The problem is that he slightly misattributed them - they weren't in kids' book per se, they were in Strumstar Hammer (the fake version of the original book.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:43, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> :My fault. I searched on [[kids' book]] and didn't see the nicknames, so I assumed it was a troll. I should've searched the names before I accused him. I'll remove him from [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] and clean up all this mess. &rarr;[[User:FireBird|''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>'']]<br /> <br /> :: Yeah, it's okay. Enough troll edits will make you paranoid, I know. Just hope we didn't offend him. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:37, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> :::I doubt he even knew he was on WikiTroll (or even what WikiTroll is). &rarr;[[User:FireBird|''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>'']]<br /> :::: I thought he might have been blocked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:49, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> ==Wrestle-name==<br /> Wasn't Homestar referring to Strong Mad when he talked about the 'two-bit wrestleman'? After all, he didn't know that Strong Bad was on Strong Badia's side before he saw him playing badminton. Thus, shouldn't 'two-bit wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Mad nickname, but 'Wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Bad nickname?<br /> :From the transcript of [[army]]:<br /> ::''{scene changes to The Stick}''<br /> <br /> ::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog?<br /> <br /> ::'''CROWD''': YEAH!<br /> :I think Homestar is talking about Strong Bad and The Cheat here. I don't think Homestar refers to Strong Mad at all in the email. From reading the rest of Homestar's speech, it would seem he is referring to other things that either Strong Bad has done or Strong Bad has.<br /> :So as of right now, the nicknames listed are correct in this respect.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:52, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> == Meatball Face Butt ==<br /> <br /> *Meatball Face Butt (Strong Bad, [[dangeresque 3]])<br /> <br /> I removed this because Meatball Face Butt isn't technically attributed by Strong Bad to Homestar. It's given by [[Dangeresque]] to [[Dangeresque Too|Dangeresque]]. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 05:45, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> Also, that was more insult than nickname. [[User:The Big Eye|The Big Eye]] 17:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == An Ogre ==<br /> <br /> *an ogre (Marzipan, [[dreamail]])<br /> <br /> Surely this doesn't count as a nickname? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 06:02, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> == One character = another? ==<br /> <br /> Does it count when one character (usually Homestar) refers to another character with a third character's name - ie. when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Strong Sad" in [[caper]], or when he calls Strong Bad "Pom Pom" in [[the facts]]? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:59, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)<br /> <br /> == Homsar calls himself ==<br /> <br /> Should the names that Homsar calls himself really be included? --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 20:41, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> : We counted it when Homestar called himself "Batman", or when Strong Bad called himself Stark Dålig. So why not? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> :: But do things like "a song from the sixties" belong there? Those seem more like descriptive phrases than nicknames. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC)<br /> :::I think a good way to settle this is to move them to a new section on [[Homsar]]'s biography, similar to how with did with [[Coach Z]]'s mispronunced words. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:48, 5 July 2006 (UTC)<br /> == Still haven't done it! ==<br /> Seriously, put " Song from the Sixties with Homsar! --[[User:Trog-Boy90]]<br /> <br /> Unless we haven't already done this, we should also make a separate page for [[Senor Cardgage]] portmanteaus. [[User:The Big Eye|The Big Eye]] 17:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Stupid baby brother ==<br /> <br /> *My stupid baby brother (Strong Bad, [[different town]])<br /> <br /> I removed this because of its being a direct description of Strong Sad's person (in Strong Bad's point of view, mind you), not a different name for him, nor is it being used as such. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 01:18, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Already taken care of? ==<br /> <br /> Is it just me, or does all of this info already exist on the character pages (also known as...)? Is a completely seperate page necessary to this wiki anyway? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br /> : It's just you :) Seriously, though, you're right that there is overlap, but the a.k.a. sections on character pages also include alternate incarnations (such as Dr. Christmas for Bubs) that aren't nicknames. The nickname page is just kinda fun by itself, I don't know why. [[User:Eric|Eric]] 12:21, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Dapper Swindler==<br /> <br /> Do you think that [[The Dapper Swindler]] should also be included here? [[User:84.10.229.242|84.10.229.242]] 09:29, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I was going to say no, because I'm pretty sure it's The Sneak's only nickname, but Balding Man, Visor Robot and others are listed with only one, so... Yeah, I think it should be included (though I'd wait for others to second this before adding it). -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 09:48, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Seconded and added. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:00, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Dangeresque character names- nicknames?==<br /> <br /> Okay, let me ask this once and for all, so I can get my confusion cleared up here: can the Dangeresque character names be considered nicknames? --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 04:14, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I would say no because they're characters in movies that Strong Bad made. They're fictional characters, but saying these are nicknames is kind of like calling actors by the names of characters they've played. [[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 06:08, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::I added KILLINGYOUGUY to Strong Mad's section because in the end credits it lists Killingyouguy as Himself.<br /> <br /> == Low and No ==<br /> <br /> Strong Sad calls his brothers 'Low-brow' and 'No-brow' in his latest blog entry to these count as nicknames from Strong Mad and Strong Bad? [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]<br /> <br /> Sounds logical. If you can figure out which Strong is Low-Brow and which one is No-Brow I'd say go for it.<br /> <br /> :Strong Bad's no-brow, because he has no brows... I think. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''<br /> <br /> ::Also, "lowbrow" = "unintellectual"; that fits Strong Mad, I think. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:09, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::Yeah but brow also means forehead, Strong Bad could be low brow since he's not exactly 'cultured' and Strong Mad could be no brow since he has no forehead. I'm just throwing this out there as a possibility. [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]<br /> <br /> == Eh! Greg ==<br /> <br /> I think there's some disagreement here. I'm pretty sure that SB's 'Eh! Greg' was him forgetting Eh! Steve's name, not making Eh! Steve adress Prime Time. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}<br /> <br /> :I took it not as SB forgetting, but agreeing that this creation was very much ''like'' Eh! Steve, but not the same; hence he would need a similar but not-the-same name. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::But is the name given to his drawing of Eh! Steve or Ready for Prime Time? That's what would determine where the nickname would go. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}<br /> :::Ready for Prime Time. You could argue that its name is Eh! Greg, but certainly not Eh! Steve. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:52, 31 October 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mustachioed Homestar Runner ==<br /> <br /> How do we know that the Mustachioed Homestar Runner is nicknamed "Fabrosi" in [[lady...ing]]? Yes, the person who "sent" in the old email was called Fabrosi but just because M.H.R. followed Strong Bad's advice doesn't mean that he sent in the email. I don't see a strong enough link for this one. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :I agree. Not a strong enough link to link the two. {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 17:19, 6 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::Hang on! I've just watched it again and changed my mind! Observe:<br /> <br /> ::'''''STRONG BAD:''' 2nd and 3rd best friends?? What about Fabrosi? What'd you two do to Fabrosi? Eh, whatever. That guy's probably out lady-ing with that '''fake mustache he always wears.''' It's only gonna attract gold-diggers.''<br /> <br /> ::If M.H.R. is really Homestar Runner, or at least a clone with a fake mustache, then perhaps that's his nickname after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 22:38, 27 January 2006 (UTC)<br /> :::Good point, but I'm still thinking it's not a strong enough link to make this a definitive case. Perhaps if we added ''(debatable)'' to the reference? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Splitting In Characters ==<br /> I don't really see the point of splitting nick names by the type of toon they come from. The names themselves aren't really affected by the toon, so to me it seems distracting and stretches the TOC. I liked it when it was just alphabetical. