'''[[Some Stupid Turkey]]''' is [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]'s first [[Thanksgiving]] toon that was released on Tuesday, November 27, 2001. [[Strong Bad]] starts this toon with him dressed as a turkey, and begins to sing a Thanksgiving song about a turkey. The song ends with a few of the main characters singing "Go and suck your thumb". [[Homestar Runner]] then says to let them go and partake of their wonderous feast, only to find that it was eaten by [[The King of Town]]. '''[[Some Stupid Turkey|(more...)]]'''

:::What about [[Twenty THANXty Six]]? I have proposed this for four reasons: 1) Some Stupid Turkey is a tad short, whereas 2008's Thanksgiving toon is a bit longer; 2) It's been a long time since we've done ''anything'' related to [[20X6]]; 3) I think we need to do a toon ''not'' from 2001 for once; and 4) We usually do Thanksgiving toons from the previous year (i.e., 2005's [[Fall Float Parade]] in 2006, 2006's [[Let Us Give Tanks!]] in 2007, etc.). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::I should point out that the only reason that we've done the previous year's toon for Thanksgiving is only  because they have become a regular feature in the last few years.  Having said that, though, I have to agree that Some Stupid Turkey is too short, even with the write up, to feature. There's not a whole lot in the [[:Category:Thanksgiving|T'giving category]]; the only other ones that haven't been featured are [[Happy T!]] and [[Limozeen Thanksgiving E-cards]].  [[Happy T!]] is also too short, but if we don't do [[Twenty THANXty Six]], the E-cards might be interesting. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Well, if they keep adding more T'giving toons, maybe we won't have to worry about running out of T'giving articles. Maybe the E-cards could be shown next week? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::I don't think we should have two Thanksgiving-themed FAs, especially since we don't have an inexhaustible supply of them. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:39, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Well, we did have two T'giving-themed FAs last year (the [[colonization]] email and [[Toikey TV]]), so I don't know. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::In retrospect, I don't think that was a good idea and that we should have saved one of those for later. Too late now, but I think we'd best not repeat it this year. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:53, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::Okay, then we won't. It just seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, in keeping with how T'giving toons have been articled in the past, I think we should do [[Twenty THANXty Six]] this year. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::I think that's best, too. There's not a lot of Thanksgiving articles, and this one would clearly make a fine writeup. Stupid Turkey could work in a pinch, like, if we run out of T-giving toons sometime (which we could if TBC take the holiday off a few times), but for now I think we should stick with something more substantial. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:16, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::Yeah, SST can wait. I amm quite partial to <s>Horpy Tor!</s> Happy T!, but I am not really sure about the substance. It really Isn't FA material, because there isn't much to be said! Limozeen or THANKSty would work, but THANKSty could be a bit too soon. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::::Actually, it would be carrying on the "tradition" of having the previous year's T'giving toon be articled (i.e., 2005's T'giving toon in 2006, 2006's in 2007 and 2007's in 2008). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:44, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

For this week, let's do one that seems to have gotten a lot of attention: [[The Movie Theater]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:18, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
:Well it does have a good intro and a decent amount of appearances, so it sounds good, but for reasons untold, can simone produce a write up for me? {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 18:25, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

[[File:The movies.png|left|180px|The movie theater]]
+
-
'''[[The movie theater]]''' is where movies are watched, sometimes by force. [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Pom Pom]] brought [[Coach Z]] here to watch a film about the word "job" in the toon [[A Jorb Well Done]]. Along with that, the theater has also shown films such as Women's Penitentiary Bakesale Nightmare, Fists of Knuckles 1-24, Axe Gun: Legends of the Brain Outener, and Pom Pom's Indie film [[City (comma) State]]. As revealed in [[rated]], It is one of the few theaters that show triple R-rated movies. The theater is featured prominently in the email [[the movies]], where it is revealed that [[Senor Cardgage]] has a job as the ticket-taker. '''[[The movie theater|(more)]]'''

-
:Well, it looks like both articles are good, but we haven't done anything Cheat Commandos since I joined the wiki (far as I know) and we did Words I probably said like 2 weeks ago. Silent Rip works for me. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::I think it might be better to have [[homestarrunner.com]] or [[Timeline of Homestar Runner]] as the FA for this week, since the 6th is the 10 year anniversary of the site.  I do wonder, given TBC's tendencies to make [[Strongest Man In The World|10th]] [[Where My Hat Is At? (toon)|anniversary toons]], if they will do something themselves to note the occasion. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:21, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

It's [[Decemberween]] again! It's here, it's here!  The week before is a minor article.  This would be a good time to take care of the only remaining larger piece of [[Decemberween In July]], [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:That would work, but I think we should do [[Peanuts]]. {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 02:31, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::What about [[A Holiday Greeting]]? Although [[Peanuts]] would be good, too, since it's been a bit more expanded and would probably make good article fodder. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::I like the idea of [[Peanuts]] since it's heavily referenced for the Decemberween toons, and I don't think we've featured an article that is one of the influences for TBC yet. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:50, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

::::Not true. We've done articles on [[Nintendo]] and [[Atari 2600]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::I don't really count the video game articles as an "influence"; stuff like [[Disney]] or [[The Simpsons]] or [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]], which are more directly related to their style of humor and animation.  Video games, while important, are more of a cultural starting point for them. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

