From Homestar Runner Wiki
Hey, this is Lapper here, a.k.a Alex. Although I'm not as active here at the wiki as I probably should be, where you can really see me in action at the Gmail This! blog. Homestar Runner has been a large intrest of mine for a long time, and I hope to see that it keeps doing as well as this wiki is. I hope to contribute much more now than ever before.

Science, again! I said science, again!
I was turned on to Homestar at the same time the stunt double SBemail came out, around July 2003. It was then that I first saw Homestar at a local Science Center's Internet station, saw Strong Bad do all of his own stunts, and I was hooked immediately. Soon after, I showed my younger sister and we became superfans, patrolling the site to look for new things, and new eggs.
No, I'm pretty sure it was dot wiki.
Around late 2004, I discovered the Homestar Wiki through a Google search some forgotten Saturday morning. I was amazed with how the wiki knew what was on the Homestar site before even I did. The first page I went to on the wiki was the Running Gags page. Within a few days, the small band of sysops grew with sysop elections. I remember chuckling when The Paper was unsure whether he could nominate himself, but now I realize how valuable all the sysops are to the wiki.
What's the best thing you've ever seen; done; eaten?
Well, I don't know about that, but how about these substitues?
Memories (seen)
- Sysop elections (see above)
- The new main page design
- The super-cool Strong Bad Email CSS design. It was a welcome change from the normal blue dotted edge box.
- Finally figuring out where the name InterruptorJones came from.
- Discovering the Fanstuff wiki.
- Finding the Homestar All Your Base toon.
Contributions (done)
I really haven't contributed a bunch to the wiki, but I work hard at my blog. Some of my favorite posts are listed below.
- Introduction - This is the post to be at is you've never heard of Gmail This!.

- Google quotables - This post takes a break from a long trend of news and gives some comic relief.

- Google is down - Google's server flickered on and off repeatedly for no apparent reason.

The wiki is a really fun and engaging thing to edit and view, but it isn't the only thing in my life. Here are some of my non Homestar related intrests and activities.
Organizations and Clubs
- Boy scouts. I'm so close to Eagle that i'm really just procrasinating.
- Taekwondo. It's a martial art in case you didn't know. I've been training for five years and I've been a black belt for two and a half.
- Web design. HTML rocks. I've been coding for three years and I'm trying to learn Flash.
- After school clubs. These include:
- SADD: Students Against Destructive Desicions. A club about the dangers of alcohol and drugs.
- TREND: An international general community service club.
- JSU: Jewish Student Union. Community service benefiting temples and other Jewish houses of worship.
- International Club: A mix of the Spanish, French, and Germen clubs at our school. We raise money through fundraisers to sponser poor foreign children.
- USY: An evening Jewish teen organization. Its really fun, we get to like, come in pajamas and eat candy while doing stuff for the community.
TV Shows
If you notice, I have really shallow intrests in TV. Except for Ruroni Kenshin. Best show of all time! Then it got canceled.
- Simpsons
- Family Guy
- American Dad!
- Law and Order
- Ruroni Kenshin
- One Piece
- South Park
I've got to go. . . place. . .
