SBLOUNSKCHED!: /* "Little Birdie" song? Really? */ Dance sequence argument.

== Homestar's pants/leg ==

When I first watched this, I'm ''certain'' I heard "Hitchin' a ride on Homestar's ''pants''". When I listen now, it's obviously "leg". Did anyone else have the same experience? Did they pull a fast one? Are there two versions? Am I just crazy? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

:It would "bust" the proverbial "rhyme" if it were true. [[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 04:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::Neither one is a good rhyme. The song is inconsistent. "Fire" and "choir" rhyme, but other similar instances don't ("leg"/"pants" and "job"; "gymnasium" and "do"). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I just don't think that it's a rhyming song. I sounds better without the rhymes in my opinion. {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 15:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:::It's definitely a rhyming song, it just doesn't consistently rhyme on the off lines. I never heard any version with "pants", but it was pretty clear after coming here that I'd missed the 'toon's release by several hours. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, according to the Last-Modified dates, the SWF ''was'' updated about 50 minutes after the toon's release – the HTML page was last modified 1:55:34 UTC, the wiki article was created 2:18 UTC (so the toon was definitely released already), then the SWF was updated at 2:45:42 UTC. Whether it really said "pants" in those first 50 minutes isn't something we can confirm unless someone happened to save a copy of that first version. But if anyone else can confirm they heard "pants" first time around, I'm comfortable with adding it to Trivia. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:40, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::I dunno, I watched it almost immediately after the page was created (how "almost" I unfortunately can't confirm, although I'm pretty sure it was less than 27 minutes..) and I definitely heard leg. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 22:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Yeah, I made the forum article before the wiki article was even created and have the "leg" line as one of the options. So either the wiki article was created after the update, or it wasn't changed. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Sad ==

The page shows Strong Sad as one of the characters, but I didn't see him and he's not referenced. Am I missing something? [[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 03:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:You can see his foot sticking out from under the pile of burning mattresses. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::Ah, I see it. Perhaps a description of the mattress fire could be added. [[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 03:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Does anyone else think its a good idea to make this another case of [[Strong Sad's Death]]? His corpse is popping up everywhere! --[[User:Lustmyeyes|lustmyeyes <3]] 07:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::::His leg is still twitching, so it's not quite death. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:45, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Isn't that just... well, semantics? It's still a pretty clear death reference, even if he's still technically barely alive. Besides, a body can twitch after it's dead if the nerves are activated. --[[Special:Contributions/141.224.237.41|141.224.237.41]] 13:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Agreed with the above; even though he's (probably) not quite dead, being stuck under a pile of flaming mattresses for a couple days would have to be considered an attempt to kill him. And a quick description of the fire should be added to the transcript.[[Special:Contributions/71.254.118.93|71.254.118.93]] 03:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::The description of the fire is on the visuals page where it belongs, and again, his soolnd is clearly moving. The [[Strong Sad's Death]] page clearly says that its scope is only cases where it's as if strong sad is already dead. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:52, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::You seem to be deliberately ignoring the fact that a body can twitch after death. And that there's no way anyone can survive a two day mattress fire. But, anyways, this is clearly ''referencing'' Strong Sad's death, even if, in some people's minds, it doesn't fit the page as currently written. Because, if it isn't a reference, why is it even there? {{User:Trlkly/sig}} 07:18, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::Except there's no way anyone could survive having a heavy lourde dropped on them, but apparently Homsar did. Normal laws of physics don't always apply here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:53, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::I completely agree with Heimstern. As to "if it isn't a reference, why is it even there": It's there because it's funny. That's all. Homestar Runner is not a dictionary where everything has to be referencing something. It's just a funny little internet cartoon. Parts of it are completely random and don't make any sense at all, up to the point where TBC purposefully use discontinuity to confuse and/or amuse the fans. --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 14:48, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
:Let me quote Gimli (Peter Jackson version of Two Towers) here for a moment: "He's twitching because he's got mah axe embedded in his nervous system!" It's possible for definitely-dead bodies to twitch for a number of reasons, including gas buildup, external stimuli to the nervous system, and others. I don't see why this example can't appear on the SS Death (that's a good ship name) page, as long as it's got a "possibly" or something for mention of the uncertainty. That page itself was created as "imagined" death, was it not? In almost all of the examples on that page, Strong Sad is ''definitely'' still alive.--{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 13:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Mad Uses Good Grammar? ==

Looks like ol' Graw Mad is using complete sentences now. If my math is right, he did it twice in this toon. That's probably a new record! :[[Special:Contributions/68.32.116.46|68.32.116.46]] 04:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:Possibly, but this is hardly the first time he's used a complete sentence, and hardly [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ the place for discussing this] either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::He's actually used a complete sentence before, as in [[Ever and More!]] - I CAN LET OUT THE WAIST A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU! (11 words, 12 syllables). And yes, this discussion should go to the forum.--[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 17:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't know, I was struck by that in this toon also, and thought maybe it deserved its own page if it doesn't have one already. He's come a long way from not being able to say "Dennis" to using complete sentences with 4-syllable words ("motorcycles").[[Special:Contributions/71.254.118.93|71.254.118.93]] 21:15, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

If you turn it up high enough it's pretty clear the singer says "The day is done (or gone) so won't you close that barbecue...lid." Not "once you". {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 04:23, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

==New Evolution==
I think The Cheat's appearence has changed, do you? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
:I noticed a little, but wait until the next toon. If it's still like it is now, new evolution. If it goes back to what it was before, mark it on this page under Remarks. {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 15:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

== Audio Quality and Sofa ==

Anyone think the audio in this cartoon is lower quality than usual? Also, the sofa Strong Bad and Strong Mad are sitting on is larger in the end scene than the beginning scene. [[Special:Contributions/128.172.204.174|128.172.204.174]] 23:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

== Bubs' Stand ==

Should this location be added to the locations in the toon? I mean, it only appeared in PbtC form, but that didn't stop Bubs and Coach Z from making it to the Characters list. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

:Ok, thanks {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 05:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== Important Things? ==

The "ATM Machine" (complete with "That's kind of redundant") was a joke on Important Things with Dimetri Martin a few weeks back. Might it be a reference?
:Unlikely, it's a pretty common thing to joke about. There's even a [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|pseudo-syndrome]] about it that's linked to in explanations. i think that's enough. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:32, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Where? When? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
::::OK, it shouldn't be plural, but it says "PIN number" on the downloads menu. {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 19:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::This is true. And they're both used in regards to an ATM (The downloads menu is ATM-themed). Is that notable enough to be remarked on? -[[Special:Contributions/170.223.0.54|170.223.0.54]] 21:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Not yet. {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 19:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

== Further Redundance ==

The "2" at the end of the song is completely useless and an example of today's bad grammar. It could be considered redundant, further deepening the "ATM Machine" joke at the end.

That grates on me as much as "Where's it at".
: Artistic license (and the need to rhyme) make this one perfectly excusable. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
: PS. Don't pretend that bad grammar is a modern phenomenon. It's been around for centuries. It's only more ''obvious'' today because, with more widespread education and the internet, anyone can write, and anyone can read it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== "Little Birdie" song? Really? ==

So, one of the real world references say the song is "strongly reminiscent" of "Little Birdie" from the Peanuts special A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I see absolutely no resemblance at all since the songs are totally different style and have very different sound. I'd think this song reminds me more of the Sweaty R&B song. Can anybody shed some light on the "strong resemblance" or should this be removed? (the song is at 7:07 of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51F0L_LVXBE and begining of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZFFF4tSXd0 -- [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 13:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

::::I personally see a strong resemblance in the first video, but I'm only one voice.--[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 15:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::I immediately thought of Little Birdie when I saw this video. The voice used is similar, both songs open with the bass line, are about the same tempo, have similar drumbeats, and contain lyrics made of questions addressed to a yellow character who speaks without words. Besides, The Cheat flying with the Woodstock dotted line would be out of place were it not part of a larger toon-wide reference. --CaseyEllo
::::::Well, the scene where The Cheat first leaves the house is strongly peanuts style, both songs have basketball scenes, not to mention the flying like woodstock thing would be totally out of place. I think there's a definite peanuts reference here, though i'm not entirely sure that little birdie is it. Does anyone know if they ever did a different song that's closer to this than little birdie is? If not, then i'd have to go with little birdie as a reference. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::The way they leave the house is pretty much always Peanuts style. The musical style of this song bears virtually no resemblance to "Little Birdie." I found the clip as soon as I saw the reference on here and I thought I had found the wrong song. Content, style -- neither one matches up with Little Birdie. A dotted line behind The Cheat and an oft-used "leaving the house" shot aren't enough to make this a reference to that song.[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 14:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Both these links are [[death|dead]]. Is there a video anywhere else? If someone finds one, it probably would be a good idea to link to it from the article. {{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 23:38, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
:That would be bad idea, seeing as they were removed from YouTube for copyright violation. [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 23:46, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Heres a link the the song again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRwEfbpO5CY . I couldnt find one with the scenes that accompany the song in the Thanksgiving special, but if my memory serves me right, snoopy wakes up woodstock to help him set up the table, they procrastinate by playing basketball, woodstock gets crushed by the ball, they get a pingpong table out...then i think the rest is just snoopy playing pingpong against himself and fighting a lawnchair.
I have to still disagree about this being a reference to the song. As said above, they always leave houses "peanuts style"...thats just how they draw it. They fact that they both play B-ball is a bit of a stretch... is every cartoon where someone plays b-ball to music a peanuts reference then?? And the songs are COMPLETELY different style... there are countless songs that begin with basslines that have steady tempos. and "little birdie" is jazz while this definitely not jazz.
Though I agree that the dotted line flight is a woodstock reference, the song is just not at all alike. [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 14:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Has no one noticed that the dance right before the woodstock lines is very reminiscent of the way the Peanuts characters dance? Especially Strong Mad. It's been so long since I saw any Peanuts/Charlie Brown videos that I can't remember which character it is he's dancing like, or I'd edit the main page myself, but he's dancing like *someone* from Peanuts. If anyone sees this part of the reference more clearly, I think it'd be worth noting on the page. I think it also provides further argument in favor of the Little Birdie reference, which I definitely see. Just because the style of music is R&B instead of Jazz doesn't discount a reference; you can reference something without copying it exactly. Woodstock flying with dashed lines, Peanuts-esque dance sequence, and an identical theme of questioning the strange character who can't talk and is always doing things that other people don't know about seem to be a pretty strong reference to me. It's just an ''homage'', and not a ''clone.'' {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 12:04, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== Nobody knows vs. But he knows ==

::::I have to agree, unlike the other music videos, such as secret song, where it's clearly an overlayed image, and these peoples try to fade me, where it's clearly presented in the style of a commercial music video, this toon is presented much more as though it simply follows The Cheat during a given day, with musical accompaniment. There's nothing really else in the song (aside from the self-contained PBtC section) that implies visual alteration (well, maybe the part that shows the music score). At any rate, I think this instance is notable enough to be an exception to the general "exclude music visual" rule. -[[Special:Contributions/170.223.0.54|170.223.0.54]] 21:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

::The singer isn't supposed to be noticed by the characters normally. The singer is singing to the toon, and this means that the characters are aware they are in a toon, meaning that they know they are not real, meaning a fourth wall break. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 16:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
:::After re-watching, I'd agree that when The Cheat has a direct interaction with the singer (about lay-up drills), that could be construed as a fourth wall break. I still do not consider the entire toon to be one, in particular, I don't think that when Marzipan or Homestar happen to be singing along constitutes a fourth wall break.

:It's just you. I checked frame by frame. {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 18:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::Um, leg? What on earth are you talking about? The Cheat has [[Physiology of The Cheat|sclipula]]. —[[Special:Contributions/64.198.255.1|64.198.255.1]] 18:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Yeah I was too busy to do the frame by frame review at the time, but looking again it must have been just me - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 02:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

== That's Redundant! ==

Considering that fact that [[Where U Goin' 2? Visuals]] has been created to describe all the visuals that occur during this toon, is there any need to include ''{descriptive tags like these}'' on this article? For example, [[Happy Dethemberween]] just contains the lyrics and describes the way they are sung. There is no mention of any close-ups or zooms. So should they all be removed from this article? Alternatively, is there even a need for a visual page if not a lot happens in the music video? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:I'm of the second opinion myself. I don't think there is too much going on in this toon visually to put it all on the main page. -[[Special:Contributions/170.223.0.54|170.223.0.54]] 18:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::Since we have a song interspersed with dialog, I think having notes during the dialog parts is appropriate (see [[Trogday 08]]). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Which is exactly how it is currently set up. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:06, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::::Unfortunately, there's a problem, and one that had been bothering me significantly. The "dialogue" in the middle of the song is clearly meant to be recitative (most of it even rhymes!), so it seems silly to include the stage directions during those and not the rest of the song. I'm for nixing all the stage directions except those involving Strong Bad and Strong Mad's conversation. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:21, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

== Mp3? ==

hey im wondering. i know there isn't an actual mp3 for the song but i made this one: http://misc.stickybomb.org/wereugoing2.mp3
maybe we could add it? --[[User:Girrbyte|[[Image:girrbutton.png]]]] 20:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks for the mp3, but I don't know if it can go on the age or not. {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 21:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
:Chances are TBC will put up the song as a [[Quote of the Week|QotW]] in the near future. They usually do. --[[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 21:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== The Song ==

This could just be me, but I think it sounds just a bit like the [[wikipedia:Barney Miller|Barney Miller]] theme song.

-Alex H. --[[Special:Contributions/99.172.138.193|99.172.138.193]] 21:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

== Cardboard Homestar ==

"His" head moves in the beginning of the scene, but there is nothing controlling it. Is this a psuedocharacter?
:[[Lack of visible arms|Marzipan is controlling it]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
:Also, we use the term "pseudocharacter" to describe any inanimate object that the main characters treat like a character. Thus, even if Cardboard Homestar didn't move in the slightest, he'd still be counted as a pseudocharacter in this toon because he's dressed in robes and "singing" in Marzipan's choir. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
::While cardboard Homestar may not be counted as a psuedocharacter, it can also be noted that marzipan usually has a string and "pulls" it to shake to top half of Homestar. In this instance, there was no string seen, unless marzipan had replaced the string with a completely invisible one. Also, marzipan was playing [[Carol]] at the same time, which means Homestar was moving by himself or somebody offscreen was controlling him. VmKid, Out. [[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 02:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Marzipan never uses a string, homestar does for cardboard marzi. Even so, like Jay said, it's a pseudocharacter either way. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Marzipan has also played her guitar while manipulating Cardboard Homestar [[Quality_Time|before]] [[Special:Contributions/123.2.84.34|123.2.84.34]] 16:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
:::I understand your points. (By the way, I made a mistake in my first post. it's supposed to say "May or may not be counted as a psuedo.) Anyway, It's possible that another character could be manipulating cardboard homestar by their hand holding his head, who also has a [[lack of visible arms]]. seeing as marzipan was holding carol and playing it at the same time, It is safe to argue that a second character like [[Homsar]] or the [[KOT]] was outside of the frame, and reaching in to move homestar. I don't mention homestar himself because at the time of [[Quality Time]], Marzi was playing carol and having CH shake while homestar was locked in her closet. Now that I think aout it, even [[Strong Bad]] could be controlling CH, using the crystal on his forehead (As in [[super power]]). [[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 17:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

== Who is the singer? ==

He sounds an awful lot like [[Tenerence Love]] to me.
--[[Special:Contributions/98.208.141.126|98.208.141.126]] 06:45, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
:It's the same guy doing all the voices, so naturally some are gonna sound similar to others... That said, while I *agree*, if TBC had intended for it to be Tenerence Love, they'd have just come right out and said so... So, it's just speculation. -{{User:YK/sig}} 06:58, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

== Automatic/Automated? ==

I wonder if it should be noted that the acronym ATM actually stands for "Automated Teller Machine", not "Automatic" as the last image of the toon suggests. :[[Special:Contributions/68.32.116.46|68.32.116.46]] 21:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:The latter is a variant of the former, but [[AHD:61/8/A0500800.html|both forms]] are still correct. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== The Cheat's Eyes ==

Does anyone else think that The Cheat's eyes are animated differently in this toon than they normally are? Also, this is the first time in 2D animation that The Cheat has given a full smile, like in the 3D animation. every other time it has been the back of his normal frown pointing up. i also noticed that this was completely overlooked as an instance of The Cheat smiling, but when he flew off the brick wall, his normal smile was noted accordingly. are either of these two things notable? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

== Transcript ==

''{The screen wavers over name tag cards that read "Hello my name is a new homestar runner cartoon" and all the staff, then cut to the luau, with a card reading:}''

<blockquote>You're invited to 
a Meatless Luau! 
 
featuring: 
Ancient Hawaiian Poetry 
read by Strong Sad 
accompanied by 
Marzipan on her Ukulele 
(pronounced oo-koo-lay-lay) 
 
When: TODAY Where: MARZIPAN'S</blockquote>

''{Eventually the card spins out, revealing a banner reading "Aloha!" Marzipan is walking to some cooking tofu. Homestar is standing behind the gazebo, facing away from the viewer.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-lay-lay. Mm! Lookin' pretty good. Homestar, come up here right now and watch the tofu, please.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhh... Hang on. I'm um... doing... something.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Chop-chop! Everyone's gonna be here any minute.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Marzipan, I hate to tell you this, but... I don't think anyone's coming to your party. I think they're all going to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast!!

''{The invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast spins onto screen as the old CBS Special music plays. It reads:}''

<blockquote>Your invited to a 
Marshmallow Roast 
 
when: same day as marzipan's stupid luau 
 
where: my backyard 
 
time: same time as marzipan's stupid luau 
</blockquote>

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?! He scheduled something on the same day as the luau?

''{scene transition to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man you guys, this party's gonna be crazy-go-nuts! Check it out! I've got the marshmallows ''{spreads his hand over said marshmallows}'', I've got all the latest releases from the artists of today ''{cut to boombox playing [[Poot-Slap]]}'', and I've carefully filled out everybody's name tags. ''{close up of picnic table filled with name tags that all say "Hello, my name is Crap for Brains"}'' Oh, crap!! I forgot the wood! Come on guys, I know where we can hork some.

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan's backyard}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-l ''{Homestar interrupts with a sigh and comes over but Marzipan continues to sing}'' ay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've gotta stop drinkin' so much melonade. I think I have a serious problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''You're'' gonna have a problem if you don't monitor this tofu. I have to tune my oo-koo-lay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay. ''{singing to himself}'' A doo doo, a doo doo doo, a doot doo doo doo. A bab-dib do doo doo—

''{In the distance, Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat poke their heads onto the screen from the left, looking at the gazebo. The camera pans right to remove them from the shot, and Strong Sad is revealed standing on the other side of the fire.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, about 20 minutes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, okay. ''{takes a step away}'' That's weird.

''{scene transition to Strong Bad's backyard. Poot Slap is playing in the background. Everybody is wearing their "Crap for Brains" name tag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking past the Poopsmith, Bubs and Coach Z)'' Ah, Crap for Brains, glad to see you could make it! Oh, Crap for Brains, you lookin' good! Now, let's get this freakin' party started! ''{Lights a match}'' We'll just get this fire started here. With a little match, and a little fire. ''{holds match up to firewood, but it doesn't light}'' And this should probably be working already. Um, and I don't know why this isn't working.

''{Cut to Marzipan's gazebo where Strong Sad is holding a book that says "Polynesian Prose."}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Kallo koo-koo lay kua ka loo ''{cut to the tofu where Homestar is standing. Strong Sad's poetry can be heard in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{His head keeps drooping down, then coming back up, resisting the urge to fall asleep.}'' Zzzzz... Huh! Soooo... Zzzzz... Huh! Boooooooooring.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's roast, where eleven burnt matches are sitting on the ground. Strong Bad is kneeling down next to the stack of firewood with a lit match}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{frustrated}'' UUUUUGH! ''{grumbling}'' Stupid matches, freakin' light the fire!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{rubs belly}'' UUUUUUG. HUNGRY!

'''BUBS:''' I'm with Strong Mad! I feel about as hungry as The King of Town on a Saturday!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm trying! I'm trying! Gtch! ''{taunting voice}'' Hello, my name is piece of wood and I don't want to catch fire. ''{zoom out}'' Hello, my name is little ''match'', and I don't want to ''make'' a fire! ''{completely aggravated}'' HELLOOOO! MY NAME IS FIRE, AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY!!!!!

''{Strong Bad knocks a log at the viewer. Homestar then walks onto the scene and Pom Pom looks at him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm coming to your stupid party.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom! I love Marzipan and everything, but it was terrible!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I don't think she'll notice I'm gone.

''{cut to Marzipan's gazebo, where Marzipan is playing her ukelele and Strong Sad is reading poetry. Next to the tofu cooking is another piece of tofu, with Homestar's head drawn on it. It is on top of a piece of tofu which has Homestar's body drawn on it. They are being held up by two long sticks. The tofu cooking catches fire.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad's roast. Strong Bad is trying yet again, and unsuccessfully, to make a fire.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What kind of wood you usin' there, Strong Bad? 'Cause ya know, I know a guy who—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man, I stole this stuff from Marzipan's backyard.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh. You didn't get it from behind the gazebo, did you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it all started when I decided to drink 32 glasses of melonade...

'''BUBS:''' Look! There's a fire over there!

''{suddenly, smoke arises from somewhere, then everyone looks at each other and runs, except for Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah, come back, you guys, things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!

''{Everyone runs to the source of the fire - which happens to be Marzipan's still-flaming tofu. They roast their marshmallows over it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Look, Strong Sad, everybody's here!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, how glorious.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, everybody, how's the tofu? ''{Cut to Coach Z, Pom Pom, and Bubs chewing on marshmallows, then back to Marzipan}'' Everyone loves tofu!

''{Musical sting, then transition to Strong Bad's place, where he has finally given up and is trying to roast a marshmallow over a lit match. Scattered bags of unopened marshmallows are sitting on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you guys, come back! I think I got it all figured out now! Oh, man! What am I supposed to do with all these leftover marshmallows? I bought, like, four hundred pounds!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walking by, humming, then looks at Strong Bad.}'' Oh, excuse me, but did I hear you say... leftovers?

''{close up of a nametag reading "the end for brains"}''

''{transition to Marzipan's backyard, where Marzipan is talking to the tofu model of Homestar. There is a flame on his "head".}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks for helping me with my party today, Homestar. I think it was a really big success! ''{she nuzzles him}'' You've been really nice to me the last few minutes! ''{Tofu Homestar's "head" falls off. Blackout, record scratch}'' Put your head back on this instant!

''{Cut to the [[Luau Main Page]].}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:luau|luau]] is a type of feast prominent in Hawaiian culture. It consists primarily of traditional Polynesian song and dance and the eating of an ethnic dish called [[Wikipedia:Poi (food)|poi]], as well as roasting pork and salmon over an open rotisserie. Since Marzipan is a vegetarian, however, she instead roasts a slab of [[tofu]].
*An [[Wikipedia:ukulele|ukulele]] (often spelled "ukelele" in Great Britain) is a small, 4-stringed, guitarlike instrument that originated in Hawaii in the 1880s. English-speakers usually pronounce it "yoo-koo-lay-lee", but Marzipan's pronunciation ("oo-koo-lay-lay") is more authentic.

===Trivia===
*Among the phrases of "Polynesian Prose" that Strong Sad recites are "[[Wikipedia:Kahlua|Kahlua]] and Creme", an [[Alcohol|alcoholic]] drink; and "Meka Leka Hi Meka Heiny Ho", which were [[Wikipedia:Jambi (Pee-wee's Playhouse)|Jambi]]'s magic words on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-wee's Playhouse]].
*This is the first time Strong Bad uses the term 'crazy-go-nuts', something which will eventually evolve into [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*This is the first time [[Missy Palmer]] has been credited as a writer.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's invitation says "Your invited", [[Strong Bad's Spelling|misspelling]] "you're". This is ironic since Strong Bad has a penchant for scoffing at [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling and grammar mistakes]].
**Strong Bad even sings a song about the differences of the two words in [[local news]].
*When you first see Strong Sad standing next to the fire, in the background, you see the lights across the fence somehow seem to just stop from where scene view would have ended.
*Interestingly, Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]] displays moving bars even when it isn't playing.
*The invitation to the Luau says that Strong Sad will be reading "Ancient Hawaiian Poetry", yet his book says "Polynesian Prose".
*Strong Mad's logo on his chest is slightly different from the previous toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*This is another instance of [[foreign words]] being mispronounced.
*Strong Bad appears to strike the match on his thumb.
*The design of Homestar in this cartoon is from an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|earlier design]], when in a previous toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]], his design is the current.
**Commentary for Jorb reveals the animation was eventually updated.
*With a typical marshmallow bag weighing 1 pound and containing 60 marshmallows, Strong Bad's 400 pounds of marshmallows would have amounted to 400 bags containing a total of 24,000 marshmallows.

===Goofs===
*In the beginning when Marzipan walks over to the tofu and Homestar is facing away, Homestar's head does not touch his body. It's easier to see if you pause it and zoom in.
*The tofu over Marzipan's fire turns, but the stick stuck through it does not.
*The wheels on the tape do not turn in Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]].
*When we see Strong Sad for the first time, the lights on the fence stop in midair.
*When Coach Z turns his head, his "[[Crap]] for brains" [[name tag]] is reversed.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat steal Marzipan's wood, The Cheat appears to be floating above Strong Mad's foot.

=== Inside References ===
*The tune Marzipan is playing on the ukelele is the song "Thoughts on a Bird" from the game [[Audition With Marzipan]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The [[Sound Effects|CBS Special music]] heard when the invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast is shown is a reference to the logo and music that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://youtube.com/watch?v=6W9V9SZPHAY here]. This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]].
*The sound effect of everybody running is a generic bongo sound effect used in old [[Wikipedia:Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera]] cartoons.

