==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
* The page title, "20/200", is the [[Wikipedia: Visual acuity|visual acuity]] measurement used as the threshold for legal blindness.
* The [[Wikipedia: Eye chart|eye chart]] held up by Homestar is known as a "Tumbling E" chart.

===Trivia===
*This is one of only five main pages to have Homestar in his regular outfit, size, and style.
*This is the third main page where Homestar speaks in his current lower voice.
*If you hold the left mouse button on "Store" while you move the mouse off, the glasses will remain on, allowing you to see all the other button effects clearly.

===Remarks===
*The buttons have a new, shinier look.
*Strong Bad is seen with underwear, but in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear them.
**In [[senior prom]], Strong Bad has underwear, but they were boxers, instead of the briefs shown here.
*The sky's design is the one used in [[the chair]] and [[Drive-Thru]].
*This main page lacks a [[Irregular Loading Screen|loading screen]].

===Goofs===
*The Weeklies buttons' text, when rolled over, are not in the correct spot.
*The logos on Homestar's shirt extend outside the shirt.
*Homestar's shirt logos are still blurred while wearing glasses

===Glitches===
*The [[HR:newbutton.swf|newbutton.swf]] file slightly overlaps the frames of the glasses.
*Main Page 24 is the only main page that currently (as of July 24, 2007) does not function correctly on the Nintendo Wii's web browser. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing, and the links are not clickable. The links also do not produce the roll-over effects either. The Main Page selection in the bottom left-hand corner is missing entirely. All of the buttons on the top right-hand corner are missing as well. Homestar also lacks the star on his shirt, and the blur effects are not visible (but the page is slightly faded).

===Inside References===
*Homestar refers to his [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible fingers]].
*One of Homestar's shirts has the [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Peacey P|Peacey P]] logo on it. Peacey P was a rapper in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]].
*This is another appearance of Homestar's [[duckie shirt]].

===Real World References===
* Homestar's blue T-shirt is for sportswear maker [[Wikipedia: Fila (company)|Fila]].

'''Running Time:''' 4:17

'''Page Title:''' Meet me on down at the Chez Perez!

==Transcript==
''{Scene in Marzipan's house, where Marzipan is applying mascara while looking in a hall mirror. She is already wearing lipstick. After a second, Homestar enters from the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa-ho, Marzipan! You look like a fox's mother!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Still looking in mirror}'' Homestar, if you're trying to say I'm a foxy mama, that's actually ''more'' offensive.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. You know what I mean. The more offensive one. So where are we goin' tonight? ''{leans over}'' The Chez Perez? ''{"Chez" is mispronounced to rhyme with "Perez"}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Still looking at the mirror}'' Uh, no. I have a hot date with The Cheat, thank you very much. I suspect ''you'll'' probably stay home and run in place or something.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well I ''was'' planning to—you WHAT?! ''{Eyes bug out}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement, where The Cheat is applying a fake mustache with Strong Bad looking on}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You WHAT?! ''{Starts quivering with rage}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't believe this, The Cheat!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar in Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't believe you're The Cheating on me! ''{Pull back to include Marzipan, still at the mirror}'' So what are you saying? That you—gulp—"want his bod"?

''{Cut back to a close up of Strong Bad in his basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can't even call that thing a bod! At best it's a broom or a—

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Trivial Pursuit cheese wedge!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Turning away from the mirror and brandishing mascara brush}'' Look, Homestar, it's just a date. This has always been an open relationship.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa-ho-ho-says you. I've turned down more foxes' mothers than I can count just to stay loyal to you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Dryly}'' So, four, then?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's rich. Ms. Smarty Pants, eh?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mr. Smarty Spots, huh? Well—

''{Scene starts switching between locations as Strong Bad and Homestar alternate words}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —why—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —don't—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —go a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —head—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and—

''{Cuts to Strong Bad and Homestar inexplicably together in Marzipan's house, yelling:}''

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —GET OUTTA MY FACE!

''{Both open their eyes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Looking around}'' Wait, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Simultaneously}'' What the crap...?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement where Marzipan and The Cheat are standing in front of the couch.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, the Cheat. Let's go.

