single deuce: /* What Else, You Ask? */

==The Single Deuce==
Ah, Pom Pom likes the single deuce. 
[[Image:Single Deuce.png|thumb|left|80px|What Pom Pom Likes]]
And so do I.

Hey there, I'm '''single deuce'''.
I'm the only banker I know that's even ''heard'' of H*R.
(They can be kinda uptight, and don't watch many cartoons)

My wife doesn't understand why I watch H*R, much less why I '''must''' edit a fan page for it.

She '''''really''''' doesn't get [[Homsar]].

But I love her anyway.
 

== She's Here!! ==
My daughter, Audrey Jane was born Thursday, August 11 at 3:55 EDT!!
One week overdue!
She is perfect & she & mom are doing great!!

== Homestar & HomestarWiki Stuff ==
Here on the wiki, you can usually find me at the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page, lording my vote over the sometimes absurd, sometimes laughable, always debatable STUFF.

== What Else, You Ask? ==
I'm going to start a project for my just born daughter called '' three-sixty-five'' where I'll take her picture every day for her first year. If I can keep that up for a year, I'll try to take one every day for her second year, and so on. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] had a cool idea of making a time-lapse video of all the pictures. Thanks! Now, I just need a subject....

single deuce: /* Baby */Thanks all!

Ah, the single deuce.
Least of all the deuceses.
Smallest of all the Talk pages.

==Picture for a year==
I like that idea. I want to do that myself when I have kids. If you framed her approximately the same from day to day, when she's eighteen you could make a time-lapse video from all the still shots (assuming you're shooting digital). That would rock! Let's see, 365.25 pictures a year, 18 years... that's about 6,574 pictures. At 30 frames per second, that's about a 3-min-36-sec video. If that's too long, using just one picture from each week would yield a nice, 30-second video. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:05, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks for your msg, the time lapse video is an awesome idea, hadn't even occured to me! I would love to take them once a day for years & years. I saw a photoblog where a guy took a pic of himself every day starting on his 30th birthday. He has been going for 4 years or something crazy like that. My concern is that I'm really good at ''starting'' projects, have a hard time completing them sometimes. '''But''', with a new baby you take lotsa pics, so I'm hoping I can stay dedicated. Any thoughts? BTW, I <3 the new STUFF layout, thanks for all your hard work there! [[User:single deuce|single deuce]] 04:18, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Maybe you could make it a specific part of your daily routine, like right when she gets up or before you go to work or something. I'm not very disciplined, and I don't have any children, so that's all the advice I got. Thanks for your kind words on the new STUFF format. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:39, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Many combolations! {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}} 01:13, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)�

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Drape it over your aaaaaaarms, step out in styyyyyle, Strong Bad Emaaaaaaail... ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: records</div>
dear strong bad, 
i was wondering if you were in the record book. if so, 
what for? 
nathan, tx</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "tx" as "Tee-Ex", as in the individual letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oooh, the Nathan TX! That has, like, way four more cylinders than the standard Nathan. Better Blue Book value, too. I can't remember if I'm in the record book or not. Seems like I should be. Let's take a look. A book-look!

''{Cut to a table. Strong Bad places "THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS The Book!" on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see what we got in here.

''{He opens the book to page 42. The page shows a picture of a really dirty Coach Z with an afro and moustache, and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Longest Showerless Streak 65 Days, 3 Hours, 42 Minutes: COACH Z."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sixty-five days?! That's ''way'' outdated! I'm pretty sure he's surpassed that one by several fortnights at this point.

''{Turns to page 116. This page shows young Strong Bad in a diaper and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Dirtiest Diapey, Very, Very Dirty: LIL' STRONG BAD."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape— Whoa! ''{throws eggs, bacon, and coffee on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee eggs bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.

''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, humming softly and holding a magnifying glass and writing on grains of rice. His face is slightly magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of basmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record!

''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!

''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker sitting near the pile. The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!

''{The King seems to hiccup three times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?

''{The King "hiccups" again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!

''{Another buzzer, another page that reads "Chapter 3 - Disgusting Eating/Old Person Records, Least Healthiest (Man?): The King of Town." The King "hiccups" again.}''

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field on his soapbox, which now reads "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you call a redneck, with no teeth, that watches stock car racing all day? Ba-ha-ha-haaa! Man, they do not wear shirts!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with gum on his face. Music starts.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for it!

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm just me! Can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

''{Homestar pops up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does a redneck man call a dead possum, lyin' in the middle of the road? Ba-ha-ha-haa! Probably sushi!

''{An unseen audience groans.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I think we're just about done here. Strong Mad set the record ''{A page of the book that reads "Chapter 2 - Special Records, Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube... By Strong Mad (Just One!): Strong Mad." The picture shows Strong Mad holding his tube.}'' for Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube...By Strong Mad. ''{Another page, "Chapter 11 - Records of Smell/Track and Field, Pole Vault, 20 ft. 1.5 in.: Marzipan" appears. This one has no picture, and instead there is a black box that reads "Suprisingly, No Photo Available."}'' Marzipan set the World Record for the pole vault. And Bubs won Cutest Couple. ''{Yet another page, this one reading "Chapter 9 - Superlatives, Cutest Couple: Bubs" with a picture of Bubs (and no one else) trying to look cute.}'' Oh, wait, I forgot about me. I ''gots'' to get in this record book somehow. I'll get the record for...

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing nearby.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! "Most rectangular mouth?!" My mouth can be round!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a bunch of bull ''{making his mouth as round as possible}'' hooOOoooOOoOOOOOoOOOOOOOeeOOOoOOOO—

''{A buzzer is heard, followed by a page appears that reads "Chapter 7 - Saying Words For A Long Time Records, Longest 'Bull Honkey', 13.4 Seconds: The Human Strong Bad." The picture shows Strong Bad in the same position he was just seen in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —nkey. Bull honkey.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Instead of the normal Back button, Count Longardeaux's image has a speech bubble reading "Back" in its place.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Nathan TX Easter Egg.PNG|thumb|The Nathan TX]]
*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on notebook paper.
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX," which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labelled "built-in smoke" (pointing to its exhaust), "three front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt.
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second redneck joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardness, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Remarks===
*Little Strong Bad is referred to as "Lil' Strong Bad" in the record book, rather than with the proper abbrevation "Li'l."
*As of July 25, 2005, the women's world record for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. The men's world record was 20 ft, 1.75 in.
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Bull Honkey" for 10.8 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo– part lasts for 8.1 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to The Paper coming down is 13.4 seconds.

===Goofs===
*Count Longardeaux's book apparently has two chapter sevens — one for "Records of Loneliness" and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."
*Even after the King of Town inhales the saltshaker, the place on the table where it sat can still be clicked for the easter egg.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z was seen with an afro and mustache in [[stand-up]].
*The salt shaker the King of Town is seen eating from is from [[Meet Marshie]].
*"You got-a some hiccups?" is the same line Strong Bad used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] when The Cheat got the hiccups.
*The [[Soap Box]] Homestar stands on has been seen before in [[fingers]] and [[army]], with labels reading 11 and 12 respectively (in this email it reads 13).
*The music played while Homsar hops on one foot is from his [[Homsar# Character Video Transcript|character video]].

===Real-World References===
*"Blue Book" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Kelley Blue Book|Kelley Blue Book]], a resource book for people who want to buy or sell their used cars. When discussing the price of a used car, people will often check the Blue Book for the car's value.

single deuce: /* Splitting Fun Facts */ spelling

== REALLY External Links? ==
I can't find anything about this in the user guide.. but you know in the external links section of writeups, and in other places, how it puts that icon after the link (a blue box with an arow coming out)? To me, that essentially says "The link will open up in a new window" as well as "The link goes offsite". I've seen many websites (including every website I've built.. [http://www.lightsecond.com lightsecond.com], [http://www.bend.com bend.com]) that have the convention that if the link goes offsite, it should do so in a new window. Can/should we do the same here? 
[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 20:47, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I'm voting against it. Opening a link in a new window is almost pretentious, as if the site you are on should have the power to not let you leave. Modern browsers like Firefox will let you open a link in a new tab when you want to go elsewhere by middle-clicking your mouse, and users are used to doing that when they want to stay on the current site. Furthermore, Firefox by default doesn't open new window links in new tabs, which annoys me to no end. I would say that an offsite link should behave like a normal link, so as not to confuse the user, and that opening a link in a new window should be a perogative of a web application that has a good reason for not taking you offsite. An example of this would be Hotmail, which opens links in a new window to keep you logged in unless you explicity log out. Most users of this site won't be logged in, and they'll be expecting the wiki to behave like like a normal website. So I saw leave it the way it is, and let the user control where his links pop up. If the icon is confusing, change the icon. [[User:Render|Render]]
What about if it's a logged-in-user user preference? And of course this all pre-supposes that such fancies are possible in MediaWiki, which I dunno :) Anyway I have yet to understand tabs since they always open underneath the current page.. they make me think of icky popunders. (Do you know of any good tabbed-browsing-for-dummies like faq on the 'net? I'd read that ;) 
[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 22:21, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)
:User-configurable preferences are always good. Any admins know if this is possible in MediaWiki without a major overhaul? (As for tabs, I suppose it's just one of those things that just sort of grows on you. I like the pop-under effect because it lets me open interesting links for deferred viewing while I continue reading the page I'm on.) [[User:Render|Render]]

== Bold Punctuation? ==

I like how this is coming along, Jones. One question, though: haven't we always placed the colon outside the bold tags, as in "'''THE CHEAT''':"? I guess I don't mind it either way, as long as we are adhering to a standard, but are there rules to this sort of thing? I remember being taught in school that punctuation should never be bold. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:43, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

:Er, I thought we did it the other way around. And since the colon is part of the character "declaration" (rather than part of the dialogue), it seems more natural to have it bold as well. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 10:00, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

::Okay, I've been looking around the web (but [[User:Tom|Tom]] is better at Googling than I am) and I can't find anything about whether or not punctuation should be bold. I think it looks more consistent to have the colon in bold. I just wanted to be sure that was the right thing. Carry on. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:26, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)
:::I've always bolded the colon. [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]
:Think about it the inverse way. What if you were being asked to bold the dialog instead of the character name? Would you then bold the colon as well? The colon would still have a space before the dialog started so that would look pretty silly: "THE CHEAT''': Meh!'''". so I think you should do with the colon what you do with the character name, not what you do with the dialog. :)
:[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 20:19, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

== Cast (in order of appearance) vs Featuring/Features ==

I was thinking, for pages for things like early Strong Bad Emails and anything else where only one character appears, it seems kind of redundant to add the "in order of appearance" part since only one character appears. For SBemail#1, I just put "Cast" but even this seems a bit improper as a cast is generally referring to "The actors in a play, movie, or other theatrical presentation," not just one actor. I thought "Featuring" or something like that would be more appropriate... I feel like I'm rambling. [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

:I guess I don't have an opinion on this one. Certainly "(in order of appearance) is superflouous for one-character toons, but beyond that I don't much care. Anybody else? -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 11:41, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

::To me, "Featuring" would make the most sense for one-character toons [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

:::Yeah, for a one character toon I like the word "Featuring". --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:55, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

::::But what about the meaning of the word "featuring"? Didn't [[cheatday]] feature The Cheat? I'd think using that word for some emails and "cast" for others would be misleading. Or at the very least, confusing. I'm thinking that leaving off the "in order of appearance" for toons with only one character would work well enough. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:24, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)
:I'm with Tom on this. Brevity good, "featuring" bad ;) I know on albums and song titles they say "song, by Rapper, feat. other guys".. but it isn't feat. Rapper. I'm also selfishly hoping the word "featuring" can be ostricised for long enough to easily convert things.
:A quick look at a thesaurus suggests to me we could say "Starring: Strong Bad" but I'd also listen to other bright idears

== SB email reference. ==

I have been using the following styles when referencing a Strong Bad Email depending on the context.

<pre>in the email "[[the facts]]"</pre>

<pre> in the Strong Bad Email: [[the facts]] </pre>

<pre>==Complete Filmography==
* Email: [[duck pond]]</pre>

My goal is to make it clear that we are refering to the title of something.
Otherwise one could get a sentance like,

[[Pom Pom]] kicked [[Strong Bad]] in the head in [[pom pom (email) | Pom Pom]].