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}<br /> :I'll second that. This doesn't look as nice. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br /> ::Hang on a sec... Why are these being split. (That's what I was going to post, and I see two people are already asking the question.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::<nowiki>*</nowiki>shrug* I was just helping - it looked like a good documentation effort to me, but come to think of it, I agree that it's making things cumbersome. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::::Really, too many headers is bad. It's fine to split things like this when there's only one thing that needs splitting, like normal fun facts, but when there's this many it just looks bad. And long. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}<br /> :::::Everything else is grouped by category. The list itself it serious long and looks ugly random. Actually is looks horrible. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I have an idea: To organize the nicknames the way IRF is going for, without affecting the formatting too much, why don't we just do it like this?:<br /> <br /> *Nickname from big toon (character, toon)<br /> *Nickname2 from big toon (character, toon)<br /> *Nickname3 from big toon (character, toon)<br /> <br><br /> *Nickname from SBEmail (character, email)<br /> *Nickname2 from SBEmail (character, email)<br /> *... and so on<br /> <br /> This way, you'd have the nicknames grouped together by toon type, but you wouldn't run into the huge TOC like we were before. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 23:24, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :...because the type of toon doesn't effect the name at all. It'll be easier for someone to find the nickname they're looking for if they're all laid out in a simple, logical order. Like alphabetical. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :''[Edit conflict]'' I don't see how grouping by toon type is an improvement, because then you've just got a list that's not in alphabetical order. My question is this, why would you need to search for a nickname in the context of what type of toon it is? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::That's exactly my point! Splitting isn't good unless it splits it in a way that aids the average reader in finding what he's looking for. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::'''Edit Conflict''': Perhaps someone might look for a list of nicknames being used at a specific toon? Would a separate page ordered in this manner be of any benefit?--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::What about consistency? NOTHING else is listed in alphabetical order. Everything is listed in order of appearance. Menus, filmograhpies, other lists such as [[What_are_you_supposed_to_be]], [[Hanging_Objects]], [[Minor_Alternate_Versions]]... I could go on and on because everything on the wiki is listed by category. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::::Yes, but these aren't listed entirely in alphabetical order either. They're listed by ''character''. Alphabetical order is just an unobtrusive sub-classification. And many other pages use similar, sub-alphabetical order classifications. Such as [[Characters]], [[Items]], [[Sightings]] and [[Games]]. (Although some of these only partially do so.) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::::I would look at your examples again because not one of them used alphabetic lists. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::::::Noted that these pages are inconsistent in their formatting - some of them are done alphabetically (in some cases by last name), while others are done in order of popularity, rank, relevance, etc., and some seem random. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 23:46, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::::That is beside the point. The fact is using alphabetically order isn't inconsistant, as some of these pages do use it. Partially. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:48, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> I'm switching my position. After looking closely at the article [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Nicknames&oldid=199436 with categories], splitting does add a certain nuance. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:04, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :Well it seems that Joshua and Dorian Gray are the only 'no' opinions here. I'd like to get some more input here before I spend time only to have some reverted. How about something like this:<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Big Toons'''<br /> :*Nickname (character, toon)<br /> :*Nickname2 (character, toon)<br /> '''Shorts'''<br /> :*Nickname (character, toon)<br /> :*Nickname2 (character, toon)<br /> <br /> {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 13:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Better, but I still don't like it. The nicknames are easy to locate and browse through now. All those do is lengthen the page and make it a little bit harder to find individual nicknames, as you don't always know what type of toon the nickname you're looking for came from. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::Also, no one complained when I did this [[Fourth_Wall_Breaks]] about a week ago. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:48, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::Unfortunately we're working with a more complicated "dataset" for lack of a better word. Your [[Fourth_Wall_Breaks]] rearrangement looks great because there is only two sublevels of information to deal with: the toons, and the breaks that happen in each toon. This beast is a little more complicated to tame. You are trying to create three sublevels of information: the character, the toon, and then the nickname for each toon. This adds a level of complexity that is not as pleasing to the eye. So coming up with something that both looks more organized and is simple enough to look at, is tricky, at best. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:14, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <font size=4><b>On a New Page...</b></font><br /> <br /> I'd still like to see a new page that looks something like this:<br /> <br /> '''Toon Name'''<br /> :*Nickname (of character x) given by character y<br /> :*Nickname2 (of character x) given by character y<br /> '''Toon Name2'''<br /> :*Nickname (of character x) given by character y<br /> :*Nickname2 (of character x) given by character y<br /> <br /> That way we could skim through the toons to see what nicknames were being used throughout that toon. The toons themselves could be ordered chonologically. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:55, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> : This discussion brings to mind a question: Do we have the ability to do more complex scripting in Wiki pages? This seems like an ideal place to create a small relational database, and to create a frontend page that allows users to sort and organize the data however they like. So you'd have a table that contains the character, their nickname, who said it, what toon it was from, and when the toon was released, and the webpage could very easily sort by any one or two of these items. If such scripting is possible, I'd be happy to do it - this sort of thing is what I do for a living. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::That kind of thing would be nice, but I'm not sure it's possible under our current security settings (and I'm not talking about the recent vandalism, just the way the wiki is set up in general). Changing it would probably require extensive modifications to the code. I didn't really make a case for splitting the nicknames up there, so I will do so now: When you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Nicknames&oldid=199436 split them into categories], you notice that the nicknames the characters use in Marzipan's Answering Machine, for example, are quite similar to each other, and of a completely different style from those in Big Toons. From the standpoint of simply browsing of the article, having them categorized is therefore more interesting than a simple alphabetical list. And, really, when are you going to search for one that alphabetical order would come in handy. (Even in that case, there's always Ctrl+F.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::'''Edit Conflict''': LoL I think i've heard it being mentioned before and sounds like a neat idea. Unfortunately MediaWiki is not built to handle such dynamic content (as far as I know). But the source code is just PHP working on a MySQL database. The nice thing is that mediawiki is [[MetaWikipedia:Write_your_own_MediaWiki_extension|extendible]] I have [[User:Tom|Tom]] to thank for that [[HRWiki:Da_Basement#Suggestions|awesome link]]. Getting permission from the administration is totally different. If you're going to code for mediawiki, I strongly suggest [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download installing] a copy on your computer to play with. I assume you know how to get MySQL and Apache (or eek! IIS) running. Good Luck! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:12, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::'''Addendum''': Dot Com is right, what I was vaguely referring to by permission was that yeah adding code can open up the site to all sorts of attack. My guess would be perhaps a more compact, simple, and secure extension would be more attractive to admins? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:16, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::Sounds like it would be easiest to just create the page statically. T'was an idea, but it doesn't sound like it's worth the effort required. So, any way to do the categorization without affecting the TOC? (Or perhaps we can make a static TOC as well?) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::::A manual TOC would be a workaround, but a better one would be to make categories using something other than sections.

