<hr />
<div>[[Image:sbemail24.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Now spell, double deuce]]<br />
<br />
The '''Double Deuce''' is a style of flipping someone off with both hands. First demonstrated by [[Strong Bad]] in "[[the bird]]," it was later introduced as the name of [[Stinkoman]]'s primary attack technique. In order to perform a Double Deuce, Stinkoman strikes a dramatic pose and shouts "Double Deeeeeuuce!", which causes his gloves to glow and creates an energy disturbance around him.<br />
<br />
Strong Bad's Exciting Action Man action figure (as seen in [[action figure]]) comes equipped with "Severe Double Deuce Action." The feature is activated when the figure's head is pressed down.<br />
<br />
The Double Deuce and its variants can be used to rid oneself of [[The Office|the office]] dullard or those seeking a challenge or perhaps a fight.<br />
<br />
[[Image:The_bird.png|frame|The Single Deuce]]<br />
There is a one handed variant called the '''Single Deuce'''. A single "deuce" appears in the box art tagline for [[Stinkoman 20X6]] as "Ask for a Challenge! Deuce!"<br />

<div>==Technical help==<br />
===How to add images===<br />
Here's a quick rundown of how to add images:<br />
#If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image use policy]]. Note that the PNG format is preferred.<br />
#Over in the toolbox on the left, click [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].<br />
#(A) Browse to the file on your computer.<br>(B) Write a brief description in the summary area.<br>(C) Click the copyright checkbox.<br>(D) Click "Upload file".<br />
#Place code on your page in the following format, usually at the very top of the page (although you can place it in other places):<br><code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb and/or POSITION|SIZE|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
To make an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery|image gallery]], use the wollowing format:<br />
:<code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki><br />
:Image:image1.png|caption 1<br />
:Image:image2.png|caption 2<br />
:Image:image3.png|caption 3<br />
:<nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code><br />
Start each picture on a new line. You can use links and full wiki markup in the captions.<br />
<br />
Click on these links here for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|tutorial]] and more [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Images and other uploaded files|technical info]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax|syntax info]]. HRWiki policy allows [[HRWiki:User_page#What can_I_have_on_my_user_page?|one uploaded image]] per user with no questions asked. For an example, I placed the following code at the top of your page: <code><nowiki>[[Image:cheatgold.PNG|thumb|300px|I've got a gold tooth. Wanna see it? Tough!]]</nowiki></code><br>That's all. Have fun! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 15 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Thanx a bunch for telling me how to add images and adding an image and all that crap. Love your page. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]<br />
::Anytime, my friend. It's my pleasure. And thanks for your comments about my page. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)<br />

===How to revert a page===<br />
*YO! I do like what you did to my gallery, but I'd like to revert it for the time being. I do want to change it to your suggestion in the future, though. But, um, how do you revert? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:56, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
:It was more complicated than normal to revert your page since you had already made changes to it. Here are some basic instructions on how to revert:<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5"><br />
:'''To completely revert a page to a previous version:'''<br />
#View the history of the page in question.<br />
#Click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.<br />
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.<br />
#Type a comment in the summary, usually something like "reverted edit of so-and-so; changed to last version by what's her face".<br />
#Click "Save page".</div><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5"><br />
:'''To revert a page and keep some changes at the same time:'''<br />
#View the history of the page in question.<br />
#Determine what changes have been made since the version to which you want to revert.<br />
#Copy the affected section to the clipboard. If there is more than one section, it may be necessary to do a normal revert (see above) and then make the changes again one at a time in later edits.<br />
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.<br />
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.<br />
#From the clipboard, paste in the new changes over the appropriate old section.<br />
#Type a comment in the summary.<br />
#Click "Show preview" to ensure that you pasted the new changes in correctly.<br />
#Click "Save page".</div><br />
<br />

=== Where to link characters ===<br />
I had a question. On the page for [[monster truck]], should "The Sad kids" and "The King of town" in the transcript be changed to include links to thier respective pages? FYI, the sentence that would be changed is "{The Sad Kids and the King of Town appear on screen respectively crossed out}". &mdash;[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]]<br />
<br />
:No. Characters are never linked in the transcript. Instead, they are listed at the top of the page in the order in which they appear. Also, whenever you post something on a talk page, type four tildes after it, like this: "<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>". That will automatically sign your name and put a timestamp after it. It looks like this: &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks! [[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]] 01:08, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

=== How to make the vertical line to appear ===<br />
How do you make this vertical line appear? | It's used in a lot of links in the wiki, [[Strong Bad Email|like this]], but if I want to use the line, I always have to copy it from somewhere else. Can you press certain keys to make it appear? [[User:The Chort|The Chort]] 14:11, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It should be on your keyboard. Mine's above the enter key. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 14:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hmm...let's see: | Hey, it worked! Thank you! You're my new best friend at this wiki! [[User:The Chort|The Chort]] 14:33, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:No probalo... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 14:34, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I'm glad I could bring you two closer together. I have nothing useful to say here, but since this is my talk page, I feel compelled to comment. The character The Chort is speaking of is called the [[Wikipedia:vertical bar|vertical bar]], or pipe. It is used in wiki markup to create [[Wikipedia:Piped_link|piped links]], [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table tables], and other things. As Amanda (H*C) said, the key is usually located at the extreme right of the keyboard, just above the Enter (return) key, grouped with the [[Wikipedia:backslash|backslash]]. On some keyboard configurations, the key is on the top row, just to the left of the Backspace (in this case the Enter key is about double its customary size and the Backspace is about half its normal size). To type a vertical bar, you must hold the Shift key. Well, I hope you enjoyed my short essay. I now return you to the wiki. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:46, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

Here's the note you requested. [[HRWiki:IRC_channel]]?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Okay, I for the instructions, I have this:<br />
<br />
:''{Tom's code moved here: [[User:It's dot com/instructions code]]}''<br />
<br />
You need to fix up Section II, since I have no idea what's going on there. (And quite possibily sections I and III as well.) You also might want to check out some of the bulleted points in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion#Things_to_consider|things to consider]] section for when you write up the instructions.

=== STUFF help ===<br />
<br />
I would be glad to help you out Dot Com. I'm bored and I'm really digging what you are doing here. Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]<br />
<br />
:On an aside note, when the time comes will you need help turning all of the current STUFF'd facts to your format? If so lemmie know and I can help you out. When do you think the big change might occur? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]<br />
<br />
::I'm shooting for the middle of this week. Maybe there won't be a new toon this week. That would help. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Looks like you're about ready to make this happen. I would also be willing to help you and Tony with the big change, if you so desire. You know, taking what's currently in STUFF and putting it on the new page. There's a lot of them there. Just let me know. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 03:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I welcome any help I can get. I don't know the best way to go about it. I figure we'll have to temporarily close the STUFF page so that people aren't trying to edit it while we're converting it. Also, I want to open the format up for others to test. I'm trying to get that done tonight. I think the format is really easy to use, but I ''made'' it, so there could be problems I'm not seeing. I'll leave you a note on your talk page when I have more to report, which shouldn't be too long from now. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: In case you didn't notice, I've discovered what is causing the problem in STUFF. Not external links in and of themselves (notice that "The Legend of Credits" has an external link.) It's the fact that there was an equal sign in one of the links. Try plugging a random equal sign into any fact (link or no) and see what happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a response as to the new STUFF's simplicity, I would say it is pretty easy if you follow the directions. I do have a suggestion, though. For the how to revise page you have the entire template out for cutting and pasting, but the initial template setup has the optional things on parts of it. It might make it easier to take the optional notes and the false user votes off of that template so it's easy to cut and paste the entire thing. That's what I think anyway. Other than that, I think the new system is great. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 19:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I went ahead an implemented everything, including Protecting all the templates and DELETING!! all the test pages I could think of. If there are others I missed, feel free to TBD them. I ended up erasing a lot of old Verdicted facts on the old STUFF page - dig through the history if you really feel you need them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===New STUFF Verdicts===<br />
<br />
The new STUFF looks prooty good! One little quibble: it appears that the original posting dates were not included when the open STUFFs were ported. My real question is: how should a VERDICT'D STUFF look? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: The date thing was my fault. Anyway, I guess that a VERDICT should be another template or two, and should be put in place of the arguments and votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: I fixed the dates. For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div><br />

::: Ha ha, it feels like that sometimes. The way I look at it, since I stirred up the waters by coming up with the format, I have an obligation to keep it as well-oiled as possible, and so I do a lot of maintenance on items, even if I don't actually participate in every vote. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:52, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

=== STUFF query ===<br />
Hey It's dot com, I just noticed that one of bottom 10's [[Template:STUFF/bottom_10|STUFF entries]] is not ever going to succeed due to the author's mistake. (The Knott's Berry Farm one) It is not true, and will not get a single acceptance vote. I just thought it might be best to close that one now and save everybody time. On that note, I have also noticed that you are the only one who ever closes STUFFed facts, and was wondering if you wanted a hand with that. I am willing to help you out if you want me to. <br>Forever Young, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:To tell the truth, I don't mind doing it at all; it's fun. But others are of course welcome to do it (this is a wiki, after all); and certainly you should at least know ''how''. (It's not difficult, but it ''is'' involved. The instructions are [[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|here]].) I dunno, like I've said to BazookaJoe, since I made up the format, I feel responsible for making sure all the gears mesh and turn like they're supposed to. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:49, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:P.S. I took care of that item like you suggested.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous STUFFing ===<br />
<br />
Okay, it's one thing to say that Anonnies can't VOTE in STUFF facts. It's another entirely to say that they can't CREATE facts; I'd taken it for granted that they could. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:The rules state: "You may only edit arguments while logged in." I would think that extends to creating items. If a user cares enough about an item, he can log in to create it. If an item truly is important, a logged-in user has probably already made it anyway. As for this particular item, it was such a stretch that it would have been deleted outright from the page. If you truly feel, however, that it needs to go through the process, resubmit it anew (but I've got a thousand dollars I would bet as to how the verdict will end up). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:26, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:: Well, I don't disagree that it was a waste of space. I was more thinking about future reference&mdash;if someone actually adds a fact worth STUFFing. I suppose the only safeguards we had specified for unlogged users were votes and editing pre-existing arguments (it doesn't specifically say that unlogged users can't add facts or arguments) so I wanted clarification. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:44, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::I'll admit, I threw it out on a technicality. A technicality I would probably overlook if it had ''any'' merit at all. The last couple of days it seems like people are abusing the STUFF page, STUFFing the most trivial bits of nothing. I was trying to make an example of something that clearly deserved to get the ax, to try and nip this in the bud. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:52, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::: Fair enough. For example, I completely deleted a false "Fact" yesterday (regarding The Cheat's bendable arms never appearing before outside of Cheat Commandos, in spite of the fact that they'd been seen in [[caper]] and [[virus]]), so imagine my surprise today to find that it had been re-added (albeit prematurely Verdicted). Was it the same guy? How could multiple people make that mistake? And, as a result of your previous comments, I modified the "Add a toon/Add an item/Revise an item" instructions; now, all three say that you must be logged in. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:56, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::: "Early," not "premature." When several users find multiple instances that directly contradict an item, it is patently false and therefore not worth our time. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:59, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::: Er, maybe my wording was a bit confusing, but I already knew that. I tend to refer to facts as "prematurely closed" when they're closed early no matter what the reason&mdash;even if I was the one who did it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:03, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

My apologies for bugging you again. I think i'm trying to upgrade my status from being Mr. Fix minor things to being Mr. Pain-in-the-behind Wannabe. What am I talking about? Basically, fact checking. To what extent should we do fact checking. I was checking [[Matt Chapman]]'s page [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&action=history history] and noticed that the last [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&diff=0&oldid=154227 change] added the misc fact: ''"*Can be seen as an audience member in one episode of '''[[IMDb:tt0163507|Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'''"'' This is very general and my fingers are itching to revert it and leave a 'please provide evidence' note. But I haven't. Perhaps out of pity. Suggestions? (Do you have a fact-checking or fact adding set of guidelines even for admins?) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:31, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Well, I hate to interrupt somebody else's conversation, but I checked this myself. If you look at Matt's IMBD page, it lists him as an uncredited audience member near the bottom. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />

Hello. Thanks for letting me know about the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Strong_Bad_Email#Redirects discussion] regarding deleted redirects of the first two Strong Bad Emails. I was previously unaware of the accusations by Jay against me. By the way, may I call you IDC? It's an acronym of your username if you wouldn't mind me referring you by it. Thanks again. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 18:45, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I don't think he was accusing you, just perhaps mistaken. I alerted you to the discussion because I figured it pertained to you and therefore you could tell us why you thought it was better not to have the redirects. But if it wasn't you, then, obviously, you can't. Ah, well. I think the redirects are going to go forward (if E.L. Cool or others are still up to it).

Hey Dot com! Are you a baseball fan?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]<br />

:I should probably add this to my user page sooner or later, but I'm a ''huge'' fan of baseball, and Major League Baseball in particular, and more specifically the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. I've got my trusty Rangers ballcap on right now, as always. I've been to several games this year and plan on more. I don't live in the Dallas&ndash;Fort Worth area, otherwise I would have season tickets at Ameriquest Field. I make up for it by keeping track of the team on TV, radio, and at mlb.com using Gameday, Gameday Audio, and MLB.TV. I mainly follow the AL (my second-favorite club is the Yankees), but I do like some NL teams: the Nationals, the Astros, the Mets, and (sorry) the Cubs, to name a few. Tonight, as it turns out, the Rangers topped the Orioles, 4&ndash;2, in Baltimore. Yay! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Cool! You're only the second user I've heard of that is a baseball fan (other than me, there are two I've heard of). If you're not a ''huge'' cub fan then you won't bother me--and if you're not drunk, I'll be fine.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]<br />
<br />
:Not a huge Cub fan, but I do pull for them as the perennial underdogs, especially now that the Red Sox have won it all. Even being a Yankee fan, when Boston was able to overcome a 3&ndash;0 deficit, when in Game 4 all Rivera had to do was put out the side in the ninth... well, at that point I was pleased to see the BoSox finally rid themselves of that blasted curse! (I can't remember, who was it they beat in the World Series? ;) ) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:24, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Yeah. I know, the Cardinals lost. I went to game four of the World Series, I was sad *sniffle*. I remember there were lots of Red Sox fans around us. One guy was talking to his wife on the phone the whole time. When the Sox won, my dad asked this red sox fan next to us, "What will you do now? This is your whole Idenity." And the red sox fan said back, " What year is it 86 years from now?"<br />
But the cubs haven't won the series since 1908!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]<br />

I was working on Puppets on the Road, but I was wiped out last night and didn't finish it.

There were many differences between the two videos (see [[Talk:Sample of Style Too]]). I would love it if you could get Puppets on the Road up.

