed on both accounts. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 05:43, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 21:59, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> ==== Crackotage ====<br /> <br /> Strong Sad's radio announcer voice sounds suspiciously like [[Crackotage]]<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Again, a vast stretch. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second''' --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 22:00, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' They're very similar, but not the same. Also not sure if it's productive to nitpick Matt's voices, such as complaining that the kids from [[Malloween Commercial]] sound like Strong Sad. Didn't keep me from enjoying the toon. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> **'''Second.''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 05:43, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> <br /> ==== Bruce Almighty ====<br /> <br /> &quot;That's the way the cookie crumbles&quot; was Bruce Nolan's sign off phrase for his newscasting job in the Jim Carrey movie &quot;Bruce Almighty.&quot;<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' A common phrase, not unique to Bruce Almighty. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **But has it ever been used on the TV or Radio before the movie? --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]<br /> **Yes..Yes it has. I remember hearing it on The Simpsons in 1997 so this should be declined..

Or maybe '''rewrite''' to state that it's on the same DESK. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:54, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.''' - Just not interesting.

Sterrance is blue, which could be a reference to &quot;Bloo&quot;, another one of the show's main characters.<br /> <br /> *Yeah.... Um. Yeah. I don't like to dis other people's work, but I thought I should submit this for review. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' Yeah, this is definitely not worth it.

I thought this at first, but now it seems like too far a stretch. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ==== Deep Sea Fangily Fish ====<br /> The deep sea fangly fish was featured in the beginning of The Simpsons on December 12th 2004, sorry if I didn't edit this right, I tried my best.<br /> <br /> *'''Neutral.''' I have to see it to beleive it. Can anyone get any information, maybe a picture or something? http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:simpfanglyfish.jpg<br /> Note: Also did some minor edits to the fact (Grammar and punctuation). -[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' - I don't see any connection with The Simpsons, here. The Fangly Fish is similar to the angler fish, an actual fish which also happens to appear in ''Finding Nemo'' and elsewhere.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)<br /> * Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)<br /> **Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]<br /> **Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving); both lines are given in a living room in front of an Xmas tree immediately following gift unwrapping, while the screen is zoomed in on a speaker giving a monologue; both have the same context of philosophy on gift-giving; and TBC have referenced 80s Xmas specials [[The Best Decemberween Ever|before]]. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

The 420 chemicals part is a myth. The number refers to 4:20pm, supposedly when most people light up.

The &quot;26 and 1 pennies&quot; line is reference to how old British currency was expressed as &quot;two and six&quot; (for two shillings and sixpence). &quot;Four and twenty&quot; is just an old-fashioned way of saying &quot;twenty-four&quot;. [[User:Upsilon|--[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> *'''Decline.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.'''

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.'''

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.'''

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.'''

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).<br /> <br /> Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts:<br /> * References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers<br /> * References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)<br /> * ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, &quot;Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'&quot;)<br /> <br /> Things that often do not make good fun facts:<br /> * Speculation (&quot;This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...&quot;)<br /> * Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)<br /> * Things already noted in the transcript<br /> * Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript<br /> <br /> Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.<br /> <br /> When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).<br /> <br /> If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.<br /> <br /> If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; directly under the &lt;tt&gt;== Fun Facts ==&lt;/tt&gt; heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{funfacts2}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; footer to the end of the list as well.<br /> <br /> == Voting ==<br /> New votes cast should generally be as follows:<br /> * '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.<br /> * '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).<br /> * '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a &quot;rewrite&quot; vote with &quot;rewrite&quot; as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''<br /> * '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.<br /> * '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a &quot;second&quot; with a &quot;third&quot;; just make another &quot;second&quot; alongside the first one.)<br /> <br /> The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.<br /> <br /> '''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.<br /> <br /> == To be done ==<br /> <br /> * How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't.

It's not the getting. It's the loving.&quot;<br /> <br /> *I posted this b/c the language is almost identical (Decemberween isn't about giving presents vs. Christmas, it's not the giving), both lines are given while the screen is zoomed in on the character giving the monologue, and both have the same context of cartoons talking about the purpose of giving presents in a Christmas/Decemberween toon. Comments from people who've seen the toon are extra appreciated. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> *That's a *very* far reach. Almost all cliched Christmas stories have a scene where somebody gives their own &quot;true meaning of Christmas&quot; in this same manner.<br /> **This is pretty unique to Garfield, actually.

This may be a reference to marijuana: in popular culture, 420 is the number of chemicals found in marijuana, and is often used as a sly reference. &quot;Stone&quot; may be a further play on words, referring to being &quot;stoned&quot;, or high on marijuana, as well as to the unit of weight.<br /> <br /> *'''Decline.''' Unlikely. It's more probable that it's a reference to Sing a Song of Sixpence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> **'''Second.''' While I don't see how it's a reference to the nursery rhyme, any more than it's a reference to the Chaucerian miller, I believe [[TBC]] wouldn't promote marijuana here. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/&lt;small&gt;&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/small&gt;'']] 16:39, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **'''Second.''' The 420 chemicals part is a myth. The number refers to 4:20pm, supposedly when most people light up. I concur with beanluc, although putting 4:20 next to &quot;stone&quot; should have been avoided. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> **'''Second.''' --[[User:Ninjin Ninja|Ninjin Ninja]]<br /> *Just a comment: 4 and 20 stones is not a reference to marijuana, but maybe to That A Ghost, where the reward was 27 and 1 pennies.<br /> **Doubtful. The &quot;26 and 1 pennies&quot; line is reference to how old British currency was expressed as &quot;two and six&quot; (for two shillings and sixpence). &quot;Four and twenty&quot; is just an old-fashioned way of saying &quot;twenty-four&quot;. [[User:Upsilon|--[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> *'''Decline.''' The term 'stone' is an old measure of weight. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]<br /> <br /> ==== The fish was delish ====<br /> Strong Bad's test phrase may be a refrence to &quot;104.7, The Fish&quot;, a popular christian radio station in Atlanta.<br /> <br /> (Why I think so:I live near Atlanta, and &quot;The Fish&quot; has billboards up all over the place. It's nearly impossible to live in Atlanta for more then three weeks and not see one. TBC Must have at least heard of them.

Maybe this is because he was called &quot;Strong Bad.&quot; -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004<br /> *'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Well, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> **The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed &quot;Dan&quot;. Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> ***What &quot;obvious&quot;? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> ***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In &quot;date,&quot; the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because &quot;Dan and Linda&quot; is said almost immediately after &quot;Stan and Loretta,&quot; and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying &quot;Jerome.&quot; Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br /> *****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly &amp; clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> ******I don't think so. In fact, since &quot;Zack&quot; and &quot;Jack&quot; are much more similar than &quot;Dan&quot; and &quot;Jerome&quot;, the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]<br /> **'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]<br /> *My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better &quot;Decline&quot; argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]<br /> <br /> ==== Dan Vs. Jerome 2 ====<br /> <br /> Homestar's referring to Dan as Jerome is a reference to Stong Bad's calling emailers by names other than their own. Ex: to quote Upsilon a few lines ago, {We might as well put on [[monster truck]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta.&quot; Or, on [[date]], &quot;Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name.&quot; } (needs a major rewrite). --Superdotman<br /> <br /> ==== Soda Physics ====<br /> <br /> The idea of the soda never running out is a likely reference to old cartoons, in which physics don't apply.<br /> <br /> *'''Delete.'''

It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as is evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].<br /> <br /> *'''Rewrite.''' --[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]<br /> *'''Accept.'''

This is a bit of a stretch. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 06:06, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)<br /> *'''Decline.'''
