AgentSeethroo: Added muhself.

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.

AgentSeethroo: /* ''Who's line is it Anyway?'' */ NO. IT'S NOT.

Turns out [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] isn't just for your computer. Here's a bunch of appearances and references from the television!

=== ''Aaron's 499 (NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, May 1, 2005)'' ===

An announcer described a 17-car wreck as "crazy go nuts."

=== ''Angel'' ===
[[Image:thegirlinquestion161.jpg|thumb|Andrew, like Strong Bad, does not understand the ladies.]]
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
[[Image:chosen164.jpg|thumb|Trogdor vs. Scoobies]]
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm — I'm — I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just —

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''CNN Student News'' ===

On CNN Headline News, there is this short news magazine called [http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/fyi/index.html/ CNN Student News]. On the December 15th 2004 edition, in one of the stories it shows what appears to be a trooper in Iraq getting a toy for Christmas from someone. The toy is a The Cheat plush toy.

=== ''d'FUSED'' ===

March 12th, 2005 at approximately 1:20 pm 
Featured on ''' Addict'd to Gaming''' 
A segment on Red Vs. Blue showed the cast of Homestar Runner in their real-world, plastic figurine state atop the preview monitor for a Red Vs. Blue episode.

=== ''Daytona 500 2005'' ===

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
[[Image:Bloostar.PNG.PNG|thumb|100px|Bloostar Runner!]]
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks freakishly similar to Homestar appears. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it! If you have "TiVo" you can slow it down a bit.

The episode "A Sight For Sore Eyes" is very similar to [[Old Intro 2]] at the ending.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", Strong Bad Emails are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

=== ''Invader Zim'' ===

In the episode "Gaz, Taster of Pork," On the Franken Chokie box there is a [http://www.badbadrubberpiggy.com/caps/template-zim-caps.php?img=/images/caps/iz45/large/iz45-00075.jpg picture] of Bubs' head on the side. Of course this may be cooincidental as the series has been known to use many bubs-esqe characters.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game, a Falcons' victory, one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta, Patrick Kearny, points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to [[Coach Z]].

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Monster House'' ===
In an episode of Monster House called "[http://www.tvtome.com/MonsterHouse/season1.html#ep18 Sports House]," the host Steve is wearing a Strong Bad T-shirt during the introductions. This episode first aired February 2, 2004.

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

=== ''Super Size Me'' ===
In the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0390521|Super Size Me]]'', there are a group of kids at the computer where one is watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' ===

Leno was showing examples of absurd eBay auctions and having the audience guess whether they sold or not. One of them was a laptop that had been shot with a shotgun. It's subject line said "LIKE USED! SLIGHTLY SHOTGUNNED!" from [[virus]]. It sold.

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

=== ''Super Size Me'' ===
In the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0390521|Super Size Me]]'', there are a group of kids at the computer where one is watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' ===

Leno was showing examples of absurd eBay auctions and having the audience guess whether they sold or not. One of them was a laptop that had been shot with a shotgun. It's subject line said "LIKE USED! SLIGHTLY SHOTGUNNED!" from [[virus]]. It sold.

===''Who's line is it Anyway?''===
Drew Cary said once "This next skit is for everybody, everybody!"

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

AgentSeethroo:

Are you Lord Karkon?

Now my dearest Princess, how could you believe this charlatan could be the quite amazing d00dxor whom you knew as Lord Karkon, who StrongRad knew as "That guy who doesn't like you", who teachers knew as "The Spawn of Satan"? Why, you should know that I had about 3000 viruses on my computer as well as massive surgery, but that wouldn't cause me to put a "pikach" in front of my name. I plan to return soon, but not as a pikachu-person like this pokemon-man... or should it be a poke-man? -Lord Karkon, who lives on in the memories of his imaginary friends.

Well, actually I'm not a Poke-Man. Just a Pika-Man, really.

== Dubious reference solution ==

Over the past few Strongbad e-mail articles, I've read a lot of (to be frank) farfetched suggestions of references that TBCs are presumably making to other stuff. Maybe, if you're 100% sure that something is intended as a reference (for example, a character name or line very specific to one TV show), then it's fine to say it's a reference. But if something just seems to remind you of something else (for example, a song that sounds kinda-sorta like a song that was played in the 23rd episode of some TV series), then it's more accurate to say that it is '''reminiscent''' of something, rather than a reference to something.

Just a suggestion.

:A wonderful suggestion, and it goes along with the ongoing discussion we are having regarding the overhaul of our current fun fact system. Thank you for your concern and idea.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:52, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Locking down the main page ==

I visited today and noticed that the main page had been defaced. Someone else restored the last known good version, but it seems to me that the front page should not be editable by just anyone for this exact reason. Even the main page of Wikipedia is off-limits to anyone except staff...
:Yes, I want the main page protected as well... [[User:woddfellow2|<nowiki></nowiki>]]-<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|?</tt>]] 14:05, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)
-It happened again. This must be done NOW.

:Look, the template does nothing to prevent trolling; it's a redundancy. Locking down the Main Page is a good way to go, since nothing really changes there, anyway. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 14:26, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

I find it funny how the MediaWiki's been around for at least 5 months now and only NOW are people starting to complain about wanting the Main Page locked down. Personally, I think it's prime idiot bait, as in "if you deface the main page, you're automatically not fit to be on the wiki." --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:02, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

You could have a way to detect whether someone is severely defaceing the page or not. --[[User:67.161.224.65|67.161.224.65]]

::Okay, due to several requests and the seeming lack of need to update the Main Page, I've protected it. Please note that I do not like having it protected, this being a wiki and all, but I agree that it really doesn't need to be edited that much and is just sitting there as troll fodder. Thanks to all who helped with that last batch of defacement.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:12, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::I never change the main page, so I'm pretty happy with that, but I do have one concern. Might the Trollers who automatically go to work on the Main Page to start with, now be forced to move onto smaller, harder to detect defacements on other pages? What if we're only spreading the diease? [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|?Thunderbird?]]</tt>'']] 18:46, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::A good concern, and lucky for me I have this wonderful ditty to cite:
::::''...the fact is that for every troll with too much spare time, there are 100 users with just as much spare time ready and eager to undo that troll's (un)work. The fact is, the trolls always get bored before the users do, because the users are emotionally invested in what they've created and the Wiki moves fast enough that the average trolling only lasts about two minutes before it's reverted. A troll's work is hardly ever noticed by anybody, but a legitimate user's work is always noticed and appreciated. That's why wikis work. — InterruptorJones 15:37, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)'' ([[User_talk:FireBird#Question_from_Troll|ref]])

Well, I want to edit the main page. I have a feature in mind that I think would be appreciated by all (I know I'll use it), but would require a little updating every now and again. How about you just make the main page editable by registered members? Disallow guests from editing it. I await the unlocking to reveal my idea.

== Confusion over moving dates ==

The [[Main Page]] says that HRWiki will be moving 'from early Friday morning (Feb. 25) to late Sunday evening (Feb. 27)', but every other page says 'early Friday morning (Mar. 4) to late Sunday evening (Mar. 6)'. Someone should probably fix that on the main page, as it appears it's not closed presently. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 05:04, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Favorite Character List ==
It think it might be nice if some o' you guys set up a "Most Popular Character" page to find out who are the most popular main characters in the Homestar Runner universe. There seems to be enough wiki users here to get an accurate idea. In this page, people would say who their favorite character is on the talk section (and their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc favorite as well if they want.) and then someone would add them all up into a graph to show who are the most/least popular character and so on. (And remember, MAIN characters only) To keep things simple, it could be a character would get 8 "popularity points" for being a first favorite, 7 for second, 6 for third, and so on. Whoever gets the highest popularity points goes in the most favorite section. Also, only registered users count. I dunno... this could be difficult and messy and inaccuriate, but if done right it could be very interesting.
Anyways... opinions anyone? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:46, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Sorry, but this here's a vote for no. I think it could be a good idea under a different venu, such as the [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page Fanstuff Wiki], or perhaps a poll in the [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ Forum]. But since this is simply a knowledge base, it wouldn't really fit in too well.

== Article of the day? ==

Why not have a featured article like Wikipedia?

:We don't have any featured articles, so we couldn't have a featured article of the day.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:49, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

::We could do it like the Fark.com [http://216.32.91.95/Main_Page Wiki] does it. Each month has 7 articles (one for each day of the week) that rotate around every week (with a new set every month).

<nowiki>== Featured article ==</nowiki> 
<nowiki>{{HRWiki:Featured article/{{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTMONTH}}}}</nowiki>

:I Think the second one should be used. I prefer it over the one that's up now. And I also like the green "wiki". That logo looks really, really nice. But as for the first one... I don't know, the drop shadow just doesn't look H*Rish, and it's good to see H*R (the character) on the logo. In conclusion... the second one. --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 01:52, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==Scared of 1.4.0==
I'm scared of this upgrading to 1.4.0 
I didn't like what it did to the fanstuff. Because... 
1. Different font. It's smaller and I don't like it as much. 
2. History erased. I expecially do not want that to happen. Not to mention it could leave some page histery blank, making them targets for non-revertable trolling. 
So, what I'm trying to say, is that if you can't get past these two problems, I think I'd prefer this wiki staying in the 1.3's. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 18:37, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
::I ran an upgrade to 1.4 a week ago on a pretty big wiki (~200 articles), it went seamlessly. The main page was defaulted, but that was easily reversible through history. Other than that, it shouldn't mess anything up. My thoughts, go ahead and do the upgrade.
:::Well, look at what happened to Fanstuff Wiki. Almost all history was erased, the font is smaller and uploading pictures doesn't work. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 06:20, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Character Evolution, The Stick ==

I posted the first of my suggestions on the discussion page for the FAQ, which of course was not the right place. If it doesn't make any sense what I am about to say, maybe how I worded it there does.

===Suggestion #1: Character Evolution===

In the [[Character Evolution]] pages, we should not treat the Yello Dello and Reddest Radish versions as designs. We shouldn't even include them on the page (perhaps in a sub-section "Other ways so-and-so has been drawn") because these were NEVER solid designs, they were never intended to be and simply aren't. The ''designs'' themselves are valid when talking about the Reddest Radish but they are still not necessary for the page.

===Suggestion #2: The Stick===

I believe that the Stick should not be treated as an Inside Joke, but rather as a full-fledged 'place.' I think it's earned that title, don't you?

Ok, so everyone leave your thoughts, comment or whatever here. I hope to get these suggestions used.

EDIT: I also believe that [[fhqwhgads]] should return to beign an inside joke.

*I agree with all three of those. Reddest Radish and Yello Dello aren't real designs. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:41, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==Editing issues==

For some reason, I can't edit the WikiTroll page. In fact, I can't even edit its talk page! I'm not banned (I can edit other pages just fine.) Every time I try to edit those pages, though, it informs me that I'm trying to edit a page that's just been edited - even though there's no new edit on the Recent Changes page or anywhere else. I was trying to add [[User:160.7.1.12|160.7.1.12]], a repeat offender who defaced [[long pants]] and [[Strong Bad Email]]. Can anyone else edit the WikiTroll page? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:31, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)
:It's a result of the move to MediaWiki 1.4. Lots of people are having problems editing certain pages, including the [[HRWiki:WikiTroll Archive|WikiTroll Archive]], [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]], [[japanese cartoon]], and most importantly [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] and [[HRWiki Talk:WikiTroll|Talk:WikiTroll]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email, check it, come on, come on, y'all. Email check it, come on, come on, y'all.

<pre>subject: Overdue rampage
Der Ong-stray ad-bay,
I thinks it's been entirely too long since you went on a
rampage.
Sincerely Peter,</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after reading}'' ...comma. ''{typing}'' Well, Epressing-day Erd-nay, I thinks it's been entirely too long since you consulted your M.L.A. handbook! ''{clears screen, returns typing}'' Eh, so maybe it has been a while since my last rampage. But that doesn't mean I'm goin' soft or nothin'. I've just grown more selective of the types of rampages on which I go. Like the other freakin' day: me and Strong Mad went on a Reading Rampage.

''{Strong Mad and Strong Bad are seen on The Couch with many books stacked around them. Strong Mad is holding a waffle that reads "BUG" in syrup, and Strong Bad reads "Smart Investing for Jerks". The waffle drips syrup onto the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this book really speaks to me. In like, ''{flips book upside-down}'' a couple of different languages, even.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS BOOK IS TOO LONG!
(strong bad slightly winces)
''{Back at the computer, Strong Bad keeps typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? It's not all rampage-stompin'-boy style rampages. The pie's the limit as far as rampages are concerned. Why, ye could go on a ''regal'' rampage.

''{Strong Bad appears in The King of Town's Castle, wearing a blanket around his neck, holding a staff and wearing The King of Town's crown. The crownless King of Town stands nearby.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Whacking king with scepter}'' I bequeath thee! I bequeath thee! I bequeath thee!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{While getting whacked}'' Ow! Ow! One more!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising scepter}'' Ye hath quivered me tuppence!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Oops, you lost me!

''{Strong Bad whacks King with scepter two more times.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{While getting whacked}'' OW! OW!

'''STRONG BAD''' ''{Voice-over}'' Ooh, ooh! Or how about a legal rampage?

''{Cut to the outside of Homestar's House, with Homestar peeking out the door and Strong Bad walking in in a business suit with a bunch of papers}''

'''STRONG BAD''' This is a sub-po-ena! ''{throws papers onto steps}'' I summons exhibit 4B to my chambers!

'''HOMESTAR''' Sustained! ''{pulls out judge's gavel and hits himself 3 times, accompanied by sound effects}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And don't forget the lyrical rampages that me and Coach Z are ''always'' going on. Or more like, going OOORRRRFF! ''{The last word is said in a fake Coach Z accent.}''

''(Cut to the Stage, where Strong Bad and Coach Z are standing with microphones. Music is playing in the background)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' I've got problems with my feet and my back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' I'm about to have a dope rhyme attack!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' Coach Z, rock all type of sports!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm on a rampage!

'''COACH Z:''' And if you don't believe me, you can get with the Chort!

''(Cut to the Cheat, who is stratching on a children's record player. Then Strong Sad enters. The music cuts off)''

'''STRONG SAD:''' May I please ask how repeating the same four words constitutes a lyrical rampage?

'''STRONG BAD:''' May ''I'' please ask how a round mound of gray fatness constitutes a younger brother? I'm on a rampage!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But what about rules of verse? Iambic pentameter is where it's at! Hit it, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angrily}'' Meh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I dunno, drop some beats or something.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, they're gonna have to be fat beats in your case. Go ahead, The Cheat. Let's witness the whiteness.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

''{The Cheat starts the record player - playing a very childish "beat".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The quill! The page! Lyric, rampage! Ummmm... word up?

''{Strong Bad and Coach Z snicker}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that was great, Strong Sad. I didn't know you was hard! ''{pronounced "hawd"}'' Remind me again: what part of the streets are you from, exactly? ''{snickers again}''

'''COACH Z:''' You're a real MC, Strong Sad! A ''master of ceremonies!''

''{Coach Z and Strong Bad laugh for a moment, until Strong Bad realizes what was just said.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er, wait...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Forget you guys! It went over great at my Poetry Slam!

''{Cut to the side of Bubs' Concession Stand, which still has the comedy club decorations, but has a banner marked "Poetry Slam" in front of them. Strong Sad stands by the microphone, while silhouettes of Marzipan and Homsar are in the foreground.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The quill! The page! Lyric, rampage! Word up?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good style there, Strong Sad! Geoff Chaucer would be would be  proud!

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Caramel corn for president, please!

''{Cut back to the Stage}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, run along, DJ Dumpy Dump! We gotta get back to rampagin'!

'''COACH Z:''' 'Ey, maybe we should start calling you "SS"! For ''Strong Sad!'' ''{laughs}''

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat stare at Coach Z increduously}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Coach Z}'' What is wrong with you?

''{the beat starts again}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm bad at abbreviations!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're on a rampage?

'''COACH Z:''' The number one jam on all the stations!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ya see Comma, ''{pronounces both the name "Comma" and the actual comma}'' you can still hurt people and their feelings with all manner of different rampages. Until next time, bailiff, I'll be in my chambers. I mean, The Cheat, I'll be in my office... which is this room. ''{quickly}'' So, I'll be right here.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of the e-mail, click on "rampages" for a parody of the classic video game, ''Rampage.''
*Also at the end, click on "chambers" to see the poster for ''[[Litigation Jackson]] 2: Legal Rampage.''
*Again at the end, click on "different" to see a Strong Sad CD.
**Unlike other CD-related easter eggs, this one does not let you hear a song when clicked.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*When Peter says "Ong-stray Ad-bay" and Strong Bad says "epressing-day erd-nay," this is a fake language called [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]]. Translated, Peter said "Strong Bad," and Strong Bad said "depressing nerd."
*Shortly after referring to the M.L.A. Handbook, Strong Bad writes, "I've just grown more selective of the types of rampages on which I go." The slightly odd phrasing at the end of the sentence ("on which I go" rather than the more natural "which I go on") pokes fun at a rule of formal writing (as the M.L.A. explains) that no sentence should end with a preposition.
*Definitions of Strong Bad's "regal" language:
**bequeath: To leave or give (personal property) by will. To pass (something) on to another; hand down
**quiver(ed): To shake with a slight, rapid, tremulous movement
*** A quiver is also a case for carrying arrows or the arrows in a quiver. All this is just a Regal way of saying ARROWED!
**tuppence: British variant of twopence, or two pennies.

