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

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

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

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

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

== Toons and E-mails ==
===[[ghosts]]===
The rock and role band "PETRA" relesed a CD in 1986 called "Captured In Time And Space."
this may have a resenblents to the area strong sad is in.

*'''Weak Decline.''' Not really that similar. I would've gone neutral but you made an entire heading for it and you spelled "resemblence" wrong. Completely wrong. Before adding your stuff, be sure to look at the standards page :-) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:40, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You used bad grammar and spelling, too. [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 16:53, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[animal]]===

====Sterrance====
Sterrance's feet look remarkably like the feet of Mickey Mouse

*'''Accept'''. It makes sense. The Sterrance page says he looks like a doodle from Disney's Toontown, and Mickey Mouse is also a Disney character. And They do look like his feet ----68.236.51.28
*'''Decline.''' It doesn't seem that way to me... I'd definitely not say that they look "remarkably" similar.

===[[funny]]===

====Awesome Sauce====
Is "Awesome Sauce" a reference to "[[Awexome Cross]]"?
*'''Decline.''' I see no connection whatsoever. →[[user:evin290|evin290]]15:53, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Neither do I, so '''second'''. [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:08, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' →[[User:j to the sag|j to the sag]]

====409====
409 is a reference to Formula 409, a cleaner/degreaser by Clorox.
*'''Weak accept.''' This is pretty obvious, but I'll let it slide... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 15:53, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''', because it's a little ''too'' obvious. [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:08, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I'm British, I didn't know. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 06:37, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]]===
According to the markings on the wall of the jail, the Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week.

*'''Decline. ''' Fairly obvious to anyone watching the cartoon. Besides, the marks on the wall are common cliches in jail settings. Thats why they're there, to act as a visual gag NOT to tell us how long Strong Bad and a The Cheat have been there.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''accept.''' Good fact... →[[User:j to the sag|j to the sag]]
*'''Accept.''' I never noticed. Maybe a slight rephrase is in order, however. Something like "If the marks on the wall are accurate, then the Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week." - [[User:Rebochan|Rebochan]] 10:07, 31 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[stunt double]]===

====Lemmer====

"The Lemmer" in the above article is a reference to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]

*'''Decline. '''Not fun, not a fact. It's probably not even a reference to Lem. It could be a reference to Lemke - the real homestar runner :-) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:19, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline!''' According to the DVD commentary, this IS a reference to Lemke What's-His-Last-Name. I hate sports, but it's true. [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 19:24, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

==== Fifty frickin' wings ====
The King's line "fifty frickin' wings" could be referring to Fricker's, a restaurant famous for their "frickin' chicken wings."
*'''Neutral''' I've never head of Fricker's. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 14:50, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Could've sworn I've seen this one submitted before...if not, theres still not much to go on with this one proof wise.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' It doesn't get any clearer than this.
*Is it in Georgia or thereabouts? If not it's probably not a reference. I'm not going to say accept or decline since I don't have an actual username. I used to but I forgot it.
*'''Accept''' I support this one because I do not think TBC would use the word "frickin'" to sound like a well known four-letter word in the english language. --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]
**There's "THE FRIGGIN CHEAT" in [[local news]]. [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 12:35, 27 Jan 2005 (MST)
**This is true...but from what I was taught, frickin' is stronger than just friggin --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]

==== I've lost my napkin! ====
*The King's line "I've lost uhmmm-my napkin!" is a reference to [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*'''Decline'''. I don't see the reference. The King of Town loses a crown, and a Poopsmith. Neither of these is remotely similar to a napkin. I wouldn't have STUFFed this fact if I did see the reference :) [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 19:31, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' - this is waaay out there. Voice-Over IPs has NOTHING to do with random laser-beam sound effects; it's entirely coincidental. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:27, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'd!!!''' Dag, yo. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:09, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:16, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 16:36, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' Writing a sound as a word is Otomotophoya. [[User: drivec|drivec]]
***The word is "Otomotopia". I'd really love to know where you got the "phoya" from. :-P --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:18, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
****Don't you both mean "[[Wikipedia:Onomatopoeia|Onomatopoeia]]"? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 11:02, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
*****Eh, I did a search and found the spelling I used. At least I had the right PRONUNCIATION. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:56, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
******"onomato" doesn't sound much like "otomoto", but you were mostly in the ball park, yes. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 20:31, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]===

====Quotation'd====
When the Intercom Robot announces the next band is Kissyboots, it says, "Next up is "Kissyboots ", without the second quotation mark.
*<s>'''Neutral for now''' I don't think that's true lemme go check up on that. I'm pretty sure you're wrong. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 11:56, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
*'''Decline''' I rewatched it and the second quotation is definitely in there. '''UNFACTUAL'D''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:02, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**What? Did you not see when the Ugly One got Floor Tommed, Step Mommed, and Pom Pommed? It was pretty clear she was dead.[[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 10:30, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''', actually, since it's quite true; The Ugly One was very much DEAD at that point in the flick. So... who was playing drums? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 11:17, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Its a suitable glitch. On the other hand, who really expects the Brothers Chap to redo the song each time one of the girls died? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second''' --[[User:Ian|Ian]] 20:35, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'd''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:52, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'd'd!''' -[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 17:01, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' -- All teen bands mime.
**'''What The??''' riiiight... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]
*'''accept.''' This is pretty obvious, but I'll let it slide... →[[User:j to the sag|j to the sag]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?
: Or SB's overactive imagination. After all, giant brain machines, suns becoming buzzsaws, and man-eating drums are the norm in TGS... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:45, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It's not a reference to anything, it's just a regular TGS bizzarre occurrence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:16, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:47, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*Also the fish the bass (guitar) turns into is a shark, not a bass (fish) '''Decline''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:54, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''accept''' What's He Face is always labelled with negative phrases, such as unpopular, pity friend, whatev, shop lifting, same clothes, Wants a new stepdad and Lice and More. So it makes sense for her radio taste to be "College Radio" because that is, an "utter misery" (according to Strong Bad).--82.44.103.117

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***Correction: it USED to say she bears a striking resemblance. Somebody decided to remove that text that I added. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:13, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
****Well, it seems pretty presumptuous to me. I'm going to change the page to NPOV until we agree over whether they're the same. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 09:49, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I must agree. Actually, I added the "unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson" after the fact was added, mostly for that very reason. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:35, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**How about: "Smartly Pretty is spelled with Math terms, which shows So and So's math obsession." --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]
***'''Second''' that. [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:17, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*Why not just put it on So and So's bio page as a character quirk? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline.''' So-and-So is just a nerd. Not notable. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' [[User:Ian|Ian]] 20:37, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:52, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 21:52, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' That is, '''Decline''' for reasons stated above. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 22:00, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' But if this one gets removed, we're going to seriously have to take a look at some of the other Real life references that DID make the list (like the Saved by the Bell and Nickelodeon ones) that have even less to go on. - [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**If you think other facts should be removed, Donny, then put them on this page. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 12:19, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Meh, doesn't matter that much. But if you are going to dismiss someone's fun fact on the grounds that its obscure, it really is only fair to go after equally obscure ones.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Decline''' for reasons stated above. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:54, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Makes sense to me--[[User:205.174.123.14|205.174.123.14]] 14:33, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 12:00, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Rewrite, accept.''' I think this is clearly a reference to Strong Bad being the principal of CGNU. Perhaps saying something about that without saying that they go there would be more appropriate. [[User:209.175.21.2|209.175.21.2]]

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.

**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]

***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''good' Thats good to know you actually listened to it before declining. Keep in mind, the sound quality could effect it. Someone should host an SWF of the echoes excerpt, so we can REALLY confirm this...
*'''Decline''' At first I thought they were the same sound, and they do sound pretty similar, but after a close comparison in Goldwave, it's pretty clear the Chaps are just using a generic ping that sounds similar to this note. I've made an audio file for comparison purposes; the first sound is from Echoes, the second is from Dreamail, and the third is the ping from Echoes mixed into the Dreamail clip. [[Media:dreammail-echoes.ogg]] --[[User:HeartBurn Kid|HeartBurn Kid]] 10:51, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Because you have to hear the song and really pay attention to a certain part, I believe that even if it is from the song, it's not fun enough, and also I don't think it's worth putting up fun facts that require anything that need proof from anything other than something easily accessable.

