Easter egg: Homestar vs Homestar

I will handle the...getting of the screenshot...of the Easter Egg poster. --Kiwi 21:54, 29 Jan 2007 (UTC)

Ya know, I figured that Egg out first, you guys just beat me to the point. Derrickee3 02:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It's the desperate, ruthless life of a wiki in turmoil, when there is a new email/toon waiting to be known... --Addict 2006 03:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The Big Space

Is there any way we can fix that big space under "Fixed Goofs"? I HATE it. TheYellowDart—(t/c)

What big space?—Shwoo 03:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hm, must be this monitor... does anybody see it? TheYellowDart—(t/c)

Looks normal to me... Trey56 03:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay then, it has to be my monitor. Pluus I'm editing from my usual computer. All right, don't worry about it, then. TheYellowDart—(t/c) I'm telling you, it's the pudding pops!!

Incidentally, your monitor would not cause a space anywhere, unless it was extremely broken. Different browsers might, though. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Screen resolutions might, though. But I see no big space no matter how small I make my browser window. Loafing 03:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, now I'm on my Windows XP again. It looks better. TheYellowDart—(t/c)

Transcript

A couple things I couldn't quite catch, such as Strong Mad's line, and the song Homestar sings. So if anyone else could get that, that'd be great. — DBK! 03:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like "Just take those old glasses off the shelf." - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Shwoo already added that, Q ;-) Loafing 03:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

So I noticed! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, I wasn't sure about the PBTC Strong Bad's line, I'm not sure if I'm hearing 'Iconic'. — DBK! 03:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like it to me. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

To me as well. Loafing 03:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Homestar's stance

Anyone else think that homestar's foot-to-foot stance as he beats himself up is eerily similar to the dancing headless homestar at the seek bar found end end of mile? just compare it to Image:headlessdance.gif and you'll see what I mean. Dr. Clash 03:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it eerie (frightening without being actually threatening) but it is similar. However, fighters are often characterized as "dancing" so perhaps this is merely appropriate foot movement to avoid an attack from the... opponent... wow, maybe this is eerie. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  04:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Camera

When the "whatsit" is thrown after The Cheat lands, it seems that the whatsit lands vertically on a lens of some sort. Where would this information go? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 04:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if it needs to get a special mention at all. It's apparent in the shot, and could be simply mentioned in the transcript. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  04:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

"Hello chocolate cake!" EEW!

It's the desperate, ruthless life of a wiki in turmoil

Okay, I do NOT want a repeat of last week's events of stress outs. Everything in the transcript is okay as it is unless there's some changes to the display and all. --Heading off to watch Heroes now, Addict 2006 05:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Now come on, if there were no disputes over the transcript, where would all the fun be? :-) Seriously, though, we can't prevent transcript disputes. The closest we could do would be to ask Matt to use really clear diction all the time, and I don't know that he'd feel like implementing that just for us. Heimstern Läufer 05:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Inconsistency!

People have been referring to it as "badlathon" rather than "badathlon". What's wrong? --Addict 2006 06:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess you're simply the first one to notice ;-) Loafing 06:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, i think all those errors are mine, I'll fix them. My problem is that the first time I used it wrong, and show preview gave a blue link because the redirect existed :\ Whoops. Trey56 06:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, since Homestar is beating himself up, shouldnt he have an even number of points? (score * 2)? I assume thats where his advantage comes from. csours 15:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

How do you figure? He gets the same number of points for beating himself up and subsequently being beaten up? I doubt it works that way, and even if it does, that's reading pretty far into it. He wins because he has an intimate knowledge of Homestar's weak points. --Jay (Talk) 16:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

because the general assumption in sports is that there is more than one party, and each party is awarded points. In this case each party would be Homestar. So when Homestar is awarded his points, he gets them as the party of the first part, and as the party of the second part. in a cartoon world, obviously rules need not apply. also, because its funny. csours 17:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
