Suicune64: Minor change

Dane here. I've been a fan of the site for three years, after first having found the site in a link on IGN's Metroid Board, when a user said he couldn't beat 'Craig' in about February. The problem was that the boss was actually a three-eyed, spiked lizard called Kraid. Of course, people started commenting that Kraid wasn't exactly a fierce name. Someone, as you would guess, responded, "Yeah, now a name like Trogdor the Burninator, that's majesty!" With that, they posted a link. I clicked it, and was entertained by Strong Bad's two attempts to draw a dragon. After deleting "sbemail58.html" from the URL, I started exploring the whole site, and so it began.

Mainly an assortment of typo fixes, rephrasings and the like, truth be told.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There comes a time, when you read a certain email. ''{reads email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
What is your opinion of the effects 
of in video games on children? Are 
video games harmful to the 
development of the human brain? 
 
sincerely, 
Wilbur, Seattle, WA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "WA" as a high note (pronounced "wa")}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, Wilbur. Sounds an awful lot like a little video game programming version of The Cheat.

''{A balding creature with a human head, long hair, glasses, a beard, and a The Cheat body appears on the screen momentarily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Wilbur. Video games actually teach you all kindsa new stuff. Think of all the words we've learned from video games. ''{clears screen}'' There's "strafe." Who ever used strafe before they started putting it in video games? They used to just say, "walk sideways and shoot." Then there's "toggle." Y'know, you gotta toggle between the missiles and the lasers. ''{clears screen}'' And who could forget "melee." Which I can only assume means, "a buncha peoples fighting, like, all at the same time." Plus, most video games provide a veritable what-not-to-do of spelling and grammar. ''{stops typing}'' Just give a kid a video game instruction booklet

''{The cover of the instruction manual for "Strong Sad's Strafing/Toggling Challenge!!" appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing}'' and play "Find the complete sentence." That's plenty educational!

''{The manual turns to Page One, which reads as follows:}''

<pre>
Play for best!!
- top score wins choice
- d+pad UP for combo
- remember alert!
Always to stop scoring. Challenge again!
</pre>

''{The manual disappears, and Strong Bad resumes responding.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And who doesn't remember staying up all night to beat an end boss only to be rewarded with a hearty ''{typed in big, bold, golden letters}'' CONGRATURATION! ''{resumes typing normally}'' They didn't even bother giving you multiple ones. Just a single congraturation they had lying around the video game make place.

''{Cut to an office setting. A balding creature with short hair, glasses, and a moustache and a The Cheat body is standing by a computer, while Wilbur is standing near a box of "congraturations!", which look like muffins. A Broderbund Software and Jumpman poster are in the background. Text in the corner reads, "AT THE VIDEO GAME MAKE PLACE"}''

'''BALD GUY:''' Hey man, you gonna eat that last Congraturation?

'''WILBUR:''' Naw, man. We're puttin' it in the game if you beat the end boss.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{angrily}'' Freakin' stupid cheap waste of my time! They're being jerks!

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

==Easter Eggs==
*If you use the Angle button to change the angle, then when Strong Bad talks about the word "melee", you'll see a computer screen filled with sprites of all the characters attacking each other at [[The Stick]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*The font on the instruction manual for "Challenge!!" is the same as the font used for [[monster truck|Awexome Cross]].
*On the DVD, the title screen is for the [[Tandy 400]], but the email is done with the Compy 386.
*The computer in the Videro Game Make Place is a Compy 386.
*The title of this email is a mention of [[Glossary#V|Videro]].

===Real-World References===
*The controller Strong Sad is holding in the instruction manual is very similar to the original NES controller.
*Brøderbund Software is a now-defunct game development house, best known for its games ''Lode Runner'', ''Reader Rabbit'' and the ''Carmen Sandiego'' series. The [http://www.broderbund.com/ company itself] is still around, but has all but ceased production of games.
*Jumpman was a classic computer game from Epyx. The poster pictured in the background is the box art from one of its many versions.
*The title of this email and the misuse of English throughout is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Engrish|poor Japanese/English translations]] often found in old video games.
**It should also be noted that the title [[video games]] had already been used for another Strong Bad Email and therefore a slight variation had to be given to this one.
*Strong Bad's intro song is based on USA For Africa's "We Are The World".
*"Congraturation" is from the end screen of the Nintendo game "Ghosts N' Goblins". Generally regarded as one of the most difficult video games of all time, its disappointing ending can be viewed [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/ghosts.htm here]. The ending of [[Thy Dungeonman]] makes reference to this as well.
*Strong Bad says "Ohh, Wilbur" like the title horse in the 60s TV series [[Wikipedia:Mister Ed|Mister Ed]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''SINGER:''' Dentist!

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

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

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

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''TARANCHULA:''' It was a death nail! (Death nail!)

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

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

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

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

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Scandinavia|Scandinavia]] is a group of countries in northern Europe. It consists of the countries Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, and is sometimes also said to include Finland and Iceland, especially when the term is used in English. Many successful Death and Black Metal bands originate in Scandinavia, and the genres are arguably the most popular there. Examples of famous Death & Black Metal bands include Emperor, Mayhem, Celtic Frost, Decapitated, and Dimmu Borgir. 
*[[Wikipedia:Sepulveda Boulevard|Sepulveda Boulevard]] is a major street in [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]].
*[[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPG]] stands for "'''M'''assively '''M'''ultiplayer '''O'''nline '''R'''ole-'''P'''laying '''G'''ame". Many MMORPGs include the guild system or the option to join a team, most prominently [[Wikipedia:Everquest|Everquest]] and [[Wikipedia:World of Warcraft|World of Warcraft]]. Other titles include [[Wiki:Guild Wars|Guild Wars]] and [[Wikipedia:Dark Age of Camelot|Dark Age of Camelot]].
*[[Wikipedia:Decoupage|Decoupage]] is a craft art that involves decorating objects by gluing cut-out pictures onto them and, sometimes, painting them, then sealing the decoration under varnish.
*A [[Wikipedia:Deltoid muscle|deltoid]] is a thick triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint, used to raise the arm from the side.
*To [[Wikipedia:Denatured alcohol|denature]] is most commonly to render unfit to eat or drink without destroying usefulness in other applications, especially to add methanol to ethyl alcohol.

===Trivia===
*When this email first came out, there was no "back" button at the end. This was fixed in a matter of minutes.
*This is one of the few e-mails to end without [[The Paper|The Paper]].

*The AOL Instant Messenger Screenname "ladeezluvlarry71" does exist. The profile information is the same lyrics he sang to Strong Bad in the email. His away message is his comment about MMORPGs from the email.
*The death metal worksheet is rendered exclusively in purple ink, suggesting it was produced by a [[Wikipedia:Spirit_duplicator|spirit duplicator]]; this device, commonly called a "ditto machine," was in widespread use in public schools prior to the introduction of photocopiers. The worksheet features two hands on either side doing the "evil fingers" and reads:
Death Metal Worksheet

Which words would NOT
be good death metal lyrics?

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

===Remarks===
*One of the members of Taranchula is wearing the exact same pink shirt that [[Matt Chapman]] wears in the [[:Image:Videlectrix developers.jpg|promo photo]] for [[Videlectrix]].
*Strong Bad uses a similar email greeting when he says "Ding dong dear Strong Bad" in [[japanese cartoon]].
*The space between "strong" and "bad" in Strong Bad's name is omitted on the end worksheet.
*Larry Palaroncini's lyric "Driving ... with the t-top down?" makes no sense, as a T-top cannot be lowered, but rather opened by removing two panels from the top of the car.



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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! ''{presses enter}'' ''{singing}'' Doo doo doo Dear, Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering—''{stops singing}'' I can't keep this up.

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: portrait</div>
Dear Strong Bad- 
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
paint a portrait of  your greatness. 
guess what, it's- 
Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.) I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad holding a toy with a duck's head on the end.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top and paints a robotank with spraypaint and a stencil, along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' Thanks little buddy; now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes noises like Strong Bad is welcome}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a rich-guy newspaper. An image of Strong Bad holding a cell phone is on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines... Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse Code. ''{imitates speaking as though in Morse Code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I-I a-am h-hold-i-ing a-a r-re-eal-ly o-old c-cell ph-phone.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased—

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for—Whoa!—

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a poster of a unicorn. Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee.

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a wooden cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man has "SB" written on his stomach and is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from, and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical key-sword-tar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

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

* [[Wikipedia:Falconry|Falconry]] is the art or sport of training raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game.

===Trivia===
* This email was released late Sunday night Atlanta time, but the website claimed that its release date was on Monday.
* The card next to the first portrait reads:

* The picture's captions read "Sell phones or ''Cell'' phones?" above and "''Strong Bad''" below. A lower headline reads "Banks have "money"".
* The left side of the newspaper reads:
<blockquote style="font-family:Times,serif;border:2px solid black;background:#ffffff;color:#000;width:150px">

===Remarks===
*Homestar's [[SAAB Lighter|lighter]] in the key-sword-tar Easter egg is a [[Wikipedia:Saab|Saab]] lighter, as opposed to Strong Bad's [[BMW Lighter|BMW one]].
*The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Wikipedia:Leet|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
*Strong Bad mentions a [[Wikipedia:whammy bar|whammy bar]], or tremelo arm, while playing his key-sword-tar (a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Keytar|Keytar]]). However, only actual guitars have these.
*Because of the umlaut over the A, "Mästers" should be pronounced "May-sters"

===Goofs===
*The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
*In the Easter Egg, when Strong Bad is moving the cardboard cutout of the key-sword-tar around, the picture reverses direction.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's line "Thanks for breaking my moose lamp" is a reference to [[caper]], where he thanked Strong Bad and The Cheat for breaking his [[Cow Lamp|cow lamp]].
*A Strong Badman comic appeared in connection with a "Deutschman" in [[haircut]].
*The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The gnawing pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
*Strong Bad has a blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
*The School Paste in Strong Mad's room was first seen in Strong Sad's room in the Email [[depressio]].
*The tune that Strong Bad uses to sing the opening lines of the e-mail is the same as the tune to the "Pardon Our Problems" sign at the end of [[Fall Float Parade]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] is a kind of soup.
*The Rad Rad Robotank is likely a double-reference to [[Wikipedia:Transformers Universes|Transformers]] (the head is that of [[Wikipedia:Optimus Prime|Optimus Prime]]), and to the [[Wikipedia:Newgrounds|Newgrounds.com logo]] (the overall pose is very similar).
**The fact that it appears as a stencil is possibly a jab at Newgrounds' tendency to encourage people to place their [http://www.newgrounds.com/stickers/ promotional stickers] everywhere.
*[[Wikipedia:Chef Boyardee|Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
*The black and white portrait of Strong Bad bears a strong resemblence to ones found in ''[[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]]'', which is probably the "rich-guy newspaper" he was referring to.
*[[Wikipedia:Lamaze|Lamaze]] is a relaxation technique designed to avoid the use of pain-killing drugs during childbirth.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm intrigued by these...how you say...emails.

''{He pulls up the email and reads it aloud:}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hi strong bad! 
I wanted to know what your craziest 
cartoon would be like. Please make a 
CRAZY cartoon. 
 
Your awesome friend monkeydude</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, I'm not your friend, monkey dude. In fact, I'm not even gonna call you monkeydude ''{he types "******" instead of "monkeydude"}'' again. I'ma call you Josh. ''{pause}'' So, a kah-razy cartoon huh, Josh? Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like...

''{Cut to a weird cartoon landscape, where a cartoon logo appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sweet Cuppin' Cakes! The main character would look like a mix between a cow and a helicopter.

''{Sherlock flies in accompanied by helicopter noise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And his talking would be just these weird sounds, and no words.

''{Sherlock makes incoherent mumbling sounds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And all the episodes would be about him trying to get a little worm out of the ground.

''{A hole in the ground opens up and a worm peeks out. Sherlock lands on top of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! Oh! And at least once an episode, Eh! Steve would show up to deliver his catchphrase!

''{Eh! Steve drops down from the top of the screen}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And Bubs would definitely be the voice of the wheelchair.

''{Eh! Steve runs off and a badly drawn wheelchair pulls up}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' I'll get you Eh! Steve, if it's the last thing I dooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd be in there too, but my head would be an old keyboard, and when I get mad, it'd play the demo.

''{Strong Bad with a keyboard head starts dancing around while the demo plays. Sherlock starts dancing along, and Eh! Steve runs past, being pursued by the wheelchair. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's a pretty crazy cartoon huh, Josh? But I'm not much of an animator. Though I bet The Cheat makes some crazy cartoons. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Just right.

=== Powered by The Cheat ===

''{Cut to The Cheat on Tangerine Dreams working on an animation. Strong Bad comes up to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, my man? What're you workin' on today?

''{The Cheat makes noises, then starts up the animation. It is of very poor quality, in typical The Cheat style. "POWEREd by THE CHEAT" flashes on the screen. Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner out at the field.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad! I need to be kicked in the face.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can do it! I will do it nine times.

''{Strong Bad jumps up in the air and kicks Homestar in the face nine times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the last—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut it up! Shut it up, you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shut it up, me.

''{The Cheat runs on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here, The Cheat, have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad tosses him a trophy, and The Cheat squeaks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here, The Cheat, have another trophy!

''{A trophy falls out of Homestar's mouth and The Cheat catches it. Strong Bad kicks Homestar in the face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was saving that one for about two seconds ago.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Perfect. Timing.

''{A purple Coach Z drops down from the sky, trophy in hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Here, The Chort, have a trophy!

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Three trophies for The Cheat! 
'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Three trophies for The Chort!

''{Eh! Steve shows up}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

''{the cartoon pans out to a badly drawn cartoon of Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the toon}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is the greatest cartoon in the whole world! Have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad gives The Cheat a trophy and The Cheat squeaks. Zoom out again to the ''actual'' Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I didn't do that! Did I? ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' I mean, it was good. I liked the way you worked in Eh! Steve!, but I don't think it deserved a trophy. I don't even think it deserved a pizza! Maybe a pizza trophy.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. In the toon version, it says "The End"; in the email version it has the usual "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad", written in badly-formed letters.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can click on Eh! Steve on The Cheat's screen to see him again.
:''{Eh! Steve drops in and stands in front of the scene.}''
:'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!
:''{Eh! Steve jumps upwards and leaves the scene.}''
*Also at the end you can click on The Cheat's CD-ROM drive to get some Sweet Cuppin' Cakes [[HR:sccicons.html|buddy icons]] (email version only).

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*The [[Powered by The Cheat]] portion of this email is shown by itself in the Powered by The Cheat section of the Toons menu.
*It is a running gag that in almost every Powered by The Cheat toon Strong Bad's leg gets long and kicks Homestar.
*The Cheat apparently likes the color purple. He accidentally makes Coach Z purple and later gives Strong Bad purple boxing gloves in [[New Boots]].
*This is the first appearance of the main cast of [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].

=== Inside References ===
*The noise made as Eh! Steve jumps off-screen is the same noise made in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] when Strong Mad throws Homestar out of the ring.
*Strong Bad saying that The Cheat's cartoon "didn't even deserve a pizza" is a reference to [[Everybody to the Limit]], where Strong Bad (impressed with The Cheat's cartoon) said he'd buy him a pizza.

===Fast Foward===
The phrase "I can do it, I can do it 9 times" is used again in the email [[virus]].

===Real-World References===
*The demo that is played by Keyboard Strong Bad is the actual demo from a [http://www.synthmuseum.com/casio/casvltone01.html Casio VL-Tone keyboard]. The tune is known as "Unterlanders Heimweh" (which means "Homesickness of the Lowlander" in German), and for many years, was the only song used in Casio keyboard one-button-select demos.
**This song would later be the inspiration for the "Cheat Cakes" song in the Easter egg for [[stupid stuff]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Flash|Macromedia Flash]] interface is shown here when The Cheat is working on his cartoon.
*The idea of Sherlock spending all of his time trying to catch a worm might be a throwback to the [[Wikipedia:U.S. Acres|"U.S. Acres"]] segment of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Garfield and Friends|''Garfield and Friends'']]. In it, one of the running gags involved Booker the chick trying to catch a worm that always seemed to be smarter than he was.

== DVD Version ==
*The buddy icons Easter egg is disabled for obvious reasons.
*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]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Hi, I'm Mike.

'''MATT:''' Hi, my name's Matt C.

'''MIKE:''' We're gonna make the commentary on this Strong Bad e-mail... ''{pause}'' Is, uh... I don't know what I'm talking about.

'''MATT:''' Monkeydude, uh, you're thinking of Monkey D.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, okay, Monkey D came from, was those post—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' It was first—

'''MIKE:''' cards, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was from the postcards and those just, we just made it up.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' And then, this guy's name is Monkey''dude'', which could also be construed as Monkey D. See?

'''MIKE:''' 'S true.

'''MATT:''' So, what else? There was—we had some other names, I remember, there was Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, and there was like some kinda Grandma—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think it was Grandma, Grandma's Soup or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That guy's name is Sherlock.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckling}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cow-copter, his real name is Sherlock, but it's never been revealed other than the files on our computer saved as "Sherlock".

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And, of course, Eh! Steve came from a doodle on a, during—we were having a meeting, and I doodled him on a paper—

'''MIKE:''' And the wheelchair, Matt just, like, as a joke, just drew this wheelchair real fast and was like, ''{false excited}'' "Mike, I got the wheelchair done." And I was like, ''{false serious}'' I was all like, "We should keep it just like that."

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And of course, that's the Casio VL tone, which, um, we have right here.

'''MIKE:''' Where is it? It's right there, we're holding it in our hands, but you probably can't—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Listen, Mitch, could you—There's no batteries in it, so but this is—

''{sound of fingers across the plastic keys}''

'''MIKE:''' This is what it sounds like when you hit it against Matt's head.

''{four light taps}''

'''MATT:''' You hear that? That's the—That's it, I swear. Um...

'''MIKE:''' And here's my chance to, uh, shine here in a second.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike does—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' As—As I voice The Cheat's bad cartoons.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Here I go. ''{over PbTC Homestar}'' That's me. ''{mumbled, then synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' I can do it! I will do it nine times. ''{mimics sound of PbTC Strong Bad kicking PbTC Homestar in the face three times}''

'''MATT:''' Now Mike, what if ''I'' sat here and just did my voice during my voice—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hey, this is my ''one'' thing! I just wanna double—I gonna, ghe, double my own voices. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' Here The Cheat, have a trophy. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Homestar}'' Here The Cheat, have another trophy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are you really just gonna do that throughout?

'''MIKE:''' Well... I like the pink Coach Z, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the pink Coach Z is great, those clouds are, um, are awesome...

''{pause}''

''{both snicker at PbTC Eh! Steve}''

'''MIKE:''' But the best part is, uh, coming up here. ''{short pause}'' Wait...

'''MATT:''' What are you talking about?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no, it's the [[mile]] one, with the parade...?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I was thinkin—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' We'll do that one later.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Can I still talk about the parade?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I like the Poopsmith cleaning up there at the end of the parade.

'''MATT:''' ''{hurried stuttering}'' wel—no—I—bu—

Suicune64: /* Fun Facts */ Minor phrasing tweaks

[[Image:main19.png|220px|thumb|Your name again is... Toons?]]

It's [[The Show]]! [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] ad-libs to his usual sayings.

'''Characters (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}

'''Date:''' December 12, 2003

'''Icon:''' Microphone

'''Page title:''' "The Show!!"

==Button Effects==
*'''Toons''' — [[Ab-Abber 2000|The Ab-Abber 2000]] from the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[suntan]] appears behind Homestar. "Contestant number 1, your name again is—" (he looks at the cue card and squints oddly) "Toons?"
*'''Games''' — A poster saying "A Trip to Hawaii!" appears. "Now, time for our lightning round. We call it Games."
*'''Characters''' — A chair with a sign that says "$??" appears. "So Characters, you were in a movie recently." (leans toward the 'camera') "Tell us about that."
*'''Downloads''' — A golden statue of [[The Cheat]] appears. "My next guest is an extremely talented webpage. Please welcome Downloads!" [[Pom Pom]] bounces past wearing a name tag that says "downloads".
*'''Store''' — "But if you guess correctly, you'll win... a new store!" The background lifts, revealing the [[Gremlin]].
*'''E-mail''' — The [[Blender]] appears, and a buzzer is heard. "No, I'm sorry. The correct answer was 'email'." A "wrong" music clip in the background is heard.

