''Blue hair, anyone? Stinkoman's always got fightings and challenges to keep him busy. Jump and shoot your way to all ends of Planet K. End Boss feature!!'' --[[Videlectrix]] description

'''Stinkoman 20X6''' is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars [[Stinkoman]]. This game is based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. It also parodies the [[Wikipedia:Engrish|poor "Japanese to English" translations]] common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current Games Menu]].

[[The Brothers Chaps]] demonstrated the game at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|their talk at NYU]] before it was released.

== Easter Eggs ==
* Hover your mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the [[Stinkomanual]].
** When you click it, "loading manuél" appears briefly.
* Wait long enough at the title screen to see an [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough#Transcript|intro cinematic]].
* Stay still long enough and Stinkoman will yawn.
** On the Level 4 stages, after yawning Stinkoman will rest against his giant fist.
** On the Level 5 stages, [[1-Up]] will fall asleep and blow a [http://tvwiki.sytes.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SnotBubble snot bubble].
** On the Level 7 stages, Stinkoman will shiver and eventually freeze (this costs you one unit of energy.)

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
* This is the first time we have seen [[Stinkoman Headquarters|Stinkoman's House]]. (Or any 20X6 character's house, for that matter).
*In the "Game Over" screen, Stinkoman has a green tongue, just like Strong Bad in [[Super NES]], although it's red or pink all other times that it is seen in the game — though the green tongue may be due to the fact that his "stummy hurts."
**Just as well, 1-Up's "Game Over screen" has him standing with the caption "My tongue is green..."
**The Level -0 "Game Over screen" has a glitched up sprite of Stinkoman and 1-Up with the caption "Sorry, Hamburger."
**The Level 9 "Game Over screen" is like the normal screen, only it includes a destroyed Stinkowing with the caption "Our stummies hurts..."
* In the bottom right-hand corner of the PLAY GAME! screen it says "V7.1 EPISODES 1-9".
** It said "V6.0 EPISODES 1-8" until September 5, 2005, when the ninth level was added.
** It said "V5.0 EPISODES 1-7" until August 1, 2005, when the eighth level was added.
** It said "V4.0 EPISODES 1-6" until July 4, 2005, when the seventh level was added.
** It said "V3.0 EPISODES 1-5 THUS FAR" until May 16, 2005, when the sixth level was added.
** It said "V2.0 EPISODES 1-4" until May 9, 2005, when the fifth level was added.
** It said "V1.X EPISODES 1-3" until April 26, 2005, when the fourth level was added.
* This game used to lack the gray navbar at the bottom of the screen to move to other parts of the website. But when Level 4 was added the links were added also.
* The quality of the music in Level 7 onward is higher than the other ones, resulting in sharper sound.
* In versions 4 (and below), the Flash 7 Warning in the bottom left corner read "FLASH PLAYER 7 REQUIRED". In version 5, it read "FLASH 7 VERY REQUIRED". In version 6, it read "FLASH 7 REQUIRED, 8 IS COOL TOO". In version 7, it reads "FLASH 7 OR HIRE REQUIRED".
* In the beginning of level 6, in the cutscene when Stinkoman is playing the game the music is the same as the moon level. When he gets Game Over it is also the same music you get when it's Game Over. He might be playing Stinkoman 20X6!
*When world 8/-0 was first released, the Poorbt at the beginning of level -0.1 came from the right side of the screen. It now comes from the left.
*The Level 8/-0 "MORE LEVELS TO COME" screen has/had a glitched screen, with a miscolored Stinkoman, and the bronze Pan Pan from the intro, with the caption reading "MORE LEVLS TO C OME". A piece of the music would loop like a broken record until the page eventually refreshed.
[[Image:Stinkoman 20X6 MORE LEVLS TO C OME.PNG|thumb|Glitch'D!]]
*The Level 9 "MORE LEVELS TO COME" screen had the picture from the "TRY LEVEL 9.X" screen, with the caption reading "LAST LEVEL TO COME!"
*Version 7 enabled the menus to be navigated with either the mouse or keyboard.
*When version 7 was released, Stinkoman's punches changed from the usual pattern. They used to fly forwards a small bit, while falling slightly, and then disappear. However, it seems they now have much the same traits as the lasers the ship fires, heading almost straight forward without any hindrance.
**Because of this, you can kill the Greggo at the beginning of 1.2 by shooting repeatedly as you fall into the level.
*The "No Flash 7" warning box reads;
<pre>
FLASH PLAYER 7
IS REQUIRED
TO PLAY STINKOMAN 20X6

THIS THING SAYS YOU DON'T HAS</pre>
*When level 9 was first released, your number of shields would remain constant after losing a life. This meant that you could hoard shields if you had lives to spare, or that you could use up all your shields on one life and have none on the next. This has since been changed: after losing a life, your shield count always resets to 3.
*When level 9 was first released, the level selection screen for level 9 said levels -0.1/-0.2.

=== Remarks ===
* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[Hip Hop Dance]].
*On Levels 4.1 and 4.2, Stinkoman can actually fall down in certain spots to join 1-Up, but you will eventually lose because there will be no one to jump on the tiles.
*1-Up jumps higher than Stinkoman. This may be due to the fact that 1-Up's level is on [[The Moon|the moon]].
* To get capsules that are hiding behind enemies without having to kill the enemy, run into the enemy with health to spare. You will take damage, grab the crunch and will be invincible long enough to escape unharmed.
*The head of the [[Shadowy Figure|silhouette]] at the end of Levels 5 and 6 and beginning of 7 and -0 appears to match the head of [[20X6 Coach Z]] in the Games menu.
*Stinkoman "breaks the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]]" by saying (in Level 5) "No way! I helped you in Level 4!"
**He does it again at the end of Level -0 by saying that 1-Up and [[Pan Pan]] "are on Level 10."
*1-Up is slower at climbing ladders than Stinkoman is, perhaps due to his lack of visible arms.
*The meteors in Level 5 cause the game to lag for a split second when they crash. This may be done on purpose to emulate how easy it is to put stress on older game systems.
*This is the first new game not to use some sort of scoring system.
*In Episode 4, when Stinkoman is facing to the right, his giant fist powerup is a left hand but when he turns around the fingers are still facing the player so it turns into a right hand. This "sprite mirroring" is common in older games to conserve memory. A notable exception is Metroid, in which Samus is always left handed.
*When 1-Up falls into the fiery lava below (usually when a platform is not in the right position), the screen pans to the right for a little bit before losing the life. Is 1-Up still walking down there?
*The 1-Up sprites in Level 4 are slightly different from the ones in Level 5 — they were not reused, as the Stinkoman ones are.
*There are three kinds of ladders used in the game: Ladders with small rungs (1.1, 1.2, 5.2), ladders with large rungs (2.1, 2.2, 5.1, 6.1), and ladders with duck rungs (-0.1, -0.2).
*If you type in the URL for volume 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, for a split second the page title will say "Old Stinkoman Game Page R.I.P." then it will take you to the current one.
*The sound made when collecting a capsule or an extra life is the same as cracking a Bitzar.
*In Level 2.3, if you listen closely, when Brody tries to peck you, you can hear him shriek. Also, Ekersby shrieks when he raises his arms.
*The background music of the cutscene of level 1.1 is the same as the music in the background of the level 3.1 cutscene.
*It is possible to get a ton of extra lives in level -0.2 Since there are two extra lives available, once you get both, you can die and start over, gaining one more for each time.
*All of the voice clips in the game have been taken from previous 20X6 'toons and sped up. ("20X6!"; "Are you asking for a challenge?"; Stinkoman's victory laugh; "I wanna be the guy too!")
*Sackastanos and Semulades sport visors which are edited Browntant visors.
*Level 9 looks suspiciously like it was going to be an underwater level.

=== Goofs ===
*Manual inconsistencies:
**Kolkaryu is listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.
**Old Sage is listed under level 2, but Old Sages already appear in level 1.
**Level 3 is called "Dumb Wall" on the level select screen, but it's called "Up 'n Down" in the instruction manual.
**In Level 1 in the manual, the original version said "face treats" instead of "fave treats."
**Level 3 is the only part to have its title constantly on the top of the page. All of the other Levels' titles disappear after the first page.
**When v4 (Level 6) and v5 (Level 7) were first put up, The Brothers Chaps forgot to update the [[Stinkomanual]] to include Level 6. This was fixed, but the release of version 5 seemingly broke it again. Later in the day, the level 6 section was replaced, the level 7 section was added.
[[Image:level1.jpg|thumb|Level 1 or Level 1.1? ]]
*In the Videlectrix catalogue, if you click Stinkoman 20X6, a screenshot of the game will appear. In the bottom right corner, it says "Level 1" and not "Level 1.1".
*Any damage you took as Stinkoman in levels 3 and 4 will remain on 1-Up in level 5, even though they're not the same person.
**Similarly, any damage you took as 1-Up in Level 5 will remain on Stinkoman when you progress to level 6.
*The two Pooru-Poorus at either end of Stlunko seem to be hovering above the ground.
*When you fall off the conveyor belt on Stlunko and stand on the ground below the belt, you'll still be carried along with it. (However, once you jump or are hit by one of the Pooru-Poorus, you appear back on the conveyor belt.)
*When Stinkoman wears his giant fist, it is slightly larger than when Stlunko has it.
*Before level 4, 1-UP says he is taking a short cut. Before level 5, they are back at Stinkoman Headquarters. The "short cut" didn't go anywhere!
*In levels 4.1 and 4.2, if Stinkoman walks directly beneath the lavafall and then hits the ground with the rock fist, he apparently deflects the lava with his head.
*In the "Level Select" screen, levels 9.1 and 9.2 were listed as -0.1 and -0.2. This was fixed later in the day.
* Stinkoman's tongue has lines after beating lv. 9.3.


=== Glitches ===
[[Image:stinkogame slow.png|thumb|Glitch for Flash 6 and under.]]
*When the game was first released, you could skip (press space or click) the first part of the final movie (any part before the MORE LEVELS TO COME SCENE) to enter stage 3.4. It was the Stlunko arena without Stlunko: a slightly elevated platform above the ground with two Pooru-Poorus on either side. You could continue traveling rightwards into a barren land before reaching an endless cliff.
**This glitch is now fixed. However, if you play the swf you can still play 3.4.
**This again happened in level 4 when it was first released. However, this glitch has been fixed as well.
***Also, if you die once on level 4.4 there will be no ground when you return.
* If you fall long enough and don't touch anything, Stinkoman will stop doing his falling pose and act like he's standing and will even start to yawn. Such a long fall can be found in stage 2.2, 6.1, and 6.2.
[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|Stinkoman stands on air!]]
* If you die with only one life left after defeating a boss, the usual "die" sequence will happen, but then Stinkoman will do his victory dance with no ground beneath him and you will start the next stage with no lives, which will increase by one life and the "Game Over" screen will appear the next time he dies in the next stage.
* Sometimes you can start up a new game and it will be nothing but Stinkoman and the background. Since there's no ground, you can only fall and die. This may be linked to older versions of Flash.
** A possible reason that this happens is because earlier versions of Flash may not be able to read the levelData xml files.
*When Stinkoman is about to yawn, his sprite character moves down one pixel.
[[Image:stinkogame-level22-terrell-glitch.png|thumb|Stuck Terrell on level 2.2]]
*In the beginning of level 2.2, there's a Terrell just behind a stove. It seems that it's possible for the Terrell to get "stuck" just to the right of the stove. It will continue to hop up and down (without moving horizontally at all), and Stinkoman can pass through the Terrell without becoming injured. It also becomes impossible to kill.
**Another Terrell (the one above the second burner) on Level 2.1 can get stuck, also.
*In level 1.1, if you don't kill the Jaro by the first wall and instead just go past it and the wall under the second browntant, the Jaro may be jumping in mid-air.
**It can even jump through the wall.
*If you use a seek bar, then it is possible to access level Undefined.Undefined. This level is just a grey hole, which Stinkoman is doomed to fall down. Stinkoman's Life Number is always either 8, or not there. Regardless, after he falls down once, the game over screen appears. It is just like a boss arena - the music is from the boss levels, and Stinkoman even shouts "Are you asking for a challenge?" as you enter. The items counter is also shown, as it is in level 3.1.
*In Levels 4.1 and 4.2, if a and s are pressed at the same time as you're falling into the level from the left, Stinkoman will float instead of walk.
[[Image:PinkChamCham.jpg|thumb|A Pink Cham Cham firing only the left laser]]
*In level 4.2, if you approach a Pink Cham Cham from the left and see only the left side of it as it fires, when you approach towards the right to see the rest of it, it will only have fired the laser on the left side.
**This may also happen in level -0.1 or -0.2.
*If you die at the beginning of 5.2 before the ship at the top flies by, it will fly by on the Keep Try screen.
**This also happens on level 5.1.
*If you kill a boss, but die by one of its shots, the "Game Over screen" appears, but the cutscene appears afterwards and you continue with one life gone and will have no energy the next level.
*A Jaro on one of the conveyor belts on level 5.1 can go behind the wall.
*On level 6.2, after the second Protek, on the bottom level, you go on a series of moving white solid clouds. After killing a Jaro, you have to time yourself to fall through an evaporating cloud to land on another white solid. If you're on the evaporating cloud, and you move to the left, you'll be stuck falling in place on the wall. You can't jump, only move left and right and fire.
*If you die in level 4.1 or 4.2 by a Poorbt or by falling in the lava, 1-Up keeps walking. If he hits an enemy or a lava-fall before the level restarts, he will die too, and you'll lose 2 lives.
*In Level 7.1, in around the middle of the level, you can get caught between a wall and an ice platform. Shooting, running and jumping cannot move you; yet jumping towards either side will cause Stinkoman will keep flipping for as long as you hold the arrow keys.
*In Level 7.1 or 7.2, you will not freeze if you stay on a ladder.
*In Level 7.1 or 7.2, you will not freeze if you hold the up or down button.
*In Level 7.1 or 7.2, if you don't move at all after freezing, you won't freeze again.
*Playing around with a seek bar with Level 7.1 already loaded can allow you to find a spot with every song from every level playing at once.
*Fooling with a seek bar towards the beginning of the Flash file allows you to also find an object library of sorts.
*Sometimes, losing a life in 1.3 will result in Stinkoman returning to the level without ground, causing him to fall to his death. This is also reported to happen in 2.3.
*When version 6 was first released, Level -0 always appeared in the top slot in the CONTINUTE menu even if you scrolled through the levels. This was fixed later in the day.
*In the Flash file, if you right click and press forward and play, you get the game over screen but the level music will still play.
**If you do this on 3.2, bread, apples, and the other stuff from that level will come up in the next level.
* Do the same glitch above, although in lv. 3.1, now go to any lv. Touch the Clowder, you should not get hit.
*If you press A immediately at the very beginning of a level where Stinkoman starts in the air, Stinkoman will look like he is walking on ground for a moment, and he will then jump in the air.
*On the day of version 7's release, beating Ekersby would take you to level -0.4 (a completely blank screen, where Stinkoman constantly falls to his death), instead of 9.1 as would be expected. This was fixed later in the day.