=== Trivia ===
*The books with titles on the bind are:
**Sweatshirtguy
**The R in Routine
**Soup, Right?
**Brown Story
**Biscuit
**Smart Investing for Jerks

=== Remarks ===

* After Homsar says "Caramel corn for president, please", his hat performs a loop, but does not come to rest on his head, but a few inches above it. This could be a goof, or it could just be the unpredictable nature of Homsar's hat.

*This is the first time we've ever heard Coach Z actually laugh.

=== Inside References ===
* One of the books in Strong Bad and Strong Mad's Reading Rampage is titled "The R in Routine", a reference to one of Strong Bad's lines in [[morning routine]].
*The Poetry Club is really [[Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween Comedy Club]], with the banner draping over it.
* The scene in the ''Rampage'' video game easter egg of Strong Mad chasing the Cheat is also from [[morning routine]].
* "Poetry Slam" is the title of Strong Sad's character page.

=== Real-World References ===
* On Strong Sad's CD (when "different" is clicked), there is a "Parental Advisory" warning for "Very Boring". This advisory is a parody of the advisories found on music albums containing explicit lyrics or otherwise offensive content.
**Parental Advisory labels became required by most record companies in America following the 1985 "Porn Rock" congressional hearings spearheaded by the [[Wikipedia:Parents Music Resource Center|Parents Music Resource Center]] (PMRC), led by Tipper Gore.
* The Cheat uses an old '80's Fisher-Price record player to "drop some beats."
* The "rampages" Easter egg is, of course, a reference to the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Rampage (arcade game)|Rampage]]'', published by Bally Midway in 1986.
* Strong Sad mentions [[Wikipedia:Iambic pentameter|iambic pentameter]], which is a syllable pattern used in poetry. An iamb is a pair of syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed. Iambic pentameter is five iambs per line. Strong Sad says 'The quill! The page! Lyric, rampage! Word up?' in exaggerated iambic pentameter.
**Iambic pentameter was popular with such poets as [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]] and [[Wikipedia:Geoffrey Chaucer|Geoffrey Chaucer]], and was for a long time the standard English meter.
*The M.L.A. Handbook for Writers of Research Papers is a guide for punctuation, quotation, and documentation of sources published by the ''[http://www.mla.org/ Modern Language Association]''. It is the most popular standard for academic writing.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "DJ Dumpy Dump" could be a reference to the rapper  Humpty Hump (who Coach Z once dressed up as for [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|Halloween]]).
*Strong Bad's insult of "round mound of gray fatness" towards Strong Sad could be derived in part from the nickname of former NBA player [[Wikipedia:Charles Barkley|Charles Barkley]], the "Round Mound of Rebound." Also, Ruben Studdard, who won [[Wikipedia:American Idol|American Idol]] in 2003 and bears more than a slight resemblance to Strong Sad in shape, is sometimes known as the "Round Mound of Sound."
*"Smart Investing for Jerks" is a reference to the numerous [[Wikipedia:...For Dummies|...For Dummies]] books, which insult the reader in their title.
*One of the books seen during Strong Bad's "reading rampage" is titled Soup, Right? which could be a reference to the "[[Wikipedia:Chicken Soup for the Soul|Chicken Soup for the Soul]]" book series.
*"Witness the whiteness" could be a reference to the racial stereotype that white people can't rap, dance, fight, or anything street.

:Put your nose down showdown

== Fun Facts ==
{{funfacts}}
===Explanations===
*In filmic terms, scholars David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson define a montage sequence as "a segment of film which summarizes a topic or compresses a passage of time into brief symbolic or typical images." Also, montage sequences generally represent a longer passage of time than the also-typical "dissolve" or "fade" techniques between shots.
===Trivia===
*This is an email [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=34044#34044 that was sent in by an HRWiki member]. Congratulations [[User:porplemontage|porplemontage]]!
*In the original version of this e-mail, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees.
*At the rate of one e-mail per week, [[The Paper]] will be around until around December 5th, 2005.
*This email introduces an updated, more symmetrical version of the gray "horns" on Strong Bad's mask.
*The Champeenship fight is the first time we ever see Homestar wearing pants outside of Halloween 'toons (though he almost put on a pair in [[monument]]).
*This email is one of the few times we actually see Strong Bad smile.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad, who makes a point of criticizing every e-mailer's spelling and grammar, makes a critical mistake here himself. "Why don't you creat an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly and I talk like this." This sentence should have a question mark, but it doesn't!
===Remarks===
*Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [http://www.homestarrunner.com/auction.html "Some Type of Online Auction"].
*Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].

===Inside References===
*The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which The Brothers Chaps decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In doing so, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the ketchup and fries from [[funny]], the house from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theatre]].
*The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long Haired Band]].
*The [[Taranchula]] album cover is the same one from the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]. The name "Taranchula" also appears in the e-mail [[band names]].
*Besides the [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|smoking game]], this is the first actual cartoon in which you see The Cheat smoking. Strong Bad originally acknowledged The Cheat's nicotine habit in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
*The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar is singing in the Easter Egg ("You're the Best") comes from the 1984 masterpiece, ''[[Wikipedia:The_Karate_Kid|The Karate Kid.]]'' Homestar's headband, bearing the design of an old Japanese flag, is also a reference to this film, and has appeared before in both [[pom pom]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
**The scene during which "You're the Best" plays in ''The Karate Kid'' is another well-known martial arts training montage.
*Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of the training sequence from the immortal boxing epic, ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky|Rocky]]''. It could also be seen as an homage to the Matthew Modine classic ''Vision Quest'' in which the steps of a stadium are used during the workout routine.
*The Strong Bad easter egg is a take on the popular NES game ''[[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which halfway through the game you saw a similar sequence.
**The ''Punchout'' sequence itself was a clear reference to the training sequence in ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky|Rocky]]''.
*There actually is a system call in the Unix operating system called "creat." It creat(e)s a new file.
*The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro is most likely a reference to how such shows often resort to the gimmick of having zoo workers appear on the show, accompanied by their animal partners, whose mischievous antics can often get a cheap laugh from the audience.
*The Cheat not being able to sell any toner is reminiscent of the movie ''The Salesman'', where traveling salesmen have varying rates of success selling bibles. The poorest selling bible seller of the group winds up losing his job.
*The line about Strong Bad's show being canceled before the commercial break may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Turn-On|Turn-On]]'', which was cancelled 10 minutes into its pilot episode.

'''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.

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!!

'''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 ketchup is better than the regular kind! Or that purple kind.

''{Strong Bad walks back in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright alright. 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 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.
:''{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===
*The ketchup bottle falls from the sky into his hand!

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

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad tapes the floppy disk to his head, the contrast dial does not affect its reflection.

===Inside References===
*The sounds Strong Bad makes when he is next to Strong Sad are the exact ones from his e-mail song in [[big white face]].

===Real-World References===
*[http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=chamois Chamois] is actually pronounced "Shammy." Strong Bad pronounces it "Sham-oyce," like it's spelled.
*The [http://www.junkfoodnews.com/purpleketchup.htm Purple Ketchup] Bubs mentions does exist.
*The way Strong Bad says "funniest way ever" sounds very similar to the way The Simpsons character Comic Book Guy says "Worst episode ever."
*409 is a reference to Formula 409, a cleaner/degreaser by Clorox.
*"Aunt Ruthie" might be a reference to Aunt Ruth, a mysterious minor charecter from VeggieTales.

'''Strong Bad Email #37'''

Strong Bad gives some helpful advice on how to deal with the office dullard.

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

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Office]]

'''Date:''' July 22, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 2:12

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmmm... fresh emails...

<pre>Strong Bad,
How do I deal with the office dullard?
Jason</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' {typing} I'm glad you came to me, Jason. The office dullard is a clever foe. But there are ways you can beat him. Here are a few of my tried and true methods.

''{The words "Method 1" appear on the screen, as per following methods}''

=== Method 1 ===

''{Strong Bad is sitting and typing in an office. Homestar Runner comes and stands behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey man, what's up? Good time, bad time...?

''{Strong Bad reaches out very quick to his phone and pretends to have been speaking into it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Oh, oh! Yes, yes, yes... As you know, I'm still here, yes. Working hard. I've been synergizing all morning... ''{He turns his head to Homestar and whispers.}'' I'm not going to be able to talk right now, man. ''{Homestar opens his mouth, nods his head and walks away and Strong Bad turns back to his "phone call"}'' Right... Yes... Multi-tasking...

=== Method 2 ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Once I finish my second run, you know, I'll have a smoothie or something, and then I'll head to the gym, and do, I've been doing about three sets of reps a piece, and then one...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Psssh! ''{Strong Bad flips Homestar off...sort of. He gives him the unprecedented "Single Deuce," complete with sound effect. Homestar looks surprised, only for a moment.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah... So, how much can you bench?

=== Method 3 ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, did you catch last night's episode of Popular Reality Show? Yeah, no? You missed a good one, man, you missed a good one! They were kickin' people off left and right, and, like, some people got kicked on, and um, I mean, it was... you should have watched it. You definitely should have watched it. Should-have-watched it! I mean, they'll be talkin' about this one for a while. I mean, ''I'm'' going ta be talkin' about this one for a while... ''{Strong Bad leaves his seat and walks away and Homestar Runner turns his head towards Strong Bad's direction.}'' Oh, cool, I guess you're going to go watch it now...oh, all right, man...later... {pauses} Cool...

=== Method 4 ===

''{Homestar is talking. Strong Bad is ignoring him, adding "yeah" occasionally under Homestar's dialogue}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So the next thing I know...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...Fredrickson from accounting comes up to me, puts this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeaah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...thing on my desk, I'm like, "Hey man, the mailroom is...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ..."that-a-way," you know, so I sent out a memo, like...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeaaah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...to everybody.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... yeah... oh yeah... ''{Homestar Runner stops talking and glares at Strong Bad. Strong Bad keeps on saying "Yeah". Homestar Runner walks away.}'' yep... mmhmm...

''{Back to Strong Bad sitting in front of his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there you go, Jason. One of those ways should work. Though it couldn't hurt to steal his lunch from the break room fridge everyday. ''{stops typing}'' Mmmmm... Hot Pockets.

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*According to the [[Quote of the Day]] clip, Homestar was originally going to say "I've been doing a couple of sets of reps, and then a rep of sets, and that's been working great for me."

===Goofs===
*During Method 4, Homestar's eyelids come down once he realizes Strong Bad isn't really listening to him. When his eyes blink (like they always do like every 3 seconds), there is a glitch where part of his gray outline is intruded on by white.

===Fast Forward===
*This [[The Office|office]] was used again in [[Senor Mortgage]] and [[other days]].

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Dullard comic.png|thumb|It's five!]]
*You can click on the comic in Strong Bad's cubicle to see a close-up of it. The comic is an almost exact replica of a Dilbert comic strip, except with "It's Five" instead of the original "It's Monday."

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features not only the comic strip featured on the site, but a new one for each of the methods as well. These can all be viewed by using the angle button on your DVD remote.

AgentSeethroo: Reverted edit of 168.103.65.37, changed back to last version by Uh! Bob

[[Image:sbemail20.PNG|thumb|'''DELETED!!''']]

'''Strong Bad Email #20'''

Caitlyn, steve, Mike, Chad, and Sue have some questions for Strong Bad. He'd rather not answer them, making a [[DELETED]] free-for-all.

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

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

'''Date:''' April 1, 2002

'''Duration:''' 1:25

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello, everybody! This week it's time for some spring cleaning. Ready? Go!

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Why do you hate Homestar so much? He seems
like a nice guy to me.
Caitlyn</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what a good question! Let me think about how I should answer that...

'''''DELETED!!'''''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha ha ha, that felt great. What's next?

<pre>Do you have a secret crush with marzipan?
steve
sterling, VA</pre>

''{Strong Bad prounounces VA as "Vah"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, this question is definitely worth my time and consideration.

'''''DELETED!!'''''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh ho ho, this is getting good!

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
How do you type with boxing gloves on?
Mike,
Bend Oregon</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's a new one. No way do I get this freaking question all the time. I suppose I'll probably answer it right now.

'''''DELETED!!'''''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Whoa, who's next man?

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Are you made of crap? Did you invent the word crap?
Where did the word crap come from?

Crapfully crapfully,
Chad</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'll totally answer this one because apparently the only thing I'm concerned with is the word crap—

'''''DELETED!!'''''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'm on a roll!

<pre>Strong Bad,
Your last email was pathetic. I was disappointed.
Come on, you can do better than that! This is like
the highlight of my week.
Surprised at your lack of humor,
Sue</pre>

''{Instead of saying "Sue", he says and types "deleted".}''

'''''DELETED!!'''''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaaah! I feel so cleansed. So fresh and so clean, clean. Okay, so until next time, ain't nobody dope as me.

''{[[The Paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad", click on the text to email him.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Sue, who notes that last week's email was "pathetic", was referring to [[tape-leg]].

===Trivia===
*This is the first email where the screen flashes [[DELETED]]!! when Strong Bad deletes something.
*This is the first appearance of a "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?]]" email.
* This is the last email where The Paper reads, "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad."

===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad answers Susan's email, he types "DELETED" then presses enter. All the other times he deleted emails here, though, he never typed in "DELETED"—he simply hit one key on the keyboard.
*The "DELETED" screen has a green background on the Tandy. When later used on the Compy, it has a blue background. It has not been used on the Lappy thusfar.

===Real-World References===
*The last few lines are from a song by OutKast called 'So Fresh, So Clean'; that's why he said 'Clean' twice. The song's chorus goes ''Ain't nobody dope as me, I'm just so fresh and clean (so fresh and so clean, clean). ''The song is featured on the albums "Stankonia" and "Big Boi and Dre Present...OutKast".''''

:Yeah, I think it just looks strange having them all different sizes. ~[[User:Rainer|Rainer]]~

: Maybe just put them in order based on how much donated and show the amount. [[User:nintendorulez|nintendorulez]] 18:16, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

:: I agree with nintendorulez. It's very odd looking at the page when all of the names are in different sizes. You can just put them in the correct rank. You don't even need to mention that that is the rank... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 18:40, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Personally, I liked it the way it was. I don't think this is really the place to recognize amounts donated. I think this page should look particularly professional.

Stinkoman 20X6

AgentSeethroo — Tue, 29 Mar 2005 22:12:42 GMT

''Blue hair, anyone? Stinkoman's always got fightings and challenges to keep him busy. Jump and shoot your way to all ends of Planet K. End Boss feature!!'' --[[Videlectrix]] description

'''Stinkoman 20X6'''
is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars [[Stinkoman]].

[[The Brothers Chaps]] showed it off at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|their talk at NYU]] before it was released. This game seems to be based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. It also parodies the poor "Japanese to English" translations (a.k.a. "[[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]") common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current Games Menu]].

Below is the text that appears in the introduction sequence:
<pre>
On Planet K, Stinkoman is always
looking for a fighting or a challenge.
In 20X6, he can usually find one!
</pre>

== Stinkomanual ==
[[Image:stinkobox.png|thumb|Stinkoman 20X6 box art]]

STINKOMAN
20X6

Instruction
Stinkomanual Videlectrix

'''Welcome to Stinkoman GAME!'''
Stinkoman is trying very hard to win this exciting challenge! Only YOU can help him. Keep striving until you REACH YOUR GOALS or you'll be stuck with the same dead end friends you've had since HIGH SCHOOL. This game will prove a challenge...

''...but can you prove it back?!?!''

'''The Story'''
STINKOMAN and his pals 1-UP and PAN PAN live on Planet K in the year 20X6. This game is all about that. Don't expect any weepy princess crap, this is a STINKOMAN game! Or at least it was last time we checked! Maybe fighting? Maybe challenge?
THE CHOICE IS OURS!!

'''The Controls'''
This game keeps using ARROW KEYS to move Stinkoman around. It won't stop making him JUMP with the A key or SHOOT with the S key, either. You won't find this kind of quality in other countries!!

'''Level 1 - Go Home!'''

Stinkoman fighted a challenge and WINS! Help him get back home for some fave treats.

POORU-POORU - This punk cucumber is no cactus! Land on one and it's DOINK for you!

CHORCH - A flying mecha with pinching fingers, Chorch will make you wish you were never even born!!

BROWNTANT - This little robot is no mecha. He'll shoot you down with his mecha antenna! Takes a lickin!

'''Boss 1 - TAMPO'''

Tampo is as mean as he is delicious! Stinkoman already beat Tampo before you started playing the game only now his brain has decided to get revenge! Dodge his attacks and shoot him or yo'll never amount to anything

''"I wish I still had a lungs!"
-Tampo '89''

'''Level 2 - Pick a Bone!'''

