I have five words for this page: [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
:I have two words for Jay: I concur. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
::I have one word for all y'alls: Agree'd. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hi! I see what you mean and agree with you for the most part. I wasn't aware that there was a Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters page, but it certainly makes sense. Here's the thing though: I came to HRwiki and typed "Brainkrieg," expecting to find a page, but the Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters page wasn't the most apparent place to look... so how about this? I propose a redirect to [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Brainkrieg|Brainkrieg]]. Sorry for causing someone trouble. Do whatever you think is best. :) [[User:Maadio|maadio]] 03:24, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
:To me, that seems very reZONable. In fact, I'm a bit surprised there wasn't already a redirect. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

== Oh one more thing... ==

I was also looking for all the [[Category:Bands|fictional bands]] in the HR website, and though [[Cool Tapes]] was in there, Brainkrieg wasn't. I just thought that was an oversight that could be easily corrected. That's all... [[User:Maadio|maadio]] 03:30, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Maadio:

'''BrainKrieg''' is a High School ''Death Metal'' Band existing in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] universe. Very little is known about them except that they are a three-piece, the drummer has at least two bass drums, and they aren't very good. In fact, they got last place in the talent show. Their lyrics consist of words like "Deli-Style" and "De-La-Soul" followed by "Chugga-Jigga-Wuggas."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Email, ah ooh, ooh, ooh ah ooh, email. ''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: death metal</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I'm in this death metal band at my school, and I am in need 
of some of your expert lyrical advice: what words sound 
really cool when you scream 'em at the top of your lungs? 
Dane 
Corvallis, OR 
</blockquote>

''{He says "Ding dong, string strong, bing bong" instead of "Dear Strong Bad."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whoa! You must go to a pretty cool school. Most schools just have a marching band or maybe a jazz ensemble. But a death metal band? That's extracurriculariffic! ''{clears screen}'' Now let's see, first, you'd better be ugly, Dane. Or fat. The gift of death metal does not smile on the good looking. If there's any doubt, go ahead and hot-glue some corn flakes to your face. That'll do the trick. Now, I'm no geographist, but I don't think Oregon is anywhere near Scandinavia, which seems to be the only place left where death metal will get you any chicks. ''{clears screen}'' As for lyrics, you've got it all wrong! Screaming words at the ''top'' of your lungs is for people with blond hair. Ya know, words like 'tonite,' 'wooh-mon,' and the name of any street in L.A. ''{types "run 'webcam'"}'' Check it out! ''{clears screen. A window with a camera shot of Larry Palaroncini pops up.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{sings the following lines, which appear below the shot under the screen name "ladeezluvlarry71"}'' tonight! wooh-mon! we'll be drivin' down Sepulveda with the t-top down?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Larry.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{the words continue to appear below Larry's image}'' no prob, Strong Bad. HEY! i'm gonna b online later on playing an MMORPG if you wanna join my guild!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, maybe.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' no wait! ''{the text "you kicked ladeezluvlarry71 offline" appears in red. The window closes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So for death metal, you want to scream from the bowels of your lungs. The bowels! Words like, ''{in a deep, sinister voice, and with the words in green, spooky letters}'' 'decay,' 'deranged,' 'decrepit,' and um, 'delouse.' In fact, you really can't go wrong with anything that starts with d-e. 'Cept for maybe

''{cut to the auditorium from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], with a singer, bassist, and drummer on stage}''

'''SINGER:''' Dentist!

'''BACK-UP:''' Jugga jigga wugga!

'''SINGER:''' Deli-style!