=== Inside References ===
* "Check out my new gameplay!" is a reference to Stinkoman's quote "Check out my new cosplay!" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].

* The health-restoring pills are a reference to the capsule containing the "power crunch" from the Strong Bad Email [[time capsule]].
**They are also a reference to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]], where you can get similar capsules to change your ship.
* Grundy's illustration in the manual shows him running in a manner similar to [[Homestar Runner]].
* Stlunko, the level 3 boss, bears a striking resemblance to the [[Visor Robot]].
*The Rose Blake's description in the manual as a "'Lectric burner" is a reference to the email [[extra plug]], where Strong Bad gets [['Lectric Boots]].
*The line "blast em up [[Dan]]!" is an adaptation of "fry 'em up, Dan!" from [[TROGDOR!]]
*The sentence in the manual, "Falling from the skies and bove", references [[Decemberween Kids' Book]].
*The stobats in Level 2 blow up like the ducks in [[Duck Guardian]] after being hit with the hatch ray.
*1-Up saying "I'm going this way!" is a reference to [[Meet Marshie]].
*1 Up in the level 5 cut scene says "Mooooooon" just like a soy drunken Strong Bad did in [[personal favorites]] and in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] when Strong Bad says, "We're takin' this baby to da MOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
*When 1-Up defeats [[Nebulon]], he says no one likes his style, just like Strong Bad did in [[New Boots]].
*1-Up saying that he's just a kid, and maybe when he's older is a reference to [[japanese cartoon]].
*The ship that flies by at the beginning of 5.1 and 5.2 is featured twice in "japanese cartoon" that was originally intended to be the 20X6 version of [[20X6 The Cheat|The Cheat]].
*The background in Level 5 looks like the third background in the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games menu]].

*Reids greatly resemble Gaspeaus and Frotzers.

=== Real-World References ===
*The game controller Stinkoman is holding in the cutscene for level 5.1, bears a striking resemblance to the [http://www.gamerzuniverse.net/nintendo/imagesnes/dogbone.jpg redesigned NES controller] (AKA the dogbone controller).
*There are many references to the ''Mega Man'' game series:
** The sprites used for Stinkoman are patterned after 8-bit ''Mega Man'' sprites, and the same applies to the enemy Poorbt and Astromund.
*** In fact, the poses of the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] in the logo are taken directly from the NES ''Mega Man'' series.
** The sounds of the text appearing in the cinematics are also the same as in ''Mega Man''.
***The chime noise for the main menu is taken from the first ''Mega Man X'' game.
** In ''Mega Man V'', there is a chicken robot similar to the chickens encountered in level 2.
** When Stinkoman says that the large gray fist could be a new powerup and takes off with it, this is an obvious reference to Mega Man taking the power of defeated bosses.
** At the start of the first side-scrolling stage the little theme played is very similar to the old ''Mega Man'' starting theme. In fact, the whole soundtrack was probably meant to sound like ''Mega Man'' game music.
** Stinkoman being unable to clear the wall using his normal jump is also a joke from ''Mega Man''.
** When all three characters flash onto the screen during the intro, that is also a ''Mega Man'' reference, where in one of the arcade games (namely ''Mega Man: The Power Battle'') Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass would flash onto the screen in a similar way.
**The spikes that can kill Stinkoman instantly (Old Sage) are a reference to similar spikes which were placed under moving platforms in Mega Man games and which would also kill Mega Man instantly.
** The dropping platforms are a reference to the original ''Mega Man'', in which similar platforms were found in Guts Man's stage.
** Only three of Stinkoman's flying fists can be on the screen at the same time. In the ''Mega Man'' series, Mega Man's Mega Buster shots also suffer from the same drawbacks. Even in Level 4, Stinkoman can only drop three clusters of rocks onscreen when pounding his giant fist.
***Early sprite-based video games suffered this fate as well. Limiting the number of sprites on screen prevented slow down.
** Greggos are similar to Metalls (also known as Mettaurs, Metools, Mets, or Hard Hats), who were also invincible while ducking.
** Stinkoman fights like Mega Man X by shooting at enemies while 1-Up fights like Zero with acrobatic melee attacks.
** The Bendini Sisters that fall on level 5 are similar to the meteorites that fall in Star Man's stage in Mega Man 5 for the NES.
*In one portion of level 5.2, if you jump off of the top of a platform, you will see a planet that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of "Chrono Trigger".
* Stinkoman's becoming bored when idle is an old gag first found in the old PC game ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', later emulated in ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and countless other titles.
* Right after Tampo blows up in the cinematic, you can hear the same sound that is played in Metroid when Samus phases in.
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the 404 error that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* Stlunko is one of many, many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]] series, examples being Bongo-Bongo from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], Gohdan from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] and Mazaal from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]].
* Hold B is a reference to ''Super Mario Bros.'' and a few other Nintendo games in which if you held down B, you would run faster or power up your weapon. In this game, holding S (which is like a B button) allows you to rapid fire. In Megaman, this would allow you charge up your shot for a more powerful hit.
* Stinkoman doing a forward flip is a reference to characters such as Samus Aran and Duke Nukem, whose over-the-top flips served little or no in game purpose.
** However, it does allow Stinkoman to jump a small distance further.
* The fade-in is a reference to NES games that had large images in the background fade in. Because the NES did not have many colors to choose from, there would be weird color glitches with some games when they'd have something fade in.
* The first boss, Tampo, is similiar to the final boss of ''Star Fox 64'', which was the giant, floating brain of Andross, which had the same weak point (medulla).
* The manual mentioning this game has no "weepy princess crap" is a reference to the Super Mario series, the Legend of Zelda series, and a few other games where you had to rescue a helpless princess.
** Likewise, Pan Pan being kidnapped references the countless games which featured a random character being kidnapped, such as in Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman on the box art is likely a reference to the first and second ''Mega Man'' games, where the original American version of the game's box art had a big, muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game. It could also be a reference to [[time capsule]] where Stinko Man got huge muscles from eating a power crunch.
**This problem wasn't exclusive to the Megaman series. Almost every game localized for the U.S had new box art made for it. This continued right up till the days of the SNES.
*The pose with the large fist is a direct reference to the old NES game Battletoads.
*There are a vast number of seemingly unexplainable appearances of letter P in NES-era games. Ranging from P-switches, P-wings, P-gauges etc. in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', to the Arm Cannon/Mega Buster character designation in ''Mega Man 2''. This may explain the collectible Ps in level 3.
**P most likely stands for "power" in these games.
*Jaro's explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''Rad Gravity'' for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Saargtsson is most likely a reference to [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm] from ''The Legend of Zelda'' video games, who was almost exactly the same in terms of appearance, and having a weakness in its tail.
**This is more accurately a combination of Moldorm and [http://www.flyingomelette.com/kidicarus/kidicarusenemies.html Hewdraw] from ''Kid Icarus''.
*1-Up's spin kick bears a resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick), which Homestar uses in [[dangeresque 3]].
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
*The fact that Gaspeau (red) and Frotzer (blue) are almost the same exact enemies may be a reference to the old Zelda games where an enemy could be red or blue and that the blue version of the enemy was always harder. In fact, many game have used the method of recoloring an enemy to represent a harder version.
**This was common practice among sprite-based games. To get the most use out of the graphics ROMs, designers would re-use game graphics by drawing them with any of several palettes. An object drawn with a different palette from the same graphic looks identical to the original except for its colors, like Gaspeau and Frotzer, or like the normal Browntant and the blue variant on Level 6.
*The "pink cloud zone" in level 6 could be a reference to countless video games with cloud zones, but is most likely to [[Wikipedia:Earthbound|Earthbound]], where the sixth Your Sanctuary location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
*Firey-Hot is a lot like the fire coming out of the cannons in the airship levels on Super Mario Bros. 3.
*Level four is a reference to many such levels in classic period games, (now often called "protect-the-idiot levels"), in which a character would keep walking with no A.I. at all—right towards all sorts of enemies and such traps! Many gamers became annoyed with this, as it would be hard to protect this weakling, and if it died, they died. This design is still used frequently today.
*My Benj is similar to the Bit enemies in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
*The Old Sages on the moon look mysteriously like the spikes on the moon in Super Mario Land 2.
*Fullbide's drawing in the "manuel" resembles the shield attacker enemy from various Mega Man games.
*The [[Shadowy Figure|mysterious character]] in the cutscene before level 7.1 is a reference to the evil boss [[:Image:ashtar.png|Ashtar]] from the Nintendo game Ninja Gaiden II, who appears in a silhouette from behind in the [http://www.gamespot.com/nes/action/ninjagaiden2thedarksoc/media.html cutscene] at the beginning of the game, laughs maniacally, and is surrounded by lightning.
*Level -0 (Negatory) is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]] level found in the original ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' game, which was a glitch that could be found by walking through a wall in level 1-2.
*Stinkoman blasting the wall away in level -0 is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]] where a similar attack called the [[Wikipedia:Kamehameha Wave|"Kamehameha Wave"]] is used. It even looks the same when Stinkoman charges it up.
*Negatory is [[Wikipedia:Citizens%27_band_radio|Citizens' Band Radio]] (CB) [http://www.cbgazette.com/slang.html slang] for no or negative.
*[http://www.protekdevices.com/aboutProtek00.htm Protek] is a Tempe, AZ based company specializing in Transient Voltage Suppression products. This may explain why the Protek enemy is an electric outlet.
* Tampo moves in a similar way to that of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong_Country_2:_Diddy%27s_Kong_Quest Krow,] the first boss in Donkey Kong Country 2.
*In the cutscene after 6.3, Liekand is defeated and shows that it was a rat after all. This may be a reference to the Sega Genesis game Sonic the Hedgehog, where defeated enemies revealed that they were once an animal.
**The mouse looks amazingly like Mouser, the first and sixth boss of Doki Doki Panic, or Super Mario Bros. 2.
***In the same game, the level 4 boss was a flame wearing sunglasses called "Fryguy", which resembles the Leikand.
* The text "PI...PI...PI..." in the cutscene at the end of level 9.2 refers to [[:Image:bionic_commando.png|messages spoken by robots]] in the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game [[Wikipedia:Bionic Commando|Bionic Commando]].
**It also might be a reference to Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, where one of the secret bosses was a Roboster, that, after a few battles, would say the same thing.
**More likely it is a direct translation of Japanese "robot sounds"... the robots in Chrono Cross and a few other games also say similar things.
* The flying ship levels are strikingly similar in context to ''Operation Neptune'', a submarine/math program devised by The Learning Company. That game also involved sea-like creatures moving in an erratic fashion.
* They are also similar to the NES game Gradius.
*The fact that the main villain sends out aquatic-esque robots echoes the second to last level of Sonic Heroes

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Fun facts */ heh... that was me

*Darn! I just spent an hour transcribing the toon to find someone'd already done it! Is there some procedure for calling dibs on it? Also, I know that I contributed both the cast of characters and the easter egg, yet I do not see my edit listed in the history. What gives? -- [[User:FireLily|FireLily]]
**I can't comment on the second part, but it's normal to post in the transcription section saying that it's in progress. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 04:58, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
**Your edit is on the page [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homestar_presents:_Presents&redirect=no Homestar presents: Presents]. I made a template on this page ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]] - note correct capitalization) and posted that the transcript was in progress at around 1:40 EST. After I'd finished the entire page (picture, cast list, transcript, fun facts, and easter eggs), I noticed the other page with the incorrect capitalization. Since all it had was a cast list, the lone easter egg, and a couple of Fun Facts that I didn't have, I took the Fun Facts that weren't already on my page and moved them there, then deleted the rest of that page and changed it to a redirect to this page. -- [[User:Forteblast|Forteblast]] 10:05, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
***That's all well and good, but you did use my text in the easter egg (at least in the italic scene description), unless somehow we had the exact same wording (which I doubt). As petty as it may seem, I'd like credit for it in some way. It's a little annoying to put work into something and have someone else delete it. -- [[User:FireLily|FireLily]]
*Could Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone be a refrence to the film The Waterboy? There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged.. and he's wearing high heels.
**Maybe. Why don't you post it on the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page? [[User:Forteblast|Forteblast]] 10:05, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
**It could also be a reference to replacement and that one toon where in swf you can see something unplugged in Marzipan's house.

