==Easter egg picture==
Do we really need a picture highlighting which wood panel to click on for the Easter egg? It's really not that hard to find. Have we ever done this for any other Easter eggs? If not, it should definitely go. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I dont recall ever seeing one before. In the past, a description has sufficed. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I wouldnt think it would be too important, considering that all you have to do is follow the written directions and, barring that, just hit tab to find all the clickables...I think it just adds clutter -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Gamble?==
Why do people change "gambol" to "gamble"?  Gambol means to frolic or to otherwise leap about, while gamble means to take a risk or to bet on something...as weird as senor is, don't you think gambol makes more sense here?  -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:14, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Really, NEITHER word makes sense there, and "gamble" is more well-known than its homophone. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:21, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Gambol certainly makes more sense than gamble. However, given SC's tendancy toward malaprops he probably *did* say "gamble" instead of "gambol". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::I suppose -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: When Senor says the word, he stresses the second syllable, which leads me to believe that it is "gambol" rather than "gamble." -- [[User:jozabad|jozabad]] 01:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree, I think Senor Malapropped a malaprop back into an appropriate, yet arcane term. He has to keep us on our toes somehow. :) [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 06:19, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: Problem, jozabad. Gamble and gambol are pronounced ''exactly the same way'' - no difference in vowels or stress, just spelling and meaning. Both meanings being entirely useless in this context (he's obviously trying to say "gather".) And his pronunciation is close enough to the homophone. Frankly, it's not that important to me BUT we should reach a consensus and leave the note in one form or another, so we don't keep switching back and forth and back and forth as was happening before. As I said before, I'd prefer it left as "gamble." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:04, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::Well, "Excardon me" is a mixture between "excuse me" and "pardon me" so maybe "gamble" is a mixture between "gather" and "assemble" --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 00:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===Frolic or Bet?===
When Senor Cardgage says "------ around the campfire, children", you can't tell if he's saying "gambol", which means frolicking or playing, or "gamble", which means betting (obviously). I'm leaning more toward "gambol", but please, tell me what you think. The transcript says "gamble", but I think "gambol" is more Senor Cardgage.

How bout phrasing this in a way so that deleting and accepting is possible?  My suggestion:

"Senor Cardgage: Gambol around the campfire, children"

*'''Accept'''.  I think gambol makes more cardgage sense, as he often uses antiquated words in weird context.  Gamble is just random. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:21, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' {{User:phlip/sig}} 02:50, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**Oh, right. All of SC's malaprops are "antiquated" words that aren't just random. Like "left" ("left name"), "lawn" ("home lawn"), "cancel" (part of "free canceltation"), "denominator/wintergreen" (two options for what Cardgage can call himself in [[kind of cool]] - these are so random, I have no idea WHAT he's really trying to say!), and maybe some others I missed. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:57, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
* Cardgage uses words that don't have specific meanings. So I don't think this should be an issue of definition, but rather enunciation. And it sounds to me like he is pronouncing it with an "ol". So '''accept''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
** Editing previous vote due to misreading: There is ''no difference'' between the proper pronunciations of "gamble" and "gambol" and it doesn't sounds to me like Cardgage is messing with the pronunciation to encourage one word over the other. So pronunciation isn't the clue we need. Neither is really the obvious word ("gather") and both are verbs so meaning is out. Only difference between the two words left is spelling - and "gamble" is by far the more common word. So I vote '''Gamble.''' But as long as it doesn't keep getting shifted back and forth and back and forth, I won't care too much. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:49, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*To quote the KOC transcript: "I'd say some cool phrase that's almost one word and not quite another." To me, it sounds like he is pronouncing it like "gambowl". [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Three things here:''' First, this isn't a fun fact; it doesn't belong on this page. This discussion should be moved to the relevant [[Talk:Senorial Day|talk page]]. Second, the whole phrase is ambiguous enough that, regardless of what we decide to put in the main text, a footnote with the other spelling should be put at the bottom of the transcript, [[Strong_Bad_is_in_Jail_Cartoon#Footnotes|like we did here]] in "Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon". Third, I think it's "gamble". &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Gamble.''' Yes, "gambol" makes sense. That's exactly the reason why I'm voting for "gamble". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 23:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*"Excardon me" is a mixture between "excuse me" and "pardon me" so maybe "gamble" is a mixture between "gather" and "assemble" --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 00:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**Just a '''second.''' - [[User:aaronak|aaronak]] 11:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*I vote '''gamble''' that sounds more Senor Cardgage [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]
*I checked on m-w.com and it is '''"gambol"''', meaning "to frolic" or "to play". [[User: James Craven]] 7:35 PM EDT June 12 2005.
**Er, we know what "gambol" ''means''. But I don't believe that's what Senor Cardgage is actually saying. He's saying "gamble" and messing it up. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:14, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*I vote '''gambol''' because it seems more like a word Senor Cardgage would use, given his apparent love for archaic or depreciated terms.
*I vote '''gambol''' because '''gamble''' isn't funny, while '''gambol''' definitely is. '''Gambol''' is just the kind of weird antiquated word that Senor Cardgage would say. However, I think its hard to say anyway, since Strong Bad says that Senor Cardgage always says words that you're not sure which of two words he is saying, which is exactly the case here.