'''BACK-UP:''' Jugga jigga wugga!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{in Teen Girl Squad voice}'' That was [[Brainkrieg]]. They got last place. ''{in normal voice}'' So let's recap: ugly, Nordic, bowels, d-e words. Now all you gotta do is ''{cut to Strong Mad in the Basement}'' hunch all upon yourself, pretend you're holding a mystical orb in each hand ''{Strong Mad holds out his hands and a circular outline appears in each}'' and let the evil flow forth. ''{The scene darkens. The circular outlines fade away. A drum beat begins.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{bounces up and down}'' DeVito. DENIRO! DELUISE!! ''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, imitating drum beat}'' Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-baddle! Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-blap! Whoa! Boy, do I ever need a quadruple bass pedal. And now, let's watch how it all comes together on the Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour! ''{Cut to the TV in the basement, on which the text "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon [Hour]" is seen. Strong Bad sits on the couch. Taranchula appears on the screen, along with their logo.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' ''{in pseudo-Scandinavian accents}'' Ja, we are Taranchula!

''{logo disappears}''

'''DAVE OLAFTENSTON:''' You just saw videos from Vinger, Schlaugh-ter and the Winnie Wincent Inwasion.

'''SCHENKEL MCDOO:''' Ja, now here's a sneak peek at our new wideo. ''{lifts tone as if asking a question}''

''{The TV cuts to the video. We see a screw on some rusty metal. Cut to another scene with rusty metal. Cut to a piece of beef slithering across rusty metal.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' You will submit to the decoupage!

''{Cut to four screws, one of which moves around quickly.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' The death nail! [[#Footnote|[1]]] (Death nail!)

''{Cut to the beef, which is stabbed by a nail and then bound with metal wires. The beef explodes.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' Down with the decoupage!

''{Cut to the beef slithering over the rusty metal, this time in the opposite direction. Cut to Strong Bad on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Creeping. Rusty. Meat. Truly the heart and soul of all death metal. Except, now I feel like I really need to brush my teeth. Lookin' at all that rust. And beef. While I'm gone, complete this worksheet I've prepared for you aspiring death metal types. And, uh, careful with the hot-glue gun, Dane. ''{He goes offscreen to the left, while the worksheet floats to the front of the screen. The worksheet includes [[The Paper|The Paper's]] customary "Click here to email Strong Bad" link at the bottom.}''

===Footnote===
# This line might also be "death knell." A death knell is a church bell rung when somebody dies. The phrase is somewhat of a cliché in songs or poems about death. The phrase "death nail" might also be a pun on "death knell".

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Scandinavia|Scandinavia]] is a group of countries in northern Europe. It consists of the countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and is sometimes also said to include Finland and Iceland, especially when the term is used in English. Many successful Death and Black Metal bands originate in Scandinavia, and the genres are arguably the most popular there. Examples of famous Death & Black Metal bands include Emperor, Mayhem, Celtic Frost, and Dimmu Borgir. 
*[[Wikipedia:Sepulveda Boulevard|Sepulveda Boulevard]] is a major street in [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]].
*[[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPG]] stands for "'''M'''assively '''M'''ultiplayer '''O'''nline '''R'''ole-'''P'''laying '''G'''ame", the most prominent examples of which are [[Wikipedia:Everquest|Everquest]] and [[Wikipedia:World of Warcraft|World of Warcraft]].  Many MMORPGs include the option to create or join an organized team of players, most often referred to as a guild.
*[[Wikipedia:Decoupage|Decoupage]] is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper bits onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf, etc.
*Although there is no such thing as a quadruple bass pedal, a [[Wikipedia:Bass drum#Double bass|double bass pedal]] is a device used to play one bass drum with both feet, a technique which is practically ''de rigueur'' for death metal drummers. In a particularly elaborate kit, such as that played by the drummer of [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brainkrieg|Brainkrieg]], there might be two differently-tuned bass drums, each with a double pedal, for a total of four pedals; this could be what Strong Bad means.
*A [[Wikipedia:Deltoid muscle|deltoid]] is a thick triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint, used to raise the arm from the side.
**The term "deltoid" is also sometimes used to mean a [[Wikipedia:Geometric kite|geometric kite]].
*To [[Wikipedia:Denatured alcohol|denature]] is most commonly to render unfit to eat or drink without destroying usefulness in other applications, especially to add methanol to ethyl alcohol.
**[[Wikipedia:Denaturation (biochemistry)|Denaturation]] also refers to the process by which macromolecules (usually proteins) drastically change in properties, usually caused by change in heat or acidity. As a common example, cooking food is a form of denaturation.

