==The Magical Spit-Bubble==
When Strong Sad Has A Spit-Bubble Stuck In His Throat, His Voice Goes Ultra-Deep. Yet, When Homestar Has A Spit-Bubble In His Throat, His Voice Goes Ultra-High, In Fact, Exactly Like Marzipans. Shouldn't both Their Voices Go One Way? -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 07:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

It's a reference to the Princess Bride, where the guy in the Pit of Despair has a similar problem with his voice, no? --[[User:66.213.14.20|66.213.14.20]] 23:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

:No, it is not safe to assume that.  Assumptions are rarely safe.  Especially since the KOT said he did not eat it, and he called in about the guitar licks.  Not to mention with all the voice impersonation going on, we can't even say it was the KOT at all. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== Guitar fun fact ==

I liked this fact (although would suggest it be reworded by someone better than me):
*"Furious Fingers" claims to have 17 guitars with 43 necks. With a ratio of roughly 2.5 necks per guitar, he must own several triple necked guitars and likely a few doubles as well.
The notable thing isnt so much the presence of the guitars, but the sheer number of multi-necked ones (if only 3 neck and one necked, then 13 would have to be triple, or 8 double and 9 triple), which strikes me (although i will admit that I am musically challenged at best) as a bit odd. Assuming no more than 3 necks per guitar (which I accept is wrong, but more seems to be rare from the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Double neck guitar|article]]), over half have to be triple for this to work. [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 19:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:Multiple-necked guitars are not so unusual - especially back in the 80's, you saw them quite a bit. Is it unusual for someone who collects guitars to have a lot of them? I guess it comes down to this: it doesn't seem notable because it's obvious from context that many of the guitars have to have multiple necks. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
::Well, im no math genious, but hwen it comes to guitars, i know guitars. [http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/30/music-thing-the-triple-neck-guitar/ here] is a real triple neck guitar for those doubting their existance. --{{User:Choc-O-Lardiac_Arrest/sig}} 21:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Okay, this is why wikis should be a bit more down-to-earth. Here we are, talking about double and triple necked guitars, but we never gave the idea of the KoT PLAYING A GUITAR!?!

:I think it's worth hanging a link to a page talking about (or better yet, showing) a triple-necked guitar.

== What have I done? ==

Dear god, what have I done? I email a completly random thing to SB, and then THIS happens.  I feel sick.  Then again, the lappy needed to go.  I think it was having an affair with Marzipan's answering machine. [[User:Cessna Man!|Cessna Man!]] 21:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

== Future Category ==

So far this toon is only linked from the main page, but that is expected to change once the Brothers Chaps finish this story arc.  While it will probably end up as a "Short", would it also be acceptable to classify this as a "Not-Quite-Strong-Bad-Email"?  --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 15:45, 25 Sept 2006 (PDT)

:Well, it is categorized as such now. The categories are based on the TV Time menu on the site. As this is not in that (yet), it's premature to classify it as a Big Toon, Short or whatever. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

==Crocodile Neighba==
Sorry, I didn't realize that had been added/removed before. But aside from that, I think it's a pretty clear reference to "Pearls Before Swine." The crocodile next-door neighbors regularly appear in the strip trying to trick Zebra. I don't think TBC would just pull a crocodile next door asking to borrow a cup of sugar out of thin air. [[User:128.227.130.28|128.227.130.28]] 04:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

::I've read PBS daily until about a year ago, and I don't think there's a reference here. I mean, Homestar is not trying to trick SB. Sure, it sounds as if it could be a reference, but Homestar might just as well be weird as usual.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

::: I don't think it is a reference to PBS because the crocodile next door is always trying to ''eat the zebra'', not make cookies.
::::Homestar, however, wants to make "puppy cookies". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::'''Edit Conflict'd!''' Those crazy crocs also talk in a funny accent [http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060910.html]. Ah, I shouldn't have stopped reading it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::: Also, the crocodiles try to trick Zebra into coming over to their house or letting them into his house, usually by asking him to do something that seems innocuous (like borrowing a cup of sugar). And since (until "Marzipan" turns out to be Homestar) the message is a parody of Strong Bad leaving ridiculous prank calls on Marzipan's answering machine, the reference seems to fit nicely. [[User:128.227.130.28|128.227.130.28]] 05:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:Call me crazy *waits* but I believe the point of a reference is to reference something in a '''funny''' way.  Simply finding an occurrence in the real world that matches what someone said does not a reference make.  You'll find a billion of those.  The only joke in this occurs in what Homestar said, in that the word ''puppy-dough'' looks like the word ''puppy-dog''.  This is almost more of a reference to the Doo-ing/Doyng joke Homestar made before.  Don't make me go out and find another case of someone living next door to a crocodile just so that this can be TTATOT like just happened with the Beatles vs Marilyn Manson. :) --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:36, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's Phone Number ==

Based on the tones I'm hearing at the start of the e-mail, it seems like Strong Bad's phone number is 415-6715.  Is that something worthy of putting in the Fun Facts Somewhere? --[[User:Hyrulian|Hyrulian]] 04:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:Usually, this kind of ferreted out stuff would be a cool fun fact. I suggest that we don't add it for the sake of the poor person who owns this number. Well done, anyway! How did you find this out? Perfect hearing? {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, I'd agree on that point.  Poor person getting phone calls for Strong Bad.  Anyway yeah, I was just listening carefully to the sounds on the toon and comparing it to the sounds on my cell phone.  (Funny thing is, I actually kinda had an approximation on what the number might have been just based on listening to the tones on the toon many times, I guess I'm such a geek...)  Another way to find out would be to probably try sending the sounds of that e-mail to your pager or cell phone as a numeric page and see what number comes out, although the sound quality of the toon might not be good enough for that. --[[User:Hyrulian|Hyrulian]] 18:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::I actually saved the sound file and ran it through some sort of analyzer thing (http://dialabc.com/sound/detect/index.html) and you were close, it's 415-6745 instead of 415-6715, but still. I had the same idea to just listen on my cell phone.. But i decided to be more high tech ^_^ I think it would be interesting to list.. I looked up the number in Washingon, and it is listed under 3 area codes. Well, it exists for 3 area codes, all unlisted. 235 is an Arch Wireless cell phone, 360 is a Qwest landline (unlisted) and 425 is a verizon landline, also unlisted. I thought i'd be smart and figure it all out but when I got here it had already been done. But hey, maybe someone should try calling :P--{{User:Collin/sig}} 06:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

