Main Pages

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The Main Pages are the "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. These pages contain links to the regularly updating material of the site including the Quote of the Week, Weekly Fanstuff and the weekly Sketchbook.

Many of these pages contain funny little actions and references to previous toons.

I gots a bleedy dick hole!

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") or ("Everyone loves tofu!")

• King Of Town Main Page — Found by pressing the stone in The King of Town DVD, which is behind the coat of arms, which you move by clicking the 'stache. ("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 left-hand 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 (see the image at the top of this article).
  • 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.
  • You can use this trick with all six effects on Main Page 11. If you do "downloads" first all six effects can be seen at once. This is the only Main Page (including the hidden ones) on which you can see all six effects at once.
  • This trick works throughout the site.
  • This trick used to work on scroll buttons, but they've since been fixed.
• The only Main Pages that have Homestar in his regular outfit, size, and style are "Falling through the sky," "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes," and "The Show." "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" is the only one to have just Homestar up front with nothing special.
• It took TBC until February 21, 2005, to change the copyright date from 2004 to 2005.