:::Nah, I just kinda got slammed with going out of town and then I actually had to go in to my job and do real work. Sometimes, I can goof off here, but not today. And tonight, I was in a softball game. And we won the game. And so we went and got real fruit smoothies. (Really.) I figured at some point someone would just go ahead and take POTR from me if I didn't get a chance to finish it. I'm not even at my home computer (where my DVD is and where I've done all the DVD stuff), or I'd do it now. So to sum up, if somebody else does it instead because I dragged my feet, that's cool; but otherwise, I can do it by later tomorrow.

You sir, are quite a genius. I was trying to figure out a good way of keeping the two [[Inside Jokes]] lists the same. Your solution for its sister page, [[Running Gags]], is perfect.

:Thanks, TBird! Organizing Strong Bad Emails in different ways I can understand. But it just didn't make sense to have two lists with identical information organized the same way. We misinterpret "[[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once and Only Once]]" around here, but this was a clear case where it fit perfectly. Thanks for the compliment! And I will keep it up! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:07, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
::I know, it was kinda a tricky thing. I suggested just making [[:Category:Running Gags]] the whole page, but Tom said they weren't meant for that.

<br />
==The Process==<br />
Hey, '''Dot com''', it's [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]]. As you seem both knowledgeable and up front about how things get done, I thought I'd come to you. Recently, I've been doing the whole recent change patrolling bit, and have come up with the following questions:<br />
*Do all edits done by anonymous users need to be reverted? I've encountered a few that are correct or beneficial.<br />
*Conversely, if a registered user makes a questionable edit (say, for example, adding a goof or remark that is open to debate), what would I do? I've reverted a couple, and I need to make sure this is within the rules. <br />
<br />
Thanks for any input you might have.<br />
<br />
:Well, Smoking Monkey, anonymous users are more than welcome to contribute. I daresay ''everyone'' (with the exception of the handful of people who actually set up the wiki) started out as an anonymous user. They often have insight or experience that are invaluable to getting to the bottom of an article. The reason we keep such a close eye on people who aren't members is that it just happens that most of the edits that are redundant, obvious, or otherwise non-beneficial come from anonymous users. The vast majority of trolls are anonymous as well. So, to make a long story short, '''do not ''automatically'' revert anonymous edits.''' (Note: if we wanted, we could prevent anonymous editing with a simple setting; obviously, we have not chosen to do this.)<br />
<br />
:If a logged in user makes a bad edit, it can be reverted just like an anonymous edit. '''Logged-in users get a little special treatment, however.''' First of all, it's polite to list a reason in the edit summary instead of simply rolling back the page. Second, if an edit is borderline, strongly consider starting a discussion on the relevant talk page instead of simply removing another user's work.<br />
<br />
:I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:02, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Understood. I don't want to be overzealous in reverting things - the last thing I want to do is step on toes and hurt feelings. But my "common sense" might not be so "common" to everyone. Trying to be careful as I go. -TSM<br />
<br />
:::I just happened upon this discussion and figured I drop a word or two. My general rule of thumb is this: revert bad edits, keep good ones. Rewrite bad wording (there's *A LOT* of it). Have fun, be polite, but be bold! It's pretty simple, really! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:06, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Thanks for the input! -- {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 17:13, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::That's an excellent way to put it, Tom (I've always assumed your name is Tom... your user page has never said anything other than "Hello world!"). I'll probably steal your rule of thumb and not give you credit, just so you know. ;) To it I would add one thing: if you ever have legitimate doubt about whether an anonymous edit is good or bad, '''take the action that leads to ''more'' content.''' That is, if someone adds something but you're not sure, then just leave it. But if an anonny deletes something (especially something big) that you think has merit, put it back.<br />
:::There's ''always'' more than one logged-in user looking at these pages, so it all usually gets straightened out in the end. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:19, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

==[[:Template:sightingslist|New Template]]==<br />
<br />
Thanks Dot Com, that color looks good. I'm just wondering about the centering. On the Email template (the one I modeled this one after), it's much larger, and fills the whole screen from side to side. This one doesn't, so on larger displays, such as mine, it's shifted to the left. Any idea how to center it? (And for the sizing, it's small on the Strong Bad Emails to save space. I don't think it'd be too bad to have medium font on this template, for easier reading and clicking). {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:53, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br><br />
'''EDIT:''' I think the centering thing could be something to do with 'width="100%"' {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:55, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Er, I guess you haven't looked at the template again yet, because I already fixed the centering. All the other nav templates (SB email, answering machines, CD, DVD, etc.) use <nowiki><small></nowiki>, so I figured this one should, too. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:04, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Hmmm... For some reason it still seems askew on my browser. Oh well, I don't care much. Like so many things on a wiki, I'm sure it'll somehow get fixed later, by someone else. And sorry about the sizing thing, I guess I'm wrong on that. In any case, I'm going to bed. Here's hoping the trolls do too. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:08, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Free Country USA==<br />
<br />
'''It's dot com''', it's your friendly neighborhood '''Smoking Monkey''' again. I just wanted to comment on the [[Free Country, USA]] thing earlier today, because I've made you my unofficial HRWiki mentor and seek your advice from time to time on Wiki matters.<br />
<br />
In any case, what caught my attention was an anonymous user dumped, say, 50% more info on the Free Country article. I've noticed over the weeks that 90% of anonymous edits tend to be speculation, stating the obvious, or just plain wrong. Let's say the other 9% are helpful typo, spelling and grammar corrections. It's that 1% that leads to doubt. This guy/gal radically expanded a decent article, but I couldn't tel whether the expansion was worthy or not. I know I was previously advised to err on the side of expanded content, but I've seen even registered users get slammed for adding little bits of info to articles. This guy/gal added a lot, and when I first saw it, I balked. It seemed like speculation, so I reverted.<br />
<br />
Then '''Mr. Bojangles''' re-reverted. I looked at it a second time - this time I saw disconnected thoughts that added only confusion - so I reverted ''again''.<br />
<br />
Then '''you''' reverted my change, and I looked at it a third time. This time, I saw neither speculation nor confused thinking - only prose that needed refining.<br />
<br />
I admit I've been in a bad mood recently, and have been, er, draconian in my enforcement of what I perceive is appropriate for the Wiki. I admit I was wrong reverting this article across the board.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I made it up by actually adding to and trying to improve on the additions of the anonymous (and British) user - I got a little too caught up in making sure others play by the rules...<br />
<br />
Faithfully patrolling the Wiki, {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 00:26, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Your characterization of anonymous edits is probably dead-on accurate (except when pages are first being created, which isn't that often, relatively speaking). If someone has something important to add, they usually take the step of registering first. Most of my edits were relatively minor until I registered. In fact, it was when I was trying to add something more substantial that I was encouraged to join.<br />
<br />
:I appreciate that you consider me something of a mentor, and I take seriously my responsibility to you and others I help. I carefully consider any advice I give, and it is always my hope that each user's experience here is improved by my input. This can't always be the case when someone disagrees with me, but in cases like that I try to be as diplomatic as possible. As far as anonymous users go, I try to incorporate any part of their contributions that I can&mdash;anything&mdash;so that they will feel important and be comfortable enough to finally become full contributing members.<br />
<br />
:In ''this'' specific case, you may notice that I didn't do a straight revert, but rather cleaned it up a bit before adding it back.<br />
<br />
:If there's anything else I can help you with, you know I will. Besides, we 28-year-olds have to stick together. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:42, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

And, speaking of my own thoughts, all I have to thank for my (irrational?) devotion to this article is some anonymous British kid I tried to censor.<br />

Hey It's dot com! I was wondering what you did with the 2005 updates page? Was it a ploy to annoy the troll? {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 02:08, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hey Rogue. That troll is not a person; rather, it is some kind of bot that searches for the different sections on the page and adds links under each one. My reasoning was that if I removed all the sections, it would have nothing to do, and would quit. In the meantime, I put up a notice so that any regular user who was looking at the page would be aware of what was going on. I don't know whether my actions actually did anything, or whether it was just coincidence that the attack stopped (almost) at that point. Only further research will tell. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:14, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
::Another positive consequence: it may help the bot move on to less-visible pages. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:32, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Pronounced with an "RWiki" ==<br />
<br />
This is a bit trivial, but an interesting fact. As you know, I'm all hung up on England, and even spent three weeks there. In response to your question 'wouldn't it be pronounced aitch-are-wiki?', the answer is 'no'. Not in England. Just the same way they pronounce the letter Z as 'zed', they also put an H sound in front of H, making it 'haitch' or something thereof. I'm not sure if this is of significance, but it's an interesting fun-fact nonetheless. I think so, anyway. But since the Wiki (and H*R itself) are American-based, your 'an HRWiki namespace' would technically be correct. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />

<br />
How do you make that "blockquote" (i'm not sure what it is called but thats what it said in editing) where it shows what Strong Bad wrote on his computer on the transcripts?

<br />
:Sorry for the delay in responding. I might suggest that you would get a faster reply by posting questions to the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]]. Anyway, it's possible to recreate the blockquote style outside the wiki, but you need to know some CSS and where to find it. First of all, the HTML (<nowiki><blockquote> ...blah blah <br/> ... </blockquote></nowiki>) is the same as the code you get when you press "edit", so you could just copy one of those to practice. What you need then is the various definitions for "email" found in [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] (and possibly other CSS files... check the source code of a wiki page to see what they are). Also, you would need the image of Strong Bad's face copied and saved to your server. It sounds kinda coplicated, but I hope this helps. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:55, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

I was actually seeking advice from Joey and/or Tom, but neither of them seems to be online right at the moment. Obviously, if Willy or whoever this gets so much as a toe out of line again, he'll get the indefinite block. What do you think? I haven't been able to get in touch with any of the other sysops, either, so he could yet be blocked by one of them and this discussion would be moot. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:12, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

:::Hmmm...since it was my first WOW-battling incident, I was bit hot afterwards, ''especially'' when he came out and said "sorry" and then "if you try to block me, I'll just do it again." It all seemed typically sophmoric to me - clearly he was having fun moving the same four pages over and over and over again, but then he lost interest and indicated he wanted to contribute. Essentially, he was malicious, but only so long as it saved him from being bored.<br />
<br />
:::Your point is well-taken, though: if we can't actually block him because of the AOL loop-hole, then I guess it shouldn't be a problem if he continues behaving like a normal user. I'm not big on holding grudges, and if '''Venusy''' and '''bkmlb''' (the other two users caught up in the battle against him) don't have a problem with him staying on, then I don't have a problem.<br />

I was wondering, how do you become a sysops?<br />

:I have actually written on this subject on several other pages. Below is a copy of [[User_talk:Homestar_Coder/MayAug2005#I_have_a_big_query.|this discussion]]. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:19, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

<blockquote><small>Hey AtHC, How do people become Administrators? I've been thinking about that... -Kinsey<br />
<br />
:I don't want to presume to speak for Aurora, but I've written at length about this very subject on [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Balmung_of_Azure_Sky&oldid=96317#Welcome this page], if that helps. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:42, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::''Here is the relevant text from that page:''<blockquote>Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]], add good [[stuff|fun facts]], [[Special:Recentchanges|monitor]] pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but ... it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple!</blockquote><br />
<br />
::I'm glad you posted that, It's dot com, because it's a good explanation! Definately monitor for edits, learn to recognize good and poor edits, and always be diplomatic in discussions. Undertaking worthwhile projects (with wiki-approval first) is a great way to contribute and be noticed. To all of this, I would add that you should think about why you want to become an administrator. If you want to be an administrator to have more power, that's the wrong reason. It's about responsibility, not power, and it sometimes involves doing unpleasant things. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:46, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

:Sure. One of the words in this sentence [[Blue Laser minion|<span style="color:black;text-decoration:none;">is</span>]] a link to a page.

<br />
'''If you find a troll, especially one in progress:'''<br />
*Revert each affected page to the last good version (the instructions for reverting are at the top of [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]]).<br />
*''Use the edit comment "reverting trolling".'' This will help the sysops notice something is wrong.<br />
*Make an entry on [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]] for the troll. If no sysops are around at the time of the vandalism, they can check the list and make appropriate blocks later.<br />
'''Some things to remember, especially in the face of a serious attack:'''<br />
*Remain calm.<br />
*Remain professional.<br />
'''Some things ''not'' to do:'''<br />
*Do not feed the trolls.<br />
*That is, do not put anything in edit summaries that would encourage them to continue their attacks.<br />
*Likewise, do not try to reason with them or taunt them on their talk pages.<br />
Hope that helps! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]<br />

==Edit comments==<br />
How does one make editing comments? -[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 21:43, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Click "edit" at the right over there &rarr; . Then look just below the editing window. See where it says "Summary"? Type something in that box. That's how you leave an edit comment. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:47, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Alphabetizing Categories and Catchin' Trolls==<br />
This seems like a good place to put stuff... I don't wanna clutter your talk by making new categories, that's why I keep piggybacking my messages. Ever thought of Archiving!? (gasp!) Hehe. Anyway on to ''buisness'':<br />
*Ooooohhh! Right! So that's what it does. I thought it changed how the entry looked in the category list, and seeing no change, thought it did nothing. I had to remove it cuz it was autolinking to PseudoCharacters edit page, and I am sure I had created the link after I made the page. And I think I tried to purge... the hard way... Maybe? Anyway thanks for the fix! <br />
*BTW check out my first troll person report!<br />
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:10, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a comment really is a continuation of an earlier thread, then go ahead and piggyback, but if it's a new thought, then it's perfectly fine to (and I prefer that you would) start a new thread. :) I reorganize my talk page from time to time and it helps me keep everything straight. As for archiving, I'm probably gonna put it off for at least a little bit longer. Only recently has this page exploded to the point that archiving would be necessary. If you want to see a page really in need of being split, look at [[User talk:Tom|Tom's talk page]].<br />
:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As for the user who deleted things, well, he's not a troll. You may disagree with the things he deleted, but each example was something that is borderline. I even agree with a couple of them. Also, there's no reason to think that he saw the message left him in the edit summaries. Most anonymous users probably never look there. If you need to leave him a note, you should do so on his talk page.<br />
:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry for removing him from the troll list, because I can tell you're proud of it and that your heart is in the right place. Don't worry... there'll be plenty others. ;) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah.... I was proud of it. You're quite observant! :). Bye troll edit :'( ... ;) To me they looked like random edits removing credible information.