Not clear at all. Should this reference be standardized?
-[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 11:47, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

:It wouldn't hurt to standardize it since I see all sorts of different usages all over. However, I tend to put the quotation marks inside the link like this: <nowiki>[[the facts|"the facts"]]</nowiki>, which yields [[the facts|"the facts"]]. Looks better to me, but I'd like to hear others' opinions. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 11:54, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

::I don't think having the leading "Strong Bad Email" is needed. But that's me. What about readers who don't know the emails? But then, if we started putting "in the email, [[sibbie]]", would we also need to start using that for toons and shorts as well, as in "in the toon, [[Where's The Cheat?]]" and "in the short [[Experimental Film]]"? Hmm. I'd also like to hear some other' input.
::Though I do like having the Filmography listings standardized. Very good. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:34, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

:::I will third the opinion that quotes should be around the title of a toon or email when it is being used in a sentence (as opposed to a bulleted list of related items such as that found on the SBEmail page). I'm not sure which I like better. Putting them outside the link would be easier on my poor typing finders, but putting them inside the link does look nicer. Just my two cents for what it's worth. Should we start a decision poll on the Forum? Not sure we need the leading "in the email, 'whatever'". I think we can just say, "in [[the facts|'the facts']]." As long as it's in quotes you know it's a toon or an email as opposed to it being a character as in Drhaggis' example. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 12:41, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

::For me, having the quotes in the brackets is unnecessary piping. We should also be adding quotes around unlinked toon titles. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 15:02, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

== Since when do we not transcribe easter eggs? ==
I personally think easter eggs ''should'' be transcribed. We can't hardly bill ourselves as a definitive knowledge-base of all things Homestar if we don't have transcripts of the easter eggs. Yes, it would ruin the surprise, but so does everything else on our site! The whole reason for a transcript is for people to understand what the characters are saying. If I can't make out what Strong Sad is saying in some-such easter egg, I'd like to be able to find it on the site and read what other people think/know he's saying. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 13:37, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

:Okay, fair enough. So we need a standard for transcribing them. Any ideas? -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 13:50, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::I liked having the short transcript under the bulleted item, but that does get bulky. Let me play around with some ideas and get back to you. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 14:24, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

:::I took this claim against transcription of EE, was for cases when the egg would be detailed on another page. Such as in the case of a game, or the introduction of another characeter. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 19:02, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::::I thought we always did transcribe them. And the unwritten rule has always been this: If the egg is "clickable", that is, the user has to do something to cause the egg, it goes in the "Easter Egg" section. If the egg does not require any action on the part of the user, besides them just sitting in front of their computer a little longer, it goes in the Transcript. I'm pretty sure that's what everybody does anyway, but I just want to make it clear. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:08, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::What about creating subheadings (i.e. <tt><nowiki>===cheatsa===</nowiki></tt>) before each easter egg transcript in the Easter Eggs section? That would make things clearer. (I'm thinking something like:)

''{Homestar is laying on the ground again.}''

'''HOMESTAR''': Tenderfoot, can you help advise me on my future?
</pre>

Anybody with me? --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 11:17, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Format for Lyrics ==

Song lyrics are inconsistently styled throughout the site. I propose that we embed lyrics in <pre> tags, so that they show up inside of a box the same way that the transcribed text of the Strong Bad emails do. Thoughts? [[User:Render|Render]]
:Seconded. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
::Seconded. -[[User:flatluigi|flatluigi]]

== Forward references ==

[[dragon]] has a link to [[guitar]]. Should [[guitar]] have a link to [[dragon]]?
:Chronology on the official site shouldn't affect what can link to what in the wiki. If a link to a future email is interesting and relevant, I don't see why it shouldn't be included. [[User:Render|Render]]

== Category pages ==

Currently Category pages, such as [[:Category:Strong Bad Email]] or [[:Category:1936]] only contain text such as "These articles are all Strong Bad Emails.", and all the substance on that topic is contained in a separate page. Would it make more sense to move all of the substance to the Category page, and turn the actual [[Strong Bad Email]] or [[1936]] page into a mere redirect to the Category? Once and Only Once etc, since it would also provide the listing of everything in the Category underneath. -- [[User:thejesterx|thejesterx]] 21:47, 6 Oct 2004 (MST)

:No, I don't think so. The Strong Bad Email page has a lot of information that wouldn't fit in the category page, and it's a lot easier to link to a regular page (<nowiki>[[Strong Bad Email]] vs. [[:Category:Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Email]]) than a category. Categories should just be categories, not articles. ~~~

</nowiki>

== Character pictures ==

Now we use thumbnails for toon screenshots - should we do the same for character images? I assume we should, but I thought I'd better verify since it's not made clear anywhere. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:'''EDIT:''' According to the projects page (drawn to my attention by [[User:spblat|spblat]]), "we need to comb the entire wiki changing full-sized images to thumbnails". This pretty much answers my question. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

== Easter Egg Transcribing Part 2 ==

OK, since I've heard conflicting ideas on the wiki on whether or not Easter Eggs should be transcribed or not, can we finally get some sort of official, definitive yes/no on this? There's both the discussion on this page, the actual Standards page itself, and the discussion page for [[extra plug]] to take into consideration as to my confusion concerning it. I'm asking about this since, while I took the conversation on this page and in [[extra plug]] to mean Easter Eggs are expected to be transcribed now, some Easter Egg transcriptions are now being removed (see, for example, [[Where the Crap Are We?]].) --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 12:00, 18 Oct 2004 (MST)
:This site aims to preserve so much other minutiae about Homestar Runner that I can’t imagine where the policy to not transcribe easter eggs came from. Are we trying to reduce spoilers? In that case, all of the transcripts are also inappropriate. I say we transcribe eggs in the easter eggs section where they are clearly marked and can be skipped by those who want to discover them on their own. [[User:Render|Render]]

:I was the one who deleted the Where the Crap Are We? egg transcript. I've probably removed a couple of others as well, because I wasn't aware that we ''should'' be transcribing eggs. Sorry about that. (I assume we ''are'' now giving egg transcripts?) --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

::Yes, we are now transcribing easter eggs. I believe I caused the confusion. Sorry 'bout that. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

::FYI: In the other "Easter Egg Transcribing" section, I proposed a format to transcribe easter eggs with in order to reduce clutter. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 11:21, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Thumbnails vs full-size images? ==

I read [[HRWiki:Projects|here]] that we should be focused on using thumbnails instead of full size images. I've been doing this on some, but I don't want to go nuts before I know I'm not messing things up. Are there any cases where full size screenshots [[Homsar Main Page|(like this)]] should be preserved? -- [[User:spblat|spblat]] 7:13 PM 23 Oct 2004 (later) foo. Answered my own question. looks like full speed ahead--the standards page is quite clear on this.

== Places ==

Should we start adding "'''Places (in order of apperance)'''" on toon pages? I think it would be helpful to new-comers, as well as everyone else. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

== Wikilinks in transcript dialogue ==

:''There should never be links in dialogue or email sections.''

I'm not so sure about this rule. Certainly we shouldn't create links willy-nilly. But when Strong Bad asks, "Did the [[Wikipedia:quadratic formula|quadratic formula]] explode?", it'd be nice to just link the words "quadratic formula" than to have to propose a whole fun fact about it (which is often not that much fun). - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:03, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Nah. I'd like to keep it as it is. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

== Splitting Fun Facts ==

I have an idea for splitting the Fun Facts section into multiple smaller segments - so, if we can't get rid of the now-customary influx of "facts", we can at least split them up. I put my proposed edit (which is open for debate!) at 'link deleted'. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:44, 7 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Sounds interesting and well thought out, but I think we might want to wait for the dust to settle from this whole star thingy before we start to shake things up any more.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:02, 7 Jan 2005 (MST)

::Strangely enough, it was the whole star thing that caused me to bring it up in the first place (though I'd been toying with the idea for a while.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:07, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::I was bored at work and started segmenting some of the [[some kinda robot|Strong]] [[i she be|Bad]] [[butt IQ|Emails]]. For now I'm not doing any more in the interest that the Wiki should decide on one standard for the fun facts; otherwise I'm just opening up a can of worms that doesn't need to be touched. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 10:19, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::Since I had to remove the subpages, I moved the proposed changes and example to [[User_talk:Jay|my talk page]]. Nothing changed, really. PS. I like the "Fast Forward" category name (used in [[some kinda robot]] by Kamek) over my somewhat lame "To be continued..." --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:06, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::::Well, if the two of you want to tackle this, I don't really see any reason why you shouldn't. I'll try to help when I can. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

::::::I'll go ahead and continue with the refactoring of the Fun Facts. The way I see it is that if something isn't done about it, nothing will get done at all. For the most part I'll try to stick to your proposed standards, Jay. I might add or remove categories if necessary. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 17:59, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::::::I think the fun facts layout should be as following:
<pre>
== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
Interesting facts about the toon or e-mail.
=== References ===
Interesting references to other things outside Homestar Runner.
=== References To Other Cartoons ===
References to other cartoons.
=== References By Other Cartoons ===
References that other cartoons have made to this toon or e-mail.
</pre>
:::::::I realize that this is roughly what is already being done, but I think the sections should be reworded.

:::::::And what about this "gold star" thing? Is it going to happen, or are we going to trash it? Have we even decided yet? →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

As you've probably noticed, I've split all the sbemails and TGS8. The Fun Facts heading is still there, but everything is in subcategories now. The only complaints I got were one person who didn't like me splitting the emails with very few facts - which I have explained (on my talk page) - and another who didn't like the category name "Fast Forward" (because it was too ambiguous) but didn't offer anything better. (Of course, I'd gladly delete the Fast Forward subcategory and every last Fun Fact within it, except that most people don't seem to agree that this is a good idea.) Is everyone okay with this being a permanent change? Any complaints about the splitting itself, rather than the format? Should we update the Standards? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:57, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== Real-World References? ===
Is just me, or do we need better name for "Real-World References"? The name isn't very accurate when we add facts about other fiction. I suggest "Outside References" or "Cultural References". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:02, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
: On the one hand, I think you're on to something when you say that "Cultural" might be a better term. On the other hand... well, you'd have to go through a LOT of articles to fix it... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:16, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

That's why we [[HRWiki:Projects|Projects]], my friend. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 07:41, 13 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Running Gags Section ===
As you may have seen in a recent STUFF'd fun fact, there have been mixed reactions about letting "This is another instance pof The Cheta's head exploading" be a fun fact, so I'm thinking we should have a Running Gags section for fun facts. WHat do you guys think?

:Nah. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:58, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::C'mon, FireBird, give us a little more than a one-word response. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:The vote to accept is currently 18–2, and I think the two decliners mistook a running gag for an ''n''th instance of something or a common event. As for listing the running gags, I don't have a problem with keeping them in Inside References, since that's what they are. But they should definitely be documented ''somewhere'', at the very least so that they can link to the Running Gags page. I will keep an open mind on this idea for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:02, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Mentioning them in Inside References I feel would be the best idea, but I'm fully against a full category for them. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:07, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I also agree with that, I was just surprised when it was STUFF'd. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 17:09, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I would like to pop in my say on this: As a relative new-comer to the wiki, one who has been here for a while but is yet to make an account, I think that having a Fun-Facts split section for Running Gags would be good, and if it isn't, ''it couldn't do any harm.'' -[[User:Ariamaki|Ariamaki]] July 7th, 4:11 AM est.

:Creating a page with a bunch of keyboard mashings wouldn't do any harm, either, but we delete it anyway. Adding a new Fun fact that is poor in grammar wouldn't do any harm, but we fix it anyway. Of course it wouldn't do harm, but some just don't like the idea of it. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 13:45, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Running gags don't appear in great numbers, so we would probably just have one fun fact in the section. If any. [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]]

* I am all for it, it sounds like a great idea. [[User:Total Spaceship Guy3|Total Spaceship Guy3]] 20:47, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Err... Why was my edit reverted? ==

Internet (as in ''the'' Internet; the one Homestar Runner is on) is a proper noun and should thus be capitalized. See [[Wikipedia:Internet]]. --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 20:38, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Forgot to mention that Flash (as in Macromedia Flash; the format that most Homestar Runner content is in) should also be capitalized, yet the F goes uncapitalized on many pages. --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 20:40, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Good question about the "I" in Internet. I'm not really sure, you might want to ask over on InterruptorJones's [[User talk:InterruptorJones|talk page]]. As for the "F" in Flash, that's a good point. I change it when I see it, and I've updated the page to note the capital.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:16, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Duration vs. Running Time==
I've noticed that, at least for [[Strong Bad Email]] pages/transcripts, the note about how long it is is inconsistent. Some pages use "Duration," others use "Running Time." Not that it's really that big of a deal, but which one would be better to use? (I vote "Running Time.")—[[User:StrongstarRunbad|StrongstarRunbad]] 09:14, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Template to simplify Cast & Filmography ==

I've made a template, [[:Template:Film]], that can be used for Cast lists in toon pages. It automatically adds the page to the character's Filmography category, so you don't need to explicitly add the filmography category at the bottom of the page. For example, for [[rampage]]:

<pre>
'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}},
{{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|The King of Town}},
{{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|The Cheat}},
{{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|Homsar}}
</pre>

Replaces:

<pre>
'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]],
[[The King of Town]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]],
[[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homsar]]

...

[[Category: Strong Bad Filmography]][[Category: Strong Mad Filmography]]
[[Category: The King of Town Filmography]] [[Category: Homestar Runner Filmography]]
[[Category: Coach Z Filmography]] [[Category: The Cheat Filmography]]
[[Category: Strong Sad Filmography]] [[Category: Marzipan Filmography]]
[[Category: Homsar Filmography]]
</pre>

It seems to simplify things. What do people think?
-- [[User:thejesterx|thejesterx]] 09:24, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Similar template for Computer in SBEmails ==

I noticed that SBEmail pages don't specify the computer the email was received on, they merely show it in the relevant category at the bottom. I made a similar template, [[:Template:Comp]] to specify the computer Strong Bad used to receive the email, and automatically put it in the category for that computer. For example, in [[rampage]]:
<pre>{{Comp|Lappy 486}}</pre>
Which displays: '''Computer:''' [[Lappy 486]], and puts the page in the [[:Category:Lappy 486 Emails]] category. Anyone think this is a good idea, or is this info unnecessary?

Main Page 22

2005-07-08T02:31:37Z

single deuce: /* Glitches */

[[Image:main22.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The virus strikes again!]]

Main Page featuring [[virus]] Homestar, The Virus, and glitches abound.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Virus]], [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], [[Old Man]], [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[Monte Negro]]

'''Place:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' [[Edgarware|Edgar]]

'''Page title:''' "Drop a train on em!"

'''Date:''' December 5, 2004

==Button Effects==
*'''Toons''' — The museum button falls down to the bottom of the screen and takes out some words on the navbar. Mousing over a second time returns it to its normal location.
*'''Games''' — The right side of the table turns black and has a red wireframe grid on it, while the [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing sign]] turns into HTML code. Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the old man fishing. Mousing over a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''Characters''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] (possibly a clip from the song "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi) and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''Downloads''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen saying "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!" and "Make millions doing nothing!!" with [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] saying [[fhqwhgads]] (in [[Visor Robot]]'s voice) on "Make millions doing nothing!!", along with Cory from the [[That a Ghost]] toon, and [[Monte Negro]] on "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". The sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] appears with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered," and eventually the startup screen for [[Edgarware|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by the Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed intermittently over Edgar's face and says, "Some of my buses."
*'''Store''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''Email''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the links it crushes.
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*You can never be directly linked to this page, you must manually click on the 22 in the Main Page selector.
===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System Is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different font and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font.
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked.
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page. The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons. Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [http://homestarrunner.com/main6x.swf Old Main Page 6], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds.
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".
===Glitches===
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Fan Stuff boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are, just like on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**Biz Cas Fri and More Biz Cas Fri also are on the left of the screen.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.
***Because of this glitch, you can see a quirky thing happen when you click the quote of the week button. For a Split second you will be able to see Homestar's face and a short blurb saying "Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."
****A previous version of the Quote of the Day page read "Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!". It was changed sometime in mid-April 2005, probably the 15th (the date reported in the "Last-Modified" HTTP header for qod.swf). The reason for the change is as yet unknown.
*When Peasant's Quest appears, you can still click on the covered "First Time Here" link and the hidden area of the What's New button.
*There is a sound glitch in the characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts University|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*"Drop a train on 'em!" is what [[Strong Bad]] said when he ran [[Edgarware]] in [[virus]].
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
* When Bubs says 'some of my buses', this is a reference to [[Strong Bad Email]] #87, [[mile]].
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' June 2, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:19

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Watch me do a little bit o' email, and I'll watch you do a little bit o' ''{screen reads "File Not Found," as Strong Bad accidentally typed "stongbad_email.exe"}'' uh—that's never happened before. ''{singing}'' Watch me do a little bit o' email, and I'll watch you do a little bit o' ''{email loads properly this time}'' uh—that's never happened befo—oh wait, it's an email. That ''has'' happened before. And quite a few times if I remember correctly. All right, so...