==Marzipan?==
I think Marzipan should be included in the cast list, since it's obviously Marzipan's voice, even if it's a joke that it's really homestar just sounding like Marzipan.  It's clearly Missy Palmer's voice. [[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 05:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:So what? Is it Marzipan? No. Therefore it would not be factual for us to include her. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::I agree.  The cast list is of characterrs, not voices. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 01:28, 27 Sept 2006 (PDT)

==Transcript's Voice Identification==
The specific question at hand is whether a not-yet-recognizable voice should be identified in the transcript as who it is later revealed to be. My thought would be that the transcripts here should read as much as possible like a viewing of the toon (which is the larger question at hand, the alternative viewpoint being, I suppose, that they should reflect some sort of absolute truth), in which case homestar's first sentence or two should be attributed to Marzipan (or, a compromise I would prefer, to "Marzipan's voice"). Likewise, Strong Sad's first sentence would be attributed to "Deep Scary Voice" or something like that. [I don't know how to make a signature|sorry] 03:02, 26 September 2006 (EST)
:We usually try, as you put it, to "reflect some sort of absolute truth", so the way it is <!--Yes, that's grammatically correct.--> is fine. To make a signature, just type a string of tilde characters: four if you want a time stamp with it (generally preferred, but by no means mandatory) or three if you don't. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 07:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:: We at least recognize this in the [[Subtitles:lappynapped/en|subtitles]], where the "distorted voice" and "Marzipan" are counted separately from the actual speakers. But that's more due to the nature of the subtitles, I suppose; it'd ruin the joke for those with subtitles on otherwise. As for the transcript, in most cases, it can be assumed that the reader of the transcript has previously watched the 'toon. At least, I think. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Since this toon came out when I didn't let myself use Flash on school days I read its transcript before I watched it.

"At the end of 'cliffhangers', The Paper read 'Tune in next time for the cliff hanging conclusion!!' This toon, the next one added to the site, doesn't resolve anything."

I assumed The Paper, within the context of a SBemail, meant that the conclusion would not be within the next Toon added to the site, but within the next email episode.

Or, that this is infact the conclusion.  Conclusions don't always have to resolve things.  Didn't you see Jurassic Park? --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 07:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

== Lappy Icon ==

I could find no trace of anyone mentioning this yet, but the icon on the poster is wrong in the cartoon.  While TBC are certainly allowed to change things, the original lappy icon did not have the big lips and blonde hair.  That icon was only seen in the [[dreamail]] cartoon, and it seemingly only existed in Strong Bad's imagination.  True, the feminine version of Lappy is more memorable, but the real icon (seen in [[animal]]) definitely has no hair or movie-star lips.  Shall I put a reference to this possible goof in the article? --[[User:Triumvir|Triumvir]] 17:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

::thanks whoever changed the picture link, I was called away unexpectedly. as far as whether or not it says ceiling tile on the front page, i dont really care, but i've just never seen a sign board that looked like a ceiling tile before.{{User:Csours/sig}} 02:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
:::I will grant you, they look similar, but it's easily believable as a corkboard. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
::::ok, this is actually bugging me more than i thougt it would. have YOU ever personally seen white corkboard? cause i never have. and i searched the internet for white corkboard, and i got white ceiling tile. so has anyone ever seen this mythical white corkboard? {{User:Csours/sig}} 02:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

== Hush Puppy-Dough Cookies? ==

Uh, did anybody else make the connection between Homestar's "Puppy-Dough Cookies" and the hush puppies that Strong Bad keeps mentioning in retirement A & B? I think this is a pretty obvious reference, so I added it. -{{User:Eman/sig}}

:I buy it, though it never would have crossed my mind before watching A & B.  Good find. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

== Change?? ==

I think we should change the Fun Fact about Dolph Hauldhagen's class schedule. Is it trying to say that in "other days", Strong Bad said that his class was on Saturdays, but in this toon, Dolph himself says it's on Wednesdays? That's not what I thought it was saying...

== Dolph Kwon Do ==

The Easter Egg for Dolph's class sounded a lot like the commercial for Rex's class in Napoleon Dynamite, but only conceptually. I thought it was worth a mention here, but not worthy of Fun Fact status. Anyone disagree? Is the resemblance stronger than I think? Or am I imagining the whole thing? - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 02:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

==Possible Fast Forward==

Strong Bad calls himself "Attractive Strong Bad". I figure I should add this as a Fast Forward to [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]. Or maybe not. I dunno. We should probably note it somehow. If anything, we should make a new page titled "Appearance of the word Attractive" or "Attractive" or something. [[User:Philip8o]]

== Sugar ==

I feel like asking to borrow a cup of sugar is a reference to something, but I can't remember where I've seen it before. Does anyone know?
:I can recall plenty of stories and TV episodes where someone had to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor, or tried to cover up their real plans by saying they had to borrow sugar. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 03:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