== Fun Facts ==

*Homestar's first line resembles a line in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. Homestar, about to judge Strong Sad's pumpkin, says, "Okay, contestant number one. Your name is... Strong Sad?"
*The Gremlin originally appeared in [[Homestarloween Party]], a supercharged version of the real car, thought up by [[Bubs]].
*The thin microphone and "wrong" music clip, the background lifting to reveal a new car, and the "trip to Hawaii" board are all styled from the game show [[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]].
*The buzzer noise is the [[DELETED]] noise.
*The music played for Games is part of the original [[Wikipedia:Match Game|Match Game]] theme.
*The music played for Downloads and Store is part of the original [[Wikipedia:Family Feud|Family Feud]] theme.
*This is the only Main Page in which Homestar does not blink when you're not mousing over anything. However, he does blink a little when you mouse-over Downloads.
*This is the only Main Page in which the sounds produced by dragging your mouse over the buttons can't overlap each other.
*This is the only Main Page in which Homestar speaks in his current, deeper voice.

Suicune64: /* A suggestion in light of circumstances */ Forgot to specify exactly what I was talking about at the end, there...

== Site notice template ==
I created a template for the Monday scheduled chat site notice, [[:Template:scheduledchat]]:

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.5em; margin: 10px; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; background: #fff;">{{scheduledchat}}</div>

Any thoughts on how it is worded? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 00:19, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:I like it! That looks pretty cool. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Time? ==
Does everyone agree Monday would be the best day of the week? I'm thinking of widening the time out to an hour earlier and an hour later (i.e. 2-6pm Pacific, etc). How does that sound? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 00:16, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, Monday is probably the best

== Brit and Aussie chats? ==

I don't want to leave our international friends out of the loop here. Do we have enough Brits and Aussies to set up more convenient scheduled chats for them as well? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 04:10, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:I haven't figured out how to word it concisely, but we should note that 5–9 pm ET is 21:00–1:00 UTC during Daylight Time, 22:00–2:00 UTC during standard time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:04, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

::I don't know whether there are many people overseas missing out, but the times scheduled at the moment is 7 AM to 11 AM on a Tuesday for Australian Eastern Standard Time (or 6.30 - 10.30 for Central Standard Time, or 5 AM to 9 AM for Western Standard Time). And daylight savings is plus one hour. I'm think we should just change "GMT" to "UTC", because GMT is one hour ahead of UTC in the summer. I'm going to create a little table with the time in different timezones. [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html And this thing is useful for figuring out times on different timezones]. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

I realize Rainer put a lot of effort into the time zone table, but it's incorrect. It lists the times for New York as 4:00pm–8:00pm, with a note (way down at the bottom) that you should add an hour in the summer. But this is not true—If I read correctly what Joey wrote, then it will ''always'' be 5–9pm ET, regardless of whether the U.S. is currently observing Daylight Saving Time. Therefore, one could say that the schedule is based on ''current continental American time'', not Universal Time (UTC). In other words, the chat is from 21:00 to 1:00 when ''the United States'' is observing Daylight Time, 22:00 to 2:00 when it is not. Americentric, maybe, but true nevertheless. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Perhaps this creates extra work down the road, but we could scrap the notes at the bottom, correct the table for current conditions, and update the table each time daylight savings changes occur. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

::I did away with the coplicated table. (Sorry, Rainer.) In its place there's a link to the World Time Server, which will let users quickly and easily choose their time zone to figure the start time. The link is dynamic, so it should always give accurate information no matter what the time of year (with the small exception already noted on the page). I also simplified which U.S. time zones were listed on the page to just Eastern/Pacific, since it's less cluttered, and I think most people are used to that from TV anyway. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:01, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Thoroughly Confused!!! ==

I'm a Mac-user, and none of these IRC clients have a program for Mac. I'm sickeningly horrible with computers, so I have no clue how to get any of this up and running. Whenever I use the chat without a client, it says it can't connect! Can someone help me out here please? -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 00:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:[[Wikipedia:IRC#Clients]] lists a number of clients for Macintosh. Hope this helps you get connected. We'd love to see you in the channel. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 03:47, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== On the current scheduling ==

While it may not have been much of a problem when we were all out of school, Monday nights are now less optimal than other nights, inasmuch as everyone requires their sleep on that night in preparation for Tuesday. However, I'm not here to state the obvious. My proposition is that we change the formal chat party night to Friday. In addition to the length everyone can stay up, another point still stands: on a Monday, one has to not only get to sleep on time, but do homework. On Friday, one can do homework or save it for the weekend. As such, Friday would probably be a much more ideal night for the parties. I'd hope that I share this belief with others... if you do, share that below, please. Oh, and forgot to note: this is not to say that Monday night parties are not of any sense, they can still be held. I merely am asking that a chat party be held on Friday nights, as well.

== A suggestion in light of circumstances ==

It seems to me as if the chat parties have lost something recently... the sort of comraderie once had in said gatherings is now drowned and diluted by the influx of *ahem* newer persons. This coincides with the beginning of the consistency of the usage of the wiki-wide notice about the chat parties. It helps not that the notice gathers the intention of the newcomers from HR.net, those well-intentioned '''and''' those not so. At present rate, regardless of their origin, it attracts the eye of a many who think it most amusing to simply be annoying idiots. In favour of the notice's removal? Not in favour? If in favour, please say so, and if not in favour, please say why. Thanks, [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 22:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Suicune64: A suggestion in light of circumstances

== Site notice template ==
I created a template for the Monday scheduled chat site notice, [[:Template:scheduledchat]]:

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.5em; margin: 10px; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; background: #fff;">{{scheduledchat}}</div>

Any thoughts on how it is worded? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 00:19, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:I like it! That looks pretty cool. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Time? ==
Does everyone agree Monday would be the best day of the week? I'm thinking of widening the time out to an hour earlier and an hour later (i.e. 2-6pm Pacific, etc). How does that sound? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 00:16, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, Monday is probably the best

== Brit and Aussie chats? ==

I don't want to leave our international friends out of the loop here. Do we have enough Brits and Aussies to set up more convenient scheduled chats for them as well? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 04:10, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:I haven't figured out how to word it concisely, but we should note that 5–9 pm ET is 21:00–1:00 UTC during Daylight Time, 22:00–2:00 UTC during standard time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:04, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

::I don't know whether there are many people overseas missing out, but the times scheduled at the moment is 7 AM to 11 AM on a Tuesday for Australian Eastern Standard Time (or 6.30 - 10.30 for Central Standard Time, or 5 AM to 9 AM for Western Standard Time). And daylight savings is plus one hour. I'm think we should just change "GMT" to "UTC", because GMT is one hour ahead of UTC in the summer. I'm going to create a little table with the time in different timezones. [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html And this thing is useful for figuring out times on different timezones]. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

I realize Rainer put a lot of effort into the time zone table, but it's incorrect. It lists the times for New York as 4:00pm–8:00pm, with a note (way down at the bottom) that you should add an hour in the summer. But this is not true—If I read correctly what Joey wrote, then it will ''always'' be 5–9pm ET, regardless of whether the U.S. is currently observing Daylight Saving Time. Therefore, one could say that the schedule is based on ''current continental American time'', not Universal Time (UTC). In other words, the chat is from 21:00 to 1:00 when ''the United States'' is observing Daylight Time, 22:00 to 2:00 when it is not. Americentric, maybe, but true nevertheless. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Perhaps this creates extra work down the road, but we could scrap the notes at the bottom, correct the table for current conditions, and update the table each time daylight savings changes occur. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

::I did away with the coplicated table. (Sorry, Rainer.) In its place there's a link to the World Time Server, which will let users quickly and easily choose their time zone to figure the start time. The link is dynamic, so it should always give accurate information no matter what the time of year (with the small exception already noted on the page). I also simplified which U.S. time zones were listed on the page to just Eastern/Pacific, since it's less cluttered, and I think most people are used to that from TV anyway. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:01, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Thoroughly Confused!!! ==

I'm a Mac-user, and none of these IRC clients have a program for Mac. I'm sickeningly horrible with computers, so I have no clue how to get any of this up and running. Whenever I use the chat without a client, it says it can't connect! Can someone help me out here please? -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 00:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:[[Wikipedia:IRC#Clients]] lists a number of clients for Macintosh. Hope this helps you get connected. We'd love to see you in the channel. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 03:47, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== On the current scheduling ==

While it may not have been much of a problem when we were all out of school, Monday nights are now less optimal than other nights, inasmuch as everyone requires their sleep on that night in preparation for Tuesday. However, I'm not here to state the obvious. My proposition is that we change the formal chat party night to Friday. In addition to the length everyone can stay up, another point still stands: on a Monday, one has to not only get to sleep on time, but do homework. On Friday, one can do homework or save it for the weekend. As such, Friday would probably be a much more ideal night for the parties. I'd hope that I share this belief with others... if you do, share that below, please. Oh, and forgot to note: this is not to say that Monday night parties are not of any sense, they can still be held. I merely am asking that a chat party be held on Friday nights, as well.

''{A Koopa shell comes out of the Gameboy and strikes So-And-So in the face.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{the word "pØwned!!" appears}'' Puh-owned! Or however you say that...

'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' OK, party people, get ready to give it up for my little girl on her sweet someteenth birthday... and remember, if you're looking for low prices on used and broken electronics, don't forget... Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-Pawn!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Why thank you Sir Hotbod Handsomeface. So are you! ''{Strong Bad and The Ugly One start making out. We cut to Strong Bad at his desk, making out with the paper of The Ugly One. Zoom out to a broader view of the desk, revealing Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat standing next to him, looking bemused.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh...mmm, not bad...oh, twice...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"pØwned" and "p4wned" are variations of the Internet slang, "[[Wikipedia:Pwn|pwned]]."
*The [[Wikipedia: Caber toss|Caber toss]] is a traditional Scottish sport, usually involving a log of specific weight. However, the remark "BAGH! Only 23 metres!" does not apply to the sport, for distance does not matter, but how straight the throw is when it lands on the ground.

===Remarks===
*This cartoon uses a faster animation speed than any of the other ones before due to the 3-D sequence.
*Cheerleader and So And So leave the vowel Y in their words during the vowel-less scene.

===Goofs===
*When you zoom in on the paper with "ARROWED II!" on it near the end, it just says "ARROWED"
*When Strong Bad rewinds the 3-D spin around, the "SO GOOD!" speech bubble disappears.

===Inside References===
* "ARROWED II!" is a reference to "ARROWED!" on [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].

===Real-World References===
*The WB and [[Wikipedia:Nick at Nite|Nick at Nite]] (usually spelled as such) are both references to TV channels, [[Wikipedia:WB Television Network|WB network]] and [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]].
*[[Wikipedia:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] is a character that originated in [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]].
*[[Wikipedia:Bowser|Bowser]] is the main villain in the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario]] series of video games. He is the king of the [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopas]], and a red Koopa shell is what hits So and So.
**Tompkins is playing it on a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]].
*"ARROWED II! Electric..." is a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo|''Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'']], which has become a popular joke about facetious follow-ups to popular films.
**Strong Bad also dressed up as Ozone in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*The "Sweet Someteen" birthday is a reference to Sweet Sixteen, the only "sweet" birthday. The "Someteen" reflects an ongoing effort to keep the girls' exact ages a mystery.
*A [[Wikipedia:lathe|lathe]] is a tool used to create objects with [[wikipedia:rotational symmetry|rotational symmetry]] such as table legs. It works by rotating the subject while a cutting or smoothing tool is applied, evenly removing material around its circumfrance.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"pØwned" and "p4wned" are variations of the Internet slang, "[[Wikipedia:Pwn|pwned]]."
*The [[Wikipedia: Caber toss|Caber toss]] is a traditional Scottish sport, usually involving a log of specific weight. However, the remark "BAGH! Only 23 metres!" does not apply to the sport, for distance does not matter, but how straight the throw is when it lands on the ground.

===Remarks===
*This cartoon uses a faster animation speed than any of the other ones before due to the 3-D sequence.
*This is the first time that 3-D animation was used in a Homestar Runner cartoon on the site.
*Cheerleader and So And So leave the vowel Y in their words during the vowel-less scene.

===Goofs===
*When you zoom in on the paper with "ARROWED II!" on it near the end, it just says "ARROWED"
*When Strong Bad rewinds the 3-D spin around, the "SO GOOD!" speech bubble disappears.

===Inside References===
* "ARROWED II" is a reference to "ARROWED!" on [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Wheeeee! ''{her dialogue spins around in the text bubble}''

''{a title slide entitled "AT THE PARTY" (imprinted on a cigarette, which a man is smoking) appears. We cut to the boy/girl party. Various characters from previous TGS episodes are attending. We pan right to reveal the TGS. What's Her Face is still spinning.}''

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Cheat Commandos headquarters; a title which reads "'MOVIE NIGHT!' written by A. Chimendez Jr." appears. Cut to some Cheat Commandos at [[The Screen]].}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night. Hee hee hoo hoo!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Are you even trying anymore?

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right boys, time for a little R&R. Tonight we've got the old family favorite ''Pony Fights 2''!!!

''{the big screen cuts to the green rating screen. It says "THE FOLLOWING FILM HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR CERTAIN AUDIENCES BY SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT'S BEST. IT BE RATED PG-13 FOR SEVERE CUSSING AND'' VERY ''ILLEGAL PONY FIGHTS.}''

'''EVERYBODY:''' Yay! Yeah!

'''SILENT RIP:''' All right! PG-13!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, I'm afraid lights-out for you is at oh-now hundred hours!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, all that cuss-language might give you nightmares. Ah-ha ha ha.

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can handle it, why I can even swear a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper-biscuits.

'''OTHER COMMANDOS:''' Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can't do anything right. I might as well go home and get teen pregnant.

''{The other commandos gasp, the Blue Las-Alert siren sounds once.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Easy there, Cheat Cuss-mando, you just made an inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior!

'''REYNOLD:''' A whaaa?

''{cut to the black and white Commandos in the Classroom logo, which looks like Reynold in a mortar cap pointing a pointer at an A+}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the Classroom!

''{Cut to another black-and-white slide that reads "LESSON 4: INAPPROPRIATE PEER-2-TEEN CHOICE BEHAVIORS". At the bottom in fine print it reads "*TEACHERS, USE THIS TIME TO CATCH A NAP OR HAVE A SMOKE."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Lesson four: Inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold in Cheat Commandos HQ}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Here, Reynold, lemme show you.

''{Gunhaver points the remote at the screen, which shows two ponies fighting in a field for a moment, then snows out to a diagram of a person's head showing the brain. The other commandos cheer for a second, then groan as the scene changes.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I was watchin' the ponies...

'''GUNHAVER:''' The brain is divided into two halves: ''{The brain in the diagram gets a jagged line down the middle}'' the good half ''{A dotted line points to the left half saying "GOOD HALF"}'' and the evil half. ''{A dotted line points to the right half saying "EVIL HALF.}'' The good half likes positive things, like Self-Esteem, ''{the word "Self-Esteem" appears in the middle of the screen and moves through the mouth into the "good" half of the brain.}'' Oreo Cheesecake, ''{again, the words appear and move through the mouth and up into the brain}'' Bringing Your Old Man a Cold One, ''{again, then cut to a close-up of Gunhaver}'' and all our playsets and toys. ''{Gunhaver smiles a big grin toward the camera. Cut back to the diagram.}'' But the evil half likes ''{as each of the next four words is said, is appears from the "evil" half of the brain and moves to the right side of the screen}'' Littering, Loitering, Latering, Lootering, and all the other stuff that causes inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors! ''{The other words vanish and are replaced by "Inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors".}''

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But how do ''I'' keep from making peer-to-teen choice awards, Gunhaver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' If you find yourself in a sticky ''{makes "finger quotes"}'' teenage situation, just remember these three pro-positive life tools:

''{Cut to Silent Rip in a classroom, next to a Blue Laser minion. Both appear to be taking tests.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' What did you get for number four, sir?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uhhhh...

''{Gunhaver suddenly enters the screen from the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Freeze!'' ''{The screen cuts to a diagram of a male body with "PRO-POSITIVE LIFE TOOL" written next to it, and a giant "#1" appears next to it.}'' Pro-positive life tool number one: ''{Gunhaver appears on the screen}'' say you have one of any debilitating gold rush era diseases! ''{He pulls out a book labeled "BIG BOOK OF DEBILITATING GOLD RUSH ERA DISEASES", and "BBODGRED" on the spine.}''

''{Cut back to the classroom.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Come on, man. I thought we were bros!

'''SILENT RIP:''' I can't! I have the typhoid! Or the cholera!

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Never mind. Your answers are gross, bro.

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold, the latter of whom is now wearing a false beard and a prospector's hat, and is holding a mining pick.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Gold rush era diseases, eh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to the supermarket, where two Blue Laser Minions are holding a lot of bottles labeled "WINE COOLA," some of them in their pants, and Fightgar is standing nearby.}''

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Hey, man. We need you to put these wine coolers down your pants... er, down your headband.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Oh, um, uh...

''{Again, Gunhaver suddenly jumps onto the screen.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''STOP!'' ''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a woman's body. "#2" appears on the side and "EN SAP" at the bottom.}'' Pro-positive life tool numero two: ''{silhouettes of the two Blue Laser minions and Gunhaver appear with question marks over them. The minions are labeled "INAPPROPRIATORS"}'' Envision your Inappropriators ''{Gunhaver is labeled "STILL JUST YOU" and the minions turn into pizza slices.}'' as giant slices of pizza.

''{Cut back to the supermarket.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ah-ha ha ha! You're deep-dish! Ah-ha ha! And you've got extra cheese! Ah-ha ha ha ha! Oh, pepperoni!

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' What's with this guy?

'''SECOND BLUE LASER MINION:''' He sounds crazy. Should we shoot him?

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Abso-total-lutely!

''{The second minion pulls out a large gun and aims it at Fightgar, who looks startled. The scene cuts back to Gunhaver and Reynold, who is now wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, with a ball sitting next to him, and we can hear shooting over the next exchange.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But Gunhaver, I've never had pizza before!

'''GUNHAVER:''' But you know what it looks like, don't you?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{smiling}'' I think so!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to an alley next to a building labeled "Seedy Bar". Firebert walks by in the background, while the Blue Laser Commander is standing next to a building.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Jumping out, holding up a candy bar}'' Hey, kid! Wanna smoke some candy with me?

''{The diagram of the body, which now appears to be a bear, appears over the scene this time. "#3" appears on the right. Firebert and Blue Laser Commander lean back to make room for the diagram}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pro-positive life tool number three: ''{The diagram and "#3" disappear, and Silent Rip appears from the side of the building and throws a smoke bomb.}'' Have your light infantry create a thick smokescreen. ''{The commander starts hacking and coughing, while Firebert pulls out a gun and shoots it at the commander.}'' Then lay down some suppressive fire until the snipers are in position. ''{He stops firing.}'' But look out for surface-to-air antioxidant missiles! ''{Firebert jumps out of the way as three missiles, labelled "100% GREEN TEA" and painted with skulls-and-crossbones, just barely miss the Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then by the time Reinforcements shows up...

''{Reinforcements shows up.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{Cut to a screen with Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ...Your mom ''{an image of a station wagon appears}'' should be waiting for you in the bus turnaround! ''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}'' So, do you think you're ready to make ''{more finger quotes}'' appropriate inappropriate whatever thingies now?

'''REYNOLD:''' Yes sir! I'm gonna get high on life!

''{Silent Rip walks up.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' We're about to start the movie! You guys coming?

'''GUNHAVER:''' What do you think, Reynold?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thinks a moment, then grins}'' I've got dysentery!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Good job, little buddy! ''{pushes Reynold offscreen to stage left, then walks with Silent Rip to stage right}'' Man, I can't wait to see some serious pony carnage!

''{Cut to the Commandos in the Classroom logo again.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the classroom!

''{Cut to an image that reads "NEXT WEEK... LESSON 5: LISTEN YOU GUYS, YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO START SHOWERING EVERYDAY"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Next week, lesson 5: Listen you guys, you seriously need to start showering every day!

''{"THE END" and "BACK" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

[[Image:Commandos in the Classroom.PNG|thumb|Commandos in the Classroom!]]
'''Commandos in the Classroom'''

The [[Cheat Commandos]] teach us about inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behavior.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Gunhaver]], [[Fightgar]], [[Silent Rip]], [[Crackotage]], [[Reynold]], [[Blue Laser minion]], [[Firebert]], [[Blue Laser Commander]], [[Reinforcements]]

'''Places:''' [[Cheat Commandos HQ]], [[Price Style]]

'''Date:''' September 13, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 4:15

'''Page Title:''' Buy all our Teaching Aids and Filmstrips!