==IP block issues==<br />
Yo, Mr. Dot Com, might I ask why you keep blocking my IP address every time, and also mark me as a "repeat offender?" I asked nicely for you and the other sysops to fix the rpoblem of this, because it's getting extremely frustrating for me when I want to edit something and I can't because somebody with a similar IP addy is trolling the site. This is now the fifth time that something like this has happened, and the second consecutive time that it's been you who has blocked me. I know you're just trying to do your job, but it isn't fair to people who follow all the wiki rules to be blocked just because of idiotic trolls who like to delete pages and add cuss words to them. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I apologize for any inconvenience, ISlayedTheKerrek. I will be happy to investigate your situation further, but I need some more information. What was the IP address that was blocked? When did you notice the problem? How do you connect to the Internet? I have reviewed the block log, and any blocks I have imposed for any real length are for what I consider serious infractions. There have been only three occasions when I have used the comment "repeat offender," only one of which was recent. In addition, the IPs fitting this description have had zero legitimate edits. Unfortunately, since this seems to be a recurring problem, it may not have a simple solution. There are some real jerks out there whose mission in life seems to be to spoil the fun for everybody else. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to sort this out. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:23, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Help creating welcome template? ==<br />
I'm kinda embarrassing, since this is the sort of thing that seems like it ought to be easy to find an answer to&mdash;but it hasn't been. I want to start welcoming folks formally, and thought it would be nice to make an adapted welcome message of my own. I know doing this would involve creating a subpage in my userspace&mdash;but I have no idea how to go about that. Thanks! &mdash;[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:32, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Oooo! May I? (answer this one?) Making templates and new pages is really easy. So I hope I can explain well. First things first, new pages. All you need to do to create a page is to go to it and start editing it. Make sure you save the page, so it actually writes something down to create the page! Suppose you wanted to create a page called "strombalos" under your user space, then you'd go to [[User:notstrongorbad/strombalos]] (notice how it's in red now -- if you click on it now it'll take you straight to the edit page), and start adding information. It's that simple! You can even (from your user page) type the new URL yourself and start it that way. As for templates: all you need to do for the basic form is to put regular wiki code. There is more on templates that you can learn [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template here], cuz they have neat stuff like variables and the like. There is more general help [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section here]. Now for your specific case, you want to make a welcome page for our guests. I won't go into detail here, but you must use the template format in a special way. Suppose you had a template [[User:notstrongorbad/welcome_template]] in that page. Then you inject the code: <code><nowiki>{{subst:User:notstrongorbad/welcome_template}}</nowiki></code> into the victims', er, guests page and hit submit. It will inject the code and replace the contents of the template in his page. To practice, you can always use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. Good luck! I hope this helps. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:57, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

(in regards to Freshley's) I know it's an apostrophe; I have no idea what I was thinking when I made the edit.

:I'm not sure what you mean by really funky. I just looked at it again, and it looks normal to me. Either way, it's correct with the apostrophe, so it probably needs to be with it, funky or not. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
::At least for me, the external link box doesn't show up, unlike next to Mrs. Freshley's and the like, so there's several spaces between the word Shaw's and the text that follows it (such as Shaw's____and then text). But yeah, it does need it. That's why I had added it in the first place, but then I figured that it wasn't in the word because the link looked weird, so I took it back out. So it turns out that an edit of mine that I reverted was reverted back. Or something. My head hurts. &mdash; [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 05:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)<br />

===How to add images===<br />
Here's a quick rundown of how to add images:<br />
#If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image use policy]]. Note that the PNG format is preferred.<br />
#Over in the toolbox on the left, click [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].<br />
#(A) Browse to the file on your computer.<br>(B) Write a brief description in the summary area.<br>(C) Click the copyright checkbox.<br>(D) Click "Upload file".<br />
#Place code on your page in the following format, usually at the very top of the page (although you can place it in other places):<br><code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb and/or POSITION|SIZE|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
To make an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery|image gallery]], use the wollowing format:<br />
:<code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki><br />
:Image:image1.png|caption 1<br />
:Image:image2.png|caption 2<br />
:Image:image3.png|caption 3<br />
:<nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code><br />
Start each picture on a new line. You can use links and full wiki markup in the captions.<br />
<br />
Click on these links here for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|tutorial]] and more [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Images and other uploaded files|technical info]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax|syntax info]]. HRWiki policy allows [[HRWiki:User_page#What can_I_have_on_my_user_page?|one uploaded image]] per user with no questions asked. For an example, I placed the following code at the top of your page: <code><nowiki>[[Image:cheatgold.PNG|thumb|300px|I've got a gold tooth. Wanna see it? Tough!]]</nowiki></code><br>That's all. Have fun! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 15 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Thanx a bunch for telling me how to add images and adding an image and all that crap. Love your page. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]<br />

===How to revert a page===<br />
*YO! I do like what you did to my gallery, but I'd like to revert it for the time being. I do want to change it to your suggestion in the future, though. But, um, how do you revert? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:56, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
:It was more complicated than normal to revert your page since you had already made changes to it. Here are some basic instructions on how to revert:<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5"><br />
:'''To completely revert a page to a previous version:'''<br />
#View the history of the page in question.<br />
#Click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.<br />
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.<br />
#Type a comment in the summary, usually something like "reverted edit of so-and-so; changed to last version by what's her face".<br />
#Click "Save page".</div><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5"><br />
:'''To revert a page and keep some changes at the same time:'''<br />
#View the history of the page in question.<br />
#Determine what changes have been made since the version to which you want to revert.<br />
#Copy the affected section to the clipboard. If there is more than one section, it may be necessary to do a normal revert (see above) and then make the changes again one at a time in later edits.<br />
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.<br />
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.<br />
#From the clipboard, paste in the new changes over the appropriate old section.<br />
#Type a comment in the summary.<br />
#Click "Show preview" to ensure that you pasted the new changes in correctly.<br />
#Click "Save page".</div><br />
<br />

=== Where to link characters ===<br />
I had a question. On the page for [[monster truck]], should "The Sad kids" and "The King of town" in the transcript be changed to include links to thier respective pages? FYI, the sentence that would be changed is "{The Sad Kids and the King of Town appear on screen respectively crossed out}". &mdash;[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]]<br />
<br />
:No. Characters are never linked in the transcript. Instead, they are listed at the top of the page in the order in which they appear. Also, whenever you post something on a talk page, type four tildes after it, like this: "<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>". That will automatically sign your name and put a timestamp after it. It looks like this: &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

=== How to make the vertical line to appear ===<br />
How do you make this vertical line appear? | It's used in a lot of links in the wiki, [[Strong Bad Email|like this]], but if I want to use the line, I always have to copy it from somewhere else. Can you press certain keys to make it appear? [[User:The Chort|The Chort]] 14:11, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It should be on your keyboard. Mine's above the enter key. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 14:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::I'm glad I could bring you two closer together. I have nothing useful to say here, but since this is my talk page, I feel compelled to comment. The character The Chort is speaking of is called the [[Wikipedia:vertical bar|vertical bar]], or pipe. It is used in wiki markup to create [[Wikipedia:Piped_link|piped links]], [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table tables], and other things. As Amanda (H*C) said, the key is usually located at the extreme right of the keyboard, just above the Enter (return) key, grouped with the [[Wikipedia:backslash|backslash]]. On some keyboard configurations, the key is on the top row, just to the left of the Backspace (in this case the Enter key is about double its customary size and the Backspace is about half its normal size). To type a vertical bar, you must hold the Shift key. Well, I hope you enjoyed my short essay. I now return you to the wiki. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:46, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

:''{Tom's code moved here: [[User:It's dot com/instructions code]]}''<br />
<br />
You need to fix up Section II, since I have no idea what's going on there. (And quite possibily sections I and III as well.)

=== STUFF help ===<br />
<br />
I would be glad to help you out Dot Com. I'm bored and I'm really digging what you are doing here. Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]<br />
<br />
:On an aside note, when the time comes will you need help turning all of the current STUFF'd facts to your format? If so lemmie know and I can help you out. When do you think the big change might occur? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]<br />
<br />
::I'm shooting for the middle of this week. Maybe there won't be a new toon this week. That would help. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Looks like you're about ready to make this happen. I would also be willing to help you and Tony with the big change, if you so desire. You know, taking what's currently in STUFF and putting it on the new page. There's a lot of them there. Just let me know. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 03:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I welcome any help I can get. I don't know the best way to go about it. I figure we'll have to temporarily close the STUFF page so that people aren't trying to edit it while we're converting it. Also, I want to open the format up for others to test. I'm trying to get that done tonight. I think the format is really easy to use, but I ''made'' it, so there could be problems I'm not seeing. I'll leave you a note on your talk page when I have more to report, which shouldn't be too long from now. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: In case you didn't notice, I've discovered what is causing the problem in STUFF. Not external links in and of themselves (notice that "The Legend of Credits" has an external link.) It's the fact that there was an equal sign in one of the links. Try plugging a random equal sign into any fact (link or no) and see what happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a response as to the new STUFF's simplicity, I would say it is pretty easy if you follow the directions. I do have a suggestion, though. For the how to revise page you have the entire template out for cutting and pasting, but the initial template setup has the optional things on parts of it. It might make it easier to take the optional notes and the false user votes off of that template so it's easy to cut and paste the entire thing. That's what I think anyway. Other than that, I think the new system is great. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 19:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I went ahead an implemented everything, including Protecting all the templates and DELETING!! all the test pages I could think of. If there are others I missed, feel free to TBD them. I ended up erasing a lot of old Verdicted facts on the old STUFF page - dig through the history if you really feel you need them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===New STUFF Verdicts===<br />
<br />
The new STUFF looks prooty good! One little quibble: it appears that the original posting dates were not included when the open STUFFs were ported. My real question is: how should a VERDICT'D STUFF look? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: The date thing was my fault. Anyway, I guess that a VERDICT should be another template or two, and should be put in place of the arguments and votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: I fixed the dates. For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div><br />

::: Ha ha, it feels like that sometimes.

=== STUFF query ===<br />
Hey It's dot com, I just noticed that one of bottom 10's [[Template:STUFF/bottom_10|STUFF entries]] is not ever going to succeed due to the author's mistake. (The Knott's Berry Farm one) It is not true, and will not get a single acceptance vote. I just thought it might be best to close that one now and save everybody time. On that note, I have also noticed that you are the only one who ever closes STUFFed facts, and was wondering if you wanted a hand with that. I am willing to help you out if you want me to. <br>Forever Young, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:To tell the truth, I don't mind doing it at all; it's fun. But others are of course welcome to do it (this is a wiki, after all); and certainly you should at least know ''how''. (It's not difficult, but it ''is'' involved. The instructions are [[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|here]].) I dunno, like I've said to BazookaJoe, since I made up the format, I feel responsible for making sure all the gears mesh and turn like they're supposed to. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:49, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:P.S. I took care of that item like you suggested.<br />
<br />
=== Anonymous STUFFing ===<br />
<br />
Okay, it's one thing to say that Anonnies can't VOTE in STUFF facts. It's another entirely to say that they can't CREATE facts; I'd taken it for granted that they could. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:The rules state: "You may only edit arguments while logged in." I would think that extends to creating items. If a user cares enough about an item, he can log in to create it. If an item truly is important, a logged-in user has probably already made it anyway. As for this particular item, it was such a stretch that it would have been deleted outright from the page. If you truly feel, however, that it needs to go through the process, resubmit it anew (but I've got a thousand dollars I would bet as to how the verdict will end up). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:26, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:: Well, I don't disagree that it was a waste of space. I was more thinking about future reference&mdash;if someone actually adds a fact worth STUFFing. I suppose the only safeguards we had specified for unlogged users were votes and editing pre-existing arguments (it doesn't specifically say that unlogged users can't add facts or arguments) so I wanted clarification. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:44, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::I'll admit, I threw it out on a technicality. A technicality I would probably overlook if it had ''any'' merit at all. The last couple of days it seems like people are abusing the STUFF page, STUFFing the most trivial bits of nothing. I was trying to make an example of something that clearly deserved to get the ax, to try and nip this in the bud. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:52, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::: Fair enough. For example, I completely deleted a false "Fact" yesterday (regarding The Cheat's bendable arms never appearing before outside of Cheat Commandos, in spite of the fact that they'd been seen in [[caper]] and [[virus]]), so imagine my surprise today to find that it had been re-added (albeit prematurely Verdicted). Was it the same guy? How could multiple people make that mistake? And, as a result of your previous comments, I modified the "Add a toon/Add an item/Revise an item" instructions; now, all three say that you must be logged in. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:56, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::: "Early," not "premature." When several users find multiple instances that directly contradict an item, it is patently false and therefore not worth our time. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:59, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::: Er, maybe my wording was a bit confusing, but I already knew that. I tend to refer to facts as "prematurely closed" when they're closed early no matter what the reason&mdash;even if I was the one who did it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:03, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

I was checking [[Matt Chapman]]'s page [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&action=history history] and noticed that the last [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Matt_Chapman&diff=0&oldid=154227 change] added the misc fact: ''"*Can be seen as an audience member in one episode of '''[[IMDb:tt0163507|Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'''"'' This is very general and my fingers are itching to revert it and leave a 'please provide evidence' note. But I haven't. Perhaps out of pity. Suggestions? (Do you have a fact-checking or fact adding set of guidelines even for admins?) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:31, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Well, I hate to interrupt somebody else's conversation, but I checked this myself. If you look at Matt's IMBD page, it lists him as an uncredited audience member near the bottom. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::I don't know about [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] cuz it's his message bored but I personally appreciate the interruption. Not to mention quick response!