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Respond to this E-Mail in the 
funniest way ever. 
 
From Sam</blockquote>

''{he reads "From Sam" as if the whole phrase was the emailer's name}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Let's see here...I can tape this blank floppy disk to my head ''{he doesn't actually type "blank"}'' and start talking gibberish and acting like the crazy squeaky guy. LEEKO! LEEKO! LEEKO! I'm a squeaky guy! ''{jumps up on the table and starts dancing around}'' I got squeaky pants! Come check out my squeaky pants dance! Squee squaw squee squaw squee squaw ''{a bottle of ketchup falls from the ceiling into his hands and he starts pouring it over everything and hitting the keyboard with his foot, producing "WHOA!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!"}'' punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity! Aunt Ruthie! Aunt Ruthie! There's ketchup on the computer! Halzee-WHOOP!

''{He leaps from the table backwards and starts spinning while bouncing around the floor on his head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER!

''{He runs up to Strong Sad and starts yelling rhyming gibberish at him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jor Jee Jibbera Jaw! Huppidda Roopja Oop Jup Jaw! Ooka Oog

''{Strong Sad begins talking over him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Quit that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooka Reetoo Taw!

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're freakin' me out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pauses shortly, then continues}'' Eeckoo Ickoo Ickoo Slaw! Hooka Hoo Ha!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you take some of my pills again?

''{Cut to Compy. Bubs and The Cheat are dipping fries in the ketchup poured over the computer.}''

'''BUBS:''' You know what? You're right, The Cheat! This computer catsup is better than the regular kind! Or that purple kind.

''{Strong Bad walks back in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right. Clear outta here, you two! 'Cept for you, The Cheat. ''{The Cheat grumbles}'' You better start cleaning this mess up!

'''BUBS:''' What happened in here? Some type of ketchup bomb go off?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, not really. I was answering an e-mail and dancing and acting like a squeaky guy and I started throwing ketchup everywhere.

'''BUBS:''' Oh. That's pretty cool.

''{Strong Bad does a double-take behind him to make sure nobody's around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce to Bubs}'' Hey, man, are ketchup bombs real?

'''BUBS:''' Not yet! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to the Cheat}'' Well? Aren't you gonna go get your 409 or Awesome Sauce or whatever you're gonna clean this up with? ''{The Cheat squeaks at him and starts heading off}'' Maybe a moist chamois? ''{tries a fry with the computer ketchup}'' Ooh! This computer ketchup ''is'' pretty good! Needs more RAM, though. Maybe a couple of megachips.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you click on Strong Bad's face (not head) while he is spinning upside down (the floppy disk itself does not work), Homestar will come out to say something funny. It may take a few tries to get it, you have to be quite quick. It's easier to get it with the tab key and enter.
:''{Homestar Runner walks in from the left. Strong Bad re-enters from the right, still bouncing on his head and spouting his gibberish.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... Hi, Strong Bad. I was just stopping by to do something funny, but, um... I can see you don't need my help this week.
:''{Strong Bad bounces off to the left while Homestar looks on.}''
*At the very end you can click on a blob of ketchup near the left fries to see the ketchup bottle.

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*This is the first time that we see how Strong Bad eats.

===Goofs===
*The tape for the disk appears behind the text on the screen.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So here's the commentary track... ''{laughs}'' Are we gonna do that kind of—

'''MATT:''' intro to all of them?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' As if they've just found this ''one'' one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Well, maybe.

'''MATT:''' So welcome to commentary if you accidentally—

'''MIKE:''' Can you turn on the commentary throughout? And it'll automatically—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think so, you just hit the "audio" button.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating newscaster}'' In case you've accidentally hit your "audio" button, you've just joined already in progress commentary track number eigh-ty...

'''MATT:''' Alright, sorry, I didn't know, let's start over.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'm j'st kidding. No, no, this is great, this is great. We have nothing cool that has happened yet.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' So "Leeko leeko leeko" is something Mike used to say when we'd uh, like, get when he'd get excited. And um, what game is in the thing there, right there? Oh, "Odell Lake." ''{Mike laughs}'' That was a great game for the old Apple II D that we played in school.

'''MIKE:''' Our cousin Jim used to say, "Fonkity fonkity."

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he'd hit himself in the head with a

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' whiffle-ball bat.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh, yeah. And he used to do that, too. ''{Matt laughs}'' He used to jump around on his head saying "pont-reer".

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's not true. That's not true.

'''MIKE:''' He's a very talented guy.

'''MATT:''' "Pont-reer" is just, uh, my generic, like uh, cartoon sound effect. It just seems like cartoons would just be like, "Pont-REER!" and then they'd do something. Oh, this is the best dance ever. Mike did this dance. I love it. And actually, this is sort of like, I think we've mentioned it before, but it's sort of like, uh— What he's saying, the weird chanting he's doing is kind of like this, uh, in that very stru— uh, Bugs Bunny episode we were talking about, where he's on the desert island. He does, like, a weird native dance and just kinda sounds like that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ohhhh. Matt always throws in this stuff from old Looney Toons that I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Well, I mean, it's sub— subconscious.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sure.

'''MATT:''' Don't '''sue''' me ''{Mike snickers}'', don't— I'm not, er, not plagiarizing.

'''MIKE:''' I love those little, uh, French fry trays.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' The red and white checkerboarded ones...? I remember one time I made, uh, some Long John— I made, uh, the Long John Silver's trays, cardboard trays that the fries and stuff came in, were— looked like boats, and I played with them and they're all greasy and... ''{Matt chuckles}'' But I loved them.

'''MATT:''' Uh, there's really a cleaner called, uh, Awesome

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Awesome, yeah

'''MATT:''' ''{continues}'' right? Yeah, our friend Tobin got us, that he keep— we keep mentioning.

'''MIKE:''' Look, this is one of the few times that Strong Bad eats ever.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' It just disappears into his mouth.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It— into his flesh mouth.

'''MATT:''' Couple of megachips. ''{Strong Bad in background says, "Maybe a couple of megachips"}'' That's what he said.

==How to add images==
Here's a quick rundown of how to add images:
#If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image use policy]]. Note that the PNG format is preferred.
#Over in the toolbox on the left, click [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].
#(A) Browse to the file on your computer. (B) Write a brief description in the summary area. (C) Click the copyright checkbox. (D) Click "Upload file".
#Place code on your page in the following format, usually at the very top of the page (although you can place it in other places): <code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGE NAME|thumb and/or POSITION|SIZE|CAPTION]]</nowiki></code>

To make an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery|image gallery]], use the wollowing format:
:<code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki>
:Image:image1.png|caption 1
:Image:image2.png|caption 2
:Image:image3.png|caption 3
:<nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>
Start each picture on a new line. You can use links and full wiki markup in the captions.

Click on these links here for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|tutorial]] and more [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Images and other uploaded files|technical info]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax|syntax info]]. HRWiki policy allows [[HRWiki:User_page#What can_I_have_on_my_user_page?|one uploaded image]] per user with no questions asked. For an example, I placed the following code at the top of your page: <code><nowiki>[[Image:cheatgold.PNG|thumb|300px|I've got a gold tooth. Wanna see it? Tough!]]</nowiki></code> That's all. Have fun! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
:Thanx a bunch for telling me how to add images and adding an image and all that crap. Love your page. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
::Anytime, my friend. It's my pleasure. And thanks for your comments about my page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== About reverting the pix ==
*YO! I do like what you did to my gallery, but I'd like to revert it for the time being. I do want to change it to your suggestion in the future, though. But, um, how do you revert? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:56, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:It was more complicated than normal to revert your page since you had already made changes to it. Here are some basic instructions on how to revert:

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To completely revert a page to a previous version:'''
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#Type a comment in the summary, usually something like "reverted edit by so-and-so; restored last version by what's her face".
#Click "Save page".</div>

<div style="margin-left:2em;padding:6px;border:1px dashed #666;background:#F5F5F5">
:'''To revert a page and keep some changes at the same time:'''
#Use the page history to determine what changes have been made since the version to which you want to revert.
#Copy the affected section to the clipboard. If there is more than one section, it may be necessary to do a normal revert (see above) and then make the changes again one at a time in later edits.
#In the page history, click on the time and date of the version to which you want to revert; this will bring up the page as it was.
#Click "edit" at the top of the old version; it will warn you that you're editing an out-of-date version.
#From the clipboard, paste in the new changes over the appropriate old section.
#Type a comment in the summary.
#Click "Show preview" to ensure that you pasted the new changes in correctly.
#Click "Save page".</div>

:In the section way above, I've included the syntax for the image gallery for whenever you want to go back to that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== The note ==

Here's the note you requested. [[HRWiki:IRC_channel]]?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I for the instructions, I have this:

:''{Tom's code moved here: [[User:It's dot com/instructions code]]}''

You need to fix up Section II, since I have no idea what's going on there. (And quite possibily sections I and III as well.) You also might want to check out some of the bulleted points in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion#Things_to_consider|things to consider]] section for when you write up the instructions. Well, good luck.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:58, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== STUFF help ==

I would be glad to help you out Dot Com. I'm bored and I'm really digging what you are doing here. Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

:On an aside note, when the time comes will you need help turning all of the current STUFF'd facts to your format? If so lemmie know and I can help you out. When do you think the big change might occur? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]]

::I'm shooting for the middle of this week. Maybe there won't be a new toon this week. That would help. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you're about ready to make this happen. I would also be willing to help you and Tony with the big change, if you so desire. You know, taking what's currently in STUFF and putting it on the new page. There's a lot of them there. Just let me know. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 03:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I welcome any help I can get. I don't know the best way to go about it. I figure we'll have to temporarily close the STUFF page so that people aren't trying to edit it while we're converting it. Also, I want to open the format up for others to test. I'm trying to get that done tonight. I think the format is really easy to use, but I ''made'' it, so there could be problems I'm not seeing. I'll leave you a note on your talk page when I have more to report, which shouldn't be too long from now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: In case you didn't notice, I've discovered what is causing the problem in STUFF. Not external links in and of themselves (notice that "The Legend of Credits" has an external link.) It's the fact that there was an equal sign in one of the links. Try plugging a random equal sign into any fact (link or no) and see what happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you're looking for a response as to the new STUFF's simplicity, I would say it is pretty easy if you follow the directions. I do have a suggestion, though. For the how to revise page you have the entire template out for cutting and pasting, but the initial template setup has the optional things on parts of it. It might make it easier to take the optional notes and the false user votes off of that template so it's easy to cut and paste the entire thing. That's what I think anyway. Other than that, I think the new system is great. --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 19:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I went ahead an implemented everything, including Protecting all the templates and DELETING!! all the test pages I could think of. If there are others I missed, feel free to TBD them. I ended up erasing a lot of old Verdicted facts on the old STUFF page - dig through the history if you really feel you need them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==New STUFF Verdicts==

The new STUFF looks prooty good! One little quibble: it appears that the original posting dates were not included when the open STUFFs were ported. My real question is: how should a VERDICT'D STUFF look? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: The date thing was my fault. Anyway, I guess that a VERDICT should be another template or two, and should be put in place of the arguments and votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: I fixed the dates. For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>

The rest of this discussion has moved to [[HRWiki_talk:STUFF#Verdicts]].

::Haha, "less than three" in this context means, "Yay! Heart!" This is just a random compliment for you. You know, because you're always cool. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 06:25, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::Of course! Now I see. (I'm not a big emoticon user myself, so you'll have to forgive my ignorance here.) And thanks for the encouraging words! Great jaerb on the [[Biz Cas Fri 1]] transcript. It's always fun to help on those (especially since I rarely get the chance to do one — they're always done so quickly after a toon is released).

==Pics for a lifetime==
Thanks for your msg, the time lapse video is an awesome idea, hadn't even occured to me! I would love to take them once a day for years & years. I saw a photoblog where a guy took a pic of himself everyday starting on his 30th birthday. He has been going for 4 years or something crazy like that. My concern is that I'm really good at ''starting'' projects, have a hard time completing them sometimes. '''But''', with a new baby you take lotsa pics, so I'm hoping I can stay dedicated. Any thoughts? BTW, I <3 the new STUFF layout, thanks for all your hard work there! [[User:single deuce|single deuce]] 04:18, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an edit as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

HRWiki:Welcoming committee

2005-07-06T03:10:16Z

single deuce: /* Members */

Welcome to the Welcoming Committee of the [[Main Page|Homestar Runner Wiki]].

== Who We Are ==
The welcoming committee is a group of people who kindly greet new users and help them get started (if needed). If you want to help out, the most obvious thing you can do is post welcome messages and be friendly and helpful with new users you meet. The easiest way to identify new users is from the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] list. The new user's username or talk page will be red because they haven't been created, yet. Once you're on the user page, you can click "User contributions" on the sidebar to see how many edits they've done. Also be sure to check the history of the talk page to verify that no one has already welcomed them (they may have deleted the first welcome message).

Note that joining the committee confers neither responsibilities nor privileges, but members are expected to do some welcoming — we don't want to simply clutter up this page with member names.

You should also have a basic technical understanding of the wiki so that you can answer any questions an inexperienced user might have.