== Transcript ==

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night. Hee hee hoo hoo!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Are you even trying anymore?

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right boys, time for a little R and R. Tonight we've got the old family favorite ''Pony Fights 2''!!!

''{the big screen cuts to the green rating screen. It says "THE FOLLOWING FILM HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR CERTIAN AUDIENCES BY SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT'S BEST. IT BE RATED PG-13 FOR SEVERE CUSSING AND'' VERY ''ILLEGAL PONY FIGHTS.}''

'''EVERYBODY:''' Yay! Yeah!

'''SILENT RIP:''' All Right! PG-13!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, I'm afraid lights out for you is at oh-now hundred hours!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, all that cuss-language might give you nightmares. Ah-ha ha ha.

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can handle it, why I can even swear a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper-biscuits.

'''OTHER COMMANDOS:''' Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can't do anything right. I might as well go home and get teen pregnant.

''{The other commandos gasp, the Blue Las-Alert siren sounds once.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Easy there, Cheat Cuss-mando, you just made an inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior!

'''REYNOLD:''' A whaaa?

''{cut to the black and white Commandos in the Classroom logo, which looks like Reynold in a mortar cap pointing a pointer at an A+}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the Classroom!

''{Cut to another black-and-white slide that reads "LESSON 4: INAPPROPRIATE PEER-2-TEEN CHOICE BEHAVIORS". At the bottom in fine print it reads "*TEACHERS, USE THIS TIME TO CATCH A NAP OR HAVE A SMOKE."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Lesson four: Inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold in Cheat Commandos HQ}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Here, Reynold, lemme show you.

''{Gunhaver points the remote at the screen, which shows two ponies fighting in a field for a moment, then snows out to a diagram of the brain. The other commandos cheer for a second, then boo as the scene changes.}''

'''COMMANDO:''' Watchin' the ponies...

'''GUNHAVER:''' The brain is divided into two halves: ''{The brain in the diagram gets a jagged line down the middle}'' the good half ''{A dotted line points to the left half saying "GOOD HALF"}'' and the evil half. ''{A dotted line points to the right half saying "EVIL HALF.}'' The good half likes positive things, like Self-Esteem, ''{the word "Self-Esteem" appears in the middle of the screen and moves into the "good" half of the brain.}'' Oreo Cheesecake, ''{again, the words appear and move into the brain}'' Bringing Your Old Man a Cold One, ''{again, then cut to a closeup of Gunhaver}'' and all our playsets and toys. ''{Cut back to the diagram.}'' But the evil half likes ''{as each of the next four words is said, is appears from the "evil" half of the brain and moves to the right side of the screen}'' Littering, Loitering, Latering, Lootering, and all the other stuff that causes inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors! ''{The other words vanish and are replaced by "Inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors.}''

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But how do ''I'' keep from making peer-to-teen choice awards, Gunhaver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' If you find yourself in a sticky ''{makes "finger quotes"}'' teenage situation, just remember these three pro-positive life tools:

''{Cut to Silent Rip in a classroom, next to a Blue Laser minion. Both appear to be taking tests.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' What did you get for number four, sir?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uhhhh...

''{Gunhaver suddenly enters the screen from the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Freeze!'' ''{The screen cuts to a diagram of a male body with "PRO-POSITIVE LIFE TOOL" written next to it, and a giant "#1" appears next to it.}'' Pro-positive life tool number one: ''{Gunhaver appears on the screen}'' say you have one of any debilitating gold rush era diseases! ''{He pulls out a book labeled "BIG BOOK OF DEBILITATING GOLD RUSH ERA DISEASES", and "BBODGRED" on the spine.}''

''{Cut back to the classroom.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Come on, man. I thought we were bros!

'''SILENT RIP:''' I can't! I have the typhoid! Or the cholera!

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Never mind. Your answers are gross, bro.

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold, the latter of whom is now wearing a false beard and a prospector's hat, and is holding a mining pick.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Gold rush era diseases, eh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to the supermarket, where two Blue Laser Minions are holding a lot of bottles labeled "WINE COOLA," some of them in their pants, and Fightgar is standing nearby.}''

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Hey, man. We need you to put these wine coolers down your pants... er, down your headband.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Oh, um, uh...

''{Again, Gunhaver suddenly jumps onto the screen.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''STOP!'' ''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a woman's body. "#2" appears on the side and "EN SAP" at the bottom.}'' Pro-positive life tool numero two: ''{sillhouettes of the two Blue Laser minions and Gunhaver appear with question marks over them. The minions are labeled "INAPPROPRIATORS"}'' Envision your Inappropriators ''{Gunhaver is labeled "STILL JUST YOU" and the minions turn into pizza slices.}'' as giant slices of pizza.

''{Cut back to the supermarket.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ah-ha ha ha! You're deep-dish! Ah-ha ha! And you've got extra cheese! Ah-ha ha ha ha! Oh, pepperoni!

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' What's with this guy?

'''SECOND BLUE LASER MINION:''' He sounds crazy. Should we shoot him?

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Abso-total-lutely!

''{The second minion pulls out a large gun and aims it at Fightgar. The scene cuts back to Gunhaver and Reynold, who is now wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, with a ball sitting next to him, and we can hear shooting over the next exchange.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But Gunhaver, I've never had pizza before!

'''GUNHAVER:''' But you know what it looks like, don't you?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{smiliing}'' I think so!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''(cut to a slummy street. There is a bar named Seedy Bar there. Firebert is walking along. Blue Laser Commander is behind a wall.)''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Hey kid, do you want to smoke candy with me?

''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a bear. "#3" appears on the side}''

''{Transcript in progress.}''

Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items

Suicune64 — Mon, 12 Sep 2005 00:57:07 GMT

Suicune64: /* Items */ Shortly is sort of the wrong word...

There are an abundance of enemies in the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
== Enemies ==
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Name !! Image !! Description !! Shots to kill !! Level
|-
| Jaro || align="center" | [[Image:jaro.PNG]] || '''Jaro''' is a cuplike enemy that can't attack, besides jumping on you. It is destroyed by blasting it once. || 1 || 1,5,6,-0
|-
| Greggo || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-greggo.gif]] || '''Greggo''' is a robot who walks back and forth along the platform he's on. He is a little bit tricky, because if you are looking at him, he will crouch down and become immobile and indestructible. When unguarded, one shot will take him out. One strategy for defeating him is to get on lower ground and jump, shoot, then quickly turn around. However that can be a tad tricky, and you can accomplish the same thing by facing him, shooting, and '''then''' jumping (timing your jump to where your shot will hit him when your above him). The easiest strategy was to walk up close to him while he's defending and physically punch him. That ''used'' to kill him instantly but has been changed/fixed. Alternatively, fire a shot at him and then walk away from him - he will stop crouching and the shot will kill him. An easier way is to run up next to him, then face the other way. '''Quickly''' turn around and fire simultaneously. Then he should die. || 1 || 1,-0
|-
| Browntant || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-browntant.png]] [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-bluetant.gif]] || '''Browntant''' is an enemy that won't move. It will try to shoot you but you can jump over his shots. He also likes to shoot at you while you're on a ladder, but you should be able to just duck under his shots and dart up and get him. It takes 3 hits to kill, but is invincible while flashing between hits. If you walk far enough away that it leaves the screen, its damage will heal and you will have to hit it another 3 times. A blue variety can be found in levels 6 and -0 but it is no different from the normal-colored variety. || 3 || 1,2,5,6, -0
|-
| Chorch || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-chorch.gif]] || '''Chorch''' is a horizontally-flying robot that will try to pinch you. Don't touch him or you'll take damage. Sometimes he floats low above the ground, but usually he floats in mid-air. He always follows the same route back and forth, making him ridiculously predictable. Shoot him once and he'll explode. || 1 || 1,2,5,6, -0
|-
| Kolkaryu || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-kolkaryu.gif]] || '''Kolkaryu''' is a little flying saucer that appears out of the sky in specific places. He flies in, stops, shoots two bursts of four bullets diagonally downward, and then leaves. He won't chase you, and once he flies away, he's gone for good. You can't damage him, so don't try. When he appears, jump out of range or stand directly underneath him where his bullets do not reach.|| inv. || 1,2,5,-0
|-
| Pooru-Pooru || align="center" | [[Image:Pooru-Pooru.png]] || '''Pooru-Pooru''' is a spiky cucumber. Don't confuse it with a cactus. It is planted firmly into the ground and doesn't move. It will sit around, usually in a group, waiting for some unfortunate fellow to fall on it. Touching this plant will hurt Stinkoman, and there is no way to damage it, so it's best to just leave it alone.|| inv. || 1,2,3,-0
|-
| Old Sage || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-old_sage.png]] || '''Old Sage''' is a spike that is usually found in a group. They stay still, either resting on the ground or hanging on the ceiling. If they're over you, don't jump. If they're under you, don't fall. If you happen to touch one, you will die, regardless of how much energy you have. While fighting Ekersby, Old Sages only cost you one unit of energy.|| inv. || 1,2,4,5,7, -0
|-
| Terrell || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-terrell-ground.png]] [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-terrell-jump.png]] || '''Terrell''' is just the head of a chicken that likes to bounce around. One hit and he's gone. || 1 || 2,-0
|-
| Grundy || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-grundy.gif]] || '''Grundy''' is a wingless chicken wearing running shoes. He walks back and forth on the platform he is on, occasionally speeding up and slowing down. In level 2.2, there are two Grundys moonwalking. You can kill him in one easy shot, so he's a minor nuisance at best. || 1 || 2,-0
|-
| Stobat || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-stobat.gif]] || '''Stobat''' is a fat chicken with no visible feet. It has an infinite amount of bones inside its body to spit out at you and will spit three at a time. The bones shoot very close to each other, and the best strategy is to get out of range of the third and longest-reaching shot. You have a larger range than the Stobat, so once you get a safe distance away, shoot him. A Stobat takes four hits to kill, and like Browntant, is invincible while flashing red. || 4 || 2,-0
|-
| Rose Blake || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-rose_blake.png]] || '''Rose Blake''' is an electric burner. Don't stand on them when they're white-hot and flashing, but the cool-down time is safe. Learning their patterns is helpful. || inv. || 2,-0
|-
| Lundsford || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-lundsford.png]] || '''Lundsford''' is a gas flame that comes from ovens. You can learn their habits and stay out of reach by staying at the very edge of the oven. They may be walked on when turned off, but this is unsafe. || inv. || 2,-0
|-
| Tortan || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-tortan.png]] || '''Tortan''' is a bottle of itself according to the [[Stinkomanual]]. It is a green liquid that usually leaks out of bottles (of itself) and will damage you. || inv. || 2
|-
| Clowder || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-clowder.png]] || '''Clowder''' is a cloud with helicopter propellers on him. You cannot kill him, so just avoid him. As of the addition of level 9, Clowders no longer have propellors. || inv. || 3
|-
| Mr. Ubbers || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-mrubbers.gif]] || '''Mr. Ubbers''' is an angry raindrop that drops down from above in stage 3.1. It can't hurt Stinkoman at all; in fact, touching him does absolutely nothing. He actually does more good than bad. If you punch him, he will disappear in a splash and a gold nugget will fly out. Collecting these nuggets lets you win the level. || 1 || 3
|-
| Poorbt || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-poorbt.png]] || '''Poorbt''' will run on occasionally in level 4 and shoot his fist at you. It appears a set time after Stinkoman reaches a certain spot, rather than being in a fixed position. Put your big fist between you and it and you won't be harmed. You can kill him with your fist, but that doesn't seem to achieve much. If you are standing under a lava-fall with your fist straight up, you can press a or s to swing your fist down and block his attack. || 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Gokul || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-gokul.png]] || '''Gokul''' lies in waiting to attack 1-Up. Kill him by crushing him with rocks sent down by your mighty fist. || 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Gaspeau || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-gaspeau.png]] || '''Gaspeau''' Flies around, back-and-forth, to attack 1-Up. Kill him in the same way as Gokul. He may also appear in level 6.2. || 1 || 4,6,-0
|-
| Pink Cham Cham || align="center" | [[Image:pinkchamcham.gif]] || '''Pink Cham Cham''' is a double-ended laser gun rolled in green coconut. It fires two lasers upwards at Stinkoman, one from each shooter. The lasers don't hurt your fist so you can hold that over it to kill it, while keeping Stinkoman himself out of the laser's range. || 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Frotzer || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-frotzer.png]] || '''Frotzer''' is basically a blue Gaspeau that only moves in one direction and is triggered by Stinkoman's progress like Poorbt. Unlike Gaspeau, Frotzer isn't limited in flying distance, so stop it as soon as you see it.|| 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Astromund || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-astromund.gif|center]] || '''Astromund''' will run after 1-Up in Level 5. His shield means he cannot be kicked from the front - jump over him and then either kick him from behind or ignore him - he won't turn around. In Level -0, the shield won't work on Stinkoman. You can just shoot them. || 1 || 5,-0
|-
| The Bendini Sisters || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-bendinisister.png|center]] || '''The Bendini Sisters''' are meteors that fall regularly on the moon. Dodge them or kick them, but don't let them hit you. There are regular Bendini Sisters in level -0, but occasionally, they are replaced with mock-glitchy arrow platforms (which otherwise behave in an identical manner). || 1 || 5,-0
|-
| Downtant/Uptant || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-uptant.gif|center]] || '''Downtants''' and '''Uptants''' are related to the Browntant. They only take two hits to kill, but shoot five shots at a time, in different directions: two shots are fired horizontally in both directions, two shots are fired perfectly diagonally in both directions and one shot straight is fired up or down, depending on how it is positioned. || 2 || 5,-0
|-
| Piedmont || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-piedmont.gif|center]] || '''Piedmont''' fires deadly beams of light underneath him. You can't hurt it so dash under him while it is inactive. Touching Piedmont while it's inactive actually won't hurt you. || inv. || 5,-0
|-
| Stafulter || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-plug.gif]] || '''Stafulter''' flies around in a fixed pattern, and it can be avoided. It is invulnerable to your shots.  || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| Protek || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-socket.png]] || '''Protek''' jumps up and down on the spot. After taking two hits, his cord will disappear and he will be left sitting on the ground. Now he will shoot electric bolts at you, one from each socket - you have to jump over each of these separately, landing between them before jumping again. In simpler terms, jump a second before the first lightning bolt reaches you, and you will land *just* in front of the second bolt, ready to easily jump it. 3 more shots and he will be dead. Like Browntant and Stobat, he is invincible when flashing red. || 5 || 6,-0
|-
| Postlethwaite || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-cloud.gif]] || '''Postlethwaite''' is not as friendly as the other clouds. Having gotten sick of Stinkoman spending his vacations running around on top of him, this cloud wants revenge. Avoid his lightning bolt at all costs, though he himself is safe to touch between strikes. || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| Porchi || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-blade.gif|center]] || '''Porchi''' is a buzzsaw that comes out of the clouds at regular intervals. It can't be harmed, so run under it or jump over it when it's retracted. || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| Hash-Haw || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-saw.gif|center]] || '''Hash-Haw''' is a saw blade that rises and lowers while moving back and forth. Like Porchi, your best bet is to run under it or jump over it. You should jump over it as it moves towards you. || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| My Benj || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanBlob.PNG|center]] || '''My Benj''' move around randomly on their platforms. They can be destroyed with one hit, but their small size makes them difficult to kill. || 1 || 7,-0
|-
| Stothos || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanRobot.PNG|center]] || '''Stothos''' move somewhat erratically, back and forth across their platforms. At set intervals, they will fire a laser straight forward (alternating the direction with each shot.) The lasers must be jumped if they are headed in Stinkoman's direction, but they are high enough to make avoidance difficult. The robots take three hits to kill, and like other similar monsters, they are invulnerable for a moment after a hit. || 3 || 7,-0
|-
| Fullbide || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanShip.PNG|center]] || '''Fullbide''' flies at Stinkoman when he enters their territory, in a zig-zag pattern. It can be killed in one hit, but if it isn't killed and Stinkoman doesn't leave the area, another will appear shortly. || 1 || 7,-0
|-
| Ditmars || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanFreeze.PNG|center]] || '''Ditmars''' will freeze Stinkoman temporarily, causing you to lose control of him and ultimately costing him a unit of energy. They cannot be destroyed. || inv. || 7
|-
| Seeper Mo || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanBush.PNG|center]] || '''Seeper Mo''' are essentially the same as Pooru-Pooru; you can't kill it, it doesn't move, and touching it costs you a unit of energy. Jump over them, but if many are grouped together, be careful not to slide into the next. || inv. || 7,-0
|-
| Biztar || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanIce.PNG|center]] || '''Biztar''' are ordinary platforms or obstacles that can be destroyed if Stinkoman hits them six times. || 6 || 7,-0
|-
| ''Unknown'' || align="center" | [[Image:Unreleased_StinkoBaddie.PNG]] || This enemy is a cabbage-like creature that opens up and shoots out two red balls. Only the red ball it shoots to its left will hurt Stinkoman, the one it shoots to its right is harmless. It has only made an appearance in the glitch level -0, although it has been in the object library since the original version. It is only vulnerable while it is open. || 1 || -0
|-

Folk Tale World

Suicune64 — Fri, 02 Sep 2005 20:57:20 GMT

Suicune64: Minor grammar corrections

[[Image:Saddy Dumpington 2.PNG|thumb|Watercolor and all]]
'''Folk Tale World''' is the setting of [[A Folky Tale|The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington]].

Folk Tale World is a product of [[Strong Sad]]'s imagination with some embellishments from [[Coach Z]]. It is portrayed in a [[Wikipedia:Watercolor painting|watercolor]] art style. As far as we know, it consists of a town, a lake and a forest. Populating Folk Tale World are [[Saddy Dumpington]], The Townsfolk, The Mayor, A Little Girl, The Dancing Brothers and various woodland creatures.

Talk:A Folky Tale

Suicune64 — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 20:12:25 GMT

Suicune64: /* Are Infintesimally Small Imperfections Really Goofs? */

== Physics ==

''If the laws of physics are the same in Free Country, USA as they are on the real earth, then the rope is only about 10 feet long.''

If i dare to reveal my ignorance, can anyone explain/elaborate?
And evidently, the rope is NOT 10 feet long as Strong Sad cannot see Homsar holding it
Then again, since when does physic apply around Homsar?
-[[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]

:The time it takes a pendulum to swing back and forth is the same regardless of its weight or density. It only depends on the strength of gravity and the length of the pendulum. So since the rope takes about 3.4 seconds to swing back and forth, it should be about ten feet long. But this fact keeps on being deleted, so it's probably not important. -[[User:Eman|Eman]]

::It's really not important how long the rope is, especially since you can still see the tops of the trees. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:07, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::Strong Sad doesn't say he can't see homsar; He just says that he is "concerned about what that rope is attached to." Wouldn't you be concerned if Coach Z told you to climb a rope held up by homsar and nothing else?

I should point out that the rope's ''center of mass'' should be at ten feet. The rope is therefore 20 feet long (assuming uniform density). Also, by counting ten periods while looking at my clock, the rope swings every 3.7 seconds, not 3.4 seconds which means it's 22 feet long if you trust some extra significant figures. Hooray for my first contribution!

