	Why is the email different town the only one that mentions Homsar's appearance in that case being in Strong Bad's imagination? Since it's probably valid to assume that Homsar doesn't actually -have- his own TV show, and since Mount Ridesplace doesn't actually exist, shouldn't these receive the same notation, since they're presumably both set in Strong Bad's imagination as well?

		+
		+	I just realized that, in a certain context, Homsar's line from [[for kids]] makes perfect sense.
		+	When the "g" appears on screen, it takes up about one-eighth of the screen (not including the shadow). In terms of whatever else can be shown onscreen at the same time, the "g" does in fact take up a good deal of real estate. (By comparison, so does Homsar himself.)
		+
		+	In this context, Homsar could be talking to whoever designed the graphics (or to the director), saying that the "g" is unnecessarily large. Alternatively, he could be trying to give the audience a truthful glimpse at the difficulties that go into the show's production ("...I'm ''not gonna lie'' to ya...").

	Oh, and your defense of Homsar's speech patterns reminds me a bit of the defence of Innocent Smith in G.K. Chesterton's "Manalive". Homsar seems guilty of word salad (or murder of the English language :3). But when we examine his statements closely, we see he is not breaking the English language. He is merely using it in an uncustomary way. ^.^ GK44[[Special:Contributions/97.121.71.81\|97.121.71.81]] 08:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)		Oh, and your defense of Homsar's speech patterns reminds me a bit of the defence of Innocent Smith in G.K.

		+	== And for that matter ==
		+
		+	I don't take the SBCG4AP translations of Homsar's phrases as word of God (simply because some Telltale folks may have been involved in writing them). I think they might be the most direct way to say what Homsar says (or perhaps Strong Bad's interpretation of it), but I think a lot has been lost in the translation.
		+
		+	'''"AaAaAaAaA, try some caked-on makeup from yesteryear!"'''
		+
		+	"Caked-on makeup" could be the "sacred elemental artifacts" being buried in the ground. (After all, Strong Bad did dig up three of four of the artifacts, and Bubs might have procured that pottery shard from an archaeological excavation.) Yesteryear makes sense.

		+
		+	"Debra", like "dice man" (hey, they both start with "d") is referring to Strong Bad.
		+
		+	"Sign me up for soccer class" might be asking Strong Bad to teach Homsar what the "gibberish" means. This is only speculation, but perhaps Homsar is not good at soccer, and so thus Strong Bad's gibberish would be analogous to it (because he simply didn't get soccer, or this gibberish).
