Finding Nemo(declined)

Deep-sea fangly fish, looks like the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo.

• Decline. Anglerfish are by no means exclusive to Finding Nemo. --Upsilon

  • Second. --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy/_talk]] 22:02, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)
• Revise & Accept change "the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo" to "an Anglerfish" and this could be ok! --Tiggera, who hasn't seen the page yet.
• accept MetaStar Hmm, I first mentioned this on the Deep Sea Fangly Fish page.. one thing that differentiates both this and the finding nemo fish from a real anglerfish is the "christmas lights". *shrug*
  • Are you sure about that? I saw Finding Nemo and as far as I can remember, the anglerfish in that film was pretty standard. --Upsilon
• Delete This has been made irrelevant by the inclusion of a similar, but more relevant anglerfish comment on the page Vannav
• Decline Sure, like angler fish never ever existed in anything besides Finding Nemo... --Jay 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
• Decline Chased Marlin and Dory? I don't think that the fangly-fish has anything to do with Finding Nemo.
• Decline - The angler fish has appeared elsewhere and is not exclusive to Nemo. — InterruptorJones[[]] 21:45, 12 Dec 2004 (MST)
• Decline Absolutely nothing to do with him --- Bobcat
• Decline How many times must I say, IT'S A FRIGGIN' ANGLERFISH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! (Sorry for yelling) -Clever Ben

Second Wall Breaking(declined)

This is yet another e-mail when Strong Bad seems to know he's being watched by people in the line "goodbye everybody"

• Decline. I think that fourth wall breakage should be listed on its own seperate page at this point, as it's been done so much. --TheNintenGenius 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
  • Second. -- Kamek
• Decline.' I made a new Fourth Wall Breaks page for this sort of thing. --Vannav
• Decline A lot (if not all) of the emails give me the impression that Strong Bad knows he's being watched. Therefore, this fact isn't interesting to me. --oddtodd
• Decline It'd be more interesting to detail the instances they don't break the fourth wall. I mean, Strong Bad addresses the audience in the first few e-mails. --tender branson
• Decline. Haven't we had something about the fourth wall in here already? Strong Bad Email in itself breaks the fourth wall. --Upsilon
• Decline The Strong Bad e-mails make no sense if he doesn't realize he's being watched. --Jay 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
• Decline. Strong Bad usually says something like "Send me email!" --The Somewhat Awesome Jesty 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second. --The Real Zajac 23:18, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
  • Second. --Ninjin Ninja
  • Second. --Clever Ben

Soolnd

The Pardack has one of Strong Sad's legs as one of its arms

• Decline. Has been noted in transcript, is obvious to anyone watching the email. --Vannav
  • Second. --Upsilon
  • Second. --TheNintenGenius 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
  • Second. --Jay 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

  • Second. -- sterrence
  • Second. -- Wow, a lot of seconds.... --RPharazon
  • Second. I think this one's pretty much decided. --LynkStarr
  • Now, I'm sorry I did this to whoever made the funfact but... Second-- Bonkava!
  • Second. --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy/_talk]] 22:03, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second. --Ninjin Ninja
  • Second. --Clever Ben

LCD Screen(declined)

When you click on the screen of the Lappy, it goes all "wavy", like on a normal labtop.

• Decline Already been noted --Vannav
• Decline (but move) It's a feature of the Lappy, not directly due to this email. Move it to the Lappy page. --oddtodd
  • Second. --Upsilon
  • Second. --TheNintenGenius 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
  • Second. --Jay 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second. --The Real Zajac 12:45, 15 Dec 2004 (PST)
• Decline. This is already at the Lappy 486 page. --The Somewhat Awesome Jesty 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second. -- Mithent 07:16, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second. -- Kamek
  • Second. --Ninjin Ninja
  • Second. --Clever Ben

Ridiculous (declined)

The statement that Strong Bad says "{The Cheat} uses NO computers!" is incorrect, since the Cheat animated the Fangly fish animation with his [Tangerine Dreams] computer

• Decline With something like this, I'm sure no one will mind if I just delete it, right? I'm just going to do that from here on in. --Vannav
  • Absolutely. This kind of "Fun Fact" doesn't really belong in STUFF. --Upsilon
  • What is this doing on here? Did somebody, like, not read the transcript before shoving this up? --TheNintenGenius 20:16, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Decline for what I hope are extremely obvious reasons. Strong Bad doesn't even SAY "no computers". Forget STUFF, this should have been deleted right off the bat - in fact, it should never have been added. --Jay 00:17, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Whole-hearted second. --The Somewhat Awesome Jesty 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second^243. Anyone who actually listens to the email, and not just look at it because it 'Looks cool..duhh...pictures....'. I also DISTINCTLY heard NEW not NO. --RPharazon
  • Second. -- Kamek
    • Second. Person who heard 'no computers' is hard of hearing? -- Mithent 13:15, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
  • Second. --Ninjin Ninja
• Decline. This is a no no. --The Real Zajac 23:21, 4 Dec 2004 (PST)
• I'm not registered, just a comment... This is the stupidest thing ever. Delete it. It's "new" computers!
• Decline. Whoever posted this must be hard of hearing. It's N-E-W Computers! --Clever Ben

Out in the black

This discussion is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this section is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to decline. -- Tom 16:29, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Strong Bad being outside of "normal space" (where he exclaims "it is cold out here!") could be a reference to a bug/feature in Peasant's Quest where you can also end up "out in the black".

• Delete. Doubtful. -- Tom 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Delete. Seems rather unlikely. --TheNintenGenius 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Delete. Not likely, that was a glitch. unknownwarrior33 14:56, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Delete. See previous. --Jay 14:41, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Decline. --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy/_talk]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Delete --Paliosun 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Delete. →FireBird
• Delete — InterruptorJones[[]] 08:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Decline. I don't think it is a reference. - Rainer
  • Second. --The Paper 23:02, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
  • Second. Very unlikely. -- Mithent 12:21, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Linux

This discussion is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this section is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to modify and accept. -- Tom 16:33, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

"Linux" is a Free Unix-like kernel originally written for the 386 by Linus Torvalds in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ("GNU/Linux").

• Modify and keep. This seems a bit long winded. It needs to be trimmed down. -- Tom 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Modify, keep. I agree that it's interesting and that it probably could be trimmed down somewhat. --TheNintenGenius 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Accept --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy/_talk]] 16:35, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Modify, keep. Needs the trimming. --Paliosun 16:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Modify, keep.→FireBird
• Accept. - Rainer
• Modify, keep. What about just linking to the Wikipedia Wikipedia:Linux article while mentioning, quite simply, it's an operating system. --oddtodd 12:59, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)
  • Second. That's a good idea, Wikipedia links are helpful - if people want more info they can go there. -- Mithent 12:17, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Ain't that a drag?

This discussion is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this section is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to decline. -Svelt 16:45, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

Strong Bad sings the line, "Ain't that a drag?" just as the Cheat takes a long drag on his cigarette.

• Decline. We can't really tell when The Cheat takes a drag or not. →FireBird
• Check out his stomach rising and the exhale. But I suppose you could see it as The Cheat sighing. -Svelt
• Sill. I don't think it's really supposed to mean that. →FireBird
• Decline. This isn't even remotely interesting. — InterruptorJones[[]] 10:41, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Decline. Not interesting enough. - Rainer
• Decline. --Paliosun 19:14, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Decline. Absolutely not interesting. --gwr2004
  • Second. and too obvious. --The Paper 11:39, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
• Decline. Coincidence, and nothing more.