== The mayor and Dancing bros. ==

Where should we catagorize them? I like the Dancing bros. enough to make a page about them, but the mayor is just a guy.. with ... a job..?--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:20, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm am doing the Dancing Brothers, but I don't think an article about the mayor is a good idea. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}} 04:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Agreed--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== The Elephant Man ==

May I add something about the realationship with how Puppet Homestar said that he looked like the elephant man on the DVD Puppet Stuff? --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:36, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

does it take two or three times to be mentioned as an inside joke? it depends on that i think--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:38, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

After research i think that the elphant man is obscure enough to be classified as an inside joke...--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:39, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

So, then what should I do? BTW, thanks! lol --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:41, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

The elephant man hasn't ever really seemed obscure to me... Maybe to other people though. But all the same, in those two different contexts, it doesn't seem like an inside joke to me. If there was yet another reference to the elephant man after this, then I'd call it safe to classify it as an inside joke(or more appropriately, a running gag). --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

==Linking Up==
I think it would be a good idea to link Saddy Dumpington in the inside references section.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:40, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Saddy Dumpington's already linked at the top under Characters. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 04:42, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Roger. Sorry! I'm just excited to be helping a little bit with the new toon.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:44, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

^^I feel the same way. I'm trying to find something I can do!!! lol --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:45, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Shut up. --Der Pepper

Der Pepper, comments like that will get you banned. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 18:59, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Linking to this article==
Should we title the link as Saddy Dumpington (toon), or Saddy Dumpington. I prefer the latter because wherever the link is, people will be able to presue by the text that it is a cartoon.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:48, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Saddy Dumpington is already an article about the character.--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 04:49, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I know that, but I talking about using the | thing in the link. I've seen it before for toons.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 04:51, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I vote we should hold off on the desicion until it is on the toons page and then make the visible part of the link say whatever the toons page says.[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 05:05, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

And now we know, "A Folky Tale." So much for that. --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

== Article Name ==

Why is this article not called "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington"? That's what's on the title card. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:50, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
: I think the page should be moved as soon as the title appears on the 'Toons page (which it hasn't yet). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:53, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, I agree. I won't be surprised if that above is the full title. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:08, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::"A Folky Tale." I was close. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::I agree with Dot com on this one. Why is the article named the way it is? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:02, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::::As "A Folky Tale," this is how it appears on the Toons menu. The question was asked when this page was called "Saddy Dumpington (toon)." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:11, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::::D'oh! I'm not going to the main site enough! Thanks for clarifying! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:13, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::::I do believe it is on the Toons page now! --[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 19:15, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Side issue: Should "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington" be a redirect? I guess I could just make one, but... meh. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:19, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== lol ==

I laughed my butt of at Jargle.. anyone else? Beuler?

== Folk Tale World ==

I created the page [[Folk Tale World]] i'm bad at writing whole articles, so anyone be my guest.

:Shouldn't this be more properly called "Folky Tale World" or "Folky Tale Town"? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Ropes and Dopes==

I'm not sure if the "ropes are for dopes" comment should be kept in the remarks section (at least how it is). Although when people start a story with a quote, the quote is in the story, that is not always true. Maybe it should be in trivia. -[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 05:16, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:It seems like a remark to me. I find it odd that he used the quote as a transition to tell his story and then never mentioned it in the story itself. He used "passing out for the rest of their lives" to transition back to the rope. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:35, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Rope-a-Dope==
All this talk of ropes and dopes makes me think of Ali's "[[Wikipedia:Rope-a-dope|rope-a-dope]]" strategy vs. George Foreman. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05:32, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Homsar's line==

Any idea what Homsar is saying? The best I can make out is "I dazzle men," but that's only a guess. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:00, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Did he say something about a "mayor?"
:: It's possible. I'm pretty sure I hear a "dazzle", at the very least, but it's hard to tell. I know he's saying ''something'' and don't feel right leaving it as "''{muffled speech}''." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:31, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure he says "I'm a climbable man..."--[[User:Adamlw|Adamlw]] 06:43, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:First I heard "I'm a rectangular man" (Which is lined up cinely with his hat) But now it's more like "I'm a (something)able man". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:53, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Someone just suggested "I'm a powerful man!" At first, I deleted it. After listening more closely, I'm pretty sure that's it. I put it back into the transcript that way. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:08, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::Maybe next week's QotW will reveal all! ;) -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:10, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Sounds to me like "I'm a talented man. - Lord-Z

:Either "I'm an admirable man" or "I'm a climbable man" is what I think. -Eternal

::Looks like someone changed it back to "muffled". Obviously we're not hearing the same thing. Any bets that next week's QotW clears this up? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:37, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::Only if TBC are going to read this talk page... {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:43, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I personally think it's "I'm square with the man", kinda inspired by the way his hat moves. I guess we really can't say though.. Heh. -[[User:Mick|Mick]]

== Martbell ==

Could this be some nod at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Bell Art Bell]? Those weird "dancing brothers" sure fit in with that hypothesis.

Haha or maybe not. I just wanted to have this on here because that's what it made me think of. [[User:64.164.69.221|64.164.69.221]] 11:36, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Old Intro? ==

:When Saddy Dumpington walks through the field and is silhouetted by the sun, could it be a reference to [[Old Intro 2]]? Should I add this to Inside References or STUFF or what? I'm new at this. - Eternal

==Jargle=Gargle?==
Another instance of "G-pronounced-J"? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:12, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I don't think so. It seems to be a mutation of the word "jargon." —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:15, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Jargon? I've heard "gargle" used in the sense of "nonesense" or "gobbledygook". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:19, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Look? ==

I don't know if my speakers are broken or what, but I hear something different for Strong Sad's first line. It sounds ambigously explicit to me. I certainly don't hear "Look," as indicated on the transcript, and I seem to hear a bit of an F sound. Does anybody else hear what I (kinda) hear?
: If you're implying what I think you're implying, then no. TBC have made it clear that any language more foul than "crap" is not to appear on homestarrunner.com. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:14, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
: PS. Maybe you're hearing the "S" at the end of Coach Z's "times" (which is ungrammatical, but Coach Z makes the ''very same mistake'' earlier in the same line, so...) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:19, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
==Are Infintesimally Small Imperfections Really Goofs?==
I think it's a very bad idea to set the precedent that very very small color differences are somehow goofs worth noting. I'm sure if we looked hard enough, we could find numerous "goofs" of that sort in every single cartoon. It's my opinion that goofs worth noting involve continuity mistakes in either the story line or gross features of the artwork, not some miniscule color differences in a tiny 50 square pixel area of the frame. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:30, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I dunno. This one I find kinda interesting. TBC have been making toons for a while now. They're not what you would call novices. They have the tools and the talent to get it right at this stage of the game. It's not like those old ''Scooby-Doo'' cartoons. You know, where the trap door stands out because it's painted in a slightly different color of blue from the rest of the floor. In that case, the door and the floor were created using two completely different means, so it was almost impossible to get right. In the case of this toon, however, getting the color right should just have been a matter of selecting the eyedropper tool and choosing the background. I do agree with you that we have to draw a line somewhere, though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:38, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::Here's a description of the alleged goof: "the green is only 1/128 different. I had to zoom WAY in to be sure of this." Apart from being a good observation, is this really this level of "perfection" that we should expect from H*R? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:40, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::I don't think we expect perfection (what we expect is beside the point). The fact is that it should have been one color (#007E00), and instead it was another (#008000). That's the very definition of a goof. The difference is ever so slight, true, but once it's pointed out, it's very obvious, at least to me. This project is a complete chronicle of H*R. I think any fact should be included that is so easily verifiable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::I understand what you're saying. I think we both agree that there is a limit to what should reasonably be noted. I just happen to think that this one lies outside that limit. I'm a little concerned that this'll set a precedent that'll send all the 12 year-olds off combing every frame at high-zoom looking for "goofs". ;)-- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:58, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Wait, can you STUFF a goof?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:47, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Yes, goofs can be STUFF'd. But if we do, we need to be careful. We need to make it absolutely clear that the decision on this fact has the potential to set precedent, whether we accept it or decline it. Another possibility would be to have a discussion in a more central location, like [[HRWiki_talk:Standards]], to decide just where the line on goofs should be. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:54, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

This is ''not'' infintessimally small. It's not blaringly obvious, but it's clearly visible without zooming in if you know to look for it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:17, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:And relating to this, I didn't even have to look. It's obvious to anyone sailing their eyes about the screen, and I know I was sure of the error without zooming in for a better look. Even if one doesn't see the green, the imperfection in the line, as well as the discolouration, is easily noticed. It's not infintesimally small, as was said, it's rather obvious that there's a discolouration in line and lawn. And relating to the Scooby-Doo point, yes, there may have been a more brightly coloured trapdoor against a darker floor, BUT both shades were not present on either object of the two, whereas here we have what should be an outright solid fill, interrupted.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Rock, Rock On" on the final screen to see all the toys again. Click on each toy to see it alone.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This commercial serves to introduce all of the Cheat Commandos with the exception of Firebert. He was previously introduced in the Strong Bad email [[army]].

===Remarks===
*This cartoon is loaded with exceptions to the once-solid rule of only mentioning "Cheat" with "The" in front of it. The fact that all the Cheat Commando characters except Firebert can speak normally implies that the writers paid no regard to the source material, as is the case with many cartoons based on toys, comics or video games.
*When the Cheat Commandos are marching in the TV show, some of them walk by twice.
*At the end, Flashfight doesn't have his arm lifted in salute, possibly because he is the commander.
*Although Blue Laser action figures appear in this cartoon, they don't appear packaged in the Easter egg at the end.

===Goofs===
*Gunhaver calls the "Action Figure Storage Truck" by the wrong name. He says "vehicle" instead of "truck".
*The page title is "Compy 386!!!" yet this is not an Email.

===Inside References===
*When the commandos are at "R&R", they are next to "Xtra cold ones", a new variation on a [[Cold One]].
*All Cheat Commando toys are [[$11.01]].
*The Cheat Commando action figure packages are the same design as in the emails "[[action figure]]" and "[[army]]".
*Silent 'But Deadly' Rip's voice in the TV show is the same as the guy in the truck show The Cheat is watching in the Strong Bad email [[privileges]].
*The helicopter sound in the beginning is just like the The Cheat Skycam Traffic helicopter sounds from the Strong Bad email [[local news]].
*The words 'Cool Glasses' on Gunhaver's package is a reference to [[The theme from DANGERESQUE II: This time, it's not Dangeresque I]] on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]
*On the toy packages the word "commandos" is coloured with the colours on the [[Strongbadia]] flag.
*Ripberger is the name of the magistrate in [[Thy Dungeonman 2]].
**Ripberger is also the name of the character voiced by Mark Hamill in the Lucas Arts game "Full Throttle" (although his name is spelled 'Ripburger').
*On Crackotage's package, it says "Museum Quality". This is a reference to the packaged version of Strong Bad's peanut action figure from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
*The caption "Yellow Dog!!" on Firebert's action figure package is a reference to what Homestar says in [[army]].
*[[Firebert]]'s box looks exactly the same as in the easter egg in [[army]]

===Real-World References===
*[[Foxface]], the only female commando, is obviously modeled after the [[Wikipedia:G. I. Joe|GI Joe]] character, Scarlett, whose mantra is "I'm not just one of the 'guys'; I'm better.", according to the [http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/experience/pl/page.filecards/team.Joe/joe_id.64/dn/default.cfm GI Joe website]. According to Foxface's packaging, she is "Not One of The Guys!!"
*[[Blue Laser]]'s plan to blow up the ocean might be a reference to an actual GI Joe episode. In "There's No Place Like Springfield," [[Wikipedia:COBRA Organization|Cobra]] had invented a chemical compound which could convert any body of water—even oceans—into a powerful explosive.
* The fact that the base of all Cheat Commandos are the same (in terms of size, appearance, expression, etc), with only costumes setting them apart, alludes to countless toys in the 80s that were the same way to facilitate mass-production.

== The Cheat Commandos (and their package captions) ==
*[[Gunhaver]]
**Stylin' Coat
**Cool Glasses!
**Has a Gun!
**Probably from Texas!
*[[Firebert]]
**Yellow Dog!!
**Black Hat!
**Not A Good Commando Name!!
**That One Little Guy!!

Suicune64: Added rock opera commentary note

I'm Dane Dagenais, and I've been a Homestar Runner fan for over a year. I first found the site in a link on IGN's Metroid Board, when a user said he couldn't beat 'Craig' in about February. The problem was that the boss was actually a three-eyed, spiked lizard called Kraid. Of course, people started commenting that Kraid wasn't exactly a fierce name. Someone, as you would guess, responded, "Yeah, now a name like Trogdor the Burninator, that's majesty!" With that, they posted a link. I clicked it, and was entertained by Strong Bad's two attempts to draw a dragon. After deleting "sbemail58.html" from the URL, I started exploring the whole site, and so it began.

==My Contributions==
Mainly an assortment of typo fixes, rephrasings and the like, truth be told.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I don't know. I think I prefer his work with the Furious 5 much more. He had more street cred back then.

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' We should stand boy-girl-boy-girl! ''{thunder booms, organ sting}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Good one, Marzipan! That way we know it's fair!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I get to stand next to you, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope! I'm standin' next to Bubs! You get to stand next to Strong Baaad. ''{walks away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps}'' Uh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Psst! Hey Marzipan, is my slip showing?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll go first. ''(a circle forms around him so his picture is now an inset of a new scene)'' Umm... Okay! Once, there was this green gobliiiin... ''{a goblin appears}'' and um, he used to... look aroooound... ''{the goblin looks around}'' And um, I guess he did a daaance. ''{the goblin dances}'' Oh man, that was terrible... ''{passes flashlight to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' And the goblin, he had a Gremlin! And he jacked it up on some fat tires, and uh, he tuned it up on some 4.11 positrak outback 750 double pumper edelbrock intake 4 over 30 11-to-1 pop-up pistons turbo jets 390 horsepower—I mean, he had some freakin' muscle! ''{passes to Pom Pom}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}'' ''{a blonde girl in a pink bikini with a Pom head appears next to the Gremlin}'' ''{bubbling noises}'' ''{redhead with a blue bikini}'' ''{bubbling noises}'' ''{brunette, leopard}'' ''{bubbling noises}'' ''{beer and sports paraphernalia appear}'' ''{passes to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, one of the girls had a cute little kitten named Kitty-kitty. ''{A cat appears beside the girl on the left.}'' The other girl had a cute little puppy named Chris. ''{A dog appears beside the girl on the right.}'' And, the third girl was a Republican. ''{A picket sign appears in the hand of the girl on the Gremlin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, brother! Gimme that! ''{snatches flashlight}'' So then the robot came ''{The Visor Robot appears onscreen, to the right.}'' and he started vaporizing everybody with his vapor-sound! ''{Robot begins doing just that}'' And he was like "You take this, and you'd better, you, and you take this, everybody's gonna die!" And he was like "Oh, it's the Gremlin! I hate you, Goblin's Gremlin! DIE!" ''{The Robot picks up the Gremlin and heaves it across the place where it is not visible anymore.}'' I need to get some more punch. ''{passes to the King of Town and walks off}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oooh, oooh! ''{The Visor Robot and Goblin stand across from each other and all the food appears that the KOT mentions in between them.}'' And there was fried fish and heavenly ham and Salisbury sundaes and globs of meringue and strawberry frosted donuts and bowls full of jelly and Klondike pudding and scrumptious fillers... and—DOO! DOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO! ''{All the food inexplicably disappears. The King passes the flashlight to Strong Sad and hurries off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so it turns out that the Robot had a human brain which was stolen from a kindly old man. And the children of the old man came up to the Robot looking for their father, and they called out to him. ''{Speech bubble with an exclamation point in it appears on the girl.}'' The Robot's human brain then remembered his children and his stolen life, and he was moved to tears. ''{Robot starts to cry.}'' But the tears shorted out his circuits, and fried his brain. ''{Electric volts appear on the robot's head}'' And the Robot toppled over, and he crushed his children, and the Goblin, too. ''{Robot falls on them and his brain comes out.}'' And none of them lived.

''{cut to Bubs, Coach Z, and The King of Town crying.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{crying}'' Oh, jeese, what a total downer! ''{they walk away, still crying}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man! I am outta here!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{crying}'' That's the saddest story I've ever heard! You can't come to next year's party. ''{walks away, while The Poopsmith sighs deeply and also walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{sadly}'' Gee...thanks for coming to my party, Strong Sad. ''{sighs, walks away.}''

''{Everyone except Strong Sad leaves, and crickets start chirping. An owl hoots and a far-off dog howls. Strong Sad clicks the flashlight on and off a few times, then the screen fades.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first cartoon where any of the characters admit ever having a mom, when Strong Bad admits that his mom helped him with his costume. If you want to get ''really'' technical, though, the short-lived [[Yearbook Character Page]] was actually the first admission of parental leadership.
*With nine deaths, this cartoon has a higher body count than any other cartoon on the website, including [[Teen Girl Squad]].
*This is the only time we've seen Coach Z with a full complement of fingers.
*Marzipan suggests they should line up boy-girl-boy-girl. She is the only girl, making this difficult. Strong Bad crossdressing could make him considered a girl, but if so he shouldn't stand next to Marzipan.
*Strong Mad, The Cheat, The Poopsmith, and Coach Z never contributed to the ghost story, but the Poopsmith probably doesn't contribute to the story on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*This toon was "Written, drawn, and directed by Matt, Mike, and Craig". This is most likely [[Craig Zobel]].
*According to [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], the spooky trees in the background are just next to [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].

===Goofs===
*The birthmark on Strong Sad as [[Wikipedia:Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]] is on the wrong side of his head.
*When Homestar turns the flashlight on and off for Flashlight Ghost Storytelling with a Flashlight, his face isn't illuminated any better, so much as the rest of his body is cast into shadow.
*When Strong Sad turns the flash light on & off at the end, his hands didn't move.

===Inside References===
*The dog "Chris" looks suspiciously like [[Old Characters|Trivia Time]].

===Real World References===
*Bubs' description of the Gremlin is [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/quotes quoted] directly from the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0106677|Dazed And Confused]]''.
*The flux capacitor visible on the Gremlin is a reference to the 1982 Delorean DMC12 from the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0088763|Back to the Future]]'' .
*Strong Sad turning the flashlight on and off is possibly an homage to the movie ''[[imdb:tt0111149|Shallow Grave]]'', in which Christopher Eccleston's character turns a flashlight on and off into his face while spiralling into insanity.
*Homestar's shirt says "corporate rock still sucks", a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:Rolling Stone|Rolling Stone]] [http://i.rollingstone.com/assets/rs/110/76/images/23060_lg.jpg cover] where [[Wikipedia:Kurt Cobain|Cobain]] wore a shirt saying "Corporate Magazines still suck". Also, his shoes look a lot like [[Wikipedia:Converse Shoes|Converse]], which Cobain allegedly made popular.
**It's also possibly a nod to certain ''[http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/TSHIRTS/NV204.jpg Nirvana sweaters]''
*Homestar's line "Coach Z is down with the PE" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Public Enemy|Public Enemy]] song "Burn Hollywood Burn", wherein guest-rapper [[Wikipedia:Ice Cube|Ice Cube]] raps "Ice Cube is down with the PE".
**This could be a play on words; PE could also stand for physical education, as Coach Z is indeed a coach.

===Fast Forward===

*Marzipan's line, "You can't come to next year's party," was revisited in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], when Marzipan said, "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year."
*The music that was used for the Flashlight Ghost Storytelling Using a Flashlight was used again in The House That Gave Sucky Treats and the Strong Bad e-mail [[theme park]] during "Strong Sad's Stunt Spooktacular".

Radio Sightings

Suicune64 — Sat, 20 Aug 2005 19:51:10 GMT

Suicune64: Where->at which

Homestar Runner has had features and references on the radio. Here's proof!

=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th, 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character video on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part at which Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a high-five, but I see that I'm already here."
*It seems that The Rock are frequent users of Homestar Runner quotes, around once a week or so you can hear one pop up.

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), the DJ, Stash, told listeners to visit the radio's website "... at q98.net, it's dot com." This could be a reference to the First Time Here cartoon, in which Homestar says, "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

=== ''NPR on Strong Bad and H*R'' ===
NPR's All Things Considered program on May 8, 2005 discussed the H*R site, ran down some of the characters, and featured a short interview with The Brothers Chaps. Also shown at [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4634837 this site].

=== ''102 The Mountain'' ===
In mid July, The Mountain featured a short sound byte from [[radio]].

== Transcript ==

''{COOL THINGS appears on Marzipan's carpet. We tilt up to see Homestar and Marzipan sitting on the couch. Marzipan is reading "Peter Threadbare", while Homestar just looks bored.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighs}'' Sitting on the couch is zero amount of fun when there's not a TV or hang glider in front of it.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, why don't you do something constructive? Like read a book, or write a novella.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I already did some writing today. And then I read what I wrote.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yay! Good for you. Can I see it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's right over there. Check it out!

''{Homestar looks at the left wall. The camera view changes to show that "Cool tapes" is roughly written on the wall.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Why did you write "Cool tapes" on my wall?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, hello? ''{Cut back to the couch. Marzipan and Homestar both look annoyed.}'' Maybe because I like cool tapes?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I hope you like "cool" painting, because this has got to go.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating a trombone}'' Mwah, bwah, bwahhhh.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is inside, looking bored. Three cans of "yella paint" are stacked next to him. Homestar walks up to the stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say there, old Bubs! I need three cans of yella paint, and one pair of cool shades.

'''BUBS:''' Sorry, customer, I'm closed.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But you're standing right there. And I see the yella paint right next to you.

'''BUBS:''' But I'm closed! Cutbacks, layoffs, downsizing, you know the drill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He looks over his shoulder, then looks back at Bubs.}'' Hey, Bubs, can you steal three cans of yella paint for me?