== Snowfall sound ==

We've heard the snowfall sound before. Where? It's not from sweet cuppin' cakes that I can figure, and I went through all 22 main pages looking for a reference that would trigger my memory. Anybody remember? [[User:spblat|spblat]] 17:48, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)

Ah yes. It's Homsar walking. [[User:spblat|spblat]]

Oh. Uh, um. No it's not. Sorry guys. [[User:spblat|spblat]]

:I talk to myself too. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

== Fun facts ==

Is it just me or do the fun facts on this page need to be cut by about 75%? Most of them really don't seem to be "fun" enough... --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 00:53, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)
:It almost ALWAYS seems like that, but frankly some of them are still notable, if not "fun". Unless it's obviously wrong, already mentioned or just way way too vague, why do we get so paranoid about them? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:37, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

 
::''Homsar's paintbrush rings like a bell.'' '''Duh.''' 
::''Strong Bad's Grabbo Arm makes the same noises as Homestar's tricked-out propeller cap in car./The dripping during Strong Sad's scene is the same sound used in Main Page 14.'' '''All the sounds on the site are recycled. So what?''' 
::''Apparently Free Country, USA has a wharf, although Strong Bad didn't know this either, despite him appearing in a boat in both lures & jigs and montage.'' '''This needs rewriting... maybe ''Strong Bad didn't know Free Country USA had a wharf, even though he has appeared in a boat in [[lures & jigs]] and [[montage]].'' The first part of this fun fact is just repeating the end joke.''' 
::''Homsar quote of "You're a real state trooper" may be a commonly mistaken lyric from "Straight Shooter" by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric says "You're a real straight shooter"/It could also be a parody on the phrase, "You're a real trooper", a phrase which usually means, "You're pretty tough!"'' '''Or, more likely, it is Homsar being stupid and random again.''' 
::''When we see Homestar's clock in the beginning of the toon at 9:59, and then it turns to 10:00, that looks a little like the way they show Phil Connors's clock repeatedly turning from 5:59 to 6:00 in the movie Groundhog Day.'' '''Seriously. A lot of clocks look like that. Probably not a reference.''' 
::''It is a little odd that Homestar runs out of the house naked, considering that he had a shirt on when he woke up.'' '''Yeah, that's the joke, "Naked somehow"...''' 
::''Both Homestar and Strong Bad imply Homestar has slept through Decemberween before, but Bubs and Marzipan do not recognize that it has.'' '''Huh? Homestar impies that? Where? If this is worth keeping, it needs serious rewording...'''

Probably the second most updated feature on the site, the Quote of the Week (or Day or Month) is a soundbyte from one of the week's toons that you can download. (The dates on some of these are just guessed from the file-modified date. Assume they're approximate. Fix them if you know different.)

''NOTE:'' If you know the download filename or original post date for any of the files below for which said details are absent, please fill them in below.

''As of the November 22nd quote, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.'' 
''Also, the quotes are now transcribed and saving the [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/qod1122.swf flash file] will not produce desired results. Look [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/hs_word_style.png here].''

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Fun Facts */ did yet more re-wording

[[Image:sbemail70.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad gets cake'd]]

'''Strong Bad Email #70'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad why he is so mean to the guy with the big white face and grey body.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Poopsmith]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser. ''{The cartoon changes so it looks like we're on the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." We see Strong Sad standing out in the field.}'' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh...cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, "Another while later..." we cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of whats-it. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh...I'm--I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food, grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.

== Fun Facts ==
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086 Intel 8086], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel.

'''Strong Bad Email #70'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad why he is so mean to the guy with the big white face and grey body.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Poopsmith]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser. ''{The cartoon changes so it looks like we're on the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." We see Strong Sad standing out in the field.}'' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh...cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, "Another while later..." we cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of whats-it. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh...I'm--I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food, grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.

== Fun Facts ==
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086 8086], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel.

Quote of the Week

Nerdular Nerdence: link broken stuff

[[Image:Quote_Of_Week_Box_Design.PNG|thumb|The Old And The New]]

Probably the second most updated feature on the site, the Quote of the Week (or Day or Month) is a soundbyte from one of the week's toons that you can download. (The dates on some of these are just guessed from the file-modified date. Assume they're approximate. Fix them if you know different.)

''NOTE:'' If you know the download filename or original post date for any of the files below for which said details are absent, please fill them in below.

''As of the November 22nd quote, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.'' 
''Also, the quotes are now transcribed and saving the [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/qod1122.swf flash file] will not produce desired results. Look [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/hs_word_style.png here].'' 
''As of the July 29th quote, the download option is only available as a .zip file.''

Nerdular Nerdence: Made new page.

Hi.

I provide the voice of Nerdiness on this wiki. Whenever I catch someone saying something incorrect about something technology related, I throw a small fit and then correct whatever article they broke.

==Currently Working On:==
[[Homestar Runner RPG]]

==Recent corrections:==
[[big white face]]: someone decided that the 8086 wasn't a 16-bit processor. Provided link to wikipedia for proof. Pfft. Study before you assume, people, the 8086 was not Intel's first processor (though it was their first 16-bit processor)

big white face

Nerdular Nerdence — Fri, 10 Dec 2004 07:35:38 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence: Re-corrected: The 8086 was 16-bit, the first one by Intel in fact. It wasn't one of the first made though, it was preceded by the 8080 and 8085, which _were_ 8-bit.

''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser. ''{The cartoon changes so it looks like we're on the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." We see Strong Sad standing out in the field.}'' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, "Another while later..." we cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of whats-it. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

''{Strong Bad walks off, [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food, grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.

== Fun Facts ==
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086 8086], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Technically, all x86 processors are preceded by 80 (e.g. 80286, 80386), but the 80 was dropped from common terminology after the 8086.
*The Macintosh System Software 6 or earlier (or any Macintosh OS as of now) is incapable of running on the 386 processor, or any other x86 processor, and no Macintosh Classic computers had a command line such as Strong Bad's.
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!"
*However, the second cake (when not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper", a reference to e-mail 68, [[caper]].
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.
*Strong Bad's opening saying is strongly borrowed from during Strong Bad's outburst in [[funny]] at Strong Sad.
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter Eggs are still viewable using either the angle button on your DVD remote or pressing down to find the bad graphics Strong Bad at the end of the email.

Nerdular Nerdence: Added link to allow me to add page

Hi.

I don't actually do much on the wiki, but I mostly wanted any reference to my username to be blue instead of red.

That's about it.

Nerdular Nerdence: /* JPEG versus PNG */ More comments.

== Reporting defacement ==

Hi there. I just wanted thank you for fixing the defacement of the [[Main Page]]. However, in the future please make sure to report the defacement on the [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:06, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Thought about it, would have done it if the defacement were repeated. I will report in the future, though. From the edit logs, it looked as though there was a possibility they had just accidentally messed up the formatting then didn't know how to revert and ''then'' started messing things up. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 16:13, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

== JPEG versus PNG ==

Thanks for your willingness to upload the images for the '02 Dec 2004' Weekly Fanstuff and Weekly Sketchbook. It is much appreciated but I had just one request for future uploads - Could you save the file(s) using a Portable Network Graphic file format? You're probably on to something with the reduced file size (approximately 10KB versus ~30KB) but I think the image quality suffers a bit. It seems that the PNG files have worked well in the past and if you want to continute using JPEG files that would still be ok. - Thanks! --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 20:14, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

Hi... on my computer the difference between PNG and JPEG was 80kb. Of course, this was in MS-Paint, so the PNG compession probably wasn't ideal... I thought the image quality was fine in JPEG, but PNG is lossless, so if you can get a PNG down to 30k it's probably fine. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 23:36, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

[[image: weekly_fanstuff_12-2-2004.JPG]] JPEG: 11730 bytes
vs
[[image: fanstuff_ss_meringues.PNG]] PNG: 60304 bytes.
True, I have DSL now, but I've been there and I know how much difference that can make on dial-up. I don't think the quality difference is enough, personally. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 23:42, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

BTW: Some technical information, PNG is a format designed to compress graphics with primarily flat colors and simple gradients. Photos (such as this one) will get better compression with JPEG because of the varying colors. A screenshot of a flash cartoon will likely be better compressed with PNG. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 23:54, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Floppy Screens ==

Those are awsome. I couldn't have done it better myself. Yea, feel free to continue uploading floppy disk screens, I'm being kept pretty busy with the floppy disk summaries anyways, so thats great that it frees up my time. I also like the 'King of Screenshots' title. I'm glad someone noticed. Please, feel free to "continue and... not stop". Me and you, we're gonna clean up this wiki. Whereever there is no pic, we will create a dozen in it's place! Hahahahaha!

Okay, gonna go continue the Floppy summaries. Bye.

-- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]]. 06:14, 8 Oct 2004 (PST)

Well, just thought I'd give you an update on the page you helped me build. It's done, and it's excellent. Links can always be added to fansites for the games of course, but overall it's done, up, and thanks to a grant from the cheat, and viewers like you, it looks really good. Feel free to check it out at it's new location, [[Floppy Disk Container Plus]]. Thanks again, if you ever make any pages, and want some help, count me in. I'm always up for a project. [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 00:25, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

I replied to the message you left on my talk page. In case you didn't see it, it was this:
:I can't really take credit for the acronym -- that was [[User:Tom|Tom]]'s idea, after we spent a few minutes trying to decide on a name for it. I asked if we should pick a playful name or a boring and adminstrative name. So we hit on the idea of a boring name with a playful acronym. We decided on this one when Tom noted we could go "STUFF'D!" whenever something had to be moved. :P - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 02:01, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Screenshots ==

Well thank you for the compliment. Yea, that one was kind of hard to get, when I realized the old box was no more, I switched to another browser which wasn't updated yet, and snagged the screenshot before it was too late. Then a few hours later, when I had time, I tried to get the new screen. I was trying to think of how to get just a generic shot of it, when I realized that the first time or two, when you open it, it took a second to load, and had the generic title of homestar saying that quote, just on the picture. But you couldn't hear it. Of course I didn't notice that until it had already loaded. So once again I switced browsers, and managed to grab that one a few seconds before it loaded too. Since it was on the [[Main Page 9]], the paper one, the background was mostly white, so I was able to just edit out the non-white parts by filling in the parts that weren't shadowed. Thank you for your notice of a rather difficult screen. Btw, I've started a new section that requires alot of screens, I haven't really done any yet, Firebird has been taking care of that, but it's [[Halloween Costumes|here]] if you want to help. Thanks again. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 08:42, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I'll be uploading as many halloween costumes as I can! --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 08:58, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

== How Long Will The Paper Last? ==

I come bearing good news on [[The Paper]] front. I was a little astonished when I heard that the paper would only survive 55 episodes, or one year. However, if you take a sample year, such as the e-mail [[labor day]] to the release of the toon [[Labor Dabor]], only 31 emails transpired. Therefore, by those calculations, with [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], [[Powered By The Cheat]], [[Cheat Commandos]], and other e-mail replacements, I belive that The Paper has a better chance of surviving for one year and about 40 weeks or so, making it's date of possible replacement circa September 5th, 2006, or late summer/early fall or so. That's my prediction anyways. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 08:53, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Maybe this should be moved to [[HSR.com updates]], since asterisks in URLs are ugly. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 17:38, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)
:H*R seems to be the standard abbreviation you see around the net when referring to Homestar Runner. I don't really care what the URL looks like, frankly. I say to leave it as is. [[User:Render|Render]]

== Parsing Error ==

The [[H*R.com updates]] article has been throwing an error since a recent upgrade. Has anyone else seen other pages doing this? I think it has something to do with the template. Other pages are loading templates just fine, and, in fact, [[Template:updates]] is viewable. So why would the program have problems inserting that template onto this page? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:49, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
:'''Update''': there seem to be problems loading the updates template onto any page (I just tried in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]). Any ideas? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:55, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Check your comp. I see the template just fine and dandy, I don't know why you wouldn't be. (Unless, of course, it was fixed in the last three hours, which isn't impossible.) --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:23, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
:::It wasn't the template that was the problem. As I mentioned above, the template was viewable, it was just throwing errors when used on pages. Actually, everything '''''is''''' fixed now. I re-uploaded all the files for MediaWiki and that seems to have fixed things up nicely. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 13:43, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Lock? ==

I've noticed that some pages on [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]] happen to be lockable if people keep on editing in nasty things. Like, say, [[Wikipedia:George W. Bush|George W. Bush]]. Would that be possible on here? It'd sure-as-heck prevent all those people from trying to post updates here or vandalizing it, and frankly, what editing does this page really '''need'''? It's a page with a call to a template and maybe an introductory paragraph, but that's it. What's to edit? I say, if it's possible, this get protected from editing to make our lives a little easier. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 23:09, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

== So Long... ==

Why does it take so long for edits to the template to take effect here? I press reload over and over and nothing happens... --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 00:56, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

Still nothing. Will admins look at please? --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 22:31, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Were you doing a normal Refresh or a Ctrl+Refresh? Ctrl+Refresh forces your browser to load from the site rather than pulling the page from your temporary internet files. See if that makes a difference. I haven't confirmed this yet, but I'm starting to think MediaWiki actually caches pages somewhere on the server so that it doesn't get overloaded with PHP/SQL requests. Smart thinking if you ask me, and I think that's what makes it run smoother than 'Tavi. Anyway, try the Ctrl+Refresh and if that doesn't work try clearing your temp internet files. Reply back here if you can't figure it out. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 23:10, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

::MediaWiki does cache pages, images in particular. Quite nicely I might add, considering our bandwidth draw. Anyway, this page has worked fine for me since the first time I viewed it on Monday. Nerdular Nerdence, Joey's instructions are exactly what I would recommend. Does it work now?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

I'd tried that before and nothing, but now it is coming up ok. Maybe ISP or something stupid like that is caching on the way... oh well.
Also, use FireFox, and it doesn't seem to be quite as dumb about loading from cache instead of internet... --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 18:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

Other pages are loading templates just fine, and, in fact, [[Template:updates]] is viewable. So why would the program have problems inserting that template onto this page? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:49, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
:'''Update''': there seem to be problems loading the updates template onto any page (I just tried in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]). Any ideas? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:55, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Check your comp. I see the template just fine and dandy, I don't know why you wouldn't be. (Unless, of course, it was fixed in the last three hours, which isn't impossible.) --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:23, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
:::It wasn't the template that was the problem. As I mentioned above, the template was viewable, it was just throwing errors when used on pages. Actually, everything '''''is''''' fixed now. I re-uploaded all the files for MediaWiki and that seems to have fixed things up nicely. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 13:43, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Lock? ==

I've noticed that some pages on [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]] happen to be lockable if people keep on editing in nasty things. Like, say, [[Wikipedia:George W. Bush|George W. Bush]]. Would that be possible on here? It'd sure-as-heck prevent all those people from trying to post updates here or vandalizing it, and frankly, what editing does this page really '''need'''? It's a page with a call to a template and maybe an introductory paragraph, but that's it. What's to edit? I say, if it's possible, this get protected from editing to make our lives a little easier. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 23:09, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Thanks for the tip, but this page is [[HRWiki:Protection_log|already protected]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:52, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Must've happened when I wasn't looking. Thanks anyway.--[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 10:23, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

== So Long... ==

Why does it take so long for edits to the template to take effect here? I press reload over and over and nothing happens... --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 00:56, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Still broken here, too. Maybe the lock is messing it up for some reason. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 03:01, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

Still nothing. Will admins look at please? --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 22:31, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Were you doing a normal Refresh or a Ctrl+Refresh? Ctrl+Refresh forces your browser to load from the site rather than pulling the page from your temporary internet files. See if that makes a difference. I haven't confirmed this yet, but I'm starting to think MediaWiki actually caches pages somewhere on the server so that it doesn't get overloaded with PHP/SQL requests. Smart thinking if you ask me, and I think that's what makes it run smoother than 'Tavi. Anyway, try the Ctrl+Refresh and if that doesn't work try clearing your temp internet files. Reply back here if you can't figure it out. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 23:10, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

::MediaWiki does cache pages, images in particular. Quite nicely I might add, considering our bandwidth draw. Anyway, this page has worked fine for me since the first time I viewed it on Monday. Nerdular Nerdence, Joey's instructions are exactly what I would recommend. Does it work now?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

I'd tried that before and nothing, but now it is coming up ok. Maybe ISP or something stupid like that is caching on the way... oh well. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 18:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Nerdular Nerdence — Wed, 01 Dec 2004 06:04:57 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Toons and E-mails */

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's notable, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[animal]] ===

==== Finding Nemo ====

Deep-sea fangly fish, looks like the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo.