== Don't Bite ==
''"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."''-[[Wikipedia:Hanlon's Razor|Hanlon's Razor]]

The [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Welcoming Committee|Wikipedia Welcoming Committee]], in their "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|Please do not bite the newcomers]]" page, wrote:
:...Behavior that may appear malicious to experienced Wikipedians is more likely due to ignorance of our expectations and rules. Even if you're '''100% sure''' that someone is a ''worthless, no-good, low-down scum-sucking Internet troll,'' vandal, or worse; ''comport yourself as if they're not.'' By being forgiving, instructive, and respectful, you come away with much more dignity, and you reflect well on our project.

Basically, just don't get frustrated if a newcomer or some IP makes a mistake- let it slide and give him a friendly note telling them what they did.

== Standards for Welcoming ==

A good welcome message should be around the lines of

----
:Hello and welcome to the [[HRWiki:About|Homestar Runner Wiki]]! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

:Here are some tips to help you get started:

:*Have a look at the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
:*If you need help, post a question on the [[HRWiki_talk:FAQ|discussion page]] for the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
:*Read the [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] of the Wiki.
:*Remember that above all else, this is a collaborative knowledge-base dedicated to [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]].
:*Explore, and be sure to have fun!

''(Your signature, and "The Homestar Runner Welcoming Committee")''

----

You get the idea. Be as kind and welcoming as possible and answer any questions they might have.

Please try to center the welcome up there. You don't have to follow it exactly; you can rearange it, reword it, whatever - but '''please include the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide], [[HRWiki:Standards]], [[HRWiki:FAQ]] and [[Help:Editing]] pages.'''

Tragic Clown Dog

2005-07-06T03:06:13Z

single deuce:

[[Image:TragicClownDog.PNG|thumb|160px|All the zaniness of a clown with the warmth of a hotdog!]]

The '''Tragic Clown Dog''' is the mascot for [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. [[Bubs]] hired [[Strong Bad]] to dress as the Tragic Clown Dog. Strong Bad soon quit so he could get back to his [[Lappy 486]], which was about to run out of battery power. Pictures with the Tragic Clown Dog aren't free, as Bubs tried to charge [[Pom Pom]] and [[Coach Z]] 60 bucks for the privilege. The suit is owned by Strong Bad, as Bubs made him purchase the costume when he was hired.

==The Single Deuce==
Ah, Pom Pom likes the single deuce. 
[[Image:Single Deuce.png|thumb|left|80px|What Pom Pom Likes]]
And so do I.

Hey there, I'm '''single deuce'''.
I'm the only banker I know that's even ''heard'' of H*R.
(They can be kinda uptight, and don't watch many cartoons)

My wife doesn't understand why I watch H*R, much less why I '''must''' edit a fan page for it.

She '''''really''''' doesn't get [[Homsar]].

But I love her anyway.
 

== Homestar & HomestarWiki Stuff ==
Here on the wiki, you can usually find me at the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page, lording my vote over the sometimes absurd, sometimes laughable, always voteable STUFF.

== What Else, You Ask? ==
I'm going to start a project for my (almost born!!) daughter called ''3sixty-five'' where I'll take her picture every day for her first year. If I can keep that up for a year, I'll try to take one every day for her second year, and so on.

single deuce: /* How Did I Get Here? */

==Show Page Problem?==
When I attempt to add my name to a vote and click "show page", it brings me up to that toon's stuff page (ie STUFF/mile) rather than the original STUFF page with all the facts on it. Is this a glitch? Its a little troublesome to have to click back and then back again to get back to the STUFF page. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 14:23, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: It's normal, because the only edits to the actual STUFF page are adding more subpages. There's a "back to STUFF index" link on every fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::got it. thanks~ --[[User:Tony Stony|<nowiki></nowiki>]][[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony<nowiki></nowiki>]] 16:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Good Jorb ==
Much, MUCH better, guys. Great job. ''{gives round of applause}'' -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 18:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Well done It's Dot Com, Tom, Jay, and anyone else who was involved with this. This incarnation of stuff should really cut down on the flaming and the confusion of the old way. One question: what if the vote is a tie when two weeks is up? Do we go into sudden death? (exprobably not) Does decline win automatically? (would make sense to me) Accept?-- {{User:Tony_Stony/sig}} 19:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I also agree, it looks great! I think that if the two weeks are up and it's a tie, then it just stays up longer until the tie is broken. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:11, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I actually ''used'' it for real the first time today, and it is ''so easy'' to see at a glance how each fact is doyng. I mean ''doing''. I'm really glad we got this done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:And now I have gotten to STUFF two new real facts using the new method—so simple, anyone could use it! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:50, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It looks great! Much more easier, although it takes a little longer to add a new fun fact, it's still way better! And it's really easy to count the votes! Thank you to all that were involved in re-organising STUFF (Jay did the tedious work of launching STUFF, changing all the fun facts to the new templates and everything). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 05:49, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: I just did the grunt work. I helped with a little of the formatting stuff, but most of the design (as far as I see it) was IDC's. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:55, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I meant. I also like how you can now add individual STUFF'd fun facts to your watchlist, instead of watching the whole page. I used to never go to STUFF because of how messy it was, but now I visit the page heaps. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

''gasp!'' Oh. My. Gods. I. Love. It. Oh. So. Much! [[User:single deuce|single deuce]] 1:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Candidates for speedy verdicts ==
I propose the following guidelines for closing facts before the two-week time period is complete:
* After 4 days, a unanimous vote of at least 8
* After 1 week, a unanimous vote of any number
* After 1 week, a vote in which one side has at least 8 more votes than the other AND the ratio of votes is at least 3 to 1 (for example: 9 to 1, 12 to 4, 15 to 5)
— [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's pretty close to the criteria that I use(d) to close STUFFs quickly. I have been known to close a STUFF that's 10-0 (or higher) after just a couple of days though. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I've never had a problem with items being closed that are just taking up space. I wrote these guidelines not too long ago in an attempt to codify our policy. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:39, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Verdicts ==
For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>
:Okay, I've set up some more templates and closed some facts. I think the verdict notices should move to the respective talk pages after a few days or so; then the STUFF templates can be deleted and the STUFF links can be removed from the articles. I've got to run right now, but tomorrow I'll write up the procedures for closing items. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:51, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::All right, I've written the instructions for '''[[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|How to close an item]]'''. The instructions are not for novices, so I don't know whether they should go on the main STUFF page or not. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:49, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Doesn't fix everything ==

Apparently, as cool as this system is, there's still the plague of "Accepting a fact because I like it, even if it's not (or questionably) factual." I'm especially disappointed in three of my fellow sysops for voting for such a fact, all of whom I thought had more sense than that. And... I just needed to get that off my chest. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:47, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I'm disappointed that you beat around the bush instead of just saying that the fact is "You said doyng" and that I'm one of the sysops you're disappointed in. And I happen to think that the fact is true true true. Strong Bad lingers on that word far longer than any other word in that email. Disagreeing is fine, and accusing me outright of not having any sense is fine (although I can't speak for others), but there's no need to be all passive-aggressive. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Gosh! I thought he was talking about the "[[Talk:do_over#Change_of_Pace_(ACCEPTED)|Change of Pace]]" Family Guy reference! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::"Change of pace" was the old system. "Doyng" is on the new system and has three sysops in the "accept" column. (I was the one who originally stuffed and defended it.) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Strictly speaking, I didn't accuse you of having NO sense. Anyway, I just needed to rant. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:01, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::That's true, that's true. You wouldn't be the first though. :p {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 02:48, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Neutral Voting==

I'd like to see a column for neutral votes. Sometimes I'd like to be able to express my opinion on an item, even if my opinion is just "meh". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:No. Take a stand, one way or the other. A neutral vote is no vote at all, and just takes up space. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::With the new format, voting doesn't take up nearly much screen space. You're correct when you state that a neutral vote is no vote at all. But it does express an opinion. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:16, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::An opinion of "meh" is not useful. Nobody cares if another user doesn't care, you know? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::Shrug. Personally, I thought neutral voting was an interesting and useful part of the old STUFF system. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::BTW "neutral" doesn't necessarily mean "I don't care". If you don't care, don't vote! To me Neutral meant "I'm interested but I'm not sure" or "I'm thinking about it" or "Convince me". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:26, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::That's a reasonable point. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:35, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::The arguments are there to convince you. A couple of times now, I've made up my mind (and even changed it) based on some good arguments. But I don't think we should have to write ''more'' arguments to sway those on the fence. For one, if the vote is close, there will be plenty of arguments to read, and if it's not close, one vote in the other direction isn't going to make that much of a difference. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Lawmakers (as an example) don't have to vote only "Yea" or "Nay" on a given subject . They have two other options. They can choose not to vote or they can abstain. You could look at a "neutral" vote as an abstention. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:52, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::That's a distinction without a difference. Not voting and officially abstaining have exactly the same effect: '''nothing'''. In our system, one must truly ''decide'' what his or her vote is, and only then does it go on record. I'll say again: you gotta take a stand. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::The difference is that abstaining is not anonymous. You've gone on the record, albieit blandly. Personally, I like to know who is on the fence (although you didn't always know that with the old system either). Obviously, the new system works fine without neutral voting. I just miss it a little. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:50, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::As far as caring who the neutral voters are, I'll just say this: Meh. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Neutral votes in the old format were meant for adding comments without the comment being counted as a vote. But we can do that with this system anyway. Since you can just elect not to vote, there really doesn't seem much point for a "Neutral" vote. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==How Did I Get Here?==
Is there an easier way to get to the main STUFF page? I have to search it every time I want to come here. If not, can we put a link on the [[Main Page]] or the sidebar under navigation so we can vote on our lovely STUFF? [[User:single deuce|single deuce]] 00:06, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)
* [[The Stick]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:09, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)
** Not bad, not bad. Clicking two links vs. typing one search. I'll have to decide. Thanks, Jay. [[User:single deuce|single deuce]] 00:51, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Signature ==

If you're going to make your signature "<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>", then you need to put "nowiki" tags on each side of it. You see, everytime someone edits a page with your sig in it, the <nowiki>"~~~"</nowiki> in you sig is replaced with the editers sig. This is what your sig needs to look like: 
<nowiki>[[User:Some HSR themed username|<nowiki>~~~</nowiki></nowiki>]]. 
This won't change the way it looks at all. Thanks. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 18:35, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I noticed that yesterday, but I thought I changed it. I'll make sure it works this time. [[User:Some HSR themed username|<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>]] 18:40, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Test sig [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some[[image:small_logo.png]]themed username]]

:Cool. Thanks. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 18:44, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Your signature needs to be your name, not <tt><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></tt>, especially in votes. We shouldn't have to follow a link to find out who someone is. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:29, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:You can just hover over it to make my username appear, or check the destination link at the bottom if you don't want to follow the link. I also think that if I always use this then eventually it will become synonymous with my username, plus it's a lot shorter. If you still want me to change it then I guess I will. [[User:Some HSR themed username|<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>]] 19:35, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::If you want to change your name to an unpronouncable symbol à la Prince, be my guest, but you shouldn't choose something that's already reserved by the system software. It's confusing and, as you've already found out, has the potential for bugs. A suggestion for a short form of your name: "HSR username". Just a thought. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:56, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

'''Strong Bad Email #36'''

Derek asks Strong Bad if he could play the guitar. Strong Bad really over-reacts and... Well, it's a little hard to explain.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' July 14, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:20

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, tap your toes and check your email, oh a-tap your toes tonight... ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hey Strong Bad whats up? 
 
Can you play the Guitar? 
 
Derek Highet 
Northern California</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad has some trouble pronouncing the surname "Highet".}''

{''Throughout the email, Strong Bad types every syllable he sings.''}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Derek. Not much, man. Yeah I can play the guitar. I know all about virtuosos ''{pause}'' and trembalos ''{pause}'' and arpeggios. ''{pause}'' I can do it all. I can play your basic rhythm guitar, like... ''{singing}'' jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAH, jiggidy jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAAH! ''{stops singing}'' You know, something like that. I can also play some pretty hott lixx, too. You know the kind that are just way up high on the tiny strings and you mash your fingers on 'em. ''{singing}'' meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ''{stops singing}'' Yeah, yeah and then Strong Mad comes in on his bass and he's like, ''{singing}'' dou dow da dou da da DOU da dou da dou dou ''{stops singing}'' and The Cheat comes in on his keyboards and he's like boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boo and then I'm like "And the dragon comes in the NIIIiiiiIIIiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiIIGGHH..."

''{Strong Bad falls out of his chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh... Oh yeah!

''{Strong Bad sticks up his arm up from the bottom of the screen and lights the BMW lighter as people do at rock concerts. [[The Paper]] comes down. After a short time, the lighter burns The Paper.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===

*"[[Wikipedia:Arpeggio|Arpeggio]]" literally means "like a harp." The [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=arpeggio term] is used to indicate that the notes of a certain [[Wikipedia:Chord_(music)|chord]] are to be played quickly one after another (usually from lowest to highest) instead of at the same moment.
*"Trembalo" is not a proper musical term. Strong Bad mis-spoke and is referring to a "[[Wikipedia:tremolo|tremolo]]." A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=tremolo tremolo] is a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes.

===Goofs===
*The number of "jug jiggas" typed does not match up to the number of "jug jiggas" Strong Bad says/sings.

===Fast Forward===
*"And the dragon comes in the night" is used again as "And the Trogdor comes in the night" in [[dragon]] and [[Trogdor (song)]] in Strong Bad's CD, [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD Version adds a hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' This email is titled Guitar. It's near and dear to our hearts. We grew up reading ''Guitar for the Practicing Musician'' and ''Guitar World'' and ''Metal Edge'', and um...

'''MATT:''' Rather, our brother Donny read all of them.

'''MIKE:''' ''Hit Parade'', ''Circus Magazine''

'''MATT:''' ''Kerrang''. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''RIP''. Remember the ''RIP''?

'''MIKE:''' I think that's, that's all of them. That's so, yeah, we um... ''{short pause}'' we knew all about virtuosos and arpeggios.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' And trembolos. I took guitar in 8th grade. I didn't, I was never very good, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. This one goes out to all those dudes that lurk around the guitar shop and won't go away, and all I want to do is buy some strings and maybe a pick and they make

'''MIKE:''' They make—

'''MATT:''' —me feel really intimidated and want to leave. And it seems like this actually appealed to a lot of, it seemed to get circulated among tab sites and sites that like guitar.