E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary.

==== Length Of Grabbo Arm ====
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird.

==== Blade man ====

The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].

*'''Decline.''' This, and the phone without the wire, is a reference to a disturbingly dark cartoon "Salad Fingers" whose title character enjoys touching rusty objects and once used a similar phone.
**You need to sign your decline, please. Otherwise, it doesn't count. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:34, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral.''' It's possible, but it's more likely that the rusty steak knife was more of a prelude to Coach Z's Decemberween TV dinner. He didn't seem to have any utensils to eat the salisbury steak with. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:34, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Alms for the poor ====

Homsar's line "Alms for the pudgy!" is a reference to the common call in Ye Olde London Towne "Alms for the poor!" (as shown in Christmas Carol and others).

*'''Decline.''' Complete speculation. Some people don't seem to understand that H*R is a silly cartoon, not a carefully thought out parody. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 23:56, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

Homsar "ringing" the paintbrush may be a reference to the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz sync. One of the syncs is a paintbrush being moved up and down, and a bell ringing.

[[Homestar's House | Homestar's room]] is up a flight of stairs, so it's probably on the second floor.

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar always confuses have and has ====
Homestar saying "Still has what it takes" is a reference to the email "army"

==== It's odd considering... ====

It's odd considering Homestar went to bed on the 23rd and didn't wake up till decemberween that his tear-away calender was on the 25th. He obviosly didn't change it because he was sleeping.

==== Alms for the Pudgy ====

Homsar's line "Alms for the pudgy!" might be a reference to the movie "Ben-Hur", in which a blind beggar calls out "Alms for the blind!"

*'''Decline.''' The phrase "Alms for the poor" or words to that effect have been in countless books, movies, plays, and television shows. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 13:54, 26 Dec 2004 (MST)

*'''Accept.''' If ever one loved his electrical tape, twas Pom Pom.

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====

Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

==== "state trooper" ====
Homsar's line "You're a real state trooper" is a commonly mistaken lyric from the song '''Straight Shooter''' by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric is "You're a real straight shooter." [[User: Terra Rising|Terra Rising]] Dec 27, 2004 1:40 AM (PST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

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

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====
The e-mail is from Dan, although Homestar refers to him as Jerome.

*<s>'''Delete.''' Already mentioned in the transcript. -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]</s>
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]
*My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better "Decline" argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
**I reiterate: [[old comics]] was more subtle. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*This appears to be accepted, but someone has already added it in a different form. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 15:08, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== hellboy ====
"Pamcakes" might be referring to a two page story which appears in Mike Mignola's "Right Hand of Doom" graphic novel in the "Hellboy" stable. The 2004 film version also contains this mispronounciation of the word.

*'''Slightly Decline''' The scoreboard may not be turned off. It may not be lit, so much as it displays the number. So, ''in theory'', it could be on.

=== [[pizzaz]] ===

==== Biscuit Dough Relations ====
Biscuit Dough Man is related to Strong Bad and therefore is also related to Strong Mad, Strong Bad, and The Cheat. This is not the only Homestar Runner relationship; Marzipan is the King of Town's father.

*'''Decline.''' What? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:34, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Let's roll through this with you. Biscuit dough hands man is not related to anybody! He's an "artist's interpretation" of what Strong Bad would look like. Why is the Cheat in this list? He's not related to the Brothers Strong. Marzipan is a woman and she is young. How could she be the king of town's ''father?'' Overall, I'd have to say that this is not very smart. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 13:25, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Talk about getting your genders mixed up. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:35, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Very very very strong decline''' 1. What does this add to the pizazz article? 2. What evidence do we have that SB and BDHM are related? 3. What do the other relationships even have to do with the original (useless) fact in question? 4. How is The Cheat related to the Brothers Strong? 5 and 6. The '''King of Town''' is no longer stated to be '''Marzipan's''' father. What genius added this? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:48, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Prepetually Accept''' It's obvious here that Marzipan has had several (possibly successful) sex-change operations as noted in the following emails: [[virus]] [[50 emails]] [[i love you]] [[sbemail_22]] [[flashback]]. Furthermore, it makes sense that Marzipan is the King of Town's father and not the other way around because if the King of Town had a child, he would have eaten it. Case closed.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person. Or just a made-up one, which is why it's funny that strong bad's interviewing him... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:38, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

HRWiki:Old STUFF

olene — Tue, 01 Feb 2005 07:37:27 GMT

olene: Added wrap?!

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

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

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

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

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

According to the markings on the wall of the jail, the Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week.

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

==== Fifty frickin' wings ====
The King's line "fifty frickin' wings" could be referring to Fricker's, a restaurant famous for their "frickin' chicken wings."
*'''Neutral''' I've never head of Fricker's. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 14:50, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Accept''' It doesn't get any clearer than this.
*Is it in Georgia or thereabouts? If not it's probably not a reference. I'm not going to say accept or decline since I don't have an actual username. I used to but I forgot it.
*'''Accept''' I support this one because I do not think TBC would use the word "frickin'" to sound like a well known four-letter word in the english language. --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]

==== I've lost my napkin! ====
*The King's line "I've lost uhmmm-my napkin!" is a reference to [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*'''Decline'''. I don't see the reference. The King of Town loses a crown, and a Poopsmith. Neither of these is remotely similar to a napkin. I wouldn't have STUFFed this fact if I did see the reference :) [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 19:31, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.

*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today.

When the Intercom Robot announces the next band is Kissyboots, it says, "Next up is "Kissyboots ", without the second quotation mark.

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''accept''' What's He Face is always labelled with negative phrases, such as unpopular, pity friend, whatev, shop lifting, same clothes, Wants a new stepdad and Lice and More. So it makes sense for her radio taste to be "College Radio" because that is, an "utter misery" (according to Strong Bad).--82.44.103.117

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 12:00, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Rewrite, accept.''' I think this is clearly a reference to Strong Bad being the principal of CGNU. Perhaps saying something about that without saying that they go there would be more appropriate. [[User:209.175.21.2|209.175.21.2]]

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
*'''Accept''' You can absolutely tell that that is the ping from Echoes. It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]

**'''second''' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)
***Okay, now that someone else notices it, I'm not so sure if I'm still declining it...edit: now that two people notice it, i'm definetely not. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.
:This way, everyone will have heard the fact in question and will make the voting far more fair. Anyone who thinks I should do this, please respond. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 00:14, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''good' Thats good to know you actually listened to it before declining. Keep in mind, the sound quality could effect it. Someone should host an SWF of the echoes excerpt, so we can REALLY confirm this...
*'''Decline''' At first I thought they were the same sound, and they do sound pretty similar, but after a close comparison in Goldwave, it's pretty clear the Chaps are just using a generic ping that sounds similar to this note. I've made an audio file for comparison purposes; the first sound is from Echoes, the second is from Dreamail, and the third is the ping from Echoes mixed into the Dreamail clip. [[Media:dreammail-echoes.ogg]] --[[User:HeartBurn Kid|HeartBurn Kid]] 10:51, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Because you have to hear the song and really pay attention to a certain part, I believe that even if it is from the song, it's not fun enough, and also I don't think it's worth putting up fun facts that require anything that need proof from anything other than something easily accessable.

==== Mormon Missionary ====
E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are not allowed to use the Internet during that time.

==== Length Of Grabbo Arm ====
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite''' To something like:
*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story.