===Trivia===
*When this email first came out, there was no "back" button at the end. This was fixed in a matter of minutes.
*This is one of the few e-mails to end without [[The Paper|The Paper]].
*The AOL Instant Messenger Screenname "ladeezluvlarry71" does exist. The profile information is the same lyrics he sang to Strong Bad in the email. His away message is his comment about MMORPGs from the email. Sometimes he will respond if you talk nicely to him.
*The death metal worksheet is rendered exclusively in purple ink, suggesting it was produced by a [[Wikipedia:Spirit_duplicator|spirit duplicator]]; this device, commonly called a "ditto machine," was in widespread use in public schools prior to the introduction of photocopiers. The worksheet features two hands on either side flashing the [[Wikipedia:Corna|corna]] and reads:

*This is the first time that the entire band [[Taranchula]] appears, although Dave Bjornborg appeared in the video for "[[Moving Very Slowly]]".


===Remarks===
*One of the members of Taranchula (Schenkel McDoo) is wearing the exact same pink shirt that [[Matt Chapman]] wears in the [[:Image:Videlectrix developers.jpg|promo photo]] for [[Videlectrix]].
*Strong Bad uses a similar email greeting when he says "Ding dong dear Strong Bad" in [[japanese cartoon]].
*The space between "strong" and "bad" in Strong Bad's name is omitted on the end worksheet.
*Larry Palaroncini's lyric "Driving ... with the t-top down?" makes no sense, as a T-top cannot be lowered, but rather opened by removing two panels from the top of the car.
*The music that plays while Larry sings begins playing before Strong Bad even finishes typing the "run webcam" command.
*"Mort", as in the name "Mort Dougland", is a Latin root meaning "death".



===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad stands up at the end of the email, his legs are an abnormal gray color. As he walks away they fluctuate independently between gray and the usual black.
*When Strong Bad types the word "de-" words, the outline expanding around each word appears before he finishes typing it.

===Inside References===
*The TGS Battle of the Crappy High School Bands is similar to the Battle of the Bands in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].
*The popup title "Video [[Thyme]]" is a reference to "Message Thyme" from [[marzipan]].
*The name of the director of the Taranchula video, Mort Dougland, is a reference to [[Teeg Dougland]].
*The growling riff that introduces the "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour" accompanies the appearance of "Taranchula" in [[band names]].

*Dave Olaftenson is most likely played by [[Mike Chapman]], as he sounds very similar to PBtC Strong Bad in the Strong Bad Email [[mile]].