==On the SWF==

I saw two Homestar Runners and one had a mustache. That does solve one mystery of why there were two, but, It starts are new mystery. Who is the Second Homestar Runner with the Mustache? -[[User:mitchell00|mitchell00]] 08:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Maybe one is the "evil" Homestar Runner from a [[Wikipedia:Evil_twin|mirror universe]]. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:13, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: You know, I once sent Strong Bad an email about what life would be like in a mirror universe. I always sorta imagined that it would start with "Strong Good" reading the email on his fancy new computer, getting my name and the name of my town perfect, and not knowing how to answer it (because he has no confidence and believes that he has no imagination) he asks some of the other anti-characters. Then, at the last minute, it cuts to Strong Bad at his computer, making fun of my name and town and talking as though the entire rest of the email was the answer to the question. It never happened, of course, but it's something I always thought would be cool. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Don't or It Won't?==
I don't hear the necessary vowel sound for "It won't be here forever" - and although "Don't" doesn't make any sense contextually, Senor Cardgage is known for saying things like that. Thoughts? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I've listened to it many times, and it took me a long time to decide between "don't" and "it won't", but I think "it won't" is there, just slurred. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: I just listened with the volume turned up, and I changed my mind - you're right here. I'll still defend "left name". :p --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Bubba daddy==
I'm also leery about "Bubba daddy" as opposed to "papa daddy". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I hear an "F" sound: "Fubba Daddy". That's what I had in my transcript (you were right about my having one ready beforehand. I had been trying to upload it since midnight MDT, and you apparently beat me to the punch. Scalawag). :) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==My left name==
I know Senor Cardgage would probably say "my ''left'' name", but I'm not sure he doesn't say the more normal "my ''last'' name". &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: It's not just me - several people I talked to online agreed that it was "left", and the person who changed it back to "left" wasn't me. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:32, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, I can hear "left". Mostly. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:08, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*It's a joke, people. For example, if my name was John Doe, my left name would be John. My right name, Doe. It's just a clever way to say first name. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 19:36, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Gosh! It's a *joke*? Oh my stars and garters! I did *NOT* realize that. Oy. -- 19:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: Any dang ways, it doesn't have to map to an actual part of your name for Senor to say it. He would just as easily have said it was his "front name" or "outer name" if there wasn't a malaprop to play on like "oh, I would give my left arm to do blah blah". It definately wasn't "last name".

==List of places==
Do items in the list of places have to be linked? Shouldn't Balding Man's living room be in the list? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Bubs the Concession Stand==
Bubs' last name could be concession stand, though we wouldn't trust him anyways... Anybody remember the SBEmail pictures from Pay-Plus? The bottom one had SB w/Concession Stand Bubs.

Although, I think others will agree Bubs in a devil suit explains a lot.

Yeah, besides this would make his last name just "Stand".. if you asume spaces on the ID card seperate names. "Concession" is just his left name.