*'''Decline.''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/Anglerfish Anglerfish] are by no means exclusive to Finding Nemo. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
*'''Revise & Accept''' change "the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo" to "an [http://en.wikipedia.org/Anglerfish Anglerfish]" and this could be ok! --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera, who hasn't seen the page yet.]]
*'''accept''' [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] Hmm, I first mentioned this on the [[Deep Sea Fangly Fish]] page.. one thing that differentiates both this and the finding nemo fish from a real anglerfish is the "christmas lights". *shrug*
**Are you sure about that? I saw Finding Nemo and as far as I can remember, the anglerfish in that film was pretty standard. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Delete''' This has been made irrelevant by the inclusion of a similar, but more relevant anglerfish comment on the page [[User:Vannav|Vannav]]

==== Second Wall Breaking ====
This is yet another e-mail when Strong Bad seems to know he's being watched by people in the line "goodbye everybody"

*'''Decline.''' I think that fourth wall breakage should be listed on its own seperate page at this point, as it's been done so much. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
*''Decline.''' I made a new [[Fourth Wall Breaks]] page for this sort of thing. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline''' A lot (if not all) of the emails give me the impression that Strong Bad knows he's being watched. Therefore, this fact isn't interesting to me. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Decline''' It'd be more interesting to detail the instances they don't break the fourth wall. I mean, Strong Bad addresses the audience in the first few e-mails. --[[User:tender branson|tender branson]]
*'''Decline.''' Haven't we had something about the fourth wall in here already? Strong Bad Email in itself breaks the fourth wall. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Soolnd ====

The Pardack has one of Strong Sad's legs as one of its arms

*'''Decline.''' Has been noted in transcript, is obvious to anyone watching the email. --[[user:Vannav|Vannav]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== LCD Screen ====

When you click on the screen of the Lappy, it goes all "wavy", like on a normal labtop.

*'''Decline''' Already been noted --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline (but move)''' It's a feature of the Lappy, not directly due to this email. Move it to the Lappy page. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Ridiculous ====

The statement that Strong Bad says "{The Cheat} uses NO computers!" is incorrect, since the Cheat animated the Fangly fish animation with his [Tangerine Dreams] computer

*'''Decline''' With something like this, I'm sure no one will mind if I just delete it, right? I'm just going to do that from here on in. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
**Absolutely. This kind of "Fun Fact" doesn't really belong in STUFF. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**What is this doing on here? Did somebody, like, not read the transcript before shoving this up? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Christmas Lights ====

The fangly fish having Christmas lights is one of the few H*R references to Christmas. It is more often referred to as Decemberween.
*'''Accept''' Wow I just realized that. You are correct sir!
**Please sign with <nowiki>--~~~</nowiki>; it's really easy. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Decline''' Decemberween isn't really Christmas; they just happen to be similar. Also, referring to "Christmas lights" doesn't seem like a direct reference to Christmas; blue and white "Christmas lights" aren't often called "Hannukah lights." --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Rewrite.''' I suggest:
<pre>Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few
references to Christmas on the site, since Christmas is replaced by
[[Decemberween]].</pre>
:...since this is an interesting point, but Decemberween and Christmas aren't the same.
*'''Decline''' Referencing the style of decoration does not necessarily mean referencing the holiday. They have Christmas lights for almost any occasion now, even just white-bulb ones for illumination. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Subject Line, etc. ====

This is the first email in which we are shown the subject line. Also, this is the first email to have all the functions of a real email program (reply button, forward button, subject display), except for [[weird dream]].

*'''Decline''' Probably just a new feature of the Lappy, so the fact that this is the first email on the Lappy would cover it. Plus, email programs like those used in UNIX (i.e. <tt>mail</tt>) have all of the reply-like functions, but not on screen. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====

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

*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]

==== Segmented Eyes ====

"Segmented Eyes" is a line from the "Ren and Stimpy" Muddy Mudskipper song.

*'''Decline.''' Segmented eyes = not at all unique to Ren & Stimpy. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== These Speculations ====

"Check out all these speculations" may be a reference to the various forums on the internet that speculated about Strong Bad's new computer.

*'''Neutral.''' I just wanted to preliminarily STUFF this one, might need a rewrite to make it acceptable, or might not be interesting. Wanted to run it by others. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 23:04, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

=== [[virus]] ===
==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Decline.''' Isn't this already noted in the transcript? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' I should know this was noted in the transcript because I was the one who wrote it up and put it in there. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:32, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Not much of a reference, more like an occurance. Agree that this is noted in the transcript. [[HRWiki:Once_And_Only_Once|Once and Only Once]] issue. Reason: Duplicate information. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]]
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' OAOO. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 12:16, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I didn't notice this. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**On the other hand, perhaps you should have. ;) The general rule is if it's in the transcript, it shouldn't be noted again unless there's additional information to note. In this case, there isn't. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:12, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Some people may not even know what Strong Sad's journal is. [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]|[[User_talk:Hobophobic|talk]]
*'''Decline.''' Blatently obvious. - [[User:J to the Sag|J to the Sag]]
**'''Second.''' Not to be offensive, but any visitor with a brain and at least SOME Homestarrunner.com knowledge would know. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]

==== One flash file ====
The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*'''Modify and keep.''' This is a depart from the normal for The Brothers Chaps but could use a re-wording.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep.''' I don't really know if it needs modifying, but it definitely should be kept, as TBC have never done it before. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because Homestar grabbing the words makes it pretty clear to anybody whom this would have any meaning that they are a single Flash file. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. Dito. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify and accept.''' I think it should be changed to note that this is the ''only'' email in which the menu is part of the same flash file. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' It's an interesting fun fact. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 12:14, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]

==== Quadratic formula ====
[[Wikipedia:Quadratic formula|The quadratic formula]] is a mathematical equation used for finding solutions to quadratic equations.

*'''Delete'''. Not meaningful, fairly obvious [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Interesting.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. See Tom's note on it. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Too obvious. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''- Not many peple know that --[[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
**You kidding?!?! I learned the quadratic formula in middle school! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:00, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's probably one of the most well known mathmatical formulas, right up there with the pythagorean theorem.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''. This isn't fun at all. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' Neither fun nor obscure. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Although I didn't know this, it is irrelevant. It is a bit like saying 'There are computers in real life that are like Strong Bad's computer'. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' On grounds of irrelevance. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 05:04, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It's totally not relevant to the e-mail.

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

*'''Modify and keep'''. While I think Pi is interesting enough to include, I don't think the "infinite number of pages" part is necessary.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' Pi is pretty interesting in and of itself. I'm not so sure it needs altering, though. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''' Way too obvious. --[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. A little too obvious. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. The "infinite number of pages" part isn't needed. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
* '''Decline''' because anybody who could understand the concept of pi would probably already know about it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' It is supposed to be a joke, not a hidden fun fact. Most people would realise that it is pi. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Accept.''' I am top of my class at year 8,and I didn't notice that. This is what fun facts are for. - [[User:J to the Sag|J to the Sag]]
*'''Accept.''' Not everyone would notice this. Unless a fun fact is blindingly obvious, I think we should keep it. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Accept.''' - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly Howard|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' I'm sure tons of other people besides Curly and Strong Bad have used this phrase. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]
**'''Second.''' This phrase has indeed been used by many other people/characters besides Curly and Strong Bad, and there's no evidence it was a reference to any in particular. - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
*'''Delete.''' This one seems kind of vague, though it definitely is a phrase associated with The Three Stooges. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''. I think it's good, it's interesting and not something everybody knows. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' No evidence it's a reference. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. I don't think it's a reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because the phrase has also been used in many other places other than The Three Stooges and H*R. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Classic Three Stooges line. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
**'''Second.''' Classic Stooges indeed. Kind of obvious for a long time fan like myself, but some people don't watch the classics. --[[User:Mogul|Mogul]] 11:12, 28 Nov 2004 (EST)
*'''Accept'''. I didn't know this before. I think it's interesting. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is interesting enough. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' Perhaps if it were a bit more 'fun.' --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 23:05, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Eh. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify but keep'''. I doubt the stunt double thing, but keep the other part. It's hard to see at first because you focus on the rest of bubs more in that scene. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep but maybe Modify'''. See previous anonymous vote. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''- Vaguely 3D???? --[[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Decline'''. I don't think The Brothers Chaps intended to reference stunt double on this one. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. I doubt it's a stunt double reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, accept'''. Remove bit about "stunt double"/"Dangeresque 3". - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, Keep''. Remove bit about stunt double. Yeah. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's not literally true as stated (I've seen it said that, to the H*R crew, the SB e-mails are more of a live-action deal than cartoons, and I agree.) And it's useless. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Compy 386 on e-mail menu ====
When this e-mail was posted to Homestarrunner.com, the Compy 386 was still used for the e-mail menu and appeared to be working fine.

*'''Modify'''. It could bear noting that the email menu hadn't been changed yet, but as it's written, it's a tad confusing. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*<s>'''Hold until tomorrow'''. This one is meaningless until the new e-mail comes out, or at least until a full week has gone by. They may be trying to keep the fate of the Compy secret until everyone gets a chance to see the new e-mail. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)</s>

==== Homsar's walking sound ====
The sound made when the "blocky" Strong Mad walks away is the same sound heard when Homsar walks towards the screen in "[[for kids]]".

*'''Delete'''. Wasn't this exact same fact listed somewhere else on the page already? It is interesting to note that M Strong Mad's walking noise is the exact same as Homsar's, but I don't think it's a specific reference. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

*'''Proposed Revision:''' Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created.

*Not a vote, but a related comment: Might it not be that TBC '''intentionally''' selected a time when no viruses really existed? What we see happening might not be a virus, but a (heavy) bug in that program. --[[User:83.88.139.108|83.88.139.108]] 15:18, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Email number====
The fact that a disaster happened on email 118 is probably a reference to the disaster of the British phone enquiry system that got changed to hundreds of different numbers all beginning with 118.

==== Humminama What? ====
When Bubs says "Humminama-What?",that is a reference to Under Construction, where Stinkoman says something similar.

*'''Decline:''' Similar, but not noteworthy-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

*'''Accept.''' Exactly correct however I think Bubs has said that before.. - [[User:J to the Sag|J to the Sag]]

==== Creeping Death ====
The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' I can buy that this is a ref. to Metallica because TBC have other Metallica refs (see [[Carol]]). Also Creeping Death (caps) and silent auction (lower case) make sence together.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

*'''Decline''' - The phrase "creeping death" is neither unique to Metallica nor popularized by them. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 10:48, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== WEAR FLIP FLOPS. ====
In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

*'''Decline:''' This is just good policy, not a ref. to wearing another article of clothing.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

*'''Decline.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== All white stuff on his face ====

==== Strong Mad's laugh ====
Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.

*'''Decline:''' So, they changed his laugh. -[[User:Your_Fuzzy_God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]

*'''Abstain/Explanation:''' Since I'm the one who wrote that, it's not fair for me to vote, but I want to at least explain why I thought it to be relevant. TBC like to point out those sort of things in interviews and on the DVD - new animation approaches, redesigned character, new approaches to the vocal stylings, etc. These sort of facts show how their skills and thought process involving the site has evolved. - [[User:Rebochan|Rebochan]] 23:29, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Talk:H*R.com updates 2005

Nerdular Nerdence — Wed, 01 Dec 2004 05:31:51 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence:

Maybe this should be moved to [[HSR.com updates]], since asterisks in URLs are ugly. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 17:38, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)
:H*R seems to be the standard abbreviation you see around the net when referring to Homestar Runner. I don't really care what the URL looks like, frankly. I say to leave it as is. [[User:Render|Render]]
::I kind of agree with Render. "HSR.com" doesn't mean anything to me; I think it's confusing. Note that you can still type "H*R.com updates" into your Address bar and you'll still get to the correct page, even though the browser will encode your URL. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]
:::I've never used the "HSR" abbreviation. Who uses that anyway? And since we're talking about typing stuff in address bars, here's a fun fact: typing "Homestar Runner updates" into Google's "I'm feeling lucky" search (or just typing it into Firefox's location bar) will land you on our [[Main Page]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:03, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

::::We could change it to "Official Site Updates". Would that remedy the confusion between abbreviations? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:29, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)
:::::Just make a redirect or something, like the one for my profile (which will link you to [[Wikipedia: User:Shadow Hog|my Wikipedia profile]]). There's no reason that there shouldn't be a redirect. In fact, I think I'll go do one right now, save people some time.

