Strong Lad: /* Sick as well */

== I feel so bad for the Cheat! ==

Ok, this may be minor, but it almost sounds like Homestar is saying "Four miles For hours" or "four miles four hours" instead of "Four miles per hour" Am I the only one? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:19, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Yes.
:::Yeah, I went back and listened to it, and he *does* say "per hour" but his p is a little "ph"-afied. Incredible. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:25, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==The Paper Filmography==

Is the The Paper's first appearance outside of a Strong Bad email? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:[[Superbowl Dealie|No.]] - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

And also [[Arcade Game]] - sarducci

For that matter, is this the first appearance of an actual e-mail (well, it seems like a legitimate e-mail) outside of an official numbered sbemail segment?

== sick lappy ==

the reason you dotn get ripples when you click the lappy is because it is sick with a virus too!!!
:No, if TBC wanted to make the Lappy sick, it would have been more obvious. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Sick as well ==

What a coincidence!!!! I stayed home from school today because I was sick. It's amazing how life works out. lol--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 18:23, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Heheh, me too. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 20:11, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Holy crap! Me, too!

Yeah I've been doing my best not to get sick either. It's been going around! It's a fitting reflection of reality that TBC made through this short today. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:28, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Weird... I've been a little snuffly too. Maybe TBC is just psychic and predicted we'd ALL be sick as dogs today. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 22:46, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, even ''I'' was a little sick over the weekend. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 23:59, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well i'm not sick, but when I was coming home from school, I had a stuffy nose.
-[[User:DaChazman|Dachazman]]

::Or (eerie music) maybe TBC ''made'' us sick today! --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 02:17, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Or maybe because TBC have about 50,000+ viewers, a bunch of them were bound to be sick during the time of this toon's release. ;) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:23, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't sick but my freind but they haven't heard of Homestar Runner! So it isn't a big coincedence there is something going round so maybe thats why they made this short -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong Lad]]

== 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)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:27, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For exactly the reasons It's dot com gave. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
**That's what I thought. Then I came here and it said "grayest" so I was confused. It kept getting changed, so I just wanted to see what people said on it... {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:52, 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]]
*'''Greatest''' The joke is that Strong Sad's day is better when he (or Strong Bad?) has a disease than normally. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 23:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest''' Exactly!!!!!!!!!(I also agree with the "Or Strong Bad?" thing) [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
*'''Greediest'''. To me, Strong Sad is saying ''"greediest."'' How about any of you? {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 01:53, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''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)

== Laugh or Cry ==

This may just be me but it sounds more like The Cheat is laughing mischievously while in the puke pail. Does anyone else think so or do I need my ears checked? [[User:Stinkoman Z|Stinkoman Z]]
:You need your ears checked. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 23:38, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
YEah. It also sounds like he might be doing a small bit O' pokun at the end part of his puke pail appearence. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Puke pail ==

So, why didn't the puke pail get brought to Strong Bad? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:10, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Whoever was told to do so (The Cheat) was busy up-chucking. {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 00:14, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Up-chucking?! More like, puking really loudly! I don't get it at all. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Um, up-chucking=puking {{User:Camalex/sig}} 00:19, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

How so? I think you're right. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:23, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:They're synonyms. Also barf, throw up, spew, vomit, ralph, blow chunks, toss your cookies, toss a sidewalk pizza, Technicolour yawn, tango with the toilet, spiff your biscuits, regurgitate... Yeah... I collect synonyms for that. Call me crazy (I collect synonyms for 'crazy' too). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay, I know already! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:29, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure if The Cheat was up-chucking or that he got stuck in Strong Bad's puke pail somehow.
[[User:DaChazman|DaChazman]]

:He was sick. Everyone was sick. He wasn't just "stuck." - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 00:40, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Can't you see that we are all quite worried? The Cheat was in there, using it when he was sick! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:41, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I thought he was just stuck in the pail and was miserable. It sounded like he was crying. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 00:51, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right. But "Can't you see Grandma's watchin' her stories"?! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:52, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==puke pail for him!==
i think the label on the box is a reference to j.c. penny comercials where they say phrases like:"hats for her! and jeans for him!"
i couldnt think of a better example....-[[User:Timmy!]]
:Um, no. I think you're looking too hard. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 01:10, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

i dont think i am! its extremely similar right? dont you think? i thought this would be exepted!-[[User:Timmy!]]

Uh, no. It's more of a "It's his puke pail, not SB's. HE'S FREAKIN' SICK!" comment TBC put in there. --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 01:14, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

THAT'S IT! We've managed to get this far! :D No one can believe this. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:15, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I don't see how it would be "J.C Penny's" speficially, as a lot of stores/brands use that. It's too broad to even mention. {{User:Camalex/sig}}

Well, just take note of this... there can also be a barf bag. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:19, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

fine it can be a reference to alot of stores okay? jeez...-[[User:Timmy!]]

hello????????anyone their?-[[User:Timmy!]]

:If it's a referense to a bunch of stuff then it's not really noteable, as everyone would know it already. It's too broad to make a comment about it. Think about it, you wouldn't put "Strong Bad's gloves are red. This is a referense to other things that are red" would you?

==i feel like a few dollars.==
does anyone else view this as sounding a lot like somethig homsar would say? expecially with strong sad's tone of voice? it might be just a coincidence, though. [[User:i know. can you believe it? |ik.cybi?]]