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====

Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

==== "state trooper" ====
Homsar's line "You're a real state trooper" is a commonly mistaken lyric from the song '''Straight Shooter''' by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric is "You're a real straight shooter." [[User: Terra Rising|Terra Rising]] Dec 27, 2004 1:40 AM (PST)

(Correction: I made a mistake. The line in the song is "'''I'm''' a real straight shooter" Homsar is talking in the second person. (re: "''Hi, Wonder Mike''" in his characters video.) [[User: Terra Rising|Terra Rising]] Dec 29, 2004 7:34 PM (PST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot", sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness". --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:47, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

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

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Weak decline.''' This isn't really very significant. But if the majority vote for it to be put on [[Lappy 486]], I'll concede. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

**There would be no STUFF if not for that. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly.

Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against).

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====
The e-mail is from Dan, although Homestar refers to him as Jerome.

**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

What do the other relationships even have to do with the original (useless) fact in question? 4. How is The Cheat related to the Brothers Strong? 5 and 6. The '''King of Town''' is no longer stated to be '''Marzipan's''' father. What genius added this? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:48, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Prepetually Accept''' It's obvious here that Marzipan has had several (possibly successful) sex-change operations as noted in the following emails: [[virus]] [[50 emails]] [[i love you]] [[sbemail_22]] [[flashback]]. Furthermore, it makes sense that Marzipan is the King of Town's father and not the other way around because if the King of Town had a child, he would have eaten it. Case closed.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person. Or just a made-up one, which is why it's funny that strong bad's interviewing him... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:38, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

The circular shape, Western theme, suggestion of locomotion, and after-school nature of this snack add up to a [[TBC]] homage. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 03:05, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I suppose that's interesting. --[[User:67.161.224.65|67.161.224.65]]
*'''Rewrite''' Fun facts shouldn't reference "me". The wiki is supposed to be informational, like an encyclopedia. -- [[User:Tim333|Tim333]]

==== Trust ====
In both the [[The King of Town DVD]] and the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] commentaries, Strong bad says, "You can't trust him as far as you can throw him." This may be a referance to the "Employee of the Month" SpongeBob episode where Squidward says almost the exact same thing.

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

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

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

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

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

== Toons and E-mails ==
===[[ghosts]]===
The rock and role band "PETRA" relesed a CD in 1986 called "Captured In Time And Space."
this may have a resenblents to the area strong sad is in.

*'''Weak Decline.''' Not really that similar. I would've gone neutral but you made an entire heading for it and you spelled "resemblence" wrong. Completely wrong. Before adding your stuff, be sure to look at the standards page :-) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:40, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You used bad grammar and spelling, too. [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 16:53, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[animal]]===

====Sterrance====
Sterrance's feet look remarkably like the feet of Mickey Mouse

*'''Accept'''. It makes sense. The Sterrance page says he looks like a doodle from Disney's Toontown, and Mickey Mouse is also a Disney character. And They do look like his feet ----68.236.51.28
*'''Decline.''' It doesn't seem that way to me... I'd definitely not say that they look "remarkably" similar.

===[[funny]]===

====Awesome Sauce====
Is "Awesome Sauce" a reference to "[[Awexome Cross]]"?
*'''Decline.''' I see no connection whatsoever. →[[user:evin290|evin290]]15:53, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' →[[User:j to the sag|j to the sag]]

====409====
409 is a reference to Formula 409, a cleaner/degreaser by Clorox.
*'''Weak accept.''' This is pretty obvious, but I'll let it slide... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 15:53, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''', because it's a little ''too'' obvious. [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:08, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I'm British, I didn't know. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 06:37, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]]===
According to the markings on the wall of the jail, the Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week.

*'''Decline. ''' Fairly obvious to anyone watching the cartoon. Besides, the marks on the wall are common cliches in jail settings. Thats why they're there, to act as a visual gag NOT to tell us how long Strong Bad and a The Cheat have been there.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''accept.''' Good fact... →[[User:j to the sag|j to the sag]]
*'''Accept.''' I never noticed. Maybe a slight rephrase is in order, however. Something like "If the marks on the wall are accurate, then the Cheat and Strong Bad have been in jail for about a week." - [[User:Rebochan|Rebochan]] 10:07, 31 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[stunt double]]===

====Lemmer====

"The Lemmer" in the above article is a reference to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]

*'''Decline. '''Not fun, not a fact. It's probably not even a reference to Lem. It could be a reference to Lemke - the real homestar runner :-) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:19, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline!''' According to the DVD commentary, this IS a reference to Lemke What's-His-Last-Name. I hate sports, but it's true. [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 19:24, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

==== Fifty frickin' wings ====
The King's line "fifty frickin' wings" could be referring to Fricker's, a restaurant famous for their "frickin' chicken wings."
*'''Neutral''' I've never head of Fricker's. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 14:50, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Could've sworn I've seen this one submitted before...if not, theres still not much to go on with this one proof wise.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' It doesn't get any clearer than this.
*Is it in Georgia or thereabouts? If not it's probably not a reference. I'm not going to say accept or decline since I don't have an actual username. I used to but I forgot it.
*'''Accept''' I support this one because I do not think TBC would use the word "frickin'" to sound like a well known four-letter word in the english language. --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]
**There's "THE FRIGGIN CHEAT" in [[local news]]. [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 12:35, 27 Jan 2005 (MST)
**This is true...but from what I was taught, frickin' is stronger than just friggin --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]

==== I've lost my napkin! ====
*The King's line "I've lost uhmmm-my napkin!" is a reference to [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*'''Decline'''. I don't see the reference. The King of Town loses a crown, and a Poopsmith. Neither of these is remotely similar to a napkin. I wouldn't have STUFFed this fact if I did see the reference :) [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 19:31, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' - this is waaay out there. Voice-Over IPs has NOTHING to do with random laser-beam sound effects; it's entirely coincidental. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:27, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

***The word is "Otomotopia". I'd really love to know where you got the "phoya" from. :-P --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:18, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
****Don't you both mean "[[Wikipedia:Onomatopoeia|Onomatopoeia]]"? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 11:02, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
*****Eh, I did a search and found the spelling I used. At least I had the right PRONUNCIATION. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:56, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]===

====Quotation'd====
When the Intercom Robot announces the next band is Kissyboots, it says, "Next up is "Kissyboots ", without the second quotation mark.
*<s>'''Neutral for now''' I don't think that's true lemme go check up on that. I'm pretty sure you're wrong. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 11:56, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
*'''Decline''' I rewatched it and the second quotation is definitely in there. '''UNFACTUAL'D''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:02, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**What? Did you not see when the Ugly One got Floor Tommed, Step Mommed, and Pom Pommed? It was pretty clear she was dead.[[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 10:30, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''', actually, since it's quite true; The Ugly One was very much DEAD at that point in the flick. So... who was playing drums? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 11:17, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Its a suitable glitch. On the other hand, who really expects the Brothers Chap to redo the song each time one of the girls died? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second''' --[[User:Ian|Ian]] 20:35, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'd''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:52, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline''' -- All teen bands mime.
**'''What The??''' riiiight... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]
*'''accept.''' This is pretty obvious, but I'll let it slide... →[[User:j to the sag|j to the sag]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?
: Or SB's overactive imagination. After all, giant brain machines, suns becoming buzzsaws, and man-eating drums are the norm in TGS... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:45, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' It's not a reference to anything, it's just a regular TGS bizzarre occurrence. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:16, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:47, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*Also the fish the bass (guitar) turns into is a shark, not a bass (fish) '''Decline''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:54, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''accept''' What's He Face is always labelled with negative phrases, such as unpopular, pity friend, whatev, shop lifting, same clothes, Wants a new stepdad and Lice and More. So it makes sense for her radio taste to be "College Radio" because that is, an "utter misery" (according to Strong Bad).--82.44.103.117

