Hi, everyone. I discovered Homestar Runner a few years ago. I found the wiki around the same time.

Not sure there's much more to say. ..

== Transcript ==
''{Open with the silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand at night, and the woods behind it. Strong Bad and The Cheat, clad in black, sneak up to the back of the stand. They glance around to make sure nobody is watching.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' You said it, The Cheat. Once we get our hands on Bubs's fundraiser candy bars, our troubles will be ''over''! We can retire, maybe get a little place in Strong Badia, I dunno.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, remember the drill: go straight for the crispy crackly ones. Don't waste your time on them plain ol' chocolates. Those things are ''fool's'' gold! Okay, hand me the explosives.

''{The Cheat hands Strong Bad a bunch of [[Fthoom-Bang]] brand bottle rockets duct-taped together and then lights them with the [[BMW Lighter]]. Strong Bad sets them against the back door of Bubs' stand, and then they both take cover. The rockets launch and fireworks explode in the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I told you to remove the ''fthoom''! ''{The Cheat covers his face}'' All we needed was the ''bang''!

''{Homestar Runner arrives, making car-alarm siren noises.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Weh ooh weh ooh weh ooh weh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, we've been found ou—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DoooooooOOOOOOOOOOWIP! DoooooooOOOOOOOOOOWIP!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, we've—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meh! Meh! Meh! Meh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DooooooooDEEEEEEEEEEdooooooooDEEEEEEEEEE! ''{He stops, leans forward, and looks at Strong Bad expectantly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after a pause, apathetically}'' Oh no we've been found out.

''{Coach Z walks up behind them}''

'''COACH Z:''' I mighta guessed you was behind all this!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z, get these low-lifes out of my sight!

''{Coach Z starts dragging them off. Strong Bad's heels leave little trails of dirt in the ground as he is dragged along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You set me up! You set me up! The Cheat, tel-tell him that he set you up. ''{The Cheat starts squealing with him}'' YOU SET ME UP!!!

''{Cut to title sequence. Mugshots of Strong Bad appear along with the titles. '''"THE BROTHERS CHAPS PRESENT"''' '''"THE FIRST CARTOON IN A WHILE"''' '''"WE LIKE TO CALL IT"''' '''"STRONG BAD IS IN JAIL CARTOON"''' '''"MISSY AND MATT ON VOCALS"''' '''"MIKE ON DRUMS"''' Cut to Strong Sad sitting at a table, writing a letter and narrating.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dear Prisoner Number 5408, aka Strong Bad, aka Professor Tor Coolguy, I can only hope your incarceration turns your life around as much as it has mine. I feel... cooler, and... less like I suck so bad. I've made some changes around the house. Your computer room is now my Tai Chi space.

''{Cut to the computer room, where Strong Sad has set up calligraphy scrolls, Taijitu (Yin Yang symbols), and a candle, while he performs tai chi.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hai-toh... Beng... Gait!

''{Cut back to him writing}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I gotta go. Marzipan and I have a ''{[[Foreign Words|enunciates heavily]]}'' baklava in the oven. Hoping you don't get shivved, Strong Sad.

''{Cut to jail, which is just a cardboard box with seven slits cut in it sitting in the field. Strong Mad is visiting, and Strong Bad has a hairnet on. Judging by the tally marks on the inside of the cell, he and The Cheat have been there for a week.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta get us outta the joint, man! I don't think The Cheat is gonna make it.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is frothing at the mouth and has hair sticking all over the place, going crazy. He's standing by three metal cans marked Food, Water, and Eww.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WRAH!

''{Strong Mad lifts up the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet lady freedom! Let's make out!

''{The Cheat wipes off the froth and fixes his hair.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, which sound like "Let's make out!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, shut up! What, are you horning in on my girl? Only I get to make out with—

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. The escaping.

''{They run off. Strong Mad puts the box down and stands there for a while, blinking, before holding up a yellow jackhammer labeled "JACK HAMMA!" smashed into a yellow cake with pink icing and put on a plate.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I BROUGHT YOU A CAKE!

''{Cut to the field. Marzipan is reading a newspaper, and Homestar walks up to her.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, lady.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, did you know that crime is on the rise?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, no. Is it?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes, things are very serious now. So what are you going to do to protect me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I could put a dash between "Homestar" and "Runner" from now on.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Really? You'd do that for me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs}'' No, of course not.

''{Marzipan frowns and glares. Strong Bad and The Cheat run past in the distance, carrying off the King of Town's crown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat, we struck it rich this time! Now we can retire to ''da MOOOOOOOOOOOON''!!

''{Cut to inside police headquarters. Coach Z and Bubs are doing a police sketch of the thief of the King of Town's crown.}''

'''BUBS:''' So, describe to me what the perpetrator looked like.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Had a head like a big ol' round ol'...

'''BUBS:''' Okay...

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ...red ol'...

'''BUBS:''' Uh-huh...

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ...nasty ol' egg.

'''BUBS:''' I see...

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': And hands looked like biscuit dough!

'''BUBS:''' Uh-huh. Is this the man?

''{Bubs holds up a sketch of a guy in a sweater with the number 7 on it with biscuit dough hands and a craggy face, looking nothing like Strong Bad. He has a speech bubble saying "I did it!!"}''

'''COACH Z:''' It was Biscuitdoughhandsman! I knew it!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are hiding out behind the fence, where they've stashed all their loot. Among their loot is a cookie jar that looks like Trivia Time, the framed picture titled "Thank You" from Marzipan's house, and some bags labeled "some savings". The Cheat is wearing the King of Town's crown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat! Quit being such an old The Cheat. We gotta come out of retirement for this one last job.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{replies}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nononono, nononono! It's like this: the ransom money becomes the new retirement money. And the retirement money becomes the new college fund. And the college fund... eh, we blow on a really tricked-out van.

''{The Cheat ponders, then agrees. Strong Bad turns aside and starts talking to himself}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes! Another victim claimed by Strong Bad's Powers of Persuasion. No living The Cheat can resist the P.O.P.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hang on, I'm not done yet! ''{turns aside again}'' And eh... um... okay I was done. Let's go.

''{Cut to the inside of the King of Town's castle, nighttime. The King of Town arrives home.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Poopsmith, I'm home! Man, I feel like some serious biscuit dough. Poopsmith? ''{goes outside}'' Poopsmith!

''{Goes to the pile of whatsit. The shovel is there, the pile is there, but the Poopsmith is not.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Poopsmith?! ''{Zoom in on the shovel}''

'''BACKGROUND VOICES:''' Dun-dun-DUN!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' THEY'VE STOLEN MY POOPSMITH!!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are there, and Homestar has a flashlight.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom, the Poopsmith is missing, and we gots to find him. We're your first and last line of defense! Only ''you'' can prevent scouting! Boy, do we need forest fires!

''{turns around for a second, and then turns back to Pom Pom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-ha! Pom Pom! ''{clicks the flashlight on and shines it in his face}'' What are you doing out past curfew?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't play games with me, Roundy-Man! Just who are you working with?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Runner, eh? Sounds like a no-goodnik to me!

''{Starts clicking the light on and off in Pom Pom's face, who's now very annoyed.}''

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

''{Homestar sniffs him}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom... did you step in something?

''{Cut to Strong Badia, daytime, behind the fence. Frank Bennedetto, an iPod, and the Poopsmith are the latest additions to Strong Bad's stash. The Poopsmith is tied-up and duct-taped across the mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, doodiem'n. It's time to deliver my ultimate ultimatum. The Cheat! Ready with the viderocamera!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{holds up a camera with "property of kevin" written on it. He begins filming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, hang on! Almost forgot to disguise my identity. ''{puts on a red ski mask with a cutout for his nose}'' Now we're ready. Attention, whatever weirdos are concerned about the Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Oh, hey Strong Bad. ''{camera pans to see Homestar standing right there, Pom Pom close behind}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—? Aww, holy ''crap''! I ''thought'' I smelled bacon! How'd you find us?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We followed this mysterious trail the Poopsmith left!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eww!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That, and we got an anonymous tip from Strong Sad.

''{Strong Sad peeks out from behind the fence}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I told them you were behind the fence.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You sold me out. You sold me out! The Cheat, tell him that he... Oh, never mind.

''{Coach Z and Bubs walk up}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! It's just Strong Bad.

'''COACH Z:''' Once again, Biscuitdoughhandsman slips through our fingers.

''{They grab Strong Bad and The Cheat and drag them off, The Cheat making The Cheat noises in protest}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, kids and people, it just goes to show, Strong Sad doing tai chi is really, really funny.

''{Strong Sad peeks out from behind the fence again}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? It was! ''{Homestar starts imitating Strong Sad's tai chi}'' You were all like Pah-ku-lah! Honh! Pwing!

''{Marzipan walks in with a plate full of baklava}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Who wants some ''bak-a-lava''? ''{the cartoon fades out}'' ''Baka-mah-lava'', anybody?

''{The cartoon sits at the "THE END" screen for a while, then fades in to Marzipan's Answering Machine.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{on the answering machine}'' Hi, this is Marzipan. ''{beep}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on the answering machine}'' Hello, Marzipan! This is Professor Tor Coolguy! I was just calling to see if you'd be interested in PREPARING FOR YOUR ''DOOM''!! Er...e... not really calling to see, uh... I shouldn't have really given you a choice, I mean, uh... you should just go ahead and prepare for your doom. Cause it's on its way, man. It's gonna be some doom. ''{beep}''

''{Cut to jail. Strong Mad is still outside the jail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding the can of 'eww' as if it were a tin-can telephone}'' Ho-ho! Great idea, The Cheat. Even on the inside, Professor Tor Coolguy cannot be stopped!

'''BACKGROUND VOICES:''' Dun-dun-DUN!

''{the cartoon fades out again, back to the "THE END" page. After a while, it cuts to Strong Badia at nighttime, behind the fence. The loot isn't there anymore, but The Poopsmith is, tied-up and with duct-tape over his mouth. After a while, Homestar Runner walks up to him, clicking the flashlight on and off in his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, buster, move it along here! Nothing to see, nothing to see! ''{continues to click the flashlight on and off in his face for a while, pauses, then pulls out the sketch of Biscuitdoughhandsman and clicks the flashlight back on}'' Is this you?

''{Homestar clicks the flashlight off again. The cricket sounds fade out.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*"Shivved" is prison slang for being stabbed. A "[[Wikipedia:Shiv (weapon)|shiv]]" is an improvised sharp knife-like weapon made in prison.
*[[Wikipedia:Baklava|Baklava]] is a Turkish dessert, popular in Greece. A recipe for it can be found at [http://www.eatgreektonight.com/recipes/desserts/baklava.html EatGreekTonight.com].
*The line "I thought I smelled bacon" refers to the derogatory term "pigs" for police. Phrases like this were often used on police or detective TV shows in the '70s by criminals and shady informants when the police show up unexpectedly.
*Strong Mad baked a cake with a [[Jack Hamma|jack hammer]] in it for Strong Bad and The Cheat. It is a common cliché in movies for someone to bake a cake with a file in it and give it to someone in prison so that they can use the file to break out.

===Trivia===
*The stolen goods that Strong Bad and The Cheat have stashed behind the fence were:
**[[The King of Town]]'s Crown
**The Poopsmith
**The [[Trivia Time]] Cookie Jar
**[[Senor Cardgage]]'s [[Aldi Bag]]
**[[Strong Sad's iPod]]
**Pom Pom's [[Pom Pilot]]
**[[Frank Bennedetto]] of the [[Homestarmy]]
**The "Thank You" sign from Marzipan's living room
**Bags of "some savings"
*The [[Periodicals|newspaper]] Marzipan is reading says:<blockquote><big>'''The Latest News'''</big> It's all true. All the rumors are true. The crime is on the rise in our very own town. Trust me on this one. I know what I'm talking about. No, wait. I don't. I make stuff up sometimes. That's cool, though, right? Good. I'll keep doing it then. It's a lot easy than fact checking. That stuff can be annoying.</blockquote>
**This is then repeated eight times to fill up the paper.
*After The Poopsmith is captured, Strong Sad's iPod is present behind Strong Bad near the fence. The screen of this device says:
**playlists
**songs
**settings
*The title of the page is "The Bighouse!". At one time, however, when the toon first appeared, the title was "Compy 386!!" just like a [[Strong Bad Email]]. This was fixed and changed to "The Bighouse!" within the first day.
*The Fireworks are called "Fthoom-Bang Brand bottle rockets".
*If the [[Floppy Disk Container]] in [[Computer Room|Strong Bad's computer room]] is zoomed in on during Strong Sad's tai chi, it reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#shogun|shogun]]". This complements the East-Asian–related furnishings in the room.
*The [[Glossary#V|Videro]] camera says "Property of [[Kevin]]."
*Every main character except [[Homsar]] appears in this cartoon.

===Remarks===
*The [[opening credits]] refer to this as the "FIRST CARTOON IN A WHILE", and rightly so, since the last one was [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]], made a year-and-a-half earlier.
[[Image:reversed pom pilot.png|thumb|200px|He likes talking to his "seidal"]]
*Pom Pom's [[Pom Pilot]] screen is flashing and reversed (icons for "Internet", "Solitaire", and "The Ladies" are on the wrong side of the screen and with the words backwards). There is also a blank spot where the "E-mail" icon was seen in [[the bird]].
*The Poopsmith's mouth is duct-taped shut, despite his vow of silence.
*Strong Bad is wearing a hairnet when he is in "jail", but he has no hair, as he said in [[haircut]].
*According to the markings on the wall of the jail, The Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week.
*In the beginning, when The Cheat and Strong Bad are sneaking over to Bubs' Concession Stand, the noise of their walking sounds like gravel. However, once the camera zooms in, what they're walking on is revealed to be grass.
*As Coach Z is dragging The Cheat and Strong Bad to jail, Strong Bad's feet make mud tracks, yet The Cheat's feet leave no tracks. This could possibly be explained by the fact that The Cheat is lighter.
*The [[Bear holding a Shark]] is missing from behind the fence.
*Homestar's flashlight makes two clicks when he turns it on and off, like a push-button flashlight. It appears to have a switch though, which should make only one click.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's shadow in the concession stand's door shows him without his stocking cap.
*When Strong Bad says, "All we needed was the bang!" behind Bubs' Concession Stand, his head moves back, but the shadow stays in the same place for a frame.
*During the scene with Homestar and Pom Pom trying to find the Poopsmith, the Homestar and Pom Pom sprites are shown at full brightness, even though it's dark outside, and even though Homestar was shown in the dark earlier in the cartoon at 75% brightness.
*In two of the mugshots, Strong Bad's right eye is smaller than his left.
*The doorknob to the concession stand overlaps the doorframe, so assuming that there is a knob on the other side, the door wouldn't be able to open at all.
*Coach Z walks in after Strong Bad says "You sold me out!". When he walks out, the Z on his medallion is backwards.

===Inside References===
*The phrase "We can retire to [[The Moon|the MOOOooooooooooooon!]]" is a reference to [[personal favorites]].
*Homestar's first Tai-Chi pose is the same pose old-timey Homestar does in one of the movies for [[Kick the Can]] and [[20X6 vs. 1936]].
*The bags of "some savings" are the same bags as "the payoff" bag in [[unused emails]].
*Strong Bad calling The Poopsmith "doodiem'n" is another example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*This toon contains many references to [[biscuits]].
*There is an instance of [[jumbled words]].
*Strong Bad says "[[The Cheat! I told you to...|The Cheat! I told you to remove the Fthoom!]]"

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Tai chi chuan|Tai Chi]] is "an internal Chinese martial art often practiced with the aim of promoting health and longevity."
**The characters in the background as Strong Sad is practicing Tai Chi are, on the left, the three characters for Tai Chi (Mandarin taijiquan), and on the right, the two characters for [[Wikipedia:Qigong|Qigong]], a system of motion and breathing similar to Tai Chi.
*Homestar's quote "Only ''you'' can prevent scouting! Boy do we need forest fires!" is a mix-up of two popular slogans: "Only YOU can prevent forest fires!", the (pre-2001) catchphrase of [[Wikipedia:Smokey Bear|Smokey Bear]]; and "Boy, do we need scouting!", a quote used by the [[Wikipedia:Scouting|Boy Scouts of America]] and attributed to former President and Eagle Scout [[Wikipedia: Gerald Ford|Gerald Ford]].
*Prof. Tor Coolguy is a sort of play on [[Wikipedia:Characters in Guilty Gear#Sol Badguy|Sol Badguy]], a character from [[Wikipedia:Guilty Gear|Guilty Gear]].
*The Cheat's "Henchman" shirt at the start of this cartoon is a homage to the shirts worn by the henchmen on the old '60s "[[Batman]]" show. The villains' lackeys wore shirts with their cheesy codename on them. The shirts were almost always black with plain white lettering.
*The series of sirens and buzzes that Homestar Runner makes when he discovers Strong Bad and The Cheat (each time interrupting Strong Bad as he tries to say "Oh no, we've been found out") is a takeoff on the well-known Viper car alarm.
*Strong Bad wearing a hairnet while incarcerated is a nod to ''[[Wikipedia:O Brother, Where Art Thou?|O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' and the character Ulysses Everet McGill's wearing a hairnet to sleep.