===Fast Forward===
*The phrase "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts|crazy-go-nuts]]!" would be used again in [[personal favorites]] and on [[Main Page 22]].
*Likewise, "Crap [[for brains]]" would later be seen in various forms, such as "Carp for brains" in [[personal favorites]]; "crap for crap" in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]; and "brain for brains" in [[invisibility]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*Unlike [[A Holiday Greeting]] and [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], the CBS Special Presentation theme is present on both audio tracks, not just the commentary.
*The Luau Main Page was removed due to technical limitations.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Mike, you made this cartoon all by yourself.

'''MIKE:''' This was when you lived in New York, Matt. You emailed me all the voices, the dialogue.

'''MATT:''' I used to turn them into MP3 format so I could send more of them in each email. WAV files were too big.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um, so what about this one?

'''MATT:''' You made— didn't you write it with—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, watch this little lens flare coming up... I got this from Legend of Zelda...

'''MATT:''' Majora's Mask?

'''MIKE:''' Majora's Mask that has that when you look up at the sun. So I copied it.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' And there's the famous 3D rotating tofu!

'''MATT:''' I remember being blown away when I first saw the clip of this.

'''MIKE:''' It's all, of course, fake 3D. It's pretty... the edges are pretty lame. But it still holds up okay, five years later.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it wouldn't take much to make it look really slick.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The fire on the other hand, with the tiki torches...

'''MATT:''' Look GREAT.

'''MIKE:''' ...re pretty bad.

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating Marzipan}'' "The Luau?" I like how she says "Luau". That reminds me of Charlie Brown in the Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon, when he's like, "We have to get on with our plaaay!"

'''MIKE:''' Play?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{referring to the Ghetto-Blastro}'' A little 3-Dee…

'''MATT:''' Listening to 3-Dee in there.

'''MIKE:''' The members of 3-Dee are... Nehi, Yoo-Hoo, and Sundrop.

'''MATT:''' Ahh.

'''MIKE:''' 3-Dee stands for "Three Drinks". Their names are drinks.

'''MATT:''' Oh. Got it. ''{As Homestar comes from behind the gazebo}'' What were you doing back there, Homestar Runner?

'''MIKE:''' He must have been drinking Melonades.

'''MATT:''' Oh, okay.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I get it now.

'''MIKE:''' I think this cartoon— when, um—

'''MATT:''' Whoa! Did you see how quickly Marzipan bolted out of the scene?

'''MIKE:''' ''{Laughs}'' She got out of there! I was gonna say we were realizing that the crackling fire comes and goes in the scenes of this cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' As we were watching it for the DVD we were wondering if things were messed up, but no, in the original cartoon, some scenes have a crackling fire and some don't. ''{Laughs}'' Look at that walk for Strong Bad!

'''MATT:''' With the really slow—

'''MIKE:''' With the bent elbows?

'''MATT:''' His arms are... very long. ''{Pause}'' Poot Slap, Poot Slap, ''Dansk''! What's that staunch?

'''MIKE:''' Those are the lyrics to the 3-Dee song.

'''MATT:''' ''{referring to a swift scene transition}'' Ooh. A little zipper-zipperoo.

'''MIKE:''' And Strong Sad says some Jambi the Genie coming up here.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or did he already say that?

'''MATT:''' No, that's later.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, see, now crackling fire.

'''MATT:''' He mentions Kahlua and Crème I think at one point too. Didn't you write this with Melissa? You and Melissa kind of wrote this together?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, yeah.

'''MATT:''' I like the song; the theme song for this is nice. It made me... it made me want to move back down to Atlanta, I remember, when I first heard it.

'''MIKE:''' ''{Laughs}'' The theme song?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It made me sad that I wasn't there to make it with you.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Laughs as Strong Mad rubs his belly in hunger}'' Yeah? Big guy?

'''MIKE:''' Is this Strong Mad's—

'''MATT:''' Did you see his mouth barely move? I don't think it closed ever!

'''MIKE:''' Did Strong Mad ever say anything before that? Is that his first line?

'''MATT:''' ''{Laughs}'' Maybe! Or no, "I AM STRONG BAD! I AM STILL STRONG BA—" From Jumping Jack—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, from Jumping Jack, okay. Oh watch this, when a log comes flying at the camera.

'''MATT:''' OOH! Wow...

'''MIKE:''' Mondo.

'''MATT:''' I think the... I think the clouds in the background stopped moving at a point during that last scene too—

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ...they just got to a point where, "Eh, we're good here." ''{Pause until we see the Tofu Homestar}'' That's a good— a good disguise, Homestar Runner.

'''MIKE:''' That smoke is pretty weak too.

'''MATT:''' ''{Laughs}'' It's all right— it's made of a bunch of balls. ''{Pause}'' I think Coach Z there is telling him that he knows a guy up in Pawkeegan who'd do wonders with wood or— I can't remember what the full quote was. ''{As we see the smoke through over the trees}'' That's some deep, lush forests…

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we don't see those very much.

'''MATT:''' No, you don't.

'''MIKE:''' Have to run through the woods to get to Marzipan's backyard.

'''MATT:''' ''{Imitating Strong Bad after he says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!"}'' My voice was about to start getting really echo-y at this part!

'''MIKE:''' ''{Laughs}'' The old generic, uh—

'''MATT:''' —cartoon—

'''MIKE:''' Scooby Doo-Flintstones-run-sound.

''{Long pause}''

'''MATT:''' What else do you have to say, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' There's Coach Z chewing the— and Pom Pom chewing with their invisible mouths... Good job, Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' I think Strong Bad got way bigger— before he was crouched next to that pile of logs, and they seemed pretty...

'''MATT:''' Pretty tiny?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{In tune with the last keyboard note}'' Taaa.

''{The cartoon seems to be over until we see another scene with Marzipan and Tofu Homestar}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, here's where we're... we're still goin' here.

'''MATT:''' I remember later on we added — and it's a version we never put up — but her head catches on fire...

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' ...too, during that part.

=== Fun Facts ===
*[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask| The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]] was a video game for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]].
*Matt imitates the whiny way [[Wikipedia:Charlie Brown|Charlie Brown]] says "play" in [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over Trumpet fanfares}'' Email! Email!! EEEEEEMAAAAAIIIIL!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: SBLOUNSCHKED!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering... do you know anything 
about the user, "SBLOUNSKCHED!" on the HRWiki? 
Your pal, 
!DEHCKSNUOLBS
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "dot dot dot" for "...", "Her wiki" for "HRWiki", and "Deh Ksnulbs" for "!DEHCKSNUOLBS."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do ''I'' know anything about ''SBLOUNSKCHED!?'' Gimme a break here, Deh Ksnulbs! Me and SBLOUNSKCHED!... we're the best of buddies, brothers even! In fact, I could probably tell you more about SBLOUNSKCHED! than he could tell you about himself. ''{Pause}'' So I will.

''{Scene changes to The Field. SBLOUNSKCHED! appears through the alternate universe portal and looks around, surprised.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All right, so this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What? When did you get here?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well... um... ok. I was just tellin Deh Ksnulbs here all about SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, he's not replacing you, The Cheat. It's— it's an email.

'''THE CHEAT''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{forgiving The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, right. So, anyway, this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

''{A SBLOUNSKCHED! bar appears onscreen.}''

'''CHORUS:''' ''{voiceover}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But that's not what we're talking about here. ''{The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar disappears.}'' ''This'' is SBLOUNSKCHED! He's... umm... he's on that website... th— the dumpface wiki. Um...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, shut up! I do too know all about SBLOUNSKCHED!!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, in order to better give you the skoop on SBLOUNSKCHED!, we decided to bring him in for an interview.

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad's chair.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wght— ''{waving his arms in the air}'' I said shut up!

''{cut to Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum. Music starts and a newspaper background appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Can we try to be at least a ''little'' creative here?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Oh... um... Strong Bad jumps into a fine kettle of journalism fish with...

''{a black cauldron drops from the top of the screen. sBLOUNSKCHED! pops out of it, covered with fish.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBLOUNSK-kch-chk-k-k... erm... That's actually a cauldron.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, is that some sort of... witches' brew?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Agh, no! It's a kettle of fish! Let's... let's just get this over with.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. He's sitting on the couch next to SBLOUNSKCHED!.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't usually use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}'' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hup, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

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

==Just Noticed==
OMG! I just noticed that we actually see SB's bathroom's toilet in this email. Can someone upload an picture in the article?
- {{User:HeyMama/sig}}
:Yeah. See [[Strong Bad Smiling]].

== KOT's metaphysical? ==

Right. Does anyone else hear "metaphysical" when the KOT says it? [[User:Octan|Octan]] 02:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

:That wouldn't make any sense. As "mega physical", albeit surreal, makes the sentence possible, "metaphysical" isn't even a noun, and in fact refers to the study of the nature of reality. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

:: I'm not going to bother registering to point this out, but I hear "meta" too... and uh, yeah, it a) doesn't make sense and b) the word is being used completely out of context... but c) ohhhh no, the Brothers Chaps have never had a character use an actual word out of context when a related word (in this case just plain "physical") would have made perfect sense, so it can't possibly be metaphysical on those grounds. Because "mega physical" makes perfect sense. Sincerely, An Ominous Poster.

:::Let's also not forget that Strong Bad says the same word earlier on, and his pronunciation is unambiguous. It's mega. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

::::Yes, Strong Bad is saying Mega. That's part of why it's funny that the KoT says Meta. It's also funny that "metaphysical" isn't a noun. And as for whether it makes sense...I think it does, since when the King of Town says it it's a self-referential joke--hence, "meta." --Tomemos 18:16, 6 February 2007 (PDT)

::Definitely "meta" --m5rammy 9:20 2-7-2007
::Meta! -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 19:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Agree. I continuously hear "meta", even before looking here. I shan't change it without concensus, however. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, how do we establish consensus? That's an honest question; I'm new here. --[[User:Tomemos|Tomemos]]
:::::Through discussions like this one, as a matter of fact. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Jou (something) no Hito==
I'm working on translating the Bubs poster. So far I've got Jou (something) no Hito, which, when translated, would mean Man of...Something. Allowing something, or it could be that the two characters together make up a whole other word, I don't know. I'll get back to you on this. --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 21:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
:I hear on the forum that it means Concession Man. Let me find the link. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=10767 here it is]. Scroll down to spiffy's post. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 03:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

The Japanese text on the King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster, from clicking on the word "reuse", at the end of the cartoon reads 譲歩の人, which babelfish translates as "person of concession", probably referring to Bubs having a concession stand. [[User:Phillip Alan Gulley|Phillip Alan Gulley]] 03:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

As for the kanji that appears when he walks into the water, I'm pretty sure it's 端, which Babelfish translates to "Edge". --[[User:ShayCaron|Shay Caron]] 03:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:You trust BabelFish?! I don't know any Japanese, but based on my experience with BabelFish, it's quite likely to be wrong.{{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 03:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
::BabelFish isn't that bad. Anyway, the word that appears when Bubs walks into the water doesn't look exactly like that, but it could just be because it's in a different font
:::Unihan lists [http://www.cojak.org/index.php?function=code_lookup&term=7AEF 端] as "end, extreme; head; beginning" – they might be using it to mean "The End". I agree it doesn't quite look like the one in the toon... but it's pretty close, and kinda works in context. Myself I'd gotten as far as "譲?の人"... and that was after an hour with some magic "find out what that character is" program... I guess I'll leave it to the experts next time. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I suspect I'm not alone in that my fonts don't support the Japanese. Someone should upload an image of the characters discussed in the article for those users. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:I'm on it. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Bubs going into the water with Japanese text behind him.png|right|180px]]
Here's an image of that text with him going into the water, there is an image of the poster in the article already.[[User:Phillip Alan Gulley|Phillip Alan Gulley]] 04:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

:A better site for translation is [http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html WWWJDIC], but you need to know the unicode for the kanji. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 08:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Um. Well. Just for the record I started this whole thing. Bwah. *shot*
And as for Babelfish, well...Babelfish is just hilarious. Underpants devil. Tee-hee! --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 17:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Not that this matters, but I think it's extremely hilarious and worth pointing out that English subtitles of Japanese films are often mis-subtitled, therefore making this potentially intentional and funny even if it wasn't.
:Yeah, I think the bad Japanese was at least partly intentional. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 00:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

So, what do y'all use to identify the kanjis and what-all? I looked over and over in the wiktionary, myself, starting at the Chinese radicals index [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Chinese_radical_index thingy]

== Possible Mario Reference? ==

After I saw this e-mail, I immediately thought of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Meets_Koop-zilla this episode] of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. I'm not very well-versed in Japanese monster movies, but I know TBC are Nintendo fans, and the growing/shrinking by eating some sort of food is synonymous in the e-mail and SMBSS episode. Just a thought, I may be wrong.
:I have to highly doubt any video game reference, as the toon is clearly parodying the classic Japanese monster movies. When in doubt, the simplest choice is usually right. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:It also happens in Alice in Wonderland. It's probably not a reference to an old Mario episode. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 03:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

== Possible Inside Referance to Teen Girl Squad #10... ==

During the toilet Easter Egg, where Strong Bad is spinning, it's almost the same as when What's Her Face was spinning in TGS#10 with the same "Wheeeee!"

Well, she and he said "Wheee" when spinning, as I probably would, but aside from that there's absolutely nothing the same. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

:Exactly. But that was one hilarious easter egg. XD—[[User:StrongstarRunbad|S*R]] 04:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

== Once again. This is StrongBadia. Not this. Or this. ==
Man, why do people keep asking what the weather is like in StrongBadia? It's going to be the same as the rest of FreeCountryUSA, which I don't think has even been mentioned by name in a toon...
:I agree that it's annoying. Free Country USA was mentioned out loud in [[flashback]], but I guess not many people noticed. There should be a page for people mistaking Strong Badia for Free Country USA. Like, [[Mistaking Strong Badia for Free Country USA]]. Okay, so that's a horrible name.
::People ask that because they don't care about the rest of the city. I should know.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 04:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
If I asked what the weather was like in Brooklyn, does that mean I don't care about the rest of New York? Anyway, if you feel such a page should exist, make it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:A good parallel is people saying 'New York' when they mean NYC, not the state. That's gotta bug someone. Or when they say either New York or New York City when what they mean is Manhattan. @_@

== This is my email ==
Dude that's awesome! This is my email. I sent this one. I can provide a screen shot too!--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 04:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure you should be proud of that? There were a lot of apostrophes...

For outlook express, which is what that screenshot's of, the email address you're sending to and the subject are "grayed out" and the color of the rest of the box, meaning that you can't type in them any more.

== Another non-fourth wall break ==

*When Strong Bad is doing the public service announcement he is [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaking the Fourth Wall]].
I know that it's tempting to say that every time Strong Bad directly addresses the viewer it's a fourth wall break, but I once again direct you towards the precedent set in [[Talk:mile]] (under "Fourth Wall Break?"). Strong Bad addresses the viewer pretty frequently and the entire premise of the Strong Bad emails is that he's answering them for his viewers. Fourth wall breaks, as I see them, should be limited to when the characters acknowledge they're in a cartoon, not just for addressing the viewer. After all, Strong Bad took a camera with him when he checked that one email while skydiving.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 05:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

The record button on strong sads boombox starts off as red, then loses its color when he is playing the message, then turns back to red after he is done.

== [[Wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October (film)|''Hunt for Red October'']] Reference ==

When Strong Sad is demonstrating the sound recording of Bubs, Strong Sad's line is nearly identical to one used by [[Wikipedia:Courtney B. Vance|Courtney Vance's]] character in ''The Hunt for Red October''. In the movie, Ronald "Jonsey" Jones, the USS Dallas's sonar technician, is attempting to find some sort of audible trace of the Red October, and is running this one snippet of sound over and over again to try and isolate a mechanical noise. He finally demonstrates to the captain that if the tape is played back at high speed, a mechanical thumping noise emerges. Go and watch the movie if you like (and no, I can't post a clip of it anywhere, I don't have a DVD copy of the film and don't feel like going to all the trouble of ripping the scene from a VHS tape just to prove an insignificant point about a free cartoon). My point is this: that this particular plot point in the movie is the basis of this particular segment in the cartoon.

I took it to be a reference to the Simpsons episode where Homer goes into space. When he flies into the ant colony, they yell (squeak?) to one another, as I recall: "We must protect the queen!" "Which one is the queen?" and so forth.

I really don't think it's a Simpsons reference, but just a reference to ant behavior in general. Everything Homestar says in this email is obviously based on his delusion that they've been turned into ants. Including the chocolate cake that someone was confused about. However, I thought someone might mention in "explanations" or "real-world references" that Homestar comes on at the end carrying a leaf with a bite in it, which seems to me to indicate that at this point he thinks he's a leafcutter ant. Anyone want to back me up on this? --[[User:Toastburner|Toastburner]]

"So from then on, it was pork and beans"- helium
"So that's when I realized I don't even need Lamaze classes"- portrait

Is it worth noting that the teapots in Strong Bad's teaset are the exact same colors as those found on his mask? The only color not on the teapots is the blue from his diamond, but I think it's pretty apparent that TBC did it on purpose. I figured it'd just be shot down if I put it on there before discussing it. I'm just not sure if you people would think it was interesting enough to put in the article. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 04:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

What about the fact that in one email, Marzipan was having tea with Homsar with her teaset designed after her talking about tampering with the DNA evidence and in the next email, Strong Bad was having tea with the cheat with his teaset designed after him, talking about how he tampered with the DNA evidence. I realize that theres something similar in there, but maybe it should be more clear how similar the two are.

Sorry, not a regular contributor. (Perhaps will get an account soon.)

== Reference to bosses from the Zelda series? ==

This fact was [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=unnatural&diff=next&oldid=413937 removed] with a good explanation given. Nevertheless, I think it's worth discussion:

*The title and growl observed during King Bubsgonzola Supreme's appearance is reminiscent of the beginning of boss fights from the [[Nintendo]] game ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and later games in the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (series)|series]].

Normally I would unilaterally agree that it's just part of the overall reference to Japanese monster movies; in this case, however, the reference in question is to games from The Legend of Zelda series, to which TBC have repeatedly alluded. So, what do other people think — Reference, or No Reference? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
:Reference! No Reference! Wait, guh, gah! Jeez, I don't wanna end up with one dollar! Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence that they can be link. But, others may disagree. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 11:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
::I think its a reference because I beat ''Ocarina of Time'' twice, and before you fight a boss, letters in white text at the bottom of the screen show the name of the boss, then it usually growls, and you fight it. And TBC unmistakably love Nintendo, so I think it is inspired to be like Zelda. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

== Another Goof ==

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that as the scene fades and Bubs walks into the lake, you can see something that looks like his skeleton (especially if you are using a stand-alone flash viewer at full screen)? This would seem like a goof to me. Oh, and apparently Bubs' external shirt is padded, his shoulders aren't that high ;)--Shadow

:::Okay, this is curious indeed. I tried viewing it on a campus computer and it didn't show up, I installed the latest version of Swiff Player and it also does not show up on that. Is it possible for older versions of stand-alone flash players to display some things that newer versions would hide? I shall check this when I get home in case the original flash file had been updated.--Shadow
::::I checked when I got home using the same file and flash player as when on campus and it's curious, but I still have the same results. It must be my laptop screen for some reason, but I can clearly see Bubs' skeleton as he goes into the water. Here's an additional shot:

:::::Looks like somehow you're seeing the different layers in Flash. Each of those things you can see is actually a separate object: Bubs' upper arms, head, lower arms, etc. Dunno what's causing it, but that's what you're seeing. Not any kind of skeleton. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Teaset colors ==

----
I noticed that the teaset that Strong Bad and The Cheat are using are the same colors as Strong Bad's mask(red,black,and green). Should this be added to the fun facts sections?

== Cliche ==

:: I'm not going to bother registering to point this out, but I hear "meta" too... and uh, yeah, it a) doesn't make sense and b) the word is being used completely out of context... but c) ohhhh no, the Brothers Chaps have never had a character use an actual word out of context when a related word (in this case just plain "physical") would have made perfect sense, so it can't possibly be metaphysical on those grounds.

The Japanese text on the King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster, from clicking on the word "reuse", at the end of the cartoon reads 譲歩の人, which babelfish translates as "person of concession", probably referring to Bubs having a concession stand. [[User:Phillip Alan Gulley|Phillip Alan Gulley]] 03:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

After I saw this e-mail, I immediately thought of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Meets_Koop-zilla this episode] of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. I'm not very well-versed in Japanese monster movies, but I know TBC are Nintendo fans, and the growing/shrinking by eating some sort of food is synonymous in the e-mail and SMBSS episode. Just a thought, I may be wrong.

However there is a toll-free number ending with 267-7876, 1-877-267-7876. its a number for some kind of cabinet supplies or something. {{User:Csours/sig}} 04:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

== Another non-fourth wall break ==

*When Strong Bad is doing the public service announcement he is [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaking the Fourth Wall]].
I know that it's tempting to say that every time Strong Bad directly addresses the viewer it's a fourth wall break, but I once again direct you towards the precedent set in [[Talk:mile]] (under "Fourth Wall Break?"). Strong Bad addresses the viewer pretty frequently and the entire premise of the Strong Bad emails is that he's answering them for his viewers. Fourth wall breaks, as I see them, should be limited to when the characters acknowledge they're in a cartoon, not just for addressing the viewer. After all, Strong Bad took a camera with him when he checked that one email while skydiving.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 05:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, not a contributor, but:

==Recycle Star==
I think the thing with the recycling symbol is a star shape because it's the Homestar Runner site, but is it significant? Probably not, but hey, what's talk without insignificant bantering about? [[User:Phillip Alan Gulley|Phillip Alan Gulley]]

== Goof? ==

The record button on strong sads boombox starts off as red, then loses its color when he is playing the message, then turns back to red after he is done.

== [[Wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October (film)|''Hunt for Red October'']] Reference ==

When Strong Sad is demonstrating the sound recording of Bubs, Strong Sad's line is nearly identical to one used by [[Wikipedia:Courtney B. Vance|Courtney Vance's]] character in ''The Hunt for Red October''. In the movie, Ronald "Jonsey" Jones, the USS Dallas's sonar technician, is attempting to find some sort of audible trace of the Red October, and is running this one snippet of sound over and over again to try and isolate a mechanical noise. He finally demonstrates to the captain that if the tape is played back at high speed, a mechanical thumping noise emerges. Go and watch the movie if you like (and no, I can't post a clip of it anywhere, I don't have a DVD copy of the film and don't feel like going to all the trouble of ripping the scene from a VHS tape just to prove an insignificant point about a free cartoon). My point is this: that this particular plot point in the movie is the basis of this particular segment in the cartoon. Re-write it as a good fun fact if you wish, I just wanted to get some other opinions on this first. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 02:52, 6 Feb 2006 (PST)

I'm thinking that maybe 'cans' is some kind of euphemism. '''Can''' somebody figure this out? -(Homfrog)
:I just did. According to Wikipedia, it's a euphemism for buttocks, headphones, and (don't yell at me for typing this but I can't really phrase it differently) boobs, but I don't think that's what was intended here. Unless TBC were acting like pervs when they made this email, it most likely means no more than what you put your soda in. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 15:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
::Actually I was sure that Strong Bad's reaction was based on the euphemism meaning. I mean we're not far removed from "Word Booty."

::::I disagree. There may be people who wouldn't get the reference, or understand why SB reacted that way. However, it would have made more sense if she said, "Show me your can (singular)," as this would be more likely to mean "buttocks".

::::::Yeah, that's kinda what I meant by not mentioning it on the page. Euphemisms like that are either adult jokes or not intentional. If you don't understand, you're not old enough to understand.

::::::::Cans definitely refer to breasts, at least where I come from, and quite frequently at that. I'm sure urbandictionary or your preferred online resource could confirm this.

==Ants==

Homestar says "We must save the Queen! I have six legs!" Is this not a reference to ants? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 18:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I took it to be a reference to the Simpsons episode where Homer goes into space. When he flies into the ant colony, they yell (squeak?) to one another, as I recall: "We must protect the queen!" "Which one is the queen?" and so forth.

I really don't think it's a Simpsons reference, but just a reference to ant behavior in general. Everything Homestar says in this email is obviously based on his delusion that they've been turned into ants. Including the chocolate cake that someone was confused about. However, I thought someone might mention in "explanations" or "real-world references" that Homestar comes on at the end carrying a leaf with a bite in it, which seems to me to indicate that at this point he thinks he's a leafcutter ant. Anyone want to back me up on this? --[[User:Toastburner|Toastburner]]
:I will! I was actually amazed no one wrote this already. It seems to be the only logical explanation. I really don't see why Homestar would be carrying a leaf bitten by the KoT, anyway.

== New running gag ==

I've recently noticed a new running gag and would make the page myself if I knew what to call it. I'm talking about the conversations that the viewer only gets to hear the end of, leaving the rest of the conversation to the imagination. examples:
"And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence"- unnatural
"And that's why I think the DNA evidence has been tampered with"- strong badathlon
"So from then on, it was pork and beans"- helium
"So that's when I realized I don't even need Lamaze classes"- portrait
"But it turned out I didn't die"- the show
I definitly think this qualifies as a running gag, and as soon as someone helps me figure out what to call it, I'll start cranking away on the page. [[User:16BitJorge|16BitJorge]] 20:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:[[Interrupted Conversations]]? It already exists. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
::I think he means one of two things. Either the fact that most of the time when the camera jumps to the characters having a conversation, the conversation ends with a one-liner which I myself have seen a few times. Or that characters are talking about something (for example: Marzipan's DNA speech in strong badathlon) and then in a later scene or toon, a second character talks about the same thing, only from their side (e.g.: Strong Bad's DNA speech in unnatural). Which I've only noticed in these two toons. It's not exactly the same as Interrupted Conversations even though most of the time when we hear the one-liners, the conversations interrupted. --[[User:Frusion1021|Frusion1021]] 21:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

== Chocolate Cake - STUFF Question ==

I'm confused about the whole chocolate cake reference thing. I thought that the first proposed statement was completely accurate. If someone proposed a revision, do votes for the original proposal still count? Because if they do, I'd rather change my vote back. I thought there should've been no question that it ''was'' a reference and shouldn't be stated as a "could be." --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 04:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
:The STUFF rules clearly state that only one's bottommost "accept" vote counts. If the original gets more support than the revision, then it would be accepted over the revision, of course. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

== Teaset ==

Is it worth noting that the teapots in Strong Bad's teaset are the exact same colors as those found on his mask? The only color not on the teapots is the blue from his diamond, but I think it's pretty apparent that TBC did it on purpose. I figured it'd just be shot down if I put it on there before discussing it. I'm just not sure if you people would think it was interesting enough to put in the article. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 04:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
:It's visually apparent in the toon. I see no reason to make special note of it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
::I had a feeling you'd say that. I guess it's a good thing I asked. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 04:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
What about the fact that in one email, Marzipan was having tea with Homsar with her teaset designed after her talking about tampering with the DNA evidence and in the next email, Strong Bad was having tea with the cheat with his teaset designed after him, talking about how he tampered with the DNA evidence. I realize that theres something similar in there, but maybe it should be more clear how similar the two are.