You moved Senator Bobblehead to Homestar's section. This is not correct. Apparently you interpreted it as a jab at Homestar, but Strong Bad would not have had Bobblehead handily winning the election if it was supposed to be a Homestar slam. Senator Bobblehead is just the conclusion of the Bob Statesman - Senator Statesbob - Senator Bobblehead corruption; all three are the same character. Can we move it back where it belongs?<br /> <br /> 2. You deleted the dialog snippets for Mr. Nobody et al. Why? These provide useful context, and it can be argued that they are extensions of the characters' names. What was the harm?<br /> <br /> On the other hand, thanks for reverting my Ron Dardman error. It didn't quite click that the name in the parentheses was already understood to be the person speaking, rather than the person aliased; but now I get it.

I thoought I put it back in the right spot but I guess not. I was mainly keeping the confirmity of this page. Each item is listed as ''Nickname (person_who_said_it, where_it_appeared)''. I think we all realize that many of these are not ''actually'' nicknames but rather names in which a character is reffered. I don't think its nessesary to put all that explanation into the parenthesis since it's just a list and not a commentary. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Point taken, although I think it's helpful to have the context listed ''somewhere''. Okay, how about this then: I'll create a new entry for all of Strong Bad's obviously bogus aliases, make it a Running Gag, and put the text snippets on that page.

Exs:<br /> <br /> * Homsar says to Homestar, "You're a real state trooper!" Is this really a nickname? I don't think so. He could have said this to anyone who dropped anything into his bucket.<br /> *sb and ds in [[keep cool]] - these are labels, not nicknames. They are simply identifying marks. Not notable (here), in my opinion.<br /> *'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! That little yellow thing! Wake up! - ''little yellow thing'' is not a nickname, it's a description.<br /> *'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog? - again, ''yellow dog'' is a description, not a nickname.<br /> <br /> Oh, how I could go on. Let me propose a few guidelines for discussion.<br /> <br /> #A nickname is spoken in almost every case, as is the nature of nicknames.<br /> #A nickname is not simply a description of the individual.<br /> #A nickname is not applicable to another character acting in the same situation.<br /> #A nickname is not simply a phrase one uses to refer to themself or others.<br /> #A nickname IS a moniker applied to a character which is reasonably unique to that character and no other, useful as a direct referrent for the character, and will normally embody some trait or perception of the character.<br /> #A nickname normally takes the form of a proper noun.<br /> <br /> So "Duckshirt" and "Graw Mad" are nicknames. "A round mound of gray fatness" and "a crazy man from another country" are not. Thoughts (before I begin pruning in a day or so)? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> : I see where you're coming from, but I'm kinda neutral. There's sort of a gray area where things could be nicknames or could not - see [[big white face]] for some examples (on SB's computer). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I'm with you there. One could call one's computer-based moniker for a person a "nickname" - in fact, we're doing it right now. That's why I said "spoken in almost every case". Can you suggest a clarification? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:44, 3 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree with you, Qermaq. Descriptions like "yellow dog" is '''not''' a nickname, but Graw Mad definitely is. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::I'm glad you agree, but can the boundaries be refined any? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> Ok, started going nuts. I eliminated any entries that were clerarly against the above<s>, plus I assumed a nickname would be used as a proper noun (which i should have included above) so those are out too</s>. I was a bit conservative, I think. Before I continue, feel free to present arguments. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Let me further add: some deleted pseudo-nicknames might be notable but not as nicknames. Some are purely descriptions, some are "labels" never spoken as nicknames (like saving a pic of an enemy on your computer with the fileame "dumb idiot"), some are just mispronunciations of the name. At least one is arguably his real name. None of these can be considered "nicknames". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :What about "My dog(e)"? Are these nicknames? I think it'd be clearly a nickname if Homestar called someone "Dog". But "my dog"? Sounds to me like it's "simply a phrase one uses to refer to themself or others." Opinions? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:37, 19 August 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> I've purged a lot of items based on their not being true nicknames. I feel I was liberal, take that into account; some remaining might not be worthy.