:::::And for the record, '''I''' use the "HSR" abbreviation. Both are acceptable abbreviations from what I can tell; whichever one you use is entirely up to personal preference. I just happen to prefer "HSR" since I think the asterisk looks kinda funky used in an abbreviation like that. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:07, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

== RSS ==

Could we get an RSS feed for this page like the one in recent changes? That would be '''very''' handy :)
-Southpaw018

:What is an RSS feed? [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

::There's some good information on RSS in [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=563 this forum topic] and on the [[HRWiki:Feeds]] page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:09, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Parsing Error ==

The [[H*R.com updates]] article has been throwing an error since a recent upgrade. Has anyone else seen other pages doing this? I think it has something to do with the template. Other pages are loading templates just fine, and, in fact, [[Template:updates]] is viewable. So why would the program have problems inserting that template onto this page? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:49, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
:'''Update''': there seem to be problems loading the updates template onto any page (I just tried in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]). Any ideas? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:55, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Check your comp. I see the template just fine and dandy, I don't know why you wouldn't be. (Unless, of course, it was fixed in the last three hours, which isn't impossible.) --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:23, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
:::It wasn't the template that was the problem. As I mentioned above, the template was viewable, it was just throwing errors when used on pages. Actually, everything '''''is''''' fixed now. I re-uploaded all the files for MediaWiki and that seems to have fixed things up nicely. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 13:43, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Lock? ==

I've noticed that some pages on [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]] happen to be lockable if people keep on editing in nasty things. Like, say, [[Wikipedia:George W. Bush|George W. Bush]]. Would that be possible on here? It'd sure-as-heck prevent all those people from trying to post updates here or vandalizing it, and frankly, what editing does this page really '''need'''? It's a page with a call to a template and maybe an introductory paragraph, but that's it. What's to edit? I say, if it's possible, this get protected from editing to make our lives a little easier. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 23:09, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Thanks for the tip, but this page is [[HRWiki:Protection_log|already protected]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:52, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Must've happened when I wasn't looking. Thanks anyway.--[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 10:23, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

== So long... ==

Why does it take so long for edits to the template to take effect here? I press reload over and over and nothing happens... --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 00:56, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

Broken Compy Menu

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Fun Facts */ Square character differs depending on charset, re-did

[[Image:Shotgunned_menu.png|thumb|Homestar, did you come here for a reason?]]

'''Strong Bad Email?'''

Homestar Runner complains about pricing while Bubs tries to unload the shotgunned [[Compy 386]]. The menu was created after the Compy 386 died.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]]
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
''{The shot opens with the shotgunned Compy 386 with a piece of paper taped to the front of it listing all of the current Strong Bad emails. After about 10 seconds, Homestar Runner starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? ''{camera zooms out so we can see Homestar and the rest of the concession stand, with Bubs nowhere in sight}'' Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!

''{Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Doot doot doo... alright, I'm back!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Nothing!

'''BUBS:''' Who were you just talkin' to?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?

'''BUBS:''' Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?

''{camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, ''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}'' did you come up here for a reason?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, freedom?

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A low-priced automobile!

'''BUBS:''' Well, why didn't you say so? I've got one right here! ''{Bubs gestures toward the shotgunned Compy}'' Just in! Fresh from the factory goodness!

''{camera changes back to the interior view of the concession stand. Homestar performs several double takes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you trying to sell me a lemon?

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, I'm not gonna lie to you.

''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' You're not gonna find a better deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sold! Sold! ''{deeper voice}'' Sold!

''{The camera cuts back to the menu taped on the broken Compy 386}''

==Fun Facts==
*If you let the animation start, the menu has a bug that causes the emails to count up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title will direct you to the email one previous to it. This also means [[some kinda robot]] directed to 'sbemail0.html' and [[virus]] could not be accessed from the menu. Also, [[flashback]] takes you to 'emailahundred.html' instead of 'sbemailahundred.html', whether or not you let the animation play.
*This toon replaced the Compy 386 email menu after its destruction in "virus", and doubled as the replacement email menu.
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "sbemail.swf," it was "sbemail_shotgunned.swf"
**This might be so it can still be accessed when the menu is replaced.
*When the Tandy 400 exploded, [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
*The Compy 386 is missing the contrast dial.
*The line, "I'm not gonna lie to you," spoken by both Homestar and Bubs, was also spoken by Homsar in [[for kids]].
*The font used for the email names does not include an underscore ('_') character, so 'sb_email 22' appears with a square instead of an underscore.

HRWiki talk:Old STUFF

Nerdular Nerdence — Sat, 27 Nov 2004 18:14:16 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Rant and Roar */

==Rant and Roar==

We need to move the "Fun Facts" debate/discussion/voting to the Talk pages of the specific articles. I now realize that this "Stuff" HRWIKI about page pure silliness.

By moving content discussion from the talk page to a common page we are simply no using the Wiki to its potential. If one gets a lack of response from a talk page, go ahead and make the change. BE BOLD.

'''-That is what the Talk page is for-'''

It has been said that many contributors will not check the talk page before making a change. Most everyone on the "Stuff" page are old hands. If newbies won't read the how-to why would they go to the "Stuff" page?

The popularity of the "Stuff" page is typical of a sloppy discussion forum and not an article based reference guide.

I think this will be an ongoing problem with this wiki because since the HR universe is finite, most of its content has already been catalogued. Still, many people want to contribute so we are left with an onslaught of "fun facts" and pointless articles on SB's [[Stool]].

What we need is a Clean-Up page. Articles that need to be cleaned up for one reason or another are listed on the Clean-Up Page. This would include merge and redirects, and it could be used to flag pages with "fun fact" debates.

I think due to the nature of the "[[virus]]" email it will be a high water mark in the "did you notice that" department.

My 2 cents - [[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 21:17, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Yes, that's what the talk page is for, but talk pages aren't organized. Sometimes when a problem gets big enough, a jury-rigged solution becomes less adequate. It's been pointed out that the STUFF page results in ''much'' more (and more precise) feedback than the use of talk pages does. In addition, for the first time we're all getting together and working out what makes a good fun fact. These things don't sound like "pure silliness" to me. The same argument can be made with Wikipedia and VfD: talk of deletion could just take place on the Talk page, but if they did it that way, it'd be spread too thin and much less would actually get done. Of course, a counterargument is that Wikipedia is much larger-scale, but I think the argument still applies since this is obviously doing good. As I've noted, by the way, people who wish to be bold can still just post their facts directly; there's just less of a chance that it'll be accepted. By the way, we could still use a clean-up page, but I think it needs to be separated from STUFF because of the potentially high volume. Time will tell... - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:02, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Perhaps this has already been mentioned, but perhaps we should have individual STUFF fun facts on the talk pages of their respective pages under a subsection of their talk pages, and have links to talk pages that have STUFF'd items on this page. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 01:12, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

::Counterargument: having everything on one STUFF page still makes it easier to maintain. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 04:02, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::I find it hard to call a 44Kb long page full of decline/delete/accept/keep that no one wants to read through easy to maintain. That's why I recommend this page be used to link to discussion pages for the toons. As long as people actually use it, then this page will link to pages that list fun facts under consideration. If you hadn't noticed, clicking edit on the STUFF page leads to some warning akin to this: "WARNING: Most browsers will barf on this page. It is too long." It really is too long, and will likely only get messier as time goes on. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 11:14, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

==General Comments and Rants==
*I'm glad that we are finally addressing the crap fun fact issue. Whenever one sees the text "this may be a reference to...." it should just be cut. Not even voted on. If we don’t know, its not a fact. Speculate elsewhere.

:And we shouldn’t confuse '''running gags''' with '''references'''. When [[The Cheat's Head Exploding| The Cheat's head blows up]], or there is a new game title in the [[Floppy Disk Container]], those are running gags. When Strong Bad overtly mentions the email [[tape-leg]], that’s a reference. When something appears in the background from another toon or email, that is not a "reference". Nor is the reusing of sound effects a "reference". -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 16:02, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

::I agree. A true classification system such as the one you present needs to be drawn up. This would help with the problem of internal Homestar Runner references. Do you think something similar would also aide us with external references to real-life things as well?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:30, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

I totally agree. The reason they use the same backgrounds/items/sounds is because it's easier than making a new one. And also,something should only be considered a pop culture reference if it's an exact quote or almost an exact quote.

== Starting to get on the wrong foot here... ==

First off, I'd like to revise the terms used for voting. Rather than "delete/keep", we should use "decline/accept" because we should mostly be voting on ''new'' fun facts, which brings me to my next point: already somebody has posted an item for [[little animal]], which is an old e-mail with very few fun facts. I think it'd be preferable to move the disputed item to the Talk page in that case. We don't want to get more bureaucratic than necessary, that is, this page is meant to be here for pages that ''need'' it.

Of course, we don't have to do things my way. I'm just communicating my original intent. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 07:22, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

:It seems to me that even pages like "virus" could have the fun fact voting on its talk page. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 12:18, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I disagree, if disputed fun facts are just put on the Talk page, someone will just put it back with the facts, and then someone else will put it back in Talk, and it will just go back and forth. Unless you mean to set up a voting system in the Talk page. That would be alright, but I think that Select The Usable Fun Facts is better because users will know where to go about disputed fun facts, and if they were just on Talk, they might get overlooked. STUFF seems to be the better system. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]] 3:00, 22 Nov. 2004 (GMT)

:I agree with Ogog. This has happened to me a few times. You take an irrelevant fun fact off and then 5 minutes later it is back. I have also tried posting to the talk page to try to clear up some irrelevant fun facts, but never got a response (see [[Talk:Halloween Fairstival]]). -[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

:::On the other hand, I believe this is already shown to be wrong because here there is both more breadth and more depth in fun fact discussions than there has ever been.

HRWiki talk:Old STUFF

Nerdular Nerdence — Sat, 27 Nov 2004 08:13:49 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence: Moved my response to different section...

==Rant and Roar==

We need to move the "Fun Facts" debate/discussion/voting to the Talk pages of the specific articles. I now realize that this "Stuff" HRWIKI about page pure silliness.

By moving content discussion from the talk page to a common page we are simply no using the Wiki to its potential. If one gets a lack of response from a talk page, go ahead and make the change. BE BOLD.

Perhaps this has already been mentioned, but perhaps we should have individual STUFF fun facts on the talk pages of their respective pages under a subsection of their talk pages, and have links to talk pages that have STUFF'd items on this page. --[[User:Nerdular Nerdence|Nerdular Nerdence]] 01:12, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

'''-That is what the Talk page is for-'''

It has been said that many contributors will not check the talk page before making a change. Most everyone on the "Stuff" page are old hands. If newbies won't read the how-to why would they go to the "Stuff" page?

The popularity of the "Stuff" page is typical of a sloppy discussion forum and not an article based reference guide.

I think this will be an ongoing problem with this wiki because since the HR universe is finite, most of its content has already been catalogued. Still, many people want to contribute so we are left with an onslaught of "fun facts" and pointless articles on SB's [[Stool]].

What we need is a Clean-Up page. Articles that need to be cleaned up for one reason or another are listed on the Clean-Up Page. This would include merge and redirects, and it could be used to flag pages with "fun fact" debates.

I think due to the nature of the "[[virus]]" email it will be a high water mark in the "did you notice that" department.

My 2 cents - [[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 21:17, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Yes, that's what the talk page is for, but talk pages aren't organized. Sometimes when a problem gets big enough, a jury-rigged solution becomes less adequate. It's been pointed out that the STUFF page results in ''much'' more (and more precise) feedback than the use of talk pages does. In addition, for the first time we're all getting together and working out what makes a good fun fact. These things don't sound like "pure silliness" to me. The same argument can be made with Wikipedia and VfD: talk of deletion could just take place on the Talk page, but if they did it that way, it'd be spread too thin and much less would actually get done. Of course, a counterargument is that Wikipedia is much larger-scale, but I think the argument still applies since this is obviously doing good. As I've noted, by the way, people who wish to be bold can still just post their facts directly; there's just less of a chance that it'll be accepted. By the way, we could still use a clean-up page, but I think it needs to be separated from STUFF because of the potentially high volume. Time will tell... - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:02, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

*I'm glad that we are finally addressing the crap fun fact issue. Whenever one sees the text "this may be a reference to...." it should just be cut. Not even voted on. If we don’t know, its not a fact. Speculate elsewhere.

:And we shouldn’t confuse '''running gags''' with '''references'''. When [[The Cheat's Head Exploding| The Cheat's head blows up]], or there is a new game title in the [[Floppy Disk Container]], those are running gags. When Strong Bad overtly mentions the email [[tape-leg]], that’s a reference. When something appears in the background from another toon or email, that is not a "reference".

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Easter Eggs */ Fixed capitilization, removed unnecessary link, added number of times some messages popup

[[Image:invisibility.PNG|thumb|The 386!]]

'''Strong Bad Email #41'''

[[Tandy 400]] is dead and gone. BEHOLD! Da [[Compy 386]]! A spectacle of graphics and sound! Meanwhile, Strong Bad discovers being invisible really isn't worth it.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' I'm hooome!

''{He walks to the Tandy 400 and sits in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's see here. Don't need this anymore.

''{Strong Bad removes the post-it on the screen that says "DORKS!" on it with an angry face with sharp teeth below.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And don't need THIS anymore.

''{Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the table and onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' For behold...

''{Strong Bad places a new computer on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The 386. A spectacle of graphics and sound! ''{A tune is played and the "386 Version 1.5" logo appears on the screen.}'' Okay, let's get to checking!

<pre>strong bad,

what would you do if you were
invisable for one day????

sin studly17</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well dumb name, this is something I've often thought about myself. And I came to the conclusion that... ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' I don't really think being visible prevents me from doing whatever I want to do. So I'd probably just do the kinda stuff I normally do.

''{Cut to an invisible Strong Bad stealing boxes of Swiss Cake Rolls from Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' You know, like, steal stuff...

''{Bubs turns around to find the Swiss Cake Rolls boxes floating away.}''

'''BUBS:''' My chocolates! Come back, chocolates! I didn't mean what I said...

''{Cut to Homestar Runner standing in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...punch stuff...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan is LATE.