== Background tiling ==
Sorry, not a regular contributor. (Perhaps will get an account soon.)
I noticed that the tiling on the wall of the Brothers Strong Bathroom is the same as that of Main Page 14 (Nakers!) Maybe this is notable?

== Reference to bosses from the Zelda series? ==

This fact was [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=unnatural&diff=next&oldid=413937 removed] with a good explanation given. Nevertheless, I think it's worth discussion:

*The title and growl observed during King Bubsgonzola Supreme's appearance is reminiscent of the beginning of boss fights from the [[Nintendo]] game ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and later games in the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (series)|series]].

Normally I would unilaterally agree that it's just part of the overall reference to Japanese monster movies; in this case, however, the reference in question is to games from The Legend of Zelda series, to which TBC have repeatedly alluded. So, what do other people think — Reference, or No Reference? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
:Reference! No Reference! Wait, guh, gah! Jeez, I don't wanna end up with one dollar! Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence that they can be link. But, others may disagree. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 11:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
::I think its a reference because I beat ''Ocarina of Time'' twice, and before you fight a boss, letters in white text at the bottom of the screen show the name of the boss, then it usually growls, and you fight it. And TBC unmistakably love Nintendo, so I think it is inspired to be like Zelda. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that as the scene fades and Bubs walks into the lake, you can see something that looks like his skeleton (especially if you are using a stand-alone flash viewer at full screen)?

::Yes indeed, I tried to brighten it up a bit to make it more apparent (similar to the goof on the "Can't Say Job" for Coach Z). I'm just trying to show that it's not my imagination, this does exist. I don't intend for this to be used on the article page.--Shadow
:::Okay, this is curious indeed. I tried viewing it on a campus computer and it didn't show up, I installed the latest version of Swiff Player and it also does not show up on that.

I shall check this when I get home in case the original flash file had been updated.--Shadow
::::I checked when I got home using the same file and flash player as when on campus and it's curious, but I still have the same results. It must be my laptop screen for some reason, but I can clearly see Bubs' skeleton as he goes into the water. Here's an additional shot:

:::::Looks like somehow you're seeing the different layers in Flash. Each of those things you can see is actually a separate object: Bubs' upper arms, head, lower arms, etc. Dunno what's causing it, but that's what you're seeing. Not any kind of skeleton. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::Well, yes, I did know that but it's much like seeing a skeleton or framework ;) --Shadow

== Teaset colors ==

----
I noticed that the teaset that Strong Bad and The Cheat are using are the same colors as Strong Bad's mask(red,black,and green). Should this be added to the fun facts sections?

== Cliche ==

I think that the part where Strong Bad is naming possibilities on how Bub's grew so large is a reference to cliche's used in 1950's-1960's Sci-fi movies and comics. Shouldn't this be added somewhere? --[[User:205.188.116.139|205.188.116.139]] 01:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

SBLOUNSKCHED!: /* Talon (J)endro: A true Lucas-ism??? */

== Homestar Filmography ==

If [[Nebulon]] is listed in the filmography of [[senior prom]], then [[Homestar Runner]] should be listed in the filmography here...I don't have a strong opinion which way it goes, as long as it's consistent. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:Concur, senior prom is a good example, we don't list Senor Cardgage there, and if I remember correctly Nebulon is also just depicted in a decoration, thusly should not be in the cast list. I can't view the toon to confirm that at the moment so I won't change it, but if that's the case, then Nebulon we must erase! (but he should be noted as a decoration and linked there). [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 18:02, 11 December 2006
::Yes, I say take them both out. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 18:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
::Yes, he's just a decoration. I tend to agree with you that they shouldn't be listed in the Filmography (they're not actually acting). I'll delort it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
::Note, however, that [[Trivia Time]] does list his appearances as a cookie jar. [[User:Starblind|Starblind]] 18:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes, but he is not included in the cast lists for the toons (see [[army]] for example.) - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 18:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
What about some other sub-filmography category for appearances like this? Something like "other appearances" maybe, for when a character's image is used but the character cannot really be said to be in the toon. it could also include things such as the dead Strong Sad easter eggs in [[fingers]] (where a character is seen but does not move or talk) [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 22:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:I think that a character should be reconized if they actually appear in person (Such as the dead Strong Sads in fingers), but with the Nebulon decoration and the Homestar Runner Decemberween Gift, I agree with you guys.
{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 00:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

== Suave? ==

I'm almost positive he says ''swaying'' hips. I've watched it thrice now, and that's what I hear every time. I'll be '''bold''' and change it, so you know who to blame. -- [[User:4.244.215.164|4.244.215.164]] 19:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

== Green Tongue ==
Is it worth mentioning that the googly eyed reindeer ornament has a green tongue? [[User:4kai2lyn6|kai lyn]] 17:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

== Mainpage ==

Should we mention that there is no mention of an update on the mainpage?
It still says last updated the 4th, and click on the new Strong Bad Email takes you too the chair one.
What do you think?
:Clear your cache. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 23:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:And learn how to use "too" and "to" properly. -LYNX

== Meant? ==

Did they mean to say bloody? Cause isn't that like bad in the commonwealth. The US no, but Australia or UK
:I'm an Australian, and bloody is about as bad as 'darn'. I'd say the constant use of 'friggn' is worse.
:Like the person above said, it's not a very strong word. Although I'd say it's closer to "damn" than "darn". And I don't know about how it's used in the UK. Anyway, bloody is only a swear if it's used as an adjective, and isn't used to mean "covered in blood". The way Strong Bad used it was fine. And please sign your posts. You use four of these things: ~. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
:See "[[Wikipedia:So_where_the_bloody_hell_are_you%3F|So where the bloody hell are you?]]" for a very recent discussion of this issue. -- [[User:Ianiceboy|Ianiceboy]] 12:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

== Part Numbers ==

The second and third numbers have already been identified, but it was the first one that really stuck out to me. I found myself saying the last numbers in the series before I even read them: "zxj481-78b." I just wish I could recall where it came from! Could it be related to networking like the other two?

==Pheromone==
I'm tempted to add back in the note that they're used to communicate with their own species. That is their natural purpose. Other animals (or plants) can sense them sometimes, but that's more an adaptation for predatory or defense purposes, the actual purpose of a pheromone is normally to communicate with one's own species. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 15:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
:I agree, based on my limited knowledge of them. By itself, the term implies species specific interaction — when used otherwise biologists explicitly qualify them as ''heterospecific pheromones'' or less commonly ''exopheromones''. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 16:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

== Stonk? ==

Okay, not just one but two separate users have attempted to add separate "Facts" (both of them very suspect) relating to the word "Stonk" now. To ''this'' page, not to [[the chair]]. Um... is there something I'm missing, or have people just suddenly grown clueless? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:Unless you and I are ''both'' missing something, (highly unlikely), I think people just suddenly grew clueless.
{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

==Xmas==

The X in Xmas was used to represent the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ since the letter X is a cross itself. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:No, its actually a capital [[Wikipedia:Chi_(letter)|chi]] (a Greek letter) which has been used as an abbreviation for Christ (such as the C in the [[Wikipedia:Ichthys|ICHTHYS]] (fish symbol) which is the initials of the phrase "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" in Greek). The chi just happens to look the same as a Roman (i.e. the letters used in English) X. Which is also the roman numeral for 10 (decem) hence the Xberween - [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 23:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
::Wow. I've been through a decade and two years worth of Christmas's, and I've never even thought about where "xmas" came from. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 23:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
::Never knew that. Thanks. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 06:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

==Nobots==

I remember many "nobots", such as a Santa cactus singing Feliz Navidad, and simply a Santa Claus saying "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!" or "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== "everybody" song ==

The song in the easter egg... where have I heard that before? This is driving me nuts...
:See [[what I want#Inside References]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

== Talon (J)endro: A true Lucas-ism??? ==

It's probably not worth putting this on the main page, but it is very interesting to note that, by pure coincidence, there is actually a character in the Star Wars [[Wikipedia:Expanded Universe (Star Wars)|Expanded Univers]] (Books, etc.) whose name is [[Wikipedia:Talon Karrde|Talon]]. He actually becomes one of the major characters in a number of books. There are also a few names that are similar, but not the same as, Jendro, such as Jendorn, Jendon, and Endro, though the first was a very minor character and the second was a planet. The third, however, played a major part in the book "Planet Hoppers." To my knowlege, Talon and Endro have never appeared in the same book, though there are many (including Planet Hoppers, which is in fact an e-book... er, backstory?... written to go along with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game) that I have yet to read.

Yes, I'm a dork.--{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 09:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
:It went through STUFF and was declined. Whoever closed it forgot to put it on this page. I'd do it, but I don't know how.{{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
::Ah, I see. Eh, well, like I said, not worth the main page, but still an interesting coincidence. That's why I said it like that :D

== Talon (J)endro: A true Lucas-ism??? ==

It's probably not worth putting this on the main page, but it is very interesting to note that, by pure coincidence, there is actually a character in the Star Wars [[Wikipedia:Expanded Universe (Star Wars)|Expanded Univers]] (Books, etc.) whose name is [[Wikipedia:Talon Karrde|Talon]]. He actually becomes one of the major characters in a number of books. There are also a few names that are similar, but not the same as, Jendro, such as Jendorn, Jendon, and Endro, though the first was a very minor character and the second was a planet. The third, however, played a major part in the book "Planet Hoppers." To my knowlege, Talon and Endro have never appeared in the same book, though there are many (including Planet Hoppers, which is in fact an e-book written to go along with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game) that I have yet to read.

Yes, I'm a dork.--{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 09:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

SBLOUNSKCHED!: Grammatical Error?

== Trouper. Not trooper. ==

People keep changing the transcript. Strong Bad says that Lil' Brudder is "such a trouper." People keep changing it to "trooper."
A "trouper" is a reliable, uncomplaining, hardworking person, like Lil' Brudder. It can also refer to a member of an acting troupe, but not here.

A "trooper" originally meant a member of the calvary. From that it came to mean a mounted police officer, and then later a state police officer who operates from his or her car. (Since cars are mounts like horses.)

Lil' Brudder is a "trouper," not a "trooper."

:I'll put a note in the transcript. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

== Trooper. Not trouper. ==

Check the original.

==Rudy Reference?==
Li'l Brudder wants to be a quarterback when he grows up. The movie "Rudy" is a tearjerker about a boy who wants to play football for Notre Dame, even though "his grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players." IMDb says "But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people"! Awww. ~[[User:AC|AC]]

== 2,000 yards ==

The reference to 2,000 yards being only 125 yards a game seems a bit of a stretch, as LB doesn't say he would do it in one season, but just that he would throw that far, which would suggest to me that he meant he would throw it that far in one go.

That Time of Year

SBLOUNSKCHED! — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 07:58:48 GMT

SBLOUNSKCHED!: Rat King = Nutcracker reference?

[[Image:dweenkidsbook.PNG|thumb|"The boy gets financial advice from the rat king."]]

A holiday kids book by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]], reinterpreted by [[Strong Bad]] in the style of his [[kids' book]].

'''Page Title:''' From the Whimsical mind of Leomard Sportsinterviews

== Transcript ==
''{A book is seen resting on a table. Its title is "That Time of Year". On the front there is a picture of a boy making a snowman, and holding a hat, with a sprig of holly at the top. A [[Cheap as Free]] logo is in the top left.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' That time of year, by Leomard 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Strong Bad! 
'''VOICEOVER:''' Sportsinterviews.

''{The book opens to show the first page, which features the same picture as the front cover. For all the pages, the voiceover reads the text, which then changes to an edited version which Strong Bad reads.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Decemberween is almost here. Get ready.

''{The holly becomes edited to resemble a praying mantis and a pistol is drawn in the boy's hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' De Giant Mantis is almost here. Get ready to be pistol-whipped, snowman! Or... ''{eyes appear on the hat the boy is holding and a worm's body is drawn, attached to it}'' "Erweenga" is the name of the striped ''{pronounced "stripèd"}'' worm. Get dead, kid.

''{The page turns to show a picture of a present, with a mouse wearing a Santa Claus hat pointing to it.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Does the package have a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' troll in it? ''{a troll appears, peeping round the edge of the present}'' 
'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' doll in it? Or maybe—

'''STRONG BAD:''' a troll? ''{another one appears on the other side}'' 
'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' a train?

''{The page turns to show a boy pulling a sled and holding out his hand on a snow-covered landscape.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Snow falls from the 'bove. It's cold when it snows.

''{The falling snowflakes become the centers of eyeballs and a rat wearing a crown appears in the boy's hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, a million eyeballs fall from the 'bove. The boy gets financial advice from the rat king. Or... ''{a black orb appears in the boy's hand and his face is shown to be on fire}'' Show the future, magic ball!! It burns flesh when it glows.

''{The page turns to show three adults singing at the end of a walled path, while a young girl peeps out from behind the legs of one of them. One of the adults is holding a candy cane.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': The Martins sing festive songs for the neighbors.

''{A lampshade appears on one of the adults' head. Glasses of some alcholic beverage appear on the candy cane, in one person's hand and in the air. A spray paint can appears in the girl's hand and an image of Trogdor appears on the wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': The martinis have gone straight to their heads. The neighbors will probably call the cops.

''{The page turns to show a wooly hat on a table next to a plate of seasonal biscuits. An arm is pointing to it.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': Wear a hat. Don't forget to wear a hat!

''{Angry eyes, horns, and a mouth with a forked tongue protruding from it appear on the hat. Copious jewelry appears on the hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': I swear that thing is evil. Liberace is fixing to lose a finger.

''{The page turns to show a girl opening an oven, while a mouse in a Santa Claus hat looks on.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': Greta is making cookies. When will they be done?

''{A punk hairstyle and fishnet tight patterns appear on Greta and a can of bug spray appears in her hand. She is spraying a cloud of it at the mouse.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Greta is feeding the mouse bug spray. When will he be done for?

''{The page turns to show people emerging from a store, carrying presents.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': The store is crowded with 

''{A face and robotic arms appear on the nearest stack of presents. An agonized expression appears on the man who is carrying them. Other robots appear in the background.}'' 

'''STRONG BAD''': robots bursting out of people. Oh the humanity! 
'''VOICEOVER''': ''{simultaneously}'' people buying things for other people. Oh boy! 

''{The page turns to show three children looking in at a stack of presents from another room.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': Decemberween is here. Decemberween is here. Today.

''{A glowing aura appears around the presents and arms appear on the children's heads.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Radioactivity is here. Growing arms out of heads is here. Today! Or... ''{Strong Bad appears, wrapping his arms around the presents.}'' I am here stealing your presents. Sorry kids, today is not your lucky day.

''{The book closes}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Despite various debates about [[Cold One]]s, the crack about martinis going to people's heads is an unquestionable alcohol reference.

===Goofs===
*When the Martins' page is turned, the text changes to "The song they sing is pretty. Very pretty, indeed."
*When the page about Greta is turned, the text changes to "Greta ismaking cookies. When will they be done?" Not much of a difference, except that the space between is and making is missing.

=== Remarks ===
*The voiceover reading the original book sounds uncannily like [[Mike Chapman]].
*Strong Bad says, "Liberace is FIXING TO lose a finger." The phrase "[[Wikipedia:Southern_American_English#Word_use|fixing to]]" is distinctly southern. [[The Brothers Chaps]] are from Georgia.
*Even though the page is turned several times (and possibly to the end), the thickness of both the left side and the right side of the pages (the right side is thicker) always stays the same.

===Inside References===
*If you look closely you can see the book belongs to [[Cherry Greg]], a H*R director.
*During the "Martinis" part, the little girl spraypaints a picture of {{Film|Trogdor}} on the bricks.
*The line "From the 'bove" is a reference to [[Moving Very Slowly]].

===Real World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Liberace|Liberace]] was a professional piano player, famous for his exuberant and often flamboyant act and pianos. He was very fond of his expensive jewelry and rings.
*Whenever the page turns, a bell sound plays. This may be a reference to audiotaped versions of children's books, that play a sound whenever the reader is supposed to turn the page.
*The striped worm that Strong Bad draws on the first page looks just like the worm that eats Christmas trees and presents in [[Wikipedia: The Nightmare Before Christmas|The Nightmare Before Christmas]] (Which, in itself, was based on the Saturn Sandworm from [[Wikipedia: Beetlejuice|Beetlejuice]]).
*The golden stripe on the book is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Little Golden Books|Little Golden Books]].
*The rat king is likely a reference to the Mouse King, the main antagonist in [[Wikipedia:Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's]] famous Christmas ballet, "[[Wikipedia:The Nutcracker|The Nutcracker]]."

== DVD Version ==

* Both "trolls" appear simultaneously. Strong Bad also doesn't scribble out the replaced "d" and "ain", but instead draws a line through each word and writes the full word "troll" next to each one.
* In Strong Bad's "magic ball" rewrite, he only scratches out the words "falls from" once (instead of three times) and the word "'bove" is not scratched out at all (Strong Bad still does not read it.)

'''Page Title:''' Folky Tales

== Transcript ==
''{We open to a shot of Strong Sad and Coach Z standing in the Athletic Field, which has been painted to resemble a soccer field. A knotted rope is dangling from above.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Come on, Strong Sad, I knows you can do it! Just cram a little oom-pah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no times!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Look, I'm willing to ignore that ''{winces}'' "oom-pah down my pants" comment, ''{looks back at Coach Z}'' but I'm more concerned ''{looks up at the rope}'' with what that rope is attached to.

'''COACH Z:''' Never you mind! Just get to climbin'!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, ropes are for dopes!

'''COACH Z:''' What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' Scripture?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.

'''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if ya ask me.

''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington...

''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides off the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm. They both died! Isn't that great?

''{The girl starts crying. Cut to another area of the field, with a tree stump and squirrel in it.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time. I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?

''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles, just sadness and misery.

''{Cut to a town.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner. And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?!

''{Cut to a shot of Saddy and the Mayor standing in the town square.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So one day, the Mayor ordered—

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Oh, I know this part!

''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers—

''{A paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS". Saddy and the Mayor each walk off either side of the screen as the three Dancing Brothers slide to the center.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' —to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival!

''{Motown-style music starts playing, and the brothers start dancing}''

'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a good time tonight!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look at 'em go!

'''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real"}'' good time toni—

''{The music stops abruptly with a record scratch}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately!

''{The shoes break, and a cane drags the brothers off-screen. Saddy and the Mayor fly back onto the screen from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Mayor then ordered Saddy Dumpington to leave town and never speak to its citizens again.

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' But, Mr. Mayor, sometimes, dogs get so hungry, they eat their own tails! Isn't that—

''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy. Cut to a hill far outside of the town.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' —greeeeeeaaaaattt!

''{Saddy flies out of the town and falls tenderly on the hill. Fade to a forest. Saddy is walking through it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of critters 'long the way.

''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket. You have no central nervous system, so it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?

''{Cut to another area of the woods, where Saddy is talking to a fox.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers?

''{Saddy looks around. The piece of paper falls from the top of the screen again, and The Dancing Brothers fall into the frame, dancing.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Glenn", "Martbell", and the "Killer Dynamo"! ''{music begins playing.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time toni—

''{Again, the music scratches to a halt. The Dancing Brothers look dejected}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No! The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas!

''{The Brothers start sneezing}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, jeez, that's harsh!

''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then one day, ol' Dumps here got a message from town!

''{An arrow with a message attached flies into a tree. Cut to a close-up of the letter. As the message is spoken, the words appear on the page.}''

<blockquote style="width:300px">Saddy, 
We haven't stopped laughing 
since you left. No one can get any 
work done. We need you to come 
say something miserable and 
depressing so we can have our 
lives back. 

<div align="right">Talk atcha later, The Townsfolk</div></blockquote>

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Something miserable and depressing? I've never thought of such a thing.

''{An odd-looking purple snake with a tuft of hair on its head slithers toward Saddy.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Um... would weird snakes be considered depressing?

''{cut to an evening shot of the field. Saddy is silhouetted against the background and appears to be wearing an odd tail.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So he strolled into town, dressed as a weird snake.

''{Cut to the town. Saddy Dumpington is wearing a costume reminiscent of the weird snake he found by the pond. All the townsfolk are laughing.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I'm a weird, weird snake, everyone. My name is Weird Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives.

''{The townsfolk all collapse, and one person falls from above the frame. Cut back to the Athletic Field, the rope and Coach Z still present.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And that brings me to this rope. I'm gonna pass out if I have to climb this rope!

'''COACH Z:''' Man, Strong Sad, that's a real load right there. A ''real load!'' That kind of thing might work on Coach X, or Coach Y, ''{loudly}'' ''but you're dealing with Coach dang Z!!'' Now get up that rope!!!

''{Strong Sad moans and passes out}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, jeez! I killed the Elephant Man!! Oh, this is bad! This is rrrl bad, man! What would the Dancin' Brothers do in a sitch'ation like this?

''{thinks for a moment and then starts dancing and singing}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time tonight! ''{dances off the screen.}'' Gonna have a good time...

''{Strong Sad opens his eyes and turns his head toward the camera}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{grinning slightly}'' Works every time!

'''SINGERS:''' ''{along with the music that starts playing}'' Gonna have a real good, good, good, good, good time tonight!

''{Strong Sad pretends to go back into unconsciousness. The screen darkens, and "end." appears, accompanied by Saddy Dumpington's head.}''

:'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping in from the top of the stand}'' Who was that?
:
:'''BUBS:''' Ah, that was just Homestar. Now keep outta sight!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{makes a panicked noise and hides again}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Vertebrates|Vertebrates]] possess a [[Wikipedia:central nervous system|central nervous system]] consisting of the brain and spinal cord. [[Wikipedia:Invertebrate|Invertebrates]] (including [[Wikipedia:insects|insects]] like [[Wikipedia:Cricket (insect)|crickets]]) possess a nervous system, but do not have a spinal cord.

===Trivia===
*This is the first toon that features members of the main cast but in which neither [[Homestar Runner]] nor [[Strong Bad]] makes an appearance. However, it appears that Bubs spoke with Homestar on the phone.
*The paper texture is made using a low-opacity bitmap overlay that covers the entire window. The drawings themselves are not bitmaps.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad says that "Ropes are for dopes" is a quote from the legendary folk hero he made up, but neither ropes nor dopes are mentioned in the story itself, or the blog entry where Saddy Dumpington first appeared.
*In the scene where the townsfolk laugh until they pass out, the man in the front left looks identical to the man in the back right, only mirrored. Once everyone passes out, a man falls from above who looks identical to the person in the back left.

===Goofs===
[[Image:folky tale goof.PNG|thumb|Look closely...|120px]]
*When Strong Sad falls down at the end of the toon, the shape created and overlaid on the background to show his indention in the grass does not quite match the background. The green and the white are both slightly brighter, and the seam in the white circle doesn't line up.

===Inside References===
*Saddy Dumpington was introduced in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
*Coach Z thinks he [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|killed Strong Sad]].
*Listening to Bubs's end of the phone conversation, Homestar apparently calls Bubs his "dog." He refers to other characters this way in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] and [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival is probably a pun on the musical genres "[[Wikipedia:Rock (music)|rock]]" and "[[Wikipedia:Bluegrass music|bluegrass]]," though it may also be a reference to the [http://www.grassrootsfest.org/ GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance].
*Coach Z calling Strong Bad "The Elephant Man" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Joseph Merrick|Joseph Merrick]] (1862–1890), a person from the late 19th century known for being deformed as a result of either [[Wikipedia:Proteus syndrome|Proteus syndrome]] or [[Wikipedia:Neurofibromatosis|Neurofibromatosis]].

== Grayest or Greatest? ==

"STRONG SAD: {groans} This is the ______ day of my life. I feel like a few dollars."

Alright, this has been changed multiple times now. Is he saying "grayest" or "greatest?" {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:34, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*'''Greatest.''' Not only is that I hear it as, but "grayest" doesn't make sense in context. (regarding the dollar sentence) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I definitely hear a consonant in there. It's a little muffled because of his illness. The joke is that for a depressing person, being sick means he's actually having a good day. The second line is a play on "I feel like a million dollars," which only a person having the greatest day of their life would say. The ''grayest'' day of Strong Sad's life is every other day. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*'''Greatest.''' For all the reasons already stated. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:39, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' See above, and earlier someone put ''greenest'', so I went back to hear it carefully, and indeed heard him pronounce the consontant! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:29, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Grayest.''' - when someone has the greatest day of their life, they feel like a million dollars. When someone has the grayest day, they only feel like a few dollars. Makes perfect sense.
** I know this isn't [[STUFF]], but sign your votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Strong Sad never has a good day, ever. It makes sense for him to think the greatest day of his life to be worth a couple bucks. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 21:45, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greenest!''' Seriously! That's what I thought when he said it. Why else would he say like he felt like some dollar bills? Also, his face looked green. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]

**'''Comment.''' Greediest? "This is the greediest day of my life."?! That makes no sense, and I hear greatest. I think the conclusion is obvious now. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
*'''Greatest.''' Not because it necessarily makes sense in context or in character or anything like that, but just because that's what it sounds like. Actually it sounds more like "Greadest" but anyone who's had a blocked nose knows that 't's are hard to pronounce and often come out as 'd's. {{User:phlip/sig}} 03:28, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Indeed, it is 'greatest.' The "t" is partially swallowed, (or, to take the "hooked on phonetics" route, his pronunciation has an incomplete plosive stop, muddying the sharpness of the "t"), but it is there. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:04, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' The ''t'' is kind of blended with the ''est'', so I could see why people could think it was grayest. But, it's Greatest.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Just curious here. How many of you are listening to H*R on a crisp headset? It's much easier tell what is being said on those, compared to awkward computer speakers. The "T" sound in '''Greatest''' is hardly audible, I'll give you that. But if you are a native speaker of English, you know very well that you can make an understood "T" sound by barely touching the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Go on, try saying it.