Stinkoman found a chicken bone in his dumpling soup. Battle throughout the kitchen for revenge!

TERRELL - A baby chick with no body? That's freaky. Blast em up Dan!

ROSE BLAKE - A 'Lectric burner with a taste for human flesh!

KOLKARYU - A UFO that zips in and is always shooting at you. I honestly don't think you can kill it.

GRUNDY - A jogging chicken? That has to be a bold faced lie.

LUNDSFORD - Natural gas is the name of the game when Lundsford is in town. Learn his habits, have him followed, hunt down his family.

STOBAT - The fattest chicken plays fly, hocking up old bones. Stay outta range and BLAMMO: Stobat tenders.

OLD SAGE - These are sharp tips! They'll kill ya dead! DEAD I SAY!

TORTAN - Tortan is a drippy bottle of poisonous Tortan. Don't drink! Is no good for you!

''"I am waiting a good while for you to help me win this game! What's the hold up? Help me out already!"
-Stinkoman''

'''Boss 2 - Brody'''

Brody is stompin' mad! Keep from squished, ya know? Shoot him in the eye when he tries to come in for the kill. You're not chicken, are you?

''"My feet are orange feet."
-BRODY, FL''

'''Level 3 - Up 'n Down'''

Stinkoman goes up, up, up and then down, down
down

CLOWDER - Steer clear of this crotchety old cloud. He won't die and doesn't say hello.

MR. UBBERS - A rain drop that releases golden nuggets when punched. Go for the GOLD!

'''Level 3 - Up 'n Down'''

Stinkoman loves BREAD, but boy does he hate SOAP, APPLES, EARS and P's.
Falling from the skies and bove.

1 BREAD results in 1 ITEM POINT! SOAP, APPLES, EARS, and P's result in minus 1 ITEM POINT!

EVASIVE ACTION!!

'''Boss 3 - Stlunko'''

Stlunko gonna pound you!! Shoot the wall on top of Stlunko's head to send him packing. His fists hurt you, but you can't hurt thems.

''"Stlunko need a reason to live"
-Stlunko, 404''

'''Giving Up Already?!'''

Stinkoman must be ashamed of you! Get back in the game and try out these rules and hints!!

*play the game every day, even after mom says no 
*new and exciting recipes 
*hold B 
*ask your parents 
*walk and talk 
*table the label! wear your own brand!

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:stinkogame slow.png|thumb|A "treat" for slow computers]]
* Hover your mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the Instruction Booklet.
* Wait long enough at the title screen to see an intro cinematic.
* Let Stinkoman stand still in the game for a few seconds and he'll start yawning, similar to Sonic the Hedgehog on the old Sega!

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
* This game is the first official mention of the 20X6 version of Homestar Runner's actual name, 1-Up.
* This is the first time we have seen Stinkoman's house, or any 20X6 character's house, for that matter.
* According to the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[time capsule]], it would seem that Planet K is Earth in the future.
*This is also the first complete platform game that Videlectrix have ever made, as of course Jon Howe programmed it, while the Chaps were simply the graphics designers. ([[Super Kingio Brothers]] was meant as a joke and was impossible to play past the first enemy)

=== Remarks ===
* The game plays entirely backwards from most NES games - the robot is beaten first, and then you guide stinkoman home.
* There is a hidden power crunch right before the end of the 1st level. Stand at the top of the triangular set of platforms and then jump up to a hidden platform and jump again.
* In the bottom right-hand corner of the PLAY GAME! screen it says "V1.X EPISODES 1-3", possibly hinting at a sequel, or, more likely, since the levels and game elements are stored in separate files, an expansion.
* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[Hip Hop Dance]].
* This game doesn't feature the regular links at the bottom of the screen to move to other parts of the website.
*Play the .swf version. When you die, right click and do the "play" function. The "More to Come!" screen with Stinkoman with the grey fist will pop up.
**On that screen, do like you did with the "Game Over" screen, and you'll start the level over with 0 lives. If you die, you gain one life, but die. Repeat the process for a lotta lives (or to start on THAT level, including bosses.)

=== Goofs ===

* To get power crunches that are hiding behind enemies without having to kill the enemy, run into the enemy with health to spare. You will take damage, grab the crunch and will be invincible long enough to escape unharmed.
* The manual has Kolkaryu listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.
* Greggo will not stop or become indestructable unless you are parallel to him.
* Level 3 is called "Dumb Wall" on the level select screen, but it's called "Up 'n' Down" in the instruction manual.
* In Level 1 in the manual, the original version said "face treats" instead of "fave treats."

=== Glitches ===
* When the game was first released, you could skip (press space or click) the first part of the final movie (any part before the MORE LEVELS TO COME SCENE) to enter stage 3.4. It was the Stlunko Battle arena without Stlunko: a slightly elevated platform above the ground with two Pooru-Poorus on either side. You could continue traveling rightwards into a barren land before reaching an endless cliff.
**This glitch is now fixed. However, if you play the swf you can still play 3.4
* When you run right and jump, you will flip as if you were running left and jumping.
* If you fall long enough and don't touch anything, Stinkoman will stop doing his falling pose and act like he's standing and will even start to yawn. Such a long fall can be found in stage 2.2.
* You can float in mid-air on level 1.1 if you land on the right spot next to the gray pole close to the beginning, or if a Browntant hits you while you’re falling against it.
* If you jump at the right time at the end of a level, you can do your victory pose in midair.
* If you die with only one life left after defeating a boss, the usual "die" sequence will happen, but then Stinkoman will do his victory dance with no ground beneath him and you will start the next stage with no lives, which will increase by one life and the "Game Over" screen will appear the next time he dies in the next stage.
* Sometimes you can start up a new game and it will be nothing but Stinkoman and the background. Since there's no ground, you can only fall and die. This may be linked to older versions of Flash.
** A possible reason that this happens is because earlier versions of Flash may not be able to read the levelData xml files. For more information on these files, please see the talk page.
*Not exactly a glitch, but when Stinkoman is about to yawn, his sprite character moves down one pixel.
*There is a spot in level 2.1 where you can fall between a refrigerator and an adjacent stove, and not be able to jump back up.
[[Image:stinkogame-level22-terrell-glitch.png|thumb|Stuck Terrell on level 2.2]]
*In the beginning of level 2.2, there's a Terrell just behind a refrigerator. It seems that it's possible for the Terrell to get "stuck" just to the right of the fridge. It will continue to hop up and down (without moving horizontally at all), and Stinkoman can pass through the Terrell without becoming injured. It also becomes impossible to kill. I've only been able to reproduce this behavior once, on version 1.3.
*In level 1.1, if you don't kill the Jaro by the first wall and instead just go past it and the wall under the second browntant, the Jaro will be jumping in mid-air.
*If you use a seek bar, then it is possible to access level Undefined.Undefined. This level is just a grey hole, which Stinkoman is doomed to fall down. Stinkoman's MANS are always either 8, or not there. Regardless, after he falls down once, the game over screen appears. The music is from the boss levels, and Stinkoman even shouts "Are you asking for a challenge?" as you enter. The items counter is also shown, as it is in level 3.1. It even has the "Try level" screen!
*Once, I didin't even BEAT level 3.1, and it already had 3.2 in the continue list.

=== Inside References ===
* "Check out my new gameplay!" is a reference to Stinkoman's quote "Check out my new cosplay!" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
* This is the second appearance of Stinkoman's green tongue. In the "Game Over" screen, Stinkoman's green tongue is shown. It also appeared in [[Super NES]].
**Although Stinkoman's tongue is red or pink all other times you see it in the game.
***The green color of Stinkoman's tongue may be due to the fact that he has a "stummyache"
* The nuggets in Level 3.1 are a reference to [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] Character Video.
* Level 3.2 reveals that Stinkoman hates apples, just as Strong Bad does in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]]
* The health-restoring pills are a reference to "power crunches" from the Strong Bad E-Mail [[time capsule]].
**They are also a reference to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]], where you can get similar capsules to change your ship.
* Grundy's illustration in the manual shows him running in a manner similar to [[Homestar Runner]].
* Stlunko, the level 3 boss, bears a striking resemblance to the [[Visor Robot]].
*The Rose Blake's description in the manual as a "'Lectric burner" is a reference to the email [[extra plug]], where Strong Bad gets '[[Lectric Boots]].
*"Blast em up Dan!" is a reference to "Fire em up Dan" as well as "Swimmer Dan" seen in [[Peasant's Quest]] and "fry 'em up Dan" as seen in [[TROGDOR!]].
*The sentence in the manual, "Falling from the skies and bove", is a reference to [[That Time of Year]].
*The chickens in Level 2 blow up like the ducks in [[Duck Guardian]] after being hit with the hatch ray.

=== Real-World References ===
*There are many references to the ''Mega Man'' game series:
** The sprites used for Stinkoman are patterned after 8-bit ''Mega Man'' sprites.
** In fact, the poses of the white silhouette in the logo are taken directly from the NES ''Mega Man'' series.
** The sounds of the text appearing in the cinematics are also the same as in ''Mega Man''.
***The chime noise for the main menu is taken from the first ''Mega Man X'' game.
** In ''Mega Man V'', there is a chicken robot similar to the chickens encountered in level 2.
** When Stinkoman says that the large gray fist could be a new powerup and takes off with it, this is an obvious reference to Mega Man taking the power of defeated bosses.
*** It may also be a reference to the Guts Fist, a large punch attack used by Guts Man.
** At the start of side-scrolling stage the little theme played is very similar to the old ''Mega Man'' starting theme. In fact, the whole soundtrack was probably meant to sound like ''Mega Man'' game music.
** Stinkoman being unable to clear the wall using his normal jump is also a joke from ''Mega Man''.
** When all three characters flash onto the screen during the intro, that is also a ''Mega Man'' reference, where in one of the arcade games (namely ''Mega Man: The Power Battles'') Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass would flash onto the screen in a similar way.
**The spikes that can kill Stinkoman instantly (Old Sage) are a reference to similar spikes which were placed under moving platforms in Mega Man games and which would also kill Mega Man instantly.
** The dropping platforms are a reference to the original ''Mega Man'', in which similar platforms were found in Guts Man's stage.
** Only three of Stinkoman's flying fists can be on the screen at the same time. In the ''Mega Man'' series, Mega Man's bullets also suffer from the same drawbacks.
***Early sprite-based video games suffered this fate as well. Limiting the number of sprites on screen prevented slow down.
* Right after Tampo blows up in the cinematic, you can hear the same sound that is played in Metroid when Samus phases in.
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the 404 error that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* Stlunko, the final boss, could very well be modeled after...
** ...the final boss in the ''Donkey Kong'' game for Game Boy, in which you fight a giant version of Donkey Kong who uses two hands to smash you in a manner very similar to Stlunko.
** ...Gamma from ''Mega Man 3''.
** ...Rudy, the final boss of ''Wario Land 3''.
** ...Kerozene, a boss added to the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
* Hold B is a reference to ''Super Mario Bros'' and a few other Nintendo games in which if you held down B, you would run faster. In this game, holding S (which is like a B button) allows you to rapid fire.
* Stinkoman doing a forward flip may be a reference to the ''Metroid'' series, where Samus does very similar flips.
**Or it may simply be a reference to the 20X6 Main Page, in which Stinkoman does a forward flip.
* The fading blue boxes around Stinkoman's face on the title screen are a reference to large NES sprites, which sometimes had a similar problem.
**It may just be Flash though, as it tends to do that.
* The first boss, Tampo, may be a reference to the final boss of ''Star Fox 64'', which was the giant, floating brain of the enemy, which had the same weak point (medulla).
* Stinkoman's becoming bored when idle is an old gag first found in ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and emulated in countless other titles.
* The phrase "Table the Label" is from a hilariously bad motivational video hosted by Mr. T called "[http://www.agonybooth.com/mr_t/ Be Somebody or be Somebody's Fool!]"
* The manual mentioning this game has no "weepy princess crap" is a reference to the Super Mario series, the Legend of Zelda series, and a few other games where you had to rescue a helpless princess.
** Likewise, Pan Pan being kidnapped references the countless games which featured a random character being kidnapped.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman on the box art is probably a reference to the first and second ''Mega Man'' games, where the original American version of the game's box art had a big, muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game.
*The pose with the large fist is a direct reference to the old NES game Battletoad.
*The fact that P's are a collectable item in level 3.2 may be a reference to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, in which at one point, Mario needs to find the missing letter P in order to guess a foe's name.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! A little email never hurt nobody. 'Cept for maybe the Cheat. So what do we got here...

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

I was wondering what CGNU's mascot
is, and if they have any sports teams.
Thanks for the info.

Ike</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, we got a mascot, Ike. Unfortunately, The Cheat, Strong Mad, and I were ''really'' hungry when we decided on a name. So, uh, all we came up with was the Crazy Go Nuts University Dumples. I think maybe we meant dumplings? But we were really hungry and tired and sorta confused and ended up putting Dumples on the application. We do have a sports team, though. The Golf Club Team. We have a game every day at 6pm!

''{cut to a shot of the scoreboard on the football field, reading '''Home: Crazy Go Nuts University, 0; Visitor: Pile of Electronics State, 0.''' Cut to The Cheat holding a golf club in a ring facing a pile of old electronics, with Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and Coach Z cheering him on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's go, Dumples!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DE-FENSE!

'''COACH Z:''' Get yer head in the game, The Chort! The Cheat is wide open!

''{The Cheat starts bashing all the electronics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah!

'''COACH Z:''' Atta boy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Go for the 8-track!

''{The scoreboard gives CGNU 1 point with a buzzing noise}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Dumples win!

''{everyone cheers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look everybody! It's The Jolly Dumple come to celebrate our victory!

''{Cut to Homestar in the Dumple costume. It looks like a ravioli with a pirate hat, a mouth, a big tongue, and two huge hands giving thumbs-ups. The alma mater starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' 
Fighting and sometimes striving 
Wondering what the Dumple is 
Excellence and what is valor? 
And The Cheat will hit stuff with a golf club ''{The Cheat shows up holding cue cards that read "see", "gee", "in", and then "you", as Strong Bad chants:}'' 
SEE GEE IN! ... YOU!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Me?

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, we're still undefeated. But next week's going to be a tough game against Homestar's Knees Tech. Well, I gots to go. I promised the team I'd get them real fruit smoothies if they won the game. And they won the game. So I'm getting them real fruit smoothies.

''{He types in 'run "fightsong"' and walks off. Compy starts playing the song, showing the letter name of each note. Once it's done, it says "GO DUMPLES!!!" and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*You can click on "really hungry and tired" to see a "LEM" ([[Lem Sportsinterviews]]) styled cartoon of, well, them being really hungry and tired.
*You can also click on "application" to see their mascot application, GO DUMPLES!!!
*At the very end after the fightsong plays, you can mouse-over the notes to play them!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The Pile of Electronics State team has a TV, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] (aka Marzipan's microwave), a Panasonic RQ-8003 8-Track player (also referred to as "The Plunger" or "TNT" style), and a Nintendo Entertainment System.

===Remarks===
*"run '(something)'" is the syntax for executing a program on the [[Tandy 400]].
*Although The Cheat never hits the NES it still breaks as though it were hit. The way he broke the glass on Mrs. Bennedeto wouldn't crush an NES
*This is the first time [[Coach Z]] says [[The Cheat]] instead of the chort.

===Goofs===
*When [[Compy 386|Compy]] shows the letter names of the notes of the fight song, "A#" (A-sharp) should be notated as "Bb" (B-flat) since the key the song is in is F Major (which has one flat, Bb), and it is not considered correct to refer to A# in F Major.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad says, "A little e-mail never hurt anyone, except for maybe The Cheat," he may be referencing [[little animal]] or [[huttah!]].

'''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.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]/[[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]], [[The Cheat]]/[[Istanbul]], [[Coach Z]]/[[Renaldo]], [[Homestar Runner]]/[[Dangeresque too]], [[Strong Sad]]/[[Hot Tub]], [[The King of Town]]/[[Perducci]], [[Strong Mad]]/[[Killingyouguy]], [[Marzipan]]/[[Cutesy Buttons]]

'''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! People 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}'' Hello, 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've climbed this skyscraper, 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, 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!

'''Dangeresque – Strong Bad''' 
'''Dangeresque – Homestar Runner''' 
'''Renaldo – Coach Z''' 
'''Perducci – The King of Town''' 
'''Cutesy Buttons – Marzipan''' 
'''Killingyouguy – Himself''' 
'''Passerby(Hot Tub) – El Dumpo''' 
'''Istanbul – The Cheat'''

''''Today is alright 4 2nite' written and performed by Strong Bad'''

''{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.

