Past our bedtimes

It has finally happened! I discovered and watched this Strong Bad email before the Wiki knew that it existed. Ah, sweet success.Triumvir 10:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

You mean not counting the fact that I started the toon page several minutes before you posted anything? ;) — It's dot com 10:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it let me create the page and found no conflicts when I did. I guess you just started editing it before me  :-) Triumvir 10:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I realize I'm tooting my own horn here, but I'm pretty sure my edit was before yours. :) — It's dot com 12:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Ugh! you can do that!? Oh and hi Triumvir! Welcome to the wiki! --Stux 14:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

...And how exactly is that an accomplishment?

Agentjs03 21:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Dunno where to put it, but

The .wad file extension is most famous for its use on data files for Doom. -- Vorn

simpsons?

Isn't "worst mayo party ever" a reference to the simpsons? You know, Comic Book Guy: Worst ____ Ever!" --TheGreatLogini 12:43, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

brokeback Laramie?

did anyone else think about brokeback mountain when the cowboy picture came up or is there another cowboy reference that I might be missing. I R F 12:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I did, but I still don't think it's a reference. More likely, Laramie is a popular setting for westerns... come to think of it, I think I'll add that. Terlet Brush 19:01, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I totally thought the same thing. Don't know if it's worth referencing, but then with all the press the movie's gotten...--Impulse2, who needs to register

Nintendogs?

Is the video game "where you pretend to be a dog" Nintendogs? Or possibly Animal Crossing? Neither of those really counts since you're not actually pretending to be a dog or frog. There was another one, a non-DS one, where you actually pretend to be a dog, but I forget its name off the top of my head. - [User:Octan|Octan] Jan 25 2005, 8:38AM EST

A Dog's Life, for the PS2. --ENUSY 13:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

a lot of work for one small comment

When SB talks about seeing the Poopsmith and himself together, I was thinking that TBC put there just to gives us work to do. It would take a bit of work, but does anyone find it worth it to list all of the times that SB and TPS have appeared in the same frame...or is that just too much work which will just amount to one small comment such as, "depsite trying to claim that he has never been seen with the poopsmith, they appeared together in ______, _____, and ______." I R F 13:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Three words: big white face. And don't forget couch patch. And rock opera. And Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. And Parsnips-a-Plenty. — Has Matt? (talk) 13:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I know, there are a bunch, but is it worth trying to find them all? I R F 13:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Doubt it. But who knows what bored people with no lives will do. :P - Joshua 13:52, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Especially bored wiki people. I R F 13:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

And labor day... — Has Matt? (talk) 14:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Like in The Geddup Noise, I made this to help make tedious searches like this one. The only thing it doesn't have is regular toons. --Stux 14:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

You know, I remeber seeing that but I couldn't find it. SB and TPS have also appeared in several Holloweent toons together. I R F 14:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

By the way, Parsnips-a-Plenty doesn't really count because it's an Old Timey Era with different characters. – The Chort 19:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Superman reference

Ms Fessmocker (sp?) is a reference to the female henchman(woman?) of Lex Luthor in the first Superman movie. Does this mean that the cheat is female? Maybe... probably not. It does kind of make sense that the cheat would pick a henchman of a villian as a fake name.

Would make even more sense if this was signed...--ISlayedTheKerrek 15:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

The Poopsmith and I?

Shouldn't that be "The Poopsmith and me?" -- Mycroft Holmes 14:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Nope. The correct pronoun to use is 'I'. --Musachan 15:11, 25 January 2006 (UTC)Musachan

Hmmmm ... but, wouldn't you say "Have you ever seen us together"? You + me = us. You + I = we. -- Mycroft Holmes 15:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

It should be "me", not "I". — It's dot com 16:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Because it is so drilled in everyone's head that you must always say "{someone} and I" (instead of "me and {someone}") in the subject of a sentence, people often don't realize that they should instead say "{someone} and me" instead in the predicate. The usage of I/me is exactly the same as if you were only speaking of yourself, and I/me should always be written last. --Jay (Gobble) 16:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Real Genius

Could "I heart Toxic Waste" be a reference to the T-shirt Chris Knight wears in the eighties movie Real Genius?