===Fast Forward===
*The newspaper Marzipan was reading in this cartoon was used again in [[secret recipes]] and [[candy product]].
*In the Email [[other days]], Strong Bad mentions his arrest.
**Likewise, this may have been mentioned by Marzipan in [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], when she comments that his hot chocolate is a "wonderful byproduct of [his] parole".
*Strong Bad's plans to use the "college fund" to buy a "really tricked-out van" is later reused in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], in which it's revealed that he has a "master plan" to "buy a custom conversion van".
*The Fthoom-Bang brand bottle rockets reappear in [[Date Nite]].
*Professor Coolguy supplies Coolguy's Law in [[slumber party]].
*The hat worn by Strong Bad reappears in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*Strong Sad wanted Strong Bad to go back to jail in [[Strong Badia The Free]] when Strong Bad is placed under house arrest.
*The music that plays in the opening credits appears in [[Homestar Ruiner]] at the King of Town's castle.

*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The scene with the Poopsmith is made into a separate, selectable egg instead of a waiting egg.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''MATT:''' Take it away, Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan Sterritt's gonna do this whole commentary by himself!

'''RYAN:''' Ohhh... I am... I like the fireworks that are coming up. Not saying that much, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' You're on your own, man.

'''RYAN:''' I'm on my own here. It's gonna be a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan's visibly nervous, guys.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we won't make him—

'''MIKE:''' We'll bail him out.

'''RYAN:''' Bail me out like I'm in jail.

''{Matt and Mike cheer.}''

'''MATT:''' Apropos! 

'''MIKE:''' This guy's like... Spartus attack.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' So The Cheat is wearing, uh, one of the Henchman sweaters that he borrowed from one of the Joker's Henchmen from the '60s Batman—

'''MIKE:''' Movie this time!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Not from that one episode that everything else is from.

'''MATT:''' That's true! That's true.

'''MIKE:''' It's from the Batman ''movie''.

'''MATT:''' There's some sweet shadow effects coming off from those flashes there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you did those, good job.

'''MATT:''' I'll tell the same story that I did on our first run of this commentary where there was this guy that parked next to the parking place that I rode to school in the car of in...?

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckling}''

'''MATT:''' ...to high school...?

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Robert Frost!

'''MATT:''' Uhh, anyways, and he had that very same car alarm that went through the different alarms and every day when we would leave school and kick his tires and set it off.

'''RYAN:''' As you should.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What's a 16-year-old need with a car alarm living in Dunwoody, Georgia? That's what I want to know.

'''RYAN:''' What does a car alarm really get you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, in these days you just ignore them.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' If movies tell me anything, it means nothing. You just drive off with the alarm going on and lay low for a while...across the border. ''{Commenting on "Prisoner #5408}'' That's the street number of a friend of ours. A ''former'' street number of a friend of ours.

'''MIKE:''' A former ''friend'' of ours.

'''MATT:''' No, no!

'''MIKE:''' That guy... I don't even know who it is.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Umm... ''{Strong Sad is talking about Tai Chi}'' What's he playing there?

'''MIKE:''' Uh—

'''MATT:''' I can't even—I can't even tell.

'''MIKE:''' The disk in the diskette.

'''MATT:''' It might have been Shogun.

''{Unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' ...So you were, in the first run of the commentary, you also said there was an alternate take where it's not only his Tai Chi space but his Chai tea space.

'''RYAN:''' I remember that.

'''MATT:''' That's right. It was Quote of the Day recently.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. That's a funny joke, Tai Chi and Chai tea.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{Strong Mad lifts up the jail and The Cheat fixes his fur.}'' Lookit—did you see The Cheat grin, really Mike-animatidly fixes his hair in the background...

'''MIKE:''' That's—That's just mean. That's just mean-spirited.

'''MATT:''' I'm just kidding. ''I'' might have even animated this whole part, I dunno.

'''RYAN:''' I think ''I'' did, actually.

''{Matt and Mike laugh.}''

'''MATT:''' Jack Hamma! We should make a... Sledge-Hammer-type '70s TV show called Jack Hamma. What do you think of the "Yeah, no" phenomenon, Ryan, where if I'm asking you something and I say, "Hey Ryan, did you see the new stuff about apple.com?" And you say, "Yeah, no!" "Uhh, they did ''this''."

'''RYAN:''' It's also like the "I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'" phenomenon.

'''MATT:''' Right, exactly.

'''RYAN:''' I'm not sayin', but... I'm just sayin'.

'''MATT:''' You're clearly sayin'.

'''RYAN:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are running with the King of Town's crown.}'' Look at The Cheat moving there, he's just kind of gliding along!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Slithering.

'''MIKE:''' Slytherin?

'''MATT:''' Shut up. ''{laughs}'' Um, so for some reason in this cartoon, Ryan...Homestar, Coach Z, and Bubs, and sort of Pom Pom are some kind of law...governing...agency. And no—And never again really.

'''MIKE:''' ''{Screen transition showing Strong Badia}'' Camera move.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a nice camera move. Thanks.

'''MIKE:''' Mondo.

'''MATT:''' It's Trivia Time! They've taken Trivia Time from off of Marzipan and/or Homestar's kitchen shelf.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we've really established whose kitchen that is.

'''MATT:''' I think people assume it's Marzipan's.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think it's Marzipan's.

'''MATT:''' Dude, I don't want to hint at any cohabitation here, okay?

'''MIKE:''' ''{awkward pause}'' Me neither.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Okay! I'm with you! Um, so the tricked-out van, um, you see in that Strong Bad is a Bad Guy... Mario Paint cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''MATT:''' He wants to get a custom conversion van. It's a recurring dream of his.

'''MIKE:''' What do you think the King of Town's coming back from?

'''MATT:''' Feeding?

'''MIKE:''' You think he's just coming back from—?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, from the station.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, he went directly home? You don't think he stopped anywhere in between?

'''MATT:''' Naw.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quietly}'' Dun-dun-duh.

'''MATT:''' Hey let's all do it, all three of us. Ready?

'''ALL:''' Dun-dun-duhh!

'''MIKE:''' It sounds a little better with Ryan, doesn't it?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' The trio.

'''MATT:''' Do the—Yeah, you do the high part, Ryan, this time.

'''RYAN:''' Uh oh.

'''MATT:''' Ready?

'''RYAN & MATT:''' Dun-dun—!

'''MATT:''' Duhhh!

'''RYAN:''' ''{high singing}'' Duhhh? ''{lower}'' Duhh.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles}'' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' We're good, we're good.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Is that a real flashlight sound?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it is, it's from my Maglite.

'''RYAN:''' Ooh. Is that one where you push in—?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a little plungery-looking guy.

'''RYAN:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MATT:''' My six-cell Maglite. That I got for my twenty-fourth birthday.

'''RYAN:''' Was there ever a Biscuitdoughhandsman shirt?

'''MIKE:''' Nah, I wish there was.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Let's do that. The Biscuit Dough Man on one side and Montenegro on the other side.

''{Mike and Ryan laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' "Oh yes?"

'''MATT:''' Top-seller.

'''MIKE:''' We would sell... one—

'''MATT:''' The three of us.

'''MIKE:''' —to me! Oh, the three—All three of us would buy it.

'''MATT:''' Look, they stole that video tape—that video ''camera'', rather, from Kevin. The same Kevin that called Marzipan, you think?

'''MIKE:''' I think so!

'''MATT:''' That ski mask gives Strong Bad magical reverb!

''{All laugh}''

'''MATT:''' —when he puts it on.

'''MIKE:''' But—No, it's not the ski mask because he's still got it on!

'''MATT:''' He turned it off! He turned it off.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, oh.

'''MATT:''' Variable speed.

''{Matt and Mike chuckle.}''

'''MATT:''' Um, they stole Senor Cardgage's Aldi bag. So that's further—further, uh, evidence that maybe Senor really exists.

'''MIKE:''' —he does exist?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, if his Aldi bag full of candy bars is floating around out there. ''{pause}'' Uh, our niece used to do Homestar's impression of Strong Sad here a lot, and she would jump down on her knees here at the end, and I was always afraid she was gonna, like, break her knees or bruise her legs up real bad. ''{Homestar goes "Pwing!" and lands on his knees}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles a little}'' She would jump—!

'''MATT:''' She would do that really violently and we were like, "What are you doing??", and finally she would tell us that she was doing her Homestar impression.

'''MIKE:''' —of... Strong Sad.

'''MATT:''' ''{mocking Marzipan's "Baka-mah-lava" in a high voice}'' Mah-nah deh-teh-teh?? ''{Cartoon ends, more or less}'' So, we've got a bit more time here, guys.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, we do?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan?

'''MATT:''' Tor Coolguy.

'''RYAN:''' Tor Coolguy.

'''MIKE:''' ''{softly}'' ohhh...

''{Pause. The gang mumbles at once, not knowing what to say.}''

'''MATT:''' This is the last commentary we're doing on the DVD, guys!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, good job guys!

'''RYAN:''' We did a great job.

'''MIKE:''' We all stepped up.

'''RYAN:''' Round of applause?

''{They clap.}''

'''MIKE:''' Wooo!

'''RYAN:''' We gave our A-game.

'''MIKE:''' We gave our A-game to them.

'''RYAN:''' Hundred and ten... percent.

'''MATT:''' Yeah... what else? The Cheat's all messed up again, already. ''{laughter}'' You put him in that box and his hair—

'''MIKE:''' He's been in there for seven days!

{{hrenav|7|2000|3184}}

[[Image:EthicalAdvancementOfMelonade.png|thumb|"I am contractually unable to drink, talk about, or bathe in any other liquid!"]]

In a retro styled Hremail, Homestar shares the goodness of melonade, then explains to Strong Bad what the internet is all about.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|The Cheat}}, {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' [[Hremail Room]], [[Computer Room]] (Easter egg)

'''Date:''' Monday, May 4, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 3:51

'''Page title:''' Randy 400!!!

==Transcript==

''{Theme music begins to play as the words "homestarrunner.com presents HREMAIL #7" gradually grow larger on the screen. "copyright 2001" appears in the bottom right corner. Cuts to Homestar Runner in his [[Homestar Runner Evolution|fifth design]] doing a dance in time to the music's hi-hat beats, which soon ends.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hello everybody everybody! I'm Homestar Runner.

''{Scene changes to show Homestar Runner sitting behind a wooden desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Today's question goes like-a this-a...

''{Drumroll sounds, Homestar taps his shoes in anticipation.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Reading aloud.}'' Greetings Homestar Runner!

''{Zooms in on a piece of paper containing the email.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#FFF;color:#000">
Greetings Homestar Runner! 
Can you talk about some of your favorite drinks? 
~Johnny V. 
DeKalb, IL
</blockquote>

''{Reads "Johnny V." as "Johnny Vest in the Chest"}''

''{Scene changes back to the desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I can talk about my fave-o drinks!

''{Cuts to an angle shot of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And as a national spokesmodel for the ''{logo appears in the corner of the screen}'' Ethical Advancement of Melonade, I am contractually unable to drink, ''{logo slides off-screen}'' talk about, or bathe in any other liquid!

''{Cuts back to desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Most folk think that melonade comes in but one flavor.

''{Zooms in on Homestar with desk top still visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But thanks to giant leaps in melonade technology, we can now choose from hundreds of flavor-encrusted varieties. Some of my favo flavors include:

''{Zooms in on the melonade can on the desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco Annihilation, ''{replaces the can with one labeled the same in fiesta lettering and a mushroom cloud over a taco}'' Athletic Berry Blast, ''{slides another can next to it}'' Butt 1 Flavor, ''{places a can with a picture of a discarded cigarette butt on it near Taco Annihilation}'' Quadruple Triple, ''{slides it in front of Taco Annihilation and Athletic Berry Blast}'' CostaLatte Froth, ''{places a can with a picture of a teacup on it on the far right}'' and Sizzlin' Bacon Guava Quench. ''{places a can with bacon and guava fruit in front of Quadruple Triple and Costa Latte Froth}''

''{Zooms out to show Homestar again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or why not try the new line of powdered throat closers. ''{holds up a pink packet labeled Melonade Throat Closers}'' Apply directly to the esophagus!

''{Homestar Runner opens the packet and pours the powder into his mouth. He then begins to cough, his eyes growing increasingly smaller until his throat visibly tightens.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gasping}'' Huuuh— that's good stuff!

''{Scene switches to show Strong Bad and The Cheat walking as music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing off-key}'' I have a face, and it ''{unintelligible}'', I'm Strong Bad, he's The Cheat and I'm Strong Bad...

''{Music stops as the two arrive at Homestar's desk where he's sitting unhappily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's going on here, crap for nose?

''{Zooms in on Homestar Runner.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{hoarsely}'' Oh, hi, Strong Bad. ''{gradually improves}'' I'm in the middle of responding to a fan email.

''{Switches to Strong Bad, scratching his head in confusion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A what-mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' An email, ''{zooms out to show everyone}'' like on the Internet!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A what-mail on the Inter-what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, WWW, hyperlinks, AOL keywords, ''{the text "AOL Keyword> Macromedia Flash 5 Animation" appears at the bottom of the screen}'' and all that good stuff!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, your dumbness never ceases to amaze. I don't even know half the jibber you jabber these days!

''{Cuts to show Strong Sad waving his hand in the air.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, Homestar's right. Electronic mail ''{the screen goes black and hypnotic as he continues, his voice becoming increasingly echoed}'' is transmitted from one computer to another, via a web of computers connected to phone line—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screen suddenly goes back to normal}'' Hush down, crap for mouth!

'''STRONG SAD:''' When you dial up, it sounds like this!

''{Strong Sad starts imitating modem [[Wikipedia:handshaking|handshaking]] noises. Scene cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat, then to Homestar Runner, who furrows his brow, then back to Strong Sad as he finishes. He slowly looks up. Then it cuts back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let me get this straight. You guys are saying that my adoring fans could be sending me piles of what-mails right now, and I'm not getting them?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pronounces it slowly}'' Emails.

''{Switches to a closeup of Strong Bad's mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eeeeemails? ''{his mouth begins to wobble as he tries pronouncing the word}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, you need an email address first. I can let you borrow strongbad@homestarrunner.com until you get your own domain.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, crap for ear. But my name at your name dot com sounds like a terrible email address. I'm sure I'll be able to figure out getting my own domain.

''{Zooms in on Strong Bad and The Cheat as they start walking to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat. Let's walk over here a few feet and steal Homestar's computer.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... that's my old one. It barely works. I'd be surprised if you could check more than forty emails on it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, you can't fool me. This thing's top of the line! It's got ''two'' contrast knobs! ''{grabs the [[Tandy 400]] out of the trash can}'' Let's go start answering fan mail in humorous fashion. Nobody's ever done that before!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for taking my garbage out, guys! Come back and do the dishes if you want!

''{The screen shifts quickly over to Strong Sad, where he's still standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Please, leave.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Awwwww... ''{walks off-screen sideways}''

''{Cuts back to a close-up of Homestar as music starts to play.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So there you have it, Johnny! I talked about some of my favo drinks ''{holds up the various Melonade cans}'' just like you asked. I'll tell you about my non-Melonade favorite drinks in March of 2003, when my contract expires ''{holds up some stapled papers labeled 'The "Deal"'}''. Now I have to go make me a sweet-bath.

''{Zooms out as Homestar Runner walks offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' a-Gonna take a bath in some Melonade... oh it kinda stings my skin...

''{The words "The End" slide down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the 'D' at the end to watch Strong Bad's first encounter with the Tandy 400.
*:''{Strong Bad and The Cheat both look at the Tandy 400's blank screen.}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' So, are these green lines the emails from my fans or what?
*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''
*:''{zooms out to show the whole room.}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{waving arms frantically}'' I have to type something?? I thought this was a computer! ''{holding up his right arm}'' How am ''I'' supposed to type with—
*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{cuts him off, making exclamatory The Cheat noises}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah... smart thinking! Now go call Abdi and make him send me some fanmail!
*:''{The Cheat jumps off the stool and walks off.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Many athletes endorse a brand of sports drink, or other product, and are usually seen only with that product, as it is a contractual obligation of them to do so.
===Remarks===
*The Strong Bad Email backstory presented in this hremail is an additive example of [[Wikipedia:retcon|retroactive continuity]].
*Clicking the contrast knobs on the [[Tandy 400]] has no effect.
**They can also be clicked through The Cheat's head in the Easter egg, but still have no effect.
*This short uses a loading screen similar to that of [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Although there were 40 "Tandy Era" emails, only 38 of them showed emails being answered on the Tandy. The emails [[the bird]] and [[weird dream]] were answered using [[Pom Pom]]'s [[Pom Pilot]] and [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]], respectively. Strong Bad replaced Tandy with the [[Compy 386]] in [[invisibility]], the 41st email. However, Strong Bad has actually answered more than 40 emails, counting [[retirement]], and counting multiple emails answered in [[spring cleaning]].
*In the Easter Egg, Strong Bad suggests that Abdi was the first to send emails, ignoring the fact, [[History According to Strong Bad|if Strong Bad is to be believed]], that the first email was from Fabrosi in [[lady...ing]].
*The toon is set in 2001, but all of the characters use designs from before then.
*Strong Sad's and Strong Bad's voices do not match the voices they had in 2001, but rather the voices they had at the time this toon was released.
*The Athletic Berry Blast, Butt 1 Flavor, and Sizzlin' Bacon Guava Quench cans have no mention of being or containing Melonade on them.
*Homestar was mentioned to have [[Mountain Dew]] in [[techno]], before the March 2003 contract expired, although he is not seen with it or drinking it.
**The March 2003 date is likely a reference to [[caper]] (released on March 31, 2003) where Homestar is seen holding a mug full of hot coffee (a drink other than Melonade).
*In [[email thunder]], Homestar having his own email show seemed to be a surprise to Strong Bad, but if he started his own email show after seeing Homestar's in progress as implied here, he shouldn't have been surprised when he found out about [[hremails]] in email thunder.
**But it is equally valid to speculate that Strong Bad may have simply ''forgotten'' that Homestar Runner had his own emails. After all, according to Strong Bad, he has a very ''unphotographic, 'doodle' memory'', so it is reasonable to assume he would have forgotten. In fact, he seems to have forgotten by the end of this toon when he sets off with the Tandy to "start answering fan mail in humorous fashion. Nobody's ever done that before!"
*In this email, Homestar has a lip-sync graphic for the [[Wikipedia:Voiceless labiodental fricative|'f' sound]], which his modern counterpart lacks.
*The Tandy appears to be on even though it isn't plugged in.
*This toon conflicts with the continuity in [[candy product]]. During one scene, Strong Bad is adjusting the date of the [[Tandy 400]] on the last day of 1999. But according to Hremail #7, Strong Bad acquired the Tandy in 2001.
**However, it should be pointed out that this scene forms part of a commercial for Strong Bad's [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], which wasn't invented until 2006. Furthermore, Strong Bad is seen holding the candy bar, implying that although this scene is set in 1999, it was actually recreated in the year 2006.
**Strong Bad was also seen with the Tandy in the email [[no loafing]], in the year [[1987]].
*Strong Bad had trouble saying the word "email" in Hremail #7 and seemed ignorant of the Internet. But in [[looking old]], Strong Bad talked about "eStrong Vague Online Investments" that was sold in the late 1990s.
*Homestar Runner was unable to recognize a computer in [[50 emails]], despite Hremail 7 implying he understood technology in 2001.