Is it just me, or is Homestar hitting some inappropreate stuff here?? - [[User:C.Olimar788|C.Olimar788]]
:I think that's the point. They're teaching how to NOT behave inappropriately. Or trying, anyway. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the cap has a point. "Getting teen pregnant" stuck right out to me too. While the site has numerous innuendos (for instance: "cold ones", "dry t-shirt contests", the poopsmith and his mysterious trade) they've gone to pretty great lengths to avoid directly referencing anything offensive or controversial, even poop. Seems like referring to pregnancy directly is overstepping that line. Watch now as someone jumps out to say something extreme about censorship.

:Uh, "get teen pregnant" doesn't make much sense on its own. Also, Reyanold is a boy.

::Well, on the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with the word "pregnant" in and of itself. I mean, it's not like they described it elaborately or anything. There's really no big deal. --[[User:Bluelite|Bluelite]]

Just a few days ago I was doing my daily web surfing and I came upon Tvtome/Tv and looked up my favirote cartoon One Piece. There was a fourm and I looked at it, it was about what on a cartoon they said on One pice it was a very mild bad word, crap or freaking is worse then the word they used, but then this other guy said they had a ''very'' bad cuss word on another show/Shamain King if you've ever heard of it he could've lying then again you never know. I see the future times being bad for the children. [[User:Bassium!|Bassium!]]

:::It was the "some guy who was born" that was supposed to be really stupid, so yeah it's Jesus. However, as an atheist, this doesn't exactly bother me.

::::Of course an atheist would say that "you should be able to boot into religious figures just as much as anyone else". It's like saying a GUY dictating what should be offensive for women.

You won't miss the pet, but it means alot more to the owner. I didn't understand the Chaps were catholic, but I still find the old toon in question somewhat offensive.

Oh come on, they're sending up terrible sex education films. The "teen pregnant" comment is just another poke at the highly idealised world the makers of said videos deal in. You've got to assume that if they're sending up sex-ed videos they're not aiming at the under-eights market. [[User:83.67.4.159|83.67.4.159]] 10:28, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I completely agree. Anyone with doubts should go here: http://sonicsez.ytmnd.com/. If sonic can talk about "touching", "teen pregnant" seems pretty damn tame to me. These public service announcments are all over cartoons anyway. TBC take a good stance by being a bit risque for kids entertainment, but if a kid were to view their site, they could almost certainly deal with it.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 11:45, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oooh! Oooh! Now it's time for "my two cents about Reynold!" (''sound of muffled trombone''). I think TBC were simply trying to come up with an inappropriate behavior for Reynold to be chastised about - the phrase "get teen pregnant" makes as much sense as "peer-2-teen choice behavior." Let us pity poor Reynold, who, in addition to not being allowed on any missions, isn't allowed to watch a PG-13 movie about ponies. This constant sheltering feeds his naive persona - the little dude can't even cuss properly. So, when he attempts to express his frustration about being sent to bed, "get teen pregnant" is the best he can come up with. He's not going to get pregnant, or get someone pregnant - he's using risque language inappropriately. This is similar to how little children, flush with excitement over learning a new curse word, use the word relentlessly without even understanding what it means. In conclusion: this was one of the funniest toons on the site in recent memory. —{{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}}13:13, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I doubt theres anything to really make a case about. As mentioned before, getting teen pregnant makes no sense - especially as Reynolds says it, and since when is pregnancy innapropriate? I may be over exageratting, but I think everyone here is born thanks to a pregnancy. And I doubt society's reached a point where one is ashamed of being pregnant. The line just shows Reynold's lack of common sense/wit. I mean, if you want to make a fuss... why not [[for kids|make one about Strongbad screaming to kids I'll kill ya]] or complain about him willingly attempting [[homsar|to murder someone]]. If people can see those two instances as humor, I dont see why the pregnancy line should raise any discussion at all

:Well, as a christian it makes me mad to hear people making fun of god! [[User:Bassium!|Bassium!]]

H*R doesn't really make fun of God. Besides the whole Decemberween toon a long while back, there's nothing really offensive in that arena. And quite possibly "What's that jargle? Scripture? You're going scripture?" But that's too funny to be offensive to me. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]''''' 17:42, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

: "What's that Jargle? Scipture?" - similar jokes have been made by my own pastor, so what the heck. It's funny. May I mention that the "Get Teen pregnant" thing isn't offensive to me? If they had SHOWN something to the effect... that would have been disturbing. But as it was, it was a three word sentence that really didn't do anything...

:: Pretty soon this thread (which really should be on the forum), is gonna need its own page. Anydangway, previous toons aside, ''this'' toon was '''making fun''' of the fact that people get offended by crazy stuff and '''highlighting''' the fact that TBC don't actually use swears on the site. As the Commandos were talking about cussing, I wondered whether we would hear any real ones, and I thought the way the toon ended up going was hilarous. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:25, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The only reason that I thought it was offensive originally was because I misheard Reynold. I thought he said "get A teen pregnant," which I wouldn't have liked. However, when I re-heard him, I noticed that it was indeed just "teen pregnant," not "a teen pregnant." So, yeah. -- anonymous