==it's "Dot com"==<br />
Hello. Thanks for letting me know about the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Strong_Bad_Email#Redirects discussion] regarding deleted redirects of the first two Strong Bad Emails. I was previously unaware of the accusations by Jay against me. By the way, may I call you IDC? It's an acronym of your username if you wouldn't mind me referring you by it. Thanks again. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 18:45, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I don't think he was accusing you, just perhaps mistaken. I alerted you to the discussion because I figured it pertained to you and therefore you could tell us why you thought it was better not to have the redirects. But if it wasn't you, then, obviously, you can't. Ah, well. I think the redirects are going to go forward (if E.L. Cool or others are still up to it). As for a short form of my user name, when people ask what it is, I say: it's [[User:It's dot com|Dot com]]. 19:26, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Baseball fan!==<br />
<br />
Hey Dot com! Are you a baseball fan?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]<br />
<br />
:I should probably add this to my user page sooner or later, but I'm a ''huge'' fan of baseball, and Major League Baseball in particular, and more specifically the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. I've got my trusty Rangers ballcap on right now, as always. I've been to several games this year and plan on more. I don't live in the Dallas&ndash;Fort Worth area, otherwise I would have season tickets at Ameriquest Field. I make up for it by keeping track of the team on TV, radio, and at mlb.com using Gameday, Gameday Audio, and MLB.TV. I mainly follow the AL (my second-favorite club is the Yankees), but I do like some NL teams: the Nationals, the Astros, the Mets, and (sorry) the Cubs, to name a few. Tonight, as it turns out, the Rangers topped the Orioles, 4&ndash;2, in Baltimore. Yay! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Cool! You're only the second user I've heard of that is a baseball fan (other than me, there are two I've heard of). If you're not a ''huge'' cub fan then you won't bother me--and if you're not drunk, I'll be fine.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]<br />
<br />
:Not a huge Cub fan, but I do pull for them as the perennial underdogs, especially now that the Red Sox have won it all. Even being a Yankee fan, when Boston was able to overcome a 3&ndash;0 deficit, when in Game 4 all Rivera had to do was put out the side in the ninth... well, at that point I was pleased to see the BoSox finally rid themselves of that blasted curse! (I can't remember, who was it they beat in the World Series? ;) ) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:24, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Yeah. I know, the Cardinals lost. I went to game four of the World Series, I was sad *sniffle*. I remember there were lots of Red Sox fans around us. One guy was talking to his wife on the phone the whole time. When the Sox won, my dad asked this red sox fan next to us, "What will you do now? This is your whole Idenity." And the red sox fan said back, " What year is it 86 years from now?"<br />
But the cubs haven't won the series since 1908!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]<br />

Hey, how's your stuff for the DVD coming? Are you still working on [[Puppets on the Road]]? Oh, and are you doing [[Sample of Style Too]]? Because if not, I think I am going to take a stab at rewriting its transcript today. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 13:35, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I see that the Sample of Style Too main part and outtakes are both just about done. I didn't read the transcript closely... you say you're going to ''rewrite'' it? I was working on Puppets on the Road, but I was wiped out last night and didn't finish it. I'd still like to complete POTR, but if somebody beats me to it, I won't be upset. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:38, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
::I wrote Sample of Style Too's transcript using snippets of [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005#Characer Animation Video|NYU Talk]]'s transcript. There were many differences between the two videos (see [[Talk:Sample of Style Too]]). I would love it if you could get Puppets on the Road up. It's funny and popular with fans and I'm sure they would love to read it. I don't mean to rush you, though. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:30, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::Nah, I just kinda got slammed with going out of town and then I actually had to go in to my job and do real work. Sometimes, I can goof off here, but not today. And tonight, I was in a softball game. And we won the game. And so we went and got real fruit smoothies. (Really.) I figured at some point someone would just go ahead and take POTR from me if I didn't get a chance to finish it. I'm not even at my home computer (where my DVD is and where I've done all the DVD stuff), or I'd do it now. So to sum up, if somebody else does it instead because I dragged my feet, that's cool; but otherwise, I can do it by later tomorrow. If ''you'' should do it, just drop me a note here so I won't worry. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:45, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

Perhaps change "me" to "JoeyDay".)<div style="text-indent:1.5em">Remember that not everybody stays at their computer every minute of every day, so sometimes patience is required when waiting for a response.

It's like an umpire in baseball, who nobody pays any attention to when everything is going fine, but people rant and shout when a call is blown.</div><div style="text-indent:1.5em">A couple of pointers: whenever you're describing your edits, try to avoid emotionally charged words like "useless", etc. It's sufficient just to say "reverted such-and-such to version by so-and-so".

==The Process==<br />
Hey, '''Dot com''', it's [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]]. As you seem both knowledgeable and up front about how things get done, I thought I'd come to you. Recently, I've been doing the whole recent change patrolling bit, and have come up with the following questions:<br />
*Do all edits done by anonymous users need to be reverted? I've encountered a few that are correct or beneficial.<br />
*Conversely, if a registered user makes a questionable edit (say, for example, adding a goof or remark that is open to debate), what would I do? I've reverted a couple, and I need to make sure this is within the rules. <br />
<br />
Thanks for any input you might have.<br />
<br />
:Well, Smoking Monkey, anonymous users are more than welcome to contribute. I daresay ''everyone'' (with the exception of the handful of people who actually set up the wiki) started out as an anonymous user. They often have insight or experience that are invaluable to getting to the bottom of an article. The reason we keep such a close eye on people who aren't members is that it just happens that most of the edits that are redundant, obvious, or otherwise non-beneficial come from anonymous users. The vast majority of trolls are anonymous as well. So, to make a long story short, '''do not ''automatically'' revert anonymous edits.''' (Note: if we wanted, we could prevent anonymous editing with a simple setting; obviously, we have not chosen to do this.)<br />
<br />
:If a logged in user makes a bad edit, it can be reverted just like an anonymous edit. '''Logged-in users get a little special treatment, however.''' First of all, it's polite to list a reason in the edit summary instead of simply rolling back the page.

That is, if someone adds something but you're not sure, then just leave it. But if an anonny deletes something (especially something big) that you think has merit, put it back.<br />

==[[:Template:sightingslist|New Template]]==<br />
<br />
Thanks Dot Com, that color looks good. I'm just wondering about the centering. On the Email template (the one I modeled this one after), it's much larger, and fills the whole screen from side to side. This one doesn't, so on larger displays, such as mine, it's shifted to the left. Any idea how to center it? (And for the sizing, it's small on the Strong Bad Emails to save space. I don't think it'd be too bad to have medium font on this template, for easier reading and clicking). {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:53, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br><br />
'''EDIT:''' I think the centering thing could be something to do with 'width="100%"' {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:55, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Er, I guess you haven't looked at the template again yet, because I already fixed the centering.

==Free Country USA==<br />
<br />
'''It's dot com''', it's your friendly neighborhood '''Smoking Monkey''' again. I just wanted to comment on the [[Free Country, USA]] thing earlier today, because I've made you my unofficial HRWiki mentor and seek your advice from time to time on Wiki matters.<br />
<br />
In any case, what caught my attention was an anonymous user dumped, say, 50% more info on the Free Country article. I've noticed over the weeks that 90% of anonymous edits tend to be speculation, stating the obvious, or just plain wrong. Let's say the other 9% are helpful typo, spelling and grammar corrections. It's that 1% that leads to doubt. This guy/gal radically expanded a decent article, but I couldn't tel whether the expansion was worthy or not. I know I was previously advised to err on the side of expanded content, but I've seen even registered users get slammed for adding little bits of info to articles. This guy/gal added a lot, and when I first saw it, I balked. It seemed like speculation, so I reverted.<br />
<br />
Then '''Mr. Bojangles''' re-reverted. I looked at it a second time - this time I saw disconnected thoughts that added only confusion - so I reverted ''again''.<br />
<br />
Then '''you''' reverted my change, and I looked at it a third time. This time, I saw neither speculation nor confused thinking - only prose that needed refining.<br />
<br />
I admit I've been in a bad mood recently, and have been, er, draconian in my enforcement of what I perceive is appropriate for the Wiki. I admit I was wrong reverting this article across the board.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I made it up by actually adding to and trying to improve on the additions of the anonymous (and British) user - I got a little too caught up in making sure others play by the rules...<br />
<br />
Faithfully patrolling the Wiki, {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 00:26, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Your characterization of anonymous edits is probably dead-on accurate (except when pages are first being created, which isn't that often, relatively speaking). If someone has something important to add, they usually take the step of registering first. Most of my edits were relatively minor until I registered. In fact, it was when I was trying to add something more substantial that I was encouraged to join.<br />
<br />
:I appreciate that you consider me something of a mentor, and I take seriously my responsibility to you and others I help. I carefully consider any advice I give, and it is always my hope that each user's experience here is improved by my input. This can't always be the case when someone disagrees with me, but in cases like that I try to be as diplomatic as possible. As far as anonymous users go, I try to incorporate any part of their contributions that I can&mdash;anything&mdash;so that they will feel important and be comfortable enough to finally become full contributing members.<br />
<br />
:In ''this'' specific case, you may notice that I didn't do a straight revert, but rather cleaned it up a bit before adding it back.<br />
<br />

Hey It's dot com! I was wondering what you did with the 2005 updates page? Was it a ploy to annoy the troll? {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 02:08, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hey Rogue. That troll is not a person; rather, it is some kind of bot that searches for the different sections on the page and adds links under each one. My reasoning was that if I removed all the sections, it would have nothing to do, and would quit. In the meantime, I put up a notice so that any regular user who was looking at the page would be aware of what was going on. I don't know whether my actions actually did anything, or whether it was just coincidence that the attack stopped (almost) at that point. Only further research will tell. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:14, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Pronounced with an "RWiki" ==<br />
<br />
This is a bit trivial, but an interesting fact. As you know, I'm all hung up on England, and even spent three weeks there. In response to your question 'wouldn't it be pronounced aitch-are-wiki?', the answer is 'no'. Not in England. Just the same way they pronounce the letter Z as 'zed', they also put an H sound in front of H, making it 'haitch' or something thereof. I'm not sure if this is of significance, but it's an interesting fun-fact nonetheless. I think so, anyway. But since the Wiki (and H*R itself) are American-based, your 'an HRWiki namespace' would technically be correct. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />

How do you make that "blockquote" (i'm not sure what it is called but thats what it said in editing) where it shows what Strong Bad wrote on his computer on the transcripts?

:Sorry for the delay in responding. I might suggest that you would get a faster reply by posting questions to the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]]. Anyway, it's possible to recreate the blockquote style outside the wiki, but you need to know some CSS and where to find it. First of all, the HTML (<nowiki><blockquote> ...blah blah <br/> ... </blockquote></nowiki>) is the same as the code you get when you press "edit", so you could just copy one of those to practice. What you need then is the various definitions for "email" found in [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] (and possibly other CSS files... check the source code of a wiki page to see what they are). Also, you would need the image of Strong Bad's face copied and saved to your server. It sounds kinda coplicated, but I hope this helps. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:55, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

:Hey, '''Dave.''' I did notice. In fact, I deleted all the bogus redirects I could find. I think I got them all. As for blocking him, I wasn't sure whether to do it. If blocking would lead to more vandalism but ''not'' blocking wouldn't, then I'm willing to leave well enough alone. I was actually seeking advice from Joey and/or Tom, but neither of them seems to be online right at the moment. Obviously, if Willy or whoever this gets so much as a toe out of line again, he'll get the indefinite block. What do you think? I haven't been able to get in touch with any of the other sysops, either, so he could yet be blocked by one of them and this discussion would be moot. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:12, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

:::Hmmm...since it was my first WOW-battling incident, I was bit hot afterwards, ''especially'' when he came out and said "sorry" and then "if you try to block me, I'll just do it again."

Essentially, he was malicious, but only so long as it saved him from being bored.<br />
<br />
:::Your point is well-taken, though: if we can't actually block him because of the AOL loop-hole, then I guess it shouldn't be a problem if he continues behaving like a normal user.

:::''Here is the relevant text from that page:''<blockquote>Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]], add good [[stuff|fun facts]], [[Special:Recentchanges|monitor]] pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but ... it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple!</blockquote><br />

::I'm glad you posted that, It's dot com, because it's a good explanation! Definately monitor for edits, learn to recognize good and poor edits, and always be diplomatic in discussions. Undertaking worthwhile projects (with wiki-approval first) is a great way to contribute and be noticed. To all of this, I would add that you should think about why you want to become an administrator. If you want to be an administrator to have more power, that's the wrong reason.

:Right. It wasn't that I thought that they were untrue, just that they didn't really qualify as references. Thanks for checking on that. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:20, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Pasta Salad a go-go ==<br />
<br />
Hey, Ben. Thanks for, um, clarifying the tone of my voice for the whole Pasta Salad talk Page boondoggle. It's easy for me to forget no one around here (short of you) really has any idea who I am. Life's kinda throwing me a curveball right now, and as an artist, I tend to get irrational about my work (even if it's three sentences about Gron Mad eating elbow macaroni). I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Anyway, thanks as always for the classic Dot com level-headedness. &mdash; {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 22:28, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Well, Dave, I just knew you wouldn't make an article&mdash;on whatever subject&mdash;without a positive reason, and certainly not to make a point. As far as I can tell, that's not your style. And I felt I needed to step up and say so, so I did. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:36, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Geddup Noise ==<br />
<br />
It's dot com, it's getting pretty ugly over here at [[geddup noise]]. There is a constant revert/add between whether the KOT says Booo or Dooo. Maybe someone should add a footnote about the transcript, like in [[boring (really)]]. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:36, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Archives==<br />
<br />
I wasn't sure where to ask this, but you seem to know alot. So what exactly is this archives.org that people keep retrieving treasures from? How does it really work, and would you be able to provide me with an answer to my question on [[Talk:some kinda robot]]? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:50, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I'm not really all that familiar with that, TBird. You might try the FAQ talk. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]<br />
<br />
== Greetings ==<br />
<br />
Hey there It's dot com, i got your message from my talk page thanks for the greeting.<br />
<br />

<br />
Lets get to know each other a bit:<br />
<br />
#How did you find me so quickly?<br />

<br />
[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 06:05, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Well, Nikolce...<br />
:#I saw you create your user page in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]].<br />
:#Ben.<br />
:#Read all about me on my [[User:It's dot com|user page]].<br />
:#I edit Wikipedia as an anonymous user from time to time, but I'm not a member.<br />
:Again, welcome to the wiki! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:11, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
by the way it's dot com, when you reply, reply the message to my talk page, it's just easier to know i have s new message, but thats if you want to. [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 04:45, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Actually, Nikolce, I'm a big believer in keeping threads in one place. But you're welcome to add me to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]] if you want, at least until you get a reply. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:07, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Reynold ==<br />
<br />
Alright, I have to ask. As my first bold attempt at helping keep the peace in this particular Wiki, I remove a Wikipedia reference to pizza. Why is a link to such a common food necessary? [[User:Come back, chocolates!|Come back, chocolates!]]<br />
:Where is the harm in including it? The article is interesting, and you might be surprised how much pizza differs in other countries from the U.S. version. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:52, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
::No harm per se, it was simply my motivation to prevent the building a precedent of Wiki-linking every common object, regardless of its history. But I digress. -[[User:Come back, chocolates!|Come back, chocolates!]]<br />