===Goofs===
*When Homestar says, "Some of my favo flavors include:" The beginning of the sound clip is slightly cut off.
*The wrong [[font]] was used for the word "contrast" on the Tandy; it should be Tw Cen MT, but Arial was used instead.
*At the end, there is a small red mark beneath the 'D' in 'End'.

==Transcript==
=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, yeah. Leave a message.

=== Message 5 ===
'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' You Got a Call from the Thnikkaman!! ''{These words float across the screen.} ''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Hey, Marzipan. It's the Thnikkaman! Your Marzipan machine's been Thnikkafied! I was just calling up to see if you wanted to join my Thnikkaband. I got instruments, drums, cymbals, drums. Now all I need is some Thnikkagirls to dance around in some go-go boots. All you gotta do is shimmy-shake a little bit to the left, and, if time permits, shimmy-shake a little bit to the right. Oh, and in regards to your question, "can you have some?", yeah, shut up, kid!

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Here hang-ups the Thnikkaman!! ''{These words float across the screen.}''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Errrrrrrrooom... click!

=== Message 4 ===

'''STRONG BAD:''' Marzipan, look: this is Goatface. I have a goat for a face. Like, not that I have a goat's head for a face, or that my head is a goat's head — like, my face is an ''entire goat''. So, anyways, I was calling you ups 'cause I wanted to join your Goatface Club! Since you've got quite a goat face yourself, I figured you'd be the go-to guy, or gal. It's hard to tell with that goat face of yours. Anyways, my number is ''{imitates a goat}'' eeeeeh-uhhh! So gimme a call back! We can compare goat faces, though I can't imagine... that yours... your- is- pret-... you're ugly... Marzipan. This is Strong Bad, and you're ugly.

=== Message 3 ===

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, Marzipan, this is not Marzipan, just calling to leave you a mean prank call so that you don't get your feelings hurt when other people prank call you. Um, here's the prank: we all know that that hair color is not your true color.

=== Message 2 ===

''{Every time Strong Bad repeats a phrase, he imitates a different voice in an attempt to make it sound like a crowd.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan! Marzipan! Marzipan! Marzipan! Marzipan! This is all your friends! All your friends! All your friends! All of your friends! Calling you! Calling you! We're calling! We're all calling you! Calling you! To tell you we hate you! Tell you we hate you! Tell you we hate you! Tell you we hate you! And you owe us some money! You owe us some money! Yeah, you owe me ten bucks! Yeah, you owe me twelve dollars! You owe me twelve dollars! You owe us some money! ''{falsetto}'' And you said you'd bake us a cake! ''{low voice}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{falsetto}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{low voice}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{falsetto}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{hand claps begin in time to Strong Bad's repetition}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{a drum beat with a bass pattern begins}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{cymbal crash}''

=== Message 1 ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angry}'' Oh, hello, Marzipan! You've got the H-star, you got the H-star-R, and boy, have I got a bee in my bonnet! So, what, I gotta hear from Strong Bad now that you have an "in" at the Goatface Club? Were you even going to mention it to old Boyfriend Dan? ''{normal}'' That's — that's me. Boyfriend Dan. ''{angry}'' You know good and well that I've dreamt of being in a Goatface Club ever since I was a moderately-sized baby. And you said you'd bake us a cake! And who is this Boyfriend Dan I keep hearing about?! Well, you tell him to watch his back, 'cause the old Goatface Killa is on the loose! ''{normal}'' Now, that's me. Now I'm the Goatface Killa.

== Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Goatface3.PNG|thumb|"Like, my face is an ''entire goat''."]]
*Click on the tape holder during Strong Bad's ranting to see what a "Goatface" really isn't.
**First it's a human body with a goat face, drawn on a piece of lined paper.
**Click on the paper to cross it out with the message: "no!"
**Click it again to see another example of what a goatface isn't: a person with goat's head, neck and front legs sticking out of his head.
**Click on it to cross it out with the message: "nope!"
**Click a fifth time to see a [[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|true goatface]]: a person with an entire [[goat]] for a face, with the neck connected to the middle of the goat's body.
**Click the goatface again to see its majesty, with the message: "genius!"
*Click the tape holder at the end of Homestar's message to see a [[milk carton]] with the following info on it:
<blockquote style="border:none; padding: 5px; background-color: #CD0101; color: #FFFFFF; width: 135px; text-align:center; margin-left:30px; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic">
BOYFRIEND DAN BEWARE!!

"GOATFACE KILLA" IS ON THE LOOSE!
LAST SEEN AS A MODERATELY SIZED BABY
</blockquote>

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*When this answering machine was released, it had the old HTML links at the bottom of the page instead of the new Flash file. This has since been corrected.
*Strong Bad's second prank call ends in song. [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2|Earlier]], he was dumbfounded when Homestar made the same decision.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's message contains yet another reference to [[Dan]].
*The Thnikkaman was first introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[monument]].
*The milk carton with the silhouette ad was last seen in [[kind of cool]], when Strong Bad was looking for Senor Cardgage.
*The Thnikkaman speaking of shaking to the left and right might be a reference to what Coach Z said in [[2 emails]].
*The Thnikkaman speaking of "shimmy-shaking" is a reference to [[The Homestar Runner]]'s dance instructions from [[20X6 vs. 1936]].
*"Goatface" is a [[Names ending in -face|name ending in -face]].
*Marzipan claims to be [[Not X|Not Marzipan]].
* Strong Bad's "You said you'd bake us a cake" becomes a [[musical moment]].

===Real-World References===

*Homestar's mention of a "Goatface Killa" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ghostface Killah|Ghostface Killah]], a member of Coach Z's favorite rap group, the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]].
**This could also be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Ghostface (Scream)|Ghostface Killer]] from the ''[[Wikipedia:Scream (film series)|Scream]]'' series of films.

Someone asks what Strong Bad does on The Cheat's birthday: 'The Cheatday', while Coach Z and Bubs try to form a band.

{{Comp|Compy 386}}

'''Date:''' Monday, July 5, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 2:33

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

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Let's check a Strong Bad Email, you and me. Together. Like we used to. Like a family.

<blockquote class="short email">Dear Strong Bad, 
what did you do for the Cheat's 
birthday party</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{regarding the lack of signature}'' Aw, man! Another one of those "no-name brand" emails. Ah, let's see. Who are you from? You're from... ''{typing signature}'' Mike ''{pause}'' Control. ''{rapping but not typing}'' Here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control. Chiggity here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control. Miggity here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.

''{Cut to behind Strong Bad at his computer, with Coach Z standing on the right side of the screen}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, that's a good rhyme! We should cut a demo!

'''BUBS:''' ''{enters}'' I could be your manager. I'll make millions!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'll do no such thing! I don't need you fools. Now get outta here and let me answer Mike Controller's question.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{leaving}'' Yeah, we'll be better off without 'im.

'''BUBS:''' ''{leaving}'' I can play keytar!

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyways, where were we? Oh yeah, Cheatday. ''{begins typing his response}'' So, nobody knows exactly when The Cheat's Cheatday is, so we celebrate it on the only day we know for sure it isn't. And that's the date of birth on his fake I.D.

''{A fake identification card appears, titled "SCANDINAVIAN FAKE I.D.," giving a name of Ilko Skevüld, date of birth of 4/18/1961, height of 6-9, weight of 293, and a type of "Miner." A profile view of a man whose hair vaguely resembles The Cheat with a swirly chin, an underbite and The Cheat-type eyes is featured. The card is signed with Ilko's name.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing}'' Which says he's a 43-year-old Scandinavian miner named Ilko Skevüld. The festivities usually begin when—

''{Cut to Strong Bad sleeping on couch}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —The Cheat wakes me up around the crack of noon, and I'll sing him the Date of Birth song.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pokes Strong Bad and making The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Super...Super Contra...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pokes Strong Bad again and makes the same The Cheat noises}''

''{Strong Bad grunts and sits up. A bag of Potate chips sits atop his head. The Cheat grins and bats his eyes several times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right, right. ''{clears throat, sings}'' Sweet, sweet The Cheat, today is the day on your fake I.D.

''{The Potate chips bag falls off Strong Bad's head and lands out of sight. Bubs appears from behind the couch, playing a keytar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, get upstairs—unh! And fix me some breakfast.

''(Bubs breaks off into a solo. Strong Bad and The Cheat lean in angrily.)''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, that's a good jam! We should cut a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get outta here, kid!

''{Bubs hides behind the couch. Strong Bad affectionately pats The Cheat on the head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' After breakfast, in honor of Ilko's heritage, we'll usually play some mining games...

''{Cut to a scene in a field. Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat, all with helmets equipped with flashlights, stand around a pile of charcoal briquettes. Strong Bad holds a shovel, and The Cheat a pickaxe.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing voiceover}'' ...like... Mining... and... Coal?

''{The Cheat half-heartedly plunks his pickaxe into the ground.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I WIN!

''{We return to Strong Bad typing his response.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then as a special treat, I let The Cheat answer some emails.

''{Strong Bad gets up, and The Cheat takes his place. He brings up an email.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">i want to know whos beter you or 
the cheat or strong mad? 
 
your friend 
ryan az</blockquote>

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off. - Teh C. ''{brings up new email, reads}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">hey, sb! 
what's up? i was just wondering 
what you're mom and dad look like. 
 
please answer, 
bridget thornton, co</blockquote>

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off. - Teh C. ''{brings up new email, reads}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">make more trogdor pleasepleaseplease 
 
p.s. pay out strong sad</blockquote>

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off. - Teh C.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apparently recovering from laughing}'' O-ho, man! "I'll gnaw your face off"!

''{The Cheat grins}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every year it gets funnier! Ohhh! ''{regains composure.}'' Happy The Cheat day, Ilko! May you never get the black lung.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on the nameless email to bring up a box of No-Name Brand Emails.
*At the end, click on The Cheat to bring up Ilko's head moving from left to right, with his mouth opening and shutting, along with the rhythm of a train bell sound.
*Also at the end, click on the floppy disks on the left to bring up a demo tape:
*:Coach Z & Bubs's Demo Tape
*:"the two-o duo"
*:''{singing}''
*:'''COACH Z:''' Well we're good friends.
*:'''BUBS:''' But don't you steal my napkins.
*:'''COACH Z:''' I got fresh jams.
*:'''BUBS:''' But I get all the royalties.
*:'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking}'' I never agreed to that.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The name "Mike Control" is a form of "Mic Control", or "Microphone Control". The term is backcronym for MC, which was formally [[Wikipedia:Master of Ceremonies|Master of Ceremonies]]. "Microphone Controle" came to be first used in rap music during the 1970s and 1980s. Strong Bad's incantation is rhythmically similar to a section of the [[Wikipedia:Beastie Boys|Beastie Boys']] song "Jimmy James" from their ''Check Your Head'' album.
*[[Wikipedia:Pneumoconiosis#Black lung disease|Black lung disease]] is a lung condition caused by the inhalation of coal dust. It is also similar to the result of long-term smoking.
**It was revealed in [[Where's The Cheat?]] that The Cheat is a smoker.
*The [[Wikipedia:Keytar|Keytar]] ('''Key'''board + Gui'''tar''') is the name given to the musical keyboard synthesizer that is fashioned into the shape of a guitar. It is also known as a Gui-Board ('''Gui'''tar+key'''board''').
*[[Internet Slang|''Teh'']] is a common misspelling of ''the'', a mistake often made by typing too quickly. The mistake is common enough that most word processors have an automatic fix to spot instances of teh. The Compy 386 obviously doesn't have one of those. However, the misspelling itself is a staple of [[Wikipedia:Leetspeak|Leetspeak]].

=== Trivia ===
*Two of the three emails that The Cheat answers would later be in [[The Brothers Chaps]]' top five [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|commonly sent emails that will not be answered]] ([[Parents]] and [[Draw Trogdor Again]]).
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#bushido|bushido]]".

===Remarks===
*The [[Strong Bad Main Page]] refers to The Cheat's Cheatday party as his "birthday party."
*There actually ''is'' a chance, albeit a very small one, that The Cheat's birthday was on April 18, 1961.
*Strong Bad said nobody knows when The Cheat's Cheatday is, though almost every character witnessed the event in [[flashback]]. (This is assuming that The Cheat was "born" from the egg. Technically, we don't know ''how'' he got inside it.)
**It could also be that Strong Bad made up the events of flashback, as suggested in those email's remarks.
*It's possible that Ilko being a "miner" is a play on the purpose of the fake ID (an attempt to persuade people that The Cheat ''isn't'' a [[wikipedia:Minor (law)|minor]]).
*You can still click on the Ilko Easter egg after you've clicked on the floppy disk Easter egg.
*The ID card says Ilko's birthday is April 18, yet this email was released on July 5 and The Cheat answering emails is not presented as a flashback.
*Even though the [[Potate]] bag appears to be sitting on top of Strong Bad's head (it doesn't seem to be attached or stuck in any way), it manages to not fall off, even though Strong Bad is moving his head a lot while singing.

=== Goofs ===
*Strong Bad types "scandnavian" as opposed to "scandinavian" as the fake ID appears in the screen. It can be seen only for a split second on the Compy's screen before Strong Bad clears it.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Potate]]" bag is from [[morning routine]].
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[couch mumbling]].
*The custom of The Cheat answering emails is truly a special one indeed, since it is said that he never answers them in [[huttah!]].
*This is the first appearance of [[Bubs's Keytar]].
*This email contains a [[musical moment]]

===Real-World References===
*The game [[Strong Bad]] says in his sleep is [[Wikipedia:Super Contra|''Super Contra'']], a notoriously difficult sidescrolling shooter arcade game. It was released on the [[Nintendo|NES]] under the title ''Super C''.
*The ringing Ilko head may be a reference to Mr. Machine, a popular toy made by Ideal Toy Corp. in 1960. Mr. Machine was a wind up 'man' who would walk, open, and close his mouth while a bell rung in his stomach.
*The Ilko head may also be a reference to an Easter egg in the Nintendo 64 game Cruisin' USA. A player had to achieve a "Hot Time" on any stage. After entering their initials, the player would scroll down to the bottom of the screen, then hold Left on the analog stick for about 35 seconds. A head of similar characteristics would roll across the conveyer belt. The ringing noise heard in this toon is the same as the ringing noise made by the rollers on the conveyor belt.

===Fast Forward===
*''Cheatday'' as opposed to ''birthday'' is a practice later used with [[Trogdor]]'s [[Happy Trogday|Trogday]]. Strong Bad also mentions "Flashday" in [[Flash's 10th Birthday]].
*In [[narrator]], Bubs and Coach Z again argue about a napkin.
*A keytar is later seen in [[coloring]].
*Strong Bad wears a mining helmet again in [[Ever and More!]].
*The Two-o Duo later show up for a "once-in-a-lifetime reunion performance" in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
*Strong Bad apparently shows a picture of his parents in [[the chair]], although the picture is never actually seen.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MIKE:''' Hey, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It's just the two of us doing the commentary on this email here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' Matt's on the phone.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think he's in the bathroom.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhh. So, uh, what the— have you seen this email?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, I try not to watch the emails.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I get upset by them.

'''MIKE:''' Why?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Because...I don't know. I just— they make me sad.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Sometimes.

'''MIKE:''' Sometimes.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's this one about, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' It's about The Cheat's birthday.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Really? What day is his birthday?

'''MIKE:''' Well, you'll find out if you watch. Here, he tells you right here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Do they have a party?

'''MIKE:''' Listen. Nobody knows when it is.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I once had a boyfriend who had a hairdo like that.

'''MIKE:''' Really? Was his name Ilko?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was.