===Inside References===
*The sound effect of "Johnny Well 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]].
*The Cheat's sign is a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*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 grammer(as seen in many of his emails), many times during the movie the caracters use incorrect grammer.
*In the movie Strong Bad is driving his car, which he admits he doesn't have in e-mail 101: "[[car]]"

===Real-World References===
*"What is your malfunction?" is a reference to Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war movie [[imdb:tt0093058|"Full Metal Jacket"]]
*The scene of Dangeresque and Dangeresque too going up the "skyscraper" is a parody of old [[Batman]] TV episodes.
*"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.
*The fact that The King of Town was hiding in Istanbul may be a nod to [[They Might Be Giants]], who had a hit in 1990 called "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and have collaborated with [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] on several occasions.
**More likely, it's a nod to countless action and spy movies set in the city.
*Homestar's "shades" are Venetian blinds-style, and may have been inspired by the movie [[imdb:tt0094072|"Summer School"]]
*"Reesy Cup Milkshake" is a reference to the peanut butter/chocolate candy "Reese's Peanut butter cups".
**It may also be a reference to Dairy Queen's "Blizzard" milkshakes, which have a variety of brand-name candies mixed into them.

'''Strong Bad Email #126'''

Strong Bad shows us the best thing he's ever seen, done or eaten: the quickly cancelled pilot of Limozeen in Space!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Limozeen]], [[Teeg Dougland]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Mitch Overlord]], [[Bozar]], [[Nebulon]]

'''Date:''' March 8, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 4:02

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got to ''e''-mail, just to stay alive! ''{types "strongbad_email.exe", begins reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
How you doin'? I have three quick questions...
1. What's the best thing you've ever seen?
2. What's the best thing you've ever done?
3. What's the best thing you've ever eaten?

Later,
Albin J. (from Maryland)</pre>

''{Strong Bad doesn't read the numbers, and after saying "seen", he immediately follows with "done, eaten." He also whispers "from, from Maryland." Then he clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm doing real real ''{types "rrll rrll"}'' well Albi. Believe it or not, I've got one answer for all three questions. And that answer is...

''{Cut to an image of a video tape labelled "Limozeen cartoon" and "Don't record over for dang's sake!!!"}''

'''SINGERS:''' VHS!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon shoooooooow!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' It only aired once at, like, 4 a.m. some forgotten Saturday. And guess who was already up and eating brown sugar straight from the box? That's right, Strong Sad. But then I got up and started watching TV. If not for my The Cheat-like VHS reflexes, it would have been as lost as four-armed Grimace. ''{clears screen}'' I'll let you guys see it, but please, no flash photography or video taping. It could damage the precious oils and heavy metals of this priceless piece of television history.

''{cut to the cartoon. It opens with "Metalmation" appearing in large block letters, followed by "presents" in cursive}''

'''SINGER:''' 
Remember those guys from that band Limozeen? 
Well, they turned their tour bus into a space machine! 
But they're still Limozeen!

'''LARRY:''' 
We're still Limozeen!

'''SINGER:''' 
But they're in space!

'''LARRY:''' 
But we're in space?!

''{now the title screen is shown: LIMOZEEN "but they're in space!" The Limozeen members appear in animated form below. Teeg walks in from stage right.}

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. You're in space!

''{one final chord of the theme song plays}''

''{cut to the Couch. Strong Bad is sitting on it, while Strong Sad is leaning on it from behind.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! So classic!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But why are they in space? There's no reason for them to be in space!

'''STRONG BAD:''' On the contrary, my dear Fatson! There's ''every'' reason for them to be in space.

''{title card for "ENCOUNTER AT GROUPULON 5" by A. Chimendez appears. From there, it cuts to the Limozeen members running away from a pair of flesh-colored hands, a pair of blue hands, and two magenta tentacles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, one of their main goals is to both run away from and give backstage passes to all the hot babe-liens of the galaxy.

''{the Limozeen members run into their tour spaceship}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. None of the hot alien chicks from Groupulon 5 have backstage passes to tonight's show.

'''LARRY:''' Then whose midriffs are we gonna sign?

'''GARY:''' What happened to all the passes, Teeg?

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' Galactic Radio gave them all away. To Mitch Overlord.

''{The members of Limozeen gasp, as we cut to Mitch Overlord's lair}''

'''MITCH OVERLORD:''' That's right, Limozeen! I was the one million, six hundred and eighty-five thousand, four hundred and twenty-first caller! ''{raises his claw-like right hand and opens and shuts it twice}''

''{The members of Limozeen are shown running again, this time from nothing that can be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' And sometimes the magical prankster Bozar appears and turns reality upside-down.

'''BOZAR:''' ''{unintelligible}'' Limo-losers! How are you going to play tonight's show after I turn your instruments into Italian noodles?

''{The band is greeted with "boooos" as they attempt to play a concert with their noodle-instruments anyway. The word NOODLES! appears in lights behind the stage. Mary eats his noodles instead.}''

'''MARY:''' This is the best show ever, guys!

''{laughter is heard}''

'''LARRY:''' Mary, quit eatin' your drums!

''{Cut to the outside of the tour spaceship flying through space. Nebulon flies past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' But most of all, the episode centers around the boys making sure metal stays number one throughout the galaxy.

''{Cut to spaceship interior}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. We've been knocked off the charts in the Forbidden Zone by an alternative rock band.

'''PERRY:''' But their bassist is a girl!

'''MARY:''' And the drummer's got short hair!

'''LARRY:''' And the lead singer wears glasses!

''{Cut back to the couch. Strong Bad throws the remote at Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ow! What was that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' For you and your kind destroying metal! Chuck Taylor-wearing, low self-esteemers...

''{Cut back to the cartoon. The band is practicing as Teeg walks up to them.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. Our pilot episode has been cancelled.

'''LARRY, GARY, PERRY, and MARY:''' What?

'''GARY:''' Oh well. I guess I won't be needing this anymore. ''{throws his guitar offscreen}''

''{Cut to the real Larry on Strong Bad's television, who catches the real equivalent of the guitar.}''

'''LARRY:''' Oh, thanks, Space Gary! I can't believe we got cancelled! Weeeeeell, join us next time, kids! In syndication! Or maybe on DVD! ''{plays a short tune as the TV fades out. Strong Bad returns to the Lappy.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whattaya think, Albi? If that's not the best thing you've ever seen, done, or eaten, then may I politely ask you to gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and um, have all your done ''{short pause}'' removed.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "brown sugar" to see a box of "Suge Brown" brown sugar, with the tagline "Don't borrow from thy neighbor" and a weight of "one whole pound".
*At the end of the email, click "eaten" to see a member of Limozeen question his hair color and size:
*:'''MARY:''' How come they made me fat and have red hair?
*:'''LARRY:''' Because you're the comic relief-uh!
*:''{Mary burps very loudly}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*Teeg Dougland was voiced by [[Mike Chapman]] who looks almost identical to Teeg.
*The email song could be a parody of the movie "Saw"'s logo 'How much blood would you shed to stay alive'

=== Remarks ===
*This email gives a good answer to Strong Bad's own question in [[different town]] when he tries to think up the Best Thing Ever, which turned out to be beef stew.
*Strong Bad's tape lacks the little tab you knock out to prevent people taping over it, a chief concern with the cartoon tape.

=== Goofs ===
*Just before Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy, you see almost his entire head, but, you cannot see the laces on the back of his mask; usually when they show that much of his head (e.g. in [[crazy cartoon]]) you see those laces.

=== Inside References ===
*Limozeen is a band name Strong Bad made up in [[band names]]. This is their first appearance in cartoon form.
*The green alien which floats by in one scene is Nebulon, as seen in [[New Boots]] and [[Main Page 1]].
*The teleplay for Limozeen's cartoon is written by [[A. Chimendez]].
*Teeg Dougland is the name of the director of the [[Moving Very Slowly]] video on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. He is likely the Band's manager.
*The [[VCR]] is still blinking from [[12:00]] and someone removed the alarm clock that [[Bubs]] duct-taped to it.
*When Space Larry throws his guitar and says "I guess I won't be needing THIS anymore," it is a reference to [[invisibility]]. Strong Bad says the same thing when he gets rid of the broken [[Tandy 400]] and replaces it with the [[Compy 386]].
*"The Cheat-like VHS reflexes" might refer to the fact that The Cheat has been seen traveling very fast, such as in [[lackey]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The fact that Limozeen's cartoon takes place in space for no good reason is likely a reference to several other cartoons which also took place in space for no reason, like [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-5297/ the Partridge Family, 2200 A.D.], [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2345/ Gilligan's Planet], and [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7865/ Josie & the Pussycats In Outer Space], all of which had extremely short runs (usually only one season).
**The Limozeen cartoon is also likely a riff on Hanna Barbara cartoons that featured bands who solved crimes or fought villians. In addition to ''Josie'' there was ''Jabberjaw'' and ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids''.
*"Metalmation" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Filmation|Filmation]] animation studio, with the logos looking very similar. Filmation was famous for churning out cookie-cutter cartoons many of which also took place in space for no good reason.
*The repeated "band being chased" segments may be a reference to a Hanna-Barbera 70's staple of stock-footage chase scenes, which appeared most prominently in Scooby-Doo. [[Image:evil-grimace.jpg|thumb|Four-armed Grimace]]
** The drummer eating his drums is also a likely reference to Scooby and Shaggy, who were perpetually focused on eating.
*"Four-armed Grimace" is a reference to the purple McDonaldland character. Grimace was originally named "The Evil Grimace", and he had four arms -- so that he could hold many shakes at once.
*"My dear Fatson" is an adaptation of "My dear Watson", a way Sherlock Holmes often addressed his assistant.
*The space logo of Limozeen is very similar to the logo of the Nintendo game series Metroid. This isn't the first Metroid reference on the site -- in fact, a Metroid code appeared in an Easter Egg in the Strong Bad Email [[invisibility]].
*"Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a combined reference to [[Wikipedia:Encounter_at_Farpoint|Encounter at Farpoint]] (the first episode of [[Wikipedia:Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]) and the popular science-fiction show [[Wikipedia:Babylon_5|Babylon 5]].
* Mary asking "How come they made me fat and have red hair?" draws attention to the manipulation of characters in cartoon adaptations to clearly defined sterotypical roles. In particular, Mary's question references the cartoon [http://www.tvtome.com/RealGhostbusters/ The Real Ghostbusters], where the Dan Aykroyd character (from the Ghostbusters film) was modified into an overweight redhead. This was probably done because the real-life actors had contract clauses that prevented likenesses of them being used.
**It may also have been done so that the animated counterparts of Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis (all dark haired and of similar build in the film) could be easily told apart by kids.
* The phrase "Chuck Taylor wearin'..." refers to Converse High Top basketball shoes, designed by Chuck Taylor. "Chucks" are a signature look of Grunge, Punk, and Metal that happened after 1990.
**This is also a reference to that particular brand of shoe being popular among fans of "Alternative Rock" (or indie, or emo, etc.) that Strong-Bad is so angry about. We know that Strong Sad has a fondness for these bands from his Blog.
*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.
**This also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|the Great Gazoo]] from The Flintstones.
*The scene at the end, where the cartoon throws the guitar to the real-life band member, pokes fun at almost every 80's cartoon that had a (semi) famous person behind it -- where the cartoon would transition/interact with the real person from off screen: Fat Albert, Alf, M.C. Hammer, Mr. T, and many others all did this.

Homestar is slowly taking over the world, as evidenced by some of these documented sightings.

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce-drunk Strong Bad did in the SB Email [[personal favorites]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "Trodgor" shirt.

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet"

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Monster House'' ===

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

== RADIO ==
=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

This article also mentioned the upcoming DVDs.

===Tucson Weekly===
[http://www.tucsonweekly.com Tucson Weekly] had [http://www.tucsonweekly.com/gbase/music/Content?oid=oid:59640 an interview] of [[They Might Be Giants]] in their August 19, 2004 issue that included information on their relationship with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Of particular note was the corroboration that a special [[Experimental Film]] video was being made for MTV. However, a new development is that the current internet version "is getting played on MTV in England, so it is finding some legitimate video life."

===Time Magazine===
On June 30, 2003, Time Magazine ran a short article called [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/archive/0,10987,1101030630-460201,00.html "A Star Is Born - On The Web"] (access restricted) which featured a picture of Homestar from [[Where's The Cheat?]], and said he was part of a funny cartoon website, namely [http://www.homestarrunner.com homestarrunner.com]. The article also mentions [[Strong Bad]], and compares Homestar and his friends to a post-modern [[Wikipedia:Peanuts| Peanuts]] gang. ([http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,1005126,00.html preview of the article])

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts. They also showed [[Everybody to the Limit]] and it had a special new introduction wherein Strong Bad complained that he wasn't allowed on stage even though he had been the #1 hit for two summers in a row.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Peagant Tour ===
On December 16th 2004 at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, the Beastie Boys used two JumboTron screens on the left and right side of the stage to present to the crowd the first one and a half minutes of [[Everybody to the Limit]]. Even though most of the listeners might have never heard of Homestar Runner or Strong Bad the crowd was cheering and clapping their hands rhythmically with the music.
''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

(at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant.

== Who? ==

Hey all, AgentSeethroo here. I got tired of having a userspace that I didn't come up with, so uhhh...here's the new one.

I'm in the US Air Force, no I'm not a pilot, and no, not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot.

I'm a Contract Administrator, which simply means I (along with other people in my career field) buy everything that comes through the gate at lovely Luke AFB in scenic Phoenix, AZ, where I'm currently stationed.

I try to help out here at the [http://www.hrwiki.org Wiki] and [http://forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum] whenever I can, so for the most part I split my time between this site and my website, the [http://blackboxrepublic.com Black Box Republic], where I have an actual [http://wiki.blackboxrepublic.com Halo Wiki] and [http://forum.blackboxrepublic.com Forum] dedicated to everything from movie, video game and music review, to our own Halo 2 Clan information.

Here's the interview I wrote back when my UserSpace was DVD themed.
I like it, so it's stayin' in.

'''AgentSeethroo''': Mr. REPORTER, are you an evil leprechaun?

'''REPORTER''': uhh...no, what kind of ques- <gets interrupted>

'''AgentSeethroo''': <interrupts> Don't dodge the question Mr. REPORTER, my sources are VERY reliable.

'''REPORTER''': This is supposed to make me more relaxed?

'''AgentSeethroo''': I'm asking the questions here.

'''REPORTER''': Oh. Sorry.

'''AgentSeethroo''': Ok, so my notes say that you're married. How's married life treatin' ya?

'''REPORTER''': um...those notes say that ''you're'' married...they're my notes...

'''AgentSeethroo''': <looking down at notes> Right. So they are...

'''REPORTER''': Ok so...it's my turn now right?

'''AgentSeethroo''': You're feeling better now?

'''REPORTER''': Sure, whatever, let's just get this over with.

'''AgentSeethroo''': That's the spirit!

'''REPORTER''': Mr. Seethroo, what was your inspiration throughout the production of this film?

'''AgentSeethroo''': Aw, crap, your time's up, I have another interview in 2 minutes!

'''REPORTER''': Of...course...you do. Thank you for your time...

'''Strong Bad Email #126'''

Strong Bad shows us the best thing he's ever seen, done or eaten: the quickly cancelled pilot of Limozeen in Space!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Limozeen]], [[Teeg Dougland]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Mitch Overlord]], Bozar, [[Nebulon]]

'''Date:''' March 8, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 4:02

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got to ''e''-mail, just to stay alive! ''{types "strongbad_email.exe", begins reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
How you doin'? I have three quick questions...
1. What's the best thing you've ever seen?
2. What's the best thing you've ever done?
3. What's the best thing you've ever eaten?

Later,
Albin J. (from Maryland)</pre>

''{Strong Bad doesn't read the numbers, and after saying "seen", he immediately follows with "done, eaten." He also whispers "from, from Maryland." Then he clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm doing real real ''{types "rrll rrll"}'' well Albi. Believe it or not, I've got one answer for all three questions. And that answer is...

''{Cut to an image of a video tape labelled "Limozeen cartoon" and "Don't record over for dang sake!!!"}''

'''SINGERS:''' Limozeeeeeeen!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon shoooooooow!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' It only aired once at, like, 4 a.m. some forgotten Saturday. And guess who was already up and eating brown sugar straight from the box? That's right, Strong Sad. But then I got up and started watching TV. If not for my The Cheat-like VHS reflexes, it would have been as lost as four-armed Grimace. ''{clears screen}'' I'll let you guys see it, but please, no flash photography or video taping. It could damage the precious oils and heavy metals of this priceless piece of television history.

''{cut to the cartoon. It opens with "Metalmation" appearing in large block letters, followed by "presents" in cursive}''

'''SINGER:''' 
Remember those guys from that band Limozeen? 
Well, they turned their tour bus into a space machine! 
And they're still Limozeen!

'''LARRY:''' 
We're still Limozeen!

'''SINGER:''' 
But they're in space!

'''LARRY:''' 
But we're in space?!

''{now the title screen is shown: LIMOZEEN "but they're in space!" The Limozeen members appear in animated form below. Teeg walks in from stage right.}

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. You're in space!

''{one final chord of the theme song plays}''

''{cut to the Couch. Strong Bad is sitting on it, while Strong Sad is leaning on it from behind.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! So classic!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But why are they in space? There's no reason for them to be in space!

'''STRONG BAD:''' On the contrary, my dear Fatson! There's ''every'' reason for them to be in space.

''{title card for "ENCOUNTER AT GROUPULON 5" by A. Chimendez appears. From there, it cuts to the Limozeen members running away from a pair of flesh-colored hands, a pair of blue hands, and two magenta tentacles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, one of their main goals is to both run away from and give backstage passes to all the hot babe-liens of the galaxy.