''{The Cheat crooks his arm as if to allow Marzipan to loop her arm through it. Marzipan stands next to him and leans over as if taking his arm in hers, and the two exit together.}''

''{Cut to title screen, a pink square on a light blue background. The letters "Da" and "ni" appear on the left side of the square, one on top of the other, then a large "Te" appears on the right to form the words "DaTe" and "niTe".}''

''{Cut back to Marzipan's house, this time to the living room. Homestar and Strong Bad are drinking 'old Ones, Strong Bad sitting on the couch, Homestar lying on the floor with his feet on the couch. Strong Bad is shaking his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Man. Seriously, Strong Strong, we's ''gotta'' do something about ''this''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ordinarily, I just drown my sorrows in video games, but for ''this'', ''{Close up of Strong Bad}'' maybe I should drown them in... drowning ''them''! ''{Smiles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sitting up}'' Uh, maybe let's not kill anybody. We should just try and ruin their date.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mainly, I just want to keep 'em from making out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Dropping 'old One bottle, starts rubbing his arms}'' Ewww! The disgust! It won't wash off!

''{Scene transitions to Marshmallow's Last Stand, where The Cheat and Marzipan are sitting in a booth, holding menus. Both the menus and a sign near the door read "Marshmallow's L'est Stand".}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Questioning The Cheat noises}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Why, yes, The Cheat, I would be ''very'' comfortable with you saying something about my figure. Thank you for asking first.

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Puts down menu}'' Ew. Not ''that'' comfortable.

''{Homestar comes running up in his waiter uniform from Summer Short Shorts}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, good evening, ungodly couple. ''{The Cheat puts down his menu}'' My name is Waiter, I will be your Homestar for this evening. Can I start you two off with a glass of "Breaking Up", or perhaps "Never Seeing Each Other Again" with capers?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angry The Cheat noises, waving a fist}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, yes, The Cheat, I ''would'' be comfortable with you "cleaning my clock"! Thanks for asking first!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angrier The Cheat noises, more threatening gestures}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahhhh! ''{Takes off in a cloud of dust, after a few seconds, pops down from the top border}'' Can I settle up with you guys? My shift's over.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angry The Cheat noises, more threatening gestures, Homestar ducks offscreen}''

''{Cut to later, close up of Marzipan with a plate with crumbs and a small piece of marshmallow.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mmmmm, my almond-encrusted Chilean sea marshmallow was just delicious. ''{Cut out to include the Cheat sitting in front of an empty hot dog wrapper with ketchup and a couple of french fries around it.}'' How was your hot dog?

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

''{Strong Bad runs up, dressed up as an Italian chef}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Fake Italian accent}'' Oh-a, it's-a me! ''{Close up}'' The chef-a! A-which-a one o' you guys ordered the smack-in-the-face-a?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Annoyed}'' I thought this was a French restaurant.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Regular voice}'' Oh. Ummmmmmmmm, uh... Sn-snails?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, T.C., let's blow this marshmallow stand. ''{Marzipan and the Cheat get up and walk away offscreen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, y'know, I--I didn't really research this role.

''{As the screen blacks out, Strong Bad's fake mustache falls off}''

''{Fade in to Marzipan and The Cheat crossing The Stone Bridge in the moonlight}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Excited The Cheat noises, gesturing}''

''{They stop at the top of the bridge}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's so crazy! I've always wanted to see Ira Glass and Ira Flatow wrestle, too.

''{From out of the water comes a periscope, apparently made out of cardboard tubes and duct tape. Cut to the view of Marzipan and The Cheat from the periscope. A repetitive sonar-like "boo" sound is heard in the background}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This has been such a great date, The Cheat. I don't know what could possibly ruin it.

''{Cut to inside of cardboard submarine. Strong Bad is looking away from the periscope with Homestar standing right behind, wearing a sailor hat and simulating sonar noises. Water is streaming down the walls and dripping from the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Verify our range to target! Flood tubes three and four! Hunt for Red October!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aye aye, sir! ...Boo!

''{Cut to surface. The "submarine" surfaces. It is a cardboard box with the words "USS FLIRTINI" on the side. Strong Bad and Homestar pop out, revealing fireworks duct-taped to the insides of the box flaps.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' FIRE!

''{Homestar and Strong Bad light a match and the BMW Lighter, respectively, and light the fireworks. View changes to include the bridge and its occupants. After a couple seconds, the fireworks simultaneously propel the submarine backwards offscreen and fly forwards.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' WAAAH!

''{The fireworks execute a loop in the air, and fly past Marzipan and The Cheat, startling them. Cut to a view of the sky where the fireworks go off in a grand display. Marzipan and The Cheat's silhouettes can be seen in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooooh, it's so romantic...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Sighs}''

''{Marzipan and The Cheat lean close to each other}''

''{Cut to view of the surface of a large body of water. Homestar and Strong Bad are leaning out the top of the "submarine" as the fireworks flash, singing as it sinks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' Come to the place where the tropical breezes blow... ''{Last word is garbled as he is submerged}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing along}'' Da da da da dada dadada dada daaaaaaah...