(On October 22, the email was renamed just "retirement".) The following were added or changed from the original:<br /> * The Lappy's comma key is now missing throughout the toon. Originally, the key was present in part A when the Compy and Tandy are holding the Lappy hostage but was missing in part B when Strong Bad gets it back.<br /> * The Tandy's screen now intermittently flashes with static while Strong Bad is checking its email.<br /> * Part A ended with the zoom-in on the Compy 386 (as the suspenseful music played). The Paper came down with a message that read, "To Be Continued Tomorrow!". Part B picked up with Strong Bad sitting at the Compy. When the two parts were combined, The Paper was removed, and a transition in and out of black now splices the two halves.<br /> * Also removed were the "back" link at the end of part A and the "loading" screen at the beginning of part B. This is notable because even though the "back" link was on the Compy, it was written in the Lappy's font, and the "loading" screen on part B was written in the Compy's font.<br /> * Clicking on the Compy's contrast dial creates some sparking effects.<br /> * A gear in the Compy now turns as Strong Bad types.<br /> * An extra scene featuring Strong Sad in Strong Bad's carnival tent was added.<br /> * When Strong Bad attempts to type commas in his closing remarks, commas no longer appear and instead a dull tapping sound is heard.<br /> * An Easter egg featuring the King of Town's act in Strong Bad's carnival tent was added.<br /> <br /> ===Explanations===<br /> *The explosion following the addition of Mountain Dew and denture tablets to the Tandy 400 is due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas from both the carbonated water and the effervescent action of the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid in the tablets, not to be confused with the [[Wikipedia:Mentos eruption|Coke and Mentos]] phenomenon.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Control-Alt-Delete|Control-Alt-Delete]] is a computer keyboard command on [[Wikipedia:IBM PC compatible|IBM PC compatible]] systems that can be used to close programs or reboot the computer.<br /> *A [[Wikipedia:Hushpuppy|hushpuppy]] is a deep-fried ball of cornmeal commonly eaten in the southern United States.<br /> *Putting a magnet too close to a computer can damage the data stored on [[Wikipedia:Magnetic storage|magnetic storage]], such as [[Wikipedia:Hard disk|hard disks]].<br /> *Structures or people are called the [[Wikipedia:Eighth Wonder of the World|Eighth Wonder of the World]] in order to liken their perceived greatness to the [[Wikipedia:Seven Wonders of the World|Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]] is the name of a sea-monster (perhaps a crocodile) mentioned several times in the [[Wikipedia:Old Testament|Old Testament]]. The word "leviathan" is often used to refer to any large monster or creature.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Pesto|Pesto]] is an Italian sauce frequently served over pasta. While many variations exist, in its classic form it is made of basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil and pecorino romano cheese.<br /> * Strong Sad is dressed as a [[Wikipedia:Bearded Lady|Bearded Lady]].<br /> <br /> ===Trivia===<br /> *This email and [[flashback]] are tied for the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. They're second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The toon with the most Easter eggs is [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] with ten.<br /> * At 6:53, this is the longest toon on the site. It beats the previous longest email, [[alternate universe]], by nearly one minute, and the previous longest toon, [[Where's The Cheat?]], by 35 seconds.<br /> *The [[Hanging Objects|portrait]] of Marshie's mother is hung in the same frame as the painting by the Deutsch Master in [[portrait]].<br /> *For the first email, the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#mastertype|mastertype]]". For the second, it reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#silpheed|silpheed]]".<br /> *This is the first Strong Bad Email to feature all three computers.<br /> *This is the first time [[Soolnds|soolnds]] are mentioned out loud.<br /> <br /> ===Remarks===<br /> [[Image:extra outlet and Lappy plug.png|thumb|120px|The Lappy's tail!]]<br /> *In Marshie's Whodunnit? scene, every main character is visible silhouetted except for [[The Cheat]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Bad]] himself.<br /> *Strong Bad says that the Lappy's hard drive holds five "[[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megs]]". However, in [[animal]], the Lappy has a "2 MB Hard Drive!".<br /> *During Strong Bad's confrontation with the Tandy and Compy, there are clickable areas on the Lappy's screen, but clicking on them has no effect. This is because the Tandy's contrast buttons are behind the Lappy, and they are disabled in this scene.<br /> *The word "contrast" on Strong Bad's Tandy is in a different font than it was before the Tandy was thrown out. This change was also made for the redone Tandy-era e-mails in [[do over]].<br /> *If you view the Flash file, during the [[Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] scene there is an extra electrical outlet outside the black, complete with the Lappy's cord plugged in.<br /> *The three sounds that play on the Tandy when Strong Bad highlights portions of the email come from [[Wikipedia:MacOS|MacOS]]: "Purr", "Sosumi", and "Temple", respectively.<br /> *This is the first time an email has been [[DELETED|deleted]] in the Lappy era (even though it was not deleted on the Lappy itself).<br /> *Strong Bad claims that he is out of potato chips, but some of the bags are partially filled.<br /> *The Tandy and Compy were sold by Bubs to the King of Town ([[King of Town Email]]) and Homestar ([[Broken Compy Menu]]), respectively. Oddly, both denied kidnapping the Lappy in [[cliffhangers]] (Homestar) and [[Missing Lappy]] (King of Town).<br /> <br /> [[Image:End 159.PNG|thumb|Slightly less shotgunned]]<br /> *The hole in the Compy is smaller here than it was at the end of [[virus]], making it possible to fit a token amount of legible text onto the screen.<br /> *In the start of the second part, the Compy starts off in "automatic hole format" but when Strong Bad starts typing his reply, some of the written text does not appear on the Compy's screen.<br /> *Strong Mad appears to have no tongue or tonsils.<br /> *Apparently, the cog inside the Compy processes text, yet it was shown spinning while broken at the end of [[virus]].<br /> *The sounds of the fleas on The Cheat sound a lot like The King of Town and Strong Bad's voices sped up when they are saying "Lalalalalala".<br /> *The Paper doesn't have a link to Strong Bad's email address.<br /> *[[The Virus|The viruses]] in the Compy, which affected the outside world in [[virus]], do not return for this email. It seems a shotgun is an effective virus-cleaner.<br /> *The email checked with the Tandy uses the animation style that was used in emails prior to [[brianrietta]], where Strong Bad's mouth moves as opposed to his head.<br /> **The sound effect of the keyboard is also the same as that used in those emails.<br /> *Neither the plug socket or the Compy's cord appear during the Compy email.<br /> <br /> ===Goofs===<br /> *When the camera zooms in on the box of the King of Town's fizzy denture tablets, the green lines on the Tandy aren't moving.<br /> *Right after Strong Bad deletes the Tandy email, and is about to swing the pickaxe into the keyboard, for a split second, you can hear Homestar saying "deleted", but his mouth doesn't appear to move.<br /> *There is no electrical outlet under the table while Strong Bad is using the Compy.<br /> *While zoomed in on the Compy, Strong Bad's reflection appears over some of the cracks in the Compy's screen.<br /> <br /> ===Inside References===<br /> *This email follows directly from [[cliffhangers]], where Strong Bad's computer was kidnapped at the end of the email. The dramatic "cliffhanger resolution" music is reused from that email as well. Strong Bad's closing remarks are directed toward Jake, who sent the email featured in cliffhangers.<br /> *This is another appearance of [[Index Cards|index cards]] on the site.<br /> *The phrase "Slink off to Bubs'" is a reference to the spamvertisement Easter egg at the end of [[unused emails]], which stated, "Slink on over to Bubs' Concession Stand..."<br /> *"Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-aught dweice!" most likely refers to the fact that in 2002 Strong Bad last checked an email with the Tandy and first checked an email with the Compy.<br /> *The position of Strong Bad's head in front of the Tandy, his reflected mouth on the Tandy's screen, and his lack of head movement are references to his early emails.<br /> *"Number 119, a-deleted" may be a reference to Email #119 ([[animal]]) in which Strong Bad first got the Lappy.<br /> *Two of the items on Strong Bad's Cloud Shape Spotting Log ("strong sad's ghost" and "strong sad's corpse") refer to [[Death#Strong Sad|Strong Sad's imagined death]].<br /> *Homestar pouring [[Mountain Dew]] into the Tandy is a reference to [[anything]], in which he poured Mountain Dew onto the Compy.<br /> *Strong Bad makes Homsar's walking noise and skitters around like him when he notices the Lappy's cord and is frantically pacing around.<br /> *The Cheat was previously compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]].<br /> *The skeleton image on the Compy's computer is from [[Peasant's Quest]].<br /> *Marzipan's curtain contains another case of [[Lowercase i's]].<br /> *The picture on Strong Mad's curtain resembles the [[Strong Man]]. Interestingly, although the figure in the picture is wearing the Strong Man's outfit, Strong Mad's costume consists of only a loincloth.<br /> *The word "[[Soolnds|soolnds]]", the name that Strong Sad has given his feet, was previously used in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].<br /> *The King of Town's stage name "Clogdor" is written in the same [[Fonts|font]] as [[Trogdor]]'s name on the official T-shirts. (And obviously "Clogdor" is a play on words of "Trogdor".)<br /> <br /> ===Real-World References===<br /> *When Strong Bad is on the couch, there is a brand of chips called "Flavoured Triangles". This could be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Doritos|Doritos]] or other tortilla corn chips which are triangle-shaped.<br /> *The winged buffalo references the [[Wikipedia:Buffalo Wild Wings|Buffalo Wild Wings]] mascot.<br /> *The [[Wikipedia:Teal (color)|Teal]] Screen of Near Death is a reference to the various colored [[Wikipedia:Category:Screens of death|Screens of death]] used by computer operating systems to indicate serious system errors. The [[Compy 386]] has been seen to have its own [[Wikipedia:Blue Screen of Death|Blue Screen of Death]] (the [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|Flagrant System Error]]) on more than one occasion.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Dabney Coleman|Dabney Coleman]] is an actor most known for his role in the films ''[[Wikipedia:Nine to Five|Nine to Five]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Tootsie|Tootsie]]''.<br /> *Strong Bad scrambling back and forth underneath the Lappy's cord may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong 3|Donkey Kong 3]], while the music is reminiscent of the game [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]], when the player is fighting a boss.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Slick Rick|Slick Rick]] was a popular hip-hop artist of the late 1980's and early 1990's.<br /> *"/got nothin'" in the text files is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Fark.com|Fark.com]], where people often end their posts with that remark.<br /> *Homestar pouring Mountain Dew onto the carpet after the destruction of the Tandy may be a reference to the practice of pouring [[Wikipedia:libation|libations]] on the ground to honor the dead. In Strong Bad's case, it can also be used to honor those [[video games|sent up the river]].<br /> *"If it'll save the orphanage..." is most likely a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:The Blues Brothers|The Blues Brothers]]'', in which the brothers put their old band back together in order to save the orphanage in which they were raised.<br /> *Strong Bad's contracted naming of files refers to names often given to files due to [[Wikipedia:8.3|8.3]] naming restrictions present in older [[Wikipedia:File Allocation Table|FAT]] filesystems, although his file names would be too long for these rules.<br /> *"Just walk away, mother" is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia: Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''. Also, the painting seen when Marshie delivers this line is drawn similarly to the caricature of [[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock]] seen at the start of his television program, ''[[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock Presents|Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]''.<br /> *The [[Wikipedia:Dust Bowl|Dust Bowl]] was a series of dust storms caused by poor farming techniques that ravaged the central United States and Canada from 1934 to 1939. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.<br /> *The graphics for the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows My Lappy Got Stole! Sweepstakes resemble those used for the 1995 [[Wikipedia:Simpsons|Simpsons]] episode [[Wikipedia:Who Shot Mr. Burns?|Who Shot Mr. Burns?]] contest sponsored by 1-800-COLLECT. That contest also featured silhouettes of the main characters with big question marks over each one, while a voiceover told viewers where to send in their guesses of the guilty party's identity in order to win the grand prize (being animated into an upcoming episode).<br /> *The "horses in IT" joke could be a reference to the British comedy series [[Wikipedia:Little Britain|Little Britain]], which contained a sketch set in a computer shop featuring a [[Wikipedia:horse whisperer|horse whisperer]] asking a horse how to fix a problem with installing Windows XP.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> {{sbemailextlinks|159|9999}}<br /> *[[Mirror:sbemail159a.html|watch "retirement A"]] (mirror)<br /> *[[Mirror:sbemail159a.swf|view the Flash file for "retirement A"]] (mirror)<br /> *[[Mirror:sbemail159b.html|watch "retirement B"]] (mirror)<br /> *[[Mirror:sbemail159b.swf|view the Flash file for "retirement B"]] (mirror)<br /> <br /> {{Strong Bad Email}}</div> Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:57:10 GMT Trog-Boy90 http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:retirement A Folky Tale http://hrwiki.org/wiki/A_Folky_Tale <p>Trog-Boy90: </p> <hr /> <div>{{toonnav|Big Toon|dumpingtontoon|Cool Things|Weclome Back}}<br /> [[Image:Saddy Dumpington 2.PNG|thumb|"Isn't that great?"]]<br /> Strong Sad retells the folky tale of Saddy Dumpington.<br /> <br /> '''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, [[Saddy Dumpington]], [[Folk Tale World|A Little Girl]], [[Folk Tale World|The Squirrel]], [[Folk Tale World|The Mayor]], [[The Dancing Brothers]], [[Folk Tale World|Mr Cricket]], [[Folk Tale World|Fox Joe]], [[Folk Tale World|Weird Snake Joe]], [[Folk Tale World|The Townsfolk]], {{Film|Bubs}} (Easter egg), {{Film|Homsar}} (Easter egg)<br /> <br /> '''Places:''' [[The Athletic Field]], [[Folk Tale World]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] (Easter Egg)<br /> <br /> '''Date:''' Monday, August 22, 2005<br /> <br /> '''Running Time:''' 4:10<br /> <br /> '''Page Title:''' Folky Tales<br /> <br /> {{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}<br /> <br /> == Transcript ==<br /> ''{We open to a shot of Strong Sad and Coach Z standing in the Athletic Field, which has been painted to resemble a soccer field.