'''MIKE:''' Wow. You dated Ilko Skevüld?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I did. But don't tell anybody that's how we got the I.D.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhhhh. Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Interesting. You helped The Cheat get a fake I.D.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cool.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Sweet, sweet, The Cheat. ''{stops singing}'' I actually wrote that song.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah. ''{sings}'' Breakfast.

'''MIKE:''' Good job ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks!

'''MIKE:''' Whatchu been up to today?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I've been out, um, riding. Riding my mule.

'''MIKE:''' You have a mule?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I do. I believe in mule riding. I think that they are very underappreciated. I like their ears a lot.

'''MIKE:''' Really? What's your mule's name?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Buttercup.

'''MIKE:''' "Buttercup The Mule", eh?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' Wow. I didn't realize mules were good for riding. You do any tricks on it or anything?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I can do, um, a "standing on the back" trick.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's pretty hard. I have to do it on one leg.

'''MIKE:''' You have a leg?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I have one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Look at The Cheat's gold tooth.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Where did he get that?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know. Maybe you should email Strong Bad and ask him someday.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Maybe.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, I ''hate'' getting these mass emails! ''{typing}'' REMOVE ME! UNSUBSCRIBE! TAKE ME OFFA LIST! ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Well HUGE to the DORK, your timing couldn't be more perfect, as I just received my new electric boots in the mail today. Check out these features.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No fewer than 8 lights flashing at any given time. Whisper quiet, and, uh, check out that guy dancing with that hot girl.

''{Strong Bad sets the box on his desk. We pull back and see that Strong Bad is wearing the electric boots, with The Cheat under the desk near the empty socket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat, let's do this.

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

''{The Cheat plugs in the boots, causing the lights on the boots to come on and a loud, vacuum-cleaner-like humming to start. The Cheat puts his hands over his ears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting over the noise}'' WHOA! CHECK OUT THOSE LIGHTS. THEY'RE FLASHING!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning The Cheat noises, shouting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' I SAID, CHECK OUT THE FLASHING LIGHTS!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning The Cheat noises, shouting}''

''{The Cheat leaves the room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WAIT UP!

''{Strong Bad gets up and walks to follow The Cheat, until he reaches the end of his cord.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' I'M GONNA NEED AN EXTENSION CORD!

''{Strong Bad sits back in front of the Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, shouting}'' Attention all interested ladies: Please have electrical sockets installed every 5 feet before inviting me over to your apartment or dormroom. So, I guess I'm awex— ''{The power goes out.}'' SOME IS THE REASON WHY!! ''{typing, despite power outage}'' Whoa. I guess these boots suck up a lot of energy. Maybe that's what "solid state" means. I suppose I can stop typing now. ''{stops typing}'' I'm gonna need some help finishing this email without power.

''{Cut to the darkened basement. Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat appear to be watching TV, and are laughing. Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you guys watching?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Shhh!

''{Cut to the TV screen, where a picture of Andy Griffith's head is taped on. Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat start laughing again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You guys are watching a picture of Andy Griffith's head taped to a TV?

''{Cut back to the view of the couch. Homestar walks in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, has it started yet? I brought some popcorn! ''{He produces a popcorn bag containing a bottle of [[Mountain Dew]].}'' Dang, Strong Bad, I like your boots.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I'm going to need some help finishing up this email. Will somebody give me a hand?

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHEN THIS IS OVER!!!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386. We can hear that the boots are running again. Strong Sad is holding up a piece of black paper in front of the monitor, which he lowers to reveal Strong Bad's "typed" text as Strong Bad is typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, shouting}'' Well, whatever your name was, the boots are back in action, and so am I. I can already tell they're gonna be a hit when I wear them to da club ''{pronounced as before}'' this weekend. The ladies can't resist flashing lights and an obnoxiously loud hum! ''{stops typing}'' All right, Strong Mad! Go!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down with Strong Mad producing the sound effect. Cut back from Strong Bad's desk to see Strong Mad holding The Cheat upside-down over the Compy 386, with The Cheat holding the paper in his hands. The extra plug has been burnt. Strong Sad is holding the black piece of paper he used to obscure Strong Bad's text, and Homestar is wrapped in an extension cord leading from Strong Bad's boots elsewhere. A few seconds later, Strong Bad starts speaking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Way to go, guys! I doubt ''anyone'' could tell the difference between a regular email and this unplugged email. Now keep holdin' it. Nobody move! Gonna be a long week!

''{A few more seconds later, Homestar starts talking.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rhythmically}'' I really got. I really gotta pee. I really got. I really gotta pee pee. I really got. I really gotta pee.

''{Strong Sad joins Homestar.}''

'''STRONG SAD AND HOMESTAR:''' ''{rhythmically}'' I really got. I really gotta pee pee. I really got. I really gotta pee. I really got. I really gotta pee pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is a disgusting song.

:''{Cut to The King of Town's castle. An extension cord can be seen running from a sparking plugin out a window and into the distance. A sign has been placed near the plugin reading "auxilliary food-related thing. DO NOT UNPLUG!" The King of Town is standing nearby holding a piece of paper.}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This electricity bill is ''pretendous''!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#death track|death track]]".

===Remarks===
*[[Wikipedia:Solid state (electronics)|Solid state]] refers to transistor electronics, vs. old vacuum tube or mechanical technology. In the '50s through the mid-'80s (the boots appearing to have come from the '70s), manufacturers would stamp "solid state" on their various devices, signifying that they were "state-of-the-art", tube-less electronics. These so-called "Solid State" boots apparently use a large and noisy vacuum cleaner motor, which runs contrary to the concept of solid state technology.
*In the Technochocolate Easter egg, The Cheat appears to be plugging his ears with the glowsticks, which can give us a rough estimated location of his ears beneath all that fur.
*Even though only one of Strong Bad's boots is plugged in, both boots work.
*During the unplugged email, there are burn marks around the free socket under his desk... It seems that when the boots "fused," the plug actually melted and/or caught on fire.
*Although there are burn marks around the extra plug under Strong Bad's desk after he blows the power, there are no marks around the plug at Technochocolate when he blows the power there.
*At the end, when the gang are maintaining the "unplugged email", Strong Bad remarks that it is going to be a long week. It turned out to be four weeks until the next email, [[montage]].
*Viewing the Flash file shows Homestar sitting down fully on the floor, but he does not seem to have a bottom, as his legs bend up into his shirt.
**This was also seen in [[flashback]] and [[79 Seconds Left]].
*The King of Town's bill has the title 'Lectric bill, spelled just like Strong Bad's 'Lectric Boots.
*Strong Bad's humming sounds a bit like the opening theme to John Carpenter's [[Wikipedia:Assault on Precinct 13 (1976 film)|''Assault on Precinct 13'']].
*When Strong Bad glances at the plug before he says he needs an extension cord, the eye closer to us is smaller than the eye farther away from us, similar to [[:Image:Strongbadweirdeyes.PNG|this screenshot]].
*The back button is clickable even before it zooms out, even though there is not enough time to see and click it unless you were planning on it.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's boots stop making noises in the end even though the lights are flashing.
*In the Club Technochocolate scene, the Cheat's glowsticks do not actually glow - when the power goes out, they are lit the same as the surrounding area. They do seem to have a "glowing effect" around them even so.
*If you view an Easter egg and wait, Strong Bad will repeat his "long week" statement and Homestar and Strong Sad will sing the song again.
*The power cord is initially on the right boot when The Cheat first plugs it in. Then, when the boots are plugged into the extension cord the cord is on the left boot. Finally, in the Easter egg at Club Technochocolate, the cord is back on the right boot.
*In the Easter egg in the King of Town's castle hall, Strong Bad has misspelled "auxiliary" as "auxilliary" on his sign.

===Glitches===
*The contrast knob on the Compy stops working when Strong Bad addresses "all interested ladies" even though the power is still on.
*The contrast knob on the Compy is still clickable when Strong Bad holds up the box for the 'Lectric Boots.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad started to spell the word "awexome" before the power went out, a reference to the email [[monster truck]] and [[Awexome Cross]].
*"Dang, Strong Bad, I like your boots!" is a reference to the cartoon [[New Boots]].
*The King of Town's statement about his electric bill being "[[Glossary#P|pretendous]]" is a reference to the [[Fan Costume Commentary|Strong Bad Fan Costume Commentary]].
*The "[[All Is On]]" song in [[Club Technochocolate]] is from an Easter egg in [[for kids]].
*Club Technochocolate is a reference to the email [[monument]].
*The [[sound effect]] of Strong Bad's boots when he is walking is identical to that of [[Stinkoman]]'s boots in [[Under Construction]].
**The sound effect is much like metal making contact with metal even though Strong Bad is walking on carpet (and later, in [[Club Technochocolate]], plexiglass)
*The TV that had [[Wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]]'s head taped to it was the [[Telebision]] from the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu]].
*The Cheat's [[Glow Sticks]] are references to the emails [[techno]] and [[monument]].
* This email contains a [[Musical Moment]].

===Real-World References===
*The way Strong Bad pronounces 'da club' throughout the email is a reference to [[Wikipedia:50 Cent|50 Cent's]] hit single 'In Da Club', where he rounds off the 'u' in the word 'club' the same way.
*[[Wikipedia:Fruit Pie the Magician|"Fruit Pie the Magician"]] is a reference to the mascot for [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]] brand fruit pies.

'''JONATHAN:''' Hey, it's Jonathan, Ryan, and Mike!

'''MIKE:''' It's true.

'''RYAN:''' It is true.

'''MIKE:''' Identify yourself, Ryan.

'''RYAN:''' I'm Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan, um, does our video editing and made, he made this DVD that you're watching. And Jonathan made that game that you were probably playing on our website earlier.

'''JONATHAN:''' Directly before watching this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. And directly after. Um...

'''JONATHAN:''' SimCity.

'''MIKE:''' And so...

'''JONATHAN:''' Yeah, I made SimCity myself.

''{Everyone laughs}''

'''JONATHAN:''' With these guys. I'm from Massachusetts. Yeah, Mass!

'''MIKE:''' Where are you from, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uhhhhh... Little Virginia, little Florida.

'''MIKE:''' Little Columbus, Georgia. Right?

'''RYAN:''' Little, Columbus, Georgia. That's uh, interesting place.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''RYAN:''' I like your boots.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we had some...

''{Jonathan laughs}''

'''JONATHAN:''' What is Ol' Fatty's?

'''MIKE:''' What?

'''JONATHAN:''' Ol' Fatty's!

'''RYAN:''' Hey is that from giracer?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know where that's from.

'''RYAN:''' Ol' Fatty's? And they're purring there.

'''MIKE:''' They're whisper quiet.

'''RYAN:''' I like it when you draw people like that. On your kids' books and your magazines.

'''MIKE:''' Matt drew those. Those are definitely Matt's style.

'''RYAN:''' This is about to get real loud.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we should talk loud now, guys.

''{Everybody raises their voices}''

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''JONATHAN:''' Can you hear me? What's the game of the day?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhhhhhhh...

'''RYAN:''' Death Track.

'''JONATHAN:''' Death Track.

'''MIKE:''' Death Track was a great game. It was a racing game where you had to shoot, uh, a futuristic racing game where you had to shoot other cars. Activision. Activision or Dynamix, I'm not sure which.

'''JONATHAN:''' It's weird that Activision and Electronic Arts are still around. They're like the kings!

'''MIKE:''' Activision is older than Electronic is older than Electronic, well I guess that Electronic Arts is pretty old. But Activision made Atari games in 1982.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Good for them. People got confused why he started yelling when it got dark.

'''RYAN:''' I got, I'm confused Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Well its sort of like, if you're, ummm, pulling a really heavy wagon, and then someone takes all the weight out of the wagon, you're pulling at the same, and you just start running forward.

'''JONATHAN:''' It's like a record stopping too. It just gets loud.

'''RYAN:''' Sorry, I was listening to you, but I turned to see Andy Griffith taped to the TV. And it was a little bit strange.

'''MIKE:''' So, that is from our cousin Jim. One of the many things we've stolen from him. There was this family, he claimed, that uh, that lived near him that didn't have a working TV and just taped a picture of Andy Griffith's head to the TV. Yet another example of Matt and I just stealing bits of our friends' and relatives' everyday lives.

'''JONATHAN:''' What about Lincoln version?

'''MIKE:''' Lincoln version we thought of.

'''RYAN:''' It's a good bit. You gotta, gotta, a lot of good bits.

'''MIKE:''' Do a bit Ryan. Hurry up.

'''RYAN:''' How about them boots, eh? They're flashin, and stuff...

'''MIKE:''' That's a good bit. How long does this thing go on for before the email ends?

'''JONATHAN:''' I think for a while. This is a waiting Easter.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhh, so we, uhh, get to hear, uhhh, the pee song?

'''JONATHAN:''' Oh yes, right. It's going to come up. People liked the pee song.

'''MIKE:''' My mom liked the pee song. I think that she was ashamed, that she really thought it was funny. But she, you know...

'''RYAN:''' That's not something you really want to admit to a friend.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, she was a little embarrassed.

'''RYAN:''' So did you have those boots, growing up?

'''MIKE:''' I still got them! I'm wearing them right now Ryan!

'''JONATHAN:''' Remember moon boots?

'''MIKE:''' Yes, I do remember moon boots.

'''RYAN:''' They had, like, two inches or so of plastic at the bottom. You feel like you're in space.

'''MIKE:''' I agree.

'''JONATHAN:''' I bet there are remixes of that floating around.

'''MIKE''': I want to remix it.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Why don't you and The Cheat pull a 
caper of some sort. It seems like 
there has been little cooperation 
between the two of you as of late. 
 
James 
Detroit Mi</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Mi" like "me"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing:}'' Well, you're right. It's no secret that The Cheat and I haven't been getting along very well... since he screwed up our last caper.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat in Homestar's house at night, stealing his newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't care about the crosswords, man, just the jumbles, the jumbles!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know, go look over there.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{goes over to a table with a cow lamp on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, look out! Oh, great, man.

''{The Cheat knocks over the lamp, breaking it. A light turns on and Homestar comes out. He is wearing pajamas, and it appears he hasn't shaved. Strong Bad looks hastily for an escape and The Cheat puts his hands in the air.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sleepy}'' Hey, Strong Sad, Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' We've been ID'd! Every man for himself! ''{he and The Cheat run away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for stopping by, you guys. Thanks for breaking my cow lamp.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, man. ''{Music begins}'' Where did we go wrong? It seems like just yesterday we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That ''was'' yesterday!

'''STRONG BAD:''' This one's for you. ''{singing to the Compy's music}'' 
I got mad at The Cheat, uh! 
For screwing up the jumble caper, uh! 
I hope I don't see his name in the paper, in the obituaries 
Cause that would mean he's dead. 
''{pulls back to show Strong Mad and Strong Sad standing next to the computer clapping to the beat. Strong Bad is standing on his stool, still singing}'' 
The Cheat is not dead, 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead. 
The Cheat is not dead,

'''STRONG MAD:''' DEAD! 

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhh, I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead. 
The Cheat is not dead,

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dead! 

'''STRONG BAD:''' So glad The Cheat is not— ''{stops singing, starts bobbing his body left and right on each clap}'' Just the claps! Just the claps... Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, sure, I got tons of rhythm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep it rolling for me guys, keep it rolling.

''{Strong Bad runs out to the field where The Cheat is waiting for him. The Compy is still playing the music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I... I just wanted to say that...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I can't stay mad at you!

''{He rubs The Cheat's head}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, how about a little kick for old times' sake?

''{The Cheat places his arms akimbo and looks angry}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, I'm just kidding, man. ''{makes several fake kicking motions; The Cheat prepares to dodge each one}'' Oh, what, watch me now! Had you there.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. About five seconds later, Homestar walks out. He is still in his pajamas.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys are so cute. ''{pause}'' Man, I should probably get dressed or something. What is it, like three in the afternoon? Looking good, Homestar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, what's the deal? I didn't know you had to shave.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I don't. It's cinnamon.

== Easter Eggs ==
*After you see the Jumble Caper happen, you can click on the word "caper" to see their original plan.
<blockquote>"OPERATION JUMBLE JUMBLE" 
Objective: Steal Homestar's Jumbles 
Details: Strike in the wee hours. 
Don't knock over any cow lamps. 
Be cool. 
Say "hi" to any ladies encountered. </blockquote>
[[Image:Jumble.PNG|thumb|This is a difficult one]]
*At the end you can click on The Cheat's eyes to see what became of Strong Bad's rhythm section.
:''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. Strong Sad and Strong Mad are still clapping in time to the music}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Um... do you think we can stop now?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' KEEP IT ROLLIN'!
*Ten seconds after the end, Homestar will come out in his pajamas. Click on [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|his slippers]] after he is done talking to bring up a Jumble word puzzle starring [[Bubs]] and [[Coach Z]]. You can also [[Printables|print out]] the Jumble.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Homestar's comment, "Hey, Strong Sad. [[Batman]]," may be referring to The Cheat's pose when Homestar walks in. With his arms in the air, he resembles the comic book character's mask in silhouette.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homestar is seen wearing his [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|pajamas]].
*The answer to the Jumble is "UN TACO" (which means "a taco" in [[Spanish]]), and the scrambled words spell "This is a difficult one".
*Although [[cinnamon]] appeared first in the [[Homestar Quiz]], this is the first appearance of Homestar's cinnamon beard.
*Homestar's bunny slippers seem to have eyes only on one side, similar to Homestar himself.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#manhunter new york|manhunter new york]]".
*The pictures of Homestar on the wall when Homestar discovers Strong Bad and The Cheat are the other four different Homestars in the "Evolution of Homestar" wallpaper.
**This is also in [[radio]] and [[garage sale]].

