Running Time

I timed this email just to check if the current one was right, and I got 3:10 at the end of The Paper's descent. Do we go by when The Paper first comes down or when he finishes coming down? LePorello / T / C 12:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

At the end of the email, including "waiting" easter eggs; meaning after The Paper has finished printing. — Lapper (talk) 13:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Half Life 2 reference

The Poop Smith looks a lot like a combine metrocop in Half Life 2, Maybe that was a real world refrence! Masher101. 7:14AM, 13 March 2006

Well, if you think it's a reference, go ahead and add it! I wouldn't know; I've never played Half Life 2. — Has Matt? (talk) 13:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I doubt that this was intentional. Feel free to request for it to be STUFF'd. — Lapper (talk) 13:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I thought he looked more like those things in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. Trey56 15:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Vogons, you mean? — Lapper (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I'm thinking of. Especially the scenes with all of them in their suits with lasers on their chests. Trey56 21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree, he looks a lot like a CP with a stunstick. (Image) --AndrewNeo 18:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

"I hate your shoes" or "I think you're cute"?

I'm not sure what it is the mutant head bad is saying at the end, but it sounds far more like "I think you're cute" than "I hate your shoes". I could be wrong though. What do you alls think? --86.135.179.79 13:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I hear "I think you're shoes", though it's most probably something else. I'm betting 100 pencil shavings that this is going to be the next Quote of the Week. — Has Matt? (talk) 13:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I hear "I think you're cute!" I'm listening again to be sure, though. --אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)

I hear "shoes". ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 15:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I think you'e cute (with a chuckle) here. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  16:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I heard "I like your shoes." Must just be me. 7_omε_psilon

Strammy

Just for it to be noted somewhere: Stramy is a nick name for our beloved user Homestramy. Coach Z said: "Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!" and our Stramy did leave for personal reasons. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 14:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

You don't think they're on to us, do you? -shifty eyes- - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

I'll repeat this; it's definitely a coincidence. Thanks for the notice, though, E.L. Cool. I'm sure Homestramy20 will enjoy it. — Lapper (talk) 18:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Panera Bread

mmmm make sure to try their sierra turkey and i.c cappuchino blended ice coffee drink

anyone else ever been?

hmm, my security verify posting coat is deffbo, that gives me a idea for a weightloss to cRAPPY music thingy

It literally took me like five minutes to parse the last sentence above. For those five minutes I was sure it was computer-generated gibberish like the kind you sometimes find in spam. No offense.— InterruptorJones 16:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

"Hope I can find my local..."

Listening to Strong Bad's last line in the e-mail, I keep hearing him saying "Hope I can find my local bunman...", whereas the transcript currently shows "Hope I can find my local bunmaker..." Can anyone else lend their ears and offer their opinion on what he's saying? It was reverted out of this [1] revision, so I just want some sort of consensus before changing th transcript. 63.166.226.115 16:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Def "bunman". - Qermaq - (^T/C)  16:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I had my sound low-ish when I transcribed, so as not to disturb my neighbors. If I made any mistakes, that's the reason. Just defending myself is all. ;) --Jay (Talk) 17:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

J-J-J-Jenny and The Bets

The way Strong bad said "Jenny" reminded me of the song, Benny and The Jets by Elton John. Anybody else think this justifies a real world reference? PolarBoy

Not me, seems a stretch. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  17:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

When I heard him, I was thinking of the song "867-5309 (Jenny)" by Tommy Tutone. Then again, maybe someone who has actually heard that song can confirm or deny it. - Andyroid

Definitely not that song. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

A Million Yards?

Nobody has mentioned that 1 million yards = 3 million feet (1 yard = 3 feet right?) = 568.18 miles (1 mile = 5280 feet). You can take it from here (like by saying at 60 MPH it would take 9 hrs to complete, 90 hrs at 6MPH, 52 mins at speed of sound (at air i think it's 676MPH), and for light... well, 1.89 milliseconds). I'm still on wikivacation though. --Stux 18:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd think SB just called it that in exaggeration. No other character or signage does. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  18:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Is Homestar's bread fixation becoming a running gag?

He not only has held Bread Sing-alongs (in Origins), but has also tried to pass off "Moldy Bread, Guys" as Cheat-cakes (in Do-Over). -SomeoneWhoHasn'tCreatedAnAccontYet

Real-world reference

I believe "Regenerator" is a real-world reference to the low-to-no budget horror film "Re-animator," based off the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This is probably worth a brief reference on the page for this e-mail.

IMDB link to "Re-Animator"

Hi, I've been lurking for many months but this is my first attempt at actually working with Wiki. — Evil Jim (Talk | contribs) 19:24, March 13, 2006 (UTC) (left unsigned)

Dizzy, anyone?

I've always thougth that SB's head looks like good old egg Dizzy (main character of adventure game starting off at 8-bits). He had even boxing floating boxing gloves and shoes (rayman-like, except rayman is much younger). But now when he says that "My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time", I see this as a real-world reference to the Dizzy, who used somersault as jump, which happened all the time. Analytik 20:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I tink it's just a referenceto normal eggs. In fact, that maks it barely a reference at all, since it's really not that specific. — Seriously ^(Talk) 20:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Bosomest of Buddies

Hi, i tried to edit the real-world references to say that the term "bosomest of buddies" comes from the 1980 TV show "Bosom Buddies" starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, and I got it up, but it was soon deleted. Why? It's true!

It's a common phrase, not a reference to anything specific. --DorianGray

Why not a reference to the Cole Porter song? Or - better yet - why not just a use of a common phrase in English, making it not very remarkable after all. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Come on, really. The TV show. It's a reference. The phrase has become common thanks to Tom and Peter.

Really. Look up the song from the show "Anything Goes" by Porter Mame. (Oops, wrong show.) This has been a common phrase for at least a century. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