''{The boxes of rolls float up to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey guys!

''{A punching noise is heard and Homestar doubles over. The boxes float off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oof! Owwwww... Those things are bad for you...

''{Cut to Invisible Strong Bad eating the Swiss Cake Rolls on his couch in front of the TV. Family Feud is on in here.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...eat stuff... and at the same time... like, watch stuff...

''{The "Family Feud" strike buzzer is heard from the TV.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' Hoo ha ha ha! Survey says, you're an idiot!

''{Strong Mad enters the room and walks in front of where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' Oh hey man. Look, I'm sitting here, I'm just invisible, okay? Hey! Brain-for-brains! I'm right here! The floating Swiss Cake Roll is talking to you! Hey, now what the...NONONONO...

''{Strong Mad gets angry and sits on the couch where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

''{Cut back to the computer with Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! ''{typing}'' Nevermind. Being invisible is not worth a face full of Strong Mad butt. ''{stops typing}'' Whoa! ''{resumes typing}'' I feel like I need to take a shower. I dunno when the last time he washed that singlet was. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways. Remember, kids! Take your vitamins, pretend you're hilarious, and always, ''always'', e-mail Strong Bad.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. The screen eventually fades out and cuts to the Tandy 400 sitting in a trash can}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of it, the screen will fade to the Tandy in the trash. You can click on the contrast buttons to see some funny last words.
**Why strong bad? why?
**Remember the duck pond?
**I thought we were a team.
**Whatever, man. I can make it on my own.
**386? more like three eighty SUCKS!
**Tell the printer I'll miss her
**Yeah? Well someone on eBay loves me.
**There's flies in me. It tickles. [x5]
**My mind is going. I can feel it.
**Fine, I'm gonna start giving away secrets.
**Have you clicked on the 'O' in Message Bored?
**Justin Bailey ****** ******
**Oh jeez. I think this is really it.
**gasp.
**wheez.
**cough.
**''(blank screen)'' [x2]
**end of line.

== Fun Facts ==

*The line "My mind is going. I can feel it." is a reference to the movie '''2001: A Space Odyssey'''.

*The line "Justin Bailey ****** ******" is a reference to the infamous suitless Samus cheat code in Metroid for the NES.

*One of the 'last words' is a hint to click on the 'O' in Message Bored. If you click on the O there it brings you to 3 hidden games.

*If you look at the Tandy's screen when its in the garbage, you'll notice that the crack in the glass isn't there.

*If you try to change the contrast on Tandy before Strong Bad's reflection appears, the reflection is not changed like in previous emails, instead, it looks like his reflection on Compy.

*The buzz sound from the TV and Strong Bad's quote "Survey Says... You're deleted!" are references to Family Feud.

*The line "End of line" is a reference to the sinister Master Control Program in Walt Disney's movie, '''Tron'''. MCP always ended conversations with his minions by saying "End of line." Incidentally, the "end of line" marker on teletype machines (or on DOS/Windows) is two characters, Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF). On UNIX or Linux it's just LF, and on a Mac it's just CR. Why two characters for the single concept "End of Line?" Teletype machines needed two characters worth of time to get the print head all the way back to the beginning of the next line; the designers split the command into two characters, CR to move to the left side of the page, LF to go down one line. ''And now you know.''

*When the Tandy 400 says "Tell the printer I'll miss her." it is confirmation that there is in fact a printer even though we haven't ever seen one.

*Strangely, when Strong Bad sits down at the tandy, we see his reflection but it blocks the little green lines on the screen. In real life this wouldn't happen, nor does it happen in any other email.

== DVD Version ==
*Unlike the email version, you have to click on a hidden Strong Bad head icon to access the Tandy 400's last words, as opposed to just waiting.
**As well, there are minor differences in the Egg. The egg is now a video, with sound effects of the flies buzzing, blips when the Tandy changes text, and inability to cycle through the text manually. When the Tandy says "My mind is going, I can feel it," it flashes on the screen a few times before switching over to the next block of text. As well, when "End of Line" appears, the text slowly fades away into nothingness.
*There is also a hidden creator's commentary for this email. To access it, just switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's coming back from vacation, Mike! This is the first break we really took after we'd started doing the Strong Bad Emails every week, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm. Couple weeks.

'''MATT:''' Where'd YOU go on your vacation?

'''MIKE:''' I went to Bald Head Island in North Carolina.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm. The beach.

'''MATT:''' I guess I went to Marco Island in Florida, I would assume. ''{pause}'' So, here comes the 386! Just-

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, new computer! Uh, he hasn't updated since then.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Should we do that?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe someday. I've thought about giving him a laptop named Lappy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That sounds pretty good.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe we'll do that someday.

'''MATT:''' The Lappy 486?

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' I like that song Bubs is singing to himself. I love how personified the Swiss Cake Rolls are.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, no one, no one seems to have a problem with the floating Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' Yeah

'''MIKE:''' It's like, so common.

'''MATT:''' Bubs had been in some kind of domestic dispute with them earlier. Homestar was... y'know, maybe going to meet them up at the club later. I like the, like, butt, the sweaty butt imprint that Strong Bad's leaving on the couch there. Here comes Graw Mad! Look out! He doesn't know what's going on! Uh-oh, Strong Bad! Ohhh, man.

'''MIKE:''' So did that really happen?

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' All of that stuff?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Oh

'''MATT:''' That was all, I think

'''MIKE:''' Like a dream sequence?

'''MATT:''' We draw- there's a fine line. Sometimes, it's really happening, and sometimes it's just hypothetical.

'''MIKE:''' I think that one was hypothetical.

'''MATT:''' I think we leave the best- the more grey we leave it, the better. Thanks everyone.

=== Fun Facts ===
*This commentary serves as very effective foreshadowing to the email [[virus]] (which had not been made at the time the commentary was recorded). Whether TBC will use "Lappy" or not is yet to be determined.
*Matt calling Strong Mad "Graw Mad" is probably a reference to [[the facts]] (though the email may not have been made at the time of the commentary recording)

Nerdular Nerdence: /* B */ Fixed link to Trogdor

Hear a word on Homestarrunner.com and have no idea what in the world it means? Here is a great place to find what you're looking for. Also, [[Rejects]] and [[Inside Jokes]] might help. If a word is linked, click on the link to find out more information.

== 0-9 ==
'''[[1936]]''': The past of Free Country, USA. The time period that was like a REALLY old movie.

'''[[20X6]]''': Pronounced "twenty-exty-six". Possibly the eventual future of Free Country, USA, it's the hometime of [[Stinkoman]]. It's also [[The Brothers Chaps]]' way of parodying the cliches of anime.

'''[[404'd]]!''': Something that happens when you type in something Homestar-related that doesn't exist. [[The Man With The Huge Mouth]] does it, [[Strong Bad]] makes fun of your typing skills, and [[The Ugly One]] complains about her browser.

== A ==
'''ARROWED!''': Something that happens to the [[Teen Girl Squad]], in which [[The Man With The Huge Mouth]] spits arrows out of his mouth at a girl. It also happens to Trogdor in the [[TROGDOR!]] game (See also: SWORDED!).

'''Atari 2600''': A video game system, parodied time and time again in Homestar Runner. To this writer's knowledge, the first time it was parodied was in [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], when the game Pitfall was used.

'''Avicide''': The killing or murdering of birds. Usually happens in [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

'''Awexome''': Like awesome, but moreso. See [[Awexome Cross]].

== B ==
'''BALEETED!''': Another way to say "deleted". From [[50 emails]], in which Homestar can't spell "deleted".

'''CHALLENGE!!!''': A favorite word (and pastime) of [[Stinko Man]].

'''[[Cold One]]''': A drink (hinted at being beer, but since H*R.com is sorta a kid's site, we may never officially know), that is drunk by the inhabitants of [[Free Country, USA]]. See [[property of ones]].

'''...comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!''': Phrase used anytime someone describes a dragon, especially [[Trogdor]]. Put the name of the thing before "comes". Originally from [[guitar]].

'''Compy 386''': Strong Bad's second computer used for emails. It was introduced in invisibility, was both virus-laiden and shotgunned in virus, and is now for sale at Bubs' Concession Stand with a list of Stong Bad's E-mails written on lined refil taped over the hole.

'''DELORTED!!!''': [[Coach Z]]'s Pronunciation of 'DELETED!!!'. Seen in [[replacement]]. Screen turns dark gold, as opposed to the usual blue.

'''Denny's Menu''': This is the title of the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu page, where [[Strong Bad]] (occasionally accompanied by another character) does his Email Raps.

'''[[Fhqwhgads]]''': A word that was invented thanks to [[i love you]]. It's short for "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf". Very few in the land can prononce it. [[Homestar Runner]] says "Foogoomagoo." [[Coach Z]] says "FAHORDLINGRADS!" [[Strong Mad]] says "DOUGLAS!!" The word has gotten its own Music Video, and encouraged others to try to get songs about them. See [[i love you]].
[[Matt Chapman]] describes a fhqwhgad as someone that keeps jockin' you and won't get offa your tip. [http://www.dailyaztec.com/Archive/Fall-2002/11-21-02/tempo/tempo02.html]

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Nerdular Nerdence — Fri, 26 Nov 2004 05:57:07 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Large Blank Space */ Again...

__NOTOC__

The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's notable, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pok�mon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[virus]] ===
==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Decline.''' Isn't this already noted in the transcript? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' I should know this was noted in the transcript because I was the one who wrote it up and put it in there. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:32, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Not much of a reference, more like an occurance. Agree that this is noted in the transcript. [[HRWiki:Once_And_Only_Once|Once and Only Once]] issue. Reason: Duplicate information. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]]
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I didn't notice this. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**On the other hand, perhaps you should have. ;) The general rule is if it's in the transcript, it shouldn't be noted again unless there's additional information to note. In this case, there isn't. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:12, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== One flash file ====
The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*'''Modify and keep.''' This is a depart from the normal for The Brothers Chaps but could use a re-wording.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep.''' I don't really know if it needs modifying, but it definitely should be kept, as TBC have never done it before. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because Homestar grabbing the words makes it pretty clear to anybody whom this would have any meaning that they are a single Flash file. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. Dito. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify and accept.''' I think it should be changed to note that this is the ''only'' email in which the menu is part of the same flash file. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' It's an interesting fun fact. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Quadratic formula ====
[[Wikipedia:Quadratic formula|The quadratic formula]] is a mathematical equation used for finding solutions to quadratic equations.

*'''Delete'''. Not meaningful, fairly obvious [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Interesting.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. See Tom's note on it. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Too obvious. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''- Not many peple know that --[[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
**You kidding?!?! I learned the quadratic formula in middle school! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:00, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's probably one of the most well known mathmatical formulas, right up there with the pythagorean theorem.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''. This isn't fun at all. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' Neither fun nor obscure. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Although I didn't know this, it is irrelevant. It is a bit like saying 'There are computers in real life that are like Strong Bad's computer'. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' On grounds of irrelevance. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 05:04, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Linux ====
[[Wikipedia:Linux|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written for the [[Wikipedia:Intel 80386|386]] by [[Wikipedia:Linus Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]] in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:GNU/Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).

*'''Modify and keep'''. This seems a bit long winded. It needs to be trimmed down.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. I agree that it's interesting and that it probably could be trimmed down somewhat. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. Needs the trimming. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''.→''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Accept.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Modify, keep'''. What about just linking to the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Linux]] article while mentioning, quite simply, it's an operating system. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 12:59, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

*'''Modify and keep'''. While I think Pi is interesting enough to include, I don't think the "infinite number of pages" part is necessary.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' Pi is pretty interesting in and of itself. I'm not so sure it needs altering, though. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''' Way too obvious. --[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. A little too obvious. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. The "infinite number of pages" part isn't needed. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
* '''Decline''' because anybody who could understand the concept of pi would probably already know about it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' It is supposed to be a joke, not a hidden fun fact. Most people would realise that it is pi. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' This one seems kind of vague, though it definitely is a phrase associated with The Three Stooges. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''. I think it's good, it's interesting and not something everybody knows. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' No evidence it's a reference. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. I don't think it's a reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because the phrase has also been used in many other places other than The Three Stooges and H*R. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Classic Three Stooges line. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Accept'''. I didn't know this before. I think it's interesting. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is interesting enough. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Out in the black ====
Strong Bad being outside of "normal space" (where he exclaims "it is cold out here!") could be a reference to a bug/feature in Peasant's Quest where you can also end up "out in the black".

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Seems rather unlikely. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Not likely, that was a glitch. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. See previous. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''' --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Delete''' [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Eh. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify but keep'''. I doubt the stunt double thing, but keep the other part. It's hard to see at first because you focus on the rest of bubs more in that scene. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep but maybe Modify'''. See previous anonymous vote. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''- Vaguely 3D???? --[[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Decline'''. I don't think The Brothers Chaps intended to reference stunt double on this one. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. I doubt it's a stunt double reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, accept'''. Remove bit about "stunt double"/"Dangeresque 3". - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, Keep''. Remove bit about stunt double. Yeah. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify, keep''' Keep the bit about it being in 3D. "stunt double" isn't worth the bother. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' If it is actually 3-D, then keep it, but take out the reference part. It is not a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's not literally true as stated (I've seen it said that, to the H*R crew, the SB e-mails are more of a live-action deal than cartoons, and I agree.) And it's useless. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite'''. This needs to be trimmed. It's a little too much information. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:37, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. There's too many 4th wall breakdowns for any to be worth noting. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify, keep''' This is definitely worth noting, but needs to be severely trimmed or maybe noted elsewhere. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Of course the characters are aware that they have an audience: the entire concept of the SBEmails hinges on this. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' Good point DG. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Compy 386 on e-mail menu ====
When this e-mail was posted to Homestarrunner.com, the Compy 386 was still used for the e-mail menu and appeared to be working fine.

