| On Point Kings is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute. |

[edit] The Non-interesting, but Informative, Etymology of "On Point"
What does On Point mean? It's also in that dating game Strong Bad made (Marzipan: "Strong bad is on point"). Does it mean cool? Does it deserve a page of its own?
- I can't tell you for sure what it means, but I can vouch that it pre-dates HR references; there's an NPR program by the same name, and Googling it shows it in connection with various businesses and agencies. So no, page not good. — notstrongorbad 09:18, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- This should help!
- on point adj. [1990s] alert, sharp, aware. [military point, the lead man of a patrol]
- SOURCE: CASSELL'S DICTIONARY OF SLANG, 1998

- "En pointe" (pronounced the same way) is also a ballet term and is honestly what I thought of first. Crystallina 05:18, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] On Point could....
On Point could be a reference to Cedar Point's blog, On Point.