===Remarks===
*Homestar's speech impediment lightened up. When he says "What is it, like, three in the afternoon?" his R's are very well enunciated compared to his full waking state.
*When Homestar walks in at the end, he appears in front of The Paper.

===Goofs===
*If you look closely at the Compy's screen while Strong Bad stands on the stool, you can see that the screen doesn't completely fill the monitor, so a very thin section of the wall is visible on the right.
*During the hand clapping part of the song, there is a brief moment where Strong Bad's torso moves out of sync of the claps.
*After you view the Strong Sad/Strong Mad clapping Easter egg, Homestar walks back in and says his line again instead of just reappearing standing there.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was first released, after the cow lamp fell down the shadow of Homestar's table extended over it. [[Matt Chapman]] noticed this during the [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|2007 Georgia Tech talk]] and commented that they should re-upload the email.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad favoring the Jumbles was first mentioned in [[The Interview]].
*Homestar is wearing a shirt that used to be available in the [[Store]].
*This is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*This is a rare instance of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad]].
* [[The Cheat is not Dead]] is a [[Musical Moment]].

===Fast Forward===
*"[[The Cheat is Not Dead]]" would later be featured as a song on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD.
*Strong Bad uses the events in this email as an example of his "unphotographic" memory in [[highschool]].
*It is revealed in [[email thunder]] that Homestar was aware that they would break into his house, and put cinnamon on his face to throw them off, in response to a hremail asking what he does about burglars in his house.
*Strong Bad and the Cheat manage to pull off a successful caper in [[Best Caper Ever]].
**Furthermore, "The Cheat is Not Dead" is picked up in a tune played at the end of that short.
*It is revealed in [[Hremail 7]] that Homestar's contract with Melonade ended the month this email was posted, thus allowing him to drink coffee, as seen in the Easter Egg.

===Real-World References===
*Sleepy Homestar calls The Cheat [[Batman]], a popular DC Comics superhero.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' This is not about—uhm, this email is ''not'' about the little spice thingy...vegetable.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, caper? I never even realized that caper...

'''MATT:''' It's the same—spelled the same way.

'''MIKE:''' It's so weird. Like, words like polish and Polish. I was, like, 25 when I realized "Oh my gosh, these words are spelled the same way." ''{Matt laughs}'' It just never occurs to you. It never occurred to me that caper and... anyway.

'''MATT:''' Okay, so, look, there's all the different Homestars in the background.

'''MIKE:''' Yep. This is a scene we've never seen before.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There's Homestar's ''{Mike says something inaudible in the background}'' That cow lamp, though, is, uh, a lamp—we had a little illustration club and one week the theme was drawing lamps. And that was one of my lamps.

'''MIKE:''' It's a good one.

'''MATT:''' I'd like to ''make'' that lamp.

'''MIKE:''' I'd like to make that little, uh, desk—that little stand that the lamp was on.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There's—Homestar's wearing, uh—number one, those bunny slippers are incredible. ''{Mike laughs a little}'' And terrifying. Are they—are they—they look kind of like their lips, not their ears.

''{Mike laughs more}''

'''MIKE:''' So, here, Strong Bad sings a song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um...the, uhm...

'''MATT:''' It goes pretty well. It goes pretty well with the music he's playing.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm.

'''MATT:''' Uhm, what else, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Well, we could talk about the cinnamon on Homestar's face.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' And how that was a trick of ours when we used to make movies, uh, when we were younger. We never would need to be dirty or have a five o'clock shadow or whatever. We would just get cinnamon and put it on our face.

'''MATT:''' Or potato—O'Boisies—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing a little}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —in some cases. If you wanted to look like you had—

'''MIKE:''' Just crunch up some potato chips—

'''MATT:''' —and wet your face and stick some O'Boisies on your face.

'''MIKE:''' Wow.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah. I love those—look, notice on the shag carpeting there's a couple of spots there just—on the wall where it's just missing. I those were, I think at one point, those behind the legs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Right, between Strong Mad and Strong Sad. Right.

'''MATT:''' And that's why we didn't do it and then we moved it and never bothered to make the little...scrunt, whatever you call those, strands of carpet. "You know, joke kick." Hah, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's from an email.

'''MATT:''' I love the hands on hips The Cheat does, he never has done that and we did that. See? Now just look at him!

'''MIKE:''' He's so sassy.

'''MATT:''' I know. So there you go—

'''MIKE:''' No, Homestar's going to come out.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, Homestar comes out, so we get to keep talking.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, we can keep talking this time.

'''MATT:''' Come on, Homestar, where are—where are you at?

'''MIKE:''' He's got a cup of coffee. I like the cup of coffee.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, look at that steam! It's just little dots.

'''STRONG BAD''': It's the email, the email, what what, the email.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="short email">Hey Strong Bad, do you like techno at
 all? If you do, what kind. 
 
Silent J</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's...very clever. ''{typing}'' Well, its not really my style, but I heard a techno song one time that went like...

''{Strong Bad stops typing and mimics a techno beat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom ''{resumes typing}'' And then this other part came in, and it was like...

''(Strong Bad stops typing again, the original beat is heard along with this new part.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Doodle-um-doom doodle-um-doom doodle-um-doom doodle-um-doom ''{resumes typing}'' And then there's always some kinda high pitched noise, y'know? Or like a siren that's like...

''{Strong Bad stops typing again and another part is added to the song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE ''{resumes typing}'' And of course they have to put in the obligatory old movie quote from some sci-fi movie. It's like...

''{Strong Bad stops typing again, all the parts are there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The system is down! The system is down! The system is down! The system is down!

''{The screen starts going dark and light again. We zoom out to see The Cheat standing beside a lightswitch, turning it on and off with twirling light circles on the wall while twirling a [[The Cheat's Glowsticks|glowstick]], raving to the techno piece. Strong Bad walks up to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat is ''grounded''!

''{Zoom in on the lightswitch. There is a label above it reading "The Cheat's Lightswitch". The back of The Cheat's head is visible at the right of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off ''{cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'', ''not'' so you could throw lightswitch raves! Now let's go break open that glowstick and pour it into Homestar Runner's Mountain Dew. ''{They both start walking off.}'' I heard they have to pump your stomach when you drink that stuff.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*Click on The Cheat's lightswitch at the end to listen to the music some more and see a flyer for a special event featuring that music. It features a rainbow-colored [[Wikipedia:fractal|fractal]] and reads:

<blockquote>The Cheat's 
Lightswitch Rave 
 
featuring: 
DJ The Stick 
and DJ from Full House 
 
Doors Open at 3 am</blockquote>
*At the end, you're given the option to [[Miscellaneous Downloads|download]] the song for either Windows or Mac OS.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Some bozo asks about techno music."

===Remarks===
*When The Cheat is throwing his light switch rave, the spinning of the glow stick, and lights, keep moving, even when paused; this is somewhat like Homestar's blinking eyes, and when The Cheat plays keyboard in the email [[flag day]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad makes a mistake while typing here. He types 'its', which is possessive. He should have typed 'it's', for 'it is' (an error he points out when Dan D. misuses it in [[local news]]).
*When The Cheat is throwing his lightswitch rave, his lightswitch says just "The Cheat" (best viewed in Flash after zooming in). When the camera zooms in on his switch, it says "The Cheat's Lightswitch".

===Inside References===
*There is a reference to [[Mountain Dew]].
*[[The Cheat]] spins around a [[Glow Stick]].
*Strong Bad's voice [[Overlapping Voices|overlaps]] when he creates his techno song.
* This email contains a [[Musical Moment]].

===Real-World References===
*"DJ from Full House" is a reference to the television show "[[IMDB:tt0092359|Full House]]" and the character [[Wikipedia:D.J. Tanner|D.J. Tanner]] played by [[IMDB:nm0121026|Candace Cameron Bure]].
*The techno song Strong Bad describes is reminiscent of the 1997 [[Wikipedia:Daft Punk|Daft Punk]] song "Rollin' and Scratchin'", featuring similar beats, effects and siren-like sound effects. It however lacks the "sci-fi movie quote" which can be heard in other various techno songs.
*"Silent J" is arguably a reference to the characters [[Wikipedia:Jay and Silent Bob|Jay and Silent Bob]] from several [[Wikipedia:Kevin Smith|Kevin Smith]] films.

===Fast Forward===
*This song appears on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD, and replaced ''Renegade Master'' on [[Main Page 4]].
*[[The Cheat]] would later throw a lightswitch rave in [[monument]].
*The same rave lights can be turned on in [[interview]] and [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' I always think, in my brain, that Techno's on the old computer.

'''MIKE:''' No, I know, it's much later. I thought, uh—I think I always get Guitar and Techno mixed up.

'''MATT:''' I think they're like—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' They seem to be similar.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Quite similar. "Its"... that's a  error there, Strong Bad. Punctuation error, should be an apostrophe in that "its".

'''MIKE:''' I probably did that. I have a hard time with that. Until you made up that song in that later email.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so this was the way... lightswitch rave came from—I had this, um... my apartment, uh first year I lived alone in college, uh, my kitchen, the overhead light in the kitchen was always flickering. And so any time we'd turn that light on, uh, we would make that—do that song. That ''{singing}'' DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE. ''{stops}'' "The System Is Down" Mike made up, uh, but, uh, basically the background of music for this was just some dumb joke we did in college. Mike, what room is ''that'' supposed to be in?

'''MIKE:''' I—I always thought that was the other side of his desk, even though there's not the carpet there.

'''MATT:''' The carpet just ''ends''.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' The carpet ends right there halfway—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' At half of his desk.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, uh, the...

'''MATT:''' It's like the Simpsons house.

'''MIKE:''' The Strong house has problems.

===Fun Facts===
*The song Mike mentions in passing is the "Its/It's" Grammar Song from [[local news]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Email! Email! Email! Email!

''{reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
You rock! Your are the most awesomest 
thing ever, but how come you made a 
song about fhqwhgads? Will you make 
a song about me? 
 
Sibbie.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops reading after "fhqwhgads" to say:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. Spelled fhqwhgads right. You wouldn't believe how many I get where they're like, "Hey Strong Bad, I love your fubugrass." Or "Dear Strong Bad, where's that fuguman?" Anyways...

''{He continues reading, his voice getting progressively more incredulous as he does, as apparently he's shocked by the question. He also reads the name as "Sibbie?!" After he finishes, he says...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh... ''{typing}'' You people and your demands. Look, I'm not here to fulfill your every freakin' whim, alright? Make a song about me. Send Trogdor over to my house. Put on a purple thing and dance around! Well, I've had it! I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever make a song about the sibbie.

''{A beat starts playing in the background, and Strong Bad types and reads along with it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about— ''{stops singing, but continues typing}'' HEY! WHAT!?? Where's that beat coming from?

''{Zoom out a bit. Strong Bad turns to the side and sees The Cheat bobbing around as he plays a keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look who thinks he's Clever Dan. What are you trying to do, man? Get out of here!

''{The Cheat mutters something, picks up the keyboard, and walks behind Strong Bad's computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, that brought this email to a screeching halt. My focus is all... Krokused. Guess it's time for a break.

''{Strong Bad exits stage left. The Cheat peeks up from behind the computer. Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad enters stage right. The TV emits canned laughter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And... whoop! ''{He leaps over the back of the couch, sitting down to watch TV.}'' Oh, this is the one where the guy's mom shows the guy's girlfriend the pictures of the guy when he was a baby.

'''TV VOICE:''' ''{sounding offended}'' MOM!!! ''{canned laughter, again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the embarrassment.

''{Strong Sad enters stage left, listening to an iPod.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about Sibbie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut up! Where'd you hear that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Geez, I don't know. Some song I just downloaded off the Internet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Ugh. I gotta get out of here. ''{He exits stage left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks toward stage right}'' And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever...

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar Runner is standing next to a radio, occasionally bobbing left and right to the music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing on the radio}'' And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about Sibbie.

''{Strong Bad enters stage right.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{on the radio}'' And coming in at number 4, that was Strong Bad with "Song About Sibbie."

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't write a song about Sibbie! The Cheat just started playing some beat! I mean, I wasn't even-- I didn't mean to-- It was never my intention to-- I FREAKIN' HATE SIBBIE!!!

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And debuting at number 3, it's Strong Bad with "I Freakin' Hate Sibbie!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing on the radio}'' I freakin' hate Sibbie...

''{Strong Bad screams. As he screams, he grabs the radio, piledrives it, kicks it over, and then suplexes the radio, damaging it so that it stops playing. He then stands up, breathing hard. His right eye twitches twice in succession.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, man! I'd just about had it with that talking toaster.

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

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on the words "purple thing" to see Strong Bad's [[Wikipedia:Fruit of the Loom|Fruit of the Loom]] impression as purple [[grapes]] with the caption "lookin' good, SB."
*At the very end you can click on the [[booOOMbox]] to see Strong Bad teaching a class how to say "[[Fhqwhgads]]."
:''{Strong Bad and Homestar are standing in front of a chalkboard with "FHQWHGADS" written on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' "Fhqwhgads."
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fubugrass.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Say it with a flourish. "Fhqwhgads."
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fooboomagoo.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' It doesn't sound like it looks. "Fhqwhgads."
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping up in the foreground}'' Forhorglingrads!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach Z, I thought I asked you to leave, like, an hour ago.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{pushing Coach Z out of the way}'' DOUGLAS!!!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! We've had a breakthrough! You get a gold star.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Fhqwhgads" originated in [[i love you]]; the song Sibbie is referring to is [[Everybody to the Limit]].

===Trivia===
*The menu on [[Strong Sad's iPod]] reads "playlists", "songs", and "settings", but a Rev. 1 iPod's menu should read "Playlists", "Artists", "Songs", "Settings", "About", and "Now Playing".
**However, it is possible to change the settings of an iPod to customize the main menu.
*When this email was first released, Strong Bad had typed "stongbad_email.exe" as in the previous email, with no ill effects. This error was corrected about a year later.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#id 50 K race walk|50 K race walk]]".

===Remarks===
*The voice of Strong Bad on the radio and the lyrics Strong Sad sings include the phrase "...song about Sibbie." However, Strong Bad said "...song about ''the'' Sibbie." Furthermore, the beat had not entered by the time he said Sibbie.
**Similarly, the lyric for "I Freaking Hate Sibbie" doesn't sound like what Strong Bad screamed.
*The beat generated by The Cheat's keyboard stops by itself.

===Goofs===
*[[The Cheat's keyboard]] appears to have an extra key between E and F and ''two'' extra keys between B and C.
*When Strong Bad performs the vertical suplex on the radio, the radio is picked up speaker-up, and lands speaker-up. The way this move is performed, it should have landed speaker-down.
*When the camera zooms out to reveal The Cheat and his keyboard playing the beat, the contrast dial is gone on the Compy.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad saying "[[Douglas]]!" in the "fhqwhgads class" Easter egg is a reference to [[cheat talk]].
*The "fhqwhgads class" itself is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The radio which Homestar is listening to also appears in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Strong Bad calling The Cheat "Clever Dan" is yet another reference to the running gag of [[Dan]].
* This email contains a [[Musical Moment]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad refers to the Swiss metal band [[Wikipedia:Krokus|Krokus]], which had mainstream success in the '80s with their covers of rock anthems such as "School's Out" and "Ballroom Blitz".
*Strong Bad reveals his [[Professional Wrestling|wrestling]] skill when he attacks the radio, performing a [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling throws#Piledriver|piledriver]], kick, then a [[Wikipedia:Suplex#Vertical suplex|vertical suplex]].

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad makes the same screaming sound when he is stuck in the black in [[virus]], when [[Little Girl]] asks him to in [[Strong Bad vs. Little Girl!]], and in [[Where The Crap Are We?]].
*The Cheat creates another musical remix of spoken dialogue in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]].
*Strong Bad semi-contradicts his statement of not having to fulfill every demand requested of him in the email [[lady fan]], where he says when he's sent stupid emails, he's obligated by law to do what they ask.

== DVD Version ==
*The Fruit-of-the-Loom Easter egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*To view the fhqwhgads Easter egg, click the hidden Strong Bad logo to the upper left of the screen (behind Strong Bad's head) after the video is over.

'''Page Title:''' Bewaouw! Take Caouw! Bewaouw!

==Transcript==
''{Open in the field, silhouetted. Homestar and Pom Pom are standing in front of an inflatable pumpkin, and a paint splatter motif appears in the sky with a splash. As Homestar speaks, the pumpkin is shown in the regular daylight shot to be plugged into a tiny segment of wall sticking out of the ground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom, this Halloween is gonna be the Christmas ball! Hot tricks, cool treats, good friends, and MURDER!

''{Every time Homestar shouts "murder", the title screen for the toon pops up to a musical sting. It shows a silhouette of Pom Pom sliced in two, with a black paint splatter and the caption "I KILLED POM POM!"}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? Murder? Nah, that doesn't sound like something I would say. I was probably talking about the crisp cool air, the fallen leaves dappling the MURDER!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{As Homestar speaks, with his eyes closed, Pom Pom bounces away. He unknowingly pushes against the pumpkin's power cord and pulls it out of the socket as he does so, and it slowly deflates.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, man, you're hearing things. I was just talking about MURDER. And, you know, like this time of year sometimes there's a little bit of MURDER, and maybe a little bit of MURDER. But I would never say anything about— ''{opens his eyes and sees the now-completely-deflated pumpkin}'' WAH! Murder! ''{After the final musical sting, which is less dramatic, close-up on Homestar}'' Pom Pom! What happened? Did you get popped? Say a few bubbles! You can't be dead! You're my best friend and concubine! ''{crying}'' Oh, I should really look up what that word me-he-he-heeeans!