'''MIKE:''' Tab and, like, Diet Coke and—

'''MATT:''' Tablatures, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, oh, oh!

'''MATT:''' It's a term!

'''MIKE:''' I thought you were talking about die—diet sodas.

'''MATT:''' It's a guitar term. ''{pause}'' There you go, and of course, that later becomes a part of Trogdor, the song called Trogdor from website homestartotcom.

'''MIKE:''' There's the first appearance of the BMW lighter.

'''MATT:''' Watch as it burns the paper! So burns.

=== Fun Facts ===
*''[[Wikipedia:Guitar World|Guitar World]]'', ''Metal Edge'', and ''Circus Magazine'' are all music magazines. ''Hit Parade'' possibly refers to ''Hit Parader''.
*[[Wikipedia:Tab (soft drink)|Tab]] was the first diet soda produced by the [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola Company]].

''{We see the yellow screen from earlier, with the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows logo, a bag of marshmallows, and a jar of mayo.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. Each sold separately. Comes with everything you see here. Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails. ''{pause}'' Is that it? Am I done? Can I go? Anybod—Anybody want to get something to eat?

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The announcer says "Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails," because in the cartoon (during "Munch"), there are nails impaling the marshmallows and batteries surrounding the plate.

===Trivia===
*If you listen to [http://www.homestarrunner.com/fluffypuff.mp3 this clip], then you'll hear the background music for when Marshie is talking at the end. Marshie's voice is added over this track.
*The quote "I hate that freakin' marshmallow" is a reference to [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]],when Homestar tried to advertise Fluffy Puffs, but flubbed his lines (similar to [[First Time Here?|First Time Here]]). Marshie evidently took his job.

===Goofs===
*The kids and the [[Fluffy Puff Mayo|mayonnaise]] jar have shadows, but the sign that fell on the kids, and Marshie himself, do not.

===Inside References===
*The song that the Background Singers sing near the end is the same song that they sang at the end of the [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Galoob]], mentioned in the page title, was a toy company that made [[Wikipedia:Micro Machines|Micro Machines]], the [[Wikipedia:Game Genie|Game Genie]], and [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] and [[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]] action figures. It has since been bought by [[Wikipedia:Hasbro|Hasbro]]. The phrase "New from Galoob!" was the last line of the commercials for these toys.

single deuce: /* Good Jorb */

==Show Page Problem?==
When I attempt to add my name to a vote and click "show page", it brings me up to that toon's stuff page (ie STUFF/mile) rather than the original STUFF page with all the facts on it. Is this a glitch? Its a little troublesome to have to click back and then back again to get back to the STUFF page. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 14:23, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: It's normal, because the only edits to the actual STUFF page are adding more subpages. There's a "back to STUFF index" link on every fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::got it. thanks~ --[[User:Tony Stony|<nowiki></nowiki>]][[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony<nowiki></nowiki>]] 16:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Good Jorb ==
Much, MUCH better, guys. Great job. ''{gives round of applause}'' -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 18:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Well done It's Dot Com, Tom, Jay, and anyone else who was involved with this. This incarnation of stuff should really cut down on the flaming and the confusion of the old way. One question: what if the vote is a tie when two weeks is up? Do we go into sudden death? (exprobably not) Does decline win automatically? (would make sense to me) Accept?-- {{User:Tony_Stony/sig}} 19:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I also agree, it looks great! I think that if the two weeks are up and it's a tie, then it just stays up longer until the tie is broken. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:11, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I actually ''used'' it for real the first time today, and it is ''so easy'' to see at a glance how each fact is doyng. I mean ''doing''. I'm really glad we got this done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:And now I have gotten to STUFF two new real facts using the new method—so simple, anyone could use it! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:50, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It looks great! Much more easier, although it takes a little longer to add a new fun fact, it's still way better! And it's really easy to count the votes! Thank you to all that were involved in re-organising STUFF (Jay did the tedious work of launching STUFF, changing all the fun facts to the new templates and everything). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 05:49, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: I just did the grunt work. I helped with a little of the formatting stuff, but most of the design (as far as I see it) was IDC's. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:55, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I meant. I also like how you can now add individual STUFF'd fun facts to your watchlist, instead of watching the whole page. I used to never go to STUFF because of how messy it was, but now I visit the page heaps. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

''gasp!'' Oh. My. Gods. I. Love. It. Oh. So. Much! [[User:single deuce|single deuce]] 1:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Candidates for speedy verdicts ==
I propose the following guidelines for closing facts before the two-week time period is complete:
* After 4 days, a unanimous vote of at least 8
* After 1 week, a unanimous vote of any number
* After 1 week, a vote in which one side has at least 8 more votes than the other AND the ratio of votes is at least 3 to 1 (for example: 9 to 1, 12 to 4, 15 to 5)
— [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's pretty close to the criteria that I use(d) to close STUFFs quickly. I have been known to close a STUFF that's 10-0 (or higher) after just a couple of days though. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I've never had a problem with items being closed that are just taking up space. I wrote these guidelines not too long ago in an attempt to codify our policy. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:39, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Verdicts ==
For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like '''HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename''', for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.<div style="text-indent:2em">As items close, they should definitely be ''moved'' somewhere. Otherwise, if down the line someone STUFFs something new from a page, all the old, closed facts will still be there. Once a template subpage is empty (all the facts have closed), the template subpage should be deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>
:Okay, I've set up some more templates and closed some facts. I think the verdict notices should move to the respective talk pages after a few days or so; then the STUFF templates can be deleted and the STUFF links can be removed from the articles. I've got to run right now, but tomorrow I'll write up the procedures for closing items. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:51, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::All right, I've written the instructions for [[HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict|How to close an item]]. The instructions are not for novices, so I don't know whether they should go on the main STUFF page or not. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:49, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Doesn't fix everything ==

Apparently, as cool as this system is, there's still the plague of "Accepting a fact because I like it, even if it's not (or questionably) factual." I'm especially disappointed in three of my fellow sysops for voting for such a fact, all of whom I thought had more sense than that. And... I just needed to get that off my chest. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:47, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I'm disappointed that you beat around the bush instead of just saying that the fact is "You said doyng" and that I'm one of the sysops you're disappointed in. And I happen to think that the fact is true true true. Strong Bad lingers on that word far longer than any other word in that email. Disagreeing is fine, and accusing me outright of not having any sense is fine (although I can't speak for others), but there's no need to be all passive-aggressive. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Gosh! I thought he was talking about the "[[Talk:do_over#Change_of_Pace_(ACCEPTED)|Change of Pace]]" Family Guy reference! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::"Change of pace" was the old system. "Doyng" is on the new system and has three sysops in the "accept" column. (I was the one who originally stuffed and defended it.) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Strictly speaking, I didn't accuse you of having NO sense. Anyway, I just needed to rant. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:01, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::That's true, that's true. You wouldn't be the first though. :p {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 02:48, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Neutral Voting==

I'd like to see a column for neutral votes. Sometimes I'd like to be able to express my opinion on an item, even if my opinion is just "meh". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:No. Take a stand, one way or the other. A neutral vote is no vote at all, and just takes up space. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::With the new format, voting doesn't take up nearly much screen space. You're correct when you state that a neutral vote is no vote at all. But it does express an opinion. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:16, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::An opinion of "meh" is not useful. Nobody cares if another user doesn't care, you know? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::Shrug. Personally, I thought neutral voting was an interesting and useful part of the old STUFF system. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::BTW "neutral" doesn't necessarily mean "I don't care". If you don't care, don't vote! To me Neutral meant "I'm interested but I'm not sure" or "I'm thinking about it" or "Convince me". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:26, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::That's a reasonable point. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:35, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::The arguments are there to convince you. A couple of times now, I've made up my mind (and even changed it) based on some good arguments. But I don't think we should have to write ''more'' arguments to sway those on the fence. For one, if the vote is close, there will be plenty of arguments to read, and if it's not close, one vote in the other direction isn't going to make that much of a difference. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Lawmakers (as an example) don't have to vote only "Yea" or "Nay" on a given subject . They have two other options. They can choose not to vote or they can abstain. You could look at a "neutral" vote as an abstention. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:52, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::That's a distinction without a difference. Not voting and officially abstaining have exactly the same effect: '''nothing'''. In our system, one must truly ''decide'' what his or her vote is, and only then does it go on record. I'll say again: you gotta take a stand. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::The difference is that abstaining is not anonymous. You've gone on the record, albieit blandly. Personally, I like to know who is on the fence (although you didn't always know that with the old system either). Obviously, the new system works fine without neutral voting. I just miss it a little. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:50, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: Neutral votes in the old format were meant for adding comments without the comment being counted as a vote. But we can do that with this system anyway. Since you can just elect not to vote, there really doesn't seem much point for a "Neutral" vote. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

single deuce: /* Fun Facts and Abnormalities */

[[Image:deleted.PNG|thumb|'''BRAAAAAMMMPP!!!''']]

When [[Strong Bad]] gets an email he doesn't like, it gets...'''DELETED!!''' This is apparently mandatory with the "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]" emails.

==Sightings==
=== [[Tandy 400]] Era ===
In this era, the DELETED screen is a green background with black letters.
*[[homestar hair]] (almost, see fun fact below)
*[[spring cleaning]] (debut)
*[[sisters]]
=== [[Compy 386]] Era ===
In this era, the DELETED screen is a blue background with white letters.
*[[50 emails]]
*[[huttah!]]
*[[unused emails]]
*[[2 emails]]
*[[car]] (almost, see fun fact below)
*[[replacement]]
*[[virus]]

=== [[Lappy 486]] Era ===

No DELETEDs yet.

== Fun Facts and Abnormalities ==
[[Image:delorted!.jpg|thumb|DELORTED!?!?]][[Image:stupid_word.jpg|thumb|Stupid word...]]
* The very first deleted email (a [[Hairstyle Runner]] design) was in "homestar hair," but it was not DELETED!!
* Strong Bad has been known to have emails DELETED by mistake, as seen in the email, [[sisters]].
** This may have been a result of the Tandy being broken, given that he tries to delete something else in that email and it gets "saved forever".
* In [[50 emails]], when he types "matt = DELETED!", he got the "MATT!!" response, but it was still deleted.
* In [[replacement]], when [[Coach Z]] tried to say his best DELETED, he said "DELORTED!" and the computer flashed "DELORTED!!" and the buzzing noise became distorted, and the screen turned greenish-yellow instead of blue.
* [[The Virus]] prevented Strong Bad from deleting the offending email in the Strong Bad Email, "virus." He got the "NICE TRY!" response on his first attempt, and he got the "NOTTA CHANCE!!" response on his second.
* In [[labor day]], when Strong Bad doesn't show up to the Labor Day party, [[Strong Sad]] makes a funny by wondering if his invitation was DELETED!!
* In "[[unused emails]]", Strong Bad begins a running gag in which he "winds up" and delivers a large, louder "DELETED!!" He attempts to do this again in "[[car]]," but [[Homestar Runner]] saves the email from a tired old Strong Bad joke and is rewarded with a punch in the face.
* Homestar attempts (and spectacularly fails) to perform the "DELETED!" gag in [[50 emails]]. He tries: BALEETED! DELTEATED! Del Taco? (see [[50 emails]] for complete, long list)

HRWiki:Old STUFF

2005-06-04T22:18:28Z

single deuce: /* Oh, what a feeling */

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Check out [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive|The Archives]] and the [[HRWiki:over STUFF'd|over STUFF'd page]] for old fun facts that have moved on from this page.

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Ronald McDonald is the clown mascot of McDonald's, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is very long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.
[[Category:HRWiki Maintenance]]
== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely. Please keep in mind not everything is on this page simply to be Declined.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

==="Crapfully yours" a running gag?===
Is this a valid running gag? I wrote up a whole article on it (in particular referencing the email where he finally informed viewers that signing emails in that way was not required) and [[User:Jay|Jay]] deleted it in the middle of the night, instead of moving it here. This action is contrary to the idea of Wiki. The article is lost forever now, but at least we can decide if the decision was right and whether it should be reposted.
* The STUFF page is for Fun Facts, not deleted articles. Anyway, the "crap" page as it formerly existed was very disorganized and included many non sequiturs. And all those redirects were unnecessary even if we'd kept it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** That is a matter of opinion... you haven't given any other Wiki users the chance to see it and decide for themselves. Plus, any issues would probably have been fixed by other users quickly. I think this one deserves a vote, and I'd like to know where to vote on it if not here?
*** Okay, fine. Reinstate [[Talk:Crap]] if it suits you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' I don't even need to see the article in question to know what a load of crap it is. Its already noted in the 3 Wishes facts that Strong Bad doesn't like the "crap" signitures. A whole article is overkill. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*Yes, it's a running gag, but I don't think there needs to be a whole article about it. Maybe just list it in the running gags section or something. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 14:24, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*It is a running gag and deserves its own page, though i agree the one that Jay deleted was poorly done. If 11.01 deserves its own page, crafully yours does as well --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 14:51, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Get outta here kid?====
Strong Bad saying "Get outta here kid!" to Bubs is a reference to the Thnikkaman's catch phrase "Shut up kid!"
*'''Decline''' If this fact stretches anymore it’ll snap in half. [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]
** I understand it's not exact, but why else would the word "kid" be used.

===[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]===

====3 Coins Halloween Punjob====
The money Bubs gives to Homestar at the beginning consists of two silver coins and a copper one. Bubs says that 16 cents is Homestar's change, so the two silver coins must be a nickel and a dime while the copper one is a penny.

*The only other song I saw in the history was Bonanza, which for so very many reasons is obviously false and ''should'' be kept out.