Yeah I agree that H*R isn't for kids. It did start out as a kid's book, but if you notice, the kid's book is pretty much a satire of other kid's books. The whole site is satire and a lot of the jokes are ones that kids wouldn't understand. In fact, I'd go so far as to say most young children who would be reading kids books would not understand a darn thing on the site. It's adult entertainment, for the most part, and I think we should keep that in mind. As for the whole god thing, if you noticed, TBC tries to keep religion out of H*R. There are very few, if any, references to it. The fact that they call it "Decemberween" and do other stuff is their attempt at appealing to the largest audience possible. While they may be Christian, it's clear that they don't make that a factor in their work. I think that we should keep this in mind while watching the clips. Just my two cents. -- Anonymous [[User:64.164.69.218|64.164.69.218]] 08:09, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, because Homestar was never borderline before. It's not like they ever hinted at threesomes, getting to third base or flipping people off... - [[User:Camalex|<font color=orange><b><i>Camalex</i></b></font>]]

Look, the fact is, this quote is different than the way the brothers usually handle "naughty" subject matter. They usually say something that is some combination of an obvious inuendo (Like "Cold Ones" instead of Beer) and something plainly impossible (like smoking candy). In this case, while what was said was still technically impossible, there was no inuendo <i>at all.</i> That ends up leaving "Teen pregnant" as part of the punchline. Some people are going to be offended at the mere mention of the controversial subject matter, and others will worry that TBC are implying people get too worked up over teen pregnancy. By failing to use a pseudenym or some other tool like they usually do, the brothers left themselves open to this.

If it had taken place later in the toon--once everybody knew what was being made fun of--it wouldn't have offended nearly as many people. But the joke really was structured differently than most of the jokes like this they do, so it's going to offend people who wouldn't normally be offended. That doesn't mean people are being too uptight or, (as has been suggested on the forum) people hate Cheat Commandos. It just means that, while similar to the other jokes, this one really was different, and so people are going to feel differently about it.

:One thing that I'd like to point out is that compared to other "bad things" on the site, like Cold Ones, flipping people off, etc, are considered to be '''good, perfectly fine''' things. "Teen pregnant" is pointed out to be obviously bad. There's a difference. This kind of thing is nothing new. At least here they make it look bad. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

::Not to mention they mention smoking (teachers can go have a smoke while the film is playing). I think this was simply a toon reflecting some more subversive ideas but doing it in a funny way. There is an undercurrent of laissez-faire attitudes here but nothing to get worked up over. Approved by "some people who know what's best"? This is as close to political commentary they've ever gotten and I think they did it well without ruffling many feathers.

As for "Oh Holy Crap". The character's name is Strong BAD. Not Strong Politically Correct, though I'd love to see him come on as a cousin or something. The summary of the toon on the menu says "Strong Bad offends everybody." Old school Strong Bad was more explicitly a villain and this was part of his character.

--[[User:Dantheburgerking|Danny]] 22:17, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Recent talk has been that the difference between shorts and toons is not length, but the content and story. See talk [[Talk:TrogdorCon '97|here]] {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 22:24, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::So... are we gonna list a fact to this effect on every new Short (like the one on the page as of this writing), or are we gonna change our interpretation of Short to something like on that other talk page there? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:17, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I'm not sure that one actually works in this case - this one is a Cheat Commandos cartoon (well, edutainment piece) that seems just as much a "story" as Shopping for Danger, at least IMHO. And it's almost as long as Shopping for Danger. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:50, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::Shopping for Danger has a story with a beginning, development, and conclusion. Namely, the Commandos hear a Blue Las-alert, spring into action, fight the bad guys, and finally rush home when Reynold blows up the base. It's thin, but there, and all of the action takes place in the real world (at least as far as the Cheats are concerned). ''This'' toon, however, is slice-of-life. The only real scene is there in the headquarters. None of the cutaway segments are actually happening, and TBC take other liberties (such as having Gunhaver appear on screen when he says "freeze" and having Blue Lasers and Commandos in the same classroom). Hence, it is a Short, not a Toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:07, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::I suppose it depends on your point of view, I guess. I can see what you're saying, but there's a part of me that thinks that the difference between Shorts and Toons is arbitrary any more, or at the very least, may be based on how long the 'toon was ''supposed'' to be. Because between the "story/slice of life" distinction, some really blur the line in my eyes. (For instance, 1936 vs. 20X6, The Reddest Radish, Cool Things, and this one.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:12, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::::I guess the main point I'm trying to make is, yes, the Shorts are long now... do we really have to say so on every page? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::I think that, yes, shorts were short and toons were long '''until''' the release of "cool things," when TBC decided that it would be a waste making 2 minute shorts, since everything else is about 4 minutes long. So they decided to change the definition. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

== Pizza In The Background ==

Did anyone catch what the message board in the background of the Blue Laser hideout Easter egg said? It said something about pizza, but I can't read it. Anyone have a suggestion? --Bluelite
:I think it was something like 'Operation: Dress as Pizza'. I looked, but it was a bit obscured by the characters. Maybe someone with one of those fancy decompilers can tell us. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
Decomplier'd! "OPERATION DRESS UP AS PIZZA!!" - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

Thanks. That would've bothered me a lot. --[[User:Bluelite|Bluelite]]