'''BUBS:''' I never pass up a chance to stick it to the man! Here you go! ''{He gives the cans of paint to Homestar.}'' I slipped the cool shades in the can number two.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Bubs. Power to the people!

'''BUBS:''' I heard that!

''{Cut to Homestar's silhouette walking away from the stand. We then cut to a close-up of Homestar walking in the field.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I'm gonna bust out my new cool shades. ''{He kneels down, opens one of the paint cans, and pulls out a pair of [[Homestar's Sunglasses|sunglasses]] that are completely covered in paint. He puts them on.}'' Coool! Everything's yellow and drippy.

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dripping Yellow Madness!

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? I'm Strong Sad! Dripping Yellow Madness moved away after fifth grade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look, I'd love to stay and argue that you are in fact Dripping Yellow Madness, but this paint and I ''{He kicks one of the cans of paint}'' have a date with a wall!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I had a date with a wall.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Go for it! Here. ''{He gives the paint cans to Strong Sad}'' You'll need these.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, uh, good luck tonight.

''{He makes a clicking sound with his mouth, then walks off. He lands in a small hole. There is a sign next to it that says "death hole" in Strong Bad's handwriting. Homestar screams while falling in and continues to scream after he's stopped falling. He's standing in a hole up to his neck.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gradually getting quiter}'' Aaaaaaaaaaah...I'm at the bottom of a giant piiiit...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, take off those stupid cool shades.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I should probably return these things.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking offscreen, singing}'' Oh, getting lucky tonight...

''{Paint runs down the screen. When it is gone, we see a close-up of Homestar, still wearing the cool shades.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, friend. Lemme get my money back for these cool shades.

''{The camera pulls back to reveal Homestar standing a bit too far away from Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is inside, and there's a banner on the stand that says "UNDER OLD MANAGEMENT!!"}''

'''BUBS:''' Little bit closer, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{He walks closer, and walks past Bubs a bit. Bubs moves in front of him.}'' Lemme get my money back for these cool shades.

'''BUBS:''' Sure! You got your receipt?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. ''{He takes off his sunglasses.}'' The sales representative I dealt with gave them to me...free of charge. I believe...his name was Stan.

'''BUBS:''' Stan?! I fired that guy after the fifth grade! Without a receipt, I can only exchange them for something of lesser or much lesser value. And the only thing that qualifies is this! ''{He holds up a bag with four grapes in it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He takes the bag}'' These'll do! These'll do juuust fine!

''{Cut to Homestar's silhouette walking away from the stand. The sun is lower than before, and the sky is a purplish color. Cut to a view of Homestar walking into Marzipan's house, then cut to Marzipan's living room, where Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are standing in front of the wall with "Cool Tapes" written on it. Strong Mad has an electric bass, The Cheat has a drum kit, and Marzipan has [[Carol]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' All right, boys. From the top. ''{Homestar's silhouette appears in the foreground.}'' One, two—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What in— ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar's face. He looks angry.}'' —Pete Sampras is going on here?!

''{cut to a close-up of Marzipan's face.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you took too long, so Strong Mad, and The Cheat and I formed a band called Cool Tapes. ''{She smiles sheepishly.}''

''{Cut back to a still-angry Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, really?! What kind of...music do you play?!

''{Cut to a wide shot of Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, here, we'll show you. We only have one song so far, and it's not quite finished, but here goes. Ready, boys?

''{Strong Mad, The Cheat and Marzipan all play their instruments.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' One, two, three four!

''{singing}'' 
''Cool tapes are cool, 'cause they're where it is at,'' 
''Cool tapes are cool, and we like it like that!'' 
''Cool tapes! Cool tapes!'' 
''We like to get it down with the cool, cool tapes,'' 
''We like to get down with'' ...um... ''{the music stops}'' um...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A bag of four grapes?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{music starts again, singing} A bag of four grapes!''

''{We hear an audience cheering. Homestar pops up from the bottom of the screen and shakes the bag. A cassette tape appears in the foreground that reads "THE END." Homestar peeks through one of the holes in the cassette.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on "THE" on the cassette at the end to see a conversation with Strong Bad and The Cheat.
''{Strong Bad is lying on the couch in his basement, watching TV.}''

'''TV:''' ...same truck that tried to kill my dad!

''{The Cheat enters, carrying his drumsticks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat. We catch anything in the Death Hole today?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? There's no way he could've been in there. He moved away after fifth grade!

* Click on "END" on the cassette at the end to see a T-shirt for [[Cool Tapes]].

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Trivia===
*The crowd cheering sound effect is taken from the end of [[Everybody to the Limit (Live)]].

===Remarks===
*This is the first time Marzipan's teeth are shown.
*None of the paint remains on Homestar's face after he removes the cool shades.
*Paint appears to drip from Homestar's glasses into his mouth.
*Strong Mad's bass doesn't appear to be plugged into an amp.
*The tape at the end is the same shade of yellow as the yellow highlights that appear around buttons when the Tab key is pressed, slightly obscuring the Easter egg highlight over "The" and completely obscuring the highlight over "End." Since the tape was grey during the song, this may have been intentional.
*When Marzipan is playing guitar, it sounds like it's distorted, yet it's never been said that Carol is an electric-acoustic.

===Goofs===
*When Marzipan closes her eyes and sings "...a bag of four graaaaapes!", you can see her closed eyes distort for a brief moment. This is because she and Homestar always blink every three seconds, and with her eyes closed, she attempts to blink over her closed eyes.
**This also happens if you pause the toon while her eyes are closed.
*The amp that is behind Marzipan when she's about to play her song disappears in the next scene.
*The phrase "Cool Tapes" changes position slightly during the toon. To see this better, focus on the bottom of the "p" in "Tapes" and the lighter part of the yellow wall.
*When Homestar goes to return his cool shades to Bubs, in the second wide shot, Homestar is suddenly standing to the left of where he was in the first wide shot.
*With the Yella Shades on, the paint drips off the lens over his right eye, but the drops fall in front of the left side of the mouth.
*As he walks back from Bubs' with the bag of four grapes, Homestar's walkcycle doesn't quite fit the speed at which he is walking.
*The Cheat is not animated during the cymbal crash at the end of the song.
*Closer to the end of the song, The Cheat is hitting his snare drum, but the sound produced is that of a low tom drum.

===Inside References===
*The show Strong Bad is watching is the "killer truck" show The Cheat watched in [[privileges]].
*The amps that Marzipan plays through are from [[different town]].
*Strong Mad playing the bass was mentioned in [[guitar]], but this is the first time we've actually seen it.
*Strong Sad patting his belly makes the same dodgeball noise it made in [[modeling]].
*Strong Sad mentions that he likes to talk to walls in his [[Strong Sad#Character Video Transcript|character video]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Pete_Sampras|Pete Sampras]] is a retired professional tennis player.
*"Stick it to the Man" and "Power to the People" were common phrases used during the Student Riots in the 1960s and '70s.
*Strong Mad's bass is the same shape as a [[Wikipedia:Hofner|Hofner]] 500/1 [http://www.edromanguitars.com/guitar/hofner/hof_models/hof_basses.htm violin bass], the same kind [[Wikipedia:Paul_McCartney|Paul McCartney]] plays.
*The amplifiers that they play with very closely resemble [[Wikipedia:Marshall_Amplifiers|Marshall Amps]].

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Contributor" as "ContribuTOR" and "OH" as "hhhough"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityyyy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply entitled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

*While on the poster, click '[[Dangeresque]]: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
*Each quote is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and so forth.
*The frozen pond that Dangeresque falls into in the Easter egg may be the same [[The Pond|pond]] from [[lures & jigs]] from another angle.
*A [[Rock Opera (karaoke)|karaoke]] video was released for the Rock Opera on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Strong Bad Email DVD]].

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
*Strong Bad ''did'' back down from a bad idea in [[other days]], when he decided not to speak the entire email as a robot.
*The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.

=== Goofs ===
*You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
*When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy's screen.
*When The Cheat throws a rose in Strong Bad's face, it hits his left eye. However, when Strong Bad starts freaking out about it, the rose is on his right eye.
*When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
**Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's head and shirt; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the shirt.
**There's a similar situation with Strong Mad's left arm and Homsar's hat and head.
*When Strong Bad walks, one of the signs says "No for Rent," instead of "Not for Rent".
**"No for Rent" may be a reference to what [[Jhonka]] says at a certain point in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*In [[trevor the vampire]], when Strong Bad goes up to the screen and says "Hi, everybody," his eyes were given the newer style. However, in the opera, the same scene was shown, but his eyes were still the old style.
*When the word "metal" zooms out towards the screen passing in front of Strong Bad, his mouth appears on top of the word instead of behind it.
*The word ''crackin'' isn't actually said in [[fingers]], though it does appear on Strong Bad's screen.
**Given the opera is just sound bites from the different emails the word probably was recorded, but it wasn't in the final cut.
*If you play the opera again (via the "ENCORE!" in the corner), a slight bit of the audio for the part afterwards will play.

*Sbemail, in containing multiple sections of different styles, is remiscent of rock operettas, including The Who's "A Quick One, While He's Away" and (more famously) Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (which isn't technically a rock opera, but ''is'' featured in the Queen rock opera, "We Will Rock You," along with over 30 other songs, showing in London and Las Vegas).
*Strong Bad's rap at the beginning of the e-mail may be a reference to Missy Elliott's "Work It," where she says "I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup I!"
*Strong Bad walking towards the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie cliché when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I—people think I—they just flipped the audio track when I really said—

'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —that, live.

'''MIKE:''' —introducing you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!

'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this is—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He's gonna be—he's gonna being doing the commentary with me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is By-The-Book Mike, over here, this guy—

'''MIKE:''' We have—we've gotta do things by the rules.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, since—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good comment team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did you do these drawings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did. Look, I've even got—

'''MIKE:''' These-they're bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' They're bad drawings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.

'''MIKE:''' Tomp—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't—don't get up to higher voices.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!

'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, so which email is this we're doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, rock opera. So this was—

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.

'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I guarantee it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b—lightbulb in my mouth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect—

'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants—those are some—

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tale. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.

'''MIKE:''' That is—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!

'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —video.

'''MIKE:''' —gettin' in on the action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.

'''MIKE:''' You can—you can tell.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—I think I was calling... all cars.

'''MIKE:''' What do you call—what's that girl's name?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.

'''MIKE:''' Cyn—''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL—

'''STRONG BAD:'''Uh—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}''—on that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going—

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Fair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Fair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—

'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Checkin' email and take it to the flipside! !edispilf eht ot ti ekat dna liame 'nikcehC

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: rock opera</div>
Strong Bad, 
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You 
simply owe it to society. What should it be about? 
That's up to you. 
Best Wishes, 
Anonymous Contributor 
Gambier, OH</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Contributor" as "ContribuTOR" and "OH" as "hhhough"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityyyy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply entitled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bravo! Encore! Encore! Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba! ''{typing}'' Thank you! Thank you! Yes, the rave reviews are already pouring in. It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws his rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! ''{He clutches his face and starts flailing his limbs wildly.}'' Rose face! ROSE FACE!!! ''{He falls off his stool.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

*Strong Bad walking towards the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie cliché when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').

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

'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I-people think I-they just flipped the audio track when I really said-

'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' -that, live.

'''MIKE:''' -introducing you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!

'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this is-

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He's gonna be-he's gonna being doing the commentary with me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is By-The-Book Mike, over here, this guy-

'''MIKE:''' We have-we've gotta do things by the rules.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, since-

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good comment team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did you do these drawings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did. Look, I've even got-

'''MIKE:''' These-they're bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' They're bad drawings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.

'''MIKE:''' Tomp-

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't-don't get up to higher voices.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!

'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, so which email is this we're doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, rock opera. So this was-

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.

'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So you-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I guarantee it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b-lightbulb in my mouth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect-

'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants-those are some-

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tale. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.

'''MIKE:''' That is-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!

'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini-there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this-

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's-

'''STRONG BAD:''' -video.

'''MIKE:''' -gettin' in on the action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.

'''MIKE:''' You can-you can tell.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for-I think I was calling... all cars.

'''MIKE:''' What do you call-what's that girl's name?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.

'''MIKE:''' Cyn-''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said-

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL-

'''STRONG BAD:'''Uh-

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}''-on that-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going-

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti-

'''STRONG BAD:''' -until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Fair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Fair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha-

'''MIKE:''' You didn't-you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

[[Image:Jolly_Dumple.PNG|thumb|The Jolly Dumple]]

'''The Jolly Dumple''' is the mascot for the [[Crazy Go Nuts University]] Golf Club Team. He appears in the email [[mascot]], and on a (now discontinued) T-shirt. He could have been named The Jolly Dumpling, but [[Strong Bad]] was really hungry at the time he created the mascot and couldn't think straight. He is played by [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]].

It appears to be a dumpling wearing a tri corner hat, with a drop of saliva flying out of its mouth.

[[Image:sbemail33.PNG|thumb| Spontaneous explosion! ]]

'''Strong Bad Email #33'''

Mike W. misses the days that Strong Bad would answer emails without some sort of gimmick. Then Strong Bad's computer explodes.

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

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' June 24, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:15

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Super great, super great... Check your email! Diggity...

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Do you remember when you would answer emails and 
be funny without some sort of gimmick? I do, I miss 
those days. 
 
With a lot of crap, 
 
Mike W 
Everett, MA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad prounounces MA as "ma."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yep. I remember those days, Mike. Those were good days... ''{sniffs}'' good days. ''{The email shrinks to the center of the screen with a powering-down noise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Mutters}'' What the...crap? ''{The monitor sparks sharply}'' Whoa! Whgjht?

''{silence}''

''{The computer spontaneously explodes in Strong Bad's face covering his head in soot and ash. He flies across the room screaming, and breaks through the wall into Strong Sad's room. He groans and opens his eyes and sees Strong Sad standing above him upside down.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, jeez! Are you okay?

''{Strong Bad stands up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, yeah, no, I'm fine! ''{brushes burnt wrestling mask parts backwards}'' Nothing happened; I'm fine!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did your terrible computer explode?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, shut up! Look, I'm gonna need to borrow like nine hundred dollars.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well I hope that's for a new computer. You could get one like yours at a garage sale for like... fifteen dollars.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I SAID SHUT UP!!! ''{sulkily}'' I ''liked'' that computer.

''{Strong Bad walks through the wall back to his room.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...I hope some of that money's for buying me a new poster. You don't seem too broken up about that.

''{Cut to what's left of the Tandy 400. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of the email, you can click on the contrast buttons to make the broken monitor spark and flash. Pressing the left contrast button after the computer has exploded causes the whole Flash screen to flash white except for The Paper, the back button, the contrast buttons (and their shadows), and a small black shard of the screen on the lower right side. Pressing the right contrast button after the computer has exploded causes the green wire to spark.

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*This, obviously, is the beginning of the end of the Tandy 400.
*When you pause during the explosion, you can see that the "explosion" is just glass shards overlapped on the screen.
*When Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad, his mouth seems unusually small.
*The spinning fan inside the exploded Tandy at the end doesn't seem to be attached to anything else, and is just floating in midair.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Tandy 400 Exploding.png|thumb| Misplaced head and glass shards. ]]
*When you click the left contrast button at the end of the email, the rainbow star logo briefly disappears, along with the word "Contrast."
*When the Tandy explodes, Strong Bad's reflection is incorrect. It is located at the top of the computer screen, at the same angle the computer is.
*When Strong Bad is flying through the air and crashes into the wall, where Strong Sad's room's wall meets the floor, the bottom-left corner of it protrudes more than it should.
*As Strong Bad is flying, the last thing you see in the background is a door. When he is in Strong Sad's room, the last thing before the wall is now a window.

===Real-World References===
*The opening song is a parody of the song [[Wikipedia:Super Freak|"Super Freak"]] by [[Wikipedia:Rick James|Rick James]].
*As Strong Bad flies across the room, he passes the same door and window several times. Repeating backgrounds are common in cheap cartoons made for TV like those produced by [[Wikipedia:Cartoon Network Studios|Hanna-Barbera]].
*The poster on Strong Sad's wall is a picture of [[Wikipedia:Dream (DC Comics)|Morpheus]] from [[Wikipedia:Neil Gaiman|Neil Gaiman's]] "[[Wikipedia:The Sandman (DC Comics Modern Age)|Sandman]]" series.

===Fast Forward===
*This is the first instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*This email would later appear in [[personal favorites]].
*The gear and fan would appear inside the shotgunned [[Compy 386]] in [[virus]].

== DVD Version ==
*Instead of clicking on the contrast buttons to make pieces of the computer short-circuit/explode, the malfunctions happen without user interaction.

Marzipan and Strong Bad's parties just happen to fall on the same day, but Strong Bad's seems to fall apart...

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The King of Town]]

'''Page Title:''' The Luau

== 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:}''

<pre>You're invited to
a Meatless Luau!

featuring:
Ancient Hawaiian Poetry
read by Strong Sad
accompanied by
Marzipan on her Ukelele
(pronounced oo-koo-lay-lay)

When: TODAY Where: MARZIPAN'S</pre>

''{Eventually the card spins out, revealing a banner reading "Aloha!" Marzipan is walking to some cooking tofu.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-lay-lay. 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!!

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

'''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 hoard 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 come monitor this tofu. I have to tune my oo-koo-lay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, a doo doo, a 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 ka 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.}'' Soooo... Huh! Boooooooooring.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's roast, where at least seven bent 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 wanna catch fire. Hello, my name is little MATCH, and I don't wanna MAKE a fire! ''{completely aggravated}'' HELLOOOO! MY NAME IS FIRE, AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY!!!!!

''{Strong Bad kicks a log at the viewer. Homestar then walks onto the scene.}''

'''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 I know a guy who—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man, I just got 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:''' 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 got like, four hundred pounds!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walking by, humming, then looks at Strong Bad.}'' 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 ==

===Trivia===
*Among the phrases of "Polynesian Prose" that Strong Sad recites are "[[Wikipedia:Kahlua|Kahlua]] and Creme," an alcoholic drink, and "Meka Leka Hi Meka Heiny Ho." These were Jambi's magic words on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-wee's Playhouse]].
*This 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," misspelling "you're." This is ironic since Strong Bad has a penchant for scoffing at spelling and grammar mistakes when checking his email.
**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 Bad uses matches to try to light the fire, perhaps because he doesn't have the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Strong Mad's logo on his chest is slightly different from the previous toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]].

===Goofs===
*When Coach Z turns his head, his "Crap for brains" name tag is reversed.

===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 tune from when everybody is running is from old Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

===Fast Forward===
*The phrase "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" would be used again on [[personal favorites]] and [[Main Page 22]].

''{typing}'' Oh, Shanama, the story of the colonization of Strong Badia is a tale as old as, say, the wireless Web ''{pause}'' or energy drinks maybe. It began in a period of strife...

''{Cut to a shot of an old book on a wooden table. It is open and pictures Strong Bad, in a pilgrim hat, squirting ketchup onto a plate of eggs, next to Strong Sad in a wig and typical 17th-century clothing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...when I was being persecuted for my beliefs.

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Ewwww! Ketchup on eggs?!?

''{A caption reading "Ewwww! Ketchup on Eggs?!?" appears beneath the picture. The page turns to show Strong Bad reading the newspaper and seeing an ad saying "LOT FOR SALE! along with a page saying "Homestar declares eggs not a fruit."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I learned of a place where a man can be free. Free to do what he wants to do. Free to ketchup his eggs without being hassled by the man.

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad and The Cheat, also wearing a pilgrim hat, travelling across Free Country, USA, Strong Bad carrying a musket and eating a sandwich and The Cheat dragging a bag along behind him. A caption along the bottom reads "The Three Stout Sub Sandwiches: The Ham 'n' Swiss, The Dijon Chicken and the Veggie Delux."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I set sail with three stout sub sandwiches, and my best The Cheat to find this mystical land.

''{The page turns to show the two of them meeting Bubs, who is waving at them, wearing a Sioux-style feather headband and wearing a loincloth.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I met a strange man who had strange ways and strange odors.

''{The page turns to show Strong Badia in front of a glorious sunrise, above a caption reading "The Neu Wirlde."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' And he led me to the new world, out beyond the dumpsters.

''{The page turns to show the Tire falling onto The Cheat, whose hat is sent flying from his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' There was a brief struggle with the indigenous peoples.

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad handing Bubs the rent check.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' At last, we reached an agreement to peacefully co-exist in this land, after I gave him my first and last months' rent deposit.