Just cram a little oom-pah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no times!<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' Look, I'm willing to ignore that ''{winces}'' "oom-pah down my pants" comment, ''{looks back at Coach Z}'' but I'm more concerned ''{looks up at the rope}'' with what that rope is attached to.<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' Never you mind! Just get to climbin'!<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, ropes are for dopes!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' Scripture?<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if ya ask me.<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington...<br /> <br /> ''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides off the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ...who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm. They both died! Isn't that great?<br /> <br /> ''{The girl starts crying. Cut to another area of the field, with a tree stump and squirrel in it.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time. I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?<br /> <br /> ''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles, just sadness and (drunken) misery.<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to a town.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner. And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?!<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to a shot of Saddy and the Mayor standing in the town square.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So one day, the Mayor ordered&mdash;<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Oh, I know this part! <br /> <br /> ''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}'' <br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers&mdash; <br /> <br /> ''{A paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS". Saddy and the Mayor each walk off either side of the screen as the three Dancing Brothers slide to the center.}'' <br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' &mdash;to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival! <br /> <br /> ''{Motown-style music starts playing, and the brothers start dancing}''<br /> <br /> '''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a good time tonight!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look at 'em go!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real"}'' good time toni&mdash; <br /> <br /> ''{The music stops abruptly with a record scratch}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately! <br /> <br /> ''{The shoes break, and a cane drags the brothers off-screen.