::::::::::::I defended you, Camalex, largely because very insulting language had made its way into the edit summaries. What stays and what goes in the Wiki is never really a measure of the absolute truth (or absolute "stupidity" or obviousness) of a given fact; the Wiki is a liquid that assumes the form of its users. Some facts never have a chance from the get go, but that's simply because the weight of opinion is so strong against them that they could be described as "stupid." (Though I'd rather not.) Like a river finding its way through mountains, the Wiki oscillates between conflicting opinions and finally stabilizes in something that expresses the average of those opinions. Sometimes it's a million to one; sometimes, like the infamous Family Guy, it's a hotly contested oscillation, and an uneasy stability. But, aside from obvious objective realities about the 'toons, the Wiki is a joint agreement of subjective opinions. If, years in the future, a generation of wikiers with completely different opinions about these things were in charge, the Wiki would adapt to the averaged contours of their opinions. I'm getting too wordy--my point is, it's understandable to be angered by the perception that your initial contributions to the Wiki are unwanted (I made several false starts for the same reason). I tried to squelch some dialogue that was not making the Wiki a "happy place"--so don't respond to it in kind. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:09, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Gentlemen(?), gentlemen! The WRWiki is a lively place that often reminds me of gas in a compressed space. You have all these molecules bouncing and slamming and whipping around...well, to make the analogy make more sense, the molecules would have to have feelings. And know how to edit wiki-style. And know something about Homestar Runner. Regardless, sometimes the best laid edits of mice and diffrent mice get reverted, or changed, or deleted. It's frustrating, especially for those who want desperately to contribute. And sometimes this leads to a bit of testiness, or outright name-calling between users when things don't go exactly as they planned. My advice, as trite as it may sound, is ''relax''. Contributions, recognition and ''acceptance'' stack up with time, and letting set-backs freak you out or drag you down (to the point of feeling a persecution complex) isn't positive for anyone.

Taking things too personally can lead to the, um, Dark Side of Wikidom. Let me close with an awful limerick about a real experience I had that sort of relates to the issue:

<center>''There was once a anonymous user with an IP,'' 

''and I reverted some changes of he.'' 

''Not much did he like this,'' 

''and with a sure quickness,'' 

''he wrote some profane stuff about me.''</center>

But it is good to talk, good to vent. But ''relax''. We should all be able to work things out in a civil way. And maybe we'll all get closer to that "happy place." — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Speaking of which, why is Strong Mads room toxic? [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

I don't know. I think it's just a continuation of TBC's love of old timey cartography.

Maybe his breath was bad and since he shouts all the time... [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

I don't think the map really looks like Peasantry... IMO, this is a reference to the Lord of the Rings maps that appear in the beginning of the books (at least the editions I have) - especially considering the spelling of "Egglünd" and "Eggmünd" - Tolkien seemed to have a liking of those sorts of vowel accents without any real reason behind them, though he was admittedly more fond of accents such as "â," as in "Rohân." Also, "Whatsitshire" sounds suspiciously like "The Shire." Just a thought. --{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 08:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

== Sick Chaps? ==

Ever since 12AM Monday morning, I had been wondering why their was no new SB email for this week. Then this thing came out in the later the same day, as a toon. But I noticed it seemed like maybe it was originally intended to be an SB email, especially because Strong Bad got an email at the beginning. I was just thinking maybe Mike Chapman himself might have gotten sick, which could explain the lack of an SB email, and could have inspired the short itself. What does anyone else think about this?--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 06:47, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:There's certainly nothing unusual about a Monday release being late in the day. But what with all the talk of who's sick, it did cross my mind that maybe the inspiration was that TBC themselves had a bug. Of course they wouldn't be as incapacitated as everybody in the 'toon, or else they wouldn't feel like doing one any more than Strong Bad. Of course this remains the wildest of speculation; I just wanted to say it did cross my mind as well. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 07:32, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::But still, this is a toon, not a SB email. That means that no SB email was released for this week.

== Used How Many Times? ==

I'm just wondering if there deserves to be a remark on how many times those tissues have already been used. (as Strong Bad's wording is slightly ambiguous) "Already Re-Reused Ones" by my count it is three times. (Used is once, reused is two, re-reused is three and the "already" is inconsequential, since "used" and "already used" mean the same thing) It's a little bland for a remark, but I thought I'd propose it.

I thought it was interesting that on the following sticky note, part of the drawing is on Homestar's shirt.

== Cheatball's voice ==

Is it just me, or does it sound like the Cheatball is voiced by Missy Palmer? I heard it while I was looking at another browser (which allows me to focus more on the sound), and it sounded very much like her voice saying "Cheatball".--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 16:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

: I would disagree that it sounds like Missy, I doubt that she did the voice on this one. I have a voice that is very similar to Matt's (and I do voice acting too) and wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that he did this voice too. It's much like a Jigglypuff voice. -The Shadow

== Number of Conversations ==

This may be just another profitless discussion guys, but when I watched the cartoon for the first time (and subsequent times) I thought that Homestar said that they had this conversation "Twenty-five" times, and it surprised me when I saw the transcript state "thirty-five." This is probably something that can't be resolved except by the Brothers Chaps, since essentially Homestar says "unny-five" and isn't very clear. At least not to myself. -The Shadow

:::::Using the word "get" in that way *is* a generic Japanese video game thing, but only because it's a generic Japanese language thing. 『Ｘ』ゲットis used as an exclamation to mean that one has obtained 『Ｘ』. Since the word ゲット was imported from English, however, Japanese video game programmers are likely to believe that the phrase "'X' get!" is used in English as well, hence leaving the phrase untranslated.
That was me who posted it before, I didn't know it existed in other games though, so yeah I agree with it's removal.

== Buttness between Coach Z & Homestar? ==

Yeah. Why did Coach Z pat Homestar's butt, and why did Homestar seem to like it? Do Coach Z and Homestar...smell...of...elderberries?

-Alex H.

:Well, as I interpreted it, Homestar (and Coach Z, arguably) believe that a butt pat is somewhere between a reward and a sign that the recipient of the butt pat is doing a good job. So naturally, Homestar was pleased that he received 22 butt pats in 1984, meaning that he was doing a good job at whatever sport they were playing.

:Also, I don't think that TBC are going to address sexuality in any way, shape, or form, as long as preteens are in the audience. --[[User:Proxtown|Proxtown]] 06:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

== Is Homestar Wery Old? ==

I just realized, if Homestar was alive and of suitable age to play sports and receive butt pats in 1984, that would put him in his thirties or forties, unless a) he was just speaking mendacities, or b) Homestarrunner is set in a different time than the present (both of which are plausible).

== Not safe anywhere? ==

Does anyone know why Strong Bad pronounces "N.S. CANADA" as "not safe in Canada" and remarks that "[he'll] lay low here in the states for a while until things cool off" after?

== Explanation seems overly convoluted ==

This entry in the "explanations" seems to be reading too much into a simple line:
*"Fiery How to Play [[Deliberately Poor English|Convusion]]" is a reference to the "How to Play" card in some card games.
Certainly this could also be simply a reference to Stinkoman's inability to decypher the card goings-on, especially given the third Remark revealing that it is phrased differently in the shadow. It may also be a reference to the fact that in monster training games/shows, especially Pokemon, anything a creature does is often named and called an "attack" - e.g. a bulbasaur (small dinosaur with a bud that sprouts prehensile vines on its back) moving anything with its vines is often announced loudly as a "vine whip attack." That second point may be more up for debate but it seems like this explanation line is a stretch.

== the Cheat or The Cheat?==

Strong Bad spells it as "the Cheat" in this SBemail. I thought the "the" had a capital T? Just saying.
:Yeah, it happens a lot. Properly it's The Cheat, but he spells it "the Cheat" so often it doesn't need to be remarked on. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I'm assuming that's ↑ out of date. There's no timestamp. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

If the graphic accompanying the toon is correct, then Yello Dello just ''barely'' doesn't fit. Not even half the -''O'' is missing. I don't think this qualifies as being too long, because it's still completely readable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:46, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, I'm unsure about it. But it ''does'' still get cut off. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 18:04, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Added==
The button was added to main page 22, no word on virus yet...
:Not here it hasn't (yes I've tried emptying the cache) - you do know it was talking about the little navbar down the bottom, not the R at the top, right? (though Virus doesn't have one of those either) {{User:phlip/sig}} 08:26, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't expect it to be added in either. The main navbar at the bottom is one flash file linked to from all (most) pages, as are the now 4 buttons at the top of main pages. In mp22 and virus, the navbar is not separate, since it interacts with the main toon. They'd have to go back and edit both mp22 and virus to add that 'rando' link.
:the random toon link is on main page 22 but it's not in the virus e-mail(I checked 3 seconds before typing this.)-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 00:45, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
::No, it's not. Were you thinking of the random link at the top of the main page? Because main page 22 does not have updated navbar. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 01:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

==XML Comment?==

Does anybody remember exactly what it said? It might be kinda neat to add the working of the note. I know I'm curious what it said... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:06, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:There was only one comment in the one I downloaded (other than the section headers), and it read: <tt><nowiki></nowiki></tt>. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:33, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Thanks, ADD'D! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:43, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== "Rando"? ==

What's up with the name of the "rando" link? The only thing i can think of was on an episode of MST3K once, where during the credits there was a person named Rando and Tom Servo kept going on about "The Amazing Rando!". But i have no idea what else it could be in reference to...or why they would do that. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 17:32, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Maybe "Random" Wouldn't fit? :) Seriously though, beat's me. Why Decemberween? Why Arrow'd? Could just be good ol' brother's chaps. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:50, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I also immediately thought of The Amazing Rando from MST3K. I wouldn't be surprised if it were a reference, but not certain enough to add a Fun Fact. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 23:02, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Just for anyone interested, here's some "Amazing Rando" soundbytes: [http://members.tripod.com/~Rover_Wow/mstwavs.htm mst3k wavs]. Looks like the Amazing Rando ([http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0773556/ Rando Schmook]) was a set designer on MST3k - The Movie. Too bad this is all pure speculation, and not enough to warrant being a legit fact.--[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 13:35, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::I also think it's a reference to Amazing Rando (who once did battle with Eastman!). There was the Tom Servo in "A Jorb Well Done," so TBC probably do watch MST3K... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:05, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

TBC also referenced MST3K in an interview. {{User:Trogga/sig}}

== Ding~! ==

Is it just me, or does the sound that the Main Page's selector make when it lands on one sound kinda fammiliar? I can't put my finger on anything, but I swear I've heard either that sound or a very similar one in something else.

And yes, I'm aware that this kind of sound effect is fairly genetic. But this particular one still sounds very fammiliar.

-[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]

:I want to say that it is similar to the sound effects from Street Fighter 2, when you enter another credit and continue the game...Or something like that. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 13:31, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:It's definitely from a video game. I think it's the sound from Metal Gear for NES when you start a new game.. it's some sort of "game start"/"character selection" sound from some game. [[User:socetew|socetew]] 10.17.5

I just checked on ROMs of both Street Fighter 2 and Metal Gear that I had handy. The sound is quite similar to the Metal Gear one, but still distinct from both of 'em. It's definately in that vein, though. -[[User:67.22.197.57|67.22.197.57]]

== Random Email ==
*Anyone else not see the Random Email feature? I see the random toon one, just not the email version. I use Mozilla, and my Internet Explorer has it on there... what's going on? Is it just me not knowing about computers? --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 23:42, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)
**Same thing happened to me. Try clearing the cashe, (Ctr + F5), on the Strong Bad Email Menu, and look in the top right. If you have the new Scroll Button Rap, then it should be there. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:45, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Weird, I tried and it didn't work... have any other ideas? Thanks. =) (Never mind, got it! Thanks one million!)--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 00:32, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Glitches==

TBC sure fixed those glitches fast. Am I the only one who thinks they may have been watching our debugging, and fixing everything we meantioned? Dunno, could just be me, but it sure feels like we helped them out somehow. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:45, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=183566#183566 thought that]... {{User:phlip/sig}} 00:55, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yep, expecially the too-long name ones. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

==Main Page==

Since this has now been included on the Main Page, Alongside both Legal and Sketchbook, this page should probably be linked somewhere on our main page. We do have far more minor articles, such as 'Legal'. But can anybody decide exactly where? I'm thinking either after Legal or Museum in the list at the very top, or alongside 'Weeklies' and change the name to something like 'Top Button Menu' or something. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 13:02, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I think it would work best amough the "Weeklies," but I'm not sure what that categories new name would be. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

::''Roll Over Buttons'' or ''Featured Buttons'' maybe? I dunno. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:58, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==New Toons==
I see that we've already noted that [[Commandos in the Classroom]] isn't listed in the XML file. Shouldn't we give them a grace period of at least a couple of hours (I'm thinking more like a few days) before we nitpick them on this? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:59, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think a grace period is in order. They can't be expected to do everything right off the bat. They may be the Brothers Chaps, but they're still only human. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Are they gonna need to shorten it? (The title) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:00, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::My thinking when I added that fact was simply - it's not there now, which is notable now. If and when it is added later, provided it doesn't take absurdly long, it will no longer be notable and should just be removed (if it does take a rather long time then maybe have it go through STUFF with the appropriate dates). Also, as for the "couple of hours" thing, it has been a good 2 days... {{User:phlip/sig}} 23:47, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Wait... I just saw the date on IDC's message and checked the history... it seems you were talking about Venusy's addition [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Random_Toon&diff=143507&oldid=143486 here] rather than the fact I just recently added to the [[Commandos in the Classroom]] page... never mind then. {{User:phlip/sig}} 23:50, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Decemberween In July Titles==

I just noticed a toon on the list, titled [[That Time of Year]]. This is [[TBC]]'s title for [[Decemberween Kids' Book]]. Which means we should probably move it. Which got me thinking, what are the titles for all the other Decemberween In July Toons they got in the XML list? Are we gonna have to move several of them? Did they even include the Decemberween in July easter egg toons (Seasonal Sweaters and Santaman ones I belive) in the Random Toons list? Some kinda meantion of this special case, (Spliting up the main Toons menu Toon into five or six sub-toons for the random toons list) should probably be made. Anyways, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:10, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:After further investigation, it seems that the only anomaly is [[That Time of Year]], with the possible exception of flipping around the titles to [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]] and [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. But we should probably move [[Decemberween Kids' Book]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:24, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Added Section / Page==

Should we add a new page or section for the entire XML list, basically a cleaned up list of the following, with links, to all the toons in the random selection. Or does this violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]]? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:20, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I thought about doing this on [[Secret Pages]], like the weeklies XML is, but this is a lot longer than that... If we're going to do it it should be a seperate page, or a subpage or something, rather than a section of this page, but I'm not sure if it needs doing... Still, I'll pretty up this list to save you the effort if you decide to do it... {{User:phlip/sig}} 00:16, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Virus?==

Should we mention that there still is no random button with the little grey links in [[virus]], or should we just consider that as part of the toon itself? [[User:JimmyEatPage|JimmyEatPage]] 05:13, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:That is mentioned. See the section on [[Random Toon#Navigation Bar|the navigation bar]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:33, 18 September 2005 (BST)

== Strong Bad Emails... ==

I was thinking: Since SBemails appear way too often on the random toon thing (this wouldn't be a problem to me but he's got his very own randomiser) maybe we should all keep mailing TBC in a wasted effort to convince them to remove the SBemails from the random toon button.

I would've thought that it were be there to give the other toons a chance to shine.
:Why would we want to do that? I like it the way it is. (I just wish they'd add those new toons.) If you want to watch something that isn't an email, simply press "Again" if you get an email. You'll get something different soon enough. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Has anyone else noticed that some randoms seem to be... well, more than random? I seem to get the "Band Names" sbemail once every 3 or 4 clicks on random...
:It's probably a coincidence. No need to worry. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

== Random Toon not-so-random? ==

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes random seems to be... well, not very random? I seem to get the "Band Names" sbemail once every 3 or 4 clicks on random...

:No, it's random, that would be a coincidence. See [[Forum:5495|this forum thread]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

<strike>This could just be a glitch or something, but when I press the random.bat, it doesn't follow the hilighted selection.

==The Mysterious Disappearing Rando!==

'''File not found'''

Firefox can't find the file at /rando.swf.

*Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
*Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

Right now, May 26, at 2:34 AM EST, rando.swf DOES NOT EXIST on the Homestar Runner website. They probably have it down for maintenence or something, but it might be worth noting its sudden disappearance somewhere. This means that clicking on the random toon button on any main page currently does absolutely nothing,.

It seems that the navbar has disappeared, as well. Odd. It'll probably be back soon, but why take it off to begin with?

=='''Explanatory note'''==
On Oct. 9, 2005, I changed my name from '''notstrongorbad''' to '''AbdiViklas'''. This was prompted by the fact that MediaWiki 1.5.0 wouldn't accept uncapitalized usernames, but motivated by a long-standing wish for a different name. So you'll see a lot of "notstrongorbad" signatures below; that was me. I've changed a few instances, especially when they link, to AbdiViklas.

I haven't had time but to skim it so far, but I wanted to go ahead and leave a note to say thanks for letting us know about yourself. I myself was a music ed major in college (actually a double major with Spanish—and now I'm a graphic designer). I primarily played horn, but I also had to learn all the other instruments, including violin, as part of my degree plan. Cello was my favorite stringed instrument. Well, it's late, so I will give your user page the closer read it deserves in the morning. Talk atcha later! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:01, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Whoa! A graphic designer who can speak Spanish and play every instrument! You should, like, write an opera in Spanish and record every part yourself, then design the CD cover!
::LOL. Nice. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:09, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:It's funny you say that, because that's a lot of what I do. I don't write operas, but I help publish a music educators magazine for our state association. I still speak Spanish (although not as much as I should to remain fluent... gotta get on that), and I just recently finished a CD cover. If I did write an opera (and it was hard enough just writing for theory and comp classes), I don't think I could record every part myself... that is, I can play brass instruments pretty well, but my best song on the violin was "Go Tell Aunt Rhody." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Can you help me? ==

What is this STUFF and everything you were talking about? And can you see what this little 15 year old punk did? Every move I made he reverted, even though all but the first email one was valid.

-Mortacai
:     Absolutely. First of all, the links that bkmlb left on your talk page are good reading; [[Help:Contents|Help]] is mostly on ''how'' to do things, [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] more on ''what'' to do. But they're kind of a lot to take in; I just today noticed some excellent details on how to make some stuff more easily at [[Help:Contents#Specific Help]]. 
:     But to answer your question: [[HRWiki:STUFF]] is a sort of formal voting process. Using the most recent email as an example: usually when an email comes out, disagreements will arise about what they're saying; at first people will talk about them in [[Talk:geddup noise|that email's Talk page]], and if there are two clear sides, or if it's an important issue, someone will move the fact being discussed into [[Template:STUFF/geddup noise|Stuff]], using the process described in [[HRWiki:STUFF]]. There it'll be voted on; even if it's declined those votes and arguments will be archived forever and can be found. Voting tends to be pretty restrictive, i.e. not much gets by; if I'm really interested in an e-mail I'll check the archived Stuff arguments. For instance: the possible bit of trivia expressed in [[Talk:Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_9#Byrds_reference]] is way too speculative to appear in the official, user-end page for that 'toon, but it's helpful to know. 
:     By the way, I know it's frustrating being repeatedly reverted, but dramatic actions to the official, front-page part of an article are simply met with equally dramatic reversal. When that happens, just move your point to the less public Talk or Stuff venues, and see what majority opinion is. You might be overruled, but you always have the right to express your opinion (there, at least). For example, in [[do over]], there was a LONG and HEATED debate about a possible [[Talk:do_over#Change_of_Pace_.28ACCEPTED.29|Family Guy reference]]. Jay was strongly against it, and in the end was voted down; he had to live with it, but was able to [[Talk:do_over#IMMEDIATE_contesting_of_an_Accepted_fact|continue the debate]]. 
:     So yeah, what Camalex did wasn't really unusual or rude, just the way it's done. Also, this Wiki is an amazingly civil and democratic place; conversation is (usually) done politely, and someone's age doesn't really have much to do with it. There are quite a few amazingly mature, articulate, ca.-12-yr-old users who keep the place shipshape. 
:     I know this is long, but I just wanted to say great edit on [[guitar]]. I can't believe no one had caught that earlier. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Tha Lyrical Flow==
Hey, '''notstrongorbad''', just dropping you a line. So, you're the master of the violin, eh? My girlfriend plays one of those things in something called an "orchestra," but that just sounds like crazy music-talk to me. Dozens of musicians all playing a variety of instruments at the ''same time''? Can it be ''done''? Furthermore, do you get in bragging rights fights with the viola people? Have you ever played "the word's smallest violin" for someone?

I myself only play the electrical guitar and the electric bass, and I have zero formal training in either. Needless to say, I would never call myself a "guitarist." But, for the style of music I play (punk), ''no'' talent is necessary! Anyway, I dig your long-winded, rambling comments. There's too much succinctness, terseness and brevity at the wiki, and running up the word count rules. Cheers, {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:46, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, I used to play in a couple of community "orchestra"-contraptions until this thing called '''grad school''' (imagine [[origins|jittery green text]] plus "lurking horrors" sfx) happened. And yeah, I don't know about bragging, but violins and violas get in some good jokes at each others' expence. ("Which is bigger, a vln. or vla.? Really they're the same size; it just looks that way 'cause the violinists have such big heads." "How do you tell when the viola section is at your door? '''No one knows when to come in.'''") 
:     But punk's more fun. Now do you mean old-school, The Clash-type punk, or one of the many offspring of punk's indiscriminate liaisons with other genres (hardcore, loudcore, punk-pop (wha??? shouldn't that be a contradiction?)...)? — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 09:05, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::'''nsob''', I knew there was some "good-natured ribbing" going on between the violin/viola sets. That's good to hear, no pun intentionally meant! As for my "craft" I was raised on the smooth, soulful sounds of [[Wikipedia:The Descendents|The Descendents]] and the [[Wikipedia:Dead Kennedys|Dead Kennedys]], so there's more than a little post-surf punk going on in my stuff: tight, sometimes sliding (you know, those surfy "twang") riffs, semi-melodic vocals, and drums that try to mix it up beyond the straight 4/4 (see the "snooty independent record store" easter egg in [[comic]] for more insight on that). My friend (and owner of one of those cute, fledging start-up labels that will be putting my "music" out) calls it "electro-punk", since I use a drum machine. Ah, the Alesis AS-16. So much, ''much'' easier to deal with than an actual drummer.

:::For my next "album," an EP, I'm basically paying tribute to one of my recent punk favorite adoptees, [[Wikipedia: The Alkaline Trio|The Alkaline Trio]], except without all the macabre imagery. Just plety of relentlessly fast guitar work and songs clocking in under two minutes. In fact, I'ma go blaze through a set right now. Thanks for responding and giving me a chance to rant about my music! — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:56, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::LOL—yeah, there's also a joke about that new drum machine, an emulator ''so'' authentic that it shows up half an hour late for rehearsal and then asks to crash at your place because its girlfriend threw it out! (By the way, you can tell when the punk drummer is at your door because... the knocking speeds up whenever it gets louder.) — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 19:35, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::'''Abdi''' - man, is that odd - thanks for the drummer-related laughs. Incidentally, I've worked with about half a dozen drummers, and their biggest crime was being too professional (i.e., ''prima donnas''), but perhaps one day I can work with the guy kicked out of his place by his girlfriend. That, indeed, would be rocking and scary at the same time. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 02:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)~

== Hi from Schuminweb ==

Thanks for the welcome message.

I've actually been familiar with the HRWiki for quite some time, and had a username on here at least as recently as September when I did an edit on Senor Cardgage. Then I attempted to log in to make these most recent edits, and my username was gone (go figure). So I reregistered my same name. Again, go figure.

Otherwise, though, I definitely do know my way around, not only here, but I'm quite a regular Wikipedian.