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***Correction: it USED to say she bears a striking resemblance. Somebody decided to remove that text that I added. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:13, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
****Well, it seems pretty presumptuous to me. I'm going to change the page to NPOV until we agree over whether they're the same. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 09:49, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I must agree. Actually, I added the "unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson" after the fact was added, mostly for that very reason. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:35, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**How about: "Smartly Pretty is spelled with Math terms, which shows So and So's math obsession." --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]
***'''Second''' that. [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:17, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*Why not just put it on So and So's bio page as a character quirk? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline.''' So-and-So is just a nerd. Not notable. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' [[User:Ian|Ian]] 20:37, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:52, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 21:52, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' That is, '''Decline''' for reasons stated above. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 22:00, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' But if this one gets removed, we're going to seriously have to take a look at some of the other Real life references that DID make the list (like the Saved by the Bell and Nickelodeon ones) that have even less to go on. - [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**If you think other facts should be removed, Donny, then put them on this page. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 12:19, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Meh, doesn't matter that much. But if you are going to dismiss someone's fun fact on the grounds that its obscure, it really is only fair to go after equally obscure ones.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Decline''' for reasons stated above. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:54, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Makes sense to me--[[User:205.174.123.14|205.174.123.14]] 14:33, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 12:00, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Rewrite, accept.''' I think this is clearly a reference to Strong Bad being the principal of CGNU. Perhaps saying something about that without saying that they go there would be more appropriate. [[User:209.175.21.2|209.175.21.2]]

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]

***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.
:This way, everyone will have heard the fact in question and will make the voting far more fair. Anyone who thinks I should do this, please respond. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 00:14, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Personally I was abstaining from voting since I'd not heard the song... the clip'd help infinitely, methinks. Do it, please. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 00:25, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''good' Thats good to know you actually listened to it before declining. Keep in mind, the sound quality could effect it. Someone should host an SWF of the echoes excerpt, so we can REALLY confirm this...
*'''Decline''' At first I thought they were the same sound, and they do sound pretty similar, but after a close comparison in Goldwave, it's pretty clear the Chaps are just using a generic ping that sounds similar to this note. I've made an audio file for comparison purposes; the first sound is from Echoes, the second is from Dreamail, and the third is the ping from Echoes mixed into the Dreamail clip. [[Media:dreammail-echoes.ogg]] --[[User:HeartBurn Kid|HeartBurn Kid]] 10:51, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Because you have to hear the song and really pay attention to a certain part, I believe that even if it is from the song, it's not fun enough, and also I don't think it's worth putting up fun facts that require anything that need proof from anything other than something easily accessable.

E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary.

==== Length Of Grabbo Arm ====
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

==== Alms for the poor ====

Homsar's line "Alms for the pudgy!" is a reference to the common call in Ye Olde London Towne "Alms for the poor!" (as shown in Christmas Carol and others).

Homsar "ringing" the paintbrush may be a reference to the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz sync. One of the syncs is a paintbrush being moved up and down, and a bell ringing.

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar always confuses have and has ====
Homestar saying "Still has what it takes" is a reference to the email "army"

==== Alms for the Pudgy ====

Homsar's line "Alms for the pudgy!" might be a reference to the movie "Ben-Hur", in which a blind beggar calls out "Alms for the blind!"

*'''Accept.''' If ever one loved his electrical tape, twas Pom Pom.

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====

Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

==== "state trooper" ====
Homsar's line "You're a real state trooper" is a commonly mistaken lyric from the song '''Straight Shooter''' by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric is "You're a real straight shooter." [[User: Terra Rising|Terra Rising]] Dec 27, 2004 1:40 AM (PST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

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

When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====
The e-mail is from Dan, although Homestar refers to him as Jerome.

*<s>'''Delete.''' Already mentioned in the transcript. -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]]</s>
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]
*My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better "Decline" argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript. This is definitely the most subtle name-switch in all the SB emails, hence it's not necessary to note every time it's happened elsewhere. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
**I reiterate: [[old comics]] was more subtle. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*This appears to be accepted, but someone has already added it in a different form. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 15:08, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

***Well, it says that the arena is dark, which implies it. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Slightly Decline''' The scoreboard may not be turned off. It may not be lit, so much as it displays the number. So, ''in theory'', it could be on.

==== Biscuit Dough Relations ====
Biscuit Dough Man is related to Strong Bad and therefore is also related to Strong Mad, Strong Bad, and The Cheat. This is not the only Homestar Runner relationship; Marzipan is the King of Town's father.

*'''Decline.''' What? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:34, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Let's roll through this with you. Biscuit dough hands man is not related to anybody! He's an "artist's interpretation" of what Strong Bad would look like. Why is the Cheat in this list? He's not related to the Brothers Strong. Marzipan is a woman and she is young. How could she be the king of town's ''father?'' Overall, I'd have to say that this is not very smart. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 13:25, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Talk about getting your genders mixed up. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:35, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Very very very strong decline''' 1. What does this add to the pizazz article? 2. What evidence do we have that SB and BDHM are related? 3. What do the other relationships even have to do with the original (useless) fact in question? 4. How is The Cheat related to the Brothers Strong? 5 and 6. The '''King of Town''' is no longer stated to be '''Marzipan's''' father. What genius added this? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:48, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Prepetually Accept''' It's obvious here that Marzipan has had several (possibly successful) sex-change operations as noted in the following emails: [[virus]] [[50 emails]] [[i love you]] [[sbemail_22]] [[flashback]]. Furthermore, it makes sense that Marzipan is the King of Town's father and not the other way around because if the King of Town had a child, he would have eaten it. Case closed.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person. Or just a made-up one, which is why it's funny that strong bad's interviewing him... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:38, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

olene: Removed myself from list of offenders (i obviously am not a troll)

A WikiTroll is a person who purposefully defaces a document on a wiki. There are a few methods in place for dealing with WikiTrolls.

==How to revert a page==
Any page can be reverted back to a previous version. Here's how:
*''sysop:'' Simply click "history" at the top of the page you wish to roll back. Position the radio buttons at the current version and the version you want to roll back to, then click "Compare selected versions". Next, click the "rollback" link near the upper right side of the page (directly to the right of the most recent author's name).
*''non-sysop:'' Simply click "history" at the top of the page you wish to roll back. Then click on the time and date of the archived version you want to revert back to. The page will appear with the version indicated at the top of the page, just underneath the page title. Next, click "edit" at the top of the page. Add a note in the Summary box that you are reverting the page because of a troll, and then click "Save page".

After repeated defacings, an offender's IP address can be blocked by [[Special:Listadmins|several users]] who have admin rights. These admins pay careful attention to this page, and will [[Special:Ipblocklist|block]] IP addresses where/when appropriate.

== Known Offenders ==
If you see any suspicious, defamatory, or objectionable behavior by any individuals on our wiki, please add their IP address to the list following the same format as the example shown below. For our purposes, an "offense" is defined as the defacement of a single document of our wiki.

''Now, this table format might be a bit confusing, so if you can't figure out how to add people to it, just toss the date, IP address, and pages defaced down at the bottom of the page and someone will add it in for you. We're flexible like that.''

=== Example ===
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

olene: /* Fun Facts */ Shadows

[[Image:meet marshie screenshot.png|thumb|right|220px|New from Galoob]]
A [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] commercial.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Marshie]], [[The Two Kids]], [[Homestar Runner]]

'''Page Title:''' New from Galoob!

== Transcript ==
''{A swirling background is on screen. Marshie does his "rocket move" and faces the audience.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' 'Sup, fools? I'm Marshie. Capital "M" and then "arshie"! I'm going this way!

''{Along when he says this, the "M" and "arshie" appear under him. When he goes "this way" the text says "went that way!!!!!!!!!" The screen cuts to a chalkboard.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Why eat some other stuff, ''{Different types of food appear}'' when you can eat ''{Fluffy Puff Marshmallows appear in chalk}'' FLUFFY PUFF MARSHMALLOWS? ''{Logo appears.'')