== Antioxidants ==
The antioxidants explanation is just dumb. We're not advised to eat foods with antioxidants in them for the prevention of acne. Anti-oxidants prevent oxidation; having these chemicals in the body and are thought to prevent cancer and stave of the visible signs of aging. They may be used in over the counter acne medicine, but they aren't doing anthying in them. Anti-acne medicine works through cleansing/astringent properties. Prescription anti-acne medicine is antibiotics. There is absilutely no evidence that topical application of antioxidants has any effect at all. Eplaining antioxidants as acne preventers is really bizzare, and I don't understand why it got changed back. At least the link to antioxidants still goes to wikipedia, not some skin care product propaganda page like it used to. --Sarducci

:As I said below, 80's acne medication advertising focused on antioxidants. I'm certainly not trying to promote any propaganda, just the idea that the reference to antioxidants is a reference to that bygone age that connected "antioxidants" and "acne". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:50, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

*Ah, I was just going to note that. I don't see what acne has to do with it at all, and it's not even mentioned on the Wikipedia article. The cosmetics industry like putting random 'healthy-sounding' chemicals in products without any active effect, such as amino acids in shampoo. Antioxidants are not going to kill bacteria. I don't quite know what to do with the fact though - not sure how to summarise antioxidants without needlessly going into detail. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:47, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I removed the content in question and changed it to something more straightforward. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:20, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Guys, c'mon ... The educational film was aimed at teens. Teens get acne. Antioxidants help clear up acne. Commercials for acne medications in the 80's were all about "anitoxidants." You're right about the wikipedia link: it doesn't mention acne. But the wikipedia article is incomplete. That's why the original post contained a link that contained pertinent information. Y'know ... wikipedia is *NOT* always the best source for information! Ima repost it with the original link that decribed the connection between antioxidants and acne.-- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:27, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:This google [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2004-13%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=acne+antioxidant+ search] returned 713,000 hits.

::I've removed the offending "propaganda" link and replaced it with the google search above. I'm gonna try to find some old Clearasil ads with refs to antioxidants -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:01, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The claim that antioxidants help acne is erronious and without evidence. The explanations section should explain what things are. If you want to include a tag on claims of acne prevention, put it in the triva section or somewhere else. And a link to some ridiculous skin car products site is not appropriate for explaining anything. --sarducci

:Well ... if you'd read my other posts before getting your panties in a bunch, you'd see that I agree with you. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:58, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

If you want to tie tie the antioxidant reference to acne commercials, that belongs in the real-world references section. Explanations should shust say what antioxidants are. --sarducci

Now you just deleted the reference? people probably don't know what antioxidants are, which is what I thought the point of the explanations section is. btw, if you just google search antioxidants, you don't get pages referencing acne. --sarducci

OK, cut it out with adding the acne stuff already. As someone pointed out in a wiki edit, most over the counter acne products (oxy clean, clearasil) are benzoyl perodide (an oxdant) and acid exfoliants. I don't understand your obsession with the acne claim. Antioxidants are much better known for claims of anti-cancer and anti-aging activity.--sarducci wed 4:27pm

It's hardly an "obsession"! I'm just trying to explain the appearance of "antioxidants" in the cartoon. Other than the acne connection, why else would it be mentioned in a teen-oriented educational film? For its wrinkle prevention properties? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:40, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The acne prevention commercials I remember from my 80's childhood were for the aforementioned products with benzoyl peroxide, not antioxidants. You are confused, and there is nothing in the cartoon to support an acne connection. Modern unsupported claims on this subject have no relevance. GO read the web MD article; no mention of acne. You are apparently the only person who beleives this (or thinks it relevant), so stop putting it in the wiki. As for why its in the cartoon? perhaps it is there to evoke the oxy clean/clearasil commercials, but those were for Oxidizers, not antioxidants. Maybe they just put it in to be random. TBC do that. Again, put it in the references section if you think thats what it's referencing. --sarducci

==Sound Effect==
The sound effect used for inappropriate behaviors emanating from the evil side of the brain is the same one used for Secret Eating in a Marshie commercial. -J. Random Passerby

:I think at some point we've gotta draw the line and admit that they reuse sound effects all the time. How tedious it would be if they had to come up with a new sound for every little thing. I personally don't even consider the noise Homsar makes when he walks to be ''his'' sound anymore. On the other hand, however, this wiki '''loves to make lists.''' If we could gather all the reused effects and give them each a generic name and make a big nice table with sound clips and list what toons they're used in... Well, that would be great. Anybody up for that? I'll even give you a link to get started: [[Sound Effects]]. There should be some kind of minimum occurances before a sound is eligible, or something... It's late. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:14, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I'd love to take this task on. I've already begun making a file in Notepad for it. Collecting data and making lists is almost a hobby of mine. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Knowing is Half the Battle ==

I personally think this episode is a stab at the 'And Now You Know' segments at the end of the old G.I. Joe show. Which makes sense since Cheat Commandos itself is a paraody of G.I. Joe. Anyone agree with this? [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

I was thinking the same thing; though I do think its pointing fun to all such segments, who were quite abundant in the 80s and 90s. [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]

== Berenstain Bear Reference ==

On the title slide for Pro-Positive Life Tool #3, the character shown is quite hairy, and looks like the silhouette of a Berenstain Bear, from the books. This is a reference to the Berenstain Bears. The books teach morals, in a fun way for kids. They also teach about health, and the picture shown is very similar to some medical slides of bears from the book The Berenstain Bears go to the Doctor.