''{The page turns to show a ploughed field where Bubs is planting a fish. Strong Bad is looking at him, holding a fish and a corn cob in his hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Then the strange man probably showed me how to put fish in the ground with corn, for some reason.

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes!

''{A caption reading "This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes" appears at the bottom of the page. The page turns to show Bubs, The Cheat and Strong Bad sitting at a picnic table in Strongbadia, feasting on fast food.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Then we celebrated with a feast of some cold Hardee's he had laying around.

''{Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' So there you have it, Shana... Shanamana... ''{singing}'' Shanamanamanamanamana tonight! That shoulda been in your history books at school. I gotta get on those people over at Hoofton Mifflin. Those guys are slackin off. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so until next week, leave me alone!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After the email is over, click the first part of the word Shanamanamanamanana and Strong Bad will "Shanama" into some songs.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing to the tune of "O' Canada"}'' O Shanama... Do do doot doot doot doo... ''{stops singing}'' What else is there? Shana... Shanamatopoeia. Ooh, how 'bout this? ''{singing to the tune of "Panama" by Van Halen}'' Shanama! Shanama ho ho ho huh ho!
*Click on the the words "history books" to hear Homestar Runner address the imaginary masses.
::''{Cut to a page in a history book with a drawing of Homestar, dressed in Colonial American attire (with powdered wig), with text below it reading "Homestar Runner addresses the imaginary masses." The imaginary masses cheer.}''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-hem. From this day forward, I hearby declare eggs... not to be... a fruit! ''{The imaginary masses cheer.}'' Yes, yes, quiet down. And furthermore, no longer shall dirty diapers be accepted as legal tender! ''{The imaginary masses cheer.}'' Hang on, I got one more. Henceforth, those named Henry will no longer be allowed to call themselves Hank. That's just too much of a stretch. ''{The imaginary masses cheer.}''

'''Running Time:''' 3:41

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email, check it, come on, a-come on, y'all-a. Email check it, come on, a-come ''on'', y'all!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Overdue rampage</div>
Der Ong-stray Ad-bay, 
I thinks it's been entirely too long since you went on a 
rampage. 
Sincerely Peter,</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the misspelled "der". He also states "Sincerely Peter" as the closing greeting and "Comma" as the sender's name.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Epressing-day Erd-nay, I thinks it's been entirely too long since you consulted your M.L.A. handbook! ''{clears screen, returns typing}'' Eh, so maybe it has been a while since my last rampage. But that doesn't mean I'm goin' soft or nothin'. I've just grown more selective of the types of rampages on which I go. Like the other freakin' day: me and Strong Mad went on a Reading Rampage.

''{Strong Mad and Strong Bad are seen on The Couch with many books stacked around them. Strong Mad, wearing a pair of half-moon reading glasses, is holding a waffle that reads "BUG" in syrup, and Strong Bad reads "Smart Investing for Jerks". The waffle drips syrup onto the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this book really speaks to me. In like, ''{flips book upside-down}'' a couple of different languages, even.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS BOOK IS TOO LONG!

''{Back at the computer, Strong Bad keeps typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? It's not all rampage-stompin'-boy style rampages. The pie's the limit as far as rampages are concerned. Why, ye could go on a ''regal'' rampage.

''{Strong Bad appears in The King of Town's Castle, wearing a blanket around his neck, holding a scepter and wearing The King of Town's crown. The crownless King of Town stands nearby.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Whacking king with scepter}'' I bequeath thee! I bequeath thee! I bequeath thee!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{While getting whacked}'' Ow! Ow! One more!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising scepter}'' Ye hath quivered me tuppence!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Oops, you lost me!

''{Strong Bad whacks King with scepter two more times.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{While getting whacked}'' OW! OW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Voice-over}'' Ooh, ooh! Or how about a legal rampage?

''{Cut to the outside of Homestar's House, with Homestar peeking out the door and Strong Bad walking in in a business suit with a bunch of papers.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is a subpooena! ''{throws papers onto steps}'' I summons exhibit 4-B to my chambers!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sustained! ''{He pulls out judge's gavel and hits himself three times, accompanied by sound effects.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And don't forget the lyrical rampages me and Coach Z are ''always'' going on. Or more like, going OOORRRRFF! ''{The last word is said in a fake Coach Z accent.}''

''{Cut to the Stage, where Strong Bad and Coach Z are standing with microphones. Music is playing in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' I've got problems with my feet and my back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' I'm about to have a dope rhyme attack!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' Coach Z, rock all type of sports!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' And if you don't believe me, you can get with The Chort!

''{Cut to the Cheat, who is scratching on a children's record player. Then Strong Sad enters. The music screeches to a halt.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' May I please ask how repeating the same four words constitutes a lyrical rampage?

'''STRONG BAD:''' May ''I'' please ask how a round mound of gray fatness constitutes a younger brother? ''{Points at the audience.}'' I'm on a rampage!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But what about rules of verse? Iambic pentameter is where it's at! Hit it, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angrily}'' Meh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I dunno, drop some beats or something.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, they're gonna have to be fat beats in your case. Go ahead, The Cheat. Let's witness the whiteness.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

''{The Cheat starts the record player—playing a very childish "beat".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The ''quill!'' The ''page!'' Ly-''ric,'' ram-''page!'' Umm... Word ''up?''

''{Strong Bad and Coach Z snicker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that was great, Strong Sad. I didn't know you was hard! ''{pronounced "hawd"}'' Remind me again: what part of the streets are you from, exactly? ''{He snickers again.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You're a real MC, Strong Sad! ''Master of ceremonies!''

''{Coach Z and Strong Bad laugh for a moment, until Strong Bad realizes what was just said.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er, wait...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Forget you guys! It went over great at my Poetry Slam!

''{Cut to the side of Bubs' Concession Stand, which still has the comedy club decorations, but has a banner marked "Poetry Slam" in front of them. Strong Sad stands by the microphone, while silhouettes of Marzipan and Homsar are in the foreground.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The ''quill!'' The ''page!'' Ly-''ric,'' ram-''page!'' Word ''up?''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good style there, Strong Sad! Geoff Chaucer would be would be  proud!

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Caramel corn for president, please!

''{Cut back to the Stage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, run along, DJ Dumpy Dump! We gotta get back to rampagin'!

'''COACH Z:''' 'Ey, maybe we should start calling you "SS"! For ''Strong Sad!'' ''{He laughs maniacally.}''

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat stare at Coach Z increduously.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Coach Z}'' What is wrong with you?

''{The beat starts again.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm bad at abbreviations!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're on a rampage?

'''COACH Z:''' The number one jam on all the stations! ''{Strong Bad's boxing gloves move in a jazzy motion, then his head does.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ya see Comma, ''{He pronounces both the name "Comma" and the actual comma.}'' you can still hurt people and their feelings with all manner of different rampages. Until next time, bailiff, I'll be in my chambers. I mean, The Cheat, I'll be in my office... which is this room. ''{quickly}'' So, I'll be right here.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of the e-mail, click on "rampages" for a parody of the classic video game ''[[Wikipedia:Rampage_%28arcade_game%29|Rampage]]'', published by Bally Midway in 1986. In this, a The Cheat-like monster runs across the screen holding underpants. After some time, Strong Mad runs on the screen and a speech bubble over his head says "MY PANTIES! MY PANTIES!". It reappears after a while.
**The Cheat appears to be an altered George sprite from the game. George was a giant gorilla very similar to King Kong and it could be noted that he used his arm furthest from the player to aid him in walking, just as The Cheat does.
*Also at the end, click on "chambers" to see the poster for ''[[Litigation Jackson]] 2: Legal Rampage''.
*Again at the end, click on "different" to see the cover of the Strong Sad CD "Witness the Whiteness". The sub-title is "Spoken word ... is bond!" In addition, there is a "Parental Advisory" warning that the CD is "Very Boring". Unlike other CD-related Easter eggs, this one does not play a song when clicked.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The phrases "Ong-stray Ad-bay" and "epressing-day erd-nay" are of a fake language called [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]]. Translated, Peter said "Strong Bad," and Strong Bad said "depressing nerd."
*The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers is a guide for punctuation, quotation, and documentation of sources published by the ''[http://www.mla.org/ Modern Language Association]''. It is the most popular standard for academic writing.
*Shortly after referring to the MLA Handbook, Strong Bad writes, "I've just grown more selective of the types of rampages on which I go." The slightly odd phrasing at the end of the sentence ("on which I go" rather than the more natural "which I go on") pokes fun at a rule of formal writing (as the MLA explains) that no sentence should end with a preposition. In the very next sentence, however, Strong Bad employs a grossly ungrammatical construction using the object pronoun case "me and Strong Mad..." (instead of the required subject pronoun case "Strong Mad and I..."), and later "me and Coach Z...."
*Definitions of Strong Bad's "regal" language:
**''[http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=bequeath&x=12&y=15 bequeath]'': verb, To leave or give (personal property) by will. To pass (something) on to another; hand down.
**''[http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=quiver quiver]'': 1. verb, To shake with a slight, rapid, tremulous movement. 2. noun, a case for carrying arrows. 3. noun, the arrows in a quiver.
**''[http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=tuppence tuppence]'': noun, British variant of twopence, or two pennies. Esp. in [[Wikipedia:British coinage|pre-decimal coinage]].

*Strong Sad mentions [[Wikipedia:Iambic pentameter|iambic pentameter]], which is a syllable pattern used in poetry. An iamb is a pair of syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed. Iambic pentameter is five iambs per line. Strong Sad says "The ''quill!'' The ''page!'' Ly-''ric,'' ram-''page!'' Word ''up?''" in exaggerated iambic pentameter. Note that "lyric" and "rampage" are normally pronounced with the first syllable accented, so Strong Sad's line is not truly iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter was popular with such poets as [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]] and [[Wikipedia:Geoffrey Chaucer|Geoffrey Chaucer]], and was for a long time the standard English meter.

*The Cheat is using a [[Wikipedia:Battle records|battle record]], which is a vinyl record made up of samples and simple drum loops (like Strong Sad's "do—doodoo" beat). They're used by DJ's, primarily for scratching. When the records are scratched, or spun at different RPMs, the simple "do do" beats produce the more familiar "phat" sounds (like Strong Bad and Coach Z's beats).

=== Trivia ===
*Reading Rampage book titles:
**Sweatshirtguy
**The R in Routine
**Soup, Right?
**Brown Story
**Biscuit
**Smart Investing for Jerks
**Strong Mad's 'BUG' Waffle

=== Remarks ===
*Marzipan seems to stutter uncharacteristically during the phrase "would be proud."
*After he stops speaking, Homsar's hat still hovers in mid-air instead of returning to his head.
*It's interesting that Strong Bad advises Peter to consult his "M.L.A. handbook"; if he'd checked his own, he would have seen that the [[Wikipedia:Modern Language Association|MLA]] doesn't use periods when it refers to itself.
*Ironically, while Strong Sad glorifies iambic pentameter, his creation is a pretty bad example of it. He twists the stresses on "lyric rampage," properly pronounced LY-ric RAM-page (a pair of [[Wikipedia:Trochee|trochees]]), into ly-RIC ram-PAGE (a pair of iambs).
*Notice Strong Bad's word flow: ''reading, regal, legal, lyrical''.

=== Inside References ===
* The book "The R in Routine" and Strong Mad chasing The Cheat (who has Strong Mad's "panties"), are references to [[morning routine]].
* "Poetry Slam" is the title of Strong Sad's character page.
* The glasses Strong Mad is wearing are from his costume in the [[Email Processing Room]].
* In the Rampage easter egg, The Cheat looks like the [[Strong Badman]] The Cheat from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook feature]].
*[[Litigation Jackson]] is a reference to a film advertisment and sponsor in the beginning of the toon [[A Decemberween Pageant]].

=== Real-World References ===
* The parental advisory on Strong Sad's CD is a parody of the advisories found on music albums containing explicit lyrics or otherwise offensive content. Parental Advisory labels became required by most record companies in America following the 1985 "Porn Rock" congressional hearings spearheaded by the [[Wikipedia:Parents Music Resource Center|Parents Music Resource Center]] (PMRC), led by Tipper Gore.
* The Cheat uses an old '80s Fisher-Price record player to "drop some beats." The drum beats he plays to back Strong Sad are from a Yamaha PSS-180 home keyboard's "custom drummer" section.
*"Smart Investing for Jerks" is a parody of the numerous [[Wikipedia:...For Dummies|...For Dummies]] books.
* "Geoff Chaucer" refers to [[Wikipedia:Geoffrey Chaucer|Geoffrey Chaucer]], a 14th century English poet famous for [[Wikipedia:The Canterbury Tales|The Canterbury Tales]].
* Strong Bad calling Strong Sad DJ Dumpy Dump is a reference to the rapper [[Wikipedia:Humpty Hump|Humpty Hump]], who Coach Z dressed up as for Halloween.

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

'''MATT:''' Hey guys. Email checker c'mon and c'mon, y'all.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhh, gosh.

'''MATT:''' What was that a reference to, Mike, do you remember?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, a rap song you made in college called "The All-Star Rapper".

'''MATT:''' That's right. "I'm a star rapper c'mon an' come on, y'all."

...411...

That's from high school.

That's a good one.

Do you, um, do you write those in advance, or do you just, whatever? Do you just freak from your head?

'''MATT:''' The Strong Bad—I can do that. ''{laughter}'' You know, I'm sorry, but that's just how I do it.

No disrespect.

'''MATT:''' Uh, remember, Mike, we discussed making an Easter egg that was a reference to Reading Rainbow, but it was, like, Reading Rampage instead? It was the beginning of a show: "Take a look! It's in a book! Reading Rampage!"

'''MIKE:''' ''{regarding the email}'' There was a story there called Brown Story.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' I would like to know what Brown Story is all about.

'''MIKE:''' ''{also laughing}'' I don't know if I do.

That looks like the Fisher Price, um,—

'''MATT:''' Flute?

—magic wand.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I was gonna say yeah, it was musical, right?

I love that he has a jacket on here.

'''MIKE:''' That's a bad sound effect, actually.

Yeah.

No, it's good.

'''MIKE:''' It's uh, we don't use it so much anymore. It's one of the very cartoony sound effects that we used to use.

It's reverb on the wrought iron.

You've gotta like it when Coach Z raps.

Yeah. You've got—

I like the old record player.

The Fisher Price record player?

I like, though, that, that Coach Z is smart enough to rhyme with his own mispronunciations.

''{laughter}''

Exactly.

He's, he's uh, very clever about it

'''MATT:''' I remember taking, I took a, I was just take a Fisher Price record player to college with me and not have a stereo and just listen to vinyl, and then I realized that the needle, or something with it, like, unless you were listening to, like, really slow stuff or jazz, it just couldn't handle it. I remember trying to listen to some Steel Pole Bath  Tub ''{laughs}'' in my dorm room, and it was just skipping all over the place; the needle couldn't handle the grooves.

'''MIKE:''' It didn't approve.

Was not hi-fi.

...approve of the groove.

'''MIKE:''' Does it say anything on that 45? I don't even remember.

'''MATT:''' Uhhhh.

'''MIKE:''' Or is it just scribbles?

'''MATT:''' Let's see, I think it looked like scribbles.

Is, was that iambic pentameter?

'''MATT:''' It was. I looked it up; I did extensive research to make sure I was accurate.

What's that, ends of the lines? How does it—

Yeah, it's like, two-word couplets,—

Five syllable...

—two-syllable coup—five two-syllable couplets, I guess.

With the second syllable being stressed.

'''MATT:''' Right. Iambs.

'''MIKE:''' Right. Yeah. Exactly. Pentameter. Five iambs.

'''JONATHAN:''' You researched that better than I researched the, uh, spelling of MLA.

''{laughing}'' At the beginning.

That's all right.

Yeah, Jonathan did the, um, he moved Strong Bad's head around and did the, uh, typing animation, um, for this email.

That's right.

Pretty exciting.

He hasn't done it since.

Yeah.

''{laughter}''

'''JONATHAN:''' I've been asked to go home on Sunday nights.

''{big laughter at the email}''

That's a rare example of Coach Z laughing.

I like Coach Z laughing a lot.

I like it when Strong Bad goes, "What is wrong with you?"

He's obviously having a problem making jokes.

Yeah.

Ryan—

'''RYAN:''' Hi guys.

—we'd like you to take this one home for us.

Yeah, finish it off!

'''RYAN:''' I'll be, I'll be... here.

''{laughter}''

[[Image:BisCasFri3.JPG|thumb|"Back up my files? Are you kidding? Is that a real thing you have to do?"]]
Puppet Homestar forwards an email with a three gig attachment to the entire company, and their families, and their high school friends. Puppet Strong Bad's computer starts smokin' and shakin' like a cat on fire. Falling from an airplane.

Strong Bad is wearing his customary Friday shirt, and The Cheat has on a tie. Smoke is coming out of the computer.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning squeaks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't ''do'' anything. I just turned it on, tried to check my email, and then it started smokin' and shakin' it like it was Friday night.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{squeaks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back up my files? Are you kidding? Is that a real thing you have to do? I always thought that that was just like... you know, a figure of speech.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning squeaks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno, like "Wake up and smell the coffee," or "See ya later, alligator!"

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{squeaks angrily and leaves}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great. Now my computer's dead. This almost never happenes to me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enters room}'' What's up, my homie? Ew, what's that smell? Did Mancuso at Accounting put his three-hole punch in the microwave again? That guy sucks.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, not yet. So, did you get that email that I forwarded to everyone in the company, and their families, and their high school friends?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. Can't you see my computer and I are having domestic problems?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. You should check it out right now. It has a three gig hilarious file attachment attached to it. It's one of the funniest emails I've forwarded this week.

'''STRONG BAD:''' A three gig attachment? Oh, no wonder!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' When you get that mess fixed, check out that attachment. The file's called ''{The words of the file appears on the screen as Homestar says them}'' catonfire_fallingfromanairplane.exe. I not gonna tell you what it is, but trust me you ''got'' to check it out. I was R.O.T.F. all over the place when I saw that. Anyways, I'm gonna go see what Gunderson thought of it. That guy doesn't suck. See ya later, alligator. ''{Homestar leaves}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, back up your files. ''{He presses a key, and the computer explodes, leaving only ashes where it was}'' Wah! That was the worst computer explosion I've ever seen! Is there anything I can salvage? Eh... I think I can see some of the third-quarter analysis spreadsheet in there. Oh! Is that my buddy list? I gotta back that up! ''{Strong Bad pulls out a folder and begins scooping the ashes into it. He begins muttering}'' Sweep some of this in here... my buddy list... The Cheat, Strong Mad...

''{"end."}''

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Bad's Basement]], [[The Field]]

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

'''Running Time:''' 2:32

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Let's check a Strong Bad E-mail, you and me. Together. Like we used to. Like a family. ''{hits Enter; the e-mail appears}''

''{reading}''

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

''{he sees there is no signature}''

Aw, man! Another one of those "no-name brand" e-mails. Ah, let's see. Who are you from? You're from... ''{typing signature}'' Mike ''{pause}'' Control.

''{rapping}''

Here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.
Chiggity here come Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.
Miggity here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing}'' Which says he's a 43-year-old Scandinavian miner named Ilko Skevüld. The festivities usually begin when ''{cut to Strong Bad sleeping on couch; voiceover continues}'' The Cheat wakes me up around the crack of noon, and I'll sing him the Date of Birth song.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pokes Strong Bad and sings "rise and shine" in The Cheat sounds}''

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

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{He pokes Strong Bad and sings "rise and shine" in The Cheat sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right, right. ''{He clears his throat.}''

''{singing}''

Sweet, sweet The Cheat
Today is the day on your fake I.D.

''{Bubs appears from behind the couch, playing a keytar.}''

Now, get upstairs—unh!
And fix me some breakfast.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Bad gets up, and The Cheat takes his place. The Cheat "reads" each e-mail, and his response, with a few syllables each in his squeaky, incomprehensible voice.}''

'''THE CHEAT:'''

''{reading}''

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

''{typing}''

Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off.