Still, I don't understand how I lost my username. Ah, well. Life goes on. [[User:Schuminweb|Schuminweb]] 22:49, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Capitalization... It used to be so coooool... ==

It is NOT the standard on this Wiki to write TGS issues in all-lowercase, even though Strong Bad does. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:01, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks! I didn't get an answer on that! So... what gets capitalized? Proper nouns like Nick at Nite? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:07, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

::What about surprising instances; e.g. in the 'toon proper Manolios capitalizes all of his business, "Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-Pawn," but in the easter egg he leaves "Lectro-Pawn" capped and uncaps the rest? Or maybe at that point it's getting too nitpicky. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Rant re TGS 10 ==
''{The STUFF'd fact about the Coach's voice not being Strong Bad's prompted the following entry. Jay quite rightfully got it off the STUFF page, which is hardly the place for it, but I was kind of fond of it, so I moved it here.}'' 
     This is another of those "4th Wall" issues that tend to get me talking [[Talk:geddup_noise#Rant_Re:_Reality|at length]]. I can feel it coming. 
     As something Strong Bad authors, TGS is a fiction ''within'' the fiction Strong Bad exists in. Since its origins in [[comic]], it's been in some ways moving away from an awareness that it's being created by Strong Bad and bleeding into the exterior H*R world (by being listed on Toons, for instance). The increasing frequency of voices that don't sound like Strong Bad would fit this trend (or you could argue they're simply Matt running out of voices). 
     ''On the other hand'', several recent episodes have contained reminders of Strong Bad's authorship; he wrote himself into Episode 9, and now—'''now'''—we have the first appearance of the exterior H*R world in a TGS episode. Although this would seem to contribute to the "bleed" in the previous paragraph, it in fact does the latter; it emphasizes TGS as an interior fiction when we see it lying there on the table. (Of course Strong Bad's makey outy action just throws the whole thing for a loop: first he draws himself ''into'' the interior fiction, then causes his representation ''in that world'' to interact with its characters, then interacts ''himself'' across the existential boundary.) The relative reality (within H*R) of TGS wobbles dramatically during this episode: Strong Sad reduces it to "looose leaf," while Strong Bad gets drawn into its fictional reality (figuratively and literally). The introduction of color and fancier animation is no accident, either; they of course heighten the perceived reality of the TGS universe. Enough to make all our minds spin 360 degrees. 
     So where does that leave me on this vote? Honestly, I dunno. This is sure as heck not the ''first'' time (Mr. Pitters, the vultures that eat him, and others are arguably un-Strong-Bad-like), but whether such voices are in fact '''not''' Strong Bad has to do with how rigid the authorial connection of Strong Bad to TGS has become. If anything, this episode simultaneously weakens and cements that bond. So.... NO. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:07, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

==STUFF nuances==
Hey AbdiViklas (I'm still not used to that). The instructions on the standards page read: "If there's any reasonable doubt, ... please add it to the Talk page or the STUFF page before adding it to the article." Well, that's exactly what Kookykman did, so I don't think it's necessary to list that on the STUFF page. Also, the comments section isn't really for communicating with specific users. That's one of the reasons we don't sign comments, to keep a little distance between the comments and the commenter (and so that we don't degrade into personal attacks (we used to have a ''huge'' problem with that)). Perhaps your comments to Kookykman would be better suited for his talk page. Just a thought. All in all, you're getting the hang of it... just remember, in STUFF, the shorter, the better. This is kind of changing the subject, but while I'm thinking about it, you should join us in the [[HRWiki:IRC channel|IRC chatroom]] sometime. It's much easier to get to know folks, and one can ask questions to his or her heart's content. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:24, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks for the tip! Yeah, the difference between "Talk" and "STUFF" hasn't been entirely clear to me. And yeah, I'd love to hang out on IRC, except that I really ought not to spend even as much time on the Wiki as I do, and can't really bring myself to justify IRC time. Maybe around Thanksgiving break or the likes! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey there. How are ya? When there's more than one STUFF revision, it's not necessary for you to completely move your vote. You should just decline one revision and accept the other. (You could also decline more than one revision, should you choose.) When one of the votes is close, it's actually better if you don't remove yours from the list. The only thing that isn't currently allowed is for someone to ''accept'' more than one revision. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

== Thank you for the welcome. ==

I've actually been around for a while here, (and was at Wikipedia before that) but I guess I brought some attention to myself by STUFFing that fact.

== Strong Bad = Marzipan ==

Hey Abdi! Yeah, I originally heard the song say "Strong Bad ''is'' Marzipan" also... I, too, thought that was weirder than weird. So, you're not alone. Crapfully yours, [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 23:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== T-shirt pitches==
Hey, as a theory type, I was just muddling over whether there were any rhyme or reason to the pitches selected for the t-shirts in the store? I was on the verge of doing a set analysis, but somehow my sense of perspective must have put in an unwonted appearance. I mean, it's probably just Matt humming whatever he wants into a mic--but wouldn't it be cool if it turned out to accidentally fit some complicated explanation! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:22, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:I wondered that myself. For awhile, I thought it was a whole tone scale, but I found that wasn't correct. So, after reading your question, I decided to use my theory chops (and that neat little trick called absolute pitch) to find out what it is. Here's what I got: A-B-C#-D#-F#-G#-A#-C-C#-D-Eb-F-G-Bb. So, there are some whole-tone segments, but it's certainly not entirely whole tone. Not to mention that I swear a few of them are some kind of quarter tone. I can't really find any good pattern for it at all (if only it had been octatonic! A little Homestravinsky Runner!) Geez, the other, normal, non-music-nerd people on the Wiki are going to have no idea what the heck I'm talking about. Anyway, that's the answer I've got for your question. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 04:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
::LOL!! Homestravinsky Runner—''there's'' something for Fanstuff. (How 'bout what would have happened if, instead of They Might Be Giants, they had outsourced [[different town]] to, say, Philip Glass? "''Towanisqatsi'': You'll Think You're Pea-Buried Alive!") But I'm going with the "Matt humming whatever he wants into a mic" analysis. (Though more interesting—perhaps venturing into psychoacoustics?—would be what intervallic structure, invented or otherwise, may have subconsciously influenced his output?) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:42, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I don't know where this fits into the discussion, but I think they recorded the sound once and then modulated it up and/or down. Other than the pitch, the sound effect is uniform from one T-shirt to the next. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

::::Hm—true. Which would actually make it ''more'' likely that the resulting pitches are intentional. Hm. On closer inspection (and note, we're talking about the lineup in [[Flash Store]] here), I hear the last pitches from D through G a half step higher than you (Bb I hear the same). If this were true, and it were reduced into prime form—crap, it still wouldn't be chromatic. I'm not taking the time to think through this very carefully, but I ''think'' prime form would be G#-A-A#-B-C-C#-D#-E-F#. This would be chromatic for the span of a perfect fourth and octatonic for another perfect fourth; there, that makes as good a sense as any. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:17, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

::::: "Rondleman is my D-S-C-H!" Abdi, that is, IMHO, ''at least'' as good as Homestravinsky Runner! You crack me up! Crack! me! up! As for the pitches, you may be right (one thing that was driving me crazy was that a lot of them sounded like they were between two semitones). It's as good a theory as any. This has to be one of the weirdest intersections of Homestar Runner addiction and music nerdiness ever to appear on the Wiki... it's awesome. Maybe I should suggest that the other Homestar fans at my department read this. They'd probably think I've been smoking something. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 01:07, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

::::::Yeah, in particular that D and/or D# for the TGS shirt. If we take that to be a D, it gets even cooler: chromatic G#-D, one tritone; whole-tone D-G# (by implication), the remaining tritone!! (And yes... there needs to be a Trogdorcon-style segment of Strong Bad making fun of anybody who'd do what we just did.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

So, I just found out that I wasn't even looking at the same set of pitches as you. I didn't realize the T-shirt pitches even existed in the new store and was using the old store t-shirt pitches. So, there may be a bit of difference because of that (notably, the old store had more pitches). That being said, I'm a little busy reading ''Stravinsky and the Rite of Spring'' right now to make any comparisons between the collections (although Prof. van den Toorn might be pleased if I found some octatonic/diatonic intersections in the collections...) Anyway, as always, I remain, [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 19:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

:No, I realized we were talking about the [[Flash Store]] when you cited 14 pitches, and my comments above have been in connection to them. I would guess that, even ''if'' there was a musical motivation in their pitch-shifting decisions for the 14-shirt lineup, the pitches that exist in the current store are simply a result of which t-shirts have been dropped. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:36, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

So your edit was actually a good one (although we should still put it in a comment). Unfortunately—since you ''don't'' give arguments to back up your edits, even by using the "Summary:" box, all I could tell was that you didn't know what ''sic'' means.

Some of his edits really are improvements, like correcting something to reflect what SB really typed, but others seem to just add !s where there are few and take them away where there are many. But no, in the final analysis I think he must be well meaning. My only explanation for the silence is either that he's a true "gnome," who tries to do good but is shy and prefers anonymity, or that he's a user so new he hasn't discovered his own talk page or Recent changes, and is simply selecting emails at random.

I guess a lot of people find moveable do useful, but I was always annoyed that my teachers made me use it too when it isn't my ''modus operandi'' at all. Anyway, that's my philosophy.

:::::Actually, that ''is'' my objection to fixed do (one of them); as long as we're using these letters, it's simply a redundant system. If we were French it would be different, but at the moment we already have a system tied to absolute pitch. (Learning it for the purpose of international communication is a different matter; I have a Korean student whom I use it with since he grew up with it; but for sight-singing purposes it doesn't really bring anything new to the party, where as moveable brings an opportunity to engage tonality.) I guess, in pedagogical contexts, its supporters are putting a higher priority on developing absolute pitch than on developing sensitivity to tonal function. Personally, preferring a less eurocentric view of musics, I'm not as wed to a 12-note, octave-based, equal-tempered system as the be-all and end-all; I think training students to critically match a provided pitch is the most important. (I keep having dreams of writing a piece of ear training software with string instruments in mind that uses some midi controller with a slider—preferably emulating the physical instrument—to adjust the user's pitch to match a generated one, with visual representation on-screen and a little "you win!" message when it matches!) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:28, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

''{conversation continued in next section...}''

Oh, something just came into my mind about this earlier today: About the first pronouncement I ever heard on the topic of moveable-do (or any kind of solfège) was from my fabulously musical mother, who bluntly told me, "Solfège is stupid." So, I was probably biased against it from the beginning, and that surely contributed to my bad attitude about it for the rest of time.

==...And the Absoluteness of Absolute Pitch==
I really don't have anything useful to add to this conversation, other than to say I understood it, and to agree with AbdiViklas, because moveable do makes way more sense in the sense of teaching singing within a key or when a particular key isn't important (I realize that's a strange concept to someone with perfect pitch (which I don't have, but I wish I did. I do have pretty good pitch memory, so if you ask me to sing an F, I can usually hit it or at least get within a half step, but I can't hear a note out of the blue and immediately say, Oh, that's an A-sharp)). I still, however, think both AbdiViklas and Heimstern Läufer are cool. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
:And the sentiment is mutual. I have this weird thing that I've heard referred to as "acquired pitch"; i.e. from playing the violin so long I've developed pitch-identification ability within its range, but my skillz have an abrupt cutoff at the bottom note of the violin. Also, certain instrumental "voiceprints" completely throw me for a loop. I can ID a pitch on piano, flute, oboe, saxophone—but I'm pretty inconsistent with clarinet. And, frustratingly, the human voice! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
::I hear about people being able to identify pitches only on certain instruments all the time. I've never had that experience; to me, a pitch is a pitch, whatever instrument it is. I've actually often wondered what it would be like not to be able to identify and produce pitches at will, and I admit that it baffles me as much as it must baffle the normal people to know that I can do so. Oh, and Dot com, you may not want to wish you had absolute pitch. It's a really neat party trick, but it can be really frustrating. If someone starts singing a song in a key other than the original, it really grates on me. Then there's period-instrument recordings: while I certainly respect their intentions, I really can't listen to them because they play everything too low. So, those are the disadvantages of absolute pitch. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 03:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Ah, now I don't have that problem. I can ''tell'' when something isn't aligned to a modern, Western, equal-temperament A-440 scale, but I don't suffer under it. After all, our selection of A-440 is so arbitrary (unless there's some kind of acoustic principle I don't know about, like the circumference of the earth divided by the distance to da mooon on the winter solstice equals A-440), and, although there are some mathematical arguments for our division of the octave, I prefer to engage the scale systems of other cultures on their own terms. Admittedly, it is a little hard for me to listen to a [[Wikipedia:Gamelan|Gamelan]] and remember that it's not just "out of tune," that they tuned it to those pitches just as carefully as I do, but if it's a 10-minute piece I get acclimated before long. The alternative is the colonial British attitude that dismissed the Carnatic system as a primitive "folk music" because their "poor intonation" was "indicative of a bad ear."
:::     And yeah, I played in Eastman's baroque ensemble for a couple of years (I didn't realize at first what a resource I had there, or who [http://www.esm.rochester.edu/faculty/?id=115 Paul O'Dette] was!), and it really throws you for a loop to play roughly an exact half step down. After the first 10 minutes of the rehearsal, though, I just get recalibrated into "Baroque mode." (But when listening to my prized [http://www.barockorchester.de/englisch/e_orchest.htm Freiburger] CDs, I still mentally identify what I'm hearing as a half step below what's written, and if I try to think about it it screws me up. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:08, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
::Arbitrary A=400 is indeed, yet it is completely ingrained into my ear. I guess it wouldn't make a difference if the Baroque ensemble were playing a piece I didn't know, since I wouldn't know its real key (although it sounds odd to me to hear a Baroque piece in Db major, since that was a rather uncommon key during that era.) The biggest problem is anything well-known: if it's ''The Messiah'' or a Brandenburg concerto the lower pitch is just going to sound wrong to me. Ahistorical and arbitrary, but still part of my congnition. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 03:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::Hi guys! I've been following this conversation for a while, and I figured I may have something to actually contribute: I have this vague recollection from my physics II class that the reason 440Hz is used is in part due to resonance qualities of the material. That is, that would be why we'd use 440Hz and not 439 or 441. (????) I'm trying to find out more about the subject, then again reading about [[Wikipedia:Pitch_%28music%29#Need_to_standardize_pitch|Pitch standardization]] suggests that I remembered it wrong, and that the resonance frequencies have to do with all the ''C'' frequencies being the same, and the pitch really IS arbitrary. (Apparently they tried to set A at 439 once but it being prime was really hard to reproduce). While reading i'm learning about such big phrases as [[Wikipedia:Fundamental_frequency|Fundamental_frequency]] and [[Wikipedia:Harmonic series (music)|Harmonic series]].

:::::::::Proposed, proposed. And as I read more I'm getting very confused; I'm not sure what connection [[Wikipedia:Lyndon LaRouche|a guy]] who tried to run for president from jail has to the Italian senate, or whether any bill with his name on it would really be taken seriously. On the one hand, it must seem remarkable to the general onlooker that these music nerds are ''at'' each other's ''throats'' over a half-step, but on the other hand the whole "Slatkin serves Satan" thing and the absurdity of all these shenanigans are vaguely pleasing to me. They renew my faith that the "classical" music scene has not simply ossified into an arena for the performance of 18th-century works with 19th-century sensibilities amid 20th-century conventions of a darkened, hushed audience composed mainly of nursing home excursions and tobacco heiresses trying to assuage their inherited guilt by donating to a cause that is both ostensibly societally uplifting and effectually exclusivist. Rather, it offers hope that the sheer ''messiness'' we see in music history—with major composers' mud-slinging, name-calling, old-school/new-school ([[Wikipedia:Ars nova|Ars nova]], [[Wikipedia:Claudio Monteverdi|seconda practica]]), East-coast/West-coast-style invective, rampant rumors that certain [[Wikipedia:Niccol%C3%B2_Paganini|virtuosi]] ''did'' in fact "serve satan," and audiences that simultaneously awarded their [[Wikipedia:Farinelli|favorite vocalists]] with lives of fame, free love, and [http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/collection/international/painting/a/plate_ipa00014.html gratuitous jewelry] that rival any modern-day blingster, and then gossiped obliviously through the operas to the point that even their pet stars, when their arias came, had to come out to the edge of the stage, grab the spotlight, and gesticulate broadly to wrest their attention—is not dead. (If you didn't follow that sentence, leave out everything between the dashes.) In a way, it's almost a performance art of sorts; LaRouche, his critics, the respective governments, and the colorful, vicious, vivacious rhetoric form one big, societal piece of entertaining pageant—"reality opera," if you will! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

==Hizzlary Hahn==

So I just got back from a Hilary Hahn concert. She stuck around afterwards to sign CDs; I cursed myself for not bringing mine, and for not bringing a camera. Can you imagine how a photo of me 'n' Hilary would look on my user page?! (If you're having trouble understanding the significant beautification that this would represent for my page, examine [http://www.hilaryhahn.com hilaryhahn.com].) You have to understand, she's like exactly my age; when I was 16 I bought her solo Bach CD simply because she was on the cover (and no, we're not talking about a [[Wikipedia:Lara St. John|Lara St. John]] cover; her eyebrow alone was enough to sell me), and have harbored a crush ever since. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:34, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

At least I'm glad to hear that not ''all'' the heartthrobs have to be no-talents like Britney Spears. Anyway, that's cool you got to see Hilary Hahn in concert; I hear she's great, although I haven't yet heard her myself. I probably don't listen to as much violin solo music as you do, since I'm a horn-player-turned-tenor. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 16:37, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Ah, but she does, that's the marvel of it. Her strong suit is an absolute, impeccable, superhuman purity and perfection of tone and intonation. You could have a competition in which all the major violin supastars play only one note each, and she'd win, for her bow control. Others may have a tone that sounds perfect from 10 feet away, but then you could put it under a microscope and you'd find the tiniest jitter or bump in their sound and none in Hilary's. >>''Edit'': Wait, I just found an Amazon page that puts it well: "Her tone has the directness and intensity of a laser beam and the unblemished purity of fine-spun crystal." (That page, btw, is her own [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/580596/ref=ed_mus_mysh_qp_hahn_1/102-4070132-3504108 music recommendations]; the story of her convergence with [[Wikipedia:...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead|And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead]] is quite amusing.)<< That Her weakness is that her artistic persona and interpretations are fairly reserved, poised, collected, and cool. Not like she's a cold fish, or lacks emotive expression; she can bring it; but she's not all-over-the-place, blood-'n'-guts melodrama like [http://www.nadjasalernosonnenberg.com/ Nadja], and sometimes I want that.

I'm immensely glad I chose it (due to its superiority over all the other brass instruments (I'll insert that qualifier there since this ''is'' AbdiViklas's page, and there's no need to be a bad guest here)), but the real reason I originally selected horn over trumpet is that this hot girl was also in the section.

::::Yes, Dot com, please do call me Heimstern. I find it overly formal and awkward when people address me by both first name and surname (if those terms really apply to a pseudonym like "Heimstern Läufer"). I always did love the horn, and I picked it because I liked the instrument, not for any ulterior motives. (I also thought I'd have advantages finding the right notes because of absolute pitch.) Then came college and the teacher from the abyss. We were ''not'' meant for each other at all. So, I'm now a tenor. Let me tell you, the world of vocalists is ''miles'' away from the world of instrumentalists. Half of them seem to seriously believe that singing the right rhythm is optional. I've actually been working on a Schubert song, "Auf dem Strom", which features a horn part in addition to voice and piano. It has to be one of the most beautiful and heartrending songs ever written. It alone proves your point that the horn is the greatest of brass instruments, since no trumpet or tuba could ever be so lyrical and full of ''Sehnsucht''.

#How do you pronounce your name? With friends with international names, I like to at least make an effort to pronounce them correctly. I know it's hard to explain in writing, without being able to speak, but at least could you explain the "-ce" ending: does the "e" have much of a sound? If so, is it more of an "ey," like "hey," or "e" like "wet"? And what does the "c" do—a "s" sound, a "k" sound, or a "ch" sound?
#I think we're all a little confused about your gender. You mentioned that your name translates to "Nick," but [[User:Sir Strong Bad|Sir Strong Bad]] adressed you as a lady. (Here "Nick" is usually a guy's nickname, short for Nicholas; the female equivalent is "Nicole." I've never known a girl named "Nick," though I think I have heard of one who went by "Nicky."

Hey Abdi! What's up? I wanted to brief you on TOC oddities since you asked about it [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Coach_Z&diff=202369&oldid=202367 here]. Basically, what Mediawiki does is that it hides TOCs for pages with less than 3 titles (i think it's 3 at least), however there are special commands such as <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> that make the TOC be placed in that precise location and have the TOC always be hidden, respectively. I think that toc can make a TOC appear in short pages, but I think <code><nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki></code> might be more of what you need.

::::Yep. And he also identifies himself as one Marshieman on the Fanstuff wiki, who apparently wore out his welcome there for general obnoxiousness in Aug and was blocked for a year. See [[User talk:Jibney#Hello, Marshieman.]]; apparently [[User:Thatkidsam|Thatkidsam]] has some bad blood for him (see also [[User talk:Jibney#Heh heh...]]). Obviously he has his past, but I'd prefer to hold out hope whenever possible. A mentor orchestra teacher I know has several stories of kids that she would have paid money to get out of her class, who she didn't believe had ''any'' musical talent... who went on to attend conservatories and ultimately become music teachers themselves. Besides, unless blocks are made binding unilaterally across the wikis, he should be judged simply by what he does here.
::::To the best I can tell, neither [[User:Timmy!|Timmy]] nor [[User:Jibney|Jibney]] has ever been blocked here. The user Jibney was created, actually, at [[User:Kerrek_slaya|Kerrek_slaya]]'s suggestion when Timmy couldn't remember his password and didn't have an email address (see [[User_talk:66.169.119.137]]). And to avoid confusion, I strongly doubt that ''our'' [[Special:Contributions/Marshieman|Marshieman]] has anything to do with him. His [[Special:Contributions/Marshieman|edits]] consisted of a spree of obscene, offensive page moves roughly 5 hrs before Jibney's first edits. Timmy/Jibney's style tends to be at worst nonsensical or puerile and involve heavy AOLspeak. Jibney was created 5 hrs too late to give him an alibi, but I really don't think it's him. If I'm right, it wouldn't be the first time someone has tried to make bad edits appear as his; the "Heh heh..." section of his talk page linked above seems to involve some such occurrence on fanstuff. Additionally, both here and on fanstuff, occasional runs of brazenly vandalistic and heavily misspelled edits have been made (e.g. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=bedtime_story&diff=prev&oldid=185999], [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=bedtime_story&diff=prev&oldid=186003], [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=bedtime_story&diff=prev&oldid=186005], and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=bedtime_story&diff=prev&oldid=186011]), which he has subsequently [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:66.169.119.137&diff=prev&oldid=186037 explained] as his little sister gaining access to his computer. Although Thatkidsam doubts his veracity rather sneeringly, compare the semiliterate raving of those edits to his explanation; although uncap.d, etc, it shows a different style. And the edit 2.5 hrs [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:boring_%28really%29&diff=prev&oldid=185897 before] the suspicious ones was even more prosaic. Bottom line: the guy makes things hard on himself through AOLspeak and impulsive editting that seems to make more sense to himself than to others, but I see in his saner edits the desire (or at least potential) to be a constructive member of the the wiki, and I'd prefer not to oppose that desire in anyone as long as it remains at the forefront. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:33, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Are you romanian Abdi? (Or of romanian descent?) My old roommate is Romanian. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
:Nope; no connection except that I went there two summers in a row with teams from my church. I tried to pick up a little language, but really had only an ornamental vocabulary (enough to say something in Romanian just so I'd be saying something in Romanian). I got myself into '''BIG''' trouble, evidently, when I tried to order a lemon Fanta (they have different flavors over there, many of which are awesome), and mispronounced the word for lemon. My hosts' eyes got ''really'' big and they turned bright red; when they regained the power of speech all they could manage was "Don't... ever... say that again...." Me: "Why, what? What did I say?" Them: "You... ''{pause}'' you don't want to know." To this day I don't know what word that sounded like!! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:38, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
::Lol! Well if you transliterate (is that a word) what you wrote perhaps I can ask my old roommate this weekend. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
:::The word was (and here I get a chance to use some of those characters above) "lămâjie"; that "a" with a circumflex, as I understood it, was supposed to be something like the "oo" of "wood" but closer to the "ou" of "would," a hint of the "oo" of "boot" creeping in. I way over-emphasized the latter, and then gave the final "e" too much of a Spanish "ey" sound—"luhmooyay." —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:50, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::Either cracking up or kind of embarrassed or both, depending on their personality.

::::::Not that this really relates to Romanian, although it does relate to language mix-ups and the current season: My favorite mistake in a German essay by an American student was "An Thanksgiving esse ich die Türkei", which means, "On Thanksgiving I eat Turkey" (i.e., the ''country'' of Turkey!)

==Marching Bands (not of Manhattan)==

I said "marching bands". Most schools near me have bands, but none I know have marching bands. I live in the same city as TBC. --[[User:Thatkidsam|Thatkidsam]] 23:20, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
:That's reassuring. And frankly, I'd rather they had a sit-down-an'-play-music band than a put-on-a-purple-thing-and-dance-around band. (Or better yet, how about Strings and Choral programs?) But seriously, I'd be very surprised if a city the size of Atlanta didn't have a fair number of HS marching bands. In fact, a cursory Googling reveals that [http://www.marching-band.net/news/ "The Official" Metro Atlanta Battle of the Bands] on Oct. 14, 2004 included bands from the following schools:

How have you been, me i've be doing great, can i ask you some questions:

1.whats your favourite toon?

2.whats your favourite character?

3.how did you find Homestar runner?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 08:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Two of those are tough. (One's easy; the answer to #3 is on [[User:AbdiViklas#Homestar Runner: A History of an Addiction|my user page]].) For favorite 'toon, I'll have to limit it to sbemails to make it easier. In that case, the three that I ''enjoy'' the most are [[funny]], [[caffeine]], and [[your friends]]. I can't decide exactly what the order should be. I feel a little guiltily lowbrow for enjoying so much the ones that are just straight-up, slapstick, audiovisual gags; I ''appreciate'' the ones that are "clever" too, but I can't help just laughing at loud at these.
:For favorite character: also tough. Of course I like 'em all, for the appropriate reasons. (Strong Bad because he's... Strong Bad; Strong Sad for his good taste in literature, music, art, and intellectual culture; Homestar for his heartwarming naïveté; etc.) If I have to pick a major character, I'll go with The Cheat; I just bought one of the The Cheat t-shirts while they were on sale, and it's the first t-shirt I've bought. But if we're including minor characters, I think What's Her Face is pretty cool, as I once [[Talk:What's Her Face|observed]] in a characteristically wordy post. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:25, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

== Louisiana residents ==

AbdiViklas: I noticed that you reverted my edit on [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/weird dream#Louisiana lingerie?|this page]], which was a removal of the phrase "it could even be a jab at the relative intelligence of Louisiana residents." Let me make the case for my removal, and then I'll let you do with that information as you see fit.

I'm not aware of a stereotype that Louisiana residents are unintelligent. I ''am'' aware of a false stereotype that people living in the South are "slow." I'm assuming this is what you're referring to. In this case, I have little confidence that TBC would propogate this bias--they are from Georgia, about as South as you can get. (I also have difficulty seeing the connection between askew undergarments and intelligence, although one could argue this point.)