Isn't that&mdash;<br /> <br /> ''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy.

Saddy is walking through it.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of critters 'long the way.<br /> <br /> ''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket. You have no central nervous system, so it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to another area of the woods, where Saddy is talking to a fox.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers?<br /> <br /> ''{Saddy looks around.

The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas! <br /> <br /> ''{The Brothers start sneezing}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, jeez, that's harsh!<br /> <br /> ''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then one day, ol' Dumps here got a message from town! <br /> <br /> ''{An arrow with a message attached flies into a tree.

My name is Weird Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives. <br /> <br /> ''{The townsfolk all collapse, and one person falls from above the frame.

The drawings themselves are not bitmaps.<br /> <br /> ===Remarks===<br /> *Strong Sad says that "Ropes are for dopes" is a quote from the legendary folk hero he made up, but neither ropes nor dopes are mentioned in the story itself, or the blog entry where Saddy Dumpington first appeared.<br /> *In the scene where the townsfolk laugh until they pass out, the man in the front left looks identical to the man in the back right, only mirrored.

Just get to climbin'!<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, ropes are for dopes!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' Scripture?<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if ya ask me.<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington...<br /> <br /> ''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides off the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ...who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm. They both died! Isn't that great?<br /> <br /> ''{The girl starts crying. Cut to another area of the field, with a tree stump and squirrel in it.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time. I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?<br /> <br /> ''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles, just sadness and misery.<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to a town.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner. And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?!<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to a shot of Saddy and the Mayor standing in the town square.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So one day, the Mayor ordered&mdash;<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Oh, I know this part! <br /> <br /> ''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}'' <br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers&mdash; <br /> <br /> ''{A paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS". Saddy and the Mayor each walk off either side of the screen as the three Dancing Brothers slide to the center.}'' <br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' &mdash;to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival! <br /> <br /> ''{Motown-style music starts playing, and the brothers start dancing}''<br /> <br /> '''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a good time tonight!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look at 'em go!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real"}'' good time toni&mdash; <br /> <br /> ''{The music stops abruptly with a record scratch}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately! <br /> <br /> ''{The shoes break, and a cane drags the brothers off-screen. Saddy and the Mayor fly back onto the screen from the left.}'' <br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Mayor then ordered Saddy Dumpington to leave town and never speak to its citizens again.<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' But, Mr. Mayor, sometimes, dogs get so hungry, they eat their own tails! Isn't that&mdash;<br /> <br /> ''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy.

Saddy is walking through it.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of critters 'long the way.<br /> <br /> ''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket. You have no central nervous system, so it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to another area of the woods, where Saddy is talking to a fox.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers?<br /> <br /> ''{Saddy looks around.

''{music begins playing.}''<br /> <br /> '''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time toni&mdash; <br /> <br /> ''{Again, the music scratches to a halt. The Dancing Brothers look dejected}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No! The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas! <br /> <br /> ''{The Brothers start sneezing}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, jeez, that's harsh!<br /> <br /> ''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then one day, ol' Dumps here got a message from town! <br /> <br /> ''{An arrow with a message attached flies into a tree. Cut to a close-up of the letter.

