Picture

Where did this picture of Whatsit come from? Could we instead get a replacement picture that captures Whatsit in the realms of the H*R universe? —BazookaJoe 05:00, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

It's the Whatsit from the Theme Song Video. Homestar Coder 05:49, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Oh! Sure enough. —BazookaJoe 12:55, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Capitalization

Okay. I've seen a few different instances of capitalization here, and its either used as "Whatsit" or "whatsit." I just had someone correct my capitalization, although I see many other instances of it in this article and others. Should it remain capitalized or un-capitalized? ♥ _tee^eff_oh! 22:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Curious: beginning of sentence and "Whatsit All About" aside, when is it capitalized? --Jay (Gobble) 22:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

These sentences:

In narrator, Strong Bad makes a preview for a movie called "Whatsit All About?", which features The Poopsmith with his pile of whatsit.

A picture of Whatsit also appears on the final page of the book in pop-up.

There, and there. I haven't looked at any of the other articles, but those should be checked. ♥ _tee^eff_oh! 22:17, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The first one wasn't capitalized outside of the mock movie title, and the second one is fixed. --Jay (Gobble) 22:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Cool, but is it fixed in all of its appearances in other articles? ♥ _tee^eff_oh! 22:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Whatsit/Crap

Why can't they just call "whatsit" "Crap"?It had a picture of whatsit in pop-up but instead, Strong bad said "Crap Flap" instead of "Whatsit Flap". Can they decide on a name for Whatsit/Crap some time this century?--Gir007 01:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

They used "crap flap" in pop-up because it rhymed, like "ab tab" and "flab tab". Other than that, most of the time, Whatsit is the item, while Crap is just an interjection. --Jay (Gobble) 01:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