Comparison:

I think the vicious teeth alone contradict this comparison. --sarducci

:And the ears are all wrong. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:37, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Easier ==
Wouldn't it be easier just to stick screenshots in there rather than create complicated and still inaccurate blockquotes? - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]''''' 01:41, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I don't think so. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:21, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I think that it would be a little bit more accurate. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 03:28, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::Nevermind accuracy; what we should be doing in the transcript is reproduce it in text. Look at all the email blockquotes. Not a good idea to take a screenshot of each email insted. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:32, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
There are many reasons not to go overboard with screenshots, including things like the fact that some people browse without images (for various things like preference, having a browser that doesn't support images, or being blind), but the most important reason is that a transcript is made of ''words''. And words can be searched for, copied, pasted, and otherwise manipulated in ways that images cannot. Screenshots can ''supplement'' the transcriptions, but they should never be the primary content. For that, you should go to the official site. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:28, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:And let's not forget that there are people browsing this site with slow dial-up. --[[User:AwesomeSauce|AwesomeSauce]] 00:45, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Peer-2-teen ==

Anybody else think that peer-2-teen is supposed to be a reference to "peer-to-peer?" It struck me up front, especially since the numeral 2 is used in the common abbreviation P2P.

==How to add images==
Here's a quick rundown of how to add images:
#If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image use policy]]. Note that the PNG format is preferred.
#Over in the toolbox on the left, click [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].
#(A) Browse to the file on your computer.<br>(B) Write a brief description in the summary area.<br>(C) Click the copyright checkbox.<br>(D) Click "Upload file".
#Place code on your page in the following format, usually at the very top of the page (although you can place it in other places):<br><code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb and/or POSITION|SIZE|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code>

To make an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery|image gallery]], use the wollowing format:
:<code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki>
:Image:image1.png|caption 1
:Image:image2.png|caption 2
:Image:image3.png|caption 3
:<nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>
Start each picture on a new line. You can use links and full wiki markup in the captions.

Click on these links here for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|tutorial]] and more [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Images and other uploaded files|technical info]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax|syntax info]]. HRWiki policy allows [[HRWiki:User_page#What can_I_have_on_my_user_page?|one uploaded image]] per user with no questions asked. For an example, I placed the following code at the top of your page: <code><nowiki>[[Image:cheatgold.PNG|thumb|300px|I've got a gold tooth. Wanna see it? Tough!]]</nowiki></code><br>That's all.

:It was more complicated than normal to revert your page since you had already made changes to it. Here are some basic instructions on how to revert:

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To completely revert a page to a previous version:'''
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#Type a comment in the summary, usually something like "reverted edit by so-and-so; restored last version by what's her face".
#Click "Save page".</div>

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To revert a page and keep some changes at the same time:'''
#Use the page history to determine what changes have been made since the version to which you want to revert.
#Copy the affected section to the clipboard. If there is more than one section, it may be necessary to do a normal revert (see above) and then make the changes again one at a time in later edits.
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#From the clipboard, paste in the new changes over the appropriate old section.
#Type a comment in the summary.
#Click "Show preview" to ensure that you pasted the new changes in correctly.

Okay, I for the instructions, I have this:

:''{Tom's code moved here: [[User:It's dot com/instructions code]]}''

You need to fix up Section II, since I have no idea what's going on there. (And quite possibily sections I and III as well.) You also might want to check out some of the bulleted points in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion#Things_to_consider|things to consider]] section for when you write up the instructions. Well, good luck.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:58, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== STUFF help ==

I would be glad to help you out Dot Com. I'm bored and I'm really digging what you are doing here. Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

:On an aside note, when the time comes will you need help turning all of the current STUFF'd facts to your format? If so lemmie know and I can help you out. When do you think the big change might occur? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

::I'm shooting for the middle of this week. Maybe there won't be a new toon this week. That would help. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you're about ready to make this happen. I would also be willing to help you and Tony with the big change, if you so desire. You know, taking what's currently in STUFF and putting it on the new page. There's a lot of them there. Just let me know. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 03:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I welcome any help I can get. I don't know the best way to go about it. I figure we'll have to temporarily close the STUFF page so that people aren't trying to edit it while we're converting it. Also, I want to open the format up for others to test. I'm trying to get that done tonight. I think the format is really easy to use, but I ''made'' it, so there could be problems I'm not seeing. I'll leave you a note on your talk page when I have more to report, which shouldn't be too long from now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: In case you didn't notice, I've discovered what is causing the problem in STUFF. Not external links in and of themselves (notice that "The Legend of Credits" has an external link.) It's the fact that there was an equal sign in one of the links. Try plugging a random equal sign into any fact (link or no) and see what happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you're looking for a response as to the new STUFF's simplicity, I would say it is pretty easy if you follow the directions. I do have a suggestion, though. For the how to revise page you have the entire template out for cutting and pasting, but the initial template setup has the optional things on parts of it. It might make it easier to take the optional notes and the false user votes off of that template so it's easy to cut and paste the entire thing. That's what I think anyway. Other than that, I think the new system is great. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 19:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I went ahead an implemented everything, including Protecting all the templates and DELETING!! all the test pages I could think of. If there are others I missed, feel free to TBD them. I ended up erasing a lot of old Verdicted facts on the old STUFF page - dig through the history if you really feel you need them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==New STUFF Verdicts==

The new STUFF looks prooty good! One little quibble: it appears that the original posting dates were not included when the open STUFFs were ported. My real question is: how should a VERDICT'D STUFF look? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: The date thing was my fault. Anyway, I guess that a VERDICT should be another template or two, and should be put in place of the arguments and votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: I fixed the dates. For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>

::: Ha ha, it feels like that sometimes.