So, I removed your comment because I saw no need to perpetuate an insulting stereotype, especially one which residents of Georgia would be unlikely to defend. I trust that you'll take these comments as what they're intended to be--an explanation of my position--and not a personal attack. Best, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:52, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks for your tact! I live in NC myself, so I certainly don't subscribe to the "dumb Southerner" concept (and am concerned about research showing employer bias against Southern accents!). I offerred the comment as illustration that the Easter egg could have meant something other Mardi Gras. In fact, my first thought when watching it, since I didn't make the Mardi Gras connection, was "Ha ha, that one couldn't even figure out how to put it on!" True, Louisiana isn't the butt of such jokes so much as Arkansas; it was jokes like the [http://www.joke-archives.com/youmaybe/arkansasreadingtest.html Arkansas reading test] that I was thinking of. (And I've heard that one ''from'' Southerners, in NC!) I'm not so sure TBC have qualms about perpetuating insulting stereotypes, either; I find it hard to watch Li'l Brudder in light of the physically impaired. (But yes, to their credit, they steer mostly clear of shock humor and using touchy subjects for cheap laughs.)
:As for removing the comment, I just reverted because I thought it was generally frowned upon to edit other people's comments in STUFF or talk pages. (I mean, I once deleted one when someone used a homosexual slur, but for anything less extreme I try to let it stand.) In light of your argument that acknowledging a harmful stereotype reinforces it, though, you can consider it ''my'' deletion!
:Thanks for responding in such a diplomatic and well-explained way! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
::Hey, thanks for the cheerful reply; I probably made a mountain out of a molehill anyway (it's only a STUFF page, after all). I'll keep your comments in mind before editing arguments in the future. Have a great week, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:31, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

:#I was [[Wikipedia:Homeschooling|homeschooled]] from 2nd grade through high school, so I certainly didn't have as many problems with bullying as most students, but even so I had some. Interestingly, one of the guys who used to tease me in really painful ways eventually (like within the same year) realized that he really was hurting me, apologized, and started being nicer. I think he wasn't really so much a true bully; he just thought he was being funny (while I didn't). These days, as a teacher, I'm more concerned with trying to prevent bullying for my students. It's really a serious problem; in the U.S. 75% report being bullied at some point, which means not only are they being denied a fundamental human right, but their education and development are being affected. I'm not sure how much I can do as a teacher to really change bullying, but I intend at least not to be unaware of it or (worse) ignore it.
:#Recently I've been doing a bunch of homework for finals in my university courses. Also I've been visiting a high school where I've been practicing conducting the orchestra in [[Wikipedia:Arcangelo Corelli|Corelli]]'s ''Christmas Concerto'', which has been a lot of fun.

Plus I was a real troublemaker, having problems "keeping my hands to myself" (less from agression than from a confusion about the fact that tripping others or swinging my lunchbox into them was not as funny for them as for me). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
::::Not that it's much to add, but my ex was homeschooled. I think kids can benefit more through homeschooling. If I have kids, I'd like them to be homeschool as much as possible too. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::Let me hasten to say that, as somebody about to be employed by it, I'm definitely not anti-public-education-system. The pros and cons of homeschooling versus public would have to do largely with what you felt the purpose of school was. If you adhered to a very traditional understanding of education in which "knowledge" meant a canon of factual information to be "uploaded" from written curricula and direct instruction into students' minds—in which "school" was primarily about the stuff it seems, on the surface, to be about (Reading 'n' Riting 'n' 'Rithmetic, etc.)—then yeah, that can be more efficiently accomplished through 1-on-1 instruction. But if you define "knowledge" as socially created, i.e. understanding is best achieved by experiencing something rather than hearing about it, and the transfer of experiential understandings through group work is not simply a side effect of schooling but an asset; if you think that what school is there to provide is not simply the official curriculum but the hidden curricula of social interaction and societal structures, and especially if you place a priority on exposing your child to other socioeconomic groups and cultures, then public school becomes desirable. (Although, contrary to popular opinion, homeschooling isn't typically insular; I had just as much contact with peers via co-opped classes and extracurricular clubs as most public schoolers. It would still be possible to achieve all the benefits above, though in my experience you might have to look outside the homeschooling community for meaningful interaction with other cultures.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey there abdiviklas, how have you been, i've been doing great. i just wanted to say, merry christmas and a happy and safe holiday. thank you for your kind messages, you've helped me quite a bit. We friends right?

Uh, Hi, you may not remember me but I was a long term member of the hrwiki and then got locked out with the changing of sites and re-registering and the no-annonymous-users-can-edit situation.
''{takes breath}'' anyhoo I'm back and I wanted to thank you for your support, I was going to give up on the hrwiki and never return until I got your message on my livejournal account a while back urging me to keep battling on. So Thanks! I'll show myself out -[[User:MJ|MJ]]

== thanks, abdi ==
thanks for reducing the exc. points on my guestbook. ciberdude also seems to have accidently added four 4's instead of three on his signature. that man does not know what he is doing. just like you did to me, i hope we can somehow teach him to be more familiar with the wiki. thanks to you, i'm joining the welcoming commitee.

::''{note: This edit and its reply were made after the entries below them}'' for the record i '''do''' know what i am doing. i used to be a nerd, fixing trolling, reverting stupid ideas, but then when i tried to add to the [[www.hrwiki.org|wiki]] i kept getting reverted on all the references and goofs. so i thought that the wiki must not like too streached references and i started deleting stuff but that went down hill when thise edit got reverted so i realized that all of you are exactally the kind of person [[Strong Bad|SB]] would hate. so i decided to troll and troll and troll and troll and troll [[User:Ciberdude444|Ciberdude444]] 21:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Wow. Um, I assume you changed your mind again. But yeah, the experience you mentioned (getting reverted at first) is so common I put some stuff into my [[User:AbdiViklas/welcome|welcome template]] about it. It's tough, because everybody makes an attachment, however little, between their edits and themselves; praise for their edits is praise for them and an abrupt and ignominious death for their edits is felt personally too. And yeah, you woudn't be the first who's responded to that injury by trolling. But as I'm sure you've experienced, all that reverting at the beginning is really just the result of the wiki learning curve; like people make edits that don't match the standards or that say something that was already said elsewhere. So anyway, I hope you're finding it a little less frustrating now being "the kind of person SB would hate." (Actually, seriously, I don't think he would; he's a pretty big grammar nerd himself. But yes, the kind of personality that makes the wiki work is closer to Adrian Monk's [[Wikipedia:Obsessive-compulsive disorder|OCD]] than Strong Bad's "whatever"-ness. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:''{responding to Seriously again}'' Don't mention it. And thanks for your response patching things up with Ciberdude (though I took the liberty of moving it from ''User talk:Ciberdude'' to [[User talk:Ciberdude444]]). There are some unfortunate examples on the wiki of users who are still pissed at each other and seriously make life rough; there are also ''daily'' examples of people who might have reason to be offended with each other shrugging it off and being generous about it. I encourage you to keep doing that—and not just making it so relationships with other users are "okay," but actually actively trying to improve them (i.e. calling them on it when they make a really good edit, or just making them feel good in whatever way you can). It's not just some Hallmark-Care-Bears conspiracy to make everybody feel all warm and fuzzy; it actually makes for a better website (and ultimately better people in real life!). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:09, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
::P.S. In other words, easy with comments like "doesn't know what he is doing." Yeah, literally, we're all learning more about how this wiki thing works every day (like just a minute ago I learned how to resize an image!). But be careful not to be insulting. (Also, I don't think there's any clue about Ciberdude's gender; assuming all online types are male can be dangerous!) Unrelatedly, cool that you're joining the welcoming committee! It's a great feeling when you get to welcome someone (though you have to have a fast trigger finger around here; the past few days I've seen, like, six new users get welcomed by other folks before I had a chance!). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

abdi, ciberdude444 has once again reverted my comment on the guestbook. i said it was okay, but i didn't think it would be like this. i don't want to edit something on his userpage, and i doubt he will listen to me. i will try anyway, but i need your help.
:Meh; it doesn't seem to me like it matters a ton either way. The question is who gets "custody"; whether you can't edit because it's his userpage or he can't edit because it's your comment. There's no official rule about it, but it seems like nobody should have to live with stuff on their userpage they don't want, or with their edits misrepresented. I think I'll revert it to your signature alone, which shouldn't be a problem for anybody. But seriously, in the grand scheme of things, I don't think it's a really big deal. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

:Cool. Also, with regard to the age thing, maybe the best thing you could do would be to take your real name off your page. Zillions of people could be your age, but you'd be ''amazed'' how easy it is to trace a person from their name. (In my city, at least, if you've ever voted, the info on how you're registered and your voting history, plus address, is right there on the web for free!)

== what do you like mostly about homestar runner? ==

Hey there abdiviklas, how have you been i've been doing great, the question i'm asking you is the title. see you around.

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 10:07, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:Man... actually, that's a really tough one to answer. Why ''do'' we—or I, at least—like H*R so much? I think it has a lot to do with the form it's in—relatively short cartoons updated roughly weekly for free, and all accessible at any time. I mean, let's face it; it has nowhere near the same number of laughs-per-week as, say, Simpsons or Futurama, but if H*R were on TV it would mean it would come in 30' chunks instead of 6' max, and (Tivo aside) you could only get to it at specific times, one 'toon at a time. The best time of my life was when I was watching the Strong Bad Emails for the first time, and was spending days at a time just watching them back-to-back chronologically; I think they're actually funnier that way.
:But I haven't ''really'' answered your question. What ''element'' of H*R do I like best? Well... I dunno. Do I like the randomness of its humor, or its relevence (via the "pop culture, mumble grumble" references)? Do I appreciate more its PG rating or the frequent ways it pushes that envelope (which, frankly, are funnier because they're so unexpected than the reliable shock-humor of Family Guy and related shows)? Do I enjoy Strong Bad's wittiness or Homestar's naivete (or Marzipan's activism or Strong Sad's misunderstood artistic sensibilities)? Can't say. I guess it's '''D''', all of the above!! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

i kinda agree with you, the reason i like homestar runner the best on the internet, for its humour, the way it uses pop culture like simpsons a bit, and the characters. but the reason why i like it is:'

because it acts like a cartoon. i'll explain:

you see most of the things you find on the internet are either horrible violent with lots of swearing or lots of adult content. but homestar runner is nothing like it. Do you understand?

== Hey, that kind of proves my point. ==

''"sorry, rv; "hypocrisy" seems to me to have inaccurate connotations. He doesn't *give* a darn, really, whether "jillion" is a real word."''

The fact that he doesn't give a darn is kind of the point. He holds everyone else up to quite lofty standards of perfect spelling and grammar but doesn't do the same. That is the definition of hypocrisy and being a hypocrit. "Do as I say and not as I do." -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I see what you mean. But see my [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Strong_Bad&curid=818&diff=230061&oldid=230056&rcid=174751 reply just now] on [[Talk:Strong Bad]], disagreeing somewhat with that definition of hypocrisy. The definition you offer is certainly a common one, but I feel it's a misuse of the word. "Inconsistency" might be better. I also reverted partly because I just felt like, by itself, it wasn't that remarkable; now, if a page gets made, that would be a reason to have a remark saying something like "this is another instance of '''Strong Bad's Usage Errors'''" or the like. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I ''just'' added that rule (and it was because I saw the stripèd discussion, though I'd been considering it for a while), but it actually works in your favor if you count the fact that (a sentence prior) Strong Bad actually ''did'' write "striped" while pronouncing it "stripèd".

::Well, that was actually a bad example (as "Appe'teasers'" is written in the 'toon in question in an Easter Egg, [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].) But, if we were to assume that nothing was written, then you'd still want to write "Appe-teasers" because that's what was said. There are better examples out there, though... most of what Coach Z says, for instance. That was just the first thing to cross my mind. This has been the unofficial consensus for a while, actually; I was just trying to make it official. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Cool. We've got a lot of back-revising to do on it, then. But maybe before we do, at least with regard to the aspiration-of-"-ed"-suffixes issue, see my hesitance I just added to [[Talk:highschool#Accent on striped]].

:::::LOL; on the wiki I seem to be permanently in schoolteacher mode, in which first-time vandals are suspendees and potential dropouts. (The alarming thing that just kind of clicked for me recently is that these users ''are'' in fact real people, and their interaction with this wiki is a window of opportunity to teach them about how to interract with others. (Yes yes, and about H*R!) That's why, although the squabbles and typos of middle-school users take up time and energy, I'm glad we have them. The whole Seriously/Totebag/Ciberdude deal is a chance for three guys either to learn that nothing's fair, no one in authority cares, and name-calling and petty revenge get results, or to learn that co-operation and community are more than smarmy buzzwords and are actually realisable and effective. Then, realizing that two of those go to the same school: what could be the exponential impact of two kids who actually believed that?) So even though chances are good he'll never come back, and even though it was kind of silly of me to do so, that's why I left that for him; I daydream that maybe he's at a formative moment in his life and the wiki could tip the balance between a life of crime and a career as a school counselor or a Doctor Without Borders or some such. It sounds cheesy, but... maybe it's not too great an exaggeration! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Why did you add the definition for decoupage to "Death Metal"'s "Explanation" section? I realize it starts with "de" and has something to do with glue. Those do not seem like enough to bother including the word in the email's wiki page.

Yeah, if it weren't for that, it would be a seriously unnecessary fact!

:The combination of the fact that you commented on [[User:Seriously|Seriously]]'s talk page and mentioned that someone you knew got blocked suggested that you might know either him or a couple of other users that he had some interaction with. Plus you now say on your user page that he's your brother. If I'm not mistaken, your brother's blockedness is up today or tomorrow; a couple of edits you made to his user page got reverted because we don't really let people (even siblings) edit each others' pages, but he can do them himself then. If he doesn't, bug him to; we have quite a few users who started out getting temporarily blocked and ended up as major contributors (I seem to remember there's some sysop with that story, though I can't find who it is at the moment).

Glad you're back, Will; I meant what I said above (and mean it for Ciberdude as well). In answer to your question, I realized that the section heading your brother used originally was the exact same you had used higher on the page, and it confused the browser when it tried to jump to the section. I'm not sure what exactly I'm referencing with the "Son of", other than the stereotypical 30s-monster-movie sequels that get referenced all the time (''Son of Dracula! · Bride of Frankenstein! · Second Cousin Once Removed of Wolfman!''). At least I didn't say ''Electric Boogaloo''. And as for archiving, Stux, despite the recent caving of a prominent holdout, I'm being obstinate.

==We Are The Wiki==
''This is an expansion of an idea from [[HRWiki talk:Guestbooks#Guestbook replacement activities]].'' 
     The recent [[HRWiki:Guestbooks|Guestbooks]] phenomenon brought into discussion a tension that has been around for a while. Specifically, many who supported guestbooks felt that HRWiki is, or should be, a place for H*R fans to interact. Others pointed out that it is a "knowledge base," and that its activity should be limited to the upkeep of its content, and pure socializing done in other venues such as the forum. "I'm ... hesitant" about my own position on this issue, and the wording I used in the "Guestbook replacement" suggestions reflects a hope that the wiki's fun (maybe even frivolous?) functions and its documentary function are not mutually exclusive. 
     The fact is, though, some of my suggestions (based on current user practices) toy with a fine and elusive line in [[HRWiki:User space]]. My suggestions included saying hi to other users on their talk pages and featuring content on your user page that provokes responses on your talk page. Now a few quotes from [[HRWiki:User space]] include (emphasis added):
*''Your user talk page is for other users to discuss matters ''related to the Wiki'' with you.
*''Generally, you should avoid any ''substantial content that is unrelated to the Homestar Runner Wiki''. Examples include ... ''discussion not related to the Homestar Runner Wiki'' ... excessive personal information ... opinion pieces not related to the Homestar Runner Wiki or other non-encyclopedic material...''
     By a strict reading, this could be taken to mean that ''any'' discussion on a Talk page or a User talk page that is not ''directly'' related to a matter of editing is in noncompliance. I'm not going to take the trouble or embarrassment of linking to examples, but I suspect every user here has at some time been party to a discussion that had nothing immediately to do with H*R or the wiki. However, there are several (intentionally) vaguely-defined phrases in there: Just how much is "substantial content"? How much personal information is "excessive"? How much opinion constitutes a "piece"? But the Great Loophole is this line:
*''Particularly, community-building activities that are not strictly "on topic," may be allowed, especially when initiated by committed users with good edit histories. At their best, such activities help us to build the community, and this helps to build the knowledge-base.''
     This, dear friends, is the text of my sermon today. This line expresses—guardedly and with many qualifications—a recognition that certain "not strictly 'on-topic'" behaviors may in fact be not simply permissible but indirectly beneficial. It does not go on to specify what these behaviors "at their worst" might do, but recent events certainly helped us imagine. So it is with great care, my brothers, yea with gravity and trepidation, that we invoke this clause. It is not intended to justify chaos, or to effortlessly nullify the injunctions above it. Yet invoke it I must, and I do so with sobriety and deference. 
     'Nuff preacher-talk. So: what is this clause? Is it a contradiction? Is it a weak concession to the fact that we all chat a little here and there, and it doesn't seem to be killing us? What about that last sentence: "At their best, such activities help us build the community, and this helps us to build the knowledge-base." Do you really believe that, or is it just a pleasant fiction softened by euphemism? What ''is'' this "community" of which we speak so often? 
     (Now, a disclaimer: I don't know a lot about "Wiki" philosophy overall; I've never been involved with Wikipedia and know little of its ideological history. When I say "wiki" I'm speaking specifically of HRWiki, and what I've observed here.) But I'll tell you what I've seen: I've seen people on the Eastern seaboard, the Pacific coast, Texas, Canada, Israel, Australia-by-way-of-Macedonia, and everywhere in between talking, collaborating, and knowing each other's "names" and personalities, not just demographics. I've seen users genuinely broken up over the "departure" of people they've never seen or shaken hands with—which would be odd behavior for a group of cyber-librarians who just happen to be simultaneously working on a database. I've seen users respond to vandal attacks, some of them massive, not with a language of personal injury ("Oh no, what'll ''I'' do?" "Look at all this I've got to revert!"), but calling each other by name and encouraging each other. I've seen users take great pride in their personal contributions, presumably experiencing the joy of accomplishment and becoming incrementally better defended against the paralysis of percieved incompetence. I've seen users engage in heated—often turbulent—disagreement, and learn, albeit by trial and error, how to do so in a civil, productive, and charitable way. 
     Let's step back for a sec. What are you doing? You're sitting on your butt looking at a computer—which is displaying an "opinion piece" about a wiki—which attempts to chronicle and analyze every minutest detail of an internet cartoon—which itself consists of some eccentric and anatomically deficient characters saying a few minutes of funny things on roughly a weekly basis. Is this feeding children in Africa? Is it curing cancer? Is it impacting the policies and actions of national or local governments? Well—hold that thought. My point is: '''what is the ultimate purpose of this wiki?''' Yes, recent discussions have precipitated a restatement that its primary purpose, it's ''raison d'etre'', is to be a knowledge base, documenting H*R cartoons. But its primary purpose does not disallow secondary purposes, and I see its potential for teaching "community" to be a compelling one. If, through this wiki, even one person learns how to work collaboratively with others, to encourage each other's efforts, and above all how do disagree with someone and debate that opinion in an open, respectful, and supportive way, ''and'' if these lessons transfer over into real life, then something much greater has happened than simply transcribing a web cartoon. And it ''could'' very well impact the society and governance of neighborhoods and nations. 
     This brings me to the title of this section. '''We are the wiki.''' The wiki is binary data on a server, yes, but without us it would be static. Furthermore, because [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Sick_Day&diff=157523&oldid=157522 the wiki is a liquid], it assumes the contour of its container, the users. If we were replaced with a different set of users, the wiki would become fundamentally different. A gardening model is not adequate for the wiki—we are not groundskeepers, who come in and work on "the wiki"; we ''are'' an integral and vital part of it. If there is an analogy, maybe we're like a good sports play—ahem, sports ''team'': the members of a baseball team all work together on something (the game), but if they all got up and left "the game" wouldn't remain (just a stadium full of very surprised fans). You see what this means? Nearly every user here expresses some desire to "help the wiki," "maintain the wiki," or otherwise contribute to its upkeep and improvement. The most immediate way to do that, certainly, is to edit mainspace articles. But tending to relationships with other users—cultivating them, pruning them, mediating them, and healing them—is every bit as much a way of improving the wiki. 
     On the flipside, that's what's so terrible about [[HRWiki talk:Glossary#Miss Nomer 2005|true trolls]] (as opposed to vandals): Just as vandals attack the digital, visible fabric of the wiki, trolls attack the relational, social fabric of it. A vandal simply aspires to scrawl a few lines of graffiti; a troll aspires to tear ''us'' apart. Which is more insidiously devestating? A vandal can be reverted and blocked in seconds. The damage of trolling, if accomplished, is far harder to repair. So if you consider yourself a "troll fighter," take a deep breath and a look in the mirror before replying hastily to another user: when you damage a relationship, ''you'' are the troll. And keep in mind that, unlike the many defensive tools we have against vandalism, our ''only'' defense against this vulnerability is the intentional, calculating, untiring maintenance of our "community" ties—in other words, working specifically on "being friends." 
     This is where the last phrase of that Loophole gets its justification. "Building the community" does ''indeed'' "help to build the knowledge base." It defends and perpetuates it, and gives it a greater excuse for existing than the Flash-based antics of an Internet phenomenon. And for that reason there ''is'' an excuse for User talk content to go beyond "What's up with this edit?" and "Please delete a personal pic." ''As long as'' the activity is kept within reasonable bounds, and does ''not'' in fact impede the wiki's primary functioning—and ''if'' it is ''meaningfully effective'' at building relatinships—then it is not simply irrelevent frivolity; it is in fact... the Work of the Wiki.

Yeah, could I follow the rules by making it on my [[User:Seriously/old captions|Archive]]? Also, I strongly disagree with this rule when it's only a bit of fun. There is no con to people editing my userpage; unless it's the ever-hated guestbook signing or vandalizing (obviously.) I would like you to consider letting me keep it as it presents no immediate harm. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

:By the way, why havn't you been on? I miss seeing comments with 100 lines just to fit your ideas. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
::LOL; because the 100 lines have been going into school-related activities. I was far more active in December and January since I had less work. Expect higher involvement in March, declining in April, and nearly non in mid-May, with a sudden spike around the last week. And a 60% chance of rain.
::Now then, about the captions: I guess it's not a hard-'n'-fast ''rule'' per se at the moment, and it's certainly not a matter of ''making'' you move it. What we ''do'' have in the way of suggestions on the topic: It's dot com says in [[HRWiki talk:Guestbooks#Guestbook replacement activities|HRWiki talk:Guestbooks]], "Please note that you should not encourage people to edit your user page, for any reason." [[HRWiki:User space#What can I have on my user page?|HRWiki:User space]] says "In general, avoid editing another's user page without their permission, but feel free to correct any linking errors that might confuse readers. However, some users are fine with their user pages being edited, and may even have a note to that effect." This clearly means that non-owner edits aren't ''completely'' forbidden. It also hints at a possibility that the owner could encourage the edits of others, though from context and when it was written, I imagine it means an invitation to feel free to correct mistakes or improve content (for instance, [[User:FireLily]], [[User:Ppk01#Japanese_Character_Names]], or [[User:Thechamp#Links_and_stuff]]). That would probably result in much less frequent non-owner editing than a recurring feature. So yeah, I'm certainly not "making" you move it, but I still suggest it. Kinda using your argument against you, what would it hurt? Well... I suppose even if you kept the image and an "edit!" link on your user pages, the captions wouldn't be with it. I was thinking there might be some way, via [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|Transclusion]], to keep the content elsewhere, have users edit elsewhere, but have it show up on your user page. I did a test in the sandbox that seemed like that didn't work, but I haven't given up on it yet. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 07:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Update: I wasn't able to get transclusion to work in my brief test. I tried putting <nowiki>{{User:AbdiViklas/welcome}}</nowiki> here, as my only subpage, and as expected it appeared. Then I went and edited the original welcome subpage and saved, but the edit didn't appear here on refresh. I'll have to submit this to those who know more about how this place works. '''Attention: 'elp!''' Is live transclusion (including updates being reflected) only for the Template namespace?

But I still intend to show up ''at least'' once a week or so, and like all things, this crunch shall pass. So, until I poke my nose in again, Chins up! Tifle down!

== hey there AbdiViklas (2) ==

How are you, anything happen to you recently?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 11:42, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

:I'll say! In just the past week I: 1) Got a new dual-chip [http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/entnb_e1705?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn laptop computer] (with a coupon, got one worth $2,800 for $2,000), 2) got into a wreck—don't worry, I wasn't hurt at all and neither was anybody else—but my car was totalled and now I have to find a new one, and 3) was made a sysop! (And 4, made some Jambalaya. But it was already a day after Mardi Gras, so as a tribute to New Orleans it was a little late.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

::Sorry about your car. Although it's still pretty awesome you were maqde a sysop, so that helps a lot. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== You no old, man! ==

Since when is being over twenty-five old? An emcee that age would be considered very young. You're not old until you start ''acting'' old in my opinion. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:Well, ''I'' feel old. I think it's when you ''feel'' old that it counts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Well, considering that I routinely act about 16, I guess you've got a point, Darth. (That can be a little problematic when trying to ''teach'' 16-year-olds; I keep getting into discussions about Inuyasha...) But it does mean something when your closest friends stop saying things like "So where are we going tonight?" and start saying things like "So good to hear from you! Remind me of your phone number; I seem to have lost it." —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

:::You sound like my mom. She's a teacher, too. Only, my mom likes ''Halo'' more than ''Inuyasha''. She, like, walks right past the bad guys and they don't even notice. She's also smart like you, too. My mom actually liked screamo metal rock before I did, and I started liking it because she listened to it all the time. And Dorian, I feel old all the time, but not right now because I'm on a sugar high...and I feel so alive...for the very first time...and if I have any more cookies I'll probably get so hyper I'll fly, fly (only P.O.D. nerds will get that). {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

== totally kill all imposters! ==

Hmmmmm... I have no idea how that happenned. Thanks for the heads-up. [[User:Ed smildE|Ed smilde]]/[[User talk:Ed smildE|talk]]

== Happy easter ==

Hello abdiviklas how are, how's easter (If you celebrate it?)?