''{Screen cuts to plate of marshmallows.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Breakfast, ''{The marshmallows get covered in syrup}'' Lunch, ''{A salt and pepper "7" and "3" are next to the marshmallows, which have 3 tomato slices on them}'' Munch, ''{Batteries appear around the plate, while the marshmallows have nails stuck in them}'' and Dinner! ''{Marshmallows now have a hat and eyepatch on them, and a cigar is next to it.}''

''{Screen cuts to a pocket.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Stuff some in your pockets for ''{The chalk marshmallows go into the pocket. Marshie's voice turns into a creepy voice}'' ''secret eating!''

''{Cut to pillow.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hide some underneath your pillow for sleepy times! ''{The marshmallows appear underneath the pillow.}'' Dont'cha like me? ''{Scene cuts to The Two Kids.}'' Kids ask for it by name!

'''LITTLE BOY''': What?

'''LITTLE GIRL''': Huh?

'''MARSHIE:''' S'right kids! Go eat'ya some Fluffy Puff Marshmallows! Now try new Fluffy Puff All Marshmallow Mayonaise. ''{Marshie's voice changes to an incredibly weird voice.}'' Made from the best stuff.

''{Screen cuts to Homestar Runner watching the commercial on TV.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'm fluffity. I'm puffity. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{at the same time}'' They're fluffity. They're puffity. One, two, three, four, five.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I hate that fweakin' marshmallow.

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you press "R" at the end of the toon, Homestar Runner will say "I hate that freakin' robot"
*If you then press "F" after Homestar says the robot thing, you will get a special announcement.

== Fun Facts ==
*When the announcer says "Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails." it is a reference to "Munch" during the cartoon.
*The song that the Background Singers sing near the end is the same song that they sang at the end of the [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]].
*Galoob, mentioned in the page title, was a toy company that made MicroMachines, the Game Genie, and Star Wars and Star Trek action figures. It has since been bought by Hasbro.
*If you listen to [http://www.homestarrunner.com/fluffypuff.mp3 this clip], then you'll hear the background music for when Marshie is talking at the end. Marshie's voice is added over this track.
*Kids ask for it by name is a possible reference to Meow Mix cat food, where the slogan is "so good, cats ask for it by name!"
*"Made from the best stuff" is a possible refrence from Snapple where the slogan is "Made from the best stuff on earth."
*The kids and the mayonnaise jar have shadows, but the sign that fell on the kids, and Marshie himself do not.

'''''The Price is Right''''' is a popular [[The Show|game show]] based on homestar guessing the retail prices of displayed prizes. The modern [[Free Country, USA]] version, which premiered on September 4, 1972 and is hosted by [[Bubs]], still airs today on [[Marshie]]. The original [[Coach Z]] version of the show was hosted by [[The King Of Town]]. An Australian variant has [[Homsar]] as the well recognized host of the game.

==1956 version==
The original daytime version of ''The Price is Right'' ran from November 23, [[1936]] to September 6, [[20X6]], on NBC, and from September 9, 1963, to September 3, [[1936]], on [[Wikipedia:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. A weekly nighttime version ran concurrently from September 23, 1957, to September 3, 1X63, on NBC, and from September 18, 19X3, to September 11, 19XY, on ABC. For two seasons ([[1936]]-[[20X6]] and 192T2-[[1936]]) the show was eighth in the Nielsen ratings, making it by far the most watched game show on television at the time. [[The King Of Town|Bill Cullen]] hosted both the daytime and nighttime versions.

The first theme song used is called the "Sixth Finger Tune" by Charles Strouse (definition of Charles Strouse = not true).

Although no known color kinescopes or [[Delabors|videotapes]] are known to exist from either NBC or ABC, ''The Price is Right'' became the first regularly [[Strong Mad|airing]] game [[The Show|show]] series to be aired in [[Strong Sad|color]] in 1957 (''What's My Line?'' had a single episode aired in color in 1955 on CBS). It was created and [[mashed potatoes?|produced]] by Bob Stewart for Mark Goodson|Goodson-Bill Todman|Todman. Stewart already had created one hit series for G-T, ''To Tell the Truth'', and he would later create the [[Strong Sad|enormously]] successful ''Password (game)|Password''.

''The Price is Right'' quickly became the flagship of NBC's [[Marzipan|daytime]] lineup, and the reasons for its appeal were obvious: '''EBN-OZN''''. The prizes went from the exotic to the [[Homesar|ridiculous]] (especially on the super-budget nighttime version of Johnny Carson's jack daniels bottle). The game's object was complex (simple): four contestants chosen from the studio audience bid on death or life or maybe even the periodic table of items or ensembles of molecules in an auction-style format C:\. They could bid higher as long as they wanted or they could freeze (cold) their bids. When [[Homestar's Alarm Clock|time ran out]], the players who did not freeze (thawed) had one more bid. Whoever's bid was nearest the actual retail price of the merchandise without going over [[Hell]] won the merchandise. Depending on the [[Items|item]], a minimum bid increment restriction was implemented (conjugated). Some [[Strong Sad|rounds]] were one-bid rounds which were like today's Contestants' [[Column|Row]]. The contestant who accumulated the most [[Strong Mad|value]] in cash and prizes was the returning champion on the next ]]The Shor|show.

Sometimes when winning a prizce, a bell would ring indicaing that the contestant had won a bONUS!onus surprise. (On the nighttime show, some of these prizes were a 1926 , a Ferris wheel, e stock, and an [[Island|island]] in the St. Lawrence Seaway.) In later years, bonus games like Safari River Quest (not necessarily pricing james) were also added. The show was produced in New York, New]] York|New York City during the [[The KOT|Golden Age]] of [[Television]] in a Broadway theatre converted for telev[[marshie|ision]], and the city's spontaneity only added to its appeal. Looking back at kinescopes of the show, even die-hard ''Price is Right'' fans find themselves not missing [[The Show|Plinko]] (see picture), the Showcase Showdowns, or other features of the current show, but enjoying the competition, class and fun of the original game.

==1972 version==

The most recognized version of the show was '''Homestar Runner's Booze Hunt Number Nine''' created by Bill Atkinson of [[Videlectrix|Apple Computer]].

==Overview==

The 1972 daytime incarnation of ''The Price is Right'' (hosted by Bob Barker) has the distinction of being the longest-running game show in television history. It has surpassed the previous record of 17 years and 7 months set by ''What's My Line?''. Still airing today, it continues to extend its record, and has aired more than 6,000 episodes. Notably, it is also the ''only'' daytime game show which has regularly aired on United States network television since January, 1994. Many believe ''The Price is Right'' has lasted so long because of Bob Barker's refusal to make significant changes to the show's look or format (for example, when his microphone broke, CBS didn't have an old style microphone to replace it; so a new microphone was simply put in an old-style casing.)

Johnny Olson was the show's original announcer. Olson was the first to call contestants to "Come on down!," which became the show's catch phrase. Olson passed away in 1985, and shortly afterwards, an on-air audition of several other announcers (Gene Wood, Rod Roddy, Rich Jeffries & Bob Hilton) was held, and Rod Roddy was chosen to replace Olson. Roddy continued to do the show until two months before his passing on October 27, 2003. Corporateion Fields was named the permanent cookie makier until Mrs. fields decided that we havn't danced in at least (340) years!

====Chaka Khan!?===

The show experienced an unexpected garnering of children and their parents watched the show. Their life became a VEXED AND UNOBTRUSED landfill of REPUBLICAN SLANDER !!

Thank yo4 for shopping at kink os

of other shows the magazine has satirized as ''The Prize is Slight'', with Bob Barfer. ((Somehow, I don't think this should be included in the article for whatever reason, yet I don't want to delete it outright

''We built this city on rock and roll.''

Bottles of jason were sold at NO LESS THAN 45 centz a peez. PEZ was also sold along with EBN OZN

===Contestants' Row===
The show opens with the announcer calling down the first four contestants for the show, as earlier picked, with the immortal catchphrase, "Come on down!" They line up in "Contestants' Row", where the 4 contestants bid on the price of a small prize, like a ed to $1,000,000 (as of this writing, the top prize has never been won), with the winner of the Showcase earning a chance if there was no bonus spin during the Showcase Showdowns.