''{the Limozeen members run into their tour spaceship}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. None of the hot alien chicks from Groupulon 5 have backstage passes to tonight's show.

'''LARRY:''' Then whose midriffs are we gonna sign?

'''GARY:''' What happened to all the passes, Teeg?

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' Galactic radio gave them all away. To Mitch Overlord.

''{The members of Limozeen gasp, as we cut to Mitch Overlord's lair}''

'''MITCH OVERLORD:''' That's right, Limozeen! I was the one million, six hundred and eighty-five thousand, four hundred and twenty-first caller! ''{raises his claw-like right hand and opens and shuts it twice}''

''{The members of Limozeen are shown running again, this time from nothing that can be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' And sometimes the magical prankster Bozar appears and turns reality upside-down.

'''BOZAR:''' ''{please fill}'' Limo-losers! How are you going to play tonight's show after I turn your instruments into Italian noodles?

''{The band is greeted with "boooos" as they attempt to play a concert with their noodle-instruments anyway. Mary eats his noodles instead.}''

'''MARY:''' This is the best show ever, guys!

''{laughter is heard}''

'''LARRY:''' Mary, quit eatin' your drums!

''{Cut to the outside of the tour spaceship flying through space. Nebulon flies past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' But most of all, the episode centers around the boys making sure metal stays number one throughout the galaxy.

''{Cut to spaceship interior}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. We've been knocked off the charts in the Forbidden Zone by an alternative rock band.

'''PERRY:''' But their bassist is a girl!

'''MARY:''' And the drummer's got short hair!

'''LARRY:''' And the lead singer wears glasses!

''{Cut back to the couch. Strong Bad throws the remote at Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ow! What was that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' For you and your kind destroying metal! Chuck Taylor-wearing, low self-esteemers...

''{Cut back to the cartoon. The band is practicing as Teeg walks up to them.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. Our pilot episode has been cancelled.

'''LARRY, GARY, PERRY, and MARY:''' What?

'''GARY:''' Oh well. I guess I won't be needing this anymore. ''{throws his guitar offscreen}''

''{Cut to the real Larry on Strong Bad's television, who catches the real equivalent of the guitar.}''

'''LARRY:''' Oh, thanks, Space Gary! I can't believe we got cancelled! Weeeeeell, join us next time, kids! In syndication! Or maybe on DVD! ''{plays a short tune as the TV fades out. Strong Bad returns to the Lappy.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whattaya think, Albi? If that's not the best thing you've ever seen, done, or eaten, then may I politely ask you to gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and um, have all your done ''{short pause}'' removed.

''{The Paper comes down.}

==Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*Teeg Dougland was voiced by [[Mike Chapman]] who looks almost identical to Teeg.
*This flash file version of this e-mail is named sbemail126_mx.swf instead of sbemail126.swf

=== Inside References ===
*Limozeen is a band name Strong Bad made up in [[band names]]. This is their first appearance in cartoon form.
*The green alien which floats by in one scene is Nebulon, as seen in [[New Boots]] and [[Main Page 1]].
*The teleplay for Limozeen's cartoon is written by [[A. Chimendez]].
*Teeg Dougland is the name of the director of the [[Moving Very Slowly]] video on the Strong Bad DVD.

=== Real-World References ===
*The fact that Limozeen's cartoon takes place in space for no good reason is likely a reference to several other cartoons which also took place in space for no reason, like [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-5297/ the Partridge Family, 2200 A.D.], [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2345/ Gilligan's Planet], and [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7865/ Josie & the Pussycats In Outer Space], all of which had extremely short runs (usually only one season).
*"Metalmation" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Filmation|Filmation]] animation studio, with the logos looking very similar. Filmation was famous for churning out cookie-cutter cartoons many of which also took place in space for no good reason.
*The repeated "band being chased" segments may be a reference to a Hanna-Barbera 70's staple of stock-footage chase scenes, most prominently in [[Wikipedia:Scooby_Doo|Scooby-Doo]].
**These segments may also be a reference to "A Hard Day's Night" or [http://www.tvtome.com/Beatles/ The Beatles' cartoon series], both of which featured the band being chased by rabid fans.
*The space-logo of Limozeen is very similar to the logo of the popular Nintendo game Metroid.
*"Four-armed Grimace" is a reference to the purple McDonaldland character. Grimace was originally named "The Evil Grimace", and he had four arms-- so that he could hold four shakes at once.
*"My dear Fatson" is an adaptation of "My dear Watson", a way Sherlock Holmes often addressed his assistant.
*Given his apparent penchant for transforming objects in the pursuit of causing trouble, it's possible that "Bozar" could be a reference to Mister Mxyzptlk from ''Superfriends'' and the Superman comics. I'ts unlikely, however, as Mr. Mxyzptlk had a distinctive look (and size) that Bozar does not share.
*"Bozar" might also be a reference to "The Great Gazoo" from the ''Flintstones.''
*"Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Encounter_at_Farpoint|Encounter at Farpoint]], the first episode of [[Wikipedia:Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]], to the popular TV series [[Wikipedia:Babylon_5|Babylon 5]], or to an amalgamation of the two.
*With his mechanical jaw and arm, Mitch Overlord seems designed to resemble Trap-Jaw; one of Skeletor's henchman in [[Wikipedia:Masters_of_the_Universe|the He-Man tv show]], another popular 80s saturday morning cartoon series.
**Or, The Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon.
**Or, Baron Underbite from The Venture Brothers.
* Larry's comment joining them next time 'In syndication! Or maybe on DVD!' could be a referance to short-lived shows like ''Clerks'' which after they were canceled begain airing in syndicates on other networks or on collectors DVDs.
* Mary asking "How come they made me fat and have red hair?" is a reference to [http://www.tvtome.com/RealGhostbusters/ The Real Ghostbusters], where they made the character of Ray Stantz (played in the Ghostbusters film by Dan Aykroyd) fat, and and gave him red hair for no reason. "Because you're the comic relief-uh!" refers to the fact that Ray was the comic relief, at least among the human characters.
* The alternative rock band that knocked Limozeen off the chart may be a reference to the real-life band [http://evanescence.com/ Evanescence].
**It may also be a composite of 90s post-metal alt bands. Lead Singer wears glasses= Weezer; Bassist that's a girl= Smashing Pumpkins

== Transcript ==

''{The title "Homestar vs. Little Girl" appears. Scene opens to reveal Puppet Homestar with Little Girl. Homestar wears a Santa hat. Throughout the cartoon the action often cuts, as if we're watching selected pieces of a longer video.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you want for Decemberween?

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' I want ''{pauses, contemplating her answer}'' a special! ''{throws her arms into the air to emphasize}''

''{Homestar misinterprets Little Girl's response, due to her lack of enunciation}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{befuddled}'' A space show?

''{Cut to the little girl waving her hands around excitedly. A Christmas tree is now partially visible in the background.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Geet geet geet geet geet geet geet geet.

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{waving back and forth}'' Geet geet geet geet geet geet geet geet.

''{Cut to Homestar's Santa hat sitting crooked on his head.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, did you want to fix my hat?

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Okay.

''{Little Girl attempts to fix the hat with limited success. She tries pulling it down in the front, but it isn't working.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow, my eyes!

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' That's okay.

''{Cut and Homestar's hat is somewhat fixed.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What would you like for Decemberween?

''{Slight cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' DVD.

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DVD?

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Do--do you like all these DVDs? ''{she makes an 'all encompassing' gesture with her hands}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love every DVD that was ever made.

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' What kind of DVD do you like?

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I like space show DVDs best.

''{Cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Going to get lots and lots of presents!

''{Homestar misinterprets Little Girl again}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lots of breakfasts. What type of breakfast do you have?

''{Cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{singing, sort of}'' Some jelly, and peanut butter.

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Jelly, and peanut butter. Jelly, and peanut butter. ''{his hat begins to slip off his head as he sings}'' Here goes my hat.

''{Cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{laughing}'' That sounds like funny.

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It sounds like funny, but it's not.

==Fun Facts==
*This cartoon is an Easter Egg on the [[Decemberween In July]] Menu. To get to it, click on the green light at the top of the screen, directly above the "w" in "Decemberween".
*It seems that this is the only cartoon with a sequel. ([[Homestar vs. Little Girl 2]])
*"Jelly, and peanut butter" might come from a song that small children sing that goes,"Peanut butter, and jelly."
*Homestar mentions "space shows" which is the name of one of tapes from the easter egg in [[12:00]].

HRWiki:2005 Spring Fundraising Drive

AgentSeethroo: /* How Can I Help? */

It's that time again. Since we can't legally sell any products or advertising space on our site, a pledge drive is the only way for us to afford the cost of high-bandwidth hosting. This pledge drive will be held from Monday, March 7, 2005 to Monday, March 28, 2005. If we reach our goal before the official end of the pledge drive, the sitewide messages will be removed.

== Why Raise Funds? ==
You probably noticed we recently moved to a new server. If you'd like to know more about what's going on, you can send an email to [mailto:info@hrwiki.org info@hrwiki.org]. We'll be happy to send more information.

Our hosting cost on the old server was US$8/month and we were paid in full through April 2005. In order to move to the new server, we started paying US$50/month back in January. That probably wasn't necessary, but we feel it's better to be paid far in advance rather than have something go wrong when we forget to make a payment. Plus, it keeps Joey from spending your money. :)

By our calculations, we should now be paid in full until June or July 2005. With the additional funds we have in our reserves, we will run out of money somewhere around August or September 2005.

== The Goal ==
We'd like to raise US$1,000. With this amount, we will have enough to cover hosting costs until March of 2007, assuming we don't have to upgrade again before then.

This may sound like a lot of money, but please don't feel obligated to donate large amounts just to reach our goal. If only 100 users donate US$10, we'll raise the entire amount. We have over a thousand registered users on the wiki. At least a hundred of those should be active contributors or frequent readers. If you use the site often, US$10 is a small amount to ask for the next two years. If you are a power user (you know who you are), US$20 is still quite a reasonable amount.

== How Can I Help? ==
To make a donation, please utilize our [[HRWiki:Donations|donations]] page or send a [https://www.paypal.com PayPal] payment directly to [mailto:donations@hrwiki.org donations@hrwiki.org].

Of course, you are under no obligation to donate. Please feel free to continue using the site even if you're unable to contribute financially. Just being a member of the wiki and helping out where you can is more than enough contribution in itself.

To those who donate and to those who contribute to our community in other ways, thank you.

Broken Compy Menu

AgentSeethroo — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 19:37:38 GMT

AgentSeethroo: Reverted edit of 199.243.125.2, changed back to last version by FireBird

[[Image:Shotgunned_menu.png|thumb|Homestar, did you come here for a reason?]]

'''Strong Bad Email?'''

Homestar Runner complains about pricing while Bubs tries to unload the shotgunned [[Compy 386]]. The menu was created after the Compy 386 "died".

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]]

'''Date:''' November 22, 2004

'''Note:''' This short was no longer available as of November 29, 2004.

__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
''{The shot opens with the shotgunned Compy 386 with a piece of paper taped to the front of it listing all of the current Strong Bad emails. After about 10 seconds, Homestar Runner starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? ''{camera zooms out so we can see Homestar and the rest of the concession stand, with Bubs nowhere in sight}'' Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!

''{Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Doot doot doo... alright, I'm back!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Nothing!

'''BUBS:''' Who were you just talkin' to?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?

'''BUBS:''' Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?

''{camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, ''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}'' did you come up here for a reason?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, freedom?

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A low-priced automobile!

'''BUBS:''' Well, why didn't you say so? I've got one right here! ''{Bubs gestures toward the shotgunned Compy}'' Just in! Fresh from the factory goodness!

''{camera changes back to the interior view of the concession stand. Homestar performs several double takes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you trying to sell me a lemon?

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, I'm not gonna lie to you.

''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' You're not gonna find a better deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sold! Sold! ''{deeper voice}'' Sold!

''{The camera cuts back to the menu taped on the broken Compy 386}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This toon replaced the Compy 386 email menu after its destruction in "virus", and doubled as the replacement email menu.
*When the Tandy 400 exploded, [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.

===Glitches===
*If you let the animation start, the menu has a bug that causes the emails to count up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title will direct you to the email one previous to it. This also means [[some kinda robot]] directed to 'sbemail0.html' and [[virus]] could only be accessed from the menu by clicking the very top of the word ''virus''. Also, [[flashback]] takes you to 'emailahundred.html' instead of 'sbemailahundred.html', whether or not you let the animation play.
**Similarly, after the animation plays, "car" links to sbemail100.html, "[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]"

===Remarks===
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "sbemail.swf," it was "sbemail_shotgunned.swf"
**This might be so it can still be accessed when the menu is replaced.

===Goofs===
*The Compy 386 is missing the contrast dial.
*The font used for the email names does not include an underscore ('_') character, so 'sb_email 22' appears with a square instead of an underscore.

===Inside References===
*The line, "I'm not gonna lie to you," spoken by both Homestar and Bubs, was also spoken by Homsar in [[for kids]].

[[Image:lappyemail.png|thumb|Strong Bad checks his email for the first time on his Lappy.]]

'''Strong Bad Email #119'''

Strong Bad has a new computer! Introducing... [[Lappy 486]]! Meanwhile, Spud Jr. asks Strong Bad what he would like as if he was his own made up animal.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Made Up Strong Bad Animals]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[Baby Styles]], [[Sterrance]], [[The Cheat]]

'''Date:''' November 29, 2004

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. A tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen, ''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy}'' came a man. ''{sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it}'' A man with a plastic rectangle. I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER! ''{unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left}'' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dum… ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds ''{the words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.) appear in the top right}'' and features an impressive battery life ''{the words ""Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen}'' of one half of ten minutes. ''{the words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan}'' The Lappy 486 ''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}'' by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails. ''{types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy}''

<pre>subject: made up animal
Dear Strong Bad,
What would you like as if you were your own made up
animal
Sincerely,
Spud Jr.
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if…"'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{stops typing}'' All right, I'm done. ''{clears the screen and resumes typing}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis ''{pronounced "pro-boss-kiss" throughout}''
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three segmented eyes, two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there monstrosity, do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond, makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking surprised. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{[[Powered by The Cheat|PBTC]] Voice}'' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'' Pocket PCs…

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbtC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot... of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{pronounces each letter of huuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh"}''

''{Cut to the field, where there is an enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."} {a large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure}'' Eew! No. No huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{enters from right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure}'' Oh, wow! Look at the huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um… how about… the red steckled elbermung? ''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no. ''{the lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word}'' Um… the pardack? ''{some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack"}'' What the? ''{the pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strongbadia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance. ''{a blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, yellow feet, angel wings, a yellow tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing}'' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it}'' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother! ''{The Paper begins to edge down}'' Come on! ''{he edges down a bit more}'' It's okay! ''{he edges back a bit}'' No, ah! Come on! ''{he edges down a bit}'' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges! ''{he comes down a bit more}'' That's it! ''{he comes all the way down}'' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny! ''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

<pre> Enough already, Strong Bad

:''{The Homestar lure and the dancing woman are at a disco, Powered by The Cheat style. Two disco balls hang from the ceiling and a rough approximation of music is playing.}''
:'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Hey there, Baby Styles. This is a nice dancing club, right? Do you have a phone at your house?
*Click on the words 'The Cheat' to see what the runners-up get.
:''{Cut to the pedestal of The Show again. The fanglyfish is on it.}''

PROVIDED BY
Styles
Upon
Styles</pre>
'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Steep prices and trees! ''{these words appear on the bottom of the screen as he says them}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.

===Trivia===
*This, obviously, is the end of the [[Compy 386]] era and the beginning of the Lappy 486 era.
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
===Remarks===
*One of Strong Bad's picks of animal accessories and options is listed as "Segmented Eyes," although he evidently meant "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eyes]]" in his trademark lingo.
*Since the proboscis is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both Tandy and Compy used to occupy -- which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the computer room.
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male, yet in the email [[invisibility]] the [[Tandy 400]] says that the printer is a girl.
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few references to Christmas on the site, since Christmas is replaced by [[Decemberween]].

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The eerie, breezy sound at the beginning originated in [[ghosts]]. It is re-used in [[The System Is Down]] and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*The new page title is a reference to [[the facts]] in which Homestar says "not no more."

===Real-World References===
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE]. However, Strong Bad uses the "strongbad_email.exe" filename, rather than "./strongbad_email", or, more appropriately, "./strongbad-email".
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, what's your moniker?

'''STINKOMAN:''' I go by Stinko Man. That's the name of a talented fighter if ever there was one.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, if you say so. Would you care for some dry meal? ''{pulls out a bag of dry meal which makes a dry coughing sound}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! I'm training for fighting, or maybe a challenge. So what's that thing you're kicking around?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's just an old can of water soup. I kick it around ever since my dog worshed away in the storm of '28.

'''STINKOMAN:''' You seem like you might not be from around here. Do you have any special powers?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can play a mean worshboard. ''{pulls out a washboard that says "worsh it" and plays it}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Whoa, what is that? ''What'' is ''that?'' Some kinda robot?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's a robut?