What have you been up to?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 01:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
:Hi! My Easter was great; I spent most of the morning playing my violin in church (which isn't exactly like most churches' Easter service; our worship leader is a former R&B guitarist from Alabama, so my playing style in church is less classical and more a mix of Dave-Mathews-type rock and old-timey Appalachian-type sounds). I spent most of the rest of the day working on my taxes (which are due today) and making [http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/meat-poultry/greekmeatballs-cb.html "Greek" meatballs] (except I mixed ground lamb with the beef) with [http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/indian/00/rec0055.html cucumber raita]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
::Glad to hear it. Let's hope the rest of the year is as kind. (And maybe with a little bit less tax mess. =p) - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

== Hey, just to let you know... ==

Wiki grrl is my best friend. Pardon her grammer; she'll correct it. I told her about homestar a long time ago and now she finally created an account here. The "bug swallow" thing on her userpage is because one of her favorite quotes from here is the whole routine Homestar goes through when he swallows a bug in Bug In Mouth Disease. Just thought you might want to know. And don't ask about PEP. I can't tell you. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 21:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
:Cool. I love it when people who know each other in "real life" are on the wiki. And I'm glad she finds [[Bug In Mouth Disease]] funny; I have a hard time doing so. I try, I really try, on a regular basis, but each time I come to the end of the toon feeling a little dissapointed. Funny how one person's favorite can be another's least favorite and vice versa! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:23, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

==Typo==
Holy cow. Thank you a hecka ton for catching that spelling mistake. I ment to say "Marzipan was originally intended to be Homestar's '''''girl'''''friend." Thanx for catching that. Now, should I post the revised fact somewhere on the page? {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 20:42, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
:My gut says no. The same thing is already said more fully at [[Marzipan]], but there it's speaking of character depth (i.e. just there as a "Homestar accessory"). Putting it in an article about their relationship and wording it as "originally intended to be" makes it sound like she isn't anymore. And I've known people with ''way'' more off-and-on relationships than Homestar and Marzipan who would still refer to each other as "girlfriend" or "boyfriend." —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

== Greetings and explanations ==

First off, thanks for streamlining the not-for-profit thing on the [[space program]] article. Your edit was what I thought of doing in the first place, but I thought it might be a bit presumptuous. After seeing someone else do it, I realize I was worrying about nothing.

Second, in response to the comment you affixed to a recent edit of [[band names]], Aerosmith is a misspelling of "arrowsmith", old term for someone who specialized in making arrows. When MTV did a 10th anniversary special, Mel Gibson did a segment introducing the band Aerosmith, and the segment started off with him making an arrow the old-fashioned way, with a big hammer and stuff, and as he was admiring his handiwork, he acted as if someone off-camera was talking to him and said "what? oh, the ''band'' Aerosmith? oh..." I hadn't actually heard the word before that, and I researched it and discovered that that's actually where the band got their name. It's a fairly obscure term these days, so it's not really a surprise that many people don't know the word (and the wing motif on their album covers coinciding with the "aero" prefix just confuses things even more). - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 10:27, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:Well, you learn something new every day! Especially my first thought for "someone who makes arrows" is "[http://www.tfd.com/Fletcher fletcher]". It was a little hard to track down, but [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Arrowsmith arrowsmith] does appear to be legit, though. (Nonetheless it's still a good candidate for the "two will do" principle; otherwise why not add Boyz II Men, Korn, Weezer, the Beetles, or the zillions of "ska"-derived names?) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 15:08, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
== Yeah, Music Ed. Majors! ==
Hey! Thanks for the post on my talk page, I think it's always awesome to meet other musicians. The world doesn't have enough of us these days - at least, not enough good ones. Hillary Duff and Brittany Spears don't come close to counting! What's really awesome is that you studied at one of my top choices for Graduate school. (I'm getting my Masters and Doctorate Degrees in Performance, and Eastman has quite a track record in the trumpet world!) I'm also looking at Northwestern, CCM, Juliard, and DePaul, in no particular order. It's also nice to know that there are other Music people who waste as much time on this as I do, and likely more... {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 03:58, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

''{Strong Bad says "dot dot dot" for "...", "Her wiki" for "HRWiki", and "Deh Ksnulbs" for "!DEHCKSNUOLBS."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do ''I'' know anything about ''SBLOUNSKCHED!?'' Gimme a break here, Deh Ksnulbs! Me and SBLOUNSKCHED!... we're the best of buddies, brothers even! In fact, I could probably tell you more about SBLOUNSKCHED! than he could tell you about himself. ''{Pause}'' So I will.

''{Scene changes to The Field. SBLOUNSKCHED! appears through the alternate universe portal and looks around, surprised.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All right, so this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What? When did you get here?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well... um... ok. I was just tellin Deh Ksnulbs here all about SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, he's not replacing you, The Cheat. It's— it's an email.

'''THE CHEAT''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{forgiving The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, right. So, anyway, this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

''{A SBLOUNSKCHED! bar appears onscreen.}''

'''CHORUS:''' ''{voiceover}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But that's not what we're talking about here. ''{The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar disappears.}'' ''This'' is SBLOUNSKCHED! He's... umm... he's on that website... th— the dumpface wiki. Um...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, shut up! I do too know all about SBLOUNSKCHED!!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, in order to better give you the skoop on SBLOUNSKCHED!, we decided to bring him in for an interview.

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad's chair.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wght— ''{waving his arms in the air}'' I said shut up!

''{cut to Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum. Music starts and a newspaper background appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Can we try to be at least a ''little'' creative here?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Oh... um... Strong Bad jumps into a fine kettle of journalism fish with...

''{a black cauldron drops from the top of the screen. sBLOUNSKCHED! pops out of it, covered with fish.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBLOUNSK-kch-chk-k-k... erm... That's actually a cauldron.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, is that some sort of... witches' brew?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Agh, no! It's a kettle of fish! Let's... let's just get this over with.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. He's sitting on the couch next to SBLOUNSKCHED!.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't usually use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}'' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hup, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

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

==Signature==

Hey there Sblounskched. I've noticed your signature is quite a bit longer than most wiki signatures. Below is your current sig, with the blue box being the maximum length allowed by our current [[HRWiki:Signature|signature standards]]. It seems that having "This page has been" in your signature pushes it significantly over the maximum. I'm sure you can come up with a way to shrink it back to a reasonable size. Thanks alot, {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}}

Fixed. 
{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}}

Thanks. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

There, even better now. Wait... now.{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 22:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Just a tip for future reference for when you're messing with your user page: when you're editing, there is a "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button - if you use that, you can see what you've changed without saving the page, which is easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and it doesn't fill up [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] with your edits. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I know. I just kept thinking of other things that I wanted to add or change after I hit save. Sorry 'bout that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over Trumpet fanfares}'' Email! Email!! EEEEEEMAAAAAIIIIL!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: SBLOUNSCHKED!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering... do you know anything 
about the user, "SBLOUNSKCHED!" on the HRWiki? 
Your pal, 
!DEHCKSNUOLBS
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "dot dot dot" for "...", "Her wiki" for "HRWiki", and "Deh Ksnulbs" for "!DEHCKSNUOLBS."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do ''I'' know anything about ''SBLOUNSKCHED!?'' Gimme a break here, Deh Ksnulbs! Me and SBLOUNSKCHED!... we're the best of buddies, brothers even! In fact, I could probably tell you more about SBLOUNSKCHED! than he could tell you about himself. ''{Pause}'' So I will.

''{Scene changes to The Field. SBLOUNSKCHED! appears through the alternate universe portal and looks around, surprised.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All right, so this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What? When did you get here?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well... um... ok. I was just tellin Deh Ksnulbs here all about SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, he's not replacing you, The Cheat. It's— it's an email.

'''THE CHEAT''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{forgiving The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, right. So, anyway, this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

''{A SBLOUNSKCHED! bar appears onscreen.}''

'''CHORUS:'' ''{voiceover}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But that's not what we're talking about here. ''{The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar disappears.}'' ''This'' is SBLOUNSKCHED! He's... umm... he's on that website... th— the dumpface wiki. Um...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, shut up! I do too know all about SBLOUNSKCHED!!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, in order to better give you the skoop on SBLOUNSKCHED!, we decided to bring him in for an interview.

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad's chair.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wght— ''{waving his arms in the air}'' I said shut up!

''{cut to Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum. Music starts and a newspaper background appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Can we try to be at least a ''little'' creative here?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Oh... um... Strong Bad jumps into a fine kettle of journalism fish with...

''{a black cauldron drops from the top of the screen. sBLOUNSKCHED! pops out of it, covered with fish.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBLOUNSK-kch-chk-k-k... erm... That's actually a cauldron.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, is that some sort of... witches' brew?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Agh, no! It's a kettle of fish! Let's... let's just get this over with.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. He's sitting on the couch next to SBLOUNSKCHED!.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't usually use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

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

==Easter Eggs==

*At the end of the email, click on "!Deh Ksnulbs" to see the SBLOUNSKCHED! bar reappear on screen.
::''{"!Deh Ksnulbs" appears at the bottom of the screen.}''
::'''CHORUS:''' DEH KSNULBS!

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "How to Play the Trumpet".

''{Strong Bad says "dot dot dot" for "...", "Her wiki" for "HRWiki", and "Deh Ksnulbs" for "!DEHCKSNUOLBS."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do ''I'' know anything about ''SBLOUNSKCHED!?'' Gimme a break here, Deh Ksnulbs! Me and SBLOUNSKCHED!... we're the best of buddies, brothers even! In fact, I could probably tell you more about SBLOUNSKCHED! than he could tell you about himself. ''{Pause}'' So I will.

''{Scene changes to The Field. SBLOUNSKCHED! appears through the alternate universe portal and looks around, surprised.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All right, so this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What? When did you get here?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well... um... ok. I was just tellin Deh Ksnulbs here all about SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, he's not replacing you, The Cheat. It's— it's an email.

'''THE CHEAT''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{forgiving The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, right. So, anyway, this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

''{A SBLOUNSKCHED! bar appears onscreen.}''

'''CHORUS:'' ''{voiceover}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But that's not what we're talking about here. ''{The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar disappears.}'' ''This'' is SBLOUNSKCHED! He's... umm... he's on that website... th— the dumpface wiki. Um...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, shut up! I do too know all about SBLOUNSKCHED!!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, in order to better give you the skoop on SBLOUNSKCHED!, we decided to bring him in for an interview.

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad's chair.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wght— ''{waving his arms in the air}'' I said shut up!

''{cut to Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum. Music starts and a newspaper background appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Can we try to be at least a ''little'' creative here?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Oh... um... Strong Bad jumps into a fine kettle of journalism fish with...

''{a black cauldron drops from the top of the screen. sBLOUNSKCHED! pops out of it, covered with fish.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBLOUNSK-kch-chk-k-k... erm... That's actually a cauldron.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, is that some sort of... witches' brew?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Agh, no! It's a kettle of fish! Let's... let's just get this over with.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. He's sitting on the couch next to SBLOUNSKCHED!.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: SBLOUNSCHKED!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering... do you know anything 
about the user, "SBLOUNSKCHED!" on the HRWiki? 
Your pal,

''{Strong Bad says "dot dot dot" for "...", "Her wiki" for "HRWiki", and "Deh Ksnulbs" for "!DEHCKSNUOLBS."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do ''I'' know anything about ''SBLOUNSKCHED!?'' Gimme a break here, Deh Ksnulbs! Me and SBLOUNSKCHED!... we're the best of buddies, brothers even! In fact, I could probably tell you more about SBLOUNSKCHED! than he could tell you about himself. ''{Pause}'' So I will.

''{Scene changes to The Field. SBLOUNSKCHED! appears through the alternate universe portal and looks around, surprised.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All right, so this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What? When did you get here?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well... um... ok. I was just tellin Deh Ksnulbs here all about SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, he's not replacing you, The Cheat. It's— it's an email.

'''THE CHEAT''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{forgiving The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, right. So, anyway, this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

''{A SBLOUNSKCHED! bar appears onscreen.}''

'''CHORUS:'' ''{voiceover}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But that's not what we're talking about here. ''{The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar disappears.}'' ''This'' is SBLOUNSKCHED! He's... umm... he's on that website... th— the dumpface wiki. Um...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, shut up! I do too know all about SBLOUNSKCHED!!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, in order to better give you the skoop on SBLOUNSKCHED!, we decided to bring him in for an interview.

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad's chair.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wght— ''{waving his arms in the air}'' I said shut up!

''{cut to Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum. Music starts and a newspaper background appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Can we try to be at least a ''little'' creative here?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Oh... um... Strong Bad jumps into a fine kettle of journalism fish with...

''{a black cauldron drops from the top of the screen. sBLOUNSKCHED! pops out of it, covered with fish.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBLOUNSK-kch-chk-k-k... erm... That's actually a cauldron.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, is that some sort of... witches' brew?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Agh, no! It's a kettle of fish! Let's... let's just get this over with.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. He's sitting on the couch next to SBLOUNSKCHED!.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't use trumpets.

''{Strong Bad says "dot dot dot" for "...", "Her wiki" for "HRWiki", and "Deh Ksnulbs" for "!DEHCKSNUOLBS."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do ''I'' know anything about ''SBLOUNSKCHED!?'' Gimme a break here, Deh Ksnulbs! Me and SBLOUNSKCHED!... we're the best of buddies, brothers even! In fact, I could probably tell you more about SBLOUNSKCHED! than he could tell you about himself. ''{Pause}'' So I will.

''{Scene changes to The Field. SBLOUNSKCHED! appears through the alternate universe portal and looks around, surprised.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All right, so this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What? When did you get here?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well... um... ok. I was just tellin Deh Ksnulbs here all about SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, he's not replacing you, The Cheat. It's— it's an email.

'''THE CHEAT''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{forgiving The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, right. So, anyway, this is SBLOUNSKCHED!.

''{A SBLOUNSKCHED! bar appears onscreen.}''

'''CHORUS:'' ''{voiceover}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But that's not what we're talking about here. ''{The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar disappears.}'' ''This'' is SBLOUNSKCHED! He's... umm... he's on that website... th— the dumpface wiki. Um...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, shut up! I do too know all about SBLOUNSKCHED!!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, in order to better give you the skoop on SBLOUNSKCHED!, we decided to bring him in for an interview.

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad's chair.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wght— ''{waving his arms in the air}'' I said shut up!

''{cut to Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum. Music starts and a newspaper background appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Can we try to be at least a ''little'' creative here?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Oh... um... Strong Bad jumps into a fine kettle of journalism fish with...

''{a black cauldron drops from the top of the screen. sBLOUNSKCHED! pops out of it, covered with fish.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBLOUNSK-kch-chk-k-k... erm... That's actually a cauldron.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, is that some sort of... witches' brew?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Agh, no! It's a kettle of fish! Let's... let's just get this over with.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. He's sitting on the couch next to SBLOUNSKCHED!.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to the show, SBLOUNSKCHED!

''{cut to close-up of SBLOUNSKCHED! The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}}''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' What's up, Strong Bad? Let me say, I'm a huge fan of your work. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's great, man. So... Deh Ksnulbs wants to know all about you, so... well, whatre ya' all about?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Well, Strong Bad, I'm a man of many flavors, like, I dunno, some kinda ice cream... popsicle... thing. I'm all up on all the good stuff, like... trumpet playing, and music writing... That's what I'm doing for a career - some day, anyway. I, um... I like Japanese a whole lot. And anime, like Bleach. I dunno. That sort of thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you're a musician, eh SBLOUNSKCHED!? You're not in that band "Limozeen," are you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Uh, Strong Bad... They're... metal. Metal doesn't use trumpets.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. Uh, let's see here... ''{flips through some index cards}'' So SBLOUNSKCHED!, it says here that you have a hobby of programming and graphic design. Is this true?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Oh, definitely. I like to code little things every now and then, like the Homestar Runner Toolbar. It's out right now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's pretty great. I also do some signature and avatar design for the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum. They call me Bulldozer there, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, your toolbar really is something. ''{looks back at the index cards}'' So, this Dumpface Wiki thing you were talking about... what is it, exactly?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' ''{laughing}'' The Homestar Runner Wiki is this great online community of people who know everything there is to know about you and your friends. I'm in there, and I like to help out from time to time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, so you're stalking us, eh, SBLOUNSKCHED!? Well, I'm not going to stand for it! ''{stands up}'' You—

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Yes you are. Sit down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{sits down}'' Wait... why did I just listen to you?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Because I'm awesome. And there's the whole "bound-by-law" thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right. ''{reads through the index cards again.}'' So, um... so you march with some Drum and Bugle Corps ''{pronounced "corpse"}' thing, right?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED:''' Yes. I march with Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. This is my third year. It's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, it says here that there's nothing more for me to ask you. Is this a fact?

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' I—

''{a buzzer sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like we're out of time here. ''{cut back to a view of the entire couch.}'' This is Strong Bad, signing off. Tune in again next week when we'll finally convince Senor Cardgage to help us...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing.} ''

'''SBLOUNSKCHED!:''' Senor Cardgage?!? Man, that guy is just so cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, man... ''{his voice fade away and becomes unintelligable.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it, !Deh Ksnulbs. SBLOUNSKCHED! in a nutshell. I guess he's a pretty cool guy. I mean, he likes Senor, so he can't be all that bad. ''{stops typing.}'' Man... so cool...

But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my master-dly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperon! ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===

*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced). Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===

*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon".
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
*The label on the disk in the Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]] six years ago.
*This is the first appearance of the Strong Sadstronaut, previously seen only in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]]. The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan.
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
* "The King of Town's Popular Cartoon Show" is another case of the King of Town trying to appear cool and popular.
* In this email, Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend's]] name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following Quote of the Week, it was spelled "Delelilia".
*This is another example of Strong Bad playing the part of a woman, as in many of the Halloween cartoons.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.
*As Homestar dances, his left foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes some references to [[Robots|robots]].
*This email makes references both [[Homestar's Pants]] and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Dance from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "GOO GOO GOO JOOB".
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Exploration Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]]. Robinson's character, Rico, a gangster, often ended his sentences with "see?".
*[[All the King's Men!]] is a reference to the nursery rhyme [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]].

== Easter Eggs ==
*On the old background, there were three links in the black area below the video. The text was the same color as the background (Click and drag to highlight.) They say "[[HR:puppet1.jpg|lookit me!]]", "[[HR:puppet2.jpg|no, me!]]", and "[[HR:puppet3.jpg|whu bout me?]]". Click on them and you would get some behind-the-scenes photos. (Note: To access this Easter egg you must be watching the full page version of the toon, not the popup version from the website. The full page version is linked to at the bottom of the page.) It appears this Easter egg can no longer be accessed.

== Fun Facts ==
*The glasses worn by Puppet Homestar are the "[[Homestar's Shades|cool shades]]" seen throughout the Homestar Runner website.
*This was originally called "Whoa! Puppets", and then "Puppet Thing", and now "Everybody Knows It".
*Homestar's song is a parody of public service shorts that ran during Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980s.
*This song was actually heard in [[labor day]] first, which is why Homestar's voice seems cut off.
*This was first put up as a Quicktime video, and then later as a Flash file, so people who didn't have Quicktime didn't need to install it.
*In the Easter egg photos, the baseboards and windows seem to have blue painter's tape where they meet the wall, perhaps the walls were recently painted.
*The wall is painted a similar color to the background color of the CD album, [http://cfinest1.tripod.com//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/mmgnfpwlbn.jpg.w180h180.jpg Good News For People Who Love Bad News] by Modest Mouse.
*This was later made into a [[Puppet Jam: Everybody Knows It|Puppet Jam]] which was a [[Everything Else, Volume 1|DVD]] exclusive.
*This is the first instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Alright, so this is Mike and Ryan doing the commentary on this one.

'''RYAN:''' 'Tis true.

'''MIKE:''' Matt is on the phone with his wife so maybe if he gets off the phone, he'll join us. So this was the first puppet thing we did for the website.

'''RYAN:''' It was.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, Ryan, um- I guess this was pretty soon after you started working with us. Pretty quick. Um, we shot it in Matt's bedroom with a somewhat green walls to key it out.

'''RYAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Late at night.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, very late at night. So the keying out of the background was a little more difficult than usual. You can see Homestar Runner's propeller disappear a few times and-

'''RYAN:''' You can see things through the keyboard.

''{both laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the keyboard has lots of holes in it.

'''RYAN:''' I love that scene.

'''MIKE:''' But I made these construction paper cutouts for the backgrounds. Never used that style again. Or did we use that?

'''RYAN:''' Did with the Christmas one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, but that was felt. Yeah, similar though, right. Um-

'''RYAN:''' Lucky was there with us for this too.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, our friend Lucky Yates, who made the, uh- he and our friend Chris Brown made the Homestar and Strong Bad puppets. Um, I guess it's about over, huh?

'''RYAN:''' Is it? It was a short one.

Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you:

2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in 
an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' What? I— I just jump in?

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

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

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

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump!

''{He falls down three panels. There is a woman with a big knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared, but flipped around and with a green background.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music from [[20X6 vs. 1936]] plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes!

''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector field. Strong Bad appears to the right. The synthetic drum beat from [[Main Page 21]] plays in the background.}''

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

''{As Vector Strong Bad speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' HELLOTE.

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

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP.

''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "UP", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator!

''{Cut back to previous view.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth. Stinkoman jumps around and dodges the squares. Strong Bad also jumps over and around the squares, but appears to have more difficulty doing so. Game music from [[video games]] plays. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his Dangeresque sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. A bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left in a bathing suit. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{he half-runs toward the root beer and jumps in}'' Jump! ''{this last word does not appear in a subtitle}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and dances while playing a tune.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Stop Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other. After a moment, Strong Bad disappears again.}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Stripe-ed pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to the interdimensional void, which changes colors constantly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room. The blender still contains the Game Boy, but now also contains a green substance. One and a half avocados are sitting on the desk, along with a jar that reads "Total Load". Homestar is pressing buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the portal and Strong Badman appears on the left side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses another button on the blender. He and the portal both suddenly disappear, and Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a supergroup and record a number one jam!

''{All of the Strong Bad clones groan.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{off-screen, simultaneously with Old-Timey Strong Bad}'' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously with Stinkoman}'' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of e-mails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

''{Cut to Stinkoman standing next to Strong Badman and Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{singing}'' I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl! 

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad winces and looks toward Stinkoman on his last word. Cut to a zoomed out view of the scene, revealing (from left to right), Stinkoman, Strong Badman, Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Bad, Vector Strong Bad, Keyboard Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage, Teenage Strong Bad, Sterrance and Tiny Handed Strong Bad. Strong Badman's words appear in speech bubbles next to him.}''

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

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to a close-up of the pear with its eyes googling, then to another shot of the pear from behind Coach Z with his arm raised higher. Then cut to a close-up of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the original shot. Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{distressed}'' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants.

*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen and echoing slightly}'' Aw, man!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
** They are also apparent in [[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]], making it a [[alternate universe#Real-World References|double reference]].
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsaparilla]] (spelled incorrectly as "sarsparilla" in the flashback scene) is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. It is more commonly pronounced "sass-parilla" than "sar-sparilla" or "sar-sa-parilla".
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed too high. Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*A freemason is a member of a fraternal men's organization such as the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]] or the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]]. Other organizations permitting women and/or minors as members, including [[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc., also fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]]. Drinks containing electrolytes, such as popular sports drinks, are often used to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.
*A [[Wikipedia:Supergroup (bands)|Supergroup]] is a musical group comprising artists who were previously members of earlier groups.

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

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears, despite the fact that those body parts were mentioned in this e-mail.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|rare]] occasion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the [[Strong Sad's Guitar|guitar]] [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*Although it can be argued whether or not Stinkoman has actually smiled before, this is the first time his mouth has been recognizably smile-shaped.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.
*This is the first time we hear the Da Huuuuuudge's voice.
*Frappé is spelt as "Frappe" when Strong Bad talks to The Cheat. It is lacking the accent.
*In the recording studio, the characters are using a wireless microphone. While wireless microphones are handy in live performance (to prevent signal loss on a long cable run, as well as to avoid tangling of cables), they are actually rarely used in studio work because a cabled microphone will deliver truer fidelity.
*Homestar pronounces the word "fruit" without a lisp.
*During the Vector Strong Bad segment, the cartoon's border changes to red.


[[Image:Altuniv1318-1319.png|thumb|From blue to green.]]

===Goofs===
*During the "Because, mere mortal" comic scene, the panel below the next panel has a blue background. In the next scene ("Is rent controlled!"), that panel now has a green background.
*The second time everyone says "Save the last email for Strong Bad", you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (Compare to Keyboard Strong Bad standing next to him.)
**This happens a few times in the email, such as when Strong Bad meets Vector Strong Bad.
*During the recording session at the end, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the Alternate Universe Portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping. It briefly reappears after Strong Bad leaves, but for the remainder of the email, the stool is missing.
*After cutting to the wide shot showing The Cheat with the blender, the Lappy's screen includes the text "Isn't that right, The Cheat?", even though Strong Bad didn't actually type it.

*In the "Save The Last Email" song, Vector Strong Bad is behind Strong Badman, yet his white and green lines appear above Strong Badman when talking/singing.