''{Cut to Marzipan's front hall, later. The sound of the front door opening and closing is heard, followed by Marzipan walking down the hall until she finds Homestar, running in place angrily. Homestar notices her, and stops mid-step.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sulkingly}'' Oh, if it isn't Marzipan. ''{Steps down}'' Oh, I'm sorry, or was it "The Marzipan", now?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you'll be happy to know it didn't work out between us. I found out the Cheat is declawed, and I just don't think I could be with someone that supports that kind of cruelty.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Delighted}'' And now you've come crawlin' back to the ol' fox's father!

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, I just came to change outfits for my next date with Bubs at the all-night waffle place!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You WHAT?! ''{Eyes bug out}''

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is straightening a black bow tie, while Coach Z is standing behind him wearing hair curlers and brandishing a rolling pin.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You WHORT?!

''{Cut to end screen, the pink box on light blue background, with the word "end" in the box. After a few seconds, "back" appears at the bottom.}''

:'''STRONG SAD''': Oh, geez, I ''gotta'' pledge more next year. They're ''really'' getting desperate.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*"L'est" is a contraction of the French word for "the" and the French word for "is" or "east". "Chez" (which Homestar [[Foreign Words|mispronounces]]) means "At the home of" and is often used in names of French restaurants.
*Marzipan's statement, "Come on, T.C., let's blow this marshmallow stand." is a reference to the idiom [[wiktionary: blow_this_popsicle_stand|"blow this popsicle stand"]].
*The phrase "in the Squared Circle" (from the Easter egg) comes from the old tradition of fights being held inside of a crowd of onlookers who would form a circle around the combatants. When the official square shaped fighting area was introduced, this nickname developed.

===Trivia===
*Marzipan's mascara tube reads "Hot Vegan".
*Strong Bad and Homestar are drinking [[Cold One|'old ones]].
*The bubbles made when the USS ''Flirtini'' is sinking makes the same sound as when [[Pom Pom]] speaks.
*The tape in the booOOMbox in the Easter egg reads "normal [[Wikipedia:Tape bias|bias]]".

===Remarks===
*The synopsis asks if Homestar and Marzipan are finally going on a date, but they went out in the email [[date]].
*In the Mascara's reflection in the mirror, the words are typed backwards, but not reversed like it would be in a real mirror.
**Furthermore, the words are on the side facing the viewer, but they still show up in the mirror.
*Coach Z wears curlers in this cartoon, suggesting he does have hair. Though he appears bald when he loses his hat in [[caffeine]], he has been shown having a moustache and afro when he was younger.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When first released the fireworks were still visibly attached to the USS ''Flirtini'' as it sank after they had been launched.

===Inside References===
*In [[long pants]], Marzipan says that everybody claims her figure looks like a broom.
**In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]], Homestar calls Marzipan, "You old broomstick!"
*The Cheat is again compared to cheese (in this case, a Trivial Pursuit cheese wedge), as was the case in [[huttah!]].
*Instead of actually gulping, Homestar merely ''says'' his gulp, which is what [[Fightgar]] did when [[Gunhaver]] ordered him to do some "undercover work" in [[Shopping for Danger]].
*"Seriously, Strong Strong" is a nod to Homestar's classic line, "[[Seriously|Seriously, Pom Pom]]."
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad smiling]].
*The candle and romantic music are from [[do over]].
*Homestar's "L'[[Eggs|egg]]" hat is similar to his hat in [[Summer Short Shorts]], which simply read "Egg".
*The stone bridge where Marzipan and The Cheat go at night is from [[personal favorites]].
*The rockets are Fthoom-Bang brand bottle rockets duct-taped together just like in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], in which Strong Bad refers to them as "Explosives".
*While the USS ''Flirtini'' is sinking, the song that Strong Bad sings and Homestar hums is the [[Strong Badia National Anthem]].
*Coach Z being portrayed as a mother appeared in [[garage sale]].
*This also is another instance of [[mustaches]].
*During the Easter egg, the [[Public Radio Sound]] music from [[radio]] is heard.
*Homestar (who was speaking for [[Cardboard Marzipan]] at the time) asked The Cheat if he wanted to go on a "secret hot date" with her in [[Happy Fireworks!]]
**An Easter Egg from [[do over]] showed Marzipan with The Cheat disguised as Homestar and covered in lipstick stains left from kisses.
*During the scene when Homestar and Strong Bad light the fireworks Strong Bad uses the [[BMW Lighter]].