*'''Modify'''. It could bear noting that the email menu hadn't been changed yet, but as it's written, it's a tad confusing. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*<s>'''Hold until tomorrow'''. This one is meaningless until the new e-mail comes out, or at least until a full week has gone by. They may be trying to keep the fate of the Compy secret until everyone gets a chance to see the new e-mail. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)</s>
**Good point. Now it's tomorrow and the fate of the Compy is somewhat established, but because it's not associated with any other e-mail it may as well be noted here, but with a link to a page with the transcript of the new e-mail menu scene. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 07:41, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Delete''' (or at least modify to refer to the new e-mail main page) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 12:16, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Worth noting, and not too bad as is. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' because it's a little obvious (changing the menu would spoil the surprise) and the fun fact page is already cluttered. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)</s>
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' Not fun. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Compy 386?? (page title) ====
The page title is "Compy 386??" to reflect the fate of the Compy.

*'''Keep'''. I think it's worthy enough to note. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Homsar's walking sound ====
The sound made when the "blocky" Strong Mad walks away is the same sound heard when Homsar walks towards the screen in "[[for kids]]".

*'''Delete'''. Wasn't this exact same fact listed somewhere else on the page already? It is interesting to note that M Strong Bad's walking noise is the exact same as Homsar's, but I don't think it's a specific reference. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Keep but Modify'''. Again, it's not a specific reference, just the sound Homsar always makes when he walks. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Revise'''. It should be modified to remove the specific for kids reference because that is always the sound heard when Homsar walks. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

*<strike>'''Keep'''. Now this is a pretty interesting fact, and something I had no idea about. It might need to be trimmed somewhat, but otherwise this is good.</strike> --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:29, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Delete'''. I knew I should've checked this out before I voted. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 16:18, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''', because it's a rather funny consequence of randomly picking an old date in the past for a fake copyright notice. A virus scanner with no viruses written yet! --[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''', this is incorrect. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus#History Wikipedia] lists the first computer virus made in 1982.

*'''Proposed Revision:''' Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created. Although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made, it would pretty much be impossible for a virus scanner to have existed in 1982. [[User:FireLily|FireLily]]

*'''Decline:''' ehh...-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' I don't think that this is entirely relevant. Sure, Homestar did hold his breath on the Yearbook Characters Page, but that isn't really connected to him holding his breath in Fair-stival.

**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Creeping Death ====
The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' I can buy that this is a ref. to Metallica because TBC have other Metallica refs (see [[Carol]]). Also Creeping Death (caps) and silent auction (lower case) make sence together.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

*'''Decline.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== WEAR FLIP FLOPS. ====
In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

*'''Decline:''' This is just good policy, not a ref. to wearing another article of clothing.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

==== Strong Mad's laugh ====
Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.

*'''Decline:''' So, they changed his laugh. -[[User:Your_Fuzzy_God|Fuzzy]]

__NOTOC__

The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's notable, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pok�mon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)

==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Accept.''' I didn't notice this. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== One flash file ====
The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*'''Decline.''' Neither fun nor obscure. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Although I didn't know this, it is irrelevant. It is a bit like saying 'There are computers in real life that are like Strong Bad's computer'. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' On grounds of irrelevance. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 05:04, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Linux ====
[[Wikipedia:Linux|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written for the [[Wikipedia:Intel 80386|386]] by [[Wikipedia:Linus Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]] in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:GNU/Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).

*'''Modify and keep'''. This seems a bit long winded. It needs to be trimmed down.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

*'''Modify and keep'''. While I think Pi is interesting enough to include, I don't think the "infinite number of pages" part is necessary.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' Pi is pretty interesting in and of itself. I'm not so sure it needs altering, though. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''' Way too obvious. --[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. A little too obvious. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. The "infinite number of pages" part isn't needed. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
* '''Decline''' because anybody who could understand the concept of pi would probably already know about it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' It is supposed to be a joke, not a hidden fun fact. Most people would realise that it is pi. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' This one seems kind of vague, though it definitely is a phrase associated with The Three Stooges. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''. I think it's good, it's interesting and not something everybody knows. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' No evidence it's a reference. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. I don't think it's a reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because the phrase has also been used in many other places other than The Three Stooges and H*R. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Classic Three Stooges line. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is interesting enough. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Out in the black ====
Strong Bad being outside of "normal space" (where he exclaims "it is cold out here!") could be a reference to a bug/feature in Peasant's Quest where you can also end up "out in the black".

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Seems rather unlikely. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Eh. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify but keep'''. I doubt the stunt double thing, but keep the other part. It's hard to see at first because you focus on the rest of bubs more in that scene. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep but maybe Modify'''. See previous anonymous vote. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''- Vaguely 3D???? --[[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Decline'''. I don't think The Brothers Chaps intended to reference stunt double on this one. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. I doubt it's a stunt double reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, accept'''. Remove bit about "stunt double"/"Dangeresque 3". - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, Keep''. Remove bit about stunt double. Yeah. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify, keep''' Keep the bit about it being in 3D. "stunt double" isn't worth the bother. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' If it is actually 3-D, then keep it, but take out the reference part. It is not a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's not literally true as stated (I've seen it said that, to the H*R crew, the SB e-mails are more of a live-action deal than cartoons, and I agree.) And it's useless. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Rewrite'''. This needs to be trimmed. It's a little too much information. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:37, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. There's too many 4th wall breakdowns for any to be worth noting. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify, keep''' This is definitely worth noting, but needs to be severely trimmed or maybe noted elsewhere. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Of course the characters are aware that they have an audience: the entire concept of the SBEmails hinges on this. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' Good point DG. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Compy 386 on e-mail menu ====
When this e-mail was posted to Homestarrunner.com, the Compy 386 was still used for the e-mail menu and appeared to be working fine.

*'''Modify'''. It could bear noting that the email menu hadn't been changed yet, but as it's written, it's a tad confusing. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*<s>'''Hold until tomorrow'''. This one is meaningless until the new e-mail comes out, or at least until a full week has gone by. They may be trying to keep the fate of the Compy secret until everyone gets a chance to see the new e-mail. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)</s>
**Good point. Now it's tomorrow and the fate of the Compy is somewhat established, but because it's not associated with any other e-mail it may as well be noted here, but with a link to a page with the transcript of the new e-mail menu scene. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 07:41, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Delete''' (or at least modify to refer to the new e-mail main page) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 12:16, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Worth noting, and not too bad as is. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' because it's a little obvious (changing the menu would spoil the surprise) and the fun fact page is already cluttered. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)</s>
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' Not fun. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Compy 386?? (page title) ====
The page title is "Compy 386??" to reflect the fate of the Compy.

*'''Keep'''. I think it's worthy enough to note. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Keep'''. Any change in the standard browser window should be noted and kept 08:06 22 Nov 2004 (EST)
**The point is it's not any ''more'' notable than the other page titles. The page title is noted anyway; we don't have to make an additional fun fact about it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 07:41, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Accept.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Homsar's walking sound ====
The sound made when the "blocky" Strong Mad walks away is the same sound heard when Homsar walks towards the screen in "[[for kids]]".

*'''Delete'''. Wasn't this exact same fact listed somewhere else on the page already? It is interesting to note that M Strong Bad's walking noise is the exact same as Homsar's, but I don't think it's a specific reference. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep but Modify'''. I think it's interesting, but take out the specific reference because that's a common sound for homsar. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep but Modify'''. Again, it's not a specific reference, just the sound Homsar always makes when he walks. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Revise'''. It should be modified to remove the specific for kids reference because that is always the sound heard when Homsar walks. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. Chop off "for kids" part. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Reynold and Ghostbusters ====
Reynold trying on the Justice Rocket Backpack may be a nod to ''Ghostbusters II''.

==== No Homestar, Pom Pom, etc. ====
This one sorta goes without saying, but this is the only 'toon in the full-length section that does not feature some form of Homestar or (believe it or not) Pom-Pom, and the only one besides [[The King of Town DVD]] that does not feature any of the three Brothers Strong or Marzipan.

==== Page title ====
The page title is a reference to [[Malloween Commercial]].

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' How is this a reference?-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Accept:''' This probably is a reference to Marshie saying "Boogidy boogidy! I'll scare your dad!" in Malloween Commercial. I don't see why it should be removed. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' It could just as easily be a reference to the old song "The Streak" which had that as part of its chorus. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Revise'''. It needs to clearly state that it is ''quoting'' Malloween Commercial. Otherwise, I accept. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:51, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

Shin Guards are used to protect your shins while sparring in sports such as Karate and Kickboxing.

*'''Decline:''' I don't know why this is here.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' I think this is pretty obvious, and not very "fun" anyway.

==== Dripping towel noise ====
The dripping towel noise is the same as the dripping faucet noise from [[Main Page 14]].

*'''Accept:''' These sort of things are interesting, I guess...-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline.''' Not nearly interesting enough. Dripping water always sounds like dripping water. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' Sounds are re-used a lot anyway. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Locka-room ====
The "locka-room" may be a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad]], wherein phrases such as "Unda-Wears" appear.

*'''Decline:''' This may also be a reference to the way Coach Z's speaks, or any number of things.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' It is similar to TGS in a way, but I doubt it's a reference to TGS in particular(or a reference at all). --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' Doesn't seem like much of a reference to me. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I wouldn't call it a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Blue Star Ointment ====
Blue Star Ointment is a product used for ringworm and jock itch. It's frequently seen on the US version game show [[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]].

==== Old man remedies ====
"Grody old man remedies" may also refer to Peasant's Quest, in which the innkeeper has a closet full of "old man rub". Also, there is an "old lady rub" in [[Shopping for Danger]].

==== Breath-holding skill ====
Homestar's breath-holding skill was first seen on the [http://homestarrunner.com/yearbook.html yearbook] characters page.

*'''Decline:''' ehh...-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' I don't think that this is entirely relevant. Sure, Homestar did hold his breath on the Yearbook Characters Page, but that isn't really connected to him holding his breath in Fair-stival.
*'''Decline.''' This is a huge stretch, let's face it. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It is too trivial. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Philly Cheat Steak ====
"Philly Cheat-steak" is a reference to the popular sandwich "Philly Cheese Steak".

*'''Decline:''' Most people could figure this pun out for themselves.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Accept:''' I think that some people wouldn't know, though. It's not entirely self-evident.
*'''Accept.''' I think it's good enough to note. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Accept'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:51, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I've never heard of a Philly Cheese Steak. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Modify, accept''' I think it's fine if it's accompanied by a wikipedia reference. I think it's only "uber-obvious" to us fast food eating americans :) [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]]

==== KoT and SBemail ====
When Strong Bad talks to the King of Town he does it in the style of a Strong Bad Email.

*'''Decline:''' Again almost anyone could figure this out-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' You'd have to be completely new to H*R to not get this. And if you're reading the Wiki, chances are you're not new to this. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:51, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' I think it's an interesting idea. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' That's the joke. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Humminama What? ====
When Bubs says "Humminama-What?",that is a reference to Under Construction, where Stinkoman says something similar.

*'''Decline:''' Similar, but not noteworthy-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Creeping Death ====
The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' I can buy that this is a ref. to Metallica because TBC have other Metallica refs (see [[Carol]]). Also Creeping Death (caps) and silent auction (lower case) make sence together.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second''' [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It could just as easily be just a reference to general Halloween spookiness. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' - The phrase "creeping death" is neither unique to Metallica nor popularized by them. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 10:48, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== WEAR FLIP FLOPS. ====
In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

*'''Decline:''' This is just good policy, not a ref. to wearing another article of clothing.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*Without the green hair and red makeup, Strong Bad looks like the picture of Strong Bad with all white stuff on his face in the museum section of H*R website.
*'''Decline:''' Not relevant. -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 22:07, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' What? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Strong Mad's laugh ====
Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.

*'''Decline:''' So, they changed his laugh. -[[User:Your_Fuzzy_God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' Yep, Strong Mad's voice has changed. Are we going to start noting every single time Matt starts altering character voices? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 22:07, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' OK. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== "I blew it, man... I lose my touch." ====
(After the bit about Homsar as Kumar from "Bottle Rocket")

In addition, his line ("I blew it, man... I lose my touch") is one of Kumar's lines from the film.

=== [[Broken Compy Menu]] ===

==== Large Blank Space ====
If you scroll all the way down the list of emails, there is a large blank space. This could be intentional.

*'''Decline:''' Seems unlikely that it is intentional, or any more than a fluke of Flash Actionscript. -[[User:Nerdular Nerdence]]
**'''Second'''. It may be intentional. To bad nobody cares, though. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Fun Facts */ Fun Fact STUFF'd

[[Image:Shotgunned_menu.png|thumb|Homestar, did you come here for a reason?]]

'''Strong Bad Email?'''

Homestar Runner complains about pricing while Bubs tries to unload the shotgunned [[Compy 386]]. The menu was created after the Compy 386 died.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]]
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
''{The shot opens with the shotgunned Compy 386 with a piece of paper taped to the front of it listing all of the current Strong Bad emails. After about 10 seconds, Homestar Runner starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? ''{camera zooms out so we can see Homestar and the rest of the concession stand, with Bubs nowhere in sight}'' Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!

''{Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Doot doot doo... alright, I'm back!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Nothing!

'''BUBS:''' Who were you just talkin' to?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?

'''BUBS:''' Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?

''{camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, ''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}'' did you come up here for a reason?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, freedom?

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A low-priced automobile!

'''BUBS:''' Well, why didn't you say so? I've got one right here! ''{Bubs gestures toward the shotgunned Compy}'' Just in! Fresh from the factory goodness!

''{camera changes back to the interior view of the concession stand. Homestar performs several double takes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you trying to sell me a lemon?

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, I'm not gonna lie to you.

''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' You're not gonna find a better deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sold! Sold! ''{deeper voice}'' Sold!

''{The camera cuts back to the menu taped on the broken Compy 386}''

==Fun Facts==
*If you let the animation start, the menu has a bug that causes the emails to count up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title will direct you to the email one previous to it. This also means [[some kinda robot]] directed to 'sbemail0.html' and [[virus]] could not be accessed from the menu. Also, [[flashback]] takes you to 'emailahundred.html' instead of 'sbemailahundred.html', whether or not you let the animation play.
*This toon replaced the Compy 386 email menu after its destruction in "virus", and doubled as the replacement email menu.
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "sbemail.swf," it was "sbemail_shotgunned.swf"
**This might be so it can still be accessed when the menu is replaced.
*When the Tandy 400 exploded, [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
*The Compy 386 is missing the contrast dial.
*The line, "I'm not gonna lie to you," spoken by both Homestar and Bubs, was also spoken by Homsar in [[for kids]].