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

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's intro song refers to flipping [[the bird]].
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string classical guitar.
[[Image:HSRTimeMachine.PNG|thumb|Homestar's Time machine]]
*The alternate dimension machine is a [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|Game Boy in a Blender]]. In [[2 emails]], Homestar claims to have made a time machine by sticking a Game Boy in a [[Blender|blender]] while the email is fast-forwarding.
*This is another example of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]]
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Deutschman originated in [[haircut]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]] and played the same song then as in this email. 
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Also, the word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in Sbemail 150?!?.
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*The woman on Strong Badman's television is holding a [[Big Knife]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells the word "dog" ("dawg") the same way.
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of." The worst contests that originated in children's storybooks are likely to be the "Strongest Man in the World Contest" from the [[Original Book]], and the "Ten Step Footrace" from [[flashback]]. 
*This is another appearance of the [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses.
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Strong Bad previously mentioned "real fruit smoothies" in [[mascot]] when the team won the game.
*Homestar Runner's "real fruit smoothie" is another example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].

=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is better known as the flying, red, one-eyed enemy from the ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' series of computer games. The plot for these games involved demons coming out of portals to hell.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "[[Wikipedia:Photoshopping|Photoshopped]]" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" originated with [[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby|Bill Cosby]]. It was heard in his "Dentist" routine, and was also popularized by the character Mushmouth from ''[[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]''.
* The way Strong Bad travels from panel to panel while visiting Strong Badman may be inspired by the videogame ''[[Wikipedia:Comix Zone|Comix Zone]]''.
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of ''[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. She-Hulk comics were once noted for their [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth-wall breaks]], similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel. These not-always-appreciated gags were introduced by writer [[Wikipedia:John Byrne|John Byrne]], who may be the "genius" Strong Bad ridicules.
* The surreal Coach Z Easter egg is an homage to a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series, ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]''. The background for the scene featured red drapes, and the starring character, Dale Cooper, spills coffee on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee. The unusual speech used by Homestar, meanwhile, was the hallmark of the scene; the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here). It seems as though Matt Chapman faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards. ''Twin Peaks'' was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]], who Strong Sad cited as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'. This is also a reference to the anime art style, where noses are less pronounced than most American cartoons.
* The all-star super group recording a number one jam calls to mind [[Wikipedia:USA for Africa|USA for Africa]], a group of forty-five U.S. musicians that collaborated on the number one single "We Are the World" in 1985, the profits from which were used for famine and disease relief in Africa.
*The [[Fonts|font]] in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]'' comics.
* The [[Sound Effects|sound effect]] in the fishing Easter Egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from ''[[Wikipedia:Fishing with John|Fishing With John]]''.

'''STRONG BAD''': ONE TWO THREE FOUR—

''{Strong Bad starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background, and the following words appear as they are said:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'', EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEiRD"}'', EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'' AND EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEiRD"}''! And I'll never forget the way it was, GRRRL ''{"grrrl"}''...uh!

''{Starts reading in his old Mexican-like accent. However, the text is in the style of Tandy, and it is in fact the [[some_kinda_robot|very first e-mail]] he's ever done.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing 
gloves off before you go to bed? 
 
Sincerely, 
Abdi LaRue 
San Diego, CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops reading at "before you go to".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...dajede...wait a minute! ''{hits Compy, the text fixes itself to be a new email}'' There we go!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey there, Strong Bad! 
I was wondering. How long have you 
known Homestar? Is there some sort of 
flashback that could describe how 
and when you guys met? 
Your Fan, 
Jon, NH</blockquote>

''{Instead of "New Hampshire," Strong Bad says "No Hamsters."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH!

''{As he says this with a resonating noise, the left side of the screen expands out. The camera then cuts out to a wide shot. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right side: WOOOOOAHH—

''{the right side of the screen starts to expand, then abruptly bounces out to its full extent, revealing Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.

'''STRONG BAD''': I guess I should start...lookin' to the right more often.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': In fact, I think I might live here.

'''STRONG BAD''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{leaning forward}'' Yes, sir.

'''STRONG BAD''': Frame shift left! WOOOOOAAHHH!

''{The screen starts shifting left to get Homestar out of the shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': See ya after the flashback!

''{We go to a picture of Strong Bad on the moon with a tennis racket. The drawing is in the style of the original children's book, though the characters have limited animation. Strong Bad narrates the story but doesn't read everything—text that he doesn't read is included in this transcript in parentheses. Also, character voices are imitated and are denoted in brackets.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{narrating}'' Strong Bad meets the Homestar Runner.

''{The page turns to a picture of just Strong Bad.}''

Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.

''{The page turns to a picture of Strong Bad and Coach Z playing tennis on the moon.}''

One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3. ''{Strong Bad}'' "You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million," said Strong Bad. ''{Coach Z}'' "Ooooooh. Now I understand."

''{The page turns to Strong Bad and Coach Z flying down a rainbow from the moon to earth.}''

They flew on a sweet, sweet rainbow bridge back down to Free Country USA.

''{The page turns to Coach Z holding a towel and talking to Strong Bad.}''

''{Coach Z}'' "I'ma go shower up!" said the Coach Z. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Gross!" said Strong Bad. "Shut up!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad walking toward a giant pink egg with yellow spots.}''

Walking home, Strong Bad came upon a big ol' egg. "Waaaaaaaaagh!"

''{The page turns to a closer view of Strong Bad and the egg.}''

"I wonder what's inside," thought tiny-handed Strong Bad.

''{The page turns to see Homestar behind the egg wearing a yellow shirt with a [[Ducks|duck]] on it.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Hello! How do you like my egg, Mr. Strong Bad?" said a voice from behind. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Who the crap are you, Duckshirt?" asked No-shirt. ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner!" said the duckshirt. "Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete."

''{The page turns to a closer view of the scene.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Well I folk say you're a terrific liar!" ''(said Strong Bad.)'' "This is plainly my egg." ''{The Prince of Town}'' "What's all the commotion about?"

''{The page zooms out, showing the Prince of Town looking at Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

...said the svelt, young Prince of Town. "And who's this weirdo in the duckie shirt?" ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific ''(athlete!" said Duckshirt.)'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Prancibald over here says this egg belongs to him, when I found it first."

''{Zoom in to a closeup of the Prince of Town.}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "We'll settle this with a ten-step footrace."

''{The page turns to show a crowd of characters, including Mr. Bland and Señor from the original children's book. Everyone is watching Strong Bad and Homestar at the start line of a race.}''

And so they all gathered for a ten-step footrace. The slim and trim young Prince of Town explained the rules.

''{A piece of paper shows up reading: "Ten-step Footrace Official Rules. Rule One. Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner! Rule Two. No biting."}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad and Homestar at the line and Marzipan giving the startoff.}''

''{Marzipan}'' "Ready-and-set-and-go-now." ''{they start running, with Homestar counting}'' ''{Homestar}'' "One, two, three, four, five, six..." ''{Strong Bad takes tiny steps and is way behind}'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Keep up the pace. Gotta break 4:40"

''{The page turns to see silhouettes of everyone, and Homestar has reached the end.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Ten!"

''{The Prince of Town}'' "And the Duckie-man is the winner. Loser gets the egg."

''{The background music plays several confused notes, then the page turns to a closeup of Homestar, with Strong Bad and the egg in the background.}''

''{Homestar}'' "WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}" ''{Strong Bad}'' "Hooray a-for me!!"

''{The page turns to show Strong Mad holding the egg over his head while Strong Bad watches.}''

And so Strong Mad helped to break open the egg. ''{Strong Mad tosses the egg}''

''{Turn the page to see the egg broke and a bunch of fishsticks pour out.}''

And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!

''{The Cheat springs out of the egg, then the page turns to a closeup of The Cheat. Turn the page again to see Strong Bad and The Cheat with the egg in the background.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!"

''{The page turns again, showing everyone hanging out by a boombox.}''

And so, The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox with high-speed dubbing and everybody put their weight on it! ''{The Cheat plays a remix of the original intro music for H*R.com, and everyone dances.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad sitting at the stool, talking to Homestar, who's sitting on the ground listening to the tale.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So that's pretty much how it all went down, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, yes. Read me another one! Another one!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ohhhhh, very well. This one's called The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw!

''{Strong Bad pulls out a children's book of the same name. Compy beeps and turns blue with the caption "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails." and ASCII art fireworks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—whoah! Would ya look at that! 100 emails. I had no idea! I lost count around 51. Well, I suppose I should do something to celebrate... uh... ooh! I'll say email 100 times!

''{Strong Bad proceeds to say the word "email" 100 times. [[The Paper]] comes down partway through this.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{after saying the last "email"}'' Oo. I'm pa—I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water.

''{A glass of water appears onscreen.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The DVD commentary for this episode reveals several interesting facts—originally, it would have been animated in the normal style, and would have told a different story, until the Brothers Chaps decided to re-write it halfway through. Originally, story elements included Strong Bad wearing a star shirt, and Marzipan attempting to do something about Homestar's awful fashion sense (his [[Duckie Shirt|duckie shirt]], and also in this version, a pair of sandals). She gets him a star shirt, and Strong Bad rips his own shirt off in protest, which is why nowadays, Strong Bad almost never wears a shirt.
*The email was assigned the URL of "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html," breaking the convention of the previous ninety-nine. This was done because of [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "E-mail" exactly 100 times.
**The Paper comes down during "e-mails" #28 through #30.
**For #49 he distinctly says "e-MAIL-a."
**For #67 he quickly says "e-mail-mail-nahduhluh."
**For #72 he says "e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail."
**"E-mails" #91 and #92 blend together so much that it sounds like "email—mail," but if it was just one "e-mail" then there would only be 99, so it has been accepted to be 2 separate "e-mails."
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*This email has the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. It's second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], to [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]'s ten.
*Old-Timey Strong Bad appearing with half a mustache was inspired by a waiter [[The Brothers Chaps]] once encountered who sported the same odd facial hair style.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#Cave Quest|Cave Quest]]".
*At 5 minutes in length, this was longest Strong Bad Email when it was released, and is the longest [[Compy 386]]-era email.

===Remarks===
* Strong Bad walks ten steps before he even crosses the starting line.
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be making it up. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*Strong Bad couldn't have lost count at email 51 because in [[caffeine|Email #91]] the intro is "Coming in at number 91, it's, EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL."
**Also, he knew that it was the 100th email because he confronted users trying to find the email before it was finished in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered two in [[50 emails]], two more in [[2 emails]] (3 more if you count the email answered while the clip was in fast forward), and you could say he answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). If you count by each toon being an e-mail, then he still answered in excess of 103 e-mails, since the three bonus e-mails on the DVD are presumably pre-100th. In addition, there is a "preview email" in the [[Toons Menu]] and never before seen emails in [[personal favorites]]. So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails. The hundredth email was actually answered somewhere between Emails 83-94.
*Though the style of the artwork and the voice acting for most of the characters resembled closely that of the classic Homestar cartoons, Strong Bad, for some reason, sounds nothing like the real "old-school" Strong Bad in the flashback. Old Strong Bad's manner of speaking was very loud and dramatic (almost overacted), and he had a strong Mexican accent. "Old-school" Strong Bad in the flashback is just the opposite, speaking in a monotonic, mumbling fashion.
*When he reads the Tandy e-mail, his accent is more like it is in the old cartoons (most notably, he pronounces "you" as "joo" a few times).
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prance| prancy]].
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]] on the site.
*If you look closely at Mary in the Limozeen Easter egg, you can see that he is wearing a Strong Bad baseball cap.
*The Old-Timey Strong Bad easter egg contradicts "That A Ghost", in which old-timey Strong Bad's mustache is depicted as bone. The Easter egg shows it as hair.
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, Gary and Mary seem to start reacting to Larry's line "We're from the band Limozeen!" before he finishes saying it.

===Goofs===
*"Svelt" is actually spelled "svelte".
*At the very end of the email, changing the contrast on the Compy does not affect the glass of water on the screen.
*When Strong Bad says, "Keep up the pace, gotta break 4:40", there is no period at the end of the sentence.
*When Strong Mad breaks the egg, it cracks, but we see nothing inside. Later, we see "the lifetime supply of fishsticks" that is inside the egg.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad shifts the screen left, the carpet appears to slide to the right, moving without the stool and the table.
*When Homestar looks down in sadness (before Strong Bad shifts himself to the left to start the flashback) the lining for his head pops out of his shirt.
*In the Prince of Town Easter egg, we hear a brief blip of Homestar's Easter egg right at the end.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad first uses "grrl" (seen here as grrrl) in [[i she be]]. The word is also used in the [[Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad Menu]] and [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Old-style Marzipan, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad are from the [[Museum Sketchbook|concept sketches]].
*Old-style Coach Z and Bubs are from "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]."
*This is another example of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*The [[Telebision|TV]] in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from an old H*R.com main menu.
*The two e-mails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*Senor Cardgage's use of the word "[[Combolations|combolations]]" is a reference to the ending credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*In the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad says "Man, so cool!" He said the same thing in [[kind of cool]] as well.
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prance| prancy]].
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]] on the site.

=== Real-World References ===
*The widescreen is 750×400 pixels, a perfect 1.85:1 [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]]. Normal toons are 550×400, or 1.375:1.
*The guitar Larry is holding in the Limozeen egg is the same guitar that Homestar Runner steals in [[Puppet Time]], a Hamer "Bat" spin-off of the more popular [[Wikipedia:Gibson Explorer|Gibson Explorer]] shape. The bass the other guy is holding is a [[Wikipedia:Fender|Fender]] Jazz-Bass.
**It may also be a [[Wikipedia:Jackson Kelly|Jackson KE3 Kelly]] model.
*The melty candy bar Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad/Senor Cardgage holds up near the end appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Zagnut|Zagnut bar]], which was also seen in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*"Put your weight on it!" was a famous line from the [[Wikipedia:Dolemite|Dolemite]] movie ''Disco Godfather.''
*The Old-timey Easter egg shows very strong similarities to elements of the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_and_hyde Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.]

== DVD Version ==
*The Limozeen video is now in fullscreen and much higher quality.
**In addition, you can use your DVD player's angle Button while watching the Limozeen clip to change the clip's background image. There are three separate backgrounds in all.
*Due to it being widescreen, the characters in this email look a little stretched out from top to bottom, unless you are watching it on a widescreen TV. Computer monitors seem to have this problem as well.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' The guitar just fell on the floor.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ooh, I like this, uh, part. The song—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should make a full song of that. And I'll never forget the way it was, Mike. I thought— I wanted it to be this sort of nostalgic punk rock song, you know, 'cause, what if we decided after doing a hundred we weren't going to make anymore Strong Bad Emails? So I wanted it to kinda be like that.

'''MIKE:''' We decided to do more.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' At least twelve more as of this commen— as of the time of this commentary.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. So Abdi LaRue, uh, was our first, uh, the first email.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm, that's true.

'''MATT:''' Was he just a fan that we tal— that just emailed a lot early— in the early days?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yup.

'''MATT:''' Or— he or she, we don't really know— do we know the gender of Abdi LaRue? I always assumed it was a guy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah...?

'''MATT:''' Abdi, if you—

'''MIKE:''' I don't know any other Abdis, so—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true. So this— we— a lot— a lot of gimmicks sort of in this one, visually. Uh, the widescreen thing...

'''MIKE:''' The song at the beginning. Cave Quest there—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' That— That—

'''MIKE:''' Home— White character.

'''MATT:''' A game Mike and I made, Cave Quest.

'''MIKE:''' On the Apple II...

'''MATT:''' C+

'''MIKE:''' C++

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Low-res graphics text interface—

'''MIKE:''' He threw a spear, at this dinosaur—

'''MATT:''' He threw a rock at one, to knock the spear out of the little dinosaur's mouth.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh. And it showed the animation of the rock falling against the, uh— across the screen.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So this is done in the style of the original children's book, uh, that [[Craig Zobel]], and I— myself made in 1996. Um, so these were the original— That drawing of Coach Z was done, like a couple of years later.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I like that little, like, that little lip, the little flair on the "Z" that used to exist—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Because like— 'Cause he was originally going to have hair like that, didn't he?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah he had like—

'''MATT:''' On like some early drawings you did, where it has a little "Z" hair sort of.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I like the way he walks, there. It looks good, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.

'''MATT:''' So this whole email, we got very far into this email and then completely rewrote it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, if you watch the, um, Making of the Hundredth Email time-lapse which is on this DVD in the Bonus Features section—

'''MATT:''' Three disc set, Strong Bad Emails DVD!

'''MIKE:''' That's right. But anyway, if you watch, you can see me making graphics if you look closely of, like, Strong— of Homestar wearing sandals.

'''MATT:''' Yeah he's got the duckshirt on, but it's like regular graphics. It's—

'''MIKE:''' It's using the regular style, yeah. It's before we decided to do— and you can see, like, in the second day of the time-lapse, Matt's looking— like writing, and is pretty much rewriting the whole thing.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um, there was lots of stuff about his duckshirt, like, originally, Marzipan gives him his star shirt.

'''MATT:''' Right. Er, we kinda overdid the origin of things.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Like, we were explaining—

'''MIKE:''' Because Strong Bad had a star shirt on, too, and he tore it off because he didn't want to wear one—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —because Homestar had one too—

'''MATT:''' And he had never put a shirt on since then.

'''MIKE:''' And that was why— And that was why Strong Bad never wore a shirt again.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a good Marzipan mouth. ''{imitating Strong Bad}'' Augh!

'''MIKE:''' Do it, Strong Bad, do it!

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' That little silhouette— The yellow silhouetted thing is a staple of the Dennis the Menace comics.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' Usually the third frame is the yellow silhouette.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true.

'''MIKE:''' I love that.

'''MATT:''' And so in the Easter egg, the fishsticks do sort of explain why the King of Town is— is fat—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —and got this lifestyle.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that old Bubs! Lookin' good!

'''MATT:''' That's of course, uh, on the left side is, uh, Mr. Bland—

'''MIKE:''' —doing cartwheels. Then on the right is Senor— Señor.

'''MATT:''' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble is his full name. Now Strong Mad is great. And Strong Sad too, is— got little stubs for arms. I like how this is like— Homestar's so excited. ''{Mike laughs}'' He's sat down and is like crowded around the campfire. We should make that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So, are we gonna do the commentary of him saying "email" a hundred times?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should talk over it anyway.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, what should we talk about? Maybe um...

'''MATT:''' Anything else about this email? This hundredth email? It was kind of a—

'''MIKE:''' It took three days to make—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was defin—

'''MIKE:''' Took a long time to make.

'''MATT:''' It's one of the longest ones. One of the biggest file size-wise.

'''MIKE:''' Um—

'''MATT:''' What did w— Oh, we had just met for the first time Jonathan Howe, the guy that programs all our games for us. We had just met him in person for the first time, and came down to visit, and then he left on... Monday morning? Or was it Sunday?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think Monday morning.

'''MATT:''' Oh, no no, he left Sunday morning and then we started working—

'''MIKE:''' This was Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and we put it up on Tuesday night.

'''MATT:''' But we didn't decide to make the hundredth email, we had been kind of putting it off because we knew we had to make it a big deal. And so we didn't do it until, like, uh, we decided it that day, basically, right? On that Sunday, that we were like, "Ah, let's just do it," like we were going to do some other update or do— or try and put it off, and we just decided to pull the trigger on it or we'd always be putting it off.

'''MIKE:''' There. We're done.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Lemonade Stand.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Dennis the Menace (US)|Dennis the Menace]] is a long-running comic strip featuring the adventures of a mischievous young boy.
*"Lemonade Stand" probably refers to the [[Wikipedia:Apple II family|Apple II]] game, which featured a graphic similar to the glass of water.

There have been many occurances of "Mashing Go/Play" on something throughout the Homestar Universe. This is used to replace the term "push" in relation to a button.

I don't know if this is an official running gag yet or not, but ""Mashing go/play" on something is seen in Everybody Knows It, flashback, alternate universe, and the introduction to Disc One of strongbad_email.exe" is pretty ugly. {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 07:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

''{Open to a shiny red background. A King of Town emblem appears on the screen. As the singers sing, the words "Very Own Popular Cartoon" appear below the KOT head. The KOT head moves to the music a little.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The words "The King of Town's" appear above the KOT emblem.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The word "Quite" is written between "Own" and "Popular", and "Show!!" is inserted after "Cartoon". The music stops.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Let the King have some!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quick voiceover as the screen darkens}'' The King of Town's Very Own Popular Cartoon Show will not be seen this week. Instead we bring you: Strong Bad's very popular cartoon show, already in progress.

''{Cut to the Lappy with the email already displayed. We join the scene as Strong Bad says "rong Bad..."}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.

''{Cut to a closeup of the alarm clock. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperon ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===

*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced). Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===

*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon".
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!" This may have been because people thought that the [[alternate universe|previous email]] was meant to be the last one.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]].
*This is the first appearance of the Strong Sadstronaut, previously seen only in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]]. The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan.
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school. There is also the possibilty that, for some inexplicable reason, senior proms are a regular high-school-independent event attended by whoever chooses to attend them.

===Goofs===

*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.
*As Homestar dances, his farthermost (left) foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes references to [[Robots|robots]], [[Homestar's Pants]], and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "Goo Goo Ga Joob".
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]]. Robinson's character, Rico, often ended his sentences in this way.
*''[[All the King's Men!]]'' is most likely a reference to the fairy tale [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]]. It is also the name of a novel loosely based on the life of [[Wikipedia:Huey Long|Huey Long]].

I think Strong Bad is talking about Marzipan here... you know, the real type.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 16:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

:From Wikipedia: "Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight." Sounds reasonable to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== The poopsmith speaketh!? ==

Did the poopsmith really just speak in this email? The voice sounds exactly like the poopsmith's in different town, but the poopsmith is shown shrugging afterwards like that wasn't his voice. I'd like to say that he didn't, but I'm not too sure about it. What are your opinions? - Wevegottapulse

:I think it was him. Who else could it be? It sounded like he was about to lead the band into that "Oh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::Reply to Trey: Totally different "Ohhh Yeah", actually. The one in this email is higher-pitched and was pretty common to hear in this kind of music. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::There's certainly enough suggestion there (that this was The Poopsmith). Might I also point out that this was done in the same voice as the "Hello!" in [[different town]].
::THEN AGAIN! That was in Strong Bad's imagination. Do we have proof that this scene was NOT in Strong Bad's imagination? Did this senior prom actually happen? If not, having The Poopsmith speak here might not be as unusual as it would be if this senior prom really did happen. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I personally think its safe to assume this email wasn't in Strong Bad's imagination. With how Strong Bad actually got The Cheat and Strong Mad to help him and all. (If it was, then we really can't trust anything that happens in H*R ever again. >.> ) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Fair enough. :) Since we can't absolutely prove it was The Poopsmith who said "Ohhh yeah!", there's a Fun Fact there that ties this occurrence together with [[different town]]. I believe that should suffice. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::Did the Oh Yeah remind anyone else of the Kool-Aid Man's catchphrase? Before the Poopsmith was shown I thought that was who was speaking. Don't know if it's good enough to be a Real Life reference. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 20:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== More than two prom...blems? ==

Current Fun Fact:

*Marzipan's comment "...every freakin' year...." implies that she has attended the senior prom more than once. Because it is typically the final dance in high school, most people only attend the senior prom once.

I edited this from another version that said "it seems implausible that she would have attended it more than once". I beg to differ: There are a few reasons why she could have. (1) She could have gotten held back and repeated <s>the third grade</s> her senior year multiple times. (2) She could have gone with Homestar in previous years (and he'd probably be more likely to get held back). And (3) She could have served some other purpose in previous years.

My point is, I don't think we have enough to go on to say why she'd be at the prom multiple years. But a lot of cartoons and comics run on the implication that the characters never age, and they repeat the same years of their lives each year (a 365-day version of Groundhog Day, or something). That seems plausible in the HR Universe as well. Thus, I think the Fun Fact should kinda gloss over the "implausibilities" and relate Marzipan's comment to the way it is in real life.

[[the show|And for the block, do you agree?]] {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: I agree. Also, Marzipan could have simply ''heard'' that pantless-Strong Bad won Prom Queen multiple years in a row or whatever happened. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It makes more sense to me that they just all go to a senior prom every year. [[User:130.127.84.204|130.127.84.204]] 18:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ==

I would suggest that there definitely needs to be a reference regarding the ongoing pants/no-pants debate regarding Coach Z and Homestar. This seems to put the nail in the coffin that there are, in fact, no pants going on with either of them. Although (he realizes) it could also be argued that Coach Z wears a body suit, which doesn't technically have any stand-alone pants, which still leaves the door open for his "green-body/green body suit" ambiguity. (PS: Stand Alone Pants would be a great name for a rock band.)
:There's a reference to [[Homestar's Pants]] already on the page. That's where the debate is most fully explained. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::Whether or not this is proof Homestar doesn't wear pants should be put up for a vote me thinks. The obvious argument for would be the fact that his pants didn't poof away at all and his discussion with pompom during the easteregg seemed to imply he was covering. The arguments against could be that Strong Bads remote malfunctioned, or perhaps Homestar wears pants that look exactly like his legs!

== Thank Goodness! ==

I'ma just glad Strong Bad wore undawears this day. Thank you, thank you. Back to where I was! {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 18:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. I actually didn't realise that Strong Bad was the only one in the group that wears pants until now. Maybe Bubs too, but he wasn't in the shot. I can't imagine how Bubs would look pantsless.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 18:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: There's something I'd prefer not to think about... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

==Hey, ummm, everybody?==

This wasn't really the senior prom. It all happens in the present, and evrybody was probably preforming for Strong Bad's little idea thing.
:See Joshua's comment above, about whether it was in SB's imagination or not. If it wasn't a canonical occurence, then we really can't trust anything that happens on H*R.com again. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== All the Kingsmen ==

I know the band's name All the King's Men is more than likely a reference to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty (which remarkably isn't in RWR). But it could also be a reference to the rock band "The Kingsmen", famous for their cover of "Louie Louie". [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 20:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
*It sounds plausible to me - sort of like Before and After Puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. It would fit the situation, since that seems to be the cover band type. Do I detect a double meaning? {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 20:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Delilelia, you got me on my knees ==

What is up with the "Delilelia" easter egg? -[[User:Shnizzedy|Johnny Baby]] 20:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
*Since we missed the beginning of the email, that part's recapping what we missed. So we still have an email song and all that. {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 21:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