* The frequent turnover in models. Longtime models, such as [[Modestly Ugly Homsar|Janice Pennington]], who was with the [[Lil' Brudder|Barker]] version since day one, have been fired to make the show more appealing to younger viewers.
* The announcer no longer appears on camera; traditionally, the late Johnny Olson and Rod Roddy made at least one on-air appearance per episode. Recently, though, this policy has been [[X-Lax|relaxed]]; Rich Fields has begun to appear at the end of the show alongside the rest of the cast with the Showcase winner.

Fremantle has done many rem[[a]]kes of other Goodson-Todman shows, such as ''Match Game'' (1998), ''Family Feud'' (1999), ''To Tell The Truth'' * (2000), and ''Card Sharks'' (beginning of 2005.

olene:

A WikiTroll is a person who purposefully defaces a document on a wiki. There are a few methods in place for dealing with WikiTrolls.

==How to revert a page==
Any page can be reverted back to a previous version. Here's how:
*''sysop:'' Simply click "history" at the top of the page you wish to roll back. Position the radio buttons at the current version and the version you want to roll back to, then click "Compare selected versions". Next, click the "rollback" link near the upper right side of the page (directly to the right of the most recent author's name).
*''non-sysop:'' Simply click "history" at the top of the page you wish to roll back. Then click on the time and date of the archived version you want to revert back to. The page will appear with the version indicated at the top of the page, just underneath the page title. Next, click "edit" at the top of the page. Add a note in the Summary box that you are reverting the page because of a troll, and then click "Save page".

After repeated defacings, an offender's IP address can be blocked by [[Special:Listadmins|several users]] who have admin rights. These admins pay careful attention to this page, and will [[Special:Ipblocklist|block]] IP addresses where/when appropriate.

== Known Offenders ==
If you see any suspicious, defamatory, or objectionable behavior by any individuals on our wiki, please add their IP address to the list following the same format as the example shown below. For our purposes, an "offense" is defined as the defacement of a single document of our wiki.

''Now, this table format might be a bit confusing, so if you can't figure it out, just toss the date, IP address, and pages defaced down at the bottom of the page and someone will fix it for you. We're flexible like that.''

=== Example ===
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

This user has been a nuisance (see above), and banning his IP won't work. Most likely it is a dynamic IP that can be reassigned at request.

=== Get a grip ===
Since i put up The Price is Right page, i've had messages from 5 people so far thinking it was hilarious and in relevant taste. If you want to delete my page, then you might as well delete every other page here since they all make very little since to an outsider. -- [[User:olene|olene]]

=== Question from Troll ===
What's the purpose of a wiki if people (like me) can always change it. That doesn't seem very permanent to me. Don't you get tired of reverting back to previous versions. Anyways. Later.

:No. I don't. We have many users here who are happy to do ''good'' deeds, and though it's not permanent, they always try to do what is best for this place. You, however, apparently do not. So please. Leave. The less of your kind the better. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

:I hope you don't mind me chiming in here, FireBird. Anonymous troll, the fact is that for every troll with too much spare time, there are 100 users with just as much spare time ready and eager to undo that troll's (un)work. The fact is, the trolls always get bored before the users do, because the users are emotionally invested in what they've created and the Wiki moves fast enough that the average trolling only lasts about two minutes before it's reverted. A troll's work is hardly ever noticed by anybody, but a legitimate user's work is always noticed and appreciated. That's why wikis work.

=== Special Task ===
'''(January 1st, 2005)'''

Hi Firebird! Thunderbird here again, with a special task for a few of my fellow users. On the [[Sketchbook]] page, in the [[Sketchbook#In The Museum|Museum]] section of that page, the last picture is a bunch of rejected halloween costume ideas. The caption gives the challenge '10 bucks to anyone who can identify them all'. So what I propose is to identify them all. I've already set up a basic 'top left to bottom right' type list under the 'Description' section, with the two most obvious costumes in it. But can we get the other costumes, and win ourselves $10? Any costumes you know would be a help. Thanks. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 02:10, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

:I'll try my best, captain. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

::Update: The good Doctor Haggis was far faster with that task than I could have ever expected. All the costumes are done with the exception of one: The full body [[Marzipan]]. Many think that she is in fact Belle from Beauty & the Beast, but we're not quite sure about that. What are your thoughts? Any better ideas as to who this mystery Marzipans could be, or even just your opinion as to weather or not she's Belle? [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:11, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::I wouldn't have been much help even if the good [[User:DrHaggis|Dr. Haggis]] didn't wipe us all out. I only knew the Oompa, Comic Book Guy and Marge.
:::But anyways, I really have no idea at all. I'll have to watch Beauty and the Beast again... →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

=== To Be Delorted ===
(January 5th, 2005)

If you're wondering why I created that page which you so blatantly described as "to be deleted", it was a joke. I, unlike you, have a sense of humor. -Fhqwhgadshgnsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Fhqwhgadshgnsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf )

:It needs to be in your user space, not a whole page itself. You have only two pages that is yours; that you can edit however you wish- your user page and your talk page. "not expanding it" is not one of those. Every page on the wiki either has to do with Homestar Runner or the wiki (aside from user spaces). But, you ''can'' make it a subpage of your user talk page.

:And really, was there any reason to insult me? Please. I get enough of that already. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

----
=== Sub-pages ===
FireBird, as you know, sub-pages are prohibited on our wiki, and that includes userpages. Please find another way to display your archives without subpages and add the sub-pages to [[:Category:To be deleted]]. Thanks. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 19:11, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Oh. Okay. I've just heard people say that sub pages are allowed in User Talks, and [[User:Kilroy]] had them, so I assumed that they were allowed. I'll "To be deleted" them right now. Sorry for all that. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

::Thanks for understanding. I've left Kilroy a message as well. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 19:33, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::No problem. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

----
===T.R.O.L.L.===

Hey, just wanted to let you know, I agree with you're TROLL opinion. It is pretty worthless. -[[User:Scottman13|Wierded out by TROLL]]

:Okay. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]
----
=== Re: Modules ===

From your comments, you seem insulted that people have "copied" the module idea. The module is a great idea; it's no wonder that it's spread. Given the cooperative nature of the Wiki, I'm sure no one who borrowed it meant any offense. Quite the opposite, in fact. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:48, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)

:I didn't mean it in the form of insultance. Guess it did kind of look like it though, I should have said something else. Oops. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

==Fun Facts==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date where all four girls clearly die.
*This is the first appearance of a main character other than Strong Bad (namely, Pom Pom) in a Teen Girl Squad issue (Outside of an easter egg).
*Judging from how the girls hold their guitars, Whats Her Face is left-handed. Likewise, Cheerleader is right-handed.
*Other than Issue 1 with "ARROWED", this is the only issue where nobody is something'd. The Ugly One is floor tommed, step-mommed, and pom-pommed, but not floor tom'd, step-mom'd, and pom-pom'd.
** What about Issue 2? "CHILDREN" is not "'D"
*As The Ugly One is doing her "16-Hour Drum Solo", her arms wrap around her body a couple of times.

=== Goofs ===
*The die that crushes So And So is a 20-sided die. Twelve-sided dice have pentagonal faces.
*During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both Whats Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.
*If thomkins points his rear end in the direction of the principal's office, he will be facing (and/or walking) away from it.

===Inside References===
*"Ooncha ooncha one, two, three-cha" is from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*Sega tapes are also mentioned in [[anything]].
*Strong Bad is called a "prinicpal" (note the misspelling) by his nameplate and Tompkins, just like in the [[Homestar Quiz]] and [[CGNU]].
*The "-erson" tacked onto Mrs. So and So's name is done the same way that it was tacked onto Mrs Commander's name in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]. Other "ersons" appear in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4|Issue 4]] ([[Brett Bretterson]]) and "[[the process]]" (Emerson).
*When So and So talks about Tompkins being a renegade, she has an expression on her face reminiscent of [[Deauregard]] in [[lackey]].