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Nerdular Nerdence — Thu, 25 Nov 2004 16:49:38 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence:

__NOTOC__

The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's notable, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pok�mon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[virus]] ===
==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Decline.''' Isn't this already noted in the transcript? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' I should know this was noted in the transcript because I was the one who wrote it up and put it in there. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:32, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Not much of a reference, more like an occurance. Agree that this is noted in the transcript. [[HRWiki:Once_And_Only_Once|Once and Only Once]] issue. Reason: Duplicate information. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]]
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I didn't notice this. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**On the other hand, perhaps you should have. ;) The general rule is if it's in the transcript, it shouldn't be noted again unless there's additional information to note. In this case, there isn't. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:12, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== One flash file ====
The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*'''Modify and keep.''' This is a depart from the normal for The Brothers Chaps but could use a re-wording.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep.''' I don't really know if it needs modifying, but it definitely should be kept, as TBC have never done it before. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Linux ====
[[Wikipedia:Linux|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written for the [[Wikipedia:Intel 80386|386]] by [[Wikipedia:Linus Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]] in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:GNU/Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

*'''Modify and keep'''. While I think Pi is interesting enough to include, I don't think the "infinite number of pages" part is necessary.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is interesting enough. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Out in the black ====
Strong Bad being outside of "normal space" (where he exclaims "it is cold out here!") could be a reference to a bug/feature in Peasant's Quest where you can also end up "out in the black".

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's not literally true as stated (I've seen it said that, to the H*R crew, the SB e-mails are more of a live-action deal than cartoons, and I agree.) And it's useless. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

**'''Second.''' Good point DG. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Compy 386 on e-mail menu ====
When this e-mail was posted to Homestarrunner.com, the Compy 386 was still used for the e-mail menu and appeared to be working fine.

*'''Modify'''. It could bear noting that the email menu hadn't been changed yet, but as it's written, it's a tad confusing. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*<s>'''Hold until tomorrow'''. This one is meaningless until the new e-mail comes out, or at least until a full week has gone by. They may be trying to keep the fate of the Compy secret until everyone gets a chance to see the new e-mail. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)</s>
**Good point.

===[[Halloween Fairstival]]===

==== Page title ====
The page title is a reference to [[Malloween Commercial]].

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' How is this a reference?-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Accept:''' This probably is a reference to Marshie saying "Boogidy boogidy! I'll scare your dad!" in Malloween Commercial. I don't see why it should be removed. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' It could just as easily be a reference to the old song "The Streak" which had that as part of its chorus. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Revise'''. It needs to clearly state that it is ''quoting'' Malloween Commercial. Otherwise, I accept. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:51, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Shin guards ====
Shin Guards are used to protect your shins while sparring in sports such as Karate and Kickboxing.

*'''Decline:''' I don't know why this is here.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' I think this is pretty obvious, and not very "fun" anyway.
*'''Decline.''' Eh, no. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Dripping towel noise ====
The dripping towel noise is the same as the dripping faucet noise from [[Main Page 14]].

*'''Accept:''' These sort of things are interesting, I guess...-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline.''' Not nearly interesting enough. Dripping water always sounds like dripping water. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:57, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Sounds are re-used a lot anyway. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Locka-room ====
The "locka-room" may be a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad]], wherein phrases such as "Unda-Wears" appear.

*'''Decline:''' This may also be a reference to the way Coach Z's speaks, or any number of things.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' It is similar to TGS in a way, but I doubt it's a reference to TGS in particular(or a reference at all). --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' Doesn't seem like much of a reference to me. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I wouldn't call it a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Blue Star Ointment ====
Blue Star Ointment is a product used for ringworm and jock itch. It's frequently seen on the US version game show [[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]].

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' Where does TPIR come in to this?-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

==== Old man remedies ====
"Grody old man remedies" may also refer to Peasant's Quest, in which the innkeeper has a closet full of "old man rub". Also, there is an "old lady rub" in [[Shopping for Danger]].

*'''Decline:''' This is a stretch.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

==== Breath-holding skill ====
Homestar's breath-holding skill was first seen on the [http://homestarrunner.com/yearbook.html yearbook] characters page.

*'''Decline:''' ehh...-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline:''' I don't think that this is entirely relevant. Sure, Homestar did hold his breath on the Yearbook Characters Page, but that isn't really connected to him holding his breath in Fair-stival.
*'''Decline.''' This is a huge stretch, let's face it. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It is too trivial. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Philly Cheat Steak ====
"Philly Cheat-steak" is a reference to the popular sandwich "Philly Cheese Steak".

*'''Decline:''' Most people could figure this pun out for themselves.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Accept:''' I think that some people wouldn't know, though. It's not entirely self-evident.
*'''Accept.''' I think it's good enough to note. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Accept.''' I've never heard of a Philly Cheese Steak. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Modify, accept''' I think it's fine if it's accompanied by a wikipedia reference. I think it's only "uber-obvious" to us fast food eating americans :) [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]]

==== KoT and SBemail ====
When Strong Bad talks to the King of Town he does it in the style of a Strong Bad Email.

*'''Decline:''' Again almost anyone could figure this out-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' You'd have to be completely new to H*R to not get this. And if you're reading the Wiki, chances are you're not new to this. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:51, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' That's the joke. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Humminama What? ====
When Bubs says "Humminama-What?",that is a reference to Under Construction, where Stinkoman says something similar.

*'''Decline:''' Similar, but not noteworthy-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Creeping Death ====
The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' I can buy that this is a ref. to Metallica because TBC have other Metallica refs (see [[Carol]]). Also Creeping Death (caps) and silent auction (lower case) make sence together.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second''' [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It could just as easily be just a reference to general Halloween spookiness. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' - The phrase "creeping death" is neither unique to Metallica nor popularized by them. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 10:48, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== WEAR FLIP FLOPS. ====
In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

*'''Decline:''' This is just good policy, not a ref. to wearing another article of clothing.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]
*'''Decline.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*Without the green hair and red makeup, Strong Bad looks like the picture of Strong Bad with all white stuff on his face in the museum section of H*R website.
*'''Decline:''' Not relevant. -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 22:07, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

**'''Second.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Strong Mad's laugh ====
Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.

*'''Decline:''' So, they changed his laugh. -[[User:Your_Fuzzy_God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' Yep, Strong Mad's voice has changed. Are we going to start noting every single time Matt starts altering character voices? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 22:07, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' OK. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

=== [[Broken Compy Menu]] ===

==== Large Blank Space ====
If you scroll all the way down the list of emails, there is a large blank space. This could be intentional.

*'''Decline:''' Seems unlikely that it is intentional, or any more than a fluke of Flash Actionscript. -[[Nerdular Nerdence]]

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Nerdular Nerdence — Thu, 25 Nov 2004 16:48:13 GMT

Nerdular Nerdence: Added Broken Compy Menu section, stuff'd a funfact

__NOTOC__

The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's notable, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pok�mon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[virus]] ===
==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Decline.''' Isn't this already noted in the transcript? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' I should know this was noted in the transcript because I was the one who wrote it up and put it in there. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:32, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Not much of a reference, more like an occurance. Agree that this is noted in the transcript. [[HRWiki:Once_And_Only_Once|Once and Only Once]] issue. Reason: Duplicate information. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]]
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I didn't notice this. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**On the other hand, perhaps you should have. ;) The general rule is if it's in the transcript, it shouldn't be noted again unless there's additional information to note. In this case, there isn't. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:12, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== One flash file ====
The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*'''Modify and keep.''' This is a depart from the normal for The Brothers Chaps but could use a re-wording.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep.''' I don't really know if it needs modifying, but it definitely should be kept, as TBC have never done it before. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because Homestar grabbing the words makes it pretty clear to anybody whom this would have any meaning that they are a single Flash file. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. Dito. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Modify and accept.''' I think it should be changed to note that this is the ''only'' email in which the menu is part of the same flash file. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' It's an interesting fun fact. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Quadratic formula ====
[[Wikipedia:Quadratic formula|The quadratic formula]] is a mathematical equation used for finding solutions to quadratic equations.

*'''Delete'''. Not meaningful, fairly obvious [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Interesting.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. See Tom's note on it. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Too obvious. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''- Not many peple know that --[[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
**You kidding?!?! I learned the quadratic formula in middle school! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:00, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. It's probably one of the most well known mathmatical formulas, right up there with the pythagorean theorem.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''. This isn't fun at all. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' Neither fun nor obscure. -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Although I didn't know this, it is irrelevant. It is a bit like saying 'There are computers in real life that are like Strong Bad's computer'. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' On grounds of irrelevance. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 05:04, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Linux ====
[[Wikipedia:Linux|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written for the [[Wikipedia:Intel 80386|386]] by [[Wikipedia:Linus Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]] in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:GNU/Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).

*'''Modify and keep'''. This seems a bit long winded. It needs to be trimmed down.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. I agree that it's interesting and that it probably could be trimmed down somewhat. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept''' --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. Needs the trimming. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''.→''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Accept.''' - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
*'''Modify, keep'''. What about just linking to the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Linux]] article while mentioning, quite simply, it's an operating system. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 12:59, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

*'''Modify and keep'''. While I think Pi is interesting enough to include, I don't think the "infinite number of pages" part is necessary.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' Pi is pretty interesting in and of itself. I'm not so sure it needs altering, though. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete''' Way too obvious. --[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 15:13, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. A little too obvious. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep'''. The "infinite number of pages" part isn't needed. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
* '''Decline''' because anybody who could understand the concept of pi would probably already know about it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Decline.''' It is supposed to be a joke, not a hidden fun fact. Most people would realise that it is pi. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Oh, a wise guy, eh? ====
Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]], where [[Wikipedia:Curly|Curly]] uses the very same phrase often.

*'''Delete.''' I'm not convinced that no one besides Curly has used this phrase.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' This one seems kind of vague, though it definitely is a phrase associated with The Three Stooges. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''. I think it's good, it's interesting and not something everybody knows. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete.''' No evidence it's a reference. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. I don't think it's a reference. --[[User:Paliosun|Paliosun]] 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because the phrase has also been used in many other places other than The Three Stooges and H*R. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 18:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep'''. Classic Three Stooges line. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
*'''Accept'''. I didn't know this before. I think it's interesting. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 15:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is interesting enough. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== Out in the black ====
Strong Bad being outside of "normal space" (where he exclaims "it is cold out here!") could be a reference to a bug/feature in Peasant's Quest where you can also end up "out in the black".

*'''Delete'''. Doubtful.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Seems rather unlikely. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. Not likely, that was a glitch. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Delete'''. See previous. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Delete''' [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I don't think it is a reference. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Compy 386 on e-mail menu ====
When this e-mail was posted to Homestarrunner.com, the Compy 386 was still used for the e-mail menu and appeared to be working fine.

==== WEAR FLIP FLOPS. ====
In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

*'''Decline:''' This is just good policy, not a ref. to wearing another article of clothing.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

*Without the green hair and red makeup, Strong Bad looks like the picture of Strong Bad with all white stuff on his face in the museum section of H*R website.

==== Strong Mad's laugh ====
Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.

*'''Decline:''' So, they changed his laugh. -[[User:Your_Fuzzy_God|Fuzzy]]
**'''Second:''' -[[User: Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' Yep, Strong Mad's voice has changed. Are we going to start noting every single time Matt starts altering character voices? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

=== Broken Compy Menu ===

==== Large Blank Space ====
If you scroll all the way down the list of emails, there is a large blank space. This could be intentional.

*'''Decline:''' Seems unlikely that it is intentional, or any more than a fluke of Flash Actionscript. -[[Nerdular Nerdence]]

Broken Compy Menu

Nerdular Nerdence: /* Fun Facts */ Further experimentation reveals...

[[Image:Shotgunned_menu.png|thumb|Homestar, did you come here for a reason?]]

'''Strong Bad Email?'''

Homestar Runner complains about pricing while Bubs tries to unload the shotgunned [[Compy 386]]. The menu was created after the Compy 386 died.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]]
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
''{The shot opens with the shotgunned Compy 386 with a piece of paper taped to the front of it listing all of the current Strong Bad emails. After about 10 seconds, Homestar Runner starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? ''{camera zooms out so we can see Homestar and the rest of the concession stand, with Bubs nowhere in sight}'' Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!

''{Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Doot doot doo... alright, I'm back!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Nothing!

'''BUBS:''' Who were you just talkin' to?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?

'''BUBS:''' Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?

''{camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, ''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}'' did you come up here for a reason?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, freedom?

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A low-priced automobile!

'''BUBS:''' Well, why didn't you say so? I've got one right here! ''{Bubs gestures toward the shotgunned Compy}'' Just in! Fresh from the factory goodness!

''{camera changes back to the interior view of the concession stand. Homestar performs several double takes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you trying to sell me a lemon?

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, I'm not gonna lie to you.

''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' You're not gonna find a better deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sold! Sold! ''{deeper voice}'' Sold!

''{The camera cuts back to the menu taped on the broken Compy 386}''

==Fun Facts==
*If you let the animation start, the menu has a bug that causes the emails to count up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title will direct you to the email one previous to it. This also means [[some kinda robot]] directed to 'sbemail0.html' and [[virus]] could not be accessed from the menu. Also, [[flashback]] takes you to 'emailahundred.html' instead of 'sbemailahundred.html', whether or not you let the animation play.
*This toon replaced the Compy 386 email menu after its destruction in "virus", and doubled as the replacement email menu.
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "sbemail.swf," it was "sbemail_shotgunned.swf"
**This might be so it can still be accessed when the menu is replaced.
*When the Tandy 400 exploded, [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
*The Compy 386 is missing the contrast dial.
*The line, "I'm not gonna lie to you," spoken by both Homestar and Bubs, was also spoken by Homsar in [[for kids]].
*If you scroll all the way down the list of emails, there is a large blank space. This could be intentional.
