Poached Eggs and Facts

From: modeling
Posted on: 17:07, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

• Strong Sad's soolnds look similar to elephant feet.

Arguments against:

• The definition of "poacher" is common knowledge—and even if it wasn't, anyone could just look in a dictionary.
  • And this wiki, is deffinently not a dictionary.

Additional comments:

• Really,wouldn't this be better as a Fun Fact for 50 emails? With the whole "50 bucks? Okay. I'll leave the keys under the at-may" conversation with a mysterous figure on the phone?

Take Advice From Yer Brudder

From: modeling
Posted on: 08:30, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

• It's pretty easy to see the ref, it's not like male modeling is a common subject to talk about...
• As mentioned in the additional comments, Homestar admitted wanting to break into male modeling, and this e-mail shows that he went through with it. Hence the ref.
• it fits the entire "stupid coincidence" theme.
• it is a useful reference to another subject
• Well, it's in crying, so it's a valid reference, even if it's thin.
• It seems plainly obvious to be a back-reference to crying. It could even be the influence FOR the e-mail that Meghan sent.

Arguments against:

• But there IS no ref; there's nothing linking these two except sheer coincidence.
• The subject of male modeling was brought up by Meghan, not TBC or any of their characters.

Additional comments:

• I think he means that since Homestar was on the cover of that mag he must of gone through with his idea of breaking into male modeling
• Maybe it's just another stupid coincidence?
• I like how the guy says "theres nothing linking them except sheer coincedence" which is kind of the theme of the whole thing.
  • There's coincidence that isn't really coincidence - Homestar appearing on the cover of a magazine at the same time as Strong Bad, which isn't REALLY a coincidence because it was intentional on the part of TBC - and there's just sheer unrelated coincidence. This could easily be the latter.
• The "could be" in the above ArgFor is exactly why as many people declined this - it could be, but it we don't know. Speculation is usually frowned upon on this Wiki.

Unremarkable

From: modeling
Posted on: 18:43, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

• This remark doesn't draw attention to anything that a viewer (of the transcript or the cartoon) wouldn't notice straghtaway.

Additional comments:

• Maybe revise to comment on how each add is sort of a messed up version of what Strong Bad describes. Fancy shoes become lame, giant tube socks; fancy colognac becomes cream to fix "stinkfoot." Etc.
  • No, because that part is in the transcript. Take it as it is or leave it, but don't revise it like that.