==Encountering trolls==<br />
<br />
Uh... I think i just found a troll. What do i do? --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:17, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:First things first... what did you find? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]<br />
<br />
::Oh wait, dorian gray deleted it, i think. It was on the user page [[User:Aussie Evil]]. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:20, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Oh good, thanks for blockin them. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:25, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Below are some general suggestions for anyone who might be faced with this issue in the future. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:40, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
'''If you find a troll, especially one in progress:'''<br />
*Revert each affected page to the last good version (the instructions for reverting are at the top of [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]]).<br />
*''Use the edit comment "reverting trolling".'' This will help the sysops notice something is wrong.<br />
*Make an entry on [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]] for the troll. If no sysops are around at the time of the vandalism, they can check the list and make appropriate blocks later.<br />
'''Some things to remember, especially in the face of a serious attack:'''<br />
*Remain calm.<br />
*Remain professional.<br />
'''Some things ''not'' to do:'''<br />
*Do not feed the trolls.<br />
*That is, do not put anything in edit summaries that would encourage them to continue their attacks.<br />
*Likewise, do not try to reason with them or taunt them on their talk pages.<br />
Hope that helps! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]<br />
<br />
:It does, thanks!!!! --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 22:14, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Edit comments==<br />
How does one make editing comments? -[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 21:43, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Click "edit" at the right over there &rarr; . Then look just below the editing window. See where it says "Summary"? Type something in that box. That's how you leave an edit comment. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:47, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Alphabetizing Categories and Catchin' Trolls==<br />
This seems like a good place to put stuff... I don't wanna clutter your talk by making new categories, that's why I keep piggybacking my messages. Ever thought of Archiving!? (gasp!) Hehe. Anyway on to ''buisness'':<br />
*Ooooohhh! Right! So that's what it does. I thought it changed how the entry looked in the category list, and seeing no change, thought it did nothing. I had to remove it cuz it was autolinking to PseudoCharacters edit page, and I am sure I had created the link after I made the page. And I think I tried to purge... the hard way... Maybe? Anyway thanks for the fix! <br />
*BTW check out my first troll person report!<br />
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:10, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a comment really is a continuation of an earlier thread, then go ahead and piggyback, but if it's a new thought, then it's perfectly fine to (and I prefer that you would) start a new thread. :) I reorganize my talk page from time to time and it helps me keep everything straight. As for archiving, I'm probably gonna put it off for at least a little bit longer. Only recently has this page exploded to the point that archiving would be necessary. If you want to see a page really in need of being split, look at [[User talk:Tom|Tom's talk page]].<br />
:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As for the user who deleted things, well, he's not a troll. You may disagree with the things he deleted, but each example was something that is borderline. I even agree with a couple of them. Also, there's no reason to think that he saw the message left him in the edit summaries. Most anonymous users probably never look there. If you need to leave him a note, you should do so on his talk page.<br />
:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry for removing him from the troll list, because I can tell you're proud of it and that your heart is in the right place. Don't worry... there'll be plenty others. ;) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah.... I was proud of it. You're quite observant! :). Bye troll edit :'( ... ;) To me they looked like random edits removing credible information. He was just over that side of the line (except for his first edit). Oh well. Next time! Catch ya later! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==IP block issues==<br />
Yo, Mr. Dot Com, might I ask why you keep blocking my IP address every time, and also mark me as a "repeat offender?" I asked nicely for you and the other sysops to fix the rpoblem of this, because it's getting extremely frustrating for me when I want to edit something and I can't because somebody with a similar IP addy is trolling the site. This is now the fifth time that something like this has happened, and the second consecutive time that it's been you who has blocked me. I know you're just trying to do your job, but it isn't fair to people who follow all the wiki rules to be blocked just because of idiotic trolls who like to delete pages and add cuss words to them. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 01:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I apologize for any inconvenience, ISlayedTheKerrek. I will be happy to investigate your situation further, but I need some more information. What was the IP address that was blocked? When did you notice the problem? How do you connect to the Internet? I have reviewed the block log, and any blocks I have imposed for any real length are for what I consider serious infractions. There have been only three occasions when I have used the comment "repeat offender," only one of which was recent. In addition, the IPs fitting this description have had zero legitimate edits. Unfortunately, since this seems to be a recurring problem, it may not have a simple solution. There are some real jerks out there whose mission in life seems to be to spoil the fun for everybody else. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to sort this out. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:23, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::My IP address, although I don't know EXACTLY which one it is offhand, is in the 205 range. Note this as well...I am not editing from my computer at this exact moment, as you again have blocked me because of the reason I stated before. I hope you can find a way to fix it soon, because this is now time number 5. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:28, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::KerekSlayerDude: You can check your IP by going to [http://www.ipchicken.com IP Chicken]. Let us know the exact IP that is blocked and we'll see if we can get the block removed. Thanks. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:54, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::Well, my current IP address according to IP Chicken is 152.163.101.7, which has changed in the last couple of days from the 205.whatever it was before. Right now, I'm able to edit from my computer, so all is good for now. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:51, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::Thanks, Kerrek. If you have this problem in the future please let us know. Again, we're sorry about the inconvenience. We appreciate having you around and hate to see good productive members getting blocked an behalf of nasty trollers. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:18, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::::Actually, he ''slayed'' the Kerrek. ;) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]<br />
:::::::ISlayedTheKerrek, if you ever find yourself blocked from editing again, please simply email a sysop or [mailto:admin@hrwiki.org the Admins] a short note explaining the situation. Make sure you include the IP address that appears on the blocked notice. It is easy for a sysop to unblock you, you just need to supply us with the proper information and remain calm.

== ATTENTION: this is a joke, don't take it seriously ==<br />

I thought you of all people would know that it's against the rules to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Sick_Day&curid=12730&diff=0&oldid=157606 tamper with other people's comments]. I'll let it slide this time, but try to be more careful in the future. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 15:46, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Well, at least I justified it by doing it for no good reason whatsoever. ;) ...Seriously (and I know you said don't take it seriously), you ''can'' fix others' formatting to a point, so long as you don't change the ''content'' of their comments. And, for purely aesthetic value, those color words really needed to be colorized. I would have gone with green for "greediest" (which of course is not a color word, just different from "greatest"), but it was already taken by "greenest." &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:35, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah, I know... Just a little too bored this morning. I usually don't let it get the best of me, but what can I say. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 18:04, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::Likewise, I only replied (partly) seriously because I don't like comments to go unanswered, especially on my own talk page, and I couldn't think of what else to say. Also, if someone comes along and reads this later, I wanted to explain it so they'll have a clue as to what we were talking about. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:18, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

How ... do you join it? This little experience has made me like this wiki, more, and now I want to join the chat channel. HOW?!?! {{User:H*R 700/sig}}<br />

== Hi from H*L! ==<br />
Hallo! I was ''so'' glad that my new page was noticed by a Wiki legend like yourself... Anydangway, it's cool to be welcomed into the Wiki community. I seem to be gaining popularity among current and former music students. Keep on tranglin'. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 04:33, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Sorry for the late reply. I must have missed your comments. A ''legend''? Heh, I don't know about ''that'', but it's kind of you to say. And tranglin' is my middle name. Well, actually "dot" is, but if I ever changed my name, it might be to that. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's tranglin' com]] 23:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Help creating welcome template? ==<br />
I'm kinda embarrassing, since this is the sort of thing that seems like it ought to be easy to find an answer to&mdash;but it hasn't been. I want to start welcoming folks formally, and thought it would be nice to make an adapted welcome message of my own. I know doing this would involve creating a subpage in my userspace&mdash;but I have no idea how to go about that. Thanks! &mdash;[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:32, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Oooo! May I? (answer this one?) Making templates and new pages is really easy. So I hope I can explain well. First things first, new pages. All you need to do to create a page is to go to it and start editing it. Make sure you save the page, so it actually writes something down to create the page! Suppose you wanted to create a page called "strombalos" under your user space, then you'd go to [[User:notstrongorbad/strombalos]] (notice how it's in red now -- if you click on it now it'll take you straight to the edit page), and start adding information. It's that simple! You can even (from your user page) type the new URL yourself and start it that way. As for templates: all you need to do for the basic form is to put regular wiki code. There is more on templates that you can learn [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template here], cuz they have neat stuff like variables and the like. There is more general help [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section here]. Now for your specific case, you want to make a welcome page for our guests. I won't go into detail here, but you must use the template format in a special way. Suppose you had a template [[User:notstrongorbad/welcome_template]] in that page. Then you inject the code: <code><nowiki>{{subst:User:notstrongorbad/welcome_template}}</nowiki></code> into the victims', er, guests page and hit submit. It will inject the code and replace the contents of the template in his page. To practice, you can always use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. Good luck! I hope this helps. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:57, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
::And that's what I needed to know! DONK! Many thanks. &mdash;[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 08:12, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Block ==<br />
<br />
Dot com, you blocked me then unblocked me.-24.24.226.13<br />
<br />
:Yes. You keep messing with [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]], and it's hard to tell whether you're doing so maliciously. I suggest not doing that. The time that I blocked you, I thought you were blanking the page; then I realized those had recently been moved to an archive. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Hyphen?! ==<br />
(in regards to Freshley's) I know it's an apostrophe; I have no idea what I was thinking when I made the edit. Just so you know that I'm not completely stupid. :-) The reason I reverted the edit, though, was even though it's correct, the display of the link is really funky, and for readability, it probably needs to be without the apostrophe, correct or not. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 20:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I'm not sure what you mean by really funky. I just looked at it again, and it looks normal to me. Either way, it's correct with the apostrophe, so it probably needs to be with it, funky or not. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
::At least for me, the external link box doesn't show up, unlike next to Mrs. Freshley's and the like, so there's several spaces between the word Shaw's and the text that follows it (such as Shaw's____and then text). But yeah, it does need it. That's why I had added it in the first place, but then I figured that it wasn't in the word because the link looked weird, so I took it back out. So it turns out that an edit of mine that I reverted was reverted back. Or something. My head hurts. &mdash; [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 05:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)<br />

*"pØwned" and "p4wned" are variations of the Internet slang. "[[Wikipedia:Pwn|Pwned]] is pronounced by some as "owned" and by others as "poned". P4wned is also [[Wikipedia:Leet|leetspeak]] for "pawned" as in pawn shop.<br />
*The [[Wikipedia: Caber toss|Caber toss]] is a traditional Scottish sport, usually involving a log of specific weight. However, the remark "BAGH! Only 23 metres!" does not apply to the sport, for distance does not matter, but how straight the throw is when it lands on the ground or the amount of rotations in the air.<br />
*A [[Wikipedia:lathe|lathe]] is a tool used to create objects with [[wikipedia:rotational symmetry#Rotational symmetry with respect to any angle|cylindrical symmetry]] such as table legs. It works by rotating the subject while a cutting or smoothing tool is applied, evenly removing material around its circumference.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Clip show|Clip shows]], weddings, new babies, and characters getting killed off are staples of anniversary episodes and are generally considered signs of a TV show [[Wikipedia:Jumping the shark|jumping the shark]]. Such episodes also reprise characters and themes from the show as a whole (this issue features a great number of minor characters from previous issues).<br />
*The "Sweet Someteen" birthday is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Sweet sixteen (birthday)|sweet sixteen]].<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Shareware|Shareware]] is generally software that an individual creates and gives out for free (accompanied by a request for payment), with the intention that recipients will like it and share it with other people, increasing its visibility and potential profitability.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*This cartoon uses a faster animation speed than any of the other ones before due to the 3-D sequence.<br />
*Cheerleader and So And So leave the vowel Y in their words during the vowel-less scene. <!-- Yes, "Y" IS A VOWEL IN THIS CONTEXT!!! See talk page. --><br />
*This toon has more characters in it than any other toon to date.<br />
*The music at the party is a hip-hop version of the TGS main theme song.<br />
*Even though it says in "24 great smelling colors", there are 43 colors.<br />
*When Strong Bad rewinds the 3-D spin around, the "SO GOOD!" speech bubble disappears.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*So And So's teeth are "flesh colored" in her introductory shot.<br />
*Near the end, in the "real life" scene, we see the "ARROWED II" paper on the desk. However, it is missing the "II."<br />
*In the Easter Egg, when Manolios Ugly One is waving his arms around, a gap opens and closes repeatedly in his beard.<br />
*When Manolios says "give it up," his speech bubble says "give up."<br />
*"Vicious" is misspelled as "viscious" in So and So's description.<br />
<br />

== Livemark feed failed to load? ==<br />
<br />
Why is it, that every time I try and add the Recent changes RSS feed to my live bookmarks in Firefox, that I get the error "livemark feed failed to load"? I tried in Google Desktop Search Beta 2, and got an "unsupported web clip version" error. If I try and open the RSS feed with Firefox (not adding to livemarks) I get this text (without viewing the source):<br />
<blockquote><br />

:The issue appears to be the blank line at the top of the document. This is not allowed according to the standard.<br />
:The problem should be fixable by editing index.php - exactly where is a little hard to say without the file, but it should be fairly easy to find. I can't say if this is a bug in MediaWiki, but the current Wikipedia feed *does* validate, so if it is, it should be fixed in a later version (1.6 at the latest).<br />

<br />
::From taking a look at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss English Wikipedia's feed], it looks like this has been fixed in Version 1.5.

:::Considering this page suffers from the same "issue", I'm guessing the very first line of index.php is blank. If this is the case, deleting it should fix the problem - if it's not, look at includes/Feed.php next for the same symptom.<br />

:::Oh yes - it's probably worth noting that Wikipedia have switched to MediaWiki 1.6 alpha, so in theory, the bug might not have been fixed before then - though I consider that rather doubtful. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]]</small> 22:22, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Hmm. 1.6alpha must be very recent then, since [SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia/] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki mediawiki.org] still show 1.5rc4 as the latest unstable.<br />
::::And I didn't have any luck with our mysterious newline.

:::::Alpha versions will usually not be released publicly, mainly since there's a rather high risk of problems - although there's always CVS is one wants to experiment. I imagine they're very close to releasing the the final version of 1.5, since they usually run the latest possible version on Wikipedia - if 1.5 was not ready, they would not switch to a new alpha.<br />

:::::You should be able to catch the culprit if you run <code>diff</code> on the distribution and compare it with the 1.4.9 release - if you don't have access to a system with <code>diff</code>, I can do it (I will do it nine times), pending a copy of the current installation. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]]</small> 23:03, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Fanstuff Timezone ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I was wondering if it is appropriate for the fanstuff wiki's timezone to be UTC, not MDT. UTC is used on the knowledge-base, so wouldn't it make sense for the default timezone of the fanstuff wiki to be UTC? This would change the time displayed in the history for logged out users, and also would change the timezone used in signatures for all users.