**I meant Cheatcakes, BTW (changed it in both of our posts). But I stand by it - he doesn't say it exactly the same way, but the VERY NATURE of his tirade makes him not say it exactly the same way. He says the same thing, in a context where it otherwise makes no sense, as the theme song. I have a Homestar Runner [[Everybody Everybody Poster|poster]] which reads "everybody! everybody!" at the top. It's not being spoken aloud AT ALL, but I think everyone can agree that it's referring to the H*R theme song on the poster. How is this different? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:17, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

====Grammatically Incorrect====

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").
*<s>'''Accept''', yeah ok. makes sense to me</s> Actually, no. "Alright" is more or less an acceptable word. Besides, who says Strong Bad doesn't use slang? '''Decline'''-- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

*'''Decline''' Alright, is actually considered proper nowadays. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept first''' but '''Decline second''' The first one is good because it is incorrect and he uses it twice in the email, but the second one is the same thing that the sender emailed. And I dont think the part about "Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes" is important either. I guess my vote should be a Rewrite, but I can't think of a good way to write it right now.
**Let's just leave it at '''Declined'''. While "alright" isn't accepted as proper English by everyone, it appears in the dictionary, and using "different" instead of "differently" is exactly the kind of subtle mocking of his fans that Strong Bad does all the time.[[User:Kyushu|Kyushu]]

*'''Accept Both''' -- They're both reasonable enough to mention.

Who knows for sure... but it must be a reference to something, so we should provide some hypothetical explanation. - Dingell

**'''Second''', to all of the above. --SBEmail22 8:42 PM, 5 May 2005 (EST)
*'''Revise''' You can use this or not, I don't care, but when he said "cross talk," I always assumed it meant something more along the lines of "sassin' back", or being generally argumentative and uncooperative.

<pre>At the beginning of the e-mail, Strong Bad tells the Compy not to give
him any crosstalk. Crosstalk is when a signal transmitted on two parallel
wires creates an undesired effect (in this case, the Compy saying, "Cut
it out, you."</pre>
*'''Exobably not.''' I think he's just telling his Compy to cut the sass. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 13:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

****The fact doesn't say the reason why they used the phrase, it just explains what the technical definition for crosstalk. Dingell is right, its use (whether they used it properly or not) is not a coincidence. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

With sounds synced to "Event" (the default) if it plays too slowly on an old computer it just takes longer to play, making the sound lose sync. I guess they just forgot to turn it on this time. Perhaps "The sounds for Strong Bad singing and the planes rushing past are not set as Streaming audio, and can lose sync on slower computers" would work as a Fun Fact?

:He also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|the Great Gazoo]] from The Flintstones.

:He appears to be saying 'Muddle me twice' at the begining of his line, which is similar to Batman villain The Riddler's (in his various incarnations) catchphrase of 'riddle me this'.

==== Alternative vs. Hair Metal ====
The dialog at the end of the cartoon about Limozeen (who are parody of 80's Hair Metal Bands) being kicked off the charts by an Alternative band that has a girl as a bassist, etc. is most likely a reference to the fact that by the early 1990's people were tired of the excesses of Hair Metal bands and the popularity of that genre was already on the wane. Alternative Rock bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer (SP had 2 female bassists, Weezer's lead singer wears glasses) which were generally considered by many music critics to be smarter, hipper and closer to the roots of what rock is all about, put the nail in the coffin of the L.A.

Since no one can apparently agree to a consensus on this one, I'll try a revised version.

The mentioning of Limozeen being kicked off the charts by an alternative band with a girl bassist references the death of hair metal in the early '90s, when bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins (who actually had a girl bassist) were able to have success.

With that, I say this needs to be mentioned, because not everyone knows about exactly what happened. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

====Cut the Crusts====
In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the 80s metal band Dokken, whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."

*'''Decline.''' The tune is '''not''' the same as the Dokken song, and without the tune being the same this is too much of a stretch. -[[User:166.102.250.139|166.102.250.139]] 23:23, 20 Feb 2005 (EST)
*'''Accept, um, sorta''' In the Strong Bad Email [[Band Names]], Strong Bad suggests Dokken as a good band name, it's still kind of a stretch, but it's a possible reference.
*'''Accept''' Homestar very well may have been singing off-key.[[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]
**'''Comment from original poster''' Homestar has shown he can at least get close to the proper key and note, even though the humor is his singing bites. If you listen to the difference in the notes in the opening line "Alone Again" and the "I cut the crusts off" line in "origins", they aren't even close. Much of the notes aren't even close to being the same length. This is not an intentional Dokken reference musically, and it would be false to think only Dokken has ever mentioned doing or wanting something in the morning light. -[[User:162.39.226.54|162.39.226.54]] (dynamic IP, maybe I should sign up...)

It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --24.21.86.243 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird.

*'''Decline''' I think we're trying to make a very complicated issue out of a very subtle joke - with no indicator, he COULDN'T have set it for AM or PM, in which case, his statement isn't false, it's just stupid... which isn't surprising coming from Homestar. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:43, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

*'''Revise, accept.''' It's plausible, but I'm not sure the high heels part is necessary. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz]]
**Rephrased so it isn't a question, removed the bit about high heels. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]
*'''Accept.''' This sounds more likely to me than the Salad Fingers thing. --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]
*'''Revise, accept.''' I think that a fun fact should be listed that explains both speculations, for example: "There has been quite some speculation about Coach Z talking on his unplugged phone. Some say it is a reference to the Salad Fingers series, in which Salad Fingers uses a similar phone, and also due to the rusty steak knife, as Salad Fingers likes to touch rusty objects. Others say it is a reference to the film The Waterboy, as in one scene, Coach Klein(Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Comment''' Talk about bloated - that revision is a STUFF item just waiting to happen. We're working with Fun '''Facts''' here, not semi-random speculations. In any case, this is an awful lot to be posting about something as silly (pathetic?) as Coach Z talking on a disconnected phone. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*Decline It may actually be, but until TBC confirm it, it's just speculation. -- [[AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Declined... oh, that's rough''' I've seen this joke on Married with Children too. It's probably been used a lot of other places as well. And again with the dreaded "may be"... [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 01:29, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*Uh, I'm guessing you haven't seen The Waterboy. Look at the similarities:
*disconnected phone
*the word "Coach" in both names
*both were talking to family
*both were in a dining area
That's enough for me. '''Oh, ACCEPT, it's you.''' [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 20:49, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
*Oh, great. It's another "Change of Pace". I mean it. There is no notable difference between this and Change of Pace in my eyes. '''Decline''' for the same reason. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:54, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)
** '''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 15:28, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)
* '''Agree''' I am not a user here, but I agree with you. It really should be a running gag. You're welcome, Nate(Big fan of H*RWiki)
* '''Agree''' I agree with this. I've never noticed this before, and it is indeed pretty fun to learn. -[[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]]
* '''Accept''' I noticed it to. --[[user:super orange!|super oraaaange!]]
**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]
* '''Accept'''. Homestar likes using two-syllable exclamations. A perfectly okay fun fact. Who STUFFed this anyways??!? --[[User:kerrek_slaya|Kerrek Slaya!]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 14:43, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept, but move.''' If this is a character trait (and I think the consensus is that it is), it belongs either on Homestar's page or as part of the running gags, NOT on the Homestar Presents: Presents page - especially given the three previous references. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:30, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
** '''Second''' --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 08:39, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline-pthoo''' I don't think two syllables with the same tone constitutes a gag. [[User: Lappy 486]]
**'''Second.''' This is just another nuance of Homstar's speaking style. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 22:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 23:18, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

==== Just me being picky ====
The keyboard on the lappy is placed so high on the (toon)screen, that there is no way Strong Bad could have typed on it without it showing in the toon. (Needs rewording. Badly.)

*'''Accept.''' --[[User:J to the sag|J to the sag]]

Since it wouldn't seem fair for me to cast the deciding vote and then immediately end this, I'm going to wait for someone else to do that (if I were voting, I'd just make it more confusing and say decline; I don't understand what this guy is saying at all). --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 11:21, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I'll make it difficult... The thing is, the whole issue is quite ambiguous, since the way the perspective works, we never see the keyboard and it's possible that Strong Bad IS able to type without us seeing. See [[rock opera]] - it could be something as simple as TBC not wanting to take the time to really work out the logistics of getting SB's hands where the viewers can see them. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 01:31, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Fanglyfish ====
The Fanglyfish is Strongbad's interpertation of a real-world animal called the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish anglerfish]. Apparently he's unaware that only lady anglerfish get to have the Christmas lights and lures.
*'''STRONGLY rewrite, if not decline''' The Anglerfish part is obvious. The other part might be significant, but it doesn't feel like NPOV as written. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:30, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' "Though [[Strong Bad]] wants to be a deep sea fanglyfish, like an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish angelerfish], he doesn't know that only the females of this species get to sport the Christmas lights and lures. [[User:Fizz123|Fizz to the 123]]
*'''Accept but rewrite''' I think it is true, but take away the female lures part. --[[ User: Lappy 486]]
*'''Rewrite.''' "[[Strong Bad]]'s 'fanglyfish' is inspired by the real-world [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish anglerfish]. It should be noted that, in actuality, only the female anglerfish possesses the lights and lures which Strong Bad refers to." The part about lights and lures should only apply to the real anglerfish, and Strong Bad shouldn't be blamed for lacking knowledge. For all we know, things could be different in the H*R universe. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 22:12, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*Decline Wether or not you're right, the fangly fish is still a made up animal. So it doesn't have to reflect nature at all. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Accept''' but change to "only FEMALE anglerfish..."[[User:TakuaKaita600|TK600]] 22:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

==== Drive letter ====
After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time, and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears. This is possible, but I doubt Strong Bad knows the right command
*'''Accept''' Good catch, I didn't even catch it. --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 14:15, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' This is a valid goof (it COULD just be part of the viruses beginning to act), but the second line about Strong Bad knowing the right command is unnecessary. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:33, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
**Seconded Strong Bad is smart :) -- [[AnarchyBalsac]]
*I get what you're saying. But I don't like the 2nd sentence. --[[User: Lappy 486]]
*'''Strong Decline''' This happenes all the time with the Compy. --[[User:BenRK|BenRK]] 18:31, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' As far as I can tell, Strong Bad's computers don't follow the "rules" in any regular way. I didn't notice this, but if I had I would have taken it as part of the joke. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:49, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

==== Quote of the Day (or so) ====
Shortly after the release of this e-mail the format of the Quote of the Week box was changed to include the character's image and transcription of the quote. However, this change was not copied for the fake box in this e-mail.

====The Compy's Reign====
This email marks the end of the Compy's 78-email reign. What's interesting about this is that the Tandy was used by Strong Bad for only 40, and the Compy outlived it by almost twice that.
*'''Decline.''' This is a comment, not a fact. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:23, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

*'''Declination''' Isnt this already noted in the page somewhere? And if not, it is a little obvious.--[[User:-erson|Posted by -erson ]] 22:52, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Rewrite''' It is gewd to tell exactly how many emails it lasted, but I'm not sure about the second part. Actually, I go with tomstiff. [[User: Lappy 486]]
*'''Decline''' I don't think that there is any significance in mentioning this. Possibly is could go on the [[Compy 386]] page instead, but definately not here. - [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 7 May, 2005
*Decline This is way to obvious to need noting. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Comment.''' Number one, you used "to" in the wrong context. Number two, is it really obvious? I mean, can anyone just look at the SBEmail menu and automaticaly say "Oh, there are 78 Compy SBEmails" even if they've never seen a SBEmail in their life? It's not like there's a glaring sign saying "78 COMPY SBEMAILS, 40 TANDY SBEMAILS". -- [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:54, 18 May 2005
*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much is obvious. As for tandy having 40 e-mails and compy having 78, that belongs on the strong bad e-mails article, not the virus one. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Weak Accept / Rewrite''' - I also second AtionSong's vote. If you revise it by making it seem like a fact rather than just a comment, as stated above, then it comes together as a solid fact. It's not a signifigant detail, but it's worth noting. At least to me. [[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] - 11:16 PM, 21 May 2005

====Bubs' Belt====
At one point of the email Bubs' belt disappears. I think that this may be because his belt is basically the same color as the grass. It would have the same effect as if there were a green-screen: it would disappear.

===[[Stinkoman_20X6]]===

====Different Colors====
The fact that Gaspeau (red) and Frotzer (blue) are almost the same exact enemies may be a reference to the old Zelda games where an enemy could be red or blue and that the blue version of the enemy was always harder.

*'''Decline''' "May be"s do not belong as fun facts. Besides, the Zelda series is not the only series that does that. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

The right eye of CPU 1-up in level 5 and the right eye of the player's 1-up in level 5 is slightly different. (Unfortunately, I don't even know why I put this up?)

HRWiki:Old STUFF

2005-06-04T22:08:43Z

single deuce: /* Oh, what a feeling */

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Check out [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive|The Archives]] and the [[HRWiki:over STUFF'd|over STUFF'd page]] for old fun facts that have moved on from this page.

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Ronald McDonald is the clown mascot of McDonald's, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is very long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.
[[Category:HRWiki Maintenance]]
== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely. Please keep in mind not everything is on this page simply to be Declined.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]

==="Crapfully yours" a running gag?===
Is this a valid running gag? I wrote up a whole article on it (in particular referencing the email where he finally informed viewers that signing emails in that way was not required) and [[User:Jay|Jay]] deleted it in the middle of the night, instead of moving it here. This action is contrary to the idea of Wiki. The article is lost forever now, but at least we can decide if the decision was right and whether it should be reposted.
* The STUFF page is for Fun Facts, not deleted articles. Anyway, the "crap" page as it formerly existed was very disorganized and included many non sequiturs. And all those redirects were unnecessary even if we'd kept it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** That is a matter of opinion... you haven't given any other Wiki users the chance to see it and decide for themselves. Plus, any issues would probably have been fixed by other users quickly. I think this one deserves a vote, and I'd like to know where to vote on it if not here?
*** Okay, fine. Reinstate [[Talk:Crap]] if it suits you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' I don't even need to see the article in question to know what a load of crap it is. Its already noted in the 3 Wishes facts that Strong Bad doesn't like the "crap" signitures. A whole article is overkill. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*Yes, it's a running gag, but I don't think there needs to be a whole article about it. Maybe just list it in the running gags section or something. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 14:24, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Intro]].

I have a Homestar Runner [[Everybody Everybody Poster|poster]] which reads "everybody! everybody!" at the top.

Roller coasters don't usually have circular loops on them like the Bowels of Trogdor, because the G-forces involved, indeed, usually cause people to pass out. No one usually catches fire, though.

====Stnank or Not?====

Technically, Strong Bad didn't make the "stnank" in sisters, the Tandy deleted the email without Strong Bad telling it to.