I've never thought of such a thing. <br /> <br /> ''{An odd-looking purple snake with a tuft of hair on its head slithers toward Saddy.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Um... would weird snakes be considered depressing?<br /> <br /> ''{cut to an evening shot of the field. Saddy is silhouetted against the background and appears to be wearing an odd tail.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So he strolled into town, dressed as a weird snake.<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to the town. Saddy Dumpington is wearing a costume reminiscent of the weird snake he found by the pond. All the townsfolk are laughing.}''<br /> <br /> '''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I'm a weird, weird snake, everyone. My name is Weird Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives. <br /> <br /> ''{The townsfolk all collapse, and one person falls from above the frame. Cut back to the Athletic Field, the rope and Coach Z still present.}''<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' And that brings me to this rope. I'm gonna pass out if I have to climb this rope!<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' Man, Strong Sad, that's a real load right there. A ''real load!'' That kind of thing might work on Coach X, or Coach Y, ''{loudly}'' ''but you're dealing with Coach dang Z!!'' Now get up that rope!!! <br /> <br /> ''{Strong Sad moans and passes out}''<br /> <br /> '''COACH Z:''' Oh, jeez! I killed the Elephant Man!! Oh, this is bad! This is rrrl bad, man!

To help do this, pause the toon by right-clicking and unchecking play.<br /> <br /> ==Fun Facts==<br /> <br /> ===Explanations===<br /> <br /> *A [[Wikipedia:Jew's harp|Jew's harp]] is an ancient Eurasian instrument, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp. Some believe it is called a 'juice harp' because the sound of the words 'juice' and 'jews' are similar. It should also be noted that some people consider the term Jew's harp offensive, and that the alternatives are generally preferred.<br /> <br /> ===Trivia===<br /> <br /> *This toon marks the start of Strong Sad's voice becoming more "delicate," though some of his "fatigued" voice still remains at this time.<br /> *This toon also marks the completion of Strong Bad's voice not having the Mexican accent (in other words, he sounds more like how he does today).<br /> *The signs on the trees are as follows:<br /> **3% APR!!! <br /> **The Decemberator 2000 <br /> **Zero Down! <br /> **[[Cheap as Free]] <br /> **buy me! i'm awesome <br /> **No you're not. I am.<br /> *Marzipan's protest signs are as follows:<br /> **DOWN WITH D'WEEN! ''(two signs)''<br /> **I THINK IT'S TOO COMMERCIALIZED! ''(two signs)''<br /> **DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES<br /> *The signs at Bubs' Concession Stand are:<br /> **Concessions By Bubs<br /> **ALL TYPES OF CRAZY CRAP<br /> **WE "GOT" THE GOODS<br /> **decem-berween stuff<br /> *Among the items Homestar finds at Bubs' is a copy of the [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]''. The game's teams were called "The Ricky Fighters" and "The Strong Bads". Evidently, this game is where Strong Bad got his name. This could also be a reference to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], when Strong Bad tells Homestar and Pom Pom that he and Strong Mad are "the best tag-team wrestlers in the world".<br /> *The Peter Frampton poster Homestar finds at the concession stand reads "Frampton Comes Alive!", and is autographed: "To: Strong Bad, Best Wishes! &ndash; P.F."<br /> *This is the first cartoon where [[Decemberween]] is mentioned by its real name.<br /> <br /> ===Remarks===<br /> <br /> *[[A Holiday Greeting]] had the same page title, as well as the same intro and loading screen.<br /> *This cartoon seems to have been made during a transitionary period of sorts: The animation is of the most recent style, but the voices are the type that are associated more with the previous style. Notice, for instance, Homestar's pronunciation of "Strong Bad". Also, Bubs' Concession stand still has its old "Concessions by Bubs" sign, like from [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].<br /> *The calendar at the beginning of the toon only shows 29 days in the month.<br /> *In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Homestar has the shape of a star on his soles. In this toon, if you look at his footprints in the snow, they are just lines.<br /> <br /> ===Goofs===<br /> <br /> *Strong Sad has no arms while he is singing, and Strong Bad has no arms while he is opening Homestar's present.<br /> *During the singing, if you listen closely, you can hear little The Cheat noises. But the Cheat doesn't move until the end.<br /> *When Coach Z and Homestar stop, the "Buy me, I'm awesome" sign on the Christmas tree is covering up a little bit of the tree in front of it.<br /> *Though Strong Sad walks in during the song, he does not appear in the main group shot. Also, Strong Bad snaps back to his original position in the group shot after having moved to block Strong Sad's view.<br /> *When Homestar and Coach Z are walking along together, they don't leave any footprints in the snow.<br /> *When Homestar leans his head back and says, "I know, I know!", the outline on the back of his head goes inside his body and out the back of his shirt.<br /> *When Homestar talks, the outline of his hat gets thinner.<br /> *In the calender credits scene the red X disappears when the 23rd moves to the 24th.<br /> *During the Decemberween song when Bubs and Homestar both sing Bubs's orange outline is outside of his green one.<br /> *The King of Town is missing the bottom part of his robe.<br /> <br /> ===Inside References===<br /> <br /> *The [[Oven Mitts|oven mitts]] are a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], as is Coach Z's quote regarding the "great sports play".<br /> <br /> ===Real-World References===<br /> <br /> *The introduction, with the spinning Special logo and sound effect, is a reference to the logo and sound that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://youtube.com/watch?v=6W9V9SZPHAY here]. This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]], as well as in [[The Luau]] (in this case, only the music was used).<br /> *This toon contains many references to the "[[Peanuts]]" cartoons by Charles Schulz (particularly "A Charlie Brown Christmas"). For example, Homestar wears a winter hat (similar to Charlie Brown's hat) and walks out of a house, along the low brick wall and sighs. In addition, Strong Sad's arms are drawn in a particular way. Also, one of Marzipan's signs reads that Decemberween is too commercial, which is also similarly referenced in "A Charlie Brown Christmas", in which Charlie Brown thinks his dog Snoopy has gone commercial when he sees him decorating his dog house to enter a "lights and display" contest. Finally, it pays further homage at the end, when all the cast gets together and sings a song (which the Peanuts always did in their holiday specials).<br /> *The page title refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison Bakery]], a sponsor of various cartoon specials on CBS -- including Peanuts -- throughout the 1960's and 1970's.<br /> *The title of this 'toon is based on the book, [[Wikipedia:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"]], by [[Wikipedia:Barbara Robinson|Barbara Robinson]]. The plot has nothing in common except for the holiday theme, of course.<br /> *[[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head exploding]] when he opened a present is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]], in which [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Jokey (aka Prisoner)|Jokey Smurf]] would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] (Coach Z's "mouthwarsh") is an over-the-counter mouthwash created by [[Wikipedia:Pfizer|Pfizer Inc.]] With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine, as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the alcohol could take effect.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Deep Impact (film)|Deep Impact]] is a 1998 science fiction film released by [[Wikipedia:Paramount Pictures|Paramount Pictures]] and [[Wikipedia:DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks Pictures]]. The interrelated stories of the plot describe events which take place surrounding the discovery of the fictional comet "Wolf-Biederman" due to impact Earth, and its subsequent approach to our planet.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Chex Mix|Chex party mix]] is a common holiday snack containing [[Wikipedia:Chex|Chex]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]], pretzels, spices, etc.<br /> <br /> ===Fast Forward===<br /> <br /> *Strong Sad getting locked in the bathtub, as mentioned in this toon, is later seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].<br /> *Homestar gives Strong Bad a Deep Impact DVD again in [[Real Live Emails]].<br /> *Coach Z is seen treating [[Listerine]] as an alcoholic drink multiple times after this toon.<br /> <br /> == DVD Version ==<br /> *The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br /> *The Special fanfare has been changed into a skat remix done by the Chapman Bros.. However, the original fanfare can still be heard during the commentary.<br /> {{sectionstub}}<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> <br /> *[[HR:xmas2001.html|watch "The Best Decemberween Ever"]]<br /> *[[HR:xmas2001.swf|view the Flash file for "The Best Decemberween Ever"]]<br /> <br /> {{decemberweennav}}<br /> <br /> {{subtitlesLinks|xmas2001}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Decemberween|Best Decemberween Ever, The]][[Category:DVD Commentary]]</div> Sat, 31 Mar 2007 23:35:10 GMT Trog-Boy90 http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:The_Best_Decemberween_Ever User:Trog-Boy90 http://hrwiki.org/wiki/User:Trog-Boy90 <p>Trog-Boy90: </p> <hr /> <div>And the Trog-Boy90 comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!<br /> I'm Trog-Boy90.