''{typing}''

Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off.
- Teh C.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apparently recovering from laughing}'' O-ho, man! "I'll gnaw your face off"! ''{The Cheat grins}'' Every year it gets funnier! Ohhh! ''{He regains his composure.}'' Happy The Cheat day, Ilko! May you never get the black lung.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on the nameless e-mail to bring up a box of No-Name Brand E-mails.
* Click on The Cheat at the end to bring up Ilko's head moving from left to right, with his mouth opening and shutting, along with the rhythm of a train bell sound.
* Click on the floppy disks on the left to bring up a demo tape:

:Coach Z & Bubs's Demo Tape
:"the two-o duo"

:''{singing}''
:'''COACH Z:''' Well we're good friends.
:'''BUBS:''' But don't you steal my napkins.
:'''COACH Z:''' I got fresh jams.
:'''BUBS:''' But I get all the royalties.
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking}'' I never agreed to that.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The name "Mike Control" is apparently a reference to the notion of a "microphone controller," one possible expansion of the abbrevation MC (as in MC Hammer).

===Remarks===
*The [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] refers to The Cheat's Cheatday party as his "birthday party."
*Strong Bad said nobody knows when The Cheat's Cheatday is, though almost every character witnessed the event in [[flashback]]. (Assuming that The Cheat was "born" from the egg. Technically, we don't know ''how'' he got inside it.)
*You can click on the Ilko Easter egg after you've clicked on the floppy disk Easter egg to give the demo tape some funny background music.
*It's possible that Ilko being a "miner" is a play on the fake ID being to persuade people that The Cheat ''isn't'' a '''minor'''.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Potate]]" bag is from [[morning routine]].

'''Strong Bad Email #107'''

Someone asks what Strong Bad does on the Cheat's Birthday: 'The Cheatday'.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Bad's Basement]], [[The Field]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

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

'''Running Time:''' 2:32

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Let's check a Strong Bad E-mail, you and me. Together. Like we used to. Like a family. ''{hits Enter; the e-mail appears}''

''{reading}''

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

''{he sees there is no signature}''

Aw, man! Another one of those "no-name brand" e-mails. Ah, let's see. Who are you from? You're from... ''{typing signature}'' Mike ''{pause}'' Control.

''{rapping}''

Here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.
Chiggity here come Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.
Miggity here comes Mike, he's on the Mike... Control.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing}'' Which says he's a 43-year-old Scandinavian miner named Ilko Skevüld. The festivities usually begin when ''{cut to Strong Bad sleeping on couch; voiceover continues}'' The Cheat wakes me up around the crack of noon, and I'll sing him the Date of Birth song.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pokes Strong Bad and sings "rise and shine" in The Cheat sounds}''

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

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{He pokes Strong Bad and sings "rise and shine" in The Cheat sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right, right. ''{He clears his throat.}''

''{singing}''

Sweet, sweet The Cheat
Today is the day on your fake I.D.

''{Bubs appears from behind the couch, playing a keytar.}''

Now, get upstairs—unh!
And fix me some breakfast.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Bad gets up, and The Cheat takes his place. The Cheat "reads" each e-mail, and his response, with a few syllables each in his squeaky, incomprehensible voice.}''

'''THE CHEAT:'''

''{reading}''

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

''{typing}''

Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off.
- Teh C.

''{reading}''

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

''{typing}''

Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off.
- Teh C.

''{reading}''

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

''{typing}''

Yeah, man. I'll gnaw your face off.
- Teh C.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apparently recovering from laughing}'' O-ho, man! "I'll gnaw your face off"! ''{The Cheat grins}'' Every year it gets funnier! Ohhh! ''{He regains his composure.}'' Happy The Cheat day, Ilko! May you never get the black lung.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on the nameless e-mail to bring up a box of No-Name Brand E-mails.
* Click on The Cheat at the end to bring up Ilko's head moving from left to right, with his mouth opening and shutting, along with the rhythm of a train bell sound.
* Click on the floppy disks on the left to bring up a demo tape:

:Coach Z & Bubs's Demo Tape
:"the two-o duo"

:''{singing}''
:'''COACH Z:''' Well we're good friends.
:'''BUBS:''' But don't you steal my napkins.
:'''COACH Z:''' I got fresh jams.
:'''BUBS:''' But I get all the royalties.
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking}'' I never agreed to that.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The name "Mike Control" is apparently a reference to the notion of a "microphone controller," one possible expansion of the abbrevation MC (as in MC Hammer).

===Remarks===
*The [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] refers to The Cheat's Cheatday party as his "birthday party."
*Strong Bad said nobody knows when The Cheat's Cheatday is, though almost every character witnessed the event in [[flashback]]. (Assuming that The Cheat was "born" from the egg. Technically, we don't know ''how'' he got inside it.)
*You can click on the Ilko Easter egg after you've clicked on the floppy disk Easter egg to give the demo tape some funny background music.
*It's possible that Ilko being a "miner" is a play on the fake ID being to persuade people that The Cheat ''isn't'' a '''minor'''.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Potate]]" bag is from [[morning routine]].
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling|couch mumbling]].

===Real-World References===

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, if I had a nickel for every email I get, I would throw them at people in the food court. From that railing, like up above.

''{Starts reading with "Da da da—"}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Dude, who cuts your hair? It's 
sooo coull. I can't decide what to 
do with mine, any suggestions? 
 
Harry Earlenmacherg 
Düsseldorf</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "coull" just like it is spelled, and in place of "Earlenmacherg," he says "ergonomics."}''

''{typing}'' I got no hair, Düsseldörke, so I'm gonna have to reach on this one. Now who's got hair around here?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo. Strong Bad is holding scissors.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' You gotta be kidding me.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Poopsmith in the field. The Poopsmith points to one of his hairs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Never mind.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm growing it out for charity.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The King of Town by the castle.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nobody touches the 'stache!

''{Cut to close up of Homestar. He's got an angry look on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' N O spells no!

''{Fade back to show that Homestar is off by himself, talking to no one, while Strong Bad and the King of Town are in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't even ask you, baldy!

''{Homestar looks shocked. Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is a weave.

''{Cut back to Strong bad at the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Sorry Ger-man. Looks like I can't practice my barber wizardry, or barbzerdry as I call it, on anybody around here. So, I guess you're on your own. I ghe

''{Widen to show Strong Mad standing next to Strong Bad. Strong Mad has a box that says GLUTEMATES (BOX OF 6) very faintly.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAKE IT DANCE! MAKE IT PRANCE!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I'll make that cardboard box dance and prance later, big guy. I'm in the middle of...

''{Zoom in on Strong Mad's eye brows.}''

Ah ha! Pay dirt!

''{A camera flash goes off and the screen goes white. Fade back to Strong Bad at the Compy. An instant camera type photo of Strong Mad is taped to Compy. It develops as Strong Bad talks.}''

Okay, now that I have Strong Mad's image...um...scanned in to the computer, I'll use my cutting art, state of the edge technology to simulate different hairstyles. On his eyebrows. I'll just get out my "LIGHT PEN" here.

''{Strong Bad's hand comes up. He has a marker and starts to draw on the picture.}''

First, for the Strong Mad who's out on the prowl, no woman can resist the distinguished grace of what I like to call: The "Gentleman Caller."

''{Strong Bad draws gentleman-like eyebrows. "Gentleman Caller" flashes on the screen.}''

Or,

''{Strong Bad wipes picture clean. We zoom in a bit on the picture.}''

Experience the lightning brows of "Jagged Metal."

''{Strong Bad draws lightning-type eyebrows. "Jagged Metal" flashes on the screen.}''

Oh, and he's definitely going to need a guitar.

''{Draws a guitar. It ends up in the middle of Strong Mad's face.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I DON'T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're not eating it... You're shredding some hot licks...with your teeth.

''{Strong Bad makes a guitar noise as he draws a whammy bar on the guitar. He then wipes the picture clean.}''

Or experience the urban flavor of: "Hammer Pants."

''{He draws some funky eyebrows with a fade and adds a comic balloon pointing to Strong Mad's mouth that says "proper!" He then wipes the picture clean.}''

And for the Strong Mad who's not so concerned with attracting ladies: "Big Ol' Eyebrows."

''{He draws some big ol' eyebrows.}''

I should probably go ahead and give him some missing teeth...

''{He blackens Strong Mad's upper-right central incisor and upper-left cuspid.}''

Acne...

''{He draws spots on Strong Mad's face.}''

One of them butt chins.

''{He draws a cleft.}''

There we go. One hundred and ten percent lady-proof.

''{He wipes the picture clean. He then draws a dog and a cat for eyebrows.}''

"A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows."

''{"A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows" flashes on the screen.}''

And a couple of muskrats.

''{He adds two muskrats. He then wipes the picture clean.}''

And don't forget: the "Ready for Primetime."

''{Draws a weird-looking character over Strong Mad's face. "Ready for Primetime" flashes on the screen.}''

Which I admit I got a little carried away with.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SWEETIE CAKES! SWEETIE CAKES!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweetie cakes? What are you ta— O-oh, yeah I guess it does look a little bit like one of them "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" guys.

''{He draws an "[[Eh! Steve]]"-esque character.}''

Eh! Greg.

''{He wipes the picture clean.}''

''{Strong Bad takes the picture down and starts typing.}''

So that gives you a lot to choose from, Deutschman. I think you could easily apply all my eyebrow style to your ''{pauses}'' headbrow style. So good luck witchasself. I have to use my "LIGHT PEN" on napping Strong Sad. Prreeow.

''{Strong Bad gets up and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "[[Strong Bad's School Of Barbzerdry|Barbzerdry]]" to see a piece of parchment about this obscure trade.
*At the end, click on "Deutschman" to see a comic book Cover.

*:''{cut to the basement. Strong Bad is behind the couch, holding up a cardboard box with "GLUTEMATES (box of 6)" printed on it. We can see Strong Mad standing in the foreground watching}''
*:'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing as he moves the box around}'' Doo dit doo doo! It's tough being a box! But I'm livin' it up! Livin' it up! Do dit do dit! Livin' it up! Do dit do dit do! Box!
*:'''STRONG MAD''': HOORAY FOR BOX!
**While Strong Bad is singing, you can click on the [[Limozeen]] poster in the top-right corner to hear Limozeen's version of the song.

*:'''STRONG SAD''': {murmuring in his sleep} Jokey Smurf... Brainy... Brainy Smurf... that Carpenter Smurf ... Watch out Julian Sands!

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker|"permanent" marker]] apparently isn't permanent at all, although permanent markers frequently rub off smooth surfaces, such as the Polaroid picture of Strong Mad.
*Strong Bad must have a pretty spiffy keyboard. He can umlaut his "O"s really quickly. Normally, one needs to change the language on your keyboard or hold down option. (ö).
**Also, he mispronounces his umlauted "U"s and "O"s.
*The font for the Deutschman comic book logo is the same as the one used for the words that flash on-screen when Homestar says Neva-Die in the e-mail [[car]].

===Inside References===
*The Deutschman comic book is published by [[Cheap as Free]]. The comic is a reference to [[superhero name]]. [[The Cheat]] appears on it in a cape and mask—another reference to "superhero name."

===Real-World References===
*In the "napping Strong Sad" Easter egg, when Strong Sad mentions "that Carpenter Smurf," he is probably referring to Handy Smurf but forgetting his name.
*Julian Sands is a British horror film actor.
*When Strong Bad draws the guitar on "jagged metal" Strong Mad and says that Strong Mad is playing the guitar with his teeth, he is making reference to when Jimi Hendrix gained notoriety playing "Wild Thing" with his teeth at the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969.
*"Ready for Primetime" may refer to "The Not Ready For Primetime Players," the name of the original cast of Saturday Night Live.
*When you zoom in on the comic book Easter egg where there is a picture of The Cheat, the price reads "$1.25". Below that, it reads in a smaller font "$8.00 CAN." This is probably a reference to the difference in value between U.S. and Canadian dollars (though it is not really ''that'' severe.) This comic book is modeled after Marvel Comics of the mid-to-late '90s.
*Hammer Pants is the nickname given to the balloony pants worn by rapper MC Hammer in the early '90s.
*Hammer Pants's eyebrow style was frequently seen on early '90s hip-hop stars, most notably, Vanilla Ice.
*The barbzerdry parchment references a grade-school rhyme about cutting in line: "No cuts, no butts, no coconuts."

===Fast Forward===
*The face that Strong Bad has drawn on Strong Sad in his sleep loosely resembles [[Tendafoot]], the elephant he draws in [[crying]] which he claims represents Strong Sad.
*Strong Bad's signoff here, "Preeow," is used in [[part-time job]] on the [[Mrs. Bennedetto|microwave]] at the end.
**It was also used by [[Marzipan]] in the e-mail [[garage sale]]
*The "[[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|Sweetie Cakes]]" character Strong Bad inadvertently creates in this email, [[Ready for Prime Time]], appears later in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].

"Someone" says he'll show Strong Bad a hot girl if he can get Bubs to give out some free lunch specials. Strong Bad switches it up a bit.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sings}'' Oh email, I'm gonna let you down easy... when I break up with you.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey Strong Bad, 
Get Bubs to give out free luncch 
specials and I'll show you a hot girl. 
 
Sincerly, 
Someone</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Hmm. Sounds like a solid deal!" after "hot girl." He pronounces "luncch" as "lunkich" and pronounces "sincerly" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I hate it when they don't put a name. And when they misspell "sincerely." "Luncch" doesn't bother me so much.

''{Strong Bad backspaces and erases the last two lines, then types out two new ones}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Keep on tranglin, 
Larry Pat</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well Larry, legend has it that Bubs has to give you a free lunch special if you can get him to say his name backwards - minus the first b. "Sbu." You have to get him to say, "Sbu." How hard could that be, right? I mean, I'm saying "sbu" all the time. This'll be a cakewalk. At least a sbu-walk.

''{Cut to Bubs's Concession Stand. A sign that reads "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice—Smoothies Too!" is hanging over the "Bubs Concession Stand" marquee. Bubs is inside holding a chicken in one arm and wiping it with a cloth. Strong Bad enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{sings}'' Shinin' up a chicken in the mo'nin', mo'nin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs... Read this sign for me. ''{holds up a sign}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{He squints at the sign, then reads slowly.}'' "Duck A L'Orange."

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{He spins the sign around and reads it. Indeed, it says, "Duck A L'Orange." He produces a walkie-talkie.}'' The Cheat, I thought I told you to make it say "sbu"!

''{The screen splits down the center. On the right is Strong Bad. On the left is The Cheat, who also has a walkie talkie and is sitting next to Strong Bad's computer. A piece of paper attached to the back wall says "Home Base" and has a Strong Badified skull and crossbones drawn on it.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' {assorted Cheat sounds}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you really want some duck a l'orange, huh? You know we can't afford to eat like that! ''{He looks to the side, then puts his hand near his mouth to hide his voice.}'' Aren't you a duck anyways?

'''THE CHEAT:''' {angry Cheat sounds}

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. You kinda remind me of a duck...

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. Strong Bad enters holding a mirror.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubbsie! Say your name into this mirror. ''{He holds up the mirror.}''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hold on. ''{He puts the mirror closer to Bubs's face.}'' Okay, say it again. Say it ''real'' clear this time.

'''BUBS:''' ''{slower}'' Buh-ubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this thing is worthless! ''{He smashes the mirror on the ground and walks away.}''

''{Fade to black again. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. This time, Coach Z is there ordering something.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down, a couple of egg rolls... ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and speaks forcefully.}'' ...and a cod plank platter!

'''BUBS:''' You got it!

''{Strong Bad walks up and throws a hose into the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting off to the side}'' All right, The Cheat! Crank it! ''{water starts pouring through the hose}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Can I help you?

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he's flooding you out. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out! 
''{They stop and stare at each other.}''

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm floo— 
''{They stop and stare at each other again, and Strong Bad puts his hand in front of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out until you say your name backwards minus the first B!

'''BUBS:''' Why are you trying to get me to say "sbu"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' THERE! You said it! Now you gotta give me a free lunch special!

'''BUBS:''' ''{shakes his head}'' No, no, no. Getting me to say my name backwards minus the B just makes me lose my super power!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What super power?

'''BUBS:''' Being able to fly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can fly?!

'''BUBS:''' Well... ''{He hangs his head down.}'' Not anymore I can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right.

'''BUBS:''' Eh, I never really used it all that much. Since I gained all this weight, I could really only hover a couple two or three inches above the ground anyways.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and looks around and speaks frantically.}'' Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter?!?

''{Back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm pretty sure Bubs is a big liar, but I did get him to say his name backwards minus the first B. So now you gotta show me a hot girl, Larry Pat. Or, buy me lunch. Or... whatever the deal was. I'll just go ahead and sit here and wait for the hot girl to appear on my screen, I guess. ''{stops typing, speaks quietly}'' Not like I got a whole lot else going on...mmm.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, the computer beeps and a new e-mail scrolls up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, an email!

''{Strong Bad reads the email, talking slowly and pronouncing each word just as it is written.}''

<blockquote class="email">Deur Strond bad, 
I hava a emau] n ow. Cheet helps. 
 
Stlong Mad 
 
''attachment''</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, looks like ol' Strong Mad has finally hit the Information Superhighway like a flaming sack o' crap. Oh, and there's an attachment! Maybe he sent me a picture of a hot girl. [[Image:dinosaurbreakfast.PNG|thumb|A fairly hot Brontosaurus.]]

''{Strong Bad double-clicks on the word "attachment" underneath the email. A very poorly drawn picture of a dinosaur standing by a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of orange juice, all in front of a volcano, pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' An MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus having breakfast. ''{ends monotone}'' Well... It's a fairly hot Brontosaurus anyhow! ''{talking softly}'' Well hey, what's happenin' Brontosaurus baby... What are you doing... OKAY I GOTTA GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

''{Strong Bad gets up and runs away.}''

*Click on the words "Larry, legend" to see a screenshot of the game ''Jordan vs. Bird: One-on-One'' for the NES.
*After the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''Bubs'' to see what became of Strong Bad's effort to flood the concession stand.
*Also after the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''liar'' to see Bubs hovering above the ground.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Offscreen}'' Oh man, that is so fake. Seriously. You can totally see the strings!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*When The Cheat is next to [[Compy 386]], it reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Kickin' Recipes For 
Duck A L'Orange 
 
- 1 orange duck 
- 2 oranges 
- 3 frenchies 
- 4 ovens 
- 5 heats 
- 6 coupons 
 
Go to Captain D's 
Order the Snow C 
Tell your friends 
really Duck A L' 
It'll work!</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*This is another case of [[Compy 386]] acquiring a mouse cursor, despite the fact that it does not have a mouse and no cursor is normally seen. There is the possibility that the cursor is being manipulated through the right-hand numeric keypad.
*The Brontosaurus has actually been renamed [[Wikipedia:Apatosaurus|Apatosaurus]].

===Goofs===
*The MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus eating breakfast is not affected by the contrast buttons. However, the screen behind it is.

===Inside References===
*The author of the email seems to be referring to the lunch specials at the end of [[no loafing]].
*The [[Cold One]] that The Cheat is lounging with in the Easter egg is a [[Coldson Lite]], first seen in [[labor day]].
*When The Cheat is lounging, he has the same expression on his face and is in the same position he had in [[privileges]].
*This e-mail marks the second time The Cheat has been mistaken for a bird of some kind, the other being in [[helium]], in which Homestar identified the floating, helium filled The Cheat as "an ugly bird."

===Real-World References===
*The "Larry, legend" Easter egg refers to [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]], a former player for the [[Wikipedia:Boston Celtics|Boston Celtics]]. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest [[Wikipedia:NBA|NBA]] players ever and is often referred to as "Larry Legend" by his fans.
*Getting Bubs to say his name backwards (minus the first 'B') sounds like a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Mr. Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]], a mischief-making villain from the Superman comics. In order to get the reality-warping imp to go back to his home dimension, Superman had to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards.
*In the background when The Cheat is lounging, you hear [[The Brothers Chaps]]' version of "[[Wikipedia:Music_of_Hawaii#Late_19th_and_early_20th_century|Aloha Oe]]," a popular Hawaiian tune.
*The [[Wikipedia:walkie-talkie|walkie-talkies]] used by Strong Bad and The Cheat are World War 2 portable radios.

===Fast Forward===
*The word "sbu" shows up in Strong Bad's list of 3-letter words in [[boring (really)#Fun Facts|boring (really)]].

Welcome to Joey's talk page. This is not the general help desk of the Wiki. If you need help, go to the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]] page or visit the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] and use the help desk there. If you absolutely need an answer from me or if you have comments, feel free to leave them below.

I've recently created a [[User:JoeyDay/talk archive|talk archive]] for old comment threads. If you came here looking for an old conversation, be sure to check there. Thanks.