===Real-World References===
*"ladeezluvlarry71" is possibly a reference to rapper [[Wikipedia:LL Cool J|LL Cool J]], whose stage name is an abbreviation of "Ladies Love Cool James".
*[[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] is a highly influential eclectic hip-hop group, matching activist lyrics with artistic [[Wikipedia:Jazz rap|jazz rap]] backings. Their second album, [[Wikipedia:De La Soul is Dead|De La Soul is Dead]] is on [[Matt Chapman]]'s [[Matt Chapman#Favorite Music|favorite album list]]. They recently collaborated with Gorillaz on the hit song "Feel Good Inc." De La Soul was referenced before in [[50 emails]].
*The Taranchula video seems to be inspired by the style and imagery of stop-motion animators [[Wikipedia:Brothers_Quay|The Brothers Quay]], particularly their short film "The Street of Crocodiles" (which features self-mobile screws, meat, and a similar decrepit industrial setting). It is also reminiscent of a number of videos by the band [[Wikipedia:Tool (band)|Tool]], most notably for the song "Sober"; the band's guitarist, who created the videos, is strongly influenced by the Quays.
*Strong Mad's death metal lyrics are a reference to three film and television actors whose last names begin with "D-e": [[Wikipedia:Danny_Devito|Danny DeVito]], [[Wikipedia:Robert_Deniro|Robert De Niro]], and one of the DeLuise family of actors (father [[Wikipedia:Dom_DeLuise|Dom DeLuise]], or sons [[Wikipedia:Peter_DeLuise|Peter DeLuise]], [[Wikipedia:Michael_DeLuise|Michael DeLuise]] or [[Wikipedia:David_DeLuise|David DeLuise]].)
*The "Winnie Wincent Inwasion" is in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Vinnie_Vincent_Invasion|Vinnie Vincent Invasion]]. Vinnie Vincent formed the Invasion after leaving [[Wikipedia:KISS_%28band%29|KISS]].
*"Schlaugh-ter" is probably meant to be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Slaughter_(band)|Slaughter]], a hair metal band formed near the end of that genre's mass popularity. Interestingly enough, it was formed mostly out of former members of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
*"Vinger" is more than likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Winger|Winger]], an oft-ridiculed hair metal band most famous for songs such as "Headed for a Heartbreak."
*MTV had a show called the Heavy Metal Half-Hour in 1987. It later became the Hard 30, then disappeared entirely.
**The "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour" may also be a parody of "[[Wikipedia:Headbanger's Ball|Headbanger's Ball]]," a metal-oriented music-video segment on [[Wikipedia:MTV|MTV]] that aired in the late 1980s up through 1994. Headbanger's Ball had a reputation for disappointing metal fans by claiming to play hardcore metal but often favoring videos by such pop-metal acts as Motley Crue and Poison. "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour" also plays on the name of MTV's "Half-hour Comedy Hour."
*The "Video Thyme" player appears to parody [[Wikipedia:AOL Instant Messenger|AOL Instant Messenger's]] video chat function.
*Dave Bjornborg's name is probably derived from the name of [[Wikipedia:Björn Borg|Björn Borg]], a famous tennis player. Borg was also mentioned in [[Sample of Style]].
*Strong Bad's suggestion of hotglueing cornflakes to one's face is a possible reference to math-metal band [[Wikipedia:Mudvayne|Mudvayne]], whose guitarist once glued large triangular cornchips to his already-greasepainted face for a music video.
* The e-mail song Strong Bad sings is set to the tune of "In Da Club" by [[Wikipedia:50 Cent|50 Cent]].
* The "bowels of your lungs" growl is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Death grunt|Death Growl]] used in various [[Wikipedia:Grindcore|Grindcore]], [[Wikipedia:Sludge Metal| Sludge Metal]], and [[Wikipedia:Death Metal|Death Metal]] bands.
*The band name "Brainkrieg" is a reference to Nargaroth's often-parodied album "[[Wikipedia:Black Metal ist Krieg|Black Metal ist Krieg]]".

Peasant's Quest

Maadio — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 20:15:12 GMT

Maadio: fixed capital I in "BURNiNATED"

[[Image:peasantsquest.png|thumb|A game fit for a peasant!]]

''"Control a short-panted 'peasant' named Rather Dashing as he stumbles through Peasantry in his 'quest' to get revenge on a dragon thing."'' —[[Videlectrix]]

A real long time ago, in the peasant kingdom of [[Peasantry]], some people lived... in fear. You are [[Rather Dashing]], a peasant wearing short pants, who returns from his vacation to find his thatched cottage BURNiNATED! You set out on a quest to get revenge on [[Trogdor]] once and for all.
So will he stay alive and protect this peasant kingdom from burnination?
''YOU'' decide!!!