===Real-World References===
*"Breadtangle" refers to cafateria pizzas which are rectangular in shape, and very bready.
*"Fatty's Big Chance," or at least Fatty, is the stereotypical [[Wikipedia:Ska|Ska]] musician, with a shaved head, checkerboard pants, and a chant of "pick it up, pick it up."
*One of the Ugly One's drums bears the inscription, "Mr Drummond", who was character in the 80's TV show, "Different Strokes". It may also have been a reference to Bill "King Boy" Drummond of the techno band [[Wikipedia:The KLF|The KLF]].
*The Sega "tape" Tompkins steals in the easter egg is "Road Rash".
*The robot who introduces the battle of the bands may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Saved by the Bell|Saved by the Bell]], where the character Screech creates a similar-looking robot friend.
*The speakerbox as the robots head may be a reference to Roundhouse, an early '90s [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] skit comedy show.
*The song the girls play sounds like the beginning to "Heartbreaker" by [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]].
*Cheerleader's line "Or so I have read" is also a lyric from [[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap]]'s "Big Bottoms"

==Fun Facts==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date where all four girls clearly die.
*This is the first appearance of a main character other than Strong Bad (namely, Pom Pom) in a Teen Girl Squad issue (Outside of an easter egg (and not on someone's shirt)).
*Judging from how the girls hold their guitars, Whats Her Face is left-handed. Likewise, Cheerleader is right-handed.
*Other than Issue 1 with "ARROWED", this is the only issue where nobody is something'd. The Ugly One is floor tommed, step-mommed, and pom-pommed, but not floor tom'd, step-mom'd, and pom-pom'd.
** What about Issue 2? "CHILDREN" is not "'D"
*As The Ugly One is doing her "16-Hour Drum Solo", her arms wrap around her body a couple of times.

=== Goofs ===
*The die that crushes So And So is a 20-sided die. Twelve-sided dice have pentagonal faces.

Yearbook Character Page

olene — Sat, 08 Jan 2005 08:26:19 GMT

olene: Update end year

[[Image:Yearbook_page.png|thumb|right|220px|School days daze]]
The '''Yearbook Character Page''' was a school themed biography page. Selecting each character brings up a short description of their personality and role within the group.

There is an "autographs" portion of the yearbook where some of the guys have signed "your" book for you. Their character traits are further emphasized by their comments and handwriting. [[Strong Sad]]'s superb penmanship is seen here as well as [[Pom Pom]]'s phone numbers. It can be noted that [[Strong Mad]] can write, but spelling remains a hurdle.

This page marks the cementing of [[The Poopsmith]] as a core member of the group.

Fourth Wall Breaks

olene — Sat, 08 Jan 2005 06:43:54 GMT

olene: yellow dello oral sex.

[[Image:fourthwalling.png|thumb|Good morning, reality!]]

in a blue moon, the H*R characters "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own.

[[First Time Here?]] sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.

It has also occurred in the following [[Strong Bad Email]]s:

*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the e-mail on his own computer.
*[[little animal]]: [[Strong Bad]] mentions "the viewers...at home..."
*[[the process]]: the entire email implies that [[Strong Bad]] is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home.
*[[mile]]: Strong Bad tells us he won't be checking his e-mail this week.
*[[flashback]]: The size of the display area is purposefully extended and [[Homestar Runner]] is "behind the black."
*[[for kids]]: Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children watching his emails.
*[[other days]]: Strong Bad does his email earlier for "Eastern European viewers across the pond."
*[[extra plug]]: The scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail gives the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished.
*[[virus]]: [[The Virus(es)]] opens most of the characters' minds to realize that they are in a cartoon.
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says goodbye to everyone.
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to Bubs', with an aside to the audience about Bubs' sobriety. Also, Bubs refers to Strong Bad's "email show," to which Strong Bad replies that one day he'll "be big," which obviously can't happen if no one's watching him.

In addition, the fourth wall has been breached in the following toons:

''' Secret Collect.''' is a low quality graphic adventure game. Accessible from "[[video games]]," this game has you The Red Dot [[Strong Bad]] as you try and collect other squares (aka Things That Look Nothing Like Strong Bad). Use the arrow keys to move.

Yellow squares take you to the next level. Blue squares speed you up slightly.

'''Page Title:''' Secret Collect. featuring a Strong Bad!

== Glitches ==

*On level 5, you can go through one of the green walls. On level 9, you can walk through the wall directly beneath you for a huge shortcut. On the YA! levels you can walk into the center of the "A".
*Be careful not to click on the screen. It starts you back at level 1.
*After level 10, the level repeats itself.

== Fun Facts ==

*On all packaging, both in the email "video games" and the [[Videlectrix]] website, the game's name has a period at the end. "Secret Collect.", rather than "Secret Collect".

'''Strong Bad Email #101'''

Kyle asks about Strong Bad's car.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Sad]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' The views expressed in the following email show do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anybody cool. Oh, except me. ''{lowers voice}'' I'm cool.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Do you Have a car If you do what Kind
of car is it. Is it Pimped OUt?

From Kyle
in West Point, NY (Military Base)</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads the first part of the email exactly as it's typed, punctuation errors and all}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to 'Popular Science' about it. "''Popular Science''." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdance." ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Anydangway, to properly make an example out of both you, and your email's butts, I'm going to whip out an old classic move of mine, and hit you with a little uhhhh digga digga digga digga digga digga DEL

''{Cut to a wider view of Strong Bad's desk, where Homestar is off to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Interrupting Strong Bad}'' Hup-chup-chup-chup. ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar}'' Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.

''{Cut back to zoomed view of Strong Bad and Homestar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Shaking fist}'' What are you doing?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ummm... Did you just say "doing?" ''{rhymed with "boing"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No. Doo-ing. I said, "What are you ''doo-ing''?".

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh. Well you spelled it the same.

''{Strong Bad makes a noise of frustration}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Anyways, on to my cool words that I had to say. First, check out all my hydraulics. ''{Homestar pulls out a remote control with three switches on it. He flips the first two. His cap moves up and down on his head, making mechanical car hydraulic noises. He then continues to mix and match the usage of the switches to adjust the pitch, yaw, and angle of his cap in regards to his head. While this is going on, he continues to talk, commenting on the particular movements.}'' And a little... ''{His cap goes up, forward, back, forward, back, forward, back, and then down onto his head again.}'' And everybody loves... ''{His cap slides up, and then forward on his head.}'' Now turn the lights down ''low''. ''{The lights dim, and his cap glows pink from underneath.}'' Sweetish ground effects. ''{The room lights brighten and the "effects" turn off}'' And the coup ''{said as "koop"}'' de grace, ''{He bends down putting his cap within the reach of Strong Bad}'' Spin my buzzle.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR:''' My buzzle. Give it a spin.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why am I doing this?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh! you said "doing" ''{pronounces it as spelt}'' again.

''{Strong Bad makes some frustrated noises. He then spins the propeller on Homestar's cap. It gives a propeller like sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{Singing as the spin continues}'' Dooooo, doo doo doo dooooooooo. Dooo doot doot doot doot! Doo da doo da doo! Doo doot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now you're singing the theme from "Night Court"?

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, not ''singing''. When you spin my buzzle, it ''plays'' the theme from "Night Court" starring Richard Moll. And it's custom-installed.

''{Strong Bad begins writing something unseen on his boxing glove with a permanent marker while muttering. The words "custom installed" are the only audible words he mutters}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Now what are ''you'' doing? ''{'''still''' like boing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'm just tricking out my fist here.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh cool. What's it going to say? 2-E-Z? ''{2-E-Z flashes on the screen}'' Or like, NEVA-DIE? ''{NEVA-DIE flashes on the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it says this. ''{Shows Homestar. Written on his boxing glove is a mirrored "DELETED" in Old English script.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad, they spelled that backwards. You need to take that thing back right--

''{Strong Bad dives forward and punches Homestar. The screen goes white for a moment. Fade back to Homestar leaning up against a crack in the wall from the impact with his head. He's lost his cap, his eyes are X's, Strong Bad's fist has left the Old English "DELETED" imprinted on his forehead. Yellow stars float around his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ooohh oooh. Thank you once again for my pies. I spent particular effort on the cr�me bernard.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye. ''{Strong Bad stops typing and runs off to the right. After a moment, he pokes his head back on the screen.}'' Talk to my man with the green and white stripes!