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October|The Hunt for Red October]]'' was the first novel by [[Wikipedia:Tom Clancy|Tom Clancy]], which was later made into a [[Wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October (film)|film]]. The book and the film deal heavily with submarine warfare.
*[[Wikipedia:Ira Glass|Ira Glass]] and [[Wikipedia:Ira Flatow|Ira Flatow]] are [[Wikipedia:Public broadcasting|public radio]] hosts.

{{talk|11290}}
== Secret Hot Date ==

Is there a connection between the "secret hot date" Cardboard Marzipan invited the Cheat on and the "hot date" they actually went on? Is the fact that there are fireworks in both of the cartoons relevant? {{unsigned|75.85.125.208|22:58, 23 April 2007}}
:Might even mention the end of [[do over]] in relation to this too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, there's definitely been a pattern here. also note the "who's making out with marzipan" line from the cheat's theme song. that was probably the first lead in, or whatever --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]
Also peculiar that Marzipan doesn't seem to mind The Cheat's small talk about two Ira's, after being annoyed by Homestar's two Sid's in [[date]]. [[User:61.149.38.114|61.149.38.114]] 13:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Well, Homestar was playing a stupid, boring game that she had no hope of winning. The Cheat was actually holding a conversation. -[[User:Wrath|Wrath]]

== Irony ==

Is it worth mentioning that Strong Bad proposes that they drown the Cheat and Marzipan, but in the end it is Homestar and Strong Bad who are drowned? {{unsigned|75.85.125.208|22:58, 23 April 2007}}

:That's along the lines of explaining the joke, something not normally done around here unless it's rather obscure. Also, please sign your talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>){{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Public Rage-o flyer ==

The broken glasses could be a play off of the glasses Ira Glass wears. (They look quite similar) Anyone else think so? -Cappy Red [[User:68.5.95.211|68.5.95.211]] 08:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, I thought the same thing. Weird when you see radio people on TV. It's always like "I don't know what I would have expected him to look like, but it just ain't that." {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 08:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to [[:Image:deadlypallor.png|look]] absolutely nothing like how they sound. =3 {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh yeah, forgot we'd already had a lesson on that. Glass actually comes ''close'' to what you'd (I'd) expect him to look like, but just not quite. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 09:11, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::::Truly, he looks just different enough so as to throw you off. It's like he has his own personal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley uncanny valley] ;¬) -Cappy Red [[User:68.5.95.211|68.5.95.211]] 15:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== 8-Bit resemblence ==

i'm not suggesting anybody uses this, but does any one else notice any echoes of Black Mage from 8-bit theater in Strong Bad when he's discussing the drowning of Marzipan and the Cheat? especially the "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date" line. it's funny, but that's just me.
--[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]
:Strong Bad always sounds like that. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]]

Heh, that is totally something BM would say. [[User:The makuta|The makuta]] 13:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Mario ==

I obviously thought of Mario when Strong Bad said "Itsa me, the chef-a", but I don't know if it's really that clear. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 09:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Mario has a bad Italian accent too, yes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:One of Mario's catchphrases is "It's-a me! Mario!" I thought of Mario as well. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Stereotypical Italian, probably. I thought it was Mario as well, but an Italian seems more practical. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 10:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Shockingly, Mario ''is'' Italian. and we know TBC are nintendo guys, i'd expect them to have had mario in the front of their minds as a role model for a fake-italian accent --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]

== Another Reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman ==

The curlers on Coach Z's head and the rolling pin he's holding seems to be another reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman, the other being when he said he was a mom in an easter egg at the end of Sbemail #129 Garage Sale.
:I think it's unwise to assume that Coach is conscientiously pretending to be a woman. Can't TBC just stick him in the cartoon to make a final punchline with no strings attached? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Right now the page suggests that Coach Z is a "mom" in this cartoon. He is clearly displaying characteristics of a woman (certain attitude, curlers, rolling pin), but there is no indication that he is acting like a "mom" (a particular kind of woman). [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 17:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I think he's acting like a wife. I mean, that's just such a classic image in television and movies. I don't know if he's doing it on purpose or if he just has a complex, though. Personally, I was thinking OTP. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::::I think he's being portrayed as a mother. Mabye he's actually a girl. We have no way of knowing if he is or not. He may actually be Bubs' mother. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 19:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Going down with the ship ==