******If the stnank was speaking along with the Tandy's screen and saying Deleted, why is the correction of the stnank him NOT deleting it, and nothing happening to it (in the form of saving/deleting/etc.)?

*'''Decline.''' To quote, "Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over." I.e., a 'stnank' isn't really a mistake--it's something that's worthy of a do-over.

*'''Brraaap! Declinated'''. Comment on it if you like but you shouldn't say it's a "type of DELETED" because 1) It doesn't say DLETED!!, 2) It doesn't delete anything and 3) That's bad grammars.

*'''Surprised at your lack of a good Fun Fact, Declined.''' It does sort of remind you of a DELETED screen, but unless you see the word DELETED, it's not a DELETED screen.

*'''Decline''' It wasn't a DELETED, it was a 'do over', you can tell because Strong Bad re-does the email instead of just trashing it. [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]

====Falling for You====
When Homestar comments "I think I'm falling for you", it's a reference to the Weezer song "Falling For You" off the Pinkerton album.

Homestar eating coins might be a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy Family Guy] episode that aired the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.

VERDICT: After just over two weeks of voting, this fact was Accepted with 16 valid accept votes and 8 valid declines.

====Grammatically Incorrect====

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").
*<s>'''Accept''', yeah ok. makes sense to me</s> Actually, no. "Alright" is more or less an acceptable word. Besides, who says Strong Bad doesn't use slang? '''Decline'''-- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

*'''Decline''' Alright, is actually considered proper nowadays. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept first''' but '''Decline second''' The first one is good because it is incorrect and he uses it twice in the email, but the second one is the same thing that the sender emailed. And I dont think the part about "Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes" is important either. I guess my vote should be a Rewrite, but I can't think of a good way to write it right now.
**Let's just leave it at '''Declined'''. While "alright" isn't accepted as proper English by everyone, it appears in the dictionary, and using "different" instead of "differently" is exactly the kind of subtle mocking of his fans that Strong Bad does all the time.[[User:Kyushu|Kyushu]]
*'''Decline''' I use "alright" all the time. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 10:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

*'''Decline.''' I may dislike the word ''alright'', all right, but it's far from the first time Strong Bad has used it. And "do differently," while technically correct, is not worth a mention. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declime.''' Did you never notice how Strong Bad uses grammatically-incorrect phrases like "anydangway" and "TWELVE SIDED DIE'D!!" all the freakin' time? 22:01 17 May 05
**Not to diminish your point, but those aren't quite ungrammatical. The first is an example of [[Wikipedia:tmesis|tmesis]], and the second is an awkward noun-to-verb shift.

*'''Weak Decline or somethin'? I dunno''' - Not capitalizing parts of "The Cheat" is very common, since in the english language you must capitalize a noun, but people sometimes forget that "The Cheat" is one noun, thus making "the Cheat" or "The cheat", but "The Cheat" must be capitalized in two places. Very easy mistake. -- [[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] 11:13 AM, 21 May 2005

***Oh crap, sorry, what I meant to say was, you DO have to capitalize all proper nouns in English, not nouns.

In episode 2, Ryan S. goes to pick up a message (aka "treemail" on the show). While picking it up, he says, "The treemail, the treemail, wha wha the treemail," a play on the opening to [[techno]].

'''(B)'''The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to [[Ryan Sterritt]], a friend of the Brothers Chaps who has helped with the website in the past.

*'''Accept Both''' -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]]

*'''Accept Both''' -- They're both reasonable enough to mention. As a big fan of Survivor, I'd love to accept A and decline B, but I must say that B seems a bit more likely, given that A is a connection that few people would make (Ryan S. appeared on the show a total of three times), whereas B would at least be noticed by the "Ryan S." in question. Who knows for sure... but it must be a reference to something, so we should provide some hypothetical explanation. - Dingell

====Computer miscommunications====
At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad tells Compy not to give him any cross talk. This is refering to the transient signal interference that comes from two wires running parallel to each other which can cause erroneous signals to be sent/received. (I welcome rewrite suggestions)

*'''Revise.''' Uhh...I ''sort of'' catch your meaning. -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 04:03, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Revise.''' Just say "Crosstalk referes to the transient...etc". [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second''', to all of the above. --SBEmail22 8:42 PM, 5 May 2005 (EST)
*'''Revise''' You can use this or not, I don't care, but when he said "cross talk," I always assumed it meant something more along the lines of "sassin' back", or being generally argumentative and uncooperative. But if that means what you said it means, then that could be a reference, too. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 05:08, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Decline.''' I assumed that as well. And yes, "crosstalk" DOES mean that, but I don't think it applies here - I think it's just an odd coincidence. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 14:34, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' Since it's more of an electrical engineering and telephony term rather than a computer term, I'm inclined to think this wasn't intentional. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 20:14, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' I disagree. I think that's exactly why he said "crosstalk" to the Compy. Otherwise he would have said "cut the sass" or something to that effect without using the word "crosstalk". --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
*'''Revise.''' Should go something like this: --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 14:57, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) 
<pre>At the beginning of the e-mail, Strong Bad tells the Compy not to give
him any crosstalk. Crosstalk is when a signal transmitted on two parallel
wires creates an undesired effect (in this case, the Compy saying, "Cut
it out, you."</pre>
*'''Exobably not.''' I think he's just telling his Compy to cut the sass. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 13:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**So you think they just pulled the term "crosstalk" out of thin air? I'd say this is definitely an '''Accept''', preferably with some small revisions to the sentence structure. - Dingell
***Not really. I realize crosstalk is a computer term, and SB might as well, but it seems that he's using it in the way I described above. I don't know if that makes sense. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:54, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
****The fact doesn't say the reason why they used the phrase, it just explains what the technical definition for crosstalk. Dingell is right, its use (whether they used it properly or not) is not a coincidence. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''No.''' I think he means like "backtalk." [[User:TakuaKaita600|TK600]] 19:58, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Commentary by: ME!!!'''ok ok ok, this is what I think SB's trying to say: he's telling the conputer to quit talking back but he's referring to crosstalk and misusing it. Sorry it's badly worded but it's kinda complicated--[[User:Because, It's Midnite|Because, It's Midnite]]

1-Up getting a green nosebleed is a nod to the [[Wikipedia:Nosebleed#Nosebleeds in fiction|anime cliche]] that excited or aroused people get nosebleeds or "hanaji".

With sounds synced to "Event" (the default) if it plays too slowly on an old computer it just takes longer to play, making the sound lose sync. I guess they just forgot to turn it on this time. Perhaps "The sounds for Strong Bad singing and the planes rushing past are not set as Streaming audio, and can lose sync on slower computers" would work as a Fun Fact? Actually the harp for Downloads is the only sound that is streamed, but these are the only two you can notice.

====Who is John Bozar?====
Bozar's huge cranium, love of bizarre magical pranks, and insulting manner of addressing the heroes of the show bears a strong resemblance to the antics of [[Wikipedia:Mr_Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]], a derby-wearing, fifth-dimensional imp and Superman antagonist who periodically appeared in Metropolis to pester the Last Son of Krypton with his reality-altering powers.

:He also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|the Great Gazoo]] from The Flintstones.

:He also resembles a megalomaniacal antagonist from the 90's show [[Wikipedia:Mighty Max|Mighty Max]] called [http://omegacron.com/mighty_max/enemies.htm Dr. Zygote], who had an oversized brain/head, alien-like features, and would construct elaborate schemes to rule/destroy humanity.

:He appears to be saying 'Muddle me twice' at the begining of his line, which is similar to Batman villain The Riddler's (in his various incarnations) catchphrase of 'riddle me this'.

:He may have been partly inspired by the similar alien character [[Wikipedia:Q_%28Star_Trek%29|Q]] from Star Trek: The Next Generation, who occasionally made an appearance, much to the annoyance of Captain Picard.

==== Alternative vs. Hair Metal ====
The dialog at the end of the cartoon about Limozeen (who are parody of 80's Hair Metal Bands) being kicked off the charts by an Alternative band that has a girl as a bassist, etc. is most likely a reference to the fact that by the early 1990's people were tired of the excesses of Hair Metal bands and the popularity of that genre was already on the wane. Alternative Rock bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer (SP had 2 female bassists, Weezer's lead singer wears glasses) which were generally considered by many music critics to be smarter, hipper and closer to the roots of what rock is all about, put the nail in the coffin of the L.A. Glam Metal scene.

Since no one can apparently agree to a consensus on this one, I'll try a revised version.

The mentioning of Limozeen being kicked off the charts by an alternative band with a girl bassist references the death of hair metal in the early '90s, when bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins (who actually had a girl bassist) were able to have success.

With that, I say this needs to be mentioned, because not everyone knows about exactly what happened. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

====Cut the Crusts====
In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the 80s metal band Dokken, whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."

*'''Decline.''' The tune is '''not''' the same as the Dokken song, and without the tune being the same this is too much of a stretch. -[[User:166.102.250.139|166.102.250.139]] 23:23, 20 Feb 2005 (EST)
*'''Accept, um, sorta''' In the Strong Bad Email [[Band Names]], Strong Bad suggests Dokken as a good band name, it's still kind of a stretch, but it's a possible reference.
*'''Accept''' Homestar very well may have been singing off-key.[[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]
**'''Comment from original poster''' Homestar has shown he can at least get close to the proper key and note, even though the humor is his singing bites. If you listen to the difference in the notes in the opening line "Alone Again" and the "I cut the crusts off" line in "origins", they aren't even close. Much of the notes aren't even close to being the same length. This is not an intentional Dokken reference musically, and it would be false to think only Dokken has ever mentioned doing or wanting something in the morning light. -[[User:162.39.226.54|162.39.226.54]] (dynamic IP, maybe I should sign up...)

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --24.21.86.243 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

*'''Accept''' However, I think another important thing is the fact that if the clock does not have an AM/PM indicator, then Homestar would have had to set him clock after 10 AM (because, obviously, you can't set a clock like that any more than 12 hours in advance), further proving how...ahem... absent-minded he is.
*'''Decline''' I think we're trying to make a very complicated issue out of a very subtle joke - with no indicator, he COULDN'T have set it for AM or PM, in which case, his statement isn't false, it's just stupid... which isn't surprising coming from Homestar. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:43, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath.

*I get what you're saying. But I don't like the 2nd sentence. --[[User: Lappy 486]]
*'''Strong Decline''' This happenes all the time with the Compy. --[[User:BenRK|BenRK]] 18:31, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' As far as I can tell, Strong Bad's computers don't follow the "rules" in any regular way. I didn't notice this, but if I had I would have taken it as part of the joke. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:49, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

==== Quote of the Day (or so) ====
Shortly after the release of this e-mail the format of the Quote of the Week box was changed to include the character's image and transcription of the quote. However, this change was not copied for the fake box in this e-mail.

====The Compy's Reign====
This email marks the end of the Compy's 78-email reign. What's interesting about this is that the Tandy was used by Strong Bad for only 40, and the Compy outlived it by almost twice that.
*'''Decline.''' This is a comment, not a fact. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:23, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment.''' Actually, leave out "What's interesting about this is that" and it's all fact. --[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 07 Apr 2005
*'''Revise.''' Strike the second sentence and add a link to [[Compy 386]]. --[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 07 Apr 2005

*'''Declination''' Isnt this already noted in the page somewhere? And if not, it is a little obvious.--[[User:-erson|Posted by -erson ]] 22:52, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Rewrite''' It is gewd to tell exactly how many emails it lasted, but I'm not sure about the second part. Actually, I go with tomstiff. [[User: Lappy 486]]
*'''Decline''' I don't think that there is any significance in mentioning this. Possibly is could go on the [[Compy 386]] page instead, but definately not here. - [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 7 May, 2005
*Decline This is way to obvious to need noting. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Comment.''' Number one, you used "to" in the wrong context. Number two, is it really obvious? I mean, can anyone just look at the SBEmail menu and automaticaly say "Oh, there are 78 Compy SBEmails" even if they've never seen a SBEmail in their life? It's not like there's a glaring sign saying "78 COMPY SBEMAILS, 40 TANDY SBEMAILS". -- [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:54, 18 May 2005
*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much is obvious. As for tandy having 40 e-mails and compy having 78, that belongs on the strong bad e-mails article, not the virus one. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Weak Accept / Rewrite''' - I also second AtionSong's vote. If you revise it by making it seem like a fact rather than just a comment, as stated above, then it comes together as a solid fact. It's not a signifigant detail, but it's worth noting. At least to me. [[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] - 11:16 PM, 21 May 2005

====Bubs' Belt====
At one point of the email Bubs' belt disappears. I think that this may be because his belt is basically the same color as the grass. It would have the same effect as if there were a green-screen: it would disappear.

Blue Laser Commander

2005-05-27T02:00:52Z

single deuce:

[[Image:BL_Commander.PNG|thumb|right|220px|CRUSH THE CHEAT COMMANDOS!]]

The '''Blue Laser commander''' (a.k.a. 'Blue Laser') is the evil mastermind behind [[Blue Laser]], an evil terrorist-type organization. His sworn enemies are [[The Cheat Commandos]]. He has a high-pitched, screechy British accent. The only differences between his uniform and that of his lackeys are that his patches are red while the lackeys' patches are blue, and that he lacks a visor. He also has an eye patch that switches sides whenever he turns around, due to the fact that Cheat Commandos is just a badly animated 30 minute commercial disguised as a cartoon.

As the commanding force of an evil league of violence, the Commander naturally has several plans for world domination. In Cheat Commandos, he has his men build and guard a satellite dish, so that he could... do something (unfortunately, the Cheat Commandos destroyed the satellite dish with a devastating rocket that left a sole survivor).

He also had a plan to blow up the ocean, [[Cheat Commandos Commercial|"Operation Ocean Blow"]], as well as a plan code-named "Operation Don't Crush Ourselves" in which he had several lackeys guard a cave so he could... umm... do... something very evil, I'm sure. Unfortunately, this operation also failed, again due to the Cheat Commandos.

His most deadly plot was in [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] when he faked a report of his base relocating to a secret desert, when in actuality, he had relocated to his Nana's backyard. His plan almost succeeded, but then [[Crackotage]] dropped the Cheat Commandos a box of Cheat Commandos O's, saving them from exhaustion.