:Pertmywert, to answer the question you asked earlier, I think you're a fine user. You've made several good contributions recently, including some necessary reverts. Also, in all seriousness, I appreciate your willingness to welcome new users. I think your ♥ is in the right place there. (Side note: there's a link in your welcome template that says "me" but actually points to JoeyDay. Perhaps change "me" to "JoeyDay".)<div style="text-indent:1.5em">Remember that not everybody stays at their computer every minute of every day, so sometimes patience is required when waiting for a response. And it's an unfortunate fact that many of the users go unnoticed who do a lot of little but important things. It's like an umpire in baseball, who nobody pays any attention to when everything is going fine, but people rant and shout when a call is blown.</div><div style="text-indent:1.5em">A couple of pointers: whenever you're describing your edits, try to avoid emotionally charged words like "useless", etc. It's sufficient just to say "reverted such-and-such to version by so-and-so". Even better, try to find the good parts of an edit see if you can reword them so they fit into the article. (See [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=lunch_special&curid=1117&diff=108570&oldid=108569&rcid=55453 this edit] for an example.)</div><div style="text-indent:1.5em">To sum up, keep up the good work learning, gaining experience, and making quality contributions.</div><div>Sincerely,<br />[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:20, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)</div>

== STUFF query ==
Hey It's dot com, I just noticed that one of bottom 10's [[Template:STUFF/bottom_10|STUFF entries]] is not ever going to succeed due to the author's mistake. (The Knott's Berry Farm one) It is not true, and will not get a single acceptance vote. I just thought it might be best to close that one now and save everybody time. On that note, I have also noticed that you are the only one who ever closes STUFFed facts, and was wondering if you wanted a hand with that. I am willing to help you out if you want me to. <br>Forever Young, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:To tell the truth, I don't mind doing it at all; it's fun. But others are of course welcome to do it (this is a wiki, after all); and certainly you should at least know ''how''. (It's not difficult, but it ''is'' involved. The instructions are [[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|here]].) I dunno, like I've said to BazookaJoe, since I made up the format, I feel responsible for making sure all the gears mesh and turn like they're supposed to. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:49, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Hey, It's dot com. Just letting you know that you don't have to add to WikiTroll if the user has already been blocked. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:27, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I started adding him, and then I got called away from my computer, and by the time I got back you had already blocked him. I ''did'' notice this, but since it's such a hassle to add somebody to the table (what with making a list of all their evil edits and whatnot) and since I had already gone to the trouble, I just hit "Save page" anyway. Plus, I figured if he did it again, there would already be a record there. (And yes, I know there's the blocked log.) So that's why. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Accused deletion of sbemail redirects==
Hello. Thanks for letting me know about the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Strong_Bad_Email#Redirects discussion] regarding deleted redirects of the first two Strong Bad Emails. I was previously unaware of the accusations by Jay against me. By the way, may I call you IDC? It's an acronym of your username if you wouldn't mind me referring you by it. Thanks again. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 18:45, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think he was accusing you, just perhaps mistaken. I alerted you to the discussion because I figured it pertained to you and therefore you could tell us why you thought it was better not to have the redirects. But if it wasn't you, then, obviously, you can't. Ah, well. I think the redirects are going to go forward (if E.L. Cool or others are still up to it). As for a short form of my user name, when people ask what it is, I say: it's [[User:It's dot com|Dot com]]. 19:26, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Where to link characters ==
I had a question. On the page for [[monster truck]], should "The Sad kids" and "The King of town" in the transcript be changed to include links to thier respective pages? FYI, the sentence that would be changed is "{The Sad Kids and the King of Town appear on screen respectively crossed out}". —[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]]

:No. Characters are never linked in the transcript. Instead, they are listed at the top of the page in the order in which they appear. Also, whenever you post something on a talk page, type four tildes after it, like this: "<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>". That will automatically sign your name and put a timestamp after it. It looks like this: — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Baseball fan!==

Hey Dot com! Are you a baseball fan?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:I should probably add this to my user page sooner or later, but I'm a ''huge'' fan of baseball, and Major League Baseball in particular, and more specifically the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. I've got my trusty Rangers ballcap on right now, as always. I've been to several games this year and plan on more. I don't live in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, otherwise I would have season tickets at Ameriquest Field. I make up for it by keeping track of the team on TV, radio, and at mlb.com using Gameday, Gameday Audio, and MLB.TV. I mainly follow the AL (my second-favorite club is the Yankees), but I do like some NL teams: the Nationals, the Astros, the Mets, and (sorry) the Cubs, to name a few. Tonight, as it turns out, the Rangers topped the Orioles, 4–2, in Baltimore. Yay! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Cool! You're only the second user I've heard of that is a baseball fan (other than me, there are two I've heard of). If you're not a ''huge'' cub fan then you won't bother me--and if you're not drunk, I'll be fine.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:Not a huge Cub fan, but I do pull for them as the perennial underdogs, especially now that the Red Sox have won it all. Even being a Yankee fan, when Boston was able to overcome a 3–0 deficit, when in Game 4 all Rivera had to do was put out the side in the ninth... well, at that point I was pleased to see the BoSox finally rid themselves of that blasted curse! (I can't remember, who was it they beat in the World Series? ;) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:24, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. I know, the Cardinals lost. I went to game four of the World Series, I was sad *sniffle*. I remember there were lots of Red Sox fans around us. One guy was talking to his wife on the phone the whole time. When the Sox won, my dad asked this red sox fan next to us, "What will you do now? This is your whole Idenity." And the red sox fan said back, " What year is it 86 years from now?"
But the cubs haven't won the series since 1908!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