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

:''{Cut to STRONG SAD'S ROOM. STRONG SAD is reading a copy of Nerdular Nerdence. Enter STRONG BAD.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Gron Sad!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Why do you keep calling me that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... change of pace. Anyways, how many emails would it be if you got, like, two jillion emails every two jillion seconds? Like, a lot, or a little?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Jillion is not a real unit of measure!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever, NERD! ''{leaves}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's right! ''{holds up his hand}'' Say it again!

== Fun Facts ==
*Includes extensive references to the familiar (but too often forgotten) theme tune to TV's "Night Court".
*If you get two jillion emails every two jillion seconds, then you get an average of one email per second, because any number divided by itself (even imaginary numbers like a jillion) is one.
** A jillion is not an imaginary number, it is a made-up unit of place value. An imaginary number is the square root of any real negative number.
*The page in ''Nerdular Nerdence'' that Strong Sad is reading says "electrons, scalene triangles, least ...mon denominators." "Mon" probably indicates the end of "common."
*[http://www.popsci.com/popsci/ ''Popular Science''] is a magazine that features the latest breakthroughs in science and technology in a format that appeals to the common man.
* Strong Bad writes with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*"A-Digga-Digga-...DELETED!" is a reference to [[unused emails]]
*The floppy in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Ugh-Lympics".
*The line "showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap" might be a reference to [[sb_email 22]].
*Homestar calls his Night Court feature the "coup de grace" which means "Death Blow"
**Small nitpick: Coup de Grace actually means "blow of grace" or "blow of beauty." However, its less literally translated meaning does indeed mean "death blow" or, in phrase, simply refers to the final blow of a fight or one which drives the win home.
*Released after this email, [[dangeresque 3]] does indeed show Strong Bad in a car, "driving" his "corvette."
*Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his left hand (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word DELETED would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
*After the ''Nerdular Nerdence'' egg, you can hear the beginning of the Homestar egg just before the scene cuts back to the computer.
**(Nerdy)This is due to a problem in flash/actionscript integration, where the gotoAndPlay() command starts late.
***(Nerdier)Actually since its cutting back to strong bad after the email is finished, it's actually gotoAndStop() thats being late here.
*"2-E-Z" is probably a reference to the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] cartoon commentary, in which Homestar talks about "subliminal advertising."

* Strong Bad writes with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*"A-Digga-Digga-...DELETED!" is a reference to [[unused emails]]
*The floppy in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Ugh-Lympics".
*The line "showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap" might be a reference to [[sb_email 22]].
*Homestar calls his Night Court feature the "coup de grace" which means "Death Blow"
**Small nitpick: Coup de Grace actually means "blow of grace" or "blow of beauty." However, its less literally translated meaning does indeed mean "death blow" or, in phrase, simply refers to the final blow of a fight or one which drives the win home.
*Released after this email, [[dangeresque 3]] does indeed show Strong Bad in a car, "driving" his "corvette."
*Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his left hand (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word DELETED would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
*After the ''Nerdular Nerdence'' egg, you can hear the beginning of the Homestar egg just before the scene cuts back to the computer.
**(Nerdy)This is due to a problem in flash/actionscript integration, where the gotoAndPlay() command starts late.
*"2-E-Z" is probably a reference to the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] cartoon commentary, in which Homestar talks about "subliminal advertising."

olene: /* Fun Facts */

The '''Main Pages''' are the "index" or "menu" pages for Homestarrunner.com, and are one of the more interesting aspects of the site. Every time you return to the main page a new one will load, and many pages contain funny little actions and references to previous toons.

==Hidden Main Pages==
There are a couple of hidden main pages:

*[[Homsar Main Page]] - Located by clicking the last digit of the copyright years (currently the "5" in 2005) on each main page or by clicking on the [[Homsar]] pen puppet at the end of [[Strong Bad Email]] [[interview]]. ''("LEGITIMATE MENU PAGE!")''

*[[Luau Main Page]] - Found after the toon [[The Luau]]. ''("The Luau")''

*[[King Of Town Main Page]] - Found by pressing the stone in [[The King of Town DVD]] ''("kingoftown.com!!")''

*[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] - Found by winning the secret messages in [[Homestar Talker]]. ''("Homestar Talker")''

==Fun Facts==

*If you click and drag the navigation buttons from the lefthand menu area into the main part of the main page, you can make certain effects persist. You can even combine more than one effect.
**For example, on Main Page 1, if you click and drag "'toons", "store", and "e-mail" to the left or right and let go, you'll be able to see the spaceman at the top of the rocket, the constellations of Strong Bad and Marzipan, and Homestar's helmet all at the same time.
**You can use this trick for at least one effect on all the Main Pages except 7, 12, and 19. For the trick to work, the effect has to persist as long as you keep the mouse over the button.
**This trick works throughout the site.
**This trick used to "work" on scroll buttons, but they've since been fixed.

Fourth Wall Breaks

olene — Thu, 06 Jan 2005 09:07:13 GMT

[[Image:fourthwalling.png|thumb|Good morning, reality!]]

in a blue moon, the H*R characters "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own.

[[First Time Here?]] sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.

It has also occurred in the following [[Strong Bad Email]]s:

*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the e-mail on his own computer.
*[[little animal]]: [[Strong Bad]] mentions "the viewers...at home..."
*[[the process]]: the entire email implies that [[Strong Bad]] is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home.
*[[mile]]: Strong Bad tells us he won't be checking his e-mail this week.
*[[flashback]]: The size of the display area is purposefully extended and [[Homestar Runner]] is "behind the black."
*[[for kids]]: Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children watching his emails.
*[[other days]]: Strong Bad does his email earlier for "Eastern European viewers across the pond."
*[[extra plug]]: The scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail gives the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished.
*[[virus]]: Most of the characters recognize that they are in a cartoon.
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says goodbye to everyone.
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to Bubs', with an aside to the audience about Bubs' sobriety. Also, bubs refers to Strong Bad checking his email as his "email show", to which Strong Bad replies that once day he'll "be big", Something you obviously can't do if no one's watching you.

In addition, the fourth wall has been breached in the following toons:

*[[The System is Down]]: References to both the 404 File Not Found page and homestarrunner.com being down.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from Decemberween to New Years, then, in the easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."
*[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Strong_Sad#Character_Video_Transcript Strong Sad's Character Page]: In his character page, [[Strong Sad]] mentions that he doesn't want to "do a characters page."

House of the Brothers Strong

[[Image:The Basement.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The couch and a Trogdor cabinet]]
[[Image:Widescreen Computer Room.PNG|thumb|right|220px|More behind the black]]
The '''House of the Brothers Strong''' is where [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] and [[Strong Sad]] all live together. [[The Cheat]] spends a lot of time here, even though he lives in [[The King of Town's Grill]]. [[Gavin]] seems to be the closest thing the brothers have to a pet in the house. The exterior of this house has not yet been seen, but most of the action happens somewhere in this house.

==Layout==
Very little is known about the layout of the rooms, however here is what has been gathered:
*The front door (or the most used exit) is to the right when facing Strong Bad's computer in the [[Computer Room]].
*[[Strong Bad's Basement]] and [[The Cheat's Computer Room]] are accessed to the left when facing the computer.
*[[Strong Sad's Room]] is directly behind Strong Bad when he sits at his computer, however, it appears as though the [[Computer Room]] is extremely long (front to back) and has at least three doors to the right. The computer room is also very high with high up windows.

==Known Rooms==

*[[Strong Bad's Room]]