Is the fact that Homestar and Strong Bad are singing the national anthem as their 'ship' goes down a reference to anything? It seems familiar to me, but I don't know where from... {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 11:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:I thought of [[Wikipedia:RMS Titanic|Titanic]] when I first saw it. The orchestra on the ship continued playing as the ship was sinking. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 11:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::I thought of that Looney Toons with Nero and Yosemite Sam as a Roman centurion and the pillar slowly falling while Nero plays Taps on a violin. Maybe something like that inspired them. [[User:Elvis|Uhuh huh. Thankyaveramuch.]] 12:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I think Elvis got it. This "going down with the ship" thing seems very cartoony. Looney Toony. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Okay bear with me a second. I've never actually seen the Hunt for Red October, so I'm getting this from my mom. In order to hijack the Red October and go to America, they took it out on the maiden voyage. The part of the crew that was in on the plot arranged a fake nuclear explosion and forced the rest of the crew off the sub. That part of the crew was standing on an American ship when the fake explosion occurred, and they sang the Russian national anthem while the Red October "sank". I think that's the reference the Brothers Chaps were going for. -[[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::Could be that too. You never know for sure what they are thinking. I say we shouldn't try to pinpoint this as a solid reference to anything in particular. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Except they don't sing the anthem as the ship goes down. The Russians stand on the deck of the rescuing American ship, silent and mournfully removing their caps, staring at the sea. They sing it much earlier in the film, when they first engage the [[Wikipedia:Magnetohydrodynamic drive|caterpillar drive]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:I fail to see how this is cartoony. It's a common motif, not a reference to anything in particular.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:It could be a reference to most cartoons, which sing/plays [[Wikipedia:Taps|Taps]] as their ship sinks. - {{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}

== Rockets ==

In the inside references section it mentions the part in SBIIJC where the bang was all that was needed. Wouldn't the fathoom be necessary in this case, considering without it Homestar and Strong Bad would just blow up? [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 12:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I noticed the same thing. From what I can tell, they want the fathoom so that they fire towards Marzipan and The Cheat. I'm changing it. [[User:The makuta|The makuta]] 13:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Fundraising weeks ==

How many local NPR stations are having their drives this week? I know it is in Jacksonville, FL.
:Why are you asking this? What relativity does it have to Homestar Runner? Why didn't you sign your post? --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 20:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Because the Easter egg is about public radio fundraising drives, during the same time that many NPR stations are having fundraising drives. That's why. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I didn't read the easter egg. It just seemed really out of the blue. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 21:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::::I'd say the fact doesn't belong. There is no official schedule that I'm aware of for fund raising on public radio, so each week could be a fundraising week for some station. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== FUN Facts. FUN ==
How is this piece of trivia a Fun fact? "Marzipan strokes her right eye with mascara 18 times." I'm pretty sure it isn't. [[User:63.229.175.33|63.229.175.33]] 14:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Good point. I've deleted it- maybe whoever put it there would mind explaining why it's of interest? {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 15:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::oh, you know, just in case someone wanted to be able to say that they apply makeup just like marzipan does or something --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]

== Squared Circle ==
The Squared Circle is a term used in Professional Wrestling, because unlike the actual sport, where they wrestle within a circle, the entertainment version takes place in a square ring, hence, square instead of circle.

or maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_circle ?

== Differnet ==
Is it just me, or did this toon seem... I dunno... different than the older ones somehow? Did TBC use a different engine to make it or something?--[[User:Homsar Lover|Homsar Lover]]
:Looks like Flash to me. Maybe they upgraded the program or something. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
:Maybe you're not used to the style used (as in it's night, romance, fancy resteraunts, etc.).-{{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}

== Marzipan's house ==

I'm pretty sure Homestar and Marzipan live together now. [[User:130.91.36.229|130.91.36.229]] 17:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:DVD Commentary on [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]:
:<blockquote>'''MATT:''' Dude, I don't want to hint at any cohabitation here, okay?</blockquote>
:--[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Although they probably don't, alot of things hint at it, such as the "stay home running in place" (Homestar was jogging at Marzy's house) and the "Marzipan, I'm home!" from [[your funeral]]. But, of couse, the above quote dispells all. {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 20:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::So, [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] was what, three years ago? They sure do seem to live together now, though. [[User:76.99.53.18|76.99.53.18]] 22:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC) (Same guy, different IP address.)