'''Date:''' August 2, 2004

'''Page Title:''' Peasant's Quest

== Instructions ==
*Look around by typing "look".
*Talk to others by typing "talk".
*Take items by typing "get (item)".
*Use items by typing "use (item)". You can also "throw (item)", "give (item)","look (item)", and some other action words.
*Type "inv" to see your inventory.
*Type "save" to save your game and "load" to load a game. ([[Wikipedia:HTTP_cookie|Cookies]] must be enabled.)
*Press + or - to speed up or slow down your character.
*Type "ask about (name)" to gather information from other characters.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On July 18th, 2005, Peasant's Quest received a "Top Dog" award from [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=5243 Home of the Underdogs].

*The commands "make friends with Kerrek" and "buy Kerrek a cold one" were added after the e-mail [[for kids]] was released.

===Goofs===
*If you type "where" on the screen above the Mountain Pass, you'll see that it has no name.

*Typing "look" on [[Poor Gary]]'s screen will still say "rotten ol' horse" even after he's fled.

*If you get [[Kerrek]]'s belt after getting on fire, the animation of getting the belt won't show you on fire.

===Glitches===
*A strange mapping bug allows you to "warp" to the [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|baby lady]]'s house and the inn from another screen entirely. Walk into where you would go to the hidden glen, but go up through the fence and to the left.

*On the screen containing [[Jhonka]]'s Cave, walk into the bottom left corner and you'll end up in the inn, however you'll only be able to walk along the bottom and right sides of the screen.

*Standing behind the "INN" sign while standing as close as possible to the inn itself will cause part of Rather Dashing to appear in front of the sign.

*If you fail the quiz from one of the three keepers of Trogdor, instead of loading a game, just click on RESTART on the load menu after Game Over. Skip the game's intro and then press Enter. This will once again bring up the question you answered wrong while you're standing by the knight at the entrance of Trogdor's cave. Answering the question wrong again just gets you another Game Over, answering right just makes the box disappear.

*After you kill the Kerrek, go into the baby cottage. It will be raining inside.
**It will also rain inside the inn.

*On the Game Over screen, hit Enter twice and the animation of your bones will start over.
**If you die, and press restart, and then press enter twice, you will go through another death scene.

*After typing "use sword" in Trogdor's inner sanctum, walk right for an interesting glitch. Even though Rather Dashing's graphic is locked in place, he will get burninated even though he is nowhere near Trogdor. The fire will come from Trogdor's neck instead of his nose.

*Download the Flash file and start a game. At any time type "save". In the save menu, click on the Flash player's control tab (next to file and view), and select "play". It loads the archery game and you can get the bow before you are supposed to, plus you can do it over again to get more than the total points.

*In Trogdor's Lair, you will hear a tune. Keep pressing load game and it will keep repeating.

*If you type "get mask" at the well after placing the pebbles in the bucket, but before getting the Monster Maskus, you will not get the mask and will be unable to get it through any means.

*After you get the baby and the lady leaves, the chair continues rocking, although there is nobody in it.

=== Inside References ===
*Sometimes, when you jump in to the hay bale (after being covered with mud), it says you jump in like a "two years old boy". This is a reference to [[Main Page 15]].

*The screen title "River b/w Tree" is a reference to [[Arcade Game]], in which one of the items on Homestar's list is "pork b/w beans". The abbreviation "w/" for "with" is not used, instead it's "b/w" which was used on old vinyl records and singles to refer to the B-side ("b/w" = "backed with"). It was also used in [[Strong Sad's Lament]] as "Arts b/w Crafts".

*If you try to jumping in the left side of the lake, it responds "Not so fast, Swimmer [[Dan]]!".

*When you reach the top of the mountain, it says "Nice jorb climbing the cliff.", which is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]], as well as [[Coach Z]]'s accent in general.

*[[Jhonka]] is from the e-mail [[impression]].

*[[Kerrek]] is from the e-mail [[interview]].