==Fun Fact Confirmation Committee (FFCC)==

There are soo many incorrect fun facts out there that I think we need a committee divoted to removing said facts. Just by looking arround the random pages makes me want to hurl a brick through my screen. And, once these facts are removed someone just resertes them. Not only that, but people are removing fun facts that are perfectly acceptible. Its annoying! Even the Stuff page doesnt work well. Thus, I propose this committie to have power over what facts stay and what goes. They are given a protocol, and if a fact passes the protocol than committie confirms the fun fact (perhaps by typing confirmed and signing) and removing/stuffing fun fact (maybe put "rejected/stuffed by FFCC" in the comment section) so that way some one has a final word on these fun facts. What does everyone think? -- <tt>Posted by: [[User:-erson|-erson]] [[User talk:-erson|Talk]]</tt> 18:16, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Well, first off I think you should sign your talk page posts. Second, don't you think this question would be more appropriately asked on the [[HRWiki talk:Select The Usable Fun Facts|STUFF talk page]]? If you really want this to happen, Firebird, you need to rally community support. I can't and won't make any executive decisions about things like this. That said, I don't have a problem with a fun fact committee. In fact, I like the committee scheme because it helps people feel useful and needed in our community.

:I have my own ideas about fixing fun facts, though, and I'm not sure a committee's going to do it. I've been a quiet advocate of STUFFing the STUFF page and moving fun fact discussions to the talk page for the appropriate articles. On the real crazy toons and emails, perhaps we could have a boilerplate that says something like "Please check the discussion page before adding or removing any fun facts." That's my two cents, and two cents is about all it's worth around here. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Account Removal==

Can I politely ask you to delete my H*RWiki Forum Account? (it's "BurninatorBoombox") I don't want to have two, and I really need to get more involved in the Wiki business. Thanks, [[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 03:41, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

==New Main Page Mockup==

Wow. It's like... A mini-wikipedia! Well I sort of like it, but I do like having all the catergories right at a click, including the Wiki stuff, Inside Jokes, ect. Also Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly fanstuff are kinda left out. I don't know, to tell you the truth. I do like the featured article idea, but how exactly would that work? Would we have to add the first paragraph or two by hand, or would it be automatic somehow? I like the H*R updates easily there, and a few fun facts would be kinda... well.. fun. Yea, I like it. My main concern is that we're loosing a bunch of the main page shortcuts to pages. Overall though, I think a change would be a good thing to look forward to. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:34, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I'm certainly not stubborn about the way the categories were done. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] has some better category schemes on his userpage. I'm certainly open to additional suggestions. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:53, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Btw, what's with the article? Is it just jibberish, or is it a different language? And if so, why? Also, is there a future plan to replace current main page with said mockup? If so, at what time? Thanks. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

==CSS3 fix==

Hi there. I think <tt>a[href = "http://www.homestarrunner.com"] {color:green !important;}</tt> should fix things for you. For some reason <tt>a:visited {color: #5a3696;}</tt> takes precedence if the former doesn't have the <tt>!important</tt>.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:31, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

:Wow, I just barely thought of that before I read your post. Great minds think alike. Thanks, Tom. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 04:00, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

::Holy moly, that png is a cool idea. Good work![[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Yeah, it's kinda fun. The one thing I'm dissappointed about is it only works in Firefox. Wish I could get it to work in IE, but there are already a few other link stylings that only work in Firefox. For instance, email links look like any other external link in IE. They don't get the cute little envelope image. Something I just thought of: should the h*r image go after the link? Or is it okay before the link like it is now? Seems like putting it after the link would be more correct, since it would be following the established precedent. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

::::I think before the link is fine. And too bad for those peeps that use IE, they just won't have the pretty icon. It's not like the icon is necassary for the wiki to function correctly for them.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:00, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

==Talk Link/Main Page==

Hi Joey, just wondering why your talk link in your sig isn't linked. Is it on purpose? Also, can I expect to see a new main page shortly, or is that jump still a ways away? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:00, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:MediaWiki is smart enough not to create self-referencing links. If you look at my sig somewhere else it has the link, but when I sign a post on this page, MediaWiki automagically removes the link. Pretty slick. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 04:03, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:And about the main page, I dunno. We still need to flesh out what links it will have and if we need to build a new "browse" page of some sort. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 04:05, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

== New Committees / STUFF Reform ==

Is it alright if we start new committees? I was directed by ''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'' to talk it over with you. In particular this would be something of a club that got together to do things together for the benefit of the wiki as a whole. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 15:55, 10 May 2005 (PDT)

:What kind of committee will it be? I have no problem with any new committees. You should be seeking community support, not JoeyDay support. :) — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 23:49, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

::A committee to monitor the STUFF'd pages, mostly. What I really want to do is add it to the Stick --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:13, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Sounds like a great idea. What's going on with STUFF anyway? I've been out of the loop on that for a while now. I heard there's talk of disbanding it in favor of using talk pages. Is there pretty good community support behind that?

:::Seeing as how STUFF may get STUFF'd, the committee should really have a name that doesn't reflect the STUFF idea at all. Does that make sense? The name should be more appropriate to what the commitee will actually be doing. Perhaps "Fun Fact Review Committee"? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 03:24, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

::::If I may throw in my 2 cents, I'd be in favor of using the talk pages instead of a central STUFF page. As it is right now, it is too long (Clanky, too longgg!) and almost un-navigatable.

::::P.S. Thanks for the welcome note. Didn't know we had a welcoming comittee. And it has a special touch when the owner/admin gives you a personalized greeting. --[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 03:04, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

::::P.S.S. Sorry for turning your talk page into a huge STUFF discussion/debate. I was just trying to agree with you.

:::::I disagree. Having a central STUFF page is vital to the success of keeping track of fun facts. In particular:

:::::#If the votes were moved to their respective talk pages, I strongly believe that few users—even the more savvy ones—would be able to scour the recent changes page enough to keep up with what facts were being voted on and where, especially considering that facts on the STUFF page aren't limited to just the newest H*R updates.
:::::#On the other hand, a central STUFF location lets a user check just one page and make several votes on different facts at the same time.
:::::#A casual voter can check the page as little as once a week and still remain current and influential. Which is what we want in a wiki—the more input, the better.
:::::#A side effect of the page is that it makes it easy to get to know the personalities in our community.

:::::With that in mind, however, I'm not saying the STUFF page couldn't use reform. Yes, it's long. Yes, it's disorganized. And yes, it could use some formatting improvements, but that's because it's still relatively young. It's experiencing growing pains. With a little effort, I believe these things can be fixed over time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:44, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

::::::Yes, but does EVERY SINGLE PERSON who visits the wiki HAVE TO vote on EVERY SINGLE THING that is being stuffed????? It seems to me the talk pages are a better idea, because only when there are too many fun facts should even 1 be considered for deletion. "Virus" was out of hand, therefore it was the spawning point for stuff. Pages that have only a handful of fun facts should never have any content removed in my opinion. --[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 00:59, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:::::::Hey, Joey. I've got a page I'd like you to check out. [[User:It's dot com/STUFF reform]]. It took me a long time to create it, and I would value your input. (You can use the talk page there.) Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:59, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

::::::::I have overhauled my design (just the code, not the look). It is a ''vast'' improvement. Plus, the signatures are fixed and there's a new method for revisions. Do you mind taking [[User:It's dot com/STUFF reform|another look]] at it? ...Regarding your page, I originally thought about having a two-column format for the arguments, but after trying it I don't think it's as easy to read as a full-width format (especially if the window size is small or the arguments are one-sided). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::By the way, we were both editing my talk page at the same time, and so I copied and pasted some of your comments into my revised page to resolve the edit conflict. But part of your comments were in a section that I was removing because of the new version. I just wanted you to know that I didn't mean anything bad by that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey Joey, it's Dot com. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora]] was wondering whether I was ever going to move forward with my idea to fix up STUFF, and I decided I should. In order to get community approval for my idea, I want to set up a transition page where people can practice the new format before it goes live. Work out the bugs and whatnot. <s>To do that, I think I need to insert a couple of items on the master style sheet page. I asked Aurora whether she could help me or whether I should ask you directly, and she referred me to you. If you would, please see the discussion at the bottom of [[User_talk:Homestar_Coder#the_right_STUFF|her talk page]]. Thanks.</s> ''{Never mind this for now.}'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Need Some Validation?==

Oh no, I've been VALIDATE'D!!! Actually, thanks alot. I was already planning to switch to the web friendly color code mode quite soon, but that was just the push I needed to get it done. And the old-monitor-friendly meathod is a good idea, which doesn't change it that much at all. Similarly, the little arrow things, I'm glad you figured out how to fix the '?' problem. Thanks for going to so much trouble for my sig. So... Here it is. What do you think? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} (Btw, are my old sigs okay how they are, or would you rather I replace them with my new one if I see them?)

:Wow, great sig, my friend! You're very welcome for the help. I'm glad you could understand my poorly-written instructions well enough to put them into practice. Your old sigs should be fine where they are; I don't want you to go to any trouble. I might start replacing them myself on prominent pages, and you're certainly free to replace them wherever you find them if you're up to it, but I won't twist your arm. Thanks for keeping the wiki clean with web standards (not to mention keeping the wiki itself with all your donations). You're a model citizen in my book. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 14:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:Hm, in replacing your sig on this page, I just realized how long the code is. Can I give you one more suggestion? Have you noticed how I do my own sig? It's actually a template, which means it takes up very little space in the code and I can change it in one place as often as I want. You basically just create a sub-page to your user page (mine is at [[User:JoeyDay/sig]]). Then you can include it on a page with <code><nowiki>{{User:JoeyDay/sig}}</nowiki></code>. Put that code in the nickname box on your preferences window, and you're good to go. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 14:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::Say, now ''that's'' clever. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Wow, that IS clever. I didn't like how long it was either, but I couldn't really think of any way to fix it. That's just the solution I was looking for. I'll get right on it, thanks. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:02, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

::::There, done. One more bonus to this you didn't meantion, when editing you sig you can see the whole code in one place, on the template page (while editing). Otherwise you only get to see about two dozen characters at a time on your preferences page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

==Preference Question==

Btw, at the top of my preference page it says that my 'internal ID number is 86'. What's that for? Is that the order I created an account here? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:That's the theory. The internal ID increments by 1 for each new user. I don't understand a whole lot about SQL, so I can't say for sure if your number might be off by one or two in either direction, but it should be pretty trustworthy as a round figure. Someone with more knowledge of PHP and SQL might be able to help you understand auto-incrementing ID numbers. Sorry I can't be more specific. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 14:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::Yep, Joey's got it right. The numbering almost certainly starts at 0 (i.e. my number is 2, so I was actually the third to sign up). If a user account got deleted, that would leave a "hole" in the ordering, but MySQL doesn't fill in those holes with new accounts and I doubt MediaWiki does, either, so it's a pretty good indicator of where you are in the grand scheme of things. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 17:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Thanks for the clarification, Jones. Holes from deleted accounts were exactly the kind of exeption I wasn't sure about. (It makes sense that the holes shouldn't be filled in. If a user down the road requested a certain record and was handed the wrong thing, that could easily cause confusion.) However, it appears as though — and I vaguely remember — I made some changes to our database very early on. My interal ID is 1 (meaning we didn't start at zero), and there is no user with an internal ID of 5. So, even though Thunderbird's internal ID is 86, he was actually the 85th user to sign up on the wiki since we switched to MediaWiki. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::::Thanks guys. One more question. Is there a place with a list of all the ID numbers in order, so you can see who signed up when? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:02, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:::::Not currently, but I'll add that to my todo list. It shouldn't be too hard to build something that scrapes the database and pulls everyone out in order. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 02:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

== The Interwiki Links ==

Do you think there should also be an interwiki link for this wiki itself? It could be used in the [[Template:stub|Stub]] template so it doesn't appear as an external link... [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

I edited the stub template to add the <code>plainlinks</code> class. That should take the arrow off the link. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:58, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

== 1000th article ==

Congratulations on the thousandth article! That's really cool. And a good article too! (But would it be possible to add a sample of each font to it? I think it would be a good addition, but that's far too 'coding' for myself to attempt). But congratulations. I'm jealous now. Although I think I still have you beat with making the last change of the old server, AND the first change of the new one... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

:What's the 1000th article? [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

::I have it linked from my user page. The thousdandth article is [[Fonts]]. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:28, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

:We should do something special to commemorate this milestone. --[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 00:47, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::I know! I'll say 'one thousand', one thousand times. *Ahem*. Ummm... Never mind, it's been done before. We could all mail cakes to Joeyday.... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:40, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

== How do I sign a comment? ==

Yes,I'm feeling like a blonde right now.But sewiously,how DO you sign a comment?

:Hm, I guess it doesn't say how to do that in very many places around here, but it's real easy. Just put four tildes in a row (like this: <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). Three tildes in a row will do your signature without the timestamp, and five tildes in a row will do just the timestamp. You can change how your signature gets displayed using the "nickname" box in the preferences panel. Feel free to ask me any other questions you need answers to. I hope your first few weeks as a registered user have been a good experience. We're really glad to have you around. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 21:45, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::Thankies! So, tildes? That's what them squiggly things are called? Okie! My first signed comment! [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 20:04, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

== Monday Night Chats? ==

So how about it? Feel like adding a permanent notice somewhere, or a site notice every Monday evening about a monday night chat on that chat room thing? Is this a good idea? Whaddayathink? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Uh, I'm a step ahead of you. I've already added a section to the [[HRWiki:IRC channel]] page and built a [[Template:scheduledchat|scheduled chat site notice template]]. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 03:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

::Oh wow. Thanks man, that's pro. Maybe we should tell all the sysops about it, so that there's always somebody to turn the site notice on/off. Unless there's some kind of auto timed on/off feature... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Removal of "Email this user" link on userpages ==

I notice that users are no longer able to email each other through the wiki. Was this change due to the abuse of email or SPAM activity? One may see why I might be concerned as I currently have a link on my user page (now broken) that goes to a special page [[Special:Emailuser|"Emailuser"]] which no longer exists. Did I miss something? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 18:04, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:I just turned it back on. It must've defaulted to off in a recent upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:33, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for annoying you, but was the site down yesterday for anyone? Because when I tryed to go on the wiki, it said the owners bandwidth was exceeded. Firebird (sorry for draging you in to this) says you're the owner. So, um, I don't know what i'm supposed to expect. An apologie? No, just saying. --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 15:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:HRWiki is a very popular site. We get <s>5 GB</s> about 100 GB of transfer bandwidth per month, but if we use it up before the month ends, then we get the error message that we all (it wasn't just you) experienced. In a 31-day month it's likely that we'll run out of bandwidth. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've noticed that the font in the new e-mail boxes is not quite that of their respective computers, and so I searched for a download of Lappy's font, Glitch0. I haven't the foggiest how to implement it, and I'm not going to risk messing something up trying, so here's a download link for Glitch0, in case it is possible to correct the font for the Lappy: [http://www.themeworld.com/cgi-bin/redir.pl/fonts/glitch.zip Glitch0] (note that I'm telling you this because you were the one who created the boxes, if I'm not sorely mistaken) [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 01:53, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:The problem is that it will only appear as Glitch0 on another person's computer if they have that font installed. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:24, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Ah, should have been obvious, don't know why I didn't realize that. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 11:54, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:The emails are supposed to be in <tt>&lang;blockquotes&rang;</tt> now aren't they?[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

::Actually, wait. Is it possible to set up the font-family to have Glitch0 first for if the user has the font, and then whatever other font? [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

== Web-Friendly Help ==

In [[mile]], where marzipan says 'I '''heart''' that cheat' there's supposed to be a heart in both the transcript and the fun facts section. Because the '''heart''' was never a web-friendly heart, it keeps getting changed to a '?'. Would you be able to web-friendly/validate those hearts? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:14, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== HEY JOEY!! ==

Can you PLEASE tell me your fax number? -Kinsey

:Why does everyone think I have a fax number? I don't have one. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but please mail me your COPPA form. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:49, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Unban ==

Seriously, I need to be unbanned. All the reason Tom gave me is because "you annoy me." I want to be there for the Monday night chat and Trivia Time bot! Please! [[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]] 22:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Protect ==

Hey joey

Why don't you make your user page protected??? [[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]]|[[User_Talk:Pertmywert|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Pertmywert|Contributions]][[Image:Runninghomestar.gif|28px]]

== Serious Help With The Forum ==

Joey, no one else has had the power to help. I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart. There is a terrible spammer wreaking havoc on the Forum. He was banned, but then returned under a new name. I was wondering if you could IP ban him so he can never return in any form. I beg you Joey, please help the Forum. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 01:12, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Well, someone dealt with it. The spammer hasn't returned since. Thanks to whoever took care of it. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 20:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Out of town ==

Sorry I didn't say anything about this earlier, but I'm out of town this week. I'm camping in Glorieta, NM with the youth group from my church and won't be home until Saturday, June 25. If there are any questions or comments left here for me I won't see them until then. Have a great week, everyone! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:04, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Any Sysop Answer This, Please! ==

Hey, guys, at the HRFWiki, 207.69.138.199 is trolling everywhere and the admins aren't online! If any admins are on here, please go there and ban him! It's getting hard to keep up with his trolling! Please. --[[User:The Conductor|That Conductor]] 04:45, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:207.69.138.199's now blocked. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Banned from the IRC chat ==

I'd like to know why I'm banned from the IRC chat. I seriously don't know why. --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]][[User_talk:Homsar999|ß]] 19:40, 24 Jun 2005 (CDT)

== I have a question... ==

Yo Joe, can you explain to me how people become Admins in the first place? -Kinsey

:I appointed the original five person admin staff in the early days by virtue of my position as creator and proprietor of the site. Since then, the admins (myself, [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]], [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]], [[User:Stu|Stu]], and [[User:Tom|Tom]]) have appointed 9 others as sysops. None of these admins or sysops ever sought power, but were selected for outstanding contributions and activity in the wiki community. Does that answer your question? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:14, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::She also asked Amanda this same question, and [[User_talk:Homestar_Coder#I have a big query.|here]] is that thread. Just FYI. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Needs help ==

Hey, I was just wondering if you could tell me how to make a table of contents or how to get one on my page. If you would, please either post it on my talk page, or yours.--[[User:Pomx2]]

:Try putting "<tt><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></tt>" where you want the table of contents to go (that's two underscores before and after "TOC"). See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Section#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29|Wikipedia:Section]]. Note: you can post questions like this on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]]. Your actual mileage may vary. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:02, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Is this really a necessary practice?==

I look at [[bottom 10]] and I note that it includes the note of the reference to [[english paper]], the mouth diagram. I then look at english paper, and under Fast Forward is the same fact. I look at [[boring (really)]] and see that it notes the reference to [[lunch special]], 'sbu'. But then, I look at lunch special and it's got something to that effect under Fast Forward. This, to me, is rather unnecessary and comes off as unprofessional. I don't deny the usefulness of the Fast Forward section, but excluding those which really belong under Fast Forward, like "The Cheat is Not Dead would later appear on the Strong Bad Sings CD" or "Stinkoman would later become the name of a real character", one must decide whether we have two copies of EVERY Fun Fact or whether we only have one copy of each. Of course, it's obvious that the latter is the preferable choice. As such, not only is the duplication of Fun Facts unnecessary via Fast Forward, but it's also deviation from standard form, another sloppy practice. If some manner of reform could be made, such would make the Fun Facts a little more easy to sort through. Thanks, [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:04, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC).

:[[HRWiki:Standards#Fast Forward|The Fast Forward section]] of [[HRWiki:Standards|the standards]] say that "a fact in the Fast Forward category is something of significance in the toon that is re-used later on." If you don't think a fact is significant enough, bring it up on the respective talk page. Also, Joey might not be the best person to discuss this matter with. You might want to try [[User:Jay|Jay]], who came up with the fun fact subcategories, or [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]], our fun fact guru.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:37, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

What's unprofessional about a forward reference and a backward reference? They're not on the same page. How do we know which one a particular user will see first? Isn't it in the interest of any wiki to have ''more'' links, not fewer? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:In my opinion, it's best to avoid clutter. And, as well, as I said, consistent policy strikes me as optimal. Also, some of these are not that significant. Taking the sbu example, for one. If Sbu were to become, say, the inspiration for a song later, then the forwards reference indeed fits the bill of some significance. But I disagree in the current instance. Well, failing that, I guess I can follow that advice, Tom... namely to dispute each individual Fun Fact. Darn. Well, I've got a bit of work tomorrow, then. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 02:04, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

And concerning my choice of users to ask, I was asking Joey because it would seem to be a matter of policy. And, as well, I wasn't sure at the time, so I knew at least by asking Joey, if he was not the right person, he would definitely be able to direct me to the right person.