== Hosting ==<br />
<br />
Are the two wikis still hosted on Goleman Networks? Because in the source code of any wiki page there used to be a message saying something like "Served by Goleman Networks in 0.22 secs" but now says "Served by fsserver1.fellowsites.org in 0.22 secs". If its hosted by Fellowsites, the message in the footer on the knowledge-base and fanstuff wiki be changed. Or am I missing something (I don't know a lot of stuff about servers and hosting and stuff)? [[User:203.208.88.138|203.208.88.138]] 04:36, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:The new server is still owned by Goleman Networks, but has been branded with the name FellowSites because we'll be reselling hosting on the new server under that name. Sorry for any confusion. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:15, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Regular Easter Egg feature ==<br />
<br />
I'd like to suggest a new section on the main page that details easter eggs within random tunes/emails. I actually think this could replace the "featured" part of the page and would be appealing to fans, who might not have spotted them all.<br />
<br />
:It could just be me, but I'm not really clear on what it is you're suggesting. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:44, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Random Toon==<br />
<br />
[[Random Toon]] should really be on the [[Main Page]], along with [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and [[Sketchbook]]. Which means we would have to rename their section, 'Weeklies'. Anybody got an idea or opinion on how we should change this? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:09, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Why should we change this? The other three articles are updated every week. Except for housekeeping, Random Toon isn't updated at all. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:15, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::True, but [[Legal]] is on the main page. And that's updated FAR less than [[Random Toon]]. It seems as though if it's linked to from their Main Page, we do the same on ours. Which leaves just the [[Random Toon]]. Besides, It's not like people use the links there to access the newest [[Quote of the Week]] or [[Sketchbook]]. They follow the link at the 'What's New' section like everybody else. And additionally, where else is [[Random Toon]] linked to? If somebody looks on the website, finds the [[Random Toon]] button on there, and then come here to find out about it, where would they look for the page? Does any of this make sense? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:30, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Random Toon is linked on [[Main Pages]] in the section at the top about the four buttons. Legal, on the other hand, is not linked to from any article page. In addition, all the links on our front page link to articles about the ''content'' of the various buttons, whereas Random Toon seems to me to be an article about the button itself. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Well the button itself IS the content of what [[Random Toon]] is. It has no page of it's own. But it does have the button. Come to think of it, it's in the exact same boat as the other weeklies, they don't have pages either. Just pop up boxes. And Legal is far more useless of a page than 'Random Toon'. Why exclude just ONE link from their main page from being on ours? I really think it makes sense to link the Random Toon button on the main page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:59, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::I realize that this isn't my arguement, but the Random toon is on the navbar, and is also on the weeklies bar. It should be linked on the main page. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:01, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::What do you mean this isn't your argument? You're welcome to add to any and every discussion on a public talk page, and most of the time even on other users' talk pages when you're not directly involved. To speak to your point, however, I think TBC only stuck the random button in their weeklies section because they didn't have a better place to put it. I think the fact that it's not actually a weekly feature means it shouldn't go in ''our'' weeklies section. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Yes, It probably be under miscellaneous. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:18, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::::Well that's why I'm suggesting the name change from 'weeklies'. If it was already named 'The Little Circle Buttons On The Top Of The Main Page', there'd be no question to add it there. I really don't think miscellaneous is the right section for it. It's part of the four button set. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:21, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::::But it's also part of the navbar, and the sbemail menu. Look at the main page now, up at the top right. What do you think? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:24, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::::(Edit conflict with above) I was actually talking about the Main Menu, above the blue and red boxes. I can see why you want it with the weeklies, but I think it just fits in the grand scheme of things better at the top. I think we may need some fresh ideas in this thread as well. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:26, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />

<br />
::::::::::Despite the negative connotation I have with the word 'popup', it really does fit. I kinda like it. And Random Toon ''does'' need to be mentioned. It's an integral part of their main page(s); why not ours? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />

<br />
:::::::::::Well you already know my opinion on it, but I still think that it looks better under Popups, dot com.

<br />
:::The fact is that it can't stay the way it is, because it's already been changed ''twice''. First by me, then by Thunderbird. The question is, which link do we like better? The "Random Button" up at the top that matches the navbar (which was also updated), or the "popups" version that matches the buttons. We shouldn't have it on there twice, should we? It doesn't seem like it should.

<br />
:::::To clarify, there are ''two'' links to [[Random Toon]] on the main page now (one is along the top and called "Random Buttons", the other is with the three weekly items under popups in the pink box).

:Sorry I never spoke up on this issue. My vote would've been for exactly what you did, Thunderbird, namely removing the random toon from the main navigation and leaving it in the Popups section. I also like the change from "Weeklies" to "Popups". I really appreciate that you wanted Tom or me to weigh in on this, but I'm glad you went through with the change without waiting on us.

::I'll indent less to make this stand out a bit. Anyway, I see what you mean! I looked at the proposed and current formats and I definitely like the current one better. It allows people to gain more background information of what their looking from a structured page, rather than looking at a cut and dry page. It definitely rocks. However, there ''' ''may'' ''' be people who like to use categories or know vaguely what their looking for without knowing what it's called. My suggestion is this: we can have a cut and dry "Category Browsing Page" with all of these boring links (and any technical information that may have some highly structured ordering to it), and then we can either discretely link it on the main page somewhere (we don't want it to gain prominence and then have people mistakenly use it as the primary means of browsing), or place it as a feature of the navigation toolbox bars. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:25, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

::::Tom, you said "Categories are not articles and generally should not be linked to from articles." This is not true. Go to the main page. Click "Inside Jokes." Then look at our list of said inside jokes that is linked to at the bottom of the page. Or go to "Characters," scroll down and choose Character Evolution. That fact is is that in appropiate places we use categories instead of index pages. If nothing else, we should make another page such as "Misc. Pages" or something and link to them there. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:11, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

The traler is about 4mbs big and was sensored by the brothers chaps for reasons I don't know. I thought this would be interresting to post. If you want it drop me an e-mail @ har_hac@hotmail.com and please be desceret about it ( I don't know why it was banned )<br />
<br />
Hmm, strange. Umm, how did you get this, and whats it about? [[User:H*R 700|H*R 700]]<br />
<br />
The traler appears to be have banned somewhere in the compy 386 days, I got it from e-mule tring to get as many h*r toon files as I could and this came up so I downloaded it, thought it would be interesting. It's a spoof of the origanal matrix w/Keanu Reaves as Neo<br />
<br />
Hmm, perheaps they banned it so the woudn't get sued, or something like that. [[User:H*R 700|H*R 700]]<br />

E-mail me and tell me what you think<br />
<br />
:Well, it didn't work for me, but with a seek bar I was able to have a look. My guess is it is just something a fan made, not something TBC made. Which means it never got "censored". Can anyone who watched it please tell me if the toon had authentic voices (and not just sound clips swiped from other toons, original, never before heard on H*R.com, authentic voices). If it does, then it probably was made by TBC, if not or if there isn't any voices at all it is most likely fan made. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 12:10, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::It is indeed fanstuff. I managed to get it before the bandwidth was exceeded. It doesn't have any voices, just a song by evanescence and the names of presumably the people who made it. It uses the original graphics from H*R toons and is meant to be watched inside an HTML page much like an SBEmail. It is, of course 4MB in size despite its short playing time (possibly from the song it plays). Oh yeah for me, to play it, I had to right click on the swf and click "play", because it was set to "loop" by default. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:21, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I know what this is all about. In the times of the .net forum, one user made a page about Strong Bad Matrix. He had all the plot figured out and everything. He made the treiler for it using TBC's own graphics, not his own. The guy got an email from their legal edviser asking him to make his own toon fron scratch, or stop everything. After that, the story got all blurry (No one wanted to talk about it). But I do know that some T-shirts with Strong Bad Matrix logo were supposed to be sold, and that raised more legal issues. Anyway, the project was terminated and the file can only be found on file-shering programs. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:35, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

:Actually, I recall reading the exact same thing somewhere, it could have been while I was going through LiveJournals getting the old updates or something. This guy was all excited about the 'Strong Bad Matrix' or something, and then eventually he said that the project was in permanent limbo due to legal issues. I'm quite sure [[User:E.L.

<br />
The Brothers Strong own a piece of equipment similar to it, called the [[booOOMbox]].<br />
<br />
As far as origins, "Ghetto Blaster" is a generic 80's term for a boom box, so named because of the proliferation of bass-filled rap music at the time and the usage of the word "ghetto" to describe the inner-city homes of many rappers. It was also the finishing move of a WWF wrestler named Bad News Brown (aka Bad News Allen).<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Here I go once again with the email! Every week I hope that it's from a female! ''{opens email, stops singing}'' Oh man! Not from a female. <br />
<br />
''{reading email}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Can you draw a dragon? I want to see<br /><br />
your skills of an artist.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
well, g2g,<br /><br />
kaizer<br /><br />
CA</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{after "artist," Strong Bad mumbles, "um, okay."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A dragon? That's easy! Feel free to follow along with my simple step-by-step instructions. I make drawing FUN!!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a close-up of a piece of paper on a table. You can see only Strong Bad's right boxing glove, and he is holding a pencil. Simple music starts playing.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' To begin, draw an S ''{draws an S on the paper.}'' for snake. Or dragon. Er, whatever. Next, we'll draw a more different S. ''{draws another S connected to the other}'' For the head, put a top mark on a long V. ''{draws a triangle on top of the S}'' Then you add some legs... ''{draws two beefy legs}'' draw on a couple of arms... and ''{draws two beefy arms, eyes, spikes, teeth and angry eyebrows.}'' Whoa. Wait a minute. {music stops with a record scratch} I think I need to start over. Thing doesn't look natural. ''{draws a speech bubble coming from the dragon that says 'The S is for sucks,' and pulls up a clean sheet of paper.}'' Okay, so starting again, the same way. S, more different S. {Music starts again} Close it up real good at the top for his head ''{makes an attached, open-mouth head}'', and then, using consummate V's, give him teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows. ''{draws all of what he mentioned, plus stick legs.}'' Then, you can add smoke or fire ''{draws both coming from the dragon's mouth}'', or maybe some wings, you know, if he's a...wing-a-ling dragon. ''{Draws two wings on the dragon's back.}'' Let's put one of those beefy arms back on for good measure. ''{draws a single beefy arm on the back of the dragon}'' That looks really good. Comin' out of the back of his neck, there. Now he needs a name. How about ''Trogdor the Burninator''. ''{writes it below the dragon}'' Oh yeah. Check out all his majesty. ''{draws rays of majesty coming from the dragon}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Compy 386.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there's my dragon, Kaizer. {music stops} Let's ''{stops typing}'' see ''{typing}'' how the other students are doing.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to scene in a big room with several tables. Strong Bad approaches Coach Z, who is drawing with chalk on a small slate.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! What do you got for me, Coach Z?<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Take a look there! ''{zoom in a squiggly drawing that resembles a snake}'' I think she's lookin' pretty good!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I said consummate V's! CONSUMMATE!!! Geez. ''{walking away}'' Guy wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' That happened one time!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Mad. He is using an X-Acto Knife to carve the word 'DAGRON' into the table.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad. You just, keep doing your thing, man.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Sad, who has drawn a masterpiece.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh crap! I didn't know ''you'' were doing one.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, sure. I think I've improved on your methods a bit, too. ''{zoom in on his picture}'' I employed some chiaroscuro shading, and...<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll improve on your methods!!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad takes out his [[BMW Lighter]] and sets Strong Sad's picture aflame. It quickly disintegrates with hardly a trace.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' What? That's not an improvement!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' WA HA HA HA!! Trogdor strikes again!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to black and white pencil-drawn scene of Trogdor. Rock music is playing in the background.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screaming}'' TROGDOR!!! TROGDOR!!! ''{singing}'' Trogdor was a man! I mean, he was a dragon-man! Or, maybe he was just a dragon. Um... But he was still TROGDOR!!!! TROGDOR!!!! Burninating the countryside! Burninating the peasants! Burninating all the people! In their thatched roof COTTAGES!!! THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Compy 386.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!<br />
<br />
''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''<br />
<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
*Click on the "R" in the "DAGRON" Strong Mad is carving to see Homsar's attempt at drawing a dragon.<br />
:''{Strong Bad walks up to Homsar, who has written "TASTER'S CHOICE" on a piece of paper and taped it to the table}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of my house! ''{walks away}''<br />
:'''HOMSAR:''' ''{Sadly}'' I do what I'm told...<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Chiaroscuro|Chiaroscuro]] is a [http://www2.evansville.edu/studiochalkboard/s-chiaro.html method] for creating the illusion of a three-dimensional solid form in a two-dimensional piece of artwork through the use of contrasting areas of light and dark. Literally "lightdark" in Italian.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] say this email took the longest to make in an interview with Kevin Scott.<br />
*Strong Bad writes it "TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR" because the [[Fonts|font]] that The Brothers Chaps used doesn't have a capital "I."<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*As noted in the DVD commentary ''(see below)'', Coach Z's drawing faces a different direction in the close-up from the previous scene.<br />
**This same situation also applies to Strong Sad's drawing.<br />
*When Strong Bad is drawing Trogdor's majesty, for a moment we can see that Strong Bad's arm is floating, unattached to anything.<br />
*When Strong Bad types "Let's see how the others are doing", he leaves out the word "see."<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*"And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHT!!!!!!!" is a reference to the email [[guitar]], where Strong Bad says "dragon" instead of "Trogdor".<br />
*Homsar having a roll of masking tape next to him is a reference to the [[Strong Sad's Lament|Strong Sad Blog]], where he is "holding" a roll of tape in the background of his e-vite.<br />
*The X-Acto Knife that [[Strong Mad]] uses is the same one that [[Strong Bad]] uses in the email [[flag day]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*Homsar's "drawing" says [[Wikipedia:Taster's Choice|Taster's Choice]], a popular coffee from Nescafe.<br />
*"Kaiser" is the ultimate dragon form of the hero in the [[Wikipedia:Breath of Fire|Breath of Fire]] series of video games. Since The Brothers Chaps have stated that all of the emails except [[mile]] are authentic, this is either a coincidence, or the email writer was a fan of this series.<br />
*String Mad carving "DAGRON" into the table may be a reference to the Dagrons, dragon-like creatures from the Pirates of Dark Water animated series.<br />

=== Commentary Transcript ===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This is one of the least popular emails we've ever done.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. Everybody hates it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Uh, this one took a really long time, and I remember, not, like—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, you wanted to abandon it. Like, we were three-quarters of the way done—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This is one—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' —and you wanted to start over.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' It was... we just—it's very long, and I felt—I dunno. When you're in the middle of it, sometimes it's hard to tell.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I wonder, though, if we had just, let's say we cut out the whole Trogdor metal thing at the end, if people would, like, if it's Trogdor, just this dr—bad drawing of a dragon or if it's the metal and the, like, drawings<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I think it's th—mostly the metal.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' That's what I'm sayin'.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' So it'd be funny if we hadn't done that at the end or if we'd made it an Easter egg even, so less people saw it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So this is, uh, you know, we learned to draw the Ed Emberley way.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And later the Marvel Comics way.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's true. Um...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' That thing is unholy. ''{Mike starts laughing again}'' True. It's horrible. We always find ourselves humming this song that's in the background.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Doo doo doot doot, see I'm doing it again.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Uh, what is a tincidence[1]! What is a tincidence, Mike?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Um... uh so yeah, the- this email, we're, it went up late Monday at probably, i dunno, 4 or 5 o'clock on Monday we were pretty much done with the whole email and Matt started singing the Trogdor song in this squealy—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{in squealy voice}'' Trogdor!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' —in the squealy voice and so then we sort of knew we had to make the Trogdor metal song and then when we made the Trogdor metal song we had to make all the...fancy-shaded Tro—uh, Trogdor drawings for the video.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And then didn't Trogdor, the name Trogdor the Burn—I think it was just, like, we decided he had to name him and just, like, it just came out, like, there was no deciding.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, overlapping}'' Yeah, you just came up with it. There was no, like thought—yeah, right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' The drawing of Trogdor took a while. Took some...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. And if you watch there, his thing flips.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' What happened?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Coach Z's drawing—well there, his head's on the left, but in the closeup the head's on the right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Ohhhh.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I mean, Coach Z's left, and Coach Z's right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Right. Dagron.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Dagron. He's misspelled the word "dragon." There's everybody's favorite. He's correctly spelled the words "Taster's Choice."<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs a little, then a pause}'' That's a good drawing, Mike. We still have those.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yep.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' There's the BMW—the, the ever-present BMW lighter. Didn't we say we had some, some people we met that said they tried really hard to find one.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And they don't exist in real life, so we apologize.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So... I don't know how these drawings are going to look on your TV screen.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' All made big like this. They might look kind of pixelly and gross, but...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I'm, uh, I don't regret it, though, if they look pixelly and gross.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' No, we did that on purpose!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs a little}'' Yes.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You can see in the smoke of the flaming peasant's head, it just kind of—there's a straight line at the top of the smoke. It just kind of stops and that's from the edge of the page. It's just—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Oh really?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. You can't see it—yeah, you can see just how it stops<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh there we go, I see.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And so, of course, later this all became Peasant's Quest fodder.<br />
<br />
=== Fun Facts ===<br />
*Ed Emberley is the author of several "how to draw" books for children. Emberley's methods consistsed of drawing letters of the alphabet to simplify things.<br />
*"How to Draw the Marvel Comics Way" is one of a series of many, many books detailing how you too can learn to draw in the style of your favorite comic artists.<br />