''{Cut to a wide shot revealing Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who-ho-hoa! What manner of stitch witchery have I stumbled upon this Hallows-eve?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Bad, I think my evil jealous side secretly killed Pom Pom without even telling my dopey lovable side!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, settle down, Homestar. Unckie Strong Bad'll getcha through this. Now, tell me exactly what happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it all started 117 days ago...

''{To a musical sting, the screen cuts to one similar to the title card and reads "4 hours later..." Cut back to The Field at night, with Strong Bad and Homestar in costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and then I turned back around, and there was a puddle of Pom Pom at my feet!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And no one else saw anything?

''{Close-up on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No one! Well, there was that inflatable pumpkin, but I think he said something about having a previous engagement. Man, I like that pumpkin. ''{Cut back to wide shot}'' I should really get his phone number.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it definitely sounds like you killed Pom Pom. First thing you need to do is dispose of the body. ''{Close-up on Strong Bad; he pulls a partially-transparent card out of his jacket}'' Here, go to Bubs's and get everything on this laminated murder cover-up check list. Plus a twelver of Cold Ones and a dozen Maple Bismarcks. For the cover up. Then meet me back in my basement.

''{Cut back to the wide shot; Homestar takes the laminated card.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Strong Bad, you're a real cartoon pal!

''{Homestar runs off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho, oh, this is gonna be a real good night.

''{Strong Bad walks off scatting the rhythm to the song "Mack The Knife" in silhouette. Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where Bubs and Coach Z are having a discussion. The side of the Stand has the remains of two eggs plastered onto the side.}''

'''BUBS:''' Heh heh, I'd like to see those teenagers try and egg the concession stand this year, now that I own an ostrich farm! ''{places a large egg on the counter}''

'''COACH Z:''' Boy, I'll say! And these piña colordas are torp nortch! ''{Coach Z produces a similarly large egg that has been cracked with its top missing, and an umbrella, straw, and cherry sticking out of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey there say there, Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' Happy Halloween, Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah! And I'm standing here!

''{beat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just the essentials tonight, just the essentials. Lemme get a, uh, 50 gallon drum of bleach...

'''BUBS:''' ''{produces a storage drum}'' Check.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and a 50 gallon drum of saw blades...

'''BUBS:''' ''{produces another}'' Sounds good.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and a 50 gallon drum of body bags.

'''BUBS:''' ''{produces a third drum}'' Reasonable.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in his mind}'' Boy, Homestar, you got this. These guys don't suspect a thing! Just order these last few everyday items and we're in the clear! ''{aloud, sweating, and growing more nervous by the second}'' Um... I need a... twelve pack of cold ones, and um... a dozen maple Bismarcks I DON'T KNOW WHAT BISMARCKS ARE I KILLED POM POM!

'''BUBS:''' Simmer down Homestar, it's all right! We've all made, quote unquote, "mistakes"!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, who hasn't slipped up and engaged in a little, quote unquote, "premeditated murder in cold blood"? Am I right?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So what do I do now?

'''BUBS:''' You need to establish an alibi!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, with witnesses! And if ya's can swing it, wetnesses!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, I can do that, I can do that, I can do that, I can do that, I can do that—

'''BUBS:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep, sorry, got it, peow! ''{runs off}''

'''BUBS:''' Good kid, that Homestar... should we light 'em up?

'''COACH Z:''' Absalortly!

''{Coach Z and Bubs launch their eggs in Homestar's direction. Cut to a silhouette of the King of Town's castle, with a jack-o'lantern face in the castle. The Poopsmith and the King Of Town are standing out front. Cut to a wide shot.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{as though a whiny teenager}'' Gah, I keep telling you, Poopsmith, I didn't do it! Stop acting like my dad!

''{Pan over to reveal Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking into a "burner phone", which is really just a piece of cardboard with a keypad and a square with "BURNER" drawn on it}'' What? Yeah, I've been here all the live-long day. At the KOT's castle, or as I like to call it, Alibi City. ''{cut to close-up}'' Who? Pom Pom? Never heard of him! Sounds like someone who's still alive, though. Okay corroborating witness, bye! Click!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Ahem!

''{cut back to wide shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Hey Can Of Town, Tootsmith, you guys hear that legitimate conversation I was just having? ''So'' legitimate.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' So you've been here at the castle all day?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep! Right here! Innocent as charged!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Ah-ha! I told you I didn't eat your pile of whatsit! It was him!

''{Zoom out to show Homestar standing in what is left of the whatsit pile. The Poopsmith's shovel is behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap... literal crap...

''{Cut to a close-up on The Poopsmith as he turns the dial on his helmet to "4" and raises his claw-hand menacingly. Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! Objection! Leading the witness! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom are sitting around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and he totally thinks the inflatable pumpkin is you, Pom Pom!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He also tried to get its phone number, which is more than a little weird.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Unckie Strong Bad, I need more help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom, quick, hide!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{Pom Pom ducks behind the couch as Homestar walks in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Things have really gone downhill! Not only did I murder Pom Pom, but now it's on record that I ate fifteen hundred pounds of crap.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{laughs}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho, stifle a laugh. Well, you know what you gotta do now, don't you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I will literally do whatever comes out of that sweet rectangular mouth next.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, in that case, you gotta... get us sixteen dozen maple bismarcks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Done!

''{Homestar moves as if to run off. Horizontal wipe to the basement filled with pastries.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' These are kolaches, I said bismarcks!

''{Homestar moves to run off again. Wipe to the basement filled with different pastries. The Cheat is laying on his back, holding his belly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eating}'' Now that's more like it! Now you gotta find a patsy and pin that murder on him like a corsage on a puffy-dressed prom date!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean like with a lot of blood and them going, "Ow, ow, Homestar, ow, quit it, I'm not going to prom with you anymore! And I hate Bennigan's!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, something like that. Now go stash Pom Pom's body at their house!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But who I'm supposed to pin this murder on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The most unsuspecting saps you can find...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Strong Sad is sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{hisses}''

''{Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey Strong Sad, there's a bad horror movie on. Wanna make snappy comments and obscure references while we watch it?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know I can't see, I just drew these eyes on my hands.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Why don't you just take your hands down?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{nervously}'' Uh, because I may have also sorta super-glued my eyes shut...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG SAD:''' For authenticity! ''{He moves his hands aside. His eyes are not visible at all.}'' I was trying to be a cosplay-donnaire!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's a word you just made up!

''{Zoom out to show Homestar standing beside them, holding his cram rod (minus the tinsel).}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah-ha! I knew you two were up to something!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ahh, cosplay-dang!

''{Close-up on Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, I admit it! My homemade kombucha is just apple cider vinegar with Strong Sad's... loogis floating in it.

''{Strong Sad leans in from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My secret shame slash finest hour!

''{Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't play games with me, you murdered Pom Pom! ''{Cut back to reveal that the pumpkin is stuffed in Marzipan's couch cushions.}'' You stuffed his body right here under the couch all day probably, ''{taps the pumpkin with the cram rod, cramming it further under the cushions}'' since you murdered him.

'''MARZIPAN:''' This again?

''{A loud sound suddenly emanates. The screen shakes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I hear a yonder ruckus!

''{Cut to the field, The King Of Town, The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Coach Z come in.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{still with a whiny teenager-like intonation}'' Gah, what's all this noise? This is so lame!

'''COACH Z:''' So what's so what's the scenario?

''{Cut to Marzipan's porch, where Strong Sad and Marzipan come out of the house.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Look!

''{A silhouette of Pom Pom appears from behind a bush, with the moon and splatter motif in the background.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' A specter rises!

''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat behind the bushes. The Cheat is holding up Pom Pom from atop Strong Mad, who is holding the [[booOOMbox]]. They grunt and throw Pom Pom into the air. Cut back to the silhouetted shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, Homestar! ''{cut to Strong Bad with the other characters gathered in the background}'' It's Pom Pom's ghost come back to haunt you! Don't you want to, you know, pee your pants, or something else embarrassing while all these people are gathered here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, Unckie— ''{runs into the bottom point of Strong Bad's costume}'' Ow! Thing is sharp!... No way, Unckie Strong Bad, you guys have shown me the light! It's time to fight murder with... ''{Homestar breaks the point off of Strong Bad's chin}'' murder!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, wait!

''{Homestar jumps up and throws the point at Pom Pom. A blinding flash of light covers Pom Pom, and as he explodes, a simple popping sound is heard and whatever was left of him floats to the ground. Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, that wasn't a ghost! That was really him! You just... you... you...

''{Cut to a group shot of the characters minus Homestar}''

'''ALL:''' You killed Pom Pom!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhhm, duh!

''{The "I Killed Pom Pom" title card comes up again, which cuts to a card reading "Next season"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{narrating over the title card.}'' Next season on Homestar Runner dot com...

''{Cut to the field, Homestar, dressed in his normal attire, is standing next to the inflatable pumpkin.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, inflatable pumpkin, you're a way better best friend than that floaty old Pom Pom ever was.

''{The pumpkin suddenly deflates. Pom Pom appears from behind it, having been crudely reassembled and looking angry. He brandishes the same piece of Strong Bad's costume that popped him. Cut to a frightened Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahh!

''{Cut to a title card, which shows Homestar cut in two, reading "I Killed Homestar!" This fades into the cast standing in the field.}''

Crack Stuntman has an important message.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Gunhaver}}, {{Film|Fightgar}}, {{Film|Firebert}}, {{Film|Blue Laser Commander}}, {{Film|Blue Laser Minion}}, {{Film|Silent Rip}}, {{Film|Crackotage}}, [[Flashfight]], {{Film|Reynold}}, {{Film|Ripberger}}, {{film|Crack Stuntman}}, [[Reynold's Brother]], [[Foxface]]

'''Places:''' [[Cheat Commandos HQ]], [[Blue Laser Cottage]], [[The Beach]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 26, 2007

'''Running Time:''' 2:01

'''Page Title:''' We now return to the REAL Cheat Commandos!

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{Scene opens to a VCR-like opening screen with static at the top and "PLAY" and a timer going up from "0:20:14." The tracking lines gradually disappear.}

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{standing next to Fightgar and Firebert}'' —pants back on, Blue Laser!

''{Cut to Blue Laser Commander holding his pair of pants up while not wearing any.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' How could you ''possibly'' refer to these as ''PANTS''?

''{Cut back to the Commandos}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Ahahaha! ''{turns to other Commandos; suppresses laughter}'' Cheat Commandos... riggidy-roll!

''{The other Commandos look confused and surprised. Cut to Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh... that's not what we usually say—

''{Cut back to Gunhaver}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Yeah whatever, ''{background music stops}'' it's riggidy-roll from now on.

''{Cut to usual end screen, "Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!!" appears on the screen and is sung to music. The text "created by [[A. Chimendez]]" appears at the bottom. "Riggidy Roll" is carved into the plinth that Gunhaver stands on instead of "Rock Rock On" as usual, and the characters at the bottom seem confused.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Buy all our playsets and toys!

''{Cut to pink screen with a guy with a green shirt with "CRACK" on his shirt pocket}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Hi kids. ''{lunges at screen}'' BLAAAAH'm Crack Stuntman. ''{places hand on chest.}'' I'm the voice of the ''{removes hand from chest}'' gun-shaver on Cheat Commandos! Here with an important rap song about safety ''{holds up 1 finger}'' and spring break. ''{holds up another finger}'' ''{points offscreen}'' Bust it! ''{music starts playing, Crack's head bobs to the beat}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' 
Well you're a rich kid, living in the suburbs, 
and there's not a whole lot to do. 
You stroll into the kitchen and what do you find? 
A bunch of knives cold staring at you!

So, 
Kidz, don't play wit' 2 many knives. 
C'mon, c'mon. 
Crack Stuntman gonna ''save'' some lives.

Awwwwwww...

It's spring break, 
Girlies running wild, 
Jet to the beach 
wearin' the freshest styles. 
Meet a bunch of kids from Alabama! 
Beach volleyball slammajamma! 
Putt-putt, go carts, bungee-jumpin'! 
Crack Stuntman keeps the bass pumpin'!

Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh, 
Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh. 
Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh, 
Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh. 
Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh, 
Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh. 
Poo-poo-ha-ha-ha-ha-huh-ha-huh.

Holla for a dolla! 
Shout for some clout! 
Somebody say holla for a dolla! 
Let's turn this party out!

Bonfire on the beach and people start to dance, 
Find a fly girlie for some beach romance. 
But then a fresh honey comes walkin' by. 
How can a man choose between fresh and fly? 
''(spoken)'' And believe me, there ''is'' a difference!

Throw your hands in the air for some high-fives, 
and kidz, don't play wit' 2 many knives.

And I am out!

''{Cut to a gray background where the words "Download All Our Number One Jams!!" appear in white on a gray background. The Cheat Commandos theme music plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Download all our number one jams!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This toon is a parody of various [[Wikipedia:Public service announcement|public service announcements]] seen at the end of Saturday morning cartoon shows such as ''[[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (TV series)|G.I. Joe]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Captain Planet|Captain Planet]]''. These announcements generally convey messages against things such as drug use and littering, and usually feature characters from the cartoon.
*"Fresh" in this case means "first rate", while "fly" means "stylish".
*"Clout" means "special advantage or influence"

===Trivia===
*This is the first toon in which Foxface has been animated.
*The [[Wikipedia:Serial number|serial number]] on the dollar bill that appears during the rap is 34678234678 on the left side and 67834jq8nds on the right. On a real American dollar bill the serial number would be the same on both sides, and the letters would be capitalized.
*The background beat of the song was made with a [[Wikipedia:TR-909|TR-909]] drum machine.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Crack Stuntman drops science and knife moderation."

===Remarks===
*The Blue Laser Commander asks, "How could you possibly refer to these as pants?" but his minions implied that the clothes in question are indeed pants in [[Commandos in the Classroom]]. Fightgar was asked by a Blue Laser Minion to "put these wine coolers down [his] pants", presumably in the same way that the two minions have wine coolers down their pants. However, when the Blue Laser Minion realizes that Fightgar isn't wearing pants he says, "...er, down your headband."
*The golf clubs displayed are not putters, which are commonly used for miniature golfing, as the song refers to.
*The sound in this toon is considerably higher quality than usual. This was also done in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] and the character videos of [[The King of Town]] and [[Marzipan]].
*The rap song's overall rhythm and repetition of "come on, come on" is similar to Strong Bad's email song in the [[senior prom#Easter Eggs|Easter egg]] at the end of [[senior prom]].
*When the Cheat Commandos are at the bonfire, they are [[Flipped Images|flipped over]] and the "BL" logos on the Blue Laser members are reversed.
*Even after [[Eggs (toon)]] and [[from work]] were released two weeks later, the [[Main Page Message]] linking to this toon still read "new cartoon!"
**On April 13th, it was changed to "2 many knives".
*The first displayed lyric in the onomatopoeia section is "poo ha huh ha huh", but the second one is spelled "poo ha hoo ha hoo."

===Goofs===
*This toon's entry in the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] incorrectly shows a running time of 2:19 in the "Shorts" section. The time is shown correctly in the "What's New" section.
*Crack Stuntman's second "Pistols for Pandas" visor and Blue Laser's uniform are just mirror images of the first ones, so the logos are reversed.
**This may be a reference to the trend within low budget, 1980s cartoons of simply mirroring animation.
*When Crack Stuntman's face appears on the dollar bill, the "Pistols for Pandas" logo on his visor disappears.
*In the line up of the Cheat Commandos at the start of the toon, Fightgar does not have his stubble.
*During the night scenes, the moon in the sky is full, but its reflection in the water is crescent.

===Inside References===
*The visors [[Crack Stuntman]] is wearing have [[Pistols For Pandas (organization)|Pistols for Pandas]] logos on them.
*This is the second time Crack Stuntman has [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2|mispronounced Gunhaver's name]].
*Beach volleyball was previously mentioned in [[Shopping for Danger]].
*This toon makes reference to [[pants]].
*The paint splatter background during the "Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh" segment of the song is identical to one seen in [[modeling]].
*Reynold's brother finds several [[Big Knives]].
*This song is described as a "[[Number One Jam]]".
*There is an [[interrupted conversation]] at beginning of this cartoon.
*This is another example of [[dancing]].
*[[Alabama]] is mentioned.

===Real-World References===
*The page title is a reference to such cartoons as ''The Real [[Ghostbusters]]'' & ''[[Wikipedia:The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest|The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]''.

==See Also==
*The [[An Important Rap Song Visuals|visuals]] that occur during the rap song.

==DVD Version==
*The message "Download All Our Number One Jams!!" is retained, but, for obvious reasons, you can no longer actually download the song.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Fightgar]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Here! This is a first.

'''MIKE:''' Oh!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I'm going to do the commentary with Mike!

'''MIKE:''' All right, uh, hold on.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' You don't even know which one I am!

'''MIKE:''' Crackotage! You're Crackotage!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I don't think so, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, which one are you?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Fightgar!