*At the bale of hay, if you type "Get hay", it makes a reference to [[Thy Dungeonman]] and [[Thy Dungeonman II]] by saying "Who do you think you are, some kind of Thy Dungeonman?"
**There is another Thy Dungeonman reference if you "look jhonka."
**When you type in "die" it says "That wasn't very smart," another reference to Thy Dungeonman.

*If you type in "get plague" at the burned out tree, the game calls you Mispeller Jones [sic], a reference to the "Interruptor Jones" quip from [[morning routine]].

*After killing the Kerrek the screen says "ARROWED!! Nice shot. You smote the Kerrek! He lay there stinking." ''Arrowed!'' is a running joke used in [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[TROGDOR!]].

*If you return to the corpse of the Kerrek and type "kill Kerrek," it says "Yeah. You smote the Kerrek. You deserve a trophy full of Mutton-ums." This is a reference to the toon [[New Boots]], where [[Strong Bad]] claims [[The Cheat]] could have earned a trophy full of Steak-ums.

=== Real-World References ===
====Other Video Games====
*The game itself is a parody of [[Wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]] and many classic adventure games.

*The filename of the game is disk4of12.html, a nod to old PC games which were often distributed on multiple floppy disks and which prompted the player to insert the next disk at certain points during installation or gameplay.

*Starting from the Hidden Glen screen, turn left as you exit through the hole in the fence. This allows you enter the screen "located" above the Hidden Glen, which turns out to be the interior of the Baby Lady Cottage. Entering the cottage in this manner changes the way you interact with your surroundings, allowing you to walk through walls, and even walk an indeterminate distance off the edge of the screen. Possibly this is not an error, but rather a reference to [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari's]] old ''Adventure'' game, in which you could peer off the edge of one screen into another, and enter a secret room which is said to be the first instance of an "Easter egg" in a game.

*When you smite the Kerrek, it'll first say "Here goes, Kid Icarus". This is a reference to a [http://www.nintendo.com Nintendo] game of the same name: [[Wikipedia:Kid Icarus|Kid Icarus]], in which your main weapon is a bow.

*The save screen may be a reference to the old [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda]] games in format, the addition of hearts through progress, and the addition of artifacts that are added to your body (shield, helmet, sword).

*Typing "light lantern" is a reference to the text-based [[Wikipedia:Zork|Zork]] series, in which you always carried a Brass Lantern, and which is parodied in Thy Dungeonman.

*When you obtain the Kerrek's belt, Rather Dashing holds it over his head in a fashion similar to Link of The Legend of Zelda.

*Naked Ned popping in and out from the tree is similar to [[Wikipedia:Smoke (Mortal Kombat)|Smoke]] from [[Wikipedia:Mortal Kombat II|Mortal Kombat II]] in the living forest level, where you would occasionally see him pop out, look, and return behind the tree.

*The noise you hear when the disk read error occurs is very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] disk drive, for when the drive is trying to load a disk, it sometimes loses its place where it was loading and made a loud clicking noise.

====Music====
*If you type "look" near the hay, it says, "It reminds you of a warm, safe place where as a child you'd hide," a reference to "[[Wikipedia:Sweet Child O' Mine|Sweet Child O' Mine]]" by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].

*Looking at the rock in the middle of the river gives a reference to "Rock of Ages" by [[Wikipedia:Def Leppard|Def Leppard]].

*When you scare Poor Gary it says he "broke on through to the other side," a reference to "Break on Through" by [[Wikipedia:The Doors|the Doors]].

*Hugging the tree at the hay bale produces a reference to a well-known [[Wikipedia:The Byrds|Byrds]] song. However, once you do this you seem to get stuck. Pressing the down key will remedy this.

*If you look at the cracked ground, it says something about it being a place in which rock stars make amazing guitar solos — a reference to [[Wikipedia:Slash (musician)|Slash's]] solo on "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses.

====TV/Movies/Comic Books====
*At the bale of hay, type "look tree". It says, "[[IMDb:0074697|It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown]]," a 1976 [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]] TV special.