==American Football?==
I'm not sure I understand why we need to note FOOTBALL as AMERICAN FOOTBALL on an AMERICAN site. I guess it's just me, but it just "sounds" (reads?) wrong! The wikipedia links point to the correct locations to clarify meaning. Would you expect a Euro-type site to change a "football" reference to "soccer" just to cater to us? I wouldn't. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:We shouldn't be so Americentric. H*R may be an American site, but wikis are not. The fact that "football" can mean more than one thing justifies the distinction. Besides, it's only called an "American football" on the first reference. The ''twelve'' other times it's mentioned, it's just called "the football," or "the ball." Down in the Fun Facts, the link is to the sport, not the ball itself, so that's a separate first reference. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Blegh. It just sounds so WRONG. Alonzo Stagg is rolling in his grave at the mere mention. However, I do see your point about it being mentioned only once. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::I guess I had that Gatorade commercial where one of the lines is "football is football, unless it's football" (showing football, rugby, and soccer) in mind when I helped with the transcript. Then, after reading the [[Wikipedia:Football|Wikipedia article]], to me it sounded arrogant, incomplete, non-NPOV, and un-wiki-like to call it just "football" instead of "American fooball". (I'm sure Stagg was already rolling because of the first attempt at instant replay, anyway.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:38, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Well to me, "a football" is absolutely a spherical object kicked around by troglodytes. American Football is unambiguous, so keep that term.

:I agree. It's not like the fact that the right Homestar's mouth isn't moving, which is not an egg. Something missing outside the frame = laziness, something unnecessarily added outside the frame = egg. {{User:phlip/sig}} 06:05, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===Old Gron Sad voice? (DECLINED)===
Strong Sad seems to be using an older style of his voice in his easter egg. When he says "Somebody hit me on the slant," his voice is normal again.

*'''Decline.''' Although I noticed this, it's not worth mentioning. In fact I've noticed that Strong Sad's voice has changed quite a bit lately.

===Lurking around (ACCEPTED)===
Strong Sad says: "Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night." The "lurk" is a reference to [[garage sale]], where Strong Sad is called a Lurker by Strong Bad.
*'''Accept''' For Pete's sake, of COURSE this is a reference. 1. Despite what [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] says, it WAS Strong Sad that was the Lurker. 2. Doesn't "lurk" sound more than just a LITTLE awkward in that sentence if it's not a reference? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:45, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**Lurk is just a word, it could very easily be a coincidence. Especially since it is a very commonly used word. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*** Guess again. There IS no such noun as "lurk." Verb, perhaps, but that's not how SS is using it. And SS isn't SB or SC (known for their malaprops.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:04, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**Okay then, name one time before Garage Sale where TBC said lurk and not in reference to Strong Sad. And the above votes are right: Lurk as used in the egg doesn't make any sense. Just say the following sentance out loud: I'm going out for a lurk. Why use lurk when "walk" or "amble" or any similiar word would have worked? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***Ever heard of alliteration? Yes, well done, "lonely", "lurk" and "lovely" DO all start with the letter L! Have a brownie!
*'''Accept''' But did anyone else catch that the fact says Strong Sad is called a lurker by himself? [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]
**'''Seconded with modifacation''': Agreed with Pardack.  [[User:James Craven|James Craven]] 6:43 PM,  June 2 2005 (EDT)
**Fixxored. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline.''' Going against the flow here, but it seems to me that the title "lurker" as used in [[garage sale]] refers specifically to behavior in garage sales, and is not something that can be done alone at night. It's the same word, but not every repetition of a word is a reference. --[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 13:42, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**I'll say it again: Strong Sad is using the word improperly ("lurk" is a verb, not a noun), and Strong Sad isn't a character known for doing that. Why, then, was the word used if not referring to [[garage sale]]? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***What are you banging on about? If you can say you're going for a swim, or you're going for a walk, or you're going for a jog, why can't you say you're going for a lurk? It's just coincidence. Doesn't "lurk" sound like the sort of word SS would use? '''DECLININATED'''. [[User:82.43.178.225|82.43.178.225]] 20:09, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**** No, it doesn't. And look it up. Swim, walk, and jog can all be nouns. According to my dictionary, lurk can't. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:23, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***** Okay, to you it doesn't, but to everybody else it does. And words get added to dictionaries when they become heavily used. That's why words like "asbo" which wouldn't normally be in a dictionary now are.
***** ''''Comment''' Well considering the latest trend of bastardizing the english language by "verbing" nouns (I interfaced the robot) and "nouning" verbs it might not really be that big of a deal for TBC.  On the other hand Strong Sad seems like the type to know that "lurk" is a verb. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

*'''Accept.''' Pretty clear, given 1. association with SS; 2. timely appearance after garage sale; and 3. intentional grammatical error. -[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