'''MIKE:''' Really? All right. You're the one with the bullets around your chest, right?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' 'S right. And I say, "Right, right, right, right, right."

'''MIKE:''' Look who it is!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Who's that?

'''MIKE:''' That's, uh, Crack Stuntman. Who does your voice, by the way? Crack Stuntman does Gunhaver's voice. Who does your voice, Fightgar?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh, Reno— Reynaldo Crake.

'''MIKE:''' Reynaldo Crake. I think you made that up.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I may ha— It's true.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh...

'''MATT:''' All right, I'll stop.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Fightgar wasn't going to have a whole lot to say.

'''MATT:''' I didn't have a lot of mileage.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' So, uh, originally, Crack Stuntman was going to show up at the end of the, um, Commandos in the Classroom—

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''MATT:''' —and deliver an important message to the kids.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' In the— In the G.I. Joe PSA vein. Uh, but we didn't— we cut that scene. And then, uh— now, he— we decided to slip him into an answering machine and now here he is. He's since gone on to cameo in a Strong Bad Email, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' Which is kind of what any secondary Homestar Runner character could wish for.

'''MIKE:''' Could hope for.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' There's Foxface. I think that's the first time we've seen animated Foxface, out of her—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we've seen her figurine.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. He's got a Pi— Pistols For Pandas visor on! Two of them!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

'''MIKE:''' I like the idea of a rap song that's warning kids to, you know, like, "Be safe, but not too safe!"

'''MATT:''' Yeah, don't forget to party!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

==Transcript==
''{Short opens with pan down to the field. Cut to a close-up of the Tragic Clown Dog's face. Zoom out to a medium shot of Strong Bad's face visible in an open flap of the costume, taking a drag off what appears to be a cigarette and exhaling audibly. Coach Z, wearing the Drive-Thru Whale costume, enters screen right.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, hey there, fellow mascot! I didn't know you was the smokin' type!

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whisperingly}'' Shh! I'm not! ''{normally}'' But Bubs only gives me one of each kind of break. I've already used pee, coffee, and maternity leave today. And this is a white crayon.

''{Cut to a medium shot. Homestar Runner enters screen left, wearing the Jolly Dumple costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is up, my fellow sweat factories?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I didn't know ''you'' were working today.

''{Close up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's freshman orientation. I'm in charge of orienting them freshly!

''{Cut to Homestar in the field with the CGNU tower visible in the back, and silhouettes of freshmen in the front. The words of Homestar's song are shown at the bottom of the screen, with a ball bouncing as he sings each word.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' You're gonna have to 
share a bafroom 
with some kid from Alabama 
that kinda sucks. 
The financial aid office 
is closed on Tuesdays 
and steer clear of the 
beef stroganoff at the 
dining hall!

''{Close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' C! G! N! ...U! ''{whispering}'' And then, and then you guys all say "Me?"

''{Cut back to medium shot.}''

'''FRESHMEN:''' ''{mumbling}'' No way, no way.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, that's good, that's good. ''{dancing, quietly}'' We got spirit!

''{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At least you get college kids! I got little snot-butted kids messing with my costume all day!

''{Pan over to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I used to have that prablem, too, but now I just swallow 'em up and spit 'em out in the baall baath! ''{throws several colored balls out from the mouth of his costume}''

''{Close-up of Coach Z. The top of his costume gains and loses bumps as an unseen child stuck in the costume knocks on it.} ''

'''CHILD:''' Mommy! Mommy! I don'— can't see!

'''COACH Z:''' Oop! Looks like I forgot one. He'll be fine for at least a week.

''{Cut back to medium shot of all three.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, where's Pom Pom, anyway?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, P-squared's not in the union. He doesn't even get a break.

''{Cut a low shot of Pom Pom strapped to the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, with a sign that reads "RIGHT CAR! RIGHT PPICE!"}''

'''BUBS:''' What is wrong with you? Attract more customers! ''{Cut to an inflatable gorilla with glasses behind the [[Gremlin]] with a sign that reads "YOUR TEXT HERE!"}'' That gorilla's pulling his own!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sniffing}'' Man, what ''is'' that smell?

''{Cut to a shot of all three}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Homestar, we're three grown men working in mascot costumes in the dead of summer! What ''isn't'' that smell? ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' I can name about forty different odors emanating from this thing right now. There's death, rot, decay—

''{Cut to close up of Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Damp, moist, kimchi!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holding yellow alarm clock, which rings once}'' Ah! It's time. ''{shot of all three}'' Let's do this.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Homestar and Coach Z walk off}'' Ugh, not again....

''{Cut to a close-up of a speaker on a wooden pole}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' That's right, ladies and gentlemen! ''{Cut to a shot of The Announcer in the booth}'' For your between-inning unjoyment, it's the Bumbling Mascot Race Around the Field!

''{Matt and Mike sing "Yakety Sax" while Coach Z, Homestar, and Strong Bad move randomly around a baseball diamond.}''

''{Cut to the inflatable gorilla with a sign that reads "The Ending Here!"}''

'''MATT:''' Does it end different?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Let's do it again.

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the Gorilla's mouth at the end to see an animation of a video game with the mascots.
*:''{A black screen with "GAME START!" appears. The mascots run around on platforms and ladders, referencing the old video game 'Burger Time', while Mike and Matt hum the theme music. Eventually, Mike stops humming. "GAME OVER" flashes on screen.}''
*:'''MATT:''' Go longer.
*:''{Mike starts and stops again}''
*:'''MATT:''' No, I mean you stopped longer.

*Click on the word "Here!" at the end to see Homestar and Coach Z (as Poppy and Stoppy, respectively, from [[theme park]]) have a conversation at Mount Ridesplace, USA. Music plays and a pink border is present.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, these mascot costumes in Strong Bad's imagination are ''way'' better than the real-life ones!
*:'''COACH Z:''' Boy, I'll say! Mine's got a minibar and air conditionin'!
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My ol' Dumple costume had air conditioning. It conditioned the air to think it smelled like... dead zut.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Kimchi|Kimchi]] is a pickled Korean dish made with beef stock, cabbage, and hot peppers, and is known for its distinctive pungent smell and mildly spicy taste.
*Mascots or other costumed figures are featured at [[Wikipedia:Sausage Race|several]] [[Wikipedia:Presidents Race|ballparks]] racing around the field between innings during baseball games.

===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Short - On Break|RSS description]] of this toon is:<blockquote>'''Matt says''' - When you unintentionally create [[HR:sbemail73.html|three different]] [[HR:sbemail121.html|giant foam]] [[HR:blubbos.html|mascot costumes]] several years apart, you KNOW you're doing something right. Mike and I were walking from the car place to Oga's on a very pedestrian unfriendly highway when we wrote most of this short. There were lotsa car dealerships though, with all types of undualting, inflatable eye-catchers to help inspire us. Mike lost his flip flop crossing the 8-lane street and had to wait for the light to change to run back and get it. </blockquote>

===Remarks===
*The collar and tie on Strong Bad's costume have been moved down since their last appearance, to make room for the door.
*Although Strong Bad denies being a [[Smoking|smoker]], he's been seen smoking a cigar in a [[Store Thank You Message]].
**In consideration that the costumes are likely made from [[Polymascotfoamalate]], smoking in one would be potentially dangerous (more so than usual), as seen in [[4 branches]]; however, only the Jolly Dumple costume is known to be made of Polymascotfoamalate.
*Strong Bad indicates that he, Homestar, and Coach Z are grown men; a rare clue as to [[Ages of Characters|their relative ages]].
*Just as it was in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]], the Gremlin's passenger-side window is completely opaque and gray.
*When the scene cuts back to the three mascots after the gorilla balloon, the "ball bath" balls have disappeared.
*When Strong Bad runs around at the end of the toon and in the Easter egg, the door on his costume [[Flipped Images|switches sides]] whenever he turns around. However, the animation in these sequences seems to be intentionally poor.
*Even though Strong Bad says his "cigarette" is a white crayon, its tip seems to be smoking.
*Strong Bad has a much easier time walking in his costume than he did in [[part-time job]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is holding his alarm clock, there is a very thin white gap between the black border and the bottom of the green background.
*As Homestar walks away from Strong Bad, he vanishes shortly before he has walked completely offscreen.

===Inside References===
*The various costumes:
**Strong Bad appears as the [[Tragic Clown Dog]], seen in [[part-time job]]. (At the end of that email, however, he quit working for Bubs.)
**Coach Z appears as the [[Drive-Thru Whale]], from [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].
**Homestar once more wears his [[Jolly Dumple]] costume, first seen in [[mascot]]. (The sing-along style of Homestar's song, as well as the ending, are also references to this email.)
**In an Easter egg, Coach Z and Homestar appear as [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Poppy]] the [[Tire]] and [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Stoppy]] the [[Stop Sign]], who appeared in [[theme park]].
*The pink border in the [[Mount Ridesplace, USA]] Easter egg is from [[dreamail]].
*Strong Bad [[Smoking|smokes]] a white [[crayon]].
*The background music for Homestar's orientation song is the version of the CGNU Fight Song played by a high school band that was featured as the [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-02-09|Quote of the Week]] on February 9, 2006.
*Strong Bad mentions "[[Peeing|pee]], [[coffee]], and [[Pregnancy|maternity leave]]" as the types of breaks he has taken that day.
*Homestar mentions [[sucks]] during his song.
*Coach Z mentions his smells as being [[moist]].
*"Kids from [[Alabama]]" were previously mentioned in [[An Important Rap Song]].

===Real-World References===
*The instrumental "[[Wikipedia:Yakety Sax|Yakety Sax]]" is sung while the mascots race around the Athletic Field.
*The Easter egg activated by clicking the gorilla's mouth is a parody of [[Wikipedia:BurgerTime|BurgerTime]].
*The [[page title]] is a reference to the band [[Wikipedia:Thinking Fellers Union Local 282|Thinking Fellers Union Local 282]].
*When the kid shouts "Mommy! I don- can't see!", it may be a reference to the 1982 film [[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]], when Carol Anne shouts the same thing from inside another dimension.

== Block'd? ==
Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not. If you didn't though, then 1 week was probably a little harsh. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Meh, maybe you're right. I was going primarily from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=568565 this edit}}, and I thought that the anonny had been reverted three times and was being persistent with adding those links. I'll unblock for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops! Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was just fooling around and deleting some spam from the sandbox. The anonny wasn't spamming any other pages than the sandbox. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 21:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No need to fear, Turtle, you acted correctly. Dotty just got a little carried away—which he ''rarely'' does, I might add, he does a bang-up job here and I'm personally proud of what he's accomplished—and made a premature judgement in absence of the facts. He fixed it, and all is well now, all is safe and sound. Sleep peacefully. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Dotty? Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! ''{suddenly sotto voce}'' No. Thanks as always to Qermaq for putting a bow on what was pretty much already wrapped up. ;) (Although I ''would'' recommend in the future not yelling in summaries if one is not trying to attract attention. But yeah, no big deal now.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Admit it, you kinda love it when I call you Dotty. ;) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Personally, I think Dot Com should be quoting [[Wikipedia:Yakko, Wakko and Dot|Dot Warner]] right about now: "Call me, Dotty and you die." {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:30, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::"Yeah, you're probably right." {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

== Joshua ==

Okay, I know you have a fanstuff talk page. But this is serious. Joshua, the sysop, did something like blackmail. Now the forum is messed up and Super Sam blocked him. Can you please fix this mess? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:I do believe that what is occurring is simply playful banter which Sam here has taken a bit too seriously. Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 05:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::Edit conflict: Lies. All lies! Clearly I'm the only one who knows how it all went down. Joshua randomly bans Super Sam on the forum and then Super Sam screws around with the forum skin for revenge. Also I think Supra tried to block Joshua on the wiki but Joshua just unblocked himself. Just a spot of fun, no need to get all grumpy about it. I think it's pretty dang hilarious the way it's going down. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 05:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Thanks for stopping by, you guys. Thanks for breaking my cow lamp. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Peasant%27s_Quest_Walkthrough&curid=3090&diff=570451&oldid=568760 this}} is pretty awesome... great jorb! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks! I installed the feature back during the last upgrade (because the fanstuff kept pestering me to) but hadn't found a good use for it here at the knowledge base until now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button. It will give you a place to enter the thread header and format it automatically. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::Jolly good. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Just the same, I think I'd like my username changed. (I've been thinking of ditching LuxAcerbus for a while now.) Sysops can do that, right? {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 19:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::::Bureaucrats can, yes. See [[HRWiki:Changing username]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::Thank you for the help, my good man. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 23:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::Yep, I concur with Phlip's suggestion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Alrighty, thanks for that. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 14:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Looking at [[Talk:Main_Page#Read-Only_Forum|this]], it appears a lot of the forum users have been giving you grief over the locked forum. I just would like to pause for a moment and say thank you. You have dealt with this matter professionally, and I would like to say that in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. Thank you for managing this problem well. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for your comments. It remains to be seen whether splitting off the off-topic discussion from the H*R threads will be a good thing, but I'm hoping for the best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, I sent the email, but I didn't get a reply. {{User:The thing/sig}} 12:52, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, you sent two emails. I only said you'd get a reply if it was necessary, and in your case it's not. The status bars only indicate that a certain step is done out of many. You'll know that the wiki is back up when it looks like a MediaWiki wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, also, can you not do the purge in the next 3 hours? I have to go somewhere. {{User:The thing/sig}} 21:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Deal. Before I do it, I'll be sure to ask you if it's okay. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I already sent you my email. Should I post my new username on [[HRWiki:Changing username]], or just wait? - {{User:Super Sonic X/Sig}} 00:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

:Seriously, you guys. Stop pestering Dot com. He's doing his best, and he's working very hard for you. Yes, for '''you'''. Give him some credit. It's dot com is spending hours and hours (literally) of his spare time fixing the fanstuff wiki for you, and the last thing he needs (I'm sure of it) is someone poking him with a stick continuously, asking if he's done yet. So sit back and relax, give him some space, and when he's finally done, thank him very much for it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 13:05, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

From my old fanstuff talk page:
<blockquote>
[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Recentchanges Check this out]

It's the recent changes page of The Mario Wiki. I made an account there, and I realized on the recent changes page, there's a little section for who's currently logged in. I figured I'd ask you if we could possibly make this a feature here. It would make things alot easier when trying to contact users and such. --{{User:TheDenzel/sig}} 18:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
:[...] This would indeed be interesting, but people shouldn't have their identities exposed just because they're browsing. Part of what a lot of people like about reading a wiki is that you're not publicly logged unless you edit. And there's the thing: one should be able to tell who's online well enough just by looking at the recent changes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
</blockquote>
Or do you mean something that only sysops and/or developers could see? If so, we already have enough behind-the-scenes access to handle our relatively minor spam load. Thanks though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:I mean that only registered users can see, and from my knowledge of it, noone EVER uses it but me, for some reason on the other wikis I go on. It would just help alot. {{User:Red And Black/siggy}} 19:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Well, like I said last year, I don't think that information should be available to just anyone who happens to have an account. There's almost no reason (if any) to look over someone's shoulder if they're merely reading articles. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

::::It would be nearly impossible to tell whether someone was about to vandalize based solely on what they're looking at. Even if it were possible, the vigilance required to make the extension effective would be prohibitively time-consuming.

:::The above link to that template talk page has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

I'm not saying I don't go overboard (my illustrations on [[Talk:car#Homestar's spinning buzzer|Homestar's spinning buzzer]] are just the latest example), but I think making a whole YouTube video trumps anything I've done.

I've been good, nearly done hiugh school, which leaves me to my first question:

I'll be leaving Homestar Runner wiki, temporarily, for school reasons. Anyhow, can someone you tell me where i can find a banner template to place on my wikipage saying I'll be off wiki for a while?

Thanks a bunch.

:Wow, Nikolce, long time no hear from. We don't really have a template for that kind of thing, but you can make a banner by taking some code from one of our other templates and putting it on your page. Then you can update the message to suit whatever you need it to say. I'm curious how long a while is (your last edit was last April, which is what I'd consider a while). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

<div>subject: name change</div>
Dear Mr. Com,
I understand that you must envisage me as a person who takes the Homestar Runner Wiki for granted, as I have created several different users. I am writing here to plead my case to change my username.
When I first created the account Jagger88, I looked at my talk page, and deleted the Welcome comment straight away. I therefore did not look at any information I may have needed. Therefore, I had no idea there was a way to change your username, and therefore created new users whenever I wanted to have a different username. If you look at recent changes, you will see that I have not used Do-Nots, Open Source Greg, or the new paper rox since you gave me a warning (the user Hremails was my brothers before he got confused with all the computer language). 
Please consider my application to change my name to TNDY, as I believe in recent times I have proved myself useful to this wiki. (I did like, the whole transcript for [[Pistols for Pandas]], discovered [[Career Day]], and the [[Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD]], aswell as along the way improving my understanding of this wiki. 
I'm only a teenager, and I actually think this wiki has what it takes to teach me some respect and responsibility. 
Sincerely, {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 09:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry if this offends anybody but there was a shocking post on [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Heimstern_L%C3%A4ufer#Question_about_my_banning.3F this thread].

== A Probably <s>Bad</s> Good Idea ==

We all know about the decomisionning of STUFF, which I do support, but I reviewed your new version of the STUFF template and I loved it.