*When you first talk to the knight guarding the mountain pass, he calls you "Dragonheart", a reference to [[IMDb:0116136|the movie]] of the same name.

*If you try to get the pebbles but are too far away, it says, "You try to do your best Mr. Fantastic impression." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]].

*If you go to the screen with "River b/w Tree" and type "look hut" or "look cottage", it says, "You see a cottage in the distance. You hold your fingers up to one eye and pretend to squash it." This is a reference to the Head-Crusher sketch on [[Wikipedia:The Kids in the Hall|Kids in the Hall]].

*Using the baby at the hole of the mysterious cabin brings up a message "Deploying Q-Baby...", which is probably a reference to items such as the Q-Boat, provided to fictional British secret agent [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] by [[Wikipedia:Q (James Bond)|Q]], an inventor of cool, cool spy gadgets.

*If you try to give the Jhonka something he'll reply with, "Don't need nothing from no filthy peasantses!!" This is a reference to the ''Lord of the Rings'' character [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]], whom Jhonka somewhat resembles.

*After jumping in the hay the game comments you look like "that guy from that one show", a reference to Cousin It from [[Wikipedia:The Addams Family|The Addams Family]] who looked like a walking hay bale.

====Other====
*Typing "throw baby" at the west screen of the lake returns the message, "I guess you misread the walkthrough at GameFAQs..." [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQs]] is a popular gaming website known for its huge number of walkthroughs or FAQs for just about every game there is ([http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/online/game/922153.html including Peasant's Quest]).

*When you look at the painting in the inn, it says that there are dogs playing "Magic: The Nerdening". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|''Magic: the Gathering'']] card game, as well as to the stereotype of ''Magic''-players as being antisocial nerds. The painting itself is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cassius Marcellus Coolidge|C. M. Coolidge's]] series of nine oil paintings featuring dogs playing poker, as well as the follow-up painting "Looks Like Four of a Kind".
*If you try to "scare gary" before getting the mask, two of the three possible responses are references. The first ("You tell Gary the story about the kid who pops this big zit he has and all these baby spiders come out. It doesn't phase him.") is a reference to an urban legend, as is the second ("You tell Gary the "THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!" one but he doesn't act very scared. He's probably heard it before."), which was made into the 1979 horror movie ''[[IMDb:0080130|When a Stranger Calls]]''.

*Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M.

*The berries on the bushes are called "Crunch Berries." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|cereal]] of the same name.

*Trying to jump in the hay from far away will cause a reply which includes a usage of the initials MJ. This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]], a basketball player who had an incredible vertical jump, and was able to dunk the ball from the foul line, which is several feet away.

*Looking at the rocking chair after the baby lady leaves will get you a message saying "One of those self-rocking kind. Not bad for a brown-collar peasant-type. Must be trickle-down in action." This may be a reference to trickle-down economics; part of [[Wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]]'s economic plan for the United States was based on the theory that allowing those with the most economic influence (businesses and the upper-class) to flourish would "trickle down" and benefit the rest of the economy in the form of increased spending, saving, and investment. Therefore, according to the trickle-down theory, given fair market conditions, the best way to enhance overall economic health is to concentrate economic benefits on those with the most economic influence.
**Furthermore, "brown-collar" is a reference to white- and blue-collar jobs, referring to office work and manual labor, respectively. There is no brown collar, but it can only be assumed it represents whatever brown-robed peasants do.

'''Fishing Challenge '91''' is a game by [[Totalsoft Electronicals LLC]]. It is only accessible via the email "[[lures & jigs]]."

Strong Bad sees how good the graphics are and assumes the sound will be just as good. It isn't.

== Game Play ==
*Press "L" to lure
*Press "J" to jig.

*Green Fish = 50 or 100 pts.
*Grey Fish = 100 pts.
*Red Fish = 400 or 500 pts.

==Hints and Tips==
*Grey Fish seem to respond best to lures, while Green and Red fish respond best to jigs.

