Talk:The Paper
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Should this be under some directory? like...thingies or something? Just a thought. -- AgentSeethroo 14:48, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)
- That's a good question. I know we'll have something like "Inside Jokes", where most the stuff form the "InsideJokes" page will go. Then there's going to be the stuff that was in the Rejects. They aren't going to be "Rejects", and they will all have their own page, but yeah, we'll have to have a catagory or something for them. The Paper... I don't know. I know there's a "Characters" catagory, and a "Main Characters" category for "The Twelve", but I can't think of anything right now. -- Tom 15:15, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)
- This could sound kinda silly, but we can put the paper in a section called "Integral Elements", along with SB's comp. and stuff like that, like things that aren't characters or settings, but are integral to each SBEmail or whatever. Whatcha think? -- AgentSeethroo 15:53, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)
- Hmm... Is this where Coach Z's "Z" would go? How about Strong Mad's singlet? Homestar's hat? The stool? The get up noise? Strong Bad's shoe? Marzipan's hair? Where do we draw the line? Arg. -- Tom 16:30, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)
- Well, you pose a good question. I think the "Integral Elements" is a good idea for the important stuff like compy and whatnot...for the unimportant, I think maybe we can have a "Misc." or "Odds'n'Ends" type thing...but you're right...a line has to be drawn. Arg indeed. -- AgentSeethroo 20:51, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)
E-mail Address
I'm not certain when it happened, but some time ago, the paper changed from simply
Click here to e-mail strong bad
to include his e-mail address. When was that? --oddtodd 15:22, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)
It changed in 21, cartoon. --Southpaw018 16:16, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)
DVD
Apparently there are some more The Paper oddities in the Strong Bad DVD. I don't own the DVD but could someone who does please update this page to reflect this? ~Hobo|talk
- I have the DVD. The paper says "The End" on there. ---DumDe
Gender
More of an interesting observation, but does that mean that The Printer is Female (invisibility) and The Paper is Male (animal)? Wow...
Nope, see the last bullet.
- The Paper and the printer are therefore separate identities, as The Paper is male and the printer is female. I'm guessing The Paper is the printer's son.
I removed the recently-added information above as it simply refers to information stated in previous 'oddity' bullets. The part about guessing that The Paper is the printer's son is merely speculation and if it were reworded somehow to be more professional I think it could return to the article. --The Paper 19:24, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
What's with all this stuff about assigning the inanimate objects gender? I mean, we call boats "she" but we don't say they're actually female. It could just be a figure of speech (although the ending to animal implies that The Paper is intelligent, which means it may actually have a gender.)
Well, we're not talking about a normal world here... with humans... so the inanimate objects could have genders. -- Asploder