== Wait wait wait ==

Okay, it's one thing to say that Anonnies can't VOTE in STUFF facts. It's another entirely to say that they can't CREATE facts; I'd taken it for granted that they could. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:The rules state: "You may only edit arguments while logged in." I would think that extends to creating items. If a user cares enough about an item, he can log in to create it. If an item truly is important, a logged-in user has probably already made it anyway. As for this particular item, it was such a stretch that it would have been deleted outright from the page. If you truly feel, however, that it needs to go through the process, resubmit it anew (but I've got a thousand dollars I would bet as to how the verdict will end up). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:26, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Well, I don't disagree that it was a waste of space. I was more thinking about future reference—if someone actually adds a fact worth STUFFing. I suppose the only safeguards we had specified for unlogged users were votes and editing pre-existing arguments (it doesn't specifically say that unlogged users can't add facts or arguments) so I wanted clarification. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:44, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::I'll admit, I threw it out on a technicality. A technicality I would probably overlook if it had ''any'' merit at all.

:::: Fair enough. For example, I completely deleted a false "Fact" yesterday (regarding The Cheat's bendable arms never appearing before outside of Cheat Commandos, in spite of the fact that they'd been seen in [[caper]] and [[virus]]), so imagine my surprise today to find that it had been re-added (albeit prematurely Verdicted).

==How to add images==
Here's a quick rundown of how to add images:
#If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image use policy]]. Note that the PNG format is preferred.
#Over in the toolbox on the left, click [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].
#(A) Browse to the file on your computer.<br>(B) Write a brief description in the summary area.<br>(C) Click the copyright checkbox.<br>(D) Click "Upload file".
#Place code on your page in the following format, usually at the very top of the page (although you can place it in other places):<br><code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb and/or POSITION|SIZE|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code>

To make an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery|image gallery]], use the wollowing format:
:<code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki>
:Image:image1.png|caption 1
:Image:image2.png|caption 2
:Image:image3.png|caption 3
:<nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>
Start each picture on a new line. You can use links and full wiki markup in the captions.

Click on these links here for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|tutorial]] and more [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Images and other uploaded files|technical info]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax|syntax info]]. HRWiki policy allows [[HRWiki:User_page#What can_I_have_on_my_user_page?|one uploaded image]] per user with no questions asked. For an example, I placed the following code at the top of your page: <code><nowiki>[[Image:cheatgold.PNG|thumb|300px|I've got a gold tooth. Wanna see it? Tough!]]</nowiki></code><br>That's all. Have fun! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To completely revert a page to a previous version:'''
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#Type a comment in the summary, usually something like "reverted edit by so-and-so; restored last version by what's her face".
#Click "Save page".</div>

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To revert a page and keep some changes at the same time:'''
#Use the page history to determine what changes have been made since the version to which you want to revert.
#Copy the affected section to the clipboard. If there is more than one section, it may be necessary to do a normal revert (see above) and then make the changes again one at a time in later edits.
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#From the clipboard, paste in the new changes over the appropriate old section.
#Type a comment in the summary.
#Click "Show preview" to ensure that you pasted the new changes in correctly.
#Click "Save page".</div>

Okay, I for the instructions, I have this:

:''{Tom's code moved here: [[User:It's dot com/instructions code]]}''

You need to fix up Section II, since I have no idea what's going on there. (And quite possibily sections I and III as well.) You also might want to check out some of the bulleted points in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion#Things_to_consider|things to consider]] section for when you write up the instructions.

I would be glad to help you out Dot Com. I'm bored and I'm really digging what you are doing here. Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

:On an aside note, when the time comes will you need help turning all of the current STUFF'd facts to your format? If so lemmie know and I can help you out. When do you think the big change might occur? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

::I'm shooting for the middle of this week. Maybe there won't be a new toon this week. That would help. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you're about ready to make this happen. I would also be willing to help you and Tony with the big change, if you so desire. You know, taking what's currently in STUFF and putting it on the new page. There's a lot of them there. Just let me know. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 03:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I welcome any help I can get. I don't know the best way to go about it. I figure we'll have to temporarily close the STUFF page so that people aren't trying to edit it while we're converting it. Also, I want to open the format up for others to test. I'm trying to get that done tonight. I think the format is really easy to use, but I ''made'' it, so there could be problems I'm not seeing. I'll leave you a note on your talk page when I have more to report, which shouldn't be too long from now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: In case you didn't notice, I've discovered what is causing the problem in STUFF. Not external links in and of themselves (notice that "The Legend of Credits" has an external link.) It's the fact that there was an equal sign in one of the links. Try plugging a random equal sign into any fact (link or no) and see what happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you're looking for a response as to the new STUFF's simplicity, I would say it is pretty easy if you follow the directions. I do have a suggestion, though. For the how to revise page you have the entire template out for cutting and pasting, but the initial template setup has the optional things on parts of it. It might make it easier to take the optional notes and the false user votes off of that template so it's easy to cut and paste the entire thing. That's what I think anyway. Other than that, I think the new system is great. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 19:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I went ahead an implemented everything, including Protecting all the templates and DELETING!! all the test pages I could think of. If there are others I missed, feel free to TBD them. I ended up erasing a lot of old Verdicted facts on the old STUFF page - dig through the history if you really feel you need them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==New STUFF Verdicts==

The new STUFF looks prooty good! One little quibble: it appears that the original posting dates were not included when the open STUFFs were ported. My real question is: how should a VERDICT'D STUFF look? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: The date thing was my fault. Anyway, I guess that a VERDICT should be another template or two, and should be put in place of the arguments and votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: I fixed the dates. For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>

::: Ha ha, it feels like that sometimes.

