| - | == Possible reference ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | When Strong Bad throws that record at Strong Sad and a piece gets stuck in his head, I thought it very similar to a scene in the movie Shaun of the Dead in which a record is thrown at a zombie and a very similar thing happens. Think it's enough of a reference to make the page?
| |
| - | :I personally thought it was a reference to an episode of Family Guy when Stewie gets a piece of glass lodged in his forehead. Except ''he'' is the one that crashes into the sharp objects (a glass cabinet), not the other way around. [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 10:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | ::I agree with the Shaun of the Dead reference. I can't imagine any other reason why he'd throw a record rather than something harder at Strong Sad, like a CD case or something. It's what my mind jumped to immediately after I saw it, especially with the triangular piece lodged in Strong Sad's forehead. {{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 15:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

| - | An acute accent, as in intriguéd (which Strong Bad types on the screen in his e-mail, and is pronounced roughly like a long A sound), and a grave accent, as in pleatèd (which is a running gag on the site, and is pronounced roughly like a short E sound) are two entirely different things.

| - | == Textiles ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | I aggree that the thing about calling Tex-Mex a textile needs deleted. It doesn't seem like it was a mistake. Strong Bad has a history of naming a list of 3 or 4 things, and the last one being kinda out of place, as a little joke. (The first one to come to mind is "No running, no diving, no swimming.") Also, and perhaps more importantly, he wasn't naming off textiles. Latex isn't one. We obviously need something about Tex-Mex, but the textile thing is too far fetched.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 03:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | :So we should not, in the process of explaining what tex-mex is, inform the viewer that it is not a cloth we can make clothes out of, which Strong Bad purports? Latex can be used in the manner of a textile - perhaps the term "textile" can be improved upon? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | ::Just saying what Tex-Mex is: "The term tex-mex refers to several things, including a style of cuisine, a style of music, and a railway" suffices to explain that it's not something to wear. I guess, yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if we used a word other than textile, and if we didn't make it sound like Strong Bad made a mistake ('cause he dosen't make 'em!) But still, for the record, my vote it to get rid of that line altogether.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 04:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

| |