'''STINKOMAN:''' You don't know what a robot is? Hahaha! You're so dumb! Hahaha! Dumb.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, go soak your fat head.

'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for a CHALLENGE? ''{starts to power up}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir. Yes sir I am.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{jumps high into the air}'' [[Double Deuce|DOUBLE DEUCE]]!!!!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pulls out a pea shooter and shoots at him}'' Ptooie. ''{it hits Stinko Man in the eye}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{falls to the ground}'' Ow! My eye! It's like, my eye! It hurts so bad!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, folks, you know what that means. Now I'll do a dance. ''{starts dancing to what sounds like the Charleston}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hahaha! That dance cracks me up! Hahaha! You gotta teach me!

== Fun Facts ==
*[[Stinkoman]] asking "''What is that?'' Some kinda robot?" is a reference to the Strong Bad Email [[some kinda robot]].
*The kicking attack Stinkoman practices bears a strong resemblance to [[wikipedia:Chun Li|Chun Li]]'s lightning kick attack from the Street Fighter 2 series.

Talk:Main Page

AgentSeethroo — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 17:46:04 GMT

AgentSeethroo: /* New */

== Links to toons/pages ==

''This has been refactored.'' There was some discussion about whether "External Links" should go at the top or bottom of the page. A few people liked having them at the top for easy access to H*R.com, but it was eventually decided that they should go at the bottom, following Wikipedia's example.

== Screenshots ==
''This has been refactored.'' It would be nice if we could figure out how to make the screenshots on toon/email pages into thumbnails. This would get them out of the way so that content isn't pushed too far down the page. We need (read: Joey needs) to talk to our host about getting Image::Magick installed on the server before that will be possible.

== Upload file ==
''This has been refactored.'' There is some concern that some members of our community (or outsiders for that matter) will upload unnecessary or innappropriate images. It was decided that they could link to them just as easily as they could download them, and it's better for the images to be hosted here than free sites that may be unstable. Bandwidth is not really an issue, though it probably would spike if we allowed uploads (and consequently a lot of image downloads) from our server. There are a number of special pages we can use to monitor uploads so they will not get out of hand: [[Special:Imagelist]], [[Special:Unusedimages]].
:Is there any way to make GIF an allowed format? I don't like GIF any more than the next guy, but it's useful sometimes. For example, the 'tear' icon from [[Strong Sad's Lament]] is an animated GIF, and I'd like to upload it for posterity (since the Lydia one fell off the face of the Earth).

::We can't upload GIFs? I had no idea. I'll look into it. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 08:54, 26 Aug 2004 (MST)

::: Sorry this took me so long, but I've checked into it and it seems to me like we can upload GIFs just fine. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 16:50, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Adding the rest of the stuff ==
Okay, I did a few tweaks on AgentSeethroo's addition. We have to figure out a few things:
#How to list the Characters on the [[Characters]] page. I know the few characters we have setup now were done with categories. I don't know how we are going to get them all (secondary etc.) on one page.
#I indented the 3 Features. They are under Toons, but I know they deserve a spot on the Main Menu... any other suggestions on how to do that?
#Rejects/Everything Else - what to call the page. Or even if we need that page. Should we just list everything on the Characters page under several headings? And we have to figure out what the categories are going to be.
Ideas everyone? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:10, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Okay...
#I'm not a huge fan of the Character page on the old wiki, but we may have to do something similar due to the amount of character "aliases" or whatever...I'll have to think about that for a little bit.
#I think the indention is okay, but it's the only thing on the page that's indented. It makes it look kinda wierd. I also thought the [[Features]] link was gonna get ditched from the main page? Maybe I got lost sometime...
#This is gonna take some discussion I think. I think it should go byebye, and if anyone makes ANY pages that could be deemed NOT canon or not very important, like ANYTHING in rejects, it goes under the category of Misc. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 09:55, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Yeah, we need to get Joey in on this discussion. I know he had some great ideas that seem to escape me at the moment. And you are right about the indent. But maybe we could have other indents?

Some of these pages are pretty big. I know that games page might work as two pages. Then an "Old Games" page could be indented underneath or something. Joey? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:39, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::I think that characters can be broken down, as well as games. Maybe even places...maybe...
But I don't wanna randomly start indenting and cluttering things up, either... Joey? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 12:14, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::Hm. Does ''every'' character have to go on the Characters page? I think rejected characters shouldn't even show up on the Characters page. If they are linked to from the toons/emails they appear in, or if someone references them in comments, then that's fine. The pages for Rejects should be created, but they need to be designated as stubs. Or, perhaps we can have a "Disputed Characters" category (or whatever name was decided on in that poll a while back, and then create a "Disputed Characters" template that says something like, "The validity of this character is in question. If you feel that this character should be considered for placement within the 'Characters' category, discuss it on the talk page." --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:01, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::I agree. Keep them off the Characters page, and create a category for them at most. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 09:07, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::::Yeah, keep them off the Characters page. But okay then, we need to set up a good system of rules to determine what's going to go in that category/on that page, and say... what's an Inside Joke. And I like the template idea. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:19, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::::And quit asking for my input. I trust you guys. Do what you feel is proper. As for the "features" link, it should go. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:43, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Sketchbook? ==
I just had a thought...should we have the [[Sketchbook]] here on the main page, since it's being updated weekly (or so), or will it only be in the museum?

:That's a good question. We were behind a few weeks when they started doing the Weekly Fanstuff, because we didn't know they weren't going to archive it. I say as long as we have it somewhere and record it for now, we're good either way. If it becomes as regular as Weekly Fanstuff or the Quote of the Week, then we can add it to a more prominent place. I guess. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:13, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:: I do'd it anyway! HA! How's it look? Someone was keepin' up with it already, so I just moverized it.-- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:41, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Wiki Stuff ==
Okay, now that that's kinda settled...How are we gonna format the WikiStuff section of the main page? I know not everything will be included in this new wiki, but some stuff needs a place, like HelpDesk and WikiSandbox and whatnot. Do we just follow the same formatting as the old wiki, even though it may be like 5 links and that's it? Is it possible to make a sidebar links thingy that'd show up on every page? That'd be awesome, and it'd set us apart a little more.
Also, half of the pages that we linked on the main page make me wanna barf. I wonder why we never looked these things over periodically? I mean the downloads page, on a scale of 1 to 10 is horrible.5. There's gonna have to be some major overhauling of most those pages to make them look WAY more professional. I'd like to make this a site that TBC can NOT ignore, ya know?
-- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:58, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Ah, very good questions. MediaWiki has these things called "[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespace Namespace]s". For example the "Category:" part of the link puts the page in the "Category" namespace. Our Wiki's namespace for pages like the sandbox and stuff would go under "Homestar Runner Wiki:" just like the [[Homestar Runner Wiki:General disclaimer]] and [[Homestar Runner Wiki:FAQ]] pages. The HelpDesk is in the "Help:" namespace. See [[Help:Contents]]. Also, a lot of that is under the "Special:" namespace: [[Special:Allpages|Allpages]], [[Special:Listusers|Listusers]], [[Special:Ipblocklist|Ipblocklist]], and so on. We can put stuff over there on the sidebar too. And yes, some of those pages are totally "barf" as you say. I couldn't agree with you more. Maybe someone else has some suggestions on all this... Joey? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:29, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Homestar_Runner_Wiki namespace ==
The Homestar_Runner_Wiki namespace ''really'' needs to be shortened to just HRWiki. Sewiously. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 01:16, 14 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Any idea how I do that? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:04, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Hm. I think I've made the change, but things are still pointing to the wrong places. Check out the "Search" page. The namespace is called the right thing there. However, the "About" and "Disclaimers" pages still point to "Homestar_Runner_Wiki:About" and "Homestar_Runner_Wiki:General_Disclaimer". I'm also looking into changing the name of "Current events" to "H*R.com updates" and making the "Community portal" link a "WikiForum" link instead. On a related note, I found a really useful page for the admins: [[Special:Allmessages]]. This lets us change all of the various system messages. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:38, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::Okay, I'm a confused kid right now. I've edited at least three of the system messages, but they aren't changing. I've changed them from the [[Special:Allmessages]] page and directly in the Languages.php file. What the heck am I doing wrong?? Specifically, I'm talking about the "portal", "portal-url" and "copyrightwarning" pages. Here's where I learned about this: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_namespace. Help! --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:47, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::Okay, our case-change stuff messed up more than I thought it would. Apparently, while I was editing "portal", "portal-url" and "copyrightwarning", I should've been editing "Portal", "Portal-url", and "Copyrightwarning". I wonder if there's some way we can limit our case-change stuff to just the HRWiki namespace. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 11:01, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::Hmm, now the WikiForum link links to a Wiki page called "http://forum..." Hrm.

== Let's Open 'er Up ==
So, lately I've had this horribly sick feeling that things have gone all wrong. This wiki is a community, and therefore a project like this should be done as a community. What we should do, above anything, is get things ready to be opened up. I'd like to see our community finish moving emails, toons, and characters (maybe I'm just lazy, but I really do feel that this is a matter of principle).

I know some of you might be freaking out and thinking that we can't trust our users to move stuff the right way, but think about this: This community has worked so far precisely because we have given everyone the freedom to edit any document. This is the wiki way! If we don't trust our community to get things right, why is this even a wiki in the first place? We might as well just have a normal website maintained by the dozen of us that are working on this migration right now.

So, what we really need to do is all the stuff that's necessary for this place to be operational. We need to build the documentation, make sure all the namespaces and options are set up the way we want them, etc. What do you guys think of this? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:31, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Okay, this is a little scary. I think for the mostpart, you're right, but we still have to issue of page load. If we open up both the old wiki and the new wiki to everybody, things are going to slow to a crawl again. Can you think of any solution to this? Also, I'm afraid we'll have tons of collision problems with lots of people working on the same documents at the same time. And a lot of people are going to try to copy-and-past things the lazy way, without taking the time to fix links, etc. I agree that this should be a community effort, but I think we have to resolve those issues first. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 09:37, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

::I know you guys know I'm against opening it up. We don't even have any of our help page written yet. Or have the copyrights worked out: we have one place that says GNU and one place that says CC. And Jones is right about that page load. and the everyone doing everything at once thing. Just some more stuff to think about.
::As to the problem Joey's dealing with: our not giving everyone the freedom to edit... I think that would create more problems. Joey's right, giving everyone editing rights makes the wiki better, but that happens over a longer period of time. Right now we have to think on the short term. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:25, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::I agree with the Tom and Jones. This place is still a wiki, people will still be able to edit it when it opens up. Lettin' everyone on right now, even to help, would be kinda like lettin' a bunch of kids into an amusement park before it's finished and saying "You have to help us finish, though." There. My two cents. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 08:34, 31 Aug 2004 (MST)

== CSS Tweaks ==
Joey, could you increase the paragraph (P tags) spacing in the CSS? It's a little difficult to make out paragraph boundaries right now. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 09:37, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Working on it... --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:38, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Done. Sorry it took me so long. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:13, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Case issues ==
I just noticed something that might be an issue. Since we made case matter (for the emails), we now have the issue of [[Ballad of the Sneak]] and [[Ballad of The Sneak]] (and every other case variation) being two completely distinct pages. Is this going to be a problem? -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 09:39, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:This is already a problem on Wikipedia for any word after the first word. For instance, try looking up "George bush". We'll (and when I say we, I'm talking about the whole community, not just us admins) just have to pay close attention and create redirects where necessary -- at least until all the links can be fixed. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:56, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Okay, "George bush" is a bad example because there's already a redirect. Try "Greek orthodox". --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:57, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::Okay, no probalo. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]

::::Yeah, we have this issue with [[The Paper]] and [[The paper]]. I think Joey did the redirect for that. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:25, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Flash file links ==
Okay, so this has kinda been buggin' me for a while. Whoever first called it "watch this video in fullscreen" obviously had no idea they were linking to the actual raw flash file. Since then, we've continued to call it "watch this video in fullscreen". Can we change it to "download the flash file of this video", or something more meaningful? What do you think? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 10:34, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Hm, I guess you're right. Though I wish you'd mentioned it before I did all the toons. :D Anyway, "download" isn't quite the right term, since it'll just play in most people's browsers. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 10:52, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Hm. It downloads in Firefox, but I guess that's probably a preference setting. "view the flash file"? "watch the flash file"? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 11:13, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::"view the Flash file" seems good to me. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 11:32, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

::We could use a template, like: <nowiki>[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail50.swf Download the Flash file] {{swf}}</nowiki>, and the <nowiki>{{swf}}</nowiki> prints a small boilerplate saying it may download the Flash file or it may instead view it in "fullscreen". - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 13:48, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Convertulator suggestions ==

StrongBadEmail should be automagically changed to [[Strong Bad Email]]. Anyplace where StrongBadEmail/ appears, it should be removed, so [[StrongBadEmail/flashback]] automagically becomes [[flashback]]. Only problem would be links like this: [[StrongBadEmail/flashback|flashback]]. They would turn out like this: [[flashback|flashback]], which I suppose isn't a big deal, but it's unnecessary bloat. We'll just have to watch for those. --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 11:39, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

:I've implemented your suggestions. However, I did find one small bug. If you have a (()) Wiki link that itself is in parentheses, e.g. "(((Some Page)) here)", the Convertulator will convert the first pair of parentheses, yielding <nowiki>[[(Some Page]] here)</nowiki>. There's no easy fix for this, so unfortunately we'll just have to just be on the lookout for it. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 14:17, 24 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Characters featured ==

While adding Filmography categories, I noticed something. The featured characters lists don't seem to be in any particular order. I've been alphabetizing for the filmography categories, but I think the "Featured:" list should be in order of appearance. Maybe it should say...

'''Cast (in order of appearance): [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Homsar]]'''

What do you guys think? --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 09:53, 27 Aug 2004 (MST)

:I've always tried to do them in order of appearance. Seems like a good standard to me. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 10:54, 27 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Navigation links on left ==

Two, maybe three of the nav links on the left have odd tooltips.

*'''Main Page''' - Visit the main page [alt-z]
**This is fine.
*'''Strong Bad Email''' - About the project, what you can do, where to find things
**Obviously this isn't what it is at all.
*'''H*R.com updates''' - Find background information on current events
**And nor is this ''really''.
*'''Recent changes''' - The list of recent changes in the wiki. [alt-r]
**Also fine.
*'''Random page''' - Load a random page. [alt-x]
**Also fine.
*'''Help''' - The place to find out.
**Slightly odd?

Also, we probably ought to have shortcuts for everything or nothing.

:Very good catch. I didn't even notice that the alt text was still set for the default links that used to be there. We also need to get the external links to the WikiForum and the WikiChat there as well. Thanks for the heads up, "84.9.23.83". -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:34, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

:You're welcome! I've got myself a proper account now. - [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 11:00, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

== Inside jokes ==

Why are [[Inside Jokes]] classified as "wiki stuff"? They are part of the content of H*R, and do not refer to the workings of the wiki. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 00:31, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

I guess Rejects are in that same catagory. Plus things like the glossary just kind of float somewhere in between. I think some reformatting of the section definitions are in order, as long as the Main Page is recieving an overhaul. Any additional design suggestions? -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 01:35, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

I was just doing some more thinking, and what about having the Knowledge Base contain ONLY the things listed on the H*R main page(s), and put everything left over into Wiki Stuff. Basically it would look something like this, and would have the added bonus of evening the two sections out, leaving External Links on the bottom...