These edit conflicts are REALLY cheesing me off!

I just want to state, for the record, that I'm still very highly annoyed by receiving Edit Conflict after Edit Conflict when other people's edits have nothing to do with mine. (Someone makes a change in the transcript while I'm editing Inside References: Edit conflict.) This wasn't a problem before. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:15, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it used to be a problem, then it was "fixed" (but extremely glitchy; ie. One edit would auto-revert the previous edit in many cases), and then the "fix" was fixed. --Jay (Gobble) 19:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

You're not kidding. ._. I went through, like, nine edit conflicts to change "great" to "Greek" and remove that extra bit about Bubs. This has not been a good day so far, but that's too off topic. --DorianGray

Yeah, ironically the same complaint has been posted here. I posted a similar reply to Jay's except I didn't know if the fix had been fixed. --Stux 19:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

SB's facial hair

Where was it that we saw Strong Bad working on growing a moustache and all he could manage was one tiny hair? Wherever that was, it seems to contradict his ability to grow stubble as Vance Mudgeman. Terlet Brush 19:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Maybe he can only grow the hair when he's taking on his alternate persona ;) --Stux 19:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Or it could be fake. --Jay (Gobble) 19:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

By the way, the pathetic tiny hair was seen in theme park. And who said he really takes the identity of Vance Mudgeman? He could be messing about with us. Remember highschool? – The Chort 19:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it could be fake, but this email seems more, I dunno, real than just a made-up Strong Bad fantasy (which highschool certainly was). — It's dot com 19:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Chamberlain = Pom Pom?

Given Pom Pom's attraction to and luck with the ladies, and Wilt Chamberlain's legendary prowess, is it possible that Mr. Chamberlain would be Pom Pom's pseudo-name? -- Mycroft Holmes 19:43, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking Strong Mad, actually. But either way, what does "COMPED" mean? --Jay (Gobble) 19:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Bubs didn't charge Mr. Chamberlain, the room was COMP-limentary. -- Mycroft Holmes 19:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Not to mention that only Pom Pom would be likely to get the Posh suite. That leaves only Mr. Allen Poe, who I think is Strong Sad. He had a pic of him for his blog once, I think. He'd also be into that kind of story, and would definitely require a double bed. --DorianGray

Very good points. I was actually only thinking of Strong Mad because of his tendency to wear costumes related to sports stars (which, admittedly, Pom Pom did once too.) And I recalled the name being mentioned on the site once before, though it actually turned out to be in 50K Racewalker. --Jay (Gobble) 19:52, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

EDC: Didn't Pom pom dess up as Kobe Bryant once? Ooo! I guessed the link right! What team did chamberlain play for? --Stux 19:55, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

EDCx2: Oh and both played for the Lakers. --Stux 19:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not big on sports. You're lucky that I correctly realized that he was a basketball player. --Jay (Gobble) 19:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

House of Portraits

Isn't the trailer SB is in for the "Daddy" secret identity the same one as in portrait?-- Benol, aka Coach B 20:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is. This has been mentioned. --DorianGray

Daemon

The word "daemon" can be correctly pronounced "DEE-mon" or "DAY-mon". See here for more info. ClamIAm 20:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Easter Eggs

Is it just me, or was the easter egg at the end with strong sad added some time after the tune was origionally put up? I remember looking for one at the end and not finding one, and then checking the wiki and not seeing it listed. Snowboardpunk

Did you actually check, as in, with the "tab" key? If not, then you could have easily missed any egg. — Lapper (talk) 20:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

But to answer your question, yes, it was added later. --DorianGray

Yeah when I saw it earlier this morning I was surprised not to see an egg either. Now I have to go back and watch it again! :) --Stux 21:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