His most recent plan was to buy cleaning products on Double Coupon Day at the [[Price Style|Price Style supermarket]], since he believed that the main reason he couldn't defeat the Cheat Commandos was mildew.

Blue Laser Commander is well disposed to extreme exclaimations of joy or frustration, to wit: "FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!", "Well that's JUST GREAT!!", "I just hate you SO MUCH!", "WHAT THE CRAP?!?!", and [[Shopping for Danger|"Old ladies SUCK!"]]

*His design is a reference to Cobra Commander and various shows and games where the eyepatch switches sides.

Visor Robot

single deuce: added fhqwhgads robot

[[Image:visorcheat.png|thumb|The Visor Robot, as depicted by The Cheat]] [[Image:visor robot.png|frame|Voip!]]

'''The Visor Robot''' seems to have been inspired by the robot Maximilian from Disney's "The Black Hole." His voice seems to be very similiar to that of "Microsoft Sam" for Windows XP. He is not related to [[The Robot]]. He was also referred to as "fhqwhgads robot" in the [[Weekly Sketchbook]] for April 28, 2005.

There are several clues that Visor Robot is not actually a robot, including the "Not a Robot" disclaimer from [[Senor Mortgage]] and the fact that in [[Homestarloween Party]] he possesses a human brain, technically making him a cyborg.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This short is making fun of TV mortgage ads, specifically ones that have witty phone numbers that are included in the jingle. (For example "770-915-1234-OPEN-THE-DOOR")
*The character that appears in this short is Senor Cardgage, who is not to be confused with [[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]]. This is acknowledged by its description in the [[Toons Menu]]: "Wait, is Senor Cardgage real!?!"
*Senor Cardgage calls the robot "Valerie" because of his habit of referring to everyone as ladies even though they're not, as Creepy Combover Strong Bad does in [[kind of cool]].

===Trivia===
*The phone number 555-55-55855-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY would translate as 555-55-55855-55-5-73667-6678-4243-86329. "TODAY" is part of the phone number, but meant to be part of the jingle.
*The cubicle in the background is from [[dullard]] and, later, [[other days]].
*The classified ads in the beginning are apparently actual real estate listings from [[Wikipedia:The New York Times|the New York Times]] for the East Coast. While it's largely illegible, one can make out headings for [[Wikipedia:Westchester County, New York|Westchester]], [[Wikipedia:Nassau County, New York|Nassau]], and [[Wikipedia:Suffolk County, New York|Suffolk]] Counties (all in [[Wikipedia:New York|New York State]]), [[Wikipedia:Manhattan|Manhattan]], [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts|Massachusetts]], [[Wikipedia:Vermont|Vermont]], [[Wikipedia:Maine|Maine]], [[Wikipedia:Maryland|Maryland]], [[Wikipedia:Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], and [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]].
*The robot voice in Senor Mortgage is actually [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Sam|Microsoft Sam]] from the program [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Narrator|Microsoft Narrator]].
*This 'toon is one of the last ones to have the old non-flash Navigation Bar.

===Remarks===
*"No probalo" is a mangled version of the phrase "no problemo", which is mock-Spanish for 'no problem'. (Actual Spanish would be "no ''hay problema''".)
*Senor Cardgage's creepy comb-over switches sides when he talks to the [[Visor Robot]] (it switches back though, after he moves his head) and again at the very end as he is walking forward while the phone number jingle is being sung.
*The jingle has the same chord progression as [[Wikipedia:The Isley Brothers|The Isley Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Twist and Shout|"Twist and Shout"]].

'''Strong Bad Email #106'''

On receiving an e-mail about [[Dangeresque]] 3, Strong Bad, who hasn't made it yet, gives us a director's cut of Dangeresque 1 instead.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''':''{singing}'' Oh, here comes little e-mail, with a gun in his hand...

''{reading}''
<pre>hi there strong bad,

i was just wondering, when is dangeresque 3 comeing out?

yours truly,
john newell, on</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "comeing" as it is written (replete with spelling mistake), viz. "koh-may-ing". He also pronounces "john newell, on" (Ontario) as "johnny well, on"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. I left my Johnny Well on. ''{He deletes "on" and types "off".}'' Johnny Well: off. ''{We hear the sound of a large machine powering down.}'' Man! Peoples won't leave me alone about this one. ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay, okay. Dangeresque 3 production update! Day 114: Things are comeing ''{again pronounced "koh-may-ing"}'' along right on schedule. So far, we seem to have only hit one major snag. Um, and that is I haven't um, ''{as he types, the text gets smaller}'' made Dangeresque 3 yet. ''{text size returns to normal}'' But, before you start throwing full wine bottles at your computer screen, let me offer this as a cop-out: the digitally remastered director's cut of: ''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?''

''{We cut to Strong Bad wearing his Dangeresque glasses, sitting in the Gremlin, pretending to drive and humming the Dangeresque theme tune. The Cheat repeatedly runs by in the background holding a small tree to give the impression of movement. A sign is held up in front of the camera, moving around a little, reading: Dangeresque 1: "Dangeresque, Too?" followed by another, reading "Not in 3-D".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{makes telephone ringing noises}'' Oh, my car phone. {''He picks up a VCR with a phone cord coming out of it.''} You got Dangeresque. Who this is?

''{Cut to Coach Z in his Renaldo costume. He is looking straight at the camera.}''

'''COACH Z''': Now?

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{whispering, off-screen}'' Yeah, go, go.

'''COACH Z''': ''{turns away from the camera and holds an unplugged phone receiver up to his ear}'' Dangeresque, it's Renaldo. I need you back here away, right? I mean, right away.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{off-screen}'' Uh, I'm in a car right now, but I can drive it to the office.

'''COACH Z''': Sounds like a plan. ''{turns back to the camera}'' How was tha –

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his car.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hang on, car phone! Get ready for some fancy driving!

''{Strong Bad makes the sound of a car squealing around corners while the camera moves left to make it seem as if he's moving forwards. One of the Gremlin's hubcaps rolls from the left of the screen. We then cut to the office. Strong Bad opens the door and walks in.}''

'''COACH Z''': What took you so long?

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh, I had to swing by Cool Weapons Surplus for a new nunchaku gun. ''{Holds up a gun with nunchakus taped to it.}'' And a Reesy Cup milkshake. ''{Holds up a milkshake cup with "Reesy Cup" printed on it.}''

'''COACH Z''': Well, anyways, I called you in to meet your new partner: Dangeresque, too?

''{The camera pans right to Homestar Runner, wearing sunglasses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': The name's Dangeresque. Nice to meet ya.

'''STRONG BAD''': Whaaa?

'''COACH Z''': Dangeresque!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah? 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What? ''{simultaneously}''

''{They both turn and glare at each other to the accompaniment of a shock riff made by Strong Bad over the top.}''

'''COACH Z''': Perducci's intercepted the serum at the border! ''{He holds up the newspaper from Stunt Double, this time with a taped-on headline reading "PERDUCCI IS THE BAD GUY".}'' If that serum doesn't make it through, they'll kidnap Cutesy Buttons!

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{shaking fists}'' Perducci!

''{Cut to Homestar and Strong Bad playing squash in the basement (with Strong Bad's rendition of the Dangeresque theme tune as an accompaniment). Homestar serves the ball and they play a frantic volley, which Strong Bad wins.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{removes sunglasses}'' What is your malfunction?

'''STRONG BAD''': Let's get one thing straight, meatball... face... butt: I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo... Which is all the time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh yeah? Well, you need me because I'm the only one that knows where Perducci is, and where that is is that he is... in... Istanbul.

'''STRONG BAD''': Istanbul! Of course!

''{Blackout fade to an expanse of meadow in Free Country, USA, with a musical interlude from Strong Bad. Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are standing next to the Cheat, who is wearing a sign saying "Istanbul".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Perducci's got to be here around in Istanbul somewhere.

'''STRONG BAD''': I hope you're right. We’ve got to get that serum through...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's ask this passers-by.

''{Strong Sad walks by, holding a sandwich.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What do you know about Perducci, doughboy?

'''STRONG SAD''': Ugh, I told you guys already I'm not going to be in your stupid movie!

''{The frame "jumps." Same shot, but now Strong Bad is holding Strong Sad's sandwich.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What do you know about Perducci?

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{reluctantly}'' Only that I am not one of his minions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, thanks anyways. Move it along, hot tub!

''{Strong Sad walks out.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': That stranger seemed to know a little bit too little about Perducci...

''{With another musical interlude, blackout fade to Strong Sad and the King of Town (who is silhouetted), on top of Bubs' Concession Stand. The King of Town is wearing a bowler hat.}''

'''KING OF TOWN''': What? Two Dangeresques? ''{He turns to the camera, revealing that he is wearing a blue coat, sunglasses and a name-tag reading "hello my name is perducci".}'' Well, they'll still be no match for my secret weapon!

''{Cut to a silhouetted Strong Mad, whose gleaming white eyes are the only visible feature of his body. Strong Bad makes a scary tune over the top, then sings the first two notes of the Dangeresque theme song as we cut to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad standing on top of a large piece of cardboard made up to look like a tall building, holding a horizontal rope. The frame "jumps" again to the same shot, but rotated ninety degrees so that it looks as if the Dangeresques are climbing the building.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Once we get to the top of this high-scraper, we'll hopefully be able to throw some people off. Maybe even Perducci.

''{They continue to "climb". As Homestar's glasses fall onto the cardboard, we quickly cut to the top of the Concession Stand, where the Dangeresques meet the King of Town.}''

'''KING OF TOWN''': Dangeresque!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah? 
'''STRONG BAD''': What? ''{simultaneously}''

'''KING OF TOWN''': Allow me to introduce you to both my secret weapon and your doom: Killingyouguy!

''{Strong Mad appears, raising his arms menacingly. The M on his singlet has been replaced with "KILLINGYOUGUY" and two post-its with a bullet hole and a scar drawn on have been stuck to his face. Strong Bad imitates a guitar screech over the top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh. Gad.

'''STRONG BAD''': That guy is tall.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & STRONG BAD''': You take the big guy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': The pipes are broken!

''{He leaps off. We cut to Homestar, suspended by a rope, whirling around and kicking Strong Sad repeatedly in the face. Strong Sad has a paper bag with Strong Mad's face, a bullet hole and a scar drawn on it on his head and is wearing his singlet.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{one exclamation on each hit}'' Oof! Ow! Ouff! Ouwh! Getting! Dizzy! Blacking! Out! Oof! Geez! Oouf!

''{We then cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z (silhouetted) and Homestar (looking down on the fallen Strong Mad).}''

'''COACH Z''': Nice work there, Dangeresque!

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Thanks. Ahahahaha.

''{Marzipan, as Cutesy Buttons, approaches Coach Z, holding a glass of iced tea, with ice cubes and mint bobbing on the surface.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Mmm. Thanks for the serum, boys. Now I won't be kidnapped.

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh no...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & STRONG BAD''': ...looks like we're going to have to jump!

''{They both jump off the Concession Stand and end in a freeze frame, silhouetted against a sunset. The credits roll while Strong Bad sings.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Today is all right for tonight... 
Riding in a Corvette, feeling all right, 
Today is all right for tonight! 
Today is all right for tonight... 
Riding in a Corvette, feeling all right, 
All right for tonight!

''{We cut to pictures of Strong Bad with Strong Sad's sandwich and Strong Sad protesting in the background; The Cheat washing the Gremlin while Strong Bad holds the sandwich; and The Cheat painting Strong Mad black on top of the Concession Stand. Then the screen turns black and both Dangeresques' cool glasses appear on the screen. "The End?" appears underneath them. The song ends and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on Strong Bad's Dangeresque glasses at the end and you can download "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]", a song from the movie made by [[Strong Bad]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*At the end of [[stunt double]], Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective was said to be coming out in June 2004, which is when this e-mail came out. Also, it was supposed to be 'In 3D', which is why the sign says 'not in 3D' at the beginning of this one.
===Trivia===
*Killingyouguy was played by Strong Mad and stunt-doubled by Strong Sad, but is listed in the credits as "Himself".
*Strong Sad, who played Passerby or "Hot Tub" is listed in the credits as El Dumpo.
*This email was originally titled "dangeresque3" (without the space) but was changed within hours to "dangeresque 3".
*The file sbemail106.swf is the biggest email to date, coming in at 1265KB. The only other emails that have come in over 1MB are "[[japanese cartoon]]", at 1131KB; "[[date]]", at 1032KB; and "[[haircut]]", at 1066KB. The large size is mostly due to the 3 frames of TV static (167KB from those 3 frames alone), and the noisy still image (287KB) at the end.
*The nunchaku gun has no trigger.

===Inside References===
*The sound effect of "John Newell OFF" is the same one used when Strong Sad passed out in [[caffeine]].
*Strong Bad's line "I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo. Which is all the time" is a line from [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Dangeresque's door reads (backwards) ''DANGERESQUE Private Eye/Crooked Cop'' which is also a throw to the Strong Bad Sings CD.
*The [[The VCR|VCR]] used for the car phone is from [[12:00]] and the [[Character Videos]] page.
*The Newspaper is from [[stunt double]].
**To read the exact text of the newspaper, see trivia in [[stunt double]].
*"I'm gonna have to jump!" is a reference to the [[stunt double]], as is the whole e-mail.
*The Name Tag that The King of Town wears is from [[The Luau]].
*The car is the [[Gremlin]] from [[Homestarloween Party]].
*Strong Bad saying "That guy is tall" may be a reference to [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] where Homestar said, "Alright, this guy is tall."
*The Cheat's "Istanbul" costume is a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]] where his "[[The Popular Vote|Popular Vote]]" costume looks almost the same.
*Although Strong Bad is such a stickler for grammar (as seen in many of his emails), many times during the movie the characters use incorrect grammar.
*In the movie Strong Bad is driving his car, which he admits he doesn't have in e-mail 101: "[[car]]"

*"The pipes are broken!" is Homestar trying to say "Tatsu Maki Sen Puu Kyaku", a move from Street Fighter usually called the Hurricane Kick in US versions. This is because the characters in Street Fighter II are very hard to understand and sound like they're saying something else.
*Homestar's "shades" are Venetian blinds-style, and may have been inspired by the movie [[imdb:tt0094072|"Summer School"]].