==Transcript==<br />
''(Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen behind a booth with a banner saying "TROGDOR-Con" above them.)''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so here we are at TrogdorCon! Got booths set up and lookin' good! So, The Cheat&mdash;these cons... what exactly is gonna go on here?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Geeks and nerds?! That doesn't sound like anything I wanna be a part of!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies in skimpy sci-fi costumes? That sounds like everything I wanna be a part of! Are you sure they're in the same place as the geeks and nerds? That doesn't make any sense. Ladies in skimpy outfits should be hanging out with me... and to a lesser degree, football players and rappers. Not geeks, nerds, or any of their smelly brethren.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I'll see it when I believe it.<br />
<br />
''{Homestar Runner walks up. He has a paper star taped over his normal star and is wearing a red beanie with propeller similar to Old-Timey Homestar's over his usual cap.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh, Booth 101! My favorite booth! Hey, guess who I'm supposed to be!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... Homestar Runner?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, you got it! First try! Was it my star ''{he shows off his paper star}'' or propeller cap ''{he bends over and shows off his cap}'' that gave it away?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It was your unbelievably loose grasp on the world around you.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I guess I do have one of those. Hey, what kind of cool stuff do you guys have here? Got any pewter figurines, or maybe some magna?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, just hangin' out and seeing what walks by.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh oh, I can walk by! Here, watch! ''{Runs offscreen to the left, and instantly returns, walking slowly and staring at his feet. As he moves, his words are not in time with his steps.}'' Left, right, left, right, right, right, no&mdash;left, right, left, right. ''{exits}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So, by the way The Cheat, what are gamertags? Why do we have boxes of them behind us?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So we're not really selling gamertags?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What're we really gonna be selling? Some of those ''million sided dies''?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So, us hanging out selling gamertags is a front for us plain ol' hanging out.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, you're a genius! I don't pay you enough!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{glares at Strong Bad}'' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh right, I don't pay you at all. That's what I meant to say. Now let's kick back and see if we can't summon some skimpily clad ladies to ye olde gamertag booth.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat jumps onto the table and plays an alpine horn}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Where'd you get that bad boy?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Booth 709, huh? I'll have to go check that out!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' They've got axes and swords!? Man, this con just keeps gettin' better all the time! ''{Strong Sad enters from left, wearing a pair of semi-transparent Trogdor-style wings, an armband, eyeliner, blood teardrops, a tribal-tattoo style design around his belly button, and with his toenails painted black}'' Oh, and we've hit a snag.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' What are you guys doing here?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hangin' out. Don't tell nobody, but secretly we're really just hangin out.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' But didn't it cost money to get a booth?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I don't know where The Cheat got 500 bucks or where your missing 500 bucks is. All I know is that we're hanging out here at TrogdorCon '97! Or in your case, Trog-''dork-on'' '97.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' It's not called TrogdorCon and it's 2005!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It might be for you, but ''{pause}'' you're... a butt. ''{smiles}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' That's a good 'un, Strong Bad. Okay, I'm gonna go buy some ''{with exaggerated inflection and movements}'' anime!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It's called Japanimation! Least it was last time I checked, which was 1987. ''{The Poopsmith walks by in shadow in his Sleestak costume.}'' I don't know about all this, The Cheat. Maybe it's time we filled up that horn of yours with pea soup and tried to shoot it all the way over to that Godzilla guy's booth.<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat holds up a can of pea soup and the horn. He and Strong Bad run off. The word "endeth" appears over the screen, and The Cheat's horn is heard in the distance.}''<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
* Mousing over "New Short" on [[Main Page 22]] during the week of the update displayed The Cheat's horn off to the right side.<br />
* Clicking the 'tag?' on the "gamertag?" sign at the end will result in this:<br />
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{drenched in pea soup and speaking very angrily}'' Ohhh, somebody picked the wrong authorized [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller to mess with today!<br />
<br />
* At the end, click on the period in "endeth." to see Strong Bad criticising people's costumes.<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, loincloth, please to be putting on more clothes... Ugh... like five or six... more clothes... ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what's up, ironic costume? I suppose you think you're cooler than everyone here! Well guess what: ''You're also here.'' At the comic book convention. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I never thought I'd see the day where a tattoo was a bad thing, but you madam, have shown me the light. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Just for fun I think I'm gonna start throwing boxes of gamertags at dudes wearin' kilts. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD''': The fact that your costume is accurate down to the tiniest detail does not change the fact that that TV show ''sucked''. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD''': Man if I see another person in a diaper... ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hello Rotunda! Your physique certainly merits you wearing that leather bikini and fishnet hose.<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] is the Japanese term for comic books, literally translated as "whimsical pictures." Outside of Japan itself, it specifically refers to comics of Japanese origin (and sometimes comic books drawn in the Japanese style). Homestar's "magna" is a common misspelling and mispronunciation among English-speaking comic book fans.<br />
*Similarly, [[Wikipedia:Anime|anime]] is the Japanese term for animated cartoons, used outside of the country to specifically refer to cartoons of Japanese origin. "Japanimation" is an American term for anime that is now rarely used and is considered outdated.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Booth 101 was the booth that [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt]] had at [[Store#DragonCon|DragonCon '05]].<br />
*Booth 709 at DragonCon was occupied by [http://www.edhellen.com/ Edhellen Armoury], and sold axes and swords.<br />
<!-- Yes, we do know that TrogdorCon is a parody of DragonCon. It's implied by the above fun facts, and does not need a fact of its own. --><br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*Though Strong Bad says he doesn't pay The Cheat, he has been shown paying him in [[lackey]], albeit with pencil shavings.<br />
*This was the longest short when it was released, and is similar in size to two toons released just before it. In fact, it is even longer than the toons [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], [[The Reddest Radish]], and [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]].<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*The Poopsmith's Sleestak costume was first seen in "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".<br />
*The King of Town is shown to hate peas in [[different town]].<br />
*Strong Bad mentions [[1987]] as being the last time he checked whether anime was the same as Japanimation.<br />
*Homestar's chant of "left, right, left, right, right, right, no&mdash;" is similar to the description of [[50K Racewalker]] on the [[Videlectrix]] games catalog page.<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*"Gamertags" are accounts used by [[Wikipedia:Xbox Live|Xbox Live]] subscribers.<br />
*"Million sided die" is in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] style of roleplaying game, where the dice can have anywhere up to [[Wikipedia:Zocchihedron|100 sides]].<br />

''{We open to a shot of Strong Sad and Coach Z standing in the Athletic Field, which has been painted to resemble a soccer field. A knotted rope is dangling from above.}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Come on, Strong Sad, I knows you can do it! Just cram a little oom-pah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no times!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Look, I'm willing to ignore that ''{winces}'' "oom-pah down my pants" comment, ''{looks back at Coach Z}'' but I'm more concerned ''{looks up at the rope}'' with what that rope is attached to! <br />

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if you ask me.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington, ''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides off the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}'' who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm! They both died! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{The girl starts crying. We cut to another area of the field, with a tree stump and squirrel in it.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time! I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles. Just sadness and misery.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a town.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner! And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a two-shot of Saddy and the Mayor.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So one day, the Mayor ordered&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, I know this part! ''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers ''{A paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS". Saddy and the Mayor each walk off either side of the screen as the three Dancing Brothers slide to the center.}'' to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival! ''{Motown-style music starts playing, and the brothers start dancing}''<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a good time tonight!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look at 'em go!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real".}'' good time toni&mdash; ''{The music cuts with a record scratch.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately! ''{The aforementioned occurs. A cane drags the brothers off-screen. Saddy and the Mayor fly back onto the screen from the left.}'' The Mayor then ordered Saddy Dumpington to leave town and never speak to its citizens again.<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' But, Mr. Mayor! Sometimes, dogs get so hungry, they eat their own tails! Isn't that&mdash; ''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy Dumpington with such force that he flies out of the town.}'' greeeeeeaaaaattt? ''{Saddy falls tenderly on a hill. We fade to a forest, Saddy Dumpington walking through it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of critters 'long the way.<br />
<br />
''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket! You have no central nervous system! So it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to another area of the woods. A fox is now present.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers? ''{Saddy turns to look at him. The piece of paper falls from the top of the screen again, and The Dancing Brothers fall into the frame, dancing.}'' "Glenn", "Martbell", and the "Killer Dynamo"! ''{music begins playing.}''<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time toni&mdash; ''{Again, the music scratches to a halt. The Dancing Brothers look dejected}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No! The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas! ''{The Brothers start sneezing}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, jeez! That's harsh!<br />
<br />
''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then one day, ol' Dumps here got a message from town! ''{an arrow with a message attached flies into a tree. Cut to a close-up of the letter. As the message is spoken, the words appear on the page.}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="width:300px">Saddy,<br><br />
We haven't stopped laughing<br><br />
since you left. No one can get any<br><br />
work done. We need you to come<br><br />
say something miserable and<br><br />
depressing so we can have our<br><br />
lives back.<br><br />
<br />
<div align="right">Talk atcha later,<br>The Townsfolk</div></blockquote><br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Something miserable and depressing? I've never thought of such a thing! <br />
<br />
''{An odd-looking purple snake with a tuft of hair on its head slithers towards Saddy.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Um... would weird snakes be considered depressing?<br />
<br />
''{cut to an evening shot of the field. Saddy is walking through it, now with an odd tail on his back.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So he strolled into town, dressed as a weird snake.<br />
<br />
''{We cut to the town. Saddy Dumpington is wearing a costume reminiscent of the weird snake he found by the pond. All the townsfolk are laughing.}''<br />
<br />
'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I'm a weird, weird snake, everyone! My name is Weird Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives.<br />
<br />
''{The townsfolk all collapse. Cut back to the Athletic Field, the rope and Coach Z still present.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' And that brings me to this rope. I'm gonna pass out if I have to climb this rope.<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Man, Strong Sad, that's a real load right there! A real load! That kind of thing might work on Coach X, or Coach Y, ''{loudly}'' but you're dealing with Coach dang Z! Now get up that rope! ''{Strong Sad moans, and passes out.}'' Oh, jeez! I killed the Elephant Man! Oh, this is bad! This is rrrl bad, man! What would the Dancin' Brothers do in a sitch'ation like this? ''{thinks for a moment and then starts dancing and singing}'' <br />
<br />
Oh, gonna have a good time tonight!<br><br />
Gonna have a good time tonight! <br><br />
''{dances off the screen.}''<br><br />
Gonna have a good time... <br><br />
<br />
''{Strong Sad opens his eyes and turns his head towards the camera.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Works every time.<br />
<br />
'''SINGERS:''' ''{along with the music that starts playing}'' Gonna have a real good, good, good, good, good time tonight!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Sad pretends to go back into unconsciousness. The screen darkens, and "end." appears, accompanied by Saddy Dumpington's head.}''<br />
<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
* Click on the rope at the end to see what is really holding it up.<br />
:''{Homsar is upside down at the top of the screen. He has the rope in his mouth.}''<br />
:'''HOMSAR:''' <!--No speculation here, please! We have been completely unable to reach a consensus regarding Homsar's line. See the talk page for more info.--> ''{tries to talk with his mouth full; his words are unintelligible}''<br />
:''{His hat floats in a rectangular path off his head and comes back}''<br />
<br />
* Click on Strong Sad's head to see a scene with Bubs at his Concession Stand.<br />
:''{Cut to Bubs at his concession stand.}''<br />
:'''BUBS:''' ''{on the phone}'' What? No! Of course you can't come here! You need to get out of town, man! Lay low for a while! Yeah, all right, all right, you is my dog too. Now get movin'!<br />
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping in from the top of the stand}'' Who was that?<br />
:<br />
:'''BUBS:''' Ah, that was just Homestar. Now keep outta sight!<br />
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{makes a panicked noise and hides again}''<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
{{checkstuffpage}}<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Vertebrates|Vertebrates]] possess a [[Wikipedia:central nervous system|central nervous system]] consisting of the brain and spinal cord. [[Wikipedia:Invertebrate|Invertebrates]] (including [[Wikipedia:insects|insects]] like [[Wikipedia:Cricket (insect)|crickets]]) possess a nervous system, but do not have a spinal cord.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*This is the first toon that features members of the main cast but in which neither [[Homestar Runner]] nor [[Strong Bad]] makes an appearance.<br />
*In the scene where the townsfolk laugh until they pass out, the man in the front left looks identical to the man in the back right, only mirrored. Once everyone passes out, a man falls from above who looks identical to the person in the back left.<br />
*When the note gets pinned to the tree above Saddy, it already has the words on it. Yet when it zooms in, the words don't appear until after they are said.<br />
*Strong Sad says that "Ropes are for dopes" is a quote from the legendary folk hero he made up, but neither ropes nor dopes are mentioned in the story itself, or the blog entry where Saddy Dumpington first appeared.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
[[Image:folky tale goof.PNG|thumb|look closely|120px]]<br />
*When Strong Sad falls down at the end of the toon, the shape created and overlaid on the background to show his indention in the grass does not quite match the background. The green and the white are both slightly brighter, and the seam in the white circle doesn't line up.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*Saddy Dumpington was introduced in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].<br />
*Listening to Bubs's end of the phone conversation, Homestar apparently calls Bubs "his dog." He refers to other characters this way in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] and [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Joseph Merrick|Joseph Merrick]] (1862&ndash;1890), called "The Elephant Man," was a person from the late 19th century known for being deformed as a result of either [[Wikipedia:Proteus syndrome|Proteus syndrome]] or [[Wikipedia:Neurofibromatosis|Neurofibromatosis]].<br />