* [[Toons]]
** [[Strong Bad Email]]
** [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]
** [[Teen Girl Squad]]
** [[Powered By The Cheat]]
** [[Puppet Stuff]]
** [[Holiday Toons]]
* [[Games]]
* [[Characters]]
* [[Downloads]]
* [[Store]]
* [[Email]]
* [[Legal]]
* [[Main Pages]]
** [[Weekly Fanstuff]]
** [[Quote of the Week]]
** [[Sketchbook]]
* [[Museum]]
* [[Secret Pages]]

Then this to the right of it: (Perhaps the first part in an additional section)

* [[Places]]
* [[Items]]
* [[Songs]]
* [[Quotes]]
* [[Glossary]]
* [[Inside Jokes]]
(Perhaps another section here?)
* [[Special:Listusers|List of registered wiki users]]
* [[Links]]
* [[Sightings]]
* [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]]
* [[HRWiki:Ledger|Ledger]]
* [[HRWiki:Projects|Projects]]
* [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]
* [[WikiTroll]]
* [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming committee]]

Then the external links in another catergory. Does anyone like this idea? I think it draws a clearer distinction between things organized by the site, and additional Knowledge sorted by the Wiki. I think a clearer illustration would be that the Knowlege base is simply the 10 vegetables, and the Wiki Stuff is all the different salads they can be made into. Does anyone understand this very abstract illustration? As of now there is no clear line drawn, and many pages float in between. At the very least pages like [[Inside Jokes]] and [[Songs]] seem to be in the same catergory and in my opinion should be sorted accordingly. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 01:48, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

The Wiki Stuff should be for all the internal housekeeping pages like help pages, list of Trolls, ongoing projects and the like. The material that branches out from the core H*R content like [[Sightings]] can be grouped together, but they are not Wiki specific things. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 12:44, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

Then what about renaming the section, or even adding a seperate section? Perhaps name that one something like... 'Base Knowledge', and the other one like 'Secondary Knowledge', or something like that. Then have Wiki Troll, Ledger, Ect. under 'Wiki Stuff'. Or move EVERYTHING H*R related to Knowlege base, including Inside Jokes, ect, but that would make the menu look very offset... -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 12:58, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Does anybody have an opinion about my idea? I think it's a good layout... -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 22:56, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

== New Format = <strike>Banners</strike>? ==

I like the new format, it does make the title screen smaller, and more... colorful, I guess, but what happened to those cool banners? Any way to incorporate them into the design at the tops of the boxes? They really gave the main page a distinct look, and I would like to see them live again. If they don't fit, could whoever made them maybe remake one or two for a custom fit? I dunno, just a suggestion. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 01:28, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

Also as long as we're on the topic of the new format, what about moving the External Links to below the Wiki Stuff section? There's alot of unused space there. Might even get the page to one screen, without scrolling. Plus should anyone put the explanations of the links back? There seems to be a lack of explanations, only half the links have them. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 01:32, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Ah ha. I uploaded the banners to [[:Image:officialsite-banner.png]], [[:Image:wikipages-banner.png]], and [[:Image:externallinks-banner.png]]. I'm hoping that someone will come up with something similar that will work with this format. I'm thinking the width should be limited to around 100px.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:16, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

I don't see what was wrong with a lil' scrolling. I'm taking this very harshly. It was my only reminder of the old wiki. --[[User:Lunar Jesters|Lunar Jesters]] 14:08, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

:It reminds me a lot of Wikipedia. Maybe to much. I'm thinkin' we need something to "liven" the page up a bit, maybe like an official "Homestar Runner Wiki" banner across the top of the page. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

== Other New Format comments ==

Oh, gosh, I looked at the new format and I almost lost my lunch. It's so ugly! I really think the old banners should be back! Is there a way we can get them back?

[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]] 17:04, 17 Nov 2004

I agree, the Banners are needed. Any way to put them along the tops of the colored boxes, even custom stretching them to fit? I think that would look rather good. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 16:33, 17 Nov 2004 (

:It's not that big of a deal. If you puked over this, I'd hate to ride a Tilt-A-Whirl with you. Get over it. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

::I'm starting to notice a pattern of people percieving improvements as being evil here, first with the switchover from Tavi to this, then the reformatting of the front page. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 02:53, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

::If there's one thing that never changes, it's that people are afraid of change, no matter how much it improves their lives. Never try to give your grandma a new TV. Anyway, the banners aren't gone for good. The ones we were using just don't fit in the new layout. And just so we're clear: messing about with the front page just because you "liked it better before" is trolling and will be handled as such. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

::uh, how does this change improve my life? I guess the layout is more functional, but as for improvement, I don't think it really adds anything to the site.

::: I agree. It looks more crowded and ugly. Needs more color, like the homestar runner website. Keeping the new layout is fine, we just need smaller banners. (Btw, why is keeping the old layout trolling, yet putting up a worse layout not? I agree with your point, I just find that statement a very harsh thing that goes agenst the wiki spirit.) Also, this layout looks like crap at 800x600 --[[User:James|James]] 13:52, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)
::::The reason reverting to the old layout is trolling is quite simple: Tom (one of the mods) is the one that did the redesign, and since the mods have the most say in how the Wiki is set up, they have authority. Changing it back because you don't like this new version, therefore, is showing contempt for the mods and so on and so forth. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:58, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::::What about coming up with a better design that everyone likes? Is this ok? --[[User:James|James]] 18:22, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

::Can't we settle this with a vote? --[[User:Lunar Jesters|Lunar Jesters]] 18:17, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::I don't know. Whichever wins, a whole mess of people would be mad. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

::Afraid of change, no. Liked the banners, yes. :( --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 21:47, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

::The banners were awesome and the new design is awful. I downloaded the banners (thanks Tom) and I am willing to make new ones (that's part of what I do for a living). I will make a couple and see what everyone thinks.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]]

::I'll help if you need it. I made the origenal banners that started this whole thing off anyway. :-) --[[User:James|James]] 14:46, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

::DONE! Here is one --> [[:Image:knowledgebase-banner-small.png]]. I kept the theme of the old banners. If there are any changes you would like to see, tell me. Let me know if you want to use these and I will make the other two.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]]

:::Thats a little small, ain't it? what about something 200 pixels wide? --[[User:James|James]] 18:33, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::[[Image:knowledgebase-banner-200px.png]] {200 x 50 px} [[Image:knowledgebase-banner-small.png]]{100 x 50 px} -[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]]
:::: That looks great! Could you make the other two sctions also? The "External Links" one might have to be larger, as that section goes all the way across the bottom of the page. --[[User:James|James]] 12:47, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::: I will go ahead and do the other two soon. I am going to do them all the same size and then we can decide if the one needs to be bigger and exactly how much bigger.[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]] 20:20, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

::::Nevermind...External links has been moved.[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]] 09:17, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

Also, it is really annoying that the "knowledge base" frame is about 10% bigger than the "Wiki Stuff" frame. Why is this?-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]]

::Yes! I've been noticing this and it's driving me up the wall. If anything, the "Wiki stuff" frame should be bigger simply because there is more text that wraps on it. Having it smaller then "Knowledge base" is retarded, mostly since the "Knowledge base" frame has very little text that extends all the way to the border. --[[User:James|James]] 18:21, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

I just did a quick preview of the main page with equal frames and it looks so much better then when it's 10% off. Theres absolutely no reason I see for the 10% diffrence. Or is there something I'm missing? --[[User:James|James]] 18:26, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::Hi James. I'm glad you are thinking of changes for the Main Page. However, I'd like to ask that you refrain from using words such as "retarded" as this can be offensive to developmentally disabled people.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:04, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

::::Ok. Sorry. --[[User:James|James]] 17:09, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::::ARGH! I just started this thread to comment, not to have a "This is better, shut up this is better" argument. I was figuratively saying that I almost lost my lunch. I don't really give a care if we go back to the banners and just keep our look. I was just offering an opinion. --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]] 13:29, 24 Nov 2004 (CST)

== New Banners ==

I'm happy to see that [[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]] has created some proposals for new banners. I'm sure as many of you have already done, I've tried them on the page in a quick "preview". (Please note that they most likely will be contained in code like ''<nowiki><div style="float:right;margin-left:1em;width:100px">[[Image:knowledgebase-banner-small.png]]</div></nowiki>'' so that they will float to the appropriate area in the section.) While they do add somewhat to the page, I think they could be improved upon. While a small width must be maintained, I don't think it would create a problem if the image had a greater height. If anyone cares to propose more images, just add them to the discussion here.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:40, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

== The Character Silhouettes ==

I think Joey Day has the solution for us, looking at the main page now. Skipping the whole banners or no argument and doing something that integrates itself perfectly into the new design? Very very nice. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I love those, but perhaps resize one to be the same general dimensions as the other? It bothers me slightly. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 14:43, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

::Hm. I actually shrunk Strong Bad a bit because I thought he looked too big compared to Homestar. Now that I've watched a few toons I've realized Strond Bad just has a really big head. I'm not at home now or I would redo the image right now. I'll try to do it later tonight. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 16:09, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

:One other small adjustment: I think the characters could stand to be just a little darker; I can hardly see them on my laptop unless I move my screen to just the right angle. Otherwise, it looks really good. Nice job, JoeyDay. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 14:41, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Enhancement/Modification of Logo==

Props to the individual who tweaked the wiki's main logo image that appears in the upper left-hand corner. It certainly says something about our wiki - I love the polished look and it really is a marked improvement. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 15:02, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

:Thanks. I've been meaning to modify it for some time now. The text was way too small before. Did you also notice I swapped out the default mediawiki background for a more better homestar styled background? You can see it best on a short page like [[Labor Day|this one]]. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 22:41, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

::Now that's really cool. I like both the new logo and the new background. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 20:28, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
::Yeah, I like the new background and logo. You may as well call it Mono[[The Field|TheField]]. [[User:woddfellow2|<nowiki></nowiki>]]-<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 20:37, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

:: Good call on the background. I never noticed. But yea, now I notice a lack of lines along the top. You've really done a good job of personalizing the Wiki. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:47, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Hello ==

What is a wiki, this is crazy, can someone like tell me what to do, i look at HR weekly, anyone got any new updates

:One thing is we use correct grammar. Which includes correct capitolization and punctuation. To find out about this "crazy place", read up at the [[HRWiki:About]] page, or ask up any questions in the [[Help:Contents|Help Desk]]. (Oh, and for updates, there's a little thing called [http://www.homestarrunner.com homestarrunner.com] where there's this thing in the corner. It usually has updates, if I'm not mistaking. :) ) But anyways, a wiki is very easy to use if you know how, which you will learn at the [[HRWiki:About]] page. Trust me. You'll love it here if you decide to stick around.→''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

== Gr8 Job! ==

You guys do a great job at keeping troublemakers from ruining this site.

If someone would have asked me about the concept of Wiki before I saw it in action, I probably would have been very skeptical that trasher control would be effective.

Boy was I wrong.

Thanks FortyTwo and all you great detrollers out there!

:Wow, A shoutout! *sniff* I'm touched... Thanks! --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 19:53, 28 Dec 2004 (MST)

:You're number 439.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:42, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== 2004/2005 Tsunami Donation Link ==

I was just reading up on the [[Wikipedia:2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake|Indian Ocean Earthquake]] and realized how incredibly horrible this event was, and I'm seriously thinking we need some kind of banner to a donation link to the Wikipedia donation page. Or something like that. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

How very specific your request is.
-[[User:Fhqwhgadshgnsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf|Fhq]]

Fhq, what's your point? It's a good idea, don't give him crap because he's thinking larger than himself.
Bird, perhaps you should send Joey a PM on the forum. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

:Just in case anyone was wondering, we won't be adding a notice to the Main Page. If you'd like to put a notice on your userpage, that would be acceptable.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:14, 7 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Dubious reference solution ==

Over the past few Strongbad e-mail articles, I've read a lot of (to be frank) farfetched suggestions of references that TBCs are presumably making to other stuff. Maybe, if you're 100% sure that something is intended as a reference (for example, a character name or line very specific to one TV show), then it's fine to say it's a reference. But if something just seems to remind you of something else (for example, a song that sounds kinda-sorta like a song that was played in the 23rd episode of some TV series), then it's more accurate to say that it is '''reminiscent''' of something, rather than a reference to something.

Just a suggestion.

:A wonderful suggestion, and it goes along with the ongoing discussion we are having regarding the overhaul of our current fun fact system. Thank you for your concern and idea.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:52, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Locking down the main page ==

I visited today and noticed that the main page had been defaced. Someone else restored the last known good version, but it seems to me that the front page should not be editable by just anyone for this exact reason. Even the main page of Wikipedia is off-limits to anyone except staff...
:Yeah, I want the main page protected as well... [[User:woddfellow2|<nowiki></nowiki>]]-<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 14:05, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)
-It happened again. This must be done NOW.

:Look, the template does nothing to prevent trolling; it's a redundancy. Locking down the Main Page is a good way to go, since nothing really changes there, anyway. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 14:26, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

I find it funny how the MediaWiki's been around for at least 5 months now and only NOW are people starting to complain about wanting the Main Page locked down. Personally, I think it's prime idiot bait, as in "if you deface the main page, you're automatically not fit to be on the wiki." --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:02, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

You could have a way to detect whether someone is severely defaceing the page or not. --[[User:67.161.224.65|67.161.224.65]]

::Okay, due to several requests and the seeming lack of need to update the Main Page, I've protected it. Please note that I do not like having it protected, this being a wiki and all, but I agree that it really doesn't need to be edited that much and is just sitting there as troll fodder. Thanks to all who helped with that last batch of defacement.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:12, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::I never change the main page, so I'm pretty happy with that, but I do have one concern. Might the Trollers who automatically go to work on the Main Page to start with, now be forced to move onto smaller, harder to detect defacements on other pages? What if we're only spreading the diease? [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 18:46, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::A good concern, and lucky for me I have this wonderful ditty to cite:
::::''...the fact is that for every troll with too much spare time, there are 100 users with just as much spare time ready and eager to undo that troll's (un)work. The fact is, the trolls always get bored before the users do, because the users are emotionally invested in what they've created and the Wiki moves fast enough that the average trolling only lasts about two minutes before it's reverted. A troll's work is hardly ever noticed by anybody, but a legitimate user's work is always noticed and appreciated. That's why wikis work. — InterruptorJones 15:37, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)'' ([[User_talk:FireBird#Question_from_Troll|ref]])

::::::That is, unless said troll or trolls are emotionally invested in destroying the wiki. --Guest

== Confusion over moving dates ==

The [[Main Page]] says that HRWiki will be moving 'from early Friday morning (Feb. 25) to late Sunday evening (Feb. 27)', but every other page says 'early Friday morning (Mar. 4) to late Sunday evening (Mar. 6)'. Someone should probably fix that on the main page, as it appears it's not closed presently. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 05:04, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Checkin' email and take it to the flipside! !edispilf eht ot ti ekat dna liame 'nikcehC

<pre>
subject: rock opera

Strong Bad,
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You
simply owe it to society. What should it be about?
That's up to you.
Best Wishes,
Anonymous Contributor
Gambier, OH
</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Contributor" as "ContribuTOR" and "OH" as "hhhough"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityyyy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply entitled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train-wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bravo! Encore! Encore! �ndale! �ndale! Arriba! Arriba! ''{typing}'' Thank you! Thank you! The rave reviews are already pouring in! It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws his rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! ''{clutches his face, starts flailing his limbs wildly}'' Rose face! ROSE FACE!!! ''{falls off his stool}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where the Paper comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click ''rave reviews'' to see some reviews of Sbemail:
**"SBEMAIL! Is a Triumph of Some Sort!!!" "It will leave you you wanting MORE, MORE, MORE!" -(Perhaps)The Deke
**"A million stars!!!" -Age 7
**"SBEMAIL! is better than a goat!!" - The biscuitdoughhandsman Review

* Click ''Pouring in'' to see a poster for SBEMAIL!
:"an off13 broadway rock opera from the man who brought you 'dangeresque: put em on ice!'"
*While on the poster, click 'Dangereresque: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
::''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
::'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum-
::''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice}''
* Click the invisible ''Encore'' on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
* This is the first time where we see Strong Bad's whole body walking by a straight-on view.
* This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom-Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
* Second time Strong Bad talked about both the sender's parents. This was last done in [[animal]] about Spud Jr.

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
* The Poopsmith, Bubs and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.

=== Goofs ===
* You can still click the contrast buttons on the Tandy while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
* When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy screen.
* When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
* Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's torso and his head; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the torso.

=== Inside References ===
* The shoes that walk across the screen are the back button of the old main page.
**The shoes were also used as a back button in the first Homestar Runner game where you had to play the "She loves me/not" game. It also introduced Marzipan.
* On the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, Anonymous has his hands glued to his butt, which also happened to Strong Sad in the e-mail [[1 step ahead]].
**Also, the drawing of Anonymous has two toenails, much like Strong Sad.
* Also on the second piece-of-paper, Strong Bad's legs are positioned like those of [[Wrestleman]] from the Weekly [[Sketchbook]].
* The [[Teen Girl Squad]] character Tompkins can be found on the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, in his miniaturized form from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
* When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad E-mail [[secret recipes]].
**"Teh" is also a leetspeak word for "The".
* When Strong Bad appears to have two electric guitars sticking out of his head, it's a reference to the cover art for the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
* Strong Bad sitting in the chair swirling the wine in the cup is modeled after a similar scene from the Powered-by-the-Cheat music video [[Everybody to the Limit]].
**Strong Bad also swirls his wine in [[montage]].
* The action figures of Strong Sad and Strong Bad are from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
* The pants Coach Z temporarily dons seem to be modeled after [[Rather Dashing]]'s short pants.
* The background of the area with the pyramid of gold bars (pre-explosion) is taken directly from [[RhinoFeeder]].
* The "Goodtime Palace" is modeled after similar scenes from [[animal]] and even features [[Baby Styles]].
**Also, the normal "black frame" around the screen changes to the Cheat's poorly drawn frame from his "[[Powered by the Cheat]]" Cartoons.
* The picture of the "Hardest Guitar Chord Ever" comes from [[privileges]].
* The jogging pixellated Strong Bad is originally from [[montage]].
* Club Technochocolate is originally from [[extra plug]].
** But just the word "technochocolate" comes from [[monument]].
* The rock music which starts at Club Technochocolate is based on ''The Cheat Is Not Dead'' from [[caper]].
* [[The Stage|The stage]] the entire cast is grouped on at the end is the same stage from [[A Decemberween Pageant]], among other holiday toons.

'''StrongBadEmail #80'''

Louis wonders if Strong Bad has ever used a stunt double. Strong Bad responds by showing clips from his latest movie, "Dangeresque 2: ''This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1.''"