And in time for Decemberween, why don't we feature a toon that has been overlooked, [[A Decemberween Pageant]].  I think that is the last of the "older" D'ween toons that hasn't been featured, and it also provides a lot of the mythology of this holiday 55 days after Halloween. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:I think [[The Battle of Strong Badia]] is a ''great'' article. Maybe we should feature that one. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::You don't understand.  For Decemberween, we feature a Decemberween article.  It's a fine article, but pick another week to do it. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 22:03, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::Oh, I didn't notice that that was around Christmas. All right, [[A Decemberween Pageant]] sounds just fine. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:08, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

[[The Field]]. A place that appears in probably half the cartoons on the site. [[User:Jc iindyysgvxc|Jc iindyysgvxc]] 05:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

:We're getting too far ahead again. I'll keep this one up, but please stay within 10 weeks in the future. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::And it's far too short, still. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:46, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::I wonder if it might be expandable. It most certainly is too short (prose-wise) at this point, but it's also certainly an important place. It's something to consider, at least. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::I think that if we can't get the prose we want from the field, then we should try doing the Dangeresque dailies this week. As mentioned before. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 00:40, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::I don't think we should do another set of dailies so soon after the ones we did last week (as of post time). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::I would like to do another set very soon, though. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:12, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Well there IS a 12 week difference... up to concensus though... {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 22:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Well If concensus says no to the dailies and the field, we could do the Battle of Strong Badia. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 22:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

It's been a while since we've featured a Sweet Cuppin' Cakes character, so this week I vote that we feature an article that I hold very near and dear to me, and my new sunglasses. [[The Wheelchair]]! {{User:The Wheelchair/sig}} 23:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:Sure, I guess we can do The Wheelchair. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Since this week is the 6th anniversary of Stinkoman and 20X6, how about something from that universe this week?  [[japanese cartoon]], [[Stinkoman]] and [[1-Up]] have already been featured.  How about the email [[trading cards]] in which they are featured for this week instead? It'll be a while since we've done an email, and [[Trading Cards]] are an interesting running gag on the site, to boot. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::It's actually the 7th anniversary, not the 6th. And [[Pan Pan]], [[Under Construction]] and [[Twenty THANXty Six]] were featured (at least that last one will be this Thanksgiving), too, though. It's just too bad that they have still not yet completed [[Stinkoman 20X6]] or we could do that, too. Anyway, how about doing [[Cheatball]]? That article is long enough, I would think. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:51, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::Yeah, I guess Cheatball could work instead.  I wasn't sure at first if it'd be long enough. Another possibility could be [[20X6 vs. 1936]].  Either one would be fine. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::I don't think it should be one where Stinkoman loses, I defiantly, I mean, Definitely vote Cheatball [[User:McArbys|The McArby!]] 02:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

This week would be [[Trogdor]]'s birthday, so let's do something like that. I'm thinking [[The S is for Sucks Dragon]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:I agree  that it should be Trogdor related, I'd suggest Wormdingler, if we had more to go on, but Wormdingler has showed up only twice, and was only named last trogday, so Ima have to agree on  The S is for sucks dragon. although we could take in a bit of a different direction... like maybe Stinkoman related. [[User:McArbys|The McArby!]] 17:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Yo man, I'm down.  I mean, I [[total|totally]] support S Is For Sucks. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

[[Looking Old]]. Not only is it that email's anniversary, but featuring it this week is a reference to a line from that email. Plus, we haven't yet done any emails from 2005 or 2007, yet we've done at least ''two'' emails from every other year. [[User:Jc iindyysgvxc|Jc iindyysgvxc]] 10:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:I've been thinking that while we should do emails from 2007, I think we should wait until they do the winter Olympics in February. I got an idea in mind for a set of dailies that follow a common theme. In the meantime, how about doing one of a live person for an article. I'm thinking [[Jackie Chapman]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Would you care to elaborate on your masterdly plan for Olympic emails? As it stands, we don't know why you're not keen on [[looking old]] for this week, and of course we all know it's important to explain why you're not going with someone else's suggestion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:23, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::Well, in terms of [[looking old]], I was just thinking that we need to do something from 2005 before anything else, and it's been a while since we've done an article on a live person. Besides, what is the reference to the email's line, anyway? As for the Olympics plan, I was thinking of a full week of the references to [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]] running gag. I was thinking of doing the six emails (165-170) that reference it and close out the week with the [[DNA Evidence|Big Toon]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::I dunno, I think the big toon would easily be worth an entire week, not just a day, and I think the same could be said of some of those emails (in particular, [[strong badathlon]] would be a good feature during the Olympics, though it would fit the Summer Olympics a lot better than the Winter). I don't really think they should be dailies. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

For this week, how about the Strong Bad Email [[geddup noise]]? I kinda picked something from 2005, and a bit out of left field, too. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:34, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm very surprised that [[Characters]], [[Toons]], and [[Games]] haven't been done yet. Maybe we could do one of them? [[User:Jc iindyysgvxc|Jc iindyysgvxc]] 11:34, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:Not one of those currently has a prose intro that is long enough to be a proper featured article, so far as I can see. Also, we're getting out too far once again. The latest week we discuss should be, at most, ten weeks in advance of the current week, and this is eleven weeks out. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:59, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Yes! Once and for all, let's keep this below ten articles before we add any new ones, please? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