[[Image:jhonka_real.jpg|thumb|right|220px|In Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] <br />
<br />
'''Jhonka''' was the name Strong Bad created for the writer of the email [[impression]] when none was given.<br />
<br />
Jhonka shows up in the game [[Peasant's Quest]]. The Jhonka is very rich and lives in a cave as shown in Peasant's Quest. He is deathly afraid of the [[Kerrek]] and is kind of gullible.<br />
<br />
Jhonka vaguely resembles the character [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]] from the Lord of the Rings books and movies. This may be referred to in the Peasant's Quest game, where if you try to "give" the Jhonka something he'll reply with "Don't need nothing from no filthy peasantses!!", echoing the Tolkien character's unique style of speech. <br />
<br />
The Easter egg in [[impression]] provides an interesting description of the Jhonka:<br />
<br />
<pre>JHONKA<br />
The Jhonka are one of many<br />
tribes of primitive, troll-like<br />
creatures found in the lowlands<br />
and throughout lesser dungeons.<br />
<br />
Their low intelligence makes<br />
them quite susceptible to toilet<br />
humor and cheap gags such as<br />
"Gimme five. Up high. Down<br />
low. Too slow."<br />
<br />
FREQUENCY: Common<br />
INTELLIGENCE: Low<br />
ARMOR CLASS: +2</pre><br />
<br />
This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], in which the entries for monsters followed a similar, albeit more detailed, format.<br />

<br />
''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad's desk. Strong Bad is severely ill and curled up into a ball under the table, coughing and shivering. A box of tissues that reads "Tish You!", lies next to him along with a mess of used up tissues. }''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{coughing}'' The Cheat! Get in here with my puke pail. ''{coughing}'' And bring me some tissues. Lots more tissues!<br />
<br />
''{Homestar walks in from the right of the screen with a thermometer in his mouth and an obvious look of sickness}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, my burps smell really bad. Check this out. ''{making breathing noises}'' Hang on.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. Go away. I can't smell anything anyways.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I'm betting you can smell these!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well you're lucky it's your burps that smell. DO NOT go into Strong Mad's room. Or, as I've taken to calling it, Rotten Egglünd.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to outside Strong Mad's room. The door is covered with police tape that reads "Quarantine!". There is a green haze coming out from the bottom of the door.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG MAD:''' SOMEBODY HEEEEELP!<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Homestar in the Computer Room.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. The Cheat! What's taking so long with my tissues?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{in a green bucket that reads "Puke Pail for Him!"}'' ''(crying noises)''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{coughing}'' Oh well. I guess I'll just re-use some of these already re-reused ones. ''{grabs a tissue}'' Ow! They're pointy now!<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I don't think you're going to be able to answer your word problem this week. So I'll take one for the team. Two trains enter a tunnel going four miles per hour. At what time do they reach Poughkeepsie?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans and coughs while speaking}'' The Paapeeeer!<br />
<br />
''{The Paper comes down, with a distorted noise. It appears crinkled and says "Strong Bad, I can't come in today".}''<br />

*Despite the fact that this obviously is a [[Strong Bad Email]], it is considered to be a short toon.<br />

*Clicking the [[Lappy]] does not cause the screen to ripple like it normally does.<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Drape it over your aaaaaaarms, step out in styyyyyle, Strong Bad Emaaaaaaail... ''{starts reading}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="lappy email"><br />
<div>subject: records</div><br />
dear strong bad,<br><br />
i was wondering if you were in the record book. if so,<br><br />
what for?<br><br />
nathan, tx</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad says "tx" as "Tee-Ex" (that is, as the individual letters).}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oooh, the Nathan TX! That has, like, way four more cylinders than the standard Nathan. Better Blue Book value, too. I can't remember if I'm in the record book or not. Seems like I should be. Let's take a look. A book-look! ''{pronounced like "buuk luke"}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a table. Strong Bad places "THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS The Book!" on the table.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see what we got in here.<br />
<br />
''{He opens the book to page 42. The page shows a picture of a really dirty Coach Z with an afro and moustache, and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Longest Showerless Streak 65 Days, 3 Hours, 42 Minutes: COACH Z."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Sixty-five days?! That's ''way'' outdated! I'm pretty sure he's surpassed that one by several fortnights at this point.<br />
<br />
''{Turns to page 116. This page shows young Strong Bad in a diaper and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Dirtiest Diapey, Very, Very Dirty: LIL' STRONG BAD."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape&mdash; Whoa! ''{throws coffee, eggs and bacon on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee, eggs, bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.<br />
<br />
''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, holding a magnifying glass and humming softly, writing on a grain of rice. His face is magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of basmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record! <br />
<br />
''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.<br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!<br />
<br />
''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker labeled with the number "7" sitting near the pile.}'' <br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Vwoooooooooooooooooo-foop!<br />
<br />
''{The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!<br />

<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?<br />

<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting chewed gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with nine pieces of chewed gum on his face. Music starts.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for it!<br />

==Easter Eggs==<br />
[[Image:Nathan TX Easter Egg.PNG|thumb|The Nathan TX]]<br />
*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on notebook paper. <br />
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX," which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labelled "built-in smoke" (pointing to smoke from the tires), "3 front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).<br />
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt. (The link continues to work after the King has sucked up the shaker)<br />
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second [[Wikipedia:redneck|redneck]] joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardnesses, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes.<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*The King of Town has a series of [[Wikipedia:heart attack|heart attacks]] after eating the pile of [[Wikipedia:Edible salt#Health effects|salt]] because it contains [[Wikipedia:sodium|sodium]], a chemical element linked to [[Wikipedia:Hypertension|high blood pressure]]. Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attacks.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*As of July 25, 2005, the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=W/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html women's world record] for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. Marzipan's world record is just one-quarter inch short of the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=M/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html men's world record] of 20 ft, 1.75 in.<br />
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Bull Honkey" for 10.8 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo&ndash; part lasts for 8.1 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to The Paper coming down is 13.4 seconds. The number is more likely to refer to the fact that this is email #134.<br />
*Strong Bad discourages Coach Z's hopping, singing, gum-on-face record, claiming it to be "random crap that no one else would ever do", but later in the e-mail, Strong Mad earns the record for most macaronis nailed to a paper towel tube... by Strong Mad, which probably qualifies as random crap that no one else would '''ever''' be able to do, since one of the record's qualifications is being Strong Mad. Also Homsar tries this record showing that someone else would try it.<br />
<!-- We've seen Strong Sad smile in the past, and it's not so much of a rarity these days, so don't put it here. --><br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*[[Count Longardeaux's Book]] apparently has two chapter sevens &mdash; one for "Records of Loneliness" and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."<br />
*Even after the King of Town inhales the saltshaker, the place on the table where it sat can still be clicked for the Easter egg.<br />
*Strong Sad's pen does not magnify under the magnifying glass.<br />
*When Strong Bad was turning to the "Dirtiest Diapey" record, it looked like he was turning one page, but instead, he turned seventy-four pages.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*Coach Z was seen with an afro and mustache in [[stand-up]].<br />
*The salt shaker the King of Town is seen eating from is also used in [[Meet Marshie]].<br />
*"You got-a some hiccups?" is the same line Strong Bad used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] when The Cheat got the hiccups.<br />
*The [[Soapbox]] Homestar stands on has been seen before in [[fingers]] and [[army]], with labels containing "eleven" and "twelve", respectively (in this email it contains "thirteen").<br />
*The music played while Homsar hops on one foot is from his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]].<br />
*The buzzer that is played when the pages appear on the screen is that same one that's used for the [[DELETED]] screen.<br />
*The groans heard when Homestar tells his second redneck joke are from [[Senorial Day]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*"Blue Book" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Kelley Blue Book|Kelley Blue Book]], a resource book for people who want to buy or sell used cars. When discussing the price of a used car, people will often check the Blue Book for the car's value.<br />
*''[[Wikipedia:Paradise Lost|Paradise Lost]]'' was an epic blank-verse poem written in 1667 by English poet [[Wikipedia:John Milton|John Milton]].<br />
*The Standard Nathan Brand Salt container is drawn to resemble the Morton Salt container, manufactured by [http://www.mortonsalt.com/consumer/about_us/history/index.htm Morton International, Inc].<br />
*"Nathan TX" refers to the nomenclature of some less-expensive cars, such as the [[wikipedia:Honda_Accord|Honda Accord]] or [[wikipedia:Mazda_Protege|Mazda Protege]] often, there is a base model, and then a higher end model differentiated by the additional letters. Luxury editions will usually be differentiated by a series containing an "x', such as EX, LX, EXT etc. the 'T' is a turbo designation, (i.e. the [[wikipedia:Volkswagen_Jetta|Volkswagen Jetta]] 1.8T) evidenced by Strong Bad's comment of the TX having four more cylinders.<br />

'''The Classroom''' is where lectures and training are given, and where science fairs are held. Strong Bad has used it to teach Homestar how to say [[Fhqwhgads]]. Also seen briefly in [[A Jorb Well Done]], where Homestar Runner shows Coach Z the difference between Job and Jaerb. This is also where Strong Bad gives motivational lectures on Wednesdays, Strong Mad does the Sports section for [[Strongbadia|Strong Badia]]'s Action Cool News 5, and possibly where Coach Z demonstrates to Homestar Runner that women are just like a great sports play at the start of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]]. <br />

'''The Athletic Field''' is the area of [[The Field|the Field]] where many crazy sports are played in [[Free Country, USA]]. There is a scoreboard, but instead of field goal posts, there are [[Wikipedia:basketball|basketball]] hoops. Sometimes the field is painted like an [[Wikipedia:American_football#Field_and_players|American football field]] (although the numbers on the yard lines are incorrect and out of sequence), and sometimes it looks more like an [[Wikipedia:Football (soccer) field|association football (soccer) field]]. Some games played here include [[Peg Strong Sad]] and some kind of sport where you "hit stuff with a golf club" (see [[mascot]]). The Athletic Field has a climbing rope, which is apparently held up by [[Homsar]], although what holds up Homsar, if anything, is not shown.<br />
<br />
Here's what [[Strong Bad]] has to say about the athletic field: "What the crap kind of freaked-up sport are you guys playing anyway? I mean, you're on a football field, but you've got a basketball goal, and basketballs and footballs..."<br />

<br />
'''Strongbadia''' (also spelled Strong Badia) is the field behind the dumpster that is ruled over by [[Strong Bad]]. He introduced his monarchy in "[[i rule]]". In "[[colonization]]", he tells the story of how it was founded (which took place around the time that the wireless web was invented) when Strong Bad started renting the land from [[Bubs]].<br />
As seen in email "[[other days]]", Strong Bad gives Strongbadia a firm scrubbing every Thursday.<br />
<br />
Citizens of Strongbadia include Strong Bad, [[Strong Mad]], [[The Cheat]], the [[Tire]], the [[Stop Sign]], [[General Tso's Chicken]], Strong Bad's [[Tandy 400]], and the [[Cinderblock]]. However, the official population of Strongbadia, as recorded on the Stop Sign, is "Tire." In the email "[[2 years]]", it was revealed that two years after the email was released, September 2005, the population will have tripled to also include a Bundt Cake pan and [[Coach Z]] (taking a leak). The Cheat will also have painted a mural on the fence, reading "FIReWORKS or die," and there will be a [[Bottomless Pits|world-class hole]]. However, this has yet to be proven, as it is currently September of 2005.<br />
<br />
The Stop Sign and the Cinderblock serve as an unfinished [[monument]] to Strongbadia's monarch.<br />
<br />
Strongbadia also has its own [[local news]].<br />
<br />
As seen in the email "[[little questions]]", Strongbadia is, or at some point was, on very good economic and political terms with Sweden (perhaps even to the point of an alliance).<br />
<br />
In the email "[[flag day]]", Strong Bad sings the Strongbadia National Anthem and the flag of Strongbadia is first shown. This anthem later appears on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].<br />
<br />
In 2004, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] attempted to conquer Strongbadia via his [[Homestarmy]], which at the time consisted of himself, [[Strong Sad]], [[Homsar]], The [[Painting of a guy with a big knife]], and a popcorn maker named [[Frank Bennedetto]]. Though Strong Bad was outnumbered almost 2 to 1, Homestar agreed to cancel the invasion because Strong Bad and Strong Mad were playing Badminton. The only casualty was Bennedetto, who was seriously wounded and even considered dead after sustaning severe kick trauma.<br />

<br />
Thanks, i'm really new at this<br />
<br />
Also lil stiny, to post your user name and timestamp, just type four tildes like this:<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> and to post your name on STUFF type three tildes like this:<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>. Oh, one more thing. When you go to a page that has a picture that you want, you can click on it and that will take you to the image page where you can copy the name. Welcome to the wiki, and good luck!!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 20:18, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Remember:copy the exact image name from the page. That's along with the upper and lower case letters :)--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 20:29, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Debut ==<br />
<br />
By the way, Lil Stiny, it's great that you're changing all the 'debut' tags. But you need one minor fix: the colon (:) should also be bold. It should be like this: <nowiki>'''Debut:'''</nowiki> , as opposed to <nowiki>'''Debut''':</nowiki> . Just giving you the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
**Thanks, One time I added a debut to something and someone chanegd it from("") to the bold with a colon and so i decided to go around the whole wiki changing those.</div>Lil Stinyhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/BadmintonBadminton2005-09-28T17:10:10Z<p>Lil Stiny: /* Appearances */</p>

'''$11.01''' is the price of all action figures in the Homestar Runner universe, regardless of their size or quality.<br />
<br />
The reason for this, as [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] reveals in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary for [[flag day]], is because [[Matt Chapman|Matt's]] birthday is November 1st (11/01).<br />

*In [[labor day]], Strong Bad accidentally broke part of The Stick off while giving it a high-five. Curiously, the piece that broke off was never seen before that particular toon. Naturally, since it broke off, the piece hasn't been seen since.<br />
*According to [[origins]], The Stick presently rates a 10 in hangingoutitude, but was originally the site of [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Songs#Songs_from_Strong_Bad_Emails|bread sing-alongs]].<br />
*In [[different town]] Strong Bad imagined the Stick as a [[Places Strong Bad Made Up#Big Ol' Tree|Big Ol' Tree]].<br />

'''The Aldi Bag''' is an old plastic grocery bag that [[Senor Cardgage]] is almost never seen without. It either contains cold pizza, rotten vegetables, the shattered pieces of Senor Cardgage's former life, or maybe just melty candy bars (to be eaten really loudly while standing way too close to you in line). Senor Cardgage also uses this as a pillow. In the "[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]", [[Strong Bad]] steals it and hides it [[Behind the Fence|behind the fence]]. <br />

"Wood-davers" are the arts-and-crafts project proposed by [[Strong Sad]], in the email [[caffeine]]. He mentions them again in [[boring (really)]].<br />