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]/[[Dangeresque]], [[Coach Z]]/[[Renaldo]], [[Strong Mad]]/[[Killingyouguy]] (possibly), [[Strong Sad]] (stunt double), [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]]/[[Unnamed Bad Guy]], [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan]]/[[Cutesy Buttons]]

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' Oh, I took the email to the market, and I bought it some kind of fish sauce.

''{reading}''

<pre>Hello Strong Bad,
I'm a long time watcher first time
writer. I was wondering if you ever
use a stunt double.

Your whatever,
Louis</pre>

''{After reading "long time watcher first time writer," Strong Bad says "Ooh, an LTWFTW." He also reads "I was wondering" as "I was just wondering" and pronounces "Louis" as "Luis. Er, Lewis. Louie."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': {''typing''} A stunt double?!? No way, Lucy! Only big wusses and lesser wimps use stunt doubles. I've always done my own stunt work. Check me out in this summer blockbuster we just finished. It's called Dangeresque 2: ''This time, it's not Dangeresque 1.''

''{A cue card is held up with the title: "Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1." Then a newspaper is shown. The headline has been covered with a piece of paper that says: "MISSING TAPE STOLEN. Dangeresque seen on the case. For real." Cut to an office scene with Strong Bad, wearing sunglasses, and Coach Z, wearing a turban.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': It's not going to be easy finding that missing tape.

'''COACH Z''': Well, Dangeresque, if anyone can do it, I'm sure you can.

'''STRONG BAD''': You're right, Renaldo. But the elevator's broken in this building. So I'm gonna have to jump! ''{makes a jumping motion}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, wearing a paper bag on his head and oven mitts, standing on top of a ladder on the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand. He is pushed off and falls into a wading pool marked "shark pond." He walks out, and the shot is then edited so that it's Strong Bad walking away. Cut to Strong Bad's basement, where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Either give me that tape, or punch me in the face.

''{Strong Mad punches. Edit to Strong Sad, who gets punched in the face and goes flying back. We hear a crashing sound. Cut to the field. Strong Bad is holding a mirror. Behind him are the missing tape and Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where is that tape?

''{Homestar realizes he can be seen and moves away. Cut to Bubs, wearing a monocle and holding The Cheat.}''

'''BUBS''': Welcome to oblivion, Danger-skew! ''{pulls a lever}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the field, then edit to Strong Sad. A [[Heavy Lourde]] falls on Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': It's what I like to call a broken neck.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan in the field.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': I won't watch you die, Dangeresque.

'''STRONG BAD''': Don't worry, Cutesy Buttons. Tonight, dying's not on the menu. So I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Sad is once again pushed off of Bubs' Concession Stand. This time the pool is marked "Pie Factory." Edit to Strong Bad walking away. Cut back to the office.}''

'''COACH Z''': Sounds pretty dangerous.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{turns around}'' No. Sounds... Dangeresque.

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

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Okay, you can all return from the edge of your seats. Wow, watching that gives me goosebumps every time, man. I mean, the stunts I do are so ''{pause}'' done by me. And remember to watch out in June 2004 for ''{stops typing as a logo appears for:}'' "Dangerseque 3: ''The Criminal Projective.''" In 3D! ''{"3D" is added to the logo and the screen becomes drawn in red and blue lines, like a 3D movie.}''

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

==Easter Eggs==
*At the very end be sure have your 3D glasses ready and click on the big "3D" part of the logo.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! I'm in 3D! Check out all my dimensions. I got height... width... and now, for a limited time only... depth!
*After the 3D spiel, be sure to click on the words "watch out" for some more 3D madness!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns to the camera}'' Who needs diskettes? ''{flings floppy disks at the camera}'' Brreow, brreow, brreow! ''{Holds up another floppy}'' Hey, you want this disk? ''{pulls it back}'' Well you can't have it! ''{holds it up again}'' No you j' di' take it. ''{pulls it back}'' No you can't have it. ''{taunts the viewer by holding up and pulling back the floppy repeatedly}'' No-- don't-- take-- have it.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The title of the newspaper is "The Local Newspapes."
*The newspaper article reads:
:''The Lemmer was treated for polar bear related injuries shortly after the 4th inning shenanigans. Officials say the bear 'wandered on down' from the North Pole with rich, creamy nougat on its mind. Nay-sayers have dismissed this as dismissable citing, "I think it might be just an inflatable polar bear, actually." The young gun was unavailable for a Young Guns 2 screening that took place in my basement a few months ago and I haven't forgiven him since. Seriously, Mark, I don't know what's up. We used to be so close and now you're acting all''
:*This is accompanied by a picture of some Atlanta Braves players on a baseball field with a polar bear digitally added in the background.
*When Strong Sad falls into the wading pool the second time, watch the label very closely. It says "pie factory," but just for a split second it says "shark pond" and then changes back to "pie factory."
*When Strong Bad walks away from the wading pool, you can see one of Strong Sad's oven mitts sticking out from behind the building.
*The paper bag on Strong Sad's head has a picture of Strong Bad without the trademark sunglasses, even though he's supposed to look like Dangeresque.

===Remarks===
*Bubs mispronounces Dangeresque's name as "Danger-skew," as though trying to read it phonetically and failing horribly.
*In the 3D Easter egg, if you put 3D glasses on, Strong Bad is actually in 3D.
===Inside References===
*Strong Sad is wearing the oven mitts from the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search Of The Yellow Dello]] cartoon, the [[Homestar Quiz]] and [[halloweener]].

===Real-World References===
*The baseball field in the newspaper photo is [[Wikipedia: Fenway Park|Fenway Park]].
*Bubs is holding The Cheat the same way that Ernst Blofeld/Number 1 (of the Bond movies), Dr. Claw (of Inspector Gadget), and Dr. Evil (of Austin Powers) hold their cats.
*The tune of the Dangeresque theme is similar to the beat of the song 'Papa was a Rolling Stone'

===Fast Forward===
*The theme from the summer blockbuster "Dangeresque 2: This Time It's Not Dangereque 1" (instrumental bits of which can be heard in the email) is featured on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].

== DVD Version ==
*The way to access the Easter eggs has changed slightly. The Strong Bad icon on the center-right takes you to the first Easter egg, while the Strong Bad icon on the center-left takes you to the flying diskettes.
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
**Note that the actual cartoon dialogue in the background is improperly synced to the toon during the commentary.

Sbemail 100 Fakeout

AgentSeethroo — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 16:42:39 GMT

AgentSeethroo: Reverted edit of 156.63.21.11, changed back to last version by 24.128.167.223

[[Image:sbemail100.png|thumb|''When are you gonna do one already?'']]

Strong Bad confronts the user with his/her snooping around the site. Homestar Runner adds to the hilarity.

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

== Explanation ==

The two weeks following [[different town]] were filled with much angst, as faithful Strong Bad Email fans woke up on those Monday mornings without a new Email. After being teased by [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]], and [[Puppet Time]], many people were getting impatient waiting for the 100th Strong Bad Email. Several of these people went so far as to check the expected URL for the Email directly, in hopes that they could see the Email as soon as possible. The only way this could be done was to type "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html" into their address bar, since this address would follow the format used for the previous ninety-nine Emails. These users kept getting the usual [[404'd]] page, until about 2:20 a.m. (EST) on Tuesday, March 16, 2004; which was when they were greeted by '''Not the 100th Email!!!'''.

== Transcript ==

''{Scene opens to typical Internet Explorer error message}''

''{Strong Bad walks on to the screen from the left to confront the viewer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I suppose you think you're pretty clever, huh? Thought you would find something you weren't supposed to see yet? Well, it's not...

''{Homestar walks on from the right, interrupting Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, is this where the hundredth e-mail is?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. Get outta here!

'''HOMESTAR:''' When are you going to do one already?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, just keep your pants on.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Pants? Hmm...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, chew on that one for a while...{Mumbles as he walks off.} Teach you to poke around in my HTML...

''{A handwritten sticky note, which is supposed to be a system alert message, is slapped onto the screen, that reads:}''

<pre>
This is real.
System report:
Keep your pants on.
For real.
[ ok ]
</pre>

==Fun Facts==

*Since the file for this animation is named sbemail100.html, the [[flashback | actual hundredth email]]'s file name is sbemailahundred.html.

*The fake system report is from [[50 emails]]. Homestar put up a nearly identical one when he caused an error on the Compy.

*The woosh-y sound at the beginning of the toon is from the sbemail [[ghosts]]. In the end, when the little bad graphics ghost shows up on the Compy 386 screen, it plays for a while.

*If you use a flash player that is able to show the number of frames in a file, you'll find that the total number of frames in this file are exactly ''four-hundred & four'' frames long ('''[[404'd|404]]''').

*This is probably the only secret page on the site that is supposed to be found, but was never purposefully linked to at any time. However, for a short while, the links to Strong Bad E-mails on [[Broken Compy Menu]] were 1 lower than they should've been, so clicking on [[car]] brought you to Not the 100th Email.

Blue Laser Minion

AgentSeethroo: Reverted edit of 156.63.21.11, changed back to last version by Drhaggis

[[Image:BL_Minions.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Blue Laser minions]]
'''Blue Laser minions''' are the foot solders of Blue Laser, an evil organization of evil that does evil stuff for few explored reasons. Blue Laser is commanded by [[Blue Laser Commander]], predictably. It is made up of an incredibly large number of minions. They are always defeated by the elite fighting force [[The Cheat Commandos]]. It is not explained how 10 ''The Cheats'' can defeat a massive army. The Blue Laser minions wear blue bodysuits with the Blue Laser emblem on the chest. They have head visors and blue patches on one arm. Just about every sentence they say ends in "sir", whether or not it is actually addressed to a man. They all speak in the same monotone voice. In the [[Cheat Commandos Commercial]], six of them went to build and protect [[The Stick|a radar dish]], which [[Reinforcements]] destroyed, crushing all but one. Later, on a second mission, two were sent to protect the Blue Laser mountain headquarters, where the Blue Laser Commander was planning to blow up the ocean and make sure not one of his forces was crushed. But [[Firebert]] blew a part off the headqarters with explosives, crushing the two guards.

'''Strong Bad Email #40'''

Strong Bad takes a vacation and writes postcards from the places he visits.

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

== Notes ==

This email was updated over a period of five weeks, with Strong Bad writing a postcard each time. It is also the last email featuring the [[Tandy 400]] before being replaced by the [[Compy 386]] in [[invisibility]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oooh, duh DOO doo doo, my email left me, duh DOO doo... ''{stops singing}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

You must be a very busy man. You should think
about a vacation.

Filled with crap,
BrothaCheese</pre>

''{He shakes his head disappointedly after reading "filled with crap."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, vacation, eh? You know, I have been sittin at this computer for a long freakin time. And Strong Mad says I've been lashing out at the Cheat more often than usual... Yeah, you know what? ''{stops typing, scribbles a note while muttering "a little bit of this... little bit of that..."}'' I'm outta here. ''{pause}'' DORKS!

''{He slaps a Post-It note on the screen with a drawing of an angry face with sharp teeth and the word "DORKS!" and walks away humming. The screen fades to black, and comes back with a menu of postcards.}''

*'''[[#Postcard_1|Postcard 1]]'''
*'''[[#Postcard_2|Postcard 2]]'''
*'''[[#Postcard_3|Postcard 3]]'''
*'''[[#Postcard_4|Postcard 4]]'''
*'''[[#Postcard_5|Postcard 5]]'''

'''Just pick one.'''

=== Postcard 1 ===

'''The Great Mound (Bigger than that one in Ohio!)'''

Hey, you guys! Just dropping you a line here from "The Great Mound." I got two words for ya: false advertising. There's ''nothing'' great about this mound, okay? And another thing: there's nothing but old ladies hanging around this mound! You know, wearing their muumuus and their tutus and all their Dainty McDainty crap... like... I don't like old ladies. I don't even wanna see 'em. Anyways, the mound was a big disappointment. I'll write from my next destination. Later!

=== Postcard 2 ===

'''Fabulous Downtown Pantsburg'''

Hey everybody. Don't be fooled. Downtown Pantsburg isn't anywhere ''near'' as fabulous as it appears in that photograph. I mean, they don't even let you ride that bike! In fact, it was like welded to that little house! Anyways, I met some guys here, they were pretty cool, we hung out, y'know, made fun of this one girl...pushed some guy into some mud... We traded addresses and stuff and they say they're gonna come visit, but, you know how that ends up. I'll never see 'em again. Come to think of it, I probably should have taken some of their stuff. Oh well. That old highway's a-callin' my name, so, you'll hear from me soon. Peace!

=== Postcard 3 ===

'''It's that CLOCK (look at it go)'''

''{singing, with acoustic guitar playing in background}'' It's that clooooock...come on you guuuuuuys...you need to check it on ouuuuuuuut... it's that CLOCK! I can't believe it! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, the best thing about this postcard is if you look at the clock, that's the exact same time that I first laid eyes on the clock! 2:55, man. And like, iddi-oh, wait, it still says... 2:55. Okay, well, the clock is broken, but still! It's about the best thing I've ever seen ''{sings}'' in my whole liiiiiife! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, now I got to bust a wicked solo. ''{a crappy acoustic guitar solo is played}'' Thank you, goodnight!

=== Postcard 4 ===

'''Two Cars Tennessee'''

'Sup, everybody? Here I am in Two Cars, Tennessee, and you know what? I kinda miss you guys and your emails... I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear Stong Band, You are crap. Crap is the best. Everybody loves crap. Crap is in the mix. Crap is to the max. How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzi-pants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, Seattle, Washington." Ahh... okay! I got my fix. On to the next town! Oh, and incidentally, I highly recommend Two Cars, Tennessee. It's got a ''real'' happenin' arts and crafts scene.

=== Postcard 5 ===

'''Visit Historic Over There'''

Hey guys, just a quick one while I'm away. So I visited Historic Over There. Don't be fooled by the old-timey photograph -- the place really looks like that. Like, everything is tan and brown. The sky? Tan. And the streets are paved with a little different shade of tan. It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques. Yeah. ''Screwed up.'' There was one guy out there doing caricatures, though. I stopped by and got one...of myself...he made me...a caric-ter...choor...it was great. Okay. All this old Coca-Cola memorabilia is making me thirsty. I'll talk at ya soon.

== Easter Eggs ==

*You can click on the Post-It note to hear it say different insults and such.
*On the second postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the window and see Strong Bad being Strong Bad.
:''{A silhouetted Strong Bad peeks his head out from behind the dark rectangle, then runs toward the bike}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee! ''{jumps on the bike}'' Oh man. My legs don't even reach the pedals! This is about as fun as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride... but actually, that was pretty fun. There's that part where you think you're going to hit the badger, and-- What the? 
:''{A second light comes on in the house, and a dog starts barking}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh geez! 
:''{Strong Bad jumps off the bike, and runs headlong into the mailbox, causing a flurry of mail and falling on the ground}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ...hey, coupons!
*On the fourth postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the rightmost headlight to see about the arts and crafts scene - err, the crazy Seattle Monkey D postcard.
*On the fifth postcard, while he is talking about his caricature, you can click on the postcard and see it.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the last time Strong Bad uses the Tandy 400.
*This is the only email where you can't click on anything to email Strong Bad.

===Inside References===
*In the easter egg on postcard five the credit line on the bottom of the caricature says "LEM '02." This most likely means it was drawn by [[Lem Sportsinterviews]] or [[Lemke]].
===Real-World References===
*Mr Toad's Wild Ride was once a ride at Disney World. It is also still running at Disneyland.
*Also in postcard five, Strong Bad says "Just a quick one while I'm away," a reference to The Who's song "A Quick One While He's Away."
*In postcard four, Strong Bad mentions a "[[Monkey D]]." This may be a reference to the main character of the manga One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy.
===Fast Forward===
* The Tandy is never used again, but it appears briefly as he tosses it out (and in an Easter egg) in the next episode. Its ghost haunts Strong Badia in [[ghosts]], and we see its eventual fate in the [[KoT E-mail|King of Town e-mail page]].

== DVD Version ==
*While the DORKS Post-It is still clickable, it only says half of its catalog of insults.
*The Lem Sportsinterviews caricature can be seen only by hitting your DVD player's Angle button.

$11.01

AgentSeethroo: Reverted edit of 156.63.21.11, changed back to last version by TheNintenGenius

'''$11.01''' is the price of all action figures in the Homestar Runner universe, regardless of their size or quality.

The reason for this, as [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] reveals in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary for [[flag day]], is because [[Matt Chapman|Matt's]] birthday is November 1st.

[[Image:sbemail78.png|thumb|Neverending Soda]]

Homestar's '''Mountain Dew''' was first mentioned in [[techno]], where [[Strong Bad]] told [[The Cheat]] to break a glowstick open and pour it in Homestar's Mountain Dew. Its first appearance wasn't until the Strongbad email [[anything]] where [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] applied it "liberally" onto the [[Compy 386]]'s keyboard. It apparently is "never-ending," as [[Homestar]] says if you wait around 15 seconds after [[anything]] is over. It has also made an appearance in Homestar's bucket of popcorn in [[extra plug]].