I really think we should get it into the talk page. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 03:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

==Another Fanstuff Thing==
I don't mean to kill the already several dead horses about this topic, but I don't think the sysops are going to fix the Fanstuff Wiki. I know you have a life, n'stuff, but we want some stuff done. I don't care if you do half a page a day. Any progress is good progress. And if your schedule doesn't allow for any Fan-Wiki work, then get people that will accualy work. The regular people word be WAY more willing, and more faster, to fix these unfinished pages. In short, I hope you take some time to work on the Fan-Wiki, get better workers, and always, ALWAYS edit blank pages. [[User:Anonomous]]

== Why do you still do this? ==
Why do you still do this? You're managing the same website you did three years ago, and still for no reason. You're thirty three years old! You don't think that maybe it's time to start a family? To take care of your wife or something? Take a page from me and stop going here. The "friends" you make won't miss you, they'll just drown their sorrows in computer code. Please, just stop this whole thing.
:It's a hobby and I like it. In the last five (not three) years I've learned a lot of things about teamwork, management, critical thinking, and software development. Things I can carry over into my professional life.

== Thanks for the purge! ==

Hi Dot Com. I was just passing by to tell you that I, for one, am most delighted about how the purge took over 500 days. Without the purge, I'd still be dwelling on the Fanstuff Wiki with not much else to do, but since its absence, I've pursued other hobbies and personal projects, which most probably wouldn't have happened if the Fanstuff Wiki was still around. For example, since it went down with the purge, I've started to learn more about programming and website creation, not to mention polishing up my English skills and discovering my humble abilities as an amateur musician. That's really all I have to say. And again, thank you. No this contains no sarcasm whatsoever. -[[User:20eric06|20eric06]] 02:07, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you! During the Fanstuff purge I asked to change my username from Chituze to Happy: now it says I've got the wrong password, and I don't receive the verification email. I'm absolutely positive I've been typing the password right, because I use the same one everywhere. Are you able to find my password for me, or maybe allocate happypants3@hotmail to the account?

:Well, that's a bit of bad luck, I'm afraid. The reason the password won't work is that someone else already has the name [[User:Happy|Happy]].

== Regarding [[Talk:Scroll_Button_Songs#Mirror_Glitch|Mirror Glitch]] ==

Hey, man. I just went over the articles for cleanup and saw [[Scroll Button Songs]]. The article looked OK and I went over the last few talk page posts to see why it should be cleaned up. I saw no problem, and I was just about to remove the template, when I decided to dig in the history a little and came across [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Scroll_Button_Songs&diff=prev&oldid=645922 this edit] from almost exactly a year ago. That discussion started two and a half years ago, and the article has been in "cleanup" ever since. Is that REALLY such a big of an issue? I mean, it looks like some technical thing to fix that should not bother the casual reader. I didn't even notice the email list on the mirrors after I read the talk page. I just listened to the songs. What I'm suggesting is to remove the template and you'll just fix whatever you need to fix whenever you got the time, since the article itself is fine. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 06:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
:I'm not sure why you're asking me. I already {{p|l={{fullurl:Scroll Button Songs|diff=559384&oldid=559344}} removed that cleanup template}} once, and I didn't make the edit you linked to. The same user who made that edit is the one who {{p|l={{fullurl:Scroll Button Songs|diff=624822&oldid=606972}} put the template back}}. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

well, you caught my attention with the chat on Super Sam's talk on the fanstuff wiki, and i didn't get to put my idea in before you locked it out. i figure this is as relevant a topic as any. if the sysops and moderators are the problem, why don't you get some new ones over there? i don't think this is worth closing that wiki. I'm sure there's a lot of people that would be capable enough to run that wiki that update frequently enough to care. I'm not saying it's me, i haven't done anything on either for over a year besides now, but I'm sure there are people that care about the fanstuff wiki as much as you care about the knowledge base. and i don't believe either site deserves to die just for lack of usage after the purge. a lot of the users just said "screw it" after waiting so long for it to come back, it seems unfair to close it for good before there's time to get more people interested again.

Did you make that? What a great idea! {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 03:11, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, the idea came from the annony of [[{{#ifexist:HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 40|HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 40#Wiki image|Talk:Main Page#Wiki image}}|this Main Page discussion]], who was concerned about the bandwidth being [[isp|sucked up]] by that giant, 1 MB GIF. That is some epic decompiler work you did there, Dot Com! I've always wondered how you got Homestar in the logo like that, and I enjoy the little Easter Egg. The addition of Flash detection is also very nice. Except I'm not that big of a fan of the lost Decemberween colors, but it adds consistency and balances the page, in my opinion. Also, you might want to remove the special no-click treatment for the 'flakes. It's making my cursor spazz-out. Anyway, great work! Now everything is tiny. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 04:16, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I just like to comment the new years logo. I like how after a few seconds Homestar blows a party blower and confetti falls. It really caught my eye.

Y'ello, Dot Com, I was wondering, in the vague interest of another wiki I contribute to, how and where you added the animated logo, both in its current swf form, and its previous form. (Though I can't help but wonder if I shouldn't already have figured that one out myself... *sigh* Oh well...) --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 02:24, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:We're using the [[Wikipedia:SWFObject|SWFObject]] method of adding SWF files to pages, which seems to work well across many browsers while also being compatible with devices with no Flash support. It requires placing <code>swfobject.js</code> on your server in addition to your SWF logo. (Note: we're using [http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ version 1.5], but later versions have been released.) The following quick and dirty edit of <code>MonoBook.php</code> will do the trick (be sure to adjust the paths to point to the correct files). The next time we upgrade MediaWiki, I'll probably fancy it up a little, but for now it's fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

OK. Also, since I already made this one section on your user talkpage, I might as well ask another question that came to mind. The MediaWiki extension that makes a new special page, which can allow someone to view a scrambled version of a specified page, is that available on request? Or is it already in the MediaWiki get extensions list? [[User:LikeLakers2|LikeLakers2]] 23:08, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

== Tentative request ==

Hello, It's dot com! I'd like to apologize in advance for bringing this issue up again, but I have a request regarding the old Fanstuff Wiki files. I hope this doesn't already deter you, I intend to be respectful and cooperative. The old Fanstuff wiki holds a good deal of nostalgia for me, as well as for a few of my friends. The "purged" fanstuff wiki retains some of this nostalgia (thanks for continuing to host that, by the way!) but much of the community discussion and silliness is contained only on the old files. If you even still have the pre-"purge" fanstuff wiki files, then I would be delighted to take them off your hands.

'''Note that I don't intend to start up the H*R Fanstuff Wiki again!''' First because you've expressed that you wish our community distanced from yours, and second because the original Fanstuff Wiki community has since dispersed anyway. I understand that any attempt to resurrect the site would be ill-advised, so I will not do that. I merely intend to sift through old pages which were lost in the purge, for historical and entertainment purposes. I may host it as a private archive on my own website, but if this would bother you then I will not do so. The HRFWiki harbored a lot of my creative efforts in my early teenage years, and I would just like to reflect on that community's golden years. I hope you understand.

Apologies again for the bothering, especially as it seems you've already suffered a great deal of passive-aggressive remarks on the Fanstuff Wiki issues. I apologize for anything I did personally in that way. I don't intend to push the issue but it would mean a great deal to me if you would do this for me. Thank you!

{{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 21:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
:I understand your reservations in responding to such a request. A simple "no" will suffice if that's how you feel. I won't bother you again. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 09:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
::Apologies for the late reply. I've repeatedly stated that those files should be considered gone, sorry. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Oh yes, I remember that policy now. Well, in my view, such a policy is not really necessary any longer, as the reasons and needs to keep these files from the community have since become more or less unnecessary, mainly as the community is practically gone, as is the tension and problems surrounding what originally spurred the purge to happen. I also understand your hesitancy in providing the archive to any old user, so perhaps it's worth noting that I also spent a bit of time acting as a sysop in this community, and in this position I did my best to mitigate conflict and tension, and to keep users abiding by the standards. I understand that you never had much high esteem for the fanstuff portion of this wiki, and probably rightfully so. But it all meant a lot to me, perhaps as much as Homestar Runner itself! It fostered a lot of goofy discussion and fledgling creative efforts, at least it did in its earlier years, much of which did not survive to the archive which is hosted now.
:::Sorry, I guess I'm rambling again! Really I just mean to ask that you'd please reconsider your policy, now that the nasty politics surrounding Fanstuff Wiki issues have dissipated! Speaking for myself, transferring ownership of these forgotten archives to a humble old, reminiscing sysop doesn't seem particularly problematic, and I hope that you can see things this way too. It would really mean a lot to me if you could do this favor for me!
:::Also I understand that further discussion in a public medium may not be especially desirable to you. If you would prefer to discuss this via e-mail you can contact me at pullskip@gmail.com. Also, if there is someone else who would be better for me to talk to at this point, let me know. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 08:28, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
::::Oh, and if feel that you can only offer parts of the files, or can only offer them under my abiding certain conditions, please say so. I also hope I don't sound rude at this point! And I hope it doesn't sound like I'm arguing, or trying to make you upset. I would just be very, very happy if I could revisit a tiny part of my childhood. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 08:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

::: Thanks, are you speaking of the edit conflict that deleted some other thing I wrote (or... meant to write... I swear... dreamed of writing?). I love to see the wiki running at this speed, too! As for new user A: was that meant to mean me and if so B: I found hr in early 2004, I didn't join the wiki until 2 years ago (or become active until a few weeks ago) for reasons I will at some point describe on my user page... some time. Basically, I only considered joining after the hiatus to keep morale up. But here's the thing I think I meant to write: Aaaah- so should I replace — with mdash or just leave everything? Also, there are lots of instances of using em dashes on the wiki where en dashes should be used... should I fix those? If so, should I use (en dash I'm to lazy to copy and paste) or ndash? {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 17:24, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:::: You should just leave them. As far as the reader is concerned, there is no difference between <code>&mdash;</code> and an actual em dash in the code. For that reason alone it's typically not worth the edit to change them. All it's doing is adding another revision to the database with no real gain. On top of all that, as mentioned on the standards talk page, we have reasons for preferring entities over raw characters when it comes to dashes. It's not a big deal with the ones you already changed, but I wouldn't change any more. Where are em dashes being used where en dashes should be? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
::::: Ex: for dates on the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, "Lappy Era: 26 — some other year", I replaced them with en's (not in raw though) in [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Strong_Bad_Email&curid=732&diff=735237&oldid=734947&rcid=697793 this edit]. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 18:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::: I changed them back, even though the en dashes are technically correct. With the spaces on either side of the dashes, I think the en dashes looked too wimpy compared to the em dashes. By the way, I think you might have your terminology backwards: A dash by itself in the code—like this—is what we mean when we say raw. An HTML entity (like <code>&mdash;</code>) is not raw. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
::::::: Do you mean too wimpy in general or just for important headings like in that page (you didn't change the DVD release info 1–200 into em). I wouldn't say I had my terminology backwards, as that would imply that I know what I'm talking about- I kinda just winged it when I saw you using the terms. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 18:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::::: For multiple-word headings with lots of white space. I didn't change the one I didn't change because the en dash is appropriate there. It's in running text, it connects just two things, and there are no spaces. By the way, the appearance of your signature in this thread is a good example of why we discourage non-white backgrounds. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

It's Dot Com, My name is Jeff Daniels, I am looking to create a new account, Broncotroll suggested I see you. I have been active in the wiki as 65.33.23*.*. I would like to bypass the whole email thing, as my parents are VERY strict about what emails I send to who, and they don't like me sending emails to strangers (accept maybe Strong Bad). I have/had a Wikipedia account (Jdaniels15), and my edits are usually limited to typos and misspellings (which thrive in WP). I do not like the visual word varification picture things. Sometimes you can hardly recognize the letters, and when you can they are often the letters that have identical capital and lower-case forms (I.E.: V, C, X, S, O, W, Z). It usually takes me 5-6 tries just to get one right. I also have a khwiki.net account, username Jdaniels15, though my handle is ToaJuaraevo01. This is strictly for simplicirty, as ALL of my accounts have the Jdaniels15 username, with 1 of 3 parsswords for each one.

== Dear Tube Socks, ==

It's me again. I hope you had a good year. Free of athletes' feet and toe jam. :)

If you don't remember me, I'm the user [[User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!|Shadow Scythe]], although you can just call me Nigel. I'm glad to see the Homestar Runner Wiki is still up and being actively edited! I'll always have fond memories of both the website and its userbase. The website may be dead, but the community lives on! :)

The reason I'm writing is because I'm interested in hosting a mirror of the Fanstuff Wiki. I realize that at this point it's no longer linked to on the site, and it's been closed to new edits for nearly three years now. Further, I read on the Donations page that it costs around $50 per month to host this website, and I imagine that a significant portion of that comes from hosting the archived Fanstuff. Myself, I wouldn't mind hosting it, mostly because of its sentimental value to me. However, I also intend to keep an offline copy, with which I'll conduct some research on how a small fanbase changes over time as its userbase grows, shrinks, and ages.

I understand that you're busy with other administrative duties, and certainly other duties in life; as such, I'm prepared to offer you monetary compensation for your time and services, either directly donated to the Wiki, or given to you, whatever you feel is appropriate. I'm prepared to offer $25 immediately but I'm willing to negotiate, if you think it will take a lot of time on your part. If you would rather communicate by e-mail, at pullskip (at) gmail (dot) com! Thank you for your consideration!

:Only three years? I would have thought it was more than that. The fanstuff archive is fine where it is. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:50, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
::I would have thought it was longer too! But [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history these edits] seem to indicate it was closed back in June 2010.
::Anyways, if you're still OK with hosting the Fanstuff for the time being, then that's great! I suppose I was just worried that it might someday disappear if, for instance, it was taking up too much space or was costing a lot to host or something like that, so I figured I might as well offer to mirror it if you didn't want to host it yourself. If that's ever the case in the future, let me know. :)
::Though, even if you don't need it mirrored at this point, would it be possible for me to get a copy of the content, just in case? For that matter, what about the purged content? (If you even still have it.) I understand you had reservations about keeping that offline in the past, although now I'd imagine they'd be obsolete. But I digress.
::In any case, thanks for getting back to me, and keep on tranglin'! — [[User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!|Nigel]] 06:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

== Wassup ==

Have you seen the new episodes of Arrested Development on Netflix? I remember you being a big fan. {{User:JCM/sig}} 19:45, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

== Greetings ==

I miss chatting with you. It's been YEARS. Wish I would go back to 2010 when there was still hope. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 20:14, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

== Recent vandals? ==

Here's the thing. I went to check recent changes (like most do) and I saw one lone anonnym'n making a ton of pointless pages. Though yes, it does says you deleted them, so I bet you noticed, but do you have any clue what's going on? He was dang stubborn, so I have a small worry on this. And if you didn't delete those pages, I will freak out more then Marzipan encountering the Cheat with Terminal 7 Brain Cnacer with Rank tooty-two billion rabies. --[[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] 16:39, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
:I think maybe you should keep your pants on. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:05, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
::[[Not the 100th Email!!!|...What pants? Hmmmm...]] But really, in all seriousness, I feel paranoid when some vandal is that presistant. It just never ceases to spook me. Nothing is scarier. [[Seriously]]. Not even that bad creepypasta. In fact, those are lame, but that's another story. I am just paranoid, so feel free to leave a talk page message if you have any updates. --[[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] 19:08, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
:::That vandal was nothing. A mere fly to be swatted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:22, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

== way2spooky4homestar ==

I like this cool Halloween design for the wiki, yo. --[[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] 21:31, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

== I'm leaving ==

I have made the decision to leave the HRWiki. Would you be able to please delete all my subpages and all but the most recent revisions of my userpage, my sig page and my talk page? I want ALL of it gone. [[User:Dagoth|Dagoth]] 11:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
:Fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:55, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

== Happy late new year ==

And did you get what you wanted for Decemberween? One last thing, though, am I the only one other then the wiki members here that noticed the store update? [[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] 16:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
:I did. As for the store update, I didn't take a poll (of everyone in the world). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

== The Forum ==

Hey man. Douglas from the forum here. I've tried to get the admins' attention through there, but no dice. Listen, I'd love to have the chance to get in there and clean it up - I used to love posting there back when Off-Subject was open pre-2008. I check at least once a week to see if there's been any admin activity, but I don't really see any... since it looks like most of the administration there has given up on the place, would it be conceivable to give a regular user admin privileges? I'd be willing to take that on. I'd just really like to clean it up and see if I can breathe some sort of life back into the place. Let me know what you think. --Douglas
:We've cleaned up most that we found. We've made ourselves a note to check on it a little more frequently. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:29, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

== A History ==
Hey It's dot com, I was looking at [[HRWiki:A History]] and noticed the content was a bit old and figured you'd be just the chap to update it with server moves and wiki versions and such. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:16, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

== How to request a username ==

How do you request a username? [[Special:Contributions/107.77.68.28|107.77.68.28]] 23:43, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
:*'''To register, choose a username and send it in an email to [mailto:admin@hrwiki.org admin@hrwiki.org]'''.
:*Avoid usernames that are offensive, inflammatory, or confusing.
:*Pick a readable name, not just a number.
:*Avoid choosing a username that is identical to the name of a Homestar Runner character, toon, place, etc.
:*Note that your choice may be rejected if it is too close to an existing user's username.

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

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

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

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

Do you want to become the [[lady...ing|ramblin' wreck of RC check]]? Then feel free to join one of [[HRW:IRC|our IRC channels]], #hrwiki-RC, where recent changes made to the wiki will appear live.