*If you repeatedly press J and L simultaneously you'll catch every fish on the screen.

*The score in the lower-left corner only displays 4 digits.

HRWiki:Manual of Style

Maadio — Sat, 12 Nov 2005 20:02:09 GMT

Maadio: /* Capitalization */

==Capitalization==
*Capitalize as much as possible according to how it is displayed on the official site. This especially includes what Strong Bad types in [[Strong Bad Emails]].
*Whenever the words are spoken but not seen, use standard capitalization.
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] is a special case. Correct Strong Bad's capitalization to be more in line with standard capitalization.
*Capitalize the ''The'' in characters' names that have been established to contain the [[Definite Article|definite article]].
*Never under any circumstances should you capitalize the "i" in "[[Trogdor|TROGDOR THE BURNiNATOR]]."

==Spelling==
*Spell words as much as possible according to how they are displayed on the official site. This especially includes what Strong Bad types in [[Strong Bad Emails]].
*If Strong Bad misspells a word, and it needs to be pointed out, put "[''sic'']" following the word in question. Use brackets and italics as illustrated here.

===Special cases===
*''Alright'' is nonstandard for ''all right''. If Strong Bad types "alright", however, spell it as he does.

===American English===
*American spelling is the preferred form on all article pages (with a few exceptions). The Brothers Chaps use American English throughout homestarrunner.com, and the characters live in [[Free Country, USA]].

==Punctuation==
===Colon===
*When a colon follows a word that is bold, the colon should be bold also. The two most common occurances of this are in transcripts and filmographies:
:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you talking about, Emily?
:'''Debut:''' [[for kids]]
*The [[Glossary]] is an exception to this rule, because some entries have punctuation as part of them:
:'''BALEETED!''': Another way to say "deleted".
===Ellipsis points and suspension points===
*Whenever you are quoting material and are omitting a portion of it, use ellipsis points preceded and followed by a space:
:"Well, Lasko, The Cheat is not very popular and ... I don't even think he has a computer."
*Whenever the omitted part of what you are quoting falls at the end of a complete sentence, use a period plus ellipsis points (with a space before and after the points):
:"Except for that Strong Sad. That guy's a real bore. ... So, I hope I bored you back into your mind."
*Whenever the omitted part is at the end of the quotation, use ellipsis points plus a period with no internal space:
:"So, I hope I bored you...."
*Whenever you are using suspension points to indicate a pause or break in thought, put a space after but not before.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, like the Great Leg... the Leg of Hope... Tape-Leg?

===Quotation marks===
*Use double quotation marks for most quoted material.
*Use single quotation marks for quotations within quotations.
*As for whether to include punctuation inside or outside the quotation marks, there isn't really one standard, due to the vastly different things that get quoted. In the second example here, there's no doubt as to whether or not the punctuation is part of the link. Use your best judgment based on which particular style fits a given sentence.
:*For running text, punctuation inside the quotation marks is usually appropriate:
::"One o' them said they'd buy me lunch. But I don't see nobody taking me to Chick-fil-A."
:*For other things, it is sometimes better to put the punctuation ''outside'' the quotation marks:
::One of the links in the navbar is called "rando".

Can of Water Soup

Maadio: my bad, yo.

[[Image:watersoupcans.png|thumb|150px|"I kick it around ever since my dog worshed away in the storm of '28."]]
The '''Can of Water soup''' is the half-crushed, metallic, black-and-white can labeled "SOUP" that The Homestar Runner kicks around. In [[Kick the Can]], the Can of Water Soup produces a wide variety of sometimes disturbing effects on [[The Homestar Runner]], who explains that he has kicked the can around since his dog was "worshed away" in the storm of '28. No explanation has been given as to the connection between the Can and the death of The Homestar Runner's pet.

In the [[20X6 vs. 1936]] video, it is the Can which first alerts [[Stinkoman]] to [[The Homestar Runner]]'s presence.