The Peasant's Quest theme is playing. The score is "0 of 1." Rather Dashing walks on in winter attire. The command "look" is typed in, loading up the following text:}''<br /> <br /> <blockquote>Even your burninated hovel<br/><br /> looks picturesque in the<br/><br /> cold Peasantry snow. Oh,<br/><br /> and there's a snowglobe on<br/><br /> the ground. That's what<br/><br /> that red and blue thing is.<br/><br /> A snowglobe.</blockquote><br /> <br /> ''{The command "get snowglobe" is typed. Rather Dashing picks up the globe, and the score changes to "1 of 1." The following text appears, as the "got item" sound from Peasant's Quest plays:}''<br /> <br /> <blockquote>Hey! It's a Trogdor snow<br/><br /> globe! Now you have a<br/><br /> Decemberween present for<br/><br /> Nana. Score!</blockquote><br /> <br /> ''{The Trogdor snow globe appears on-screen, with the text "Greetings from Peasantry" on the base.}''<br /> <br /> == Easter Eggs ==<br /> *At the end you can shake the snowglobe. After you've shaken it for 30 seconds a "Time Wasted" counter will keep track of how much time you've spent shaking the snowglobe. The timer will count up as long as either you hold down the mouse button or the stuff in the snowglobe is moving.<br /> *When the timer hits 2 minutes you will get this message (spoken by Trogdor himself):<br /> <br /> <blockquote>Congratulations! You<br/><br /> wasted more time than any-<br/><br /> body else ever has. Happy<br/><br /> Decemberween, peasant.<br/><br /> Your life will be spared<br/><br /> for another day.</blockquote><br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> ===Trivia===<br /> *At 5908:33 the time will stop.<br /> <br /> ===Remarks===<br /> *Rather Dashing still wears his short pants, even though it's winter.<br /> *You can press Enter or the spacebar to advance to the next event instead of clicking the text (or you could just wait).<br /> <br /> ===Glitches===<br /> *Sometimes while shaking the globe, a peasant or two will poke their heads out of the glass.<br /> *Some peasants may suddenly move to the ground of the globe if it is shaken quickly enough.<br /> *Peasants will move suddenly to the ground if you drag the globe slowly downwards.<br /> In the Flash File, if you press play, Trogdor's message will play automatically.<br /> <br /> == DVD Version ==<br /> *Trogdor's message Easter Egg is automatically enabled.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> *[[HR:xmas04_pq.html|view the snow globe]]<br /> *[[HR:xmas04_pq.swf|view the Flash file for the snow globe]]<br /> *[[Forum:1524|forum thread re: "Snow Globe"]]<br /> <br /> {{Peasant's Quest}}<br /> {{decemberweennav}}<br /> <br /> {{subtitlesLinks|xmas04 pq}}<br /> <br /> [[Category: Decemberween]][[Category:Peasant's Quest]]</div> Sat, 31 Mar 2007 02:04:59 GMT Trog-Boy90 http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Snowglobe L.U.R.N. http://hrwiki.org/wiki/L.U.R.N. <p>Trog-Boy90: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:LURN logo corrected.png|thumb|left|The L.U.R.N logo]]<br /> [[Image:Homestar reportcard 3.png|thumb|A sample L.U.R.N. report card]]<br /> '''Life-Blossoms Undergoing Re-programming Naturally''', also known by the [[Acronyms and Initialisms|acronym]] '''L.U.R.N.''', is a "pretty standard" cult headed by [[Marzipan]] that meets in [[The Classroom]], as seen in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[coloring]]. The subordinate members of L.U.R.N. are referred to as "life blossoms" and include [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], and [[Homsar]].<br /> <br /> Life blossoms engage in activities using crayons with politically correct color names that cannot actually be used to color, lest any one pupil outshine the rest. Other foci of the L.U.R.N. curriculum include crayon consumption, ethical treatment of soy products, and other environmentally-conscious subjects. Life blossoms' grades in these subjects are distributed in the form of roots, grass, leaves, and [[Birds|birds]]. It is apparent Homestar gets Fs, as Marzipan stated.