Also, in all seriousness, I appreciate your willingness to welcome new users. I think your ♥ is in the right place there.

Perhaps change "me" to "JoeyDay".)<div style="text-indent:1.5em">Remember that not everybody stays at their computer every minute of every day, so sometimes patience is required when waiting for a response.

Hey It's dot com, I just noticed that one of bottom 10's [[Template:STUFF/bottom_10|STUFF entries]] is not ever going to succeed due to the author's mistake. (The Knott's Berry Farm one) It is not true, and will not get a single acceptance vote. I just thought it might be best to close that one now and save everybody time. On that note, I have also noticed that you are the only one who ever closes STUFFed facts, and was wondering if you wanted a hand with that. I am willing to help you out if you want me to. <br>Forever Young, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:To tell the truth, I don't mind doing it at all; it's fun. But others are of course welcome to do it (this is a wiki, after all); and certainly you should at least know ''how''. (It's not difficult, but it ''is'' involved. The instructions are [[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|here]].)

:Well, I started adding him, and then I got called away from my computer, and by the time I got back you had already blocked him.

==Accused deletion of sbemail redirects==
Hello. Thanks for letting me know about the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Strong_Bad_Email#Redirects discussion] regarding deleted redirects of the first two Strong Bad Emails. I was previously unaware of the accusations by Jay against me. By the way, may I call you IDC? It's an acronym of your username if you wouldn't mind me referring you by it. Thanks again. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 18:45, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think he was accusing you, just perhaps mistaken. I alerted you to the discussion because I figured it pertained to you and therefore you could tell us why you thought it was better not to have the redirects. But if it wasn't you, then, obviously, you can't. Ah, well. I think the redirects are going to go forward (if E.L. Cool or others are still up to it).

== Where to link characters ==
I had a question. On the page for [[monster truck]], should "The Sad kids" and "The King of town" in the transcript be changed to include links to thier respective pages? FYI, the sentence that would be changed is "{The Sad Kids and the King of Town appear on screen respectively crossed out}". —[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]]

:No. Characters are never linked in the transcript. Instead, they are listed at the top of the page in the order in which they appear. Also, whenever you post something on a talk page, type four tildes after it, like this: "<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>". That will automatically sign your name and put a timestamp after it. It looks like this: — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Hey Dot com! Are you a baseball fan?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:I should probably add this to my user page sooner or later, but I'm a ''huge'' fan of baseball, and Major League Baseball in particular, and more specifically the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. I've got my trusty Rangers ballcap on right now, as always. I've been to several games this year and plan on more. I don't live in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, otherwise I would have season tickets at Ameriquest Field. I make up for it by keeping track of the team on TV, radio, and at mlb.com using Gameday, Gameday Audio, and MLB.TV. I mainly follow the AL (my second-favorite club is the Yankees), but I do like some NL teams: the Nationals, the Astros, the Mets, and (sorry) the Cubs, to name a few. Tonight, as it turns out, the Rangers topped the Orioles, 4–2, in Baltimore. Yay! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Cool! You're only the second user I've heard of that is a baseball fan (other than me, there are two I've heard of). If you're not a ''huge'' cub fan then you won't bother me--and if you're not drunk, I'll be fine.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:Not a huge Cub fan, but I do pull for them as the perennial underdogs, especially now that the Red Sox have won it all. Even being a Yankee fan, when Boston was able to overcome a 3–0 deficit, when in Game 4 all Rivera had to do was put out the side in the ninth... well, at that point I was pleased to see the BoSox finally rid themselves of that blasted curse! (I can't remember, who was it they beat in the World Series? ;) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:24, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. I know, the Cardinals lost. I went to game four of the World Series, I was sad *sniffle*. I remember there were lots of Red Sox fans around us. One guy was talking to his wife on the phone the whole time. When the Sox won, my dad asked this red sox fan next to us, "What will you do now? This is your whole Idenity." And the red sox fan said back, " What year is it 86 years from now?"
But the cubs haven't won the series since 1908!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

== Wait wait wait ==

Okay, it's one thing to say that Anonnies can't VOTE in STUFF facts. It's another entirely to say that they can't CREATE facts; I'd taken it for granted that they could. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:The rules state: "You may only edit arguments while logged in." I would think that extends to creating items. If a user cares enough about an item, he can log in to create it. If an item truly is important, a logged-in user has probably already made it anyway. As for this particular item, it was such a stretch that it would have been deleted outright from the page. If you truly feel, however, that it needs to go through the process, resubmit it anew (but I've got a thousand dollars I would bet as to how the verdict will end up). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:26, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