== Strong Bad, Nice? ==

Is it just me, or is strong bad being a friend towards homestar? isn't that out of character?
:Strong Bad can be civil when he wants. Besides, they had a common goal. I admit, it was a little 'Bwuh?', though. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::The common goal between Homestar and Strong Bad is what made this toon stand out. And quite nicely too. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== A little gay...==

Don't be mad at me or anything, but dosen't it seem the SB and TC are...(ugh). I mean, Homestar was mad at Marzi because she is going out with another man and she is his girlfriend, but SB was mad at TC for the same reason, making TC his...Boyfriend?!? -A little confused, {{User:HeyMama/sig}} 04:32 pm, Tuesday, April 24th.
:Strong Bad 1. Hates Marzipan and B. Is TC's best friend. Of course he's angry. It's Coach Z we should be worried about though :P {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 20:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Well, personally, I don't know why that would be worrying. On the other hand, this is really a discussion for the forum.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Good. ==

'Bout time Marzipan got out with someone else. {{User:Drippingyellowmadness/sig}} 21:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
*This is another of those forummy comments. ;) --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Strong Sad's voice ==

Is it just me, or does Strong Sad's voice sound suddenly different? Deeper or something. [[User:Ekul|Ekul]] 21:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Title Card ==
Is this the only toon, other than [[Summer Short Shorts]], that has a title card in it?--[[User:SDSpivey|SDSpivey]] 21:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Ummm...what do you mean by Title Card?? --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::A [[Wikipedia:Title card|title card]] is a separate image of the show's title. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] had a title card. Some of the older ones (like [[A Jorb well done]] and [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons) -{{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}
::Speaking of title cards, should someone add that at the end of the title sequence, the 'e' falls against the title frame?[[User:Sir Vimes|Sir Vimes]] 23:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Strong Bad Old-timey Strong Bad Reference ==

Is it me or is that italian mustache SB was wearing look kinda like Old-Timey SB's mustache? {{User:Austio888888/sig}} 23:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

==Welcome==
Hello I'm Austio888888 or just Austio for short. So check out my [[Userboxes]] to see more info on me. I've been here awhile and know a lot about [[Homestar Runner Wiki|H*R Wiki]]. So if you have any questions or just want to say something to me go [[User talk :Austio888888|here]].Also I love [[Strong Bad]] because of his hilarious attitude.

==How I Came To Love H*R==
I believe I came across homestarrunner.com when a young friend of mine came over with some funny dvds he called them. Those dvd's were [[Everything Else, Volume 1|Everything Else 1]] and [[strongbad email.exe|all four sbemail dvds]]. After watching [[First Time Here?]] I wondered if the website actually existed and wouldn't you know it did. Then, after watching every episode at least twice I looked on [http://Wikipedia.org wikipedia] and found HR Wiki thus bringing me here.

==Contributions==
You can see all my Contribs right [[Special:Contributions/Austio888888|<span style="color:red;">
'''HERE'''</span>]]

==My Usernames==
I've had many other usernames on a lot of different websites those names are.
#Flamer8965 origin- [http://Neopets.com neopets] (I was 9)
#Austio888888 origin- [http://Runescape.com runescape] (I was 10)
#DarkcloudClock origin- [http://Newgrounds.com newgrounds] (I was 10)
So if you see any of these names on any websites It's probably me.

===notes===
*I havn't been to neopets, runescape, or newgrounds since the beginning of July 206, but neopets was about a year before that.
*awhile ago my user name used to be '''Flamer8965''' and I just recently changed it to '''Austio888888''' because I just found out flamer means gay.

==H*R Personality Test==
I took an H*R personality test and below are the results, but some of it's not true (example: I don't think everyone is "crap for brains"). The quiz I took is right [http://www.quizilla.com/users/ProjectOzma/quizzes/%20***Which%20HomeStar%20Runner%20Character%20Are%20You%3F*** here]. And when you take the test it will show a different picture I just edited the image to make it work on the wiki.
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q123/Flamer8965/HRQuiz.jpg

==My Sbemail==
Check out the email I sent Strong Bad this week.

(I send a new one every Sunday)
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Pom Pom</div>
Dear Strong Bad,

What is the most advanced piece of technology Pom Pom has because I always see him with some kind of electronic device.

Crapfully Yours, Flamer8965
</blockquote>

==Stuff I Like Other Than H*R==
I like other things other than [[H*R]] and these things are...

User talk:Sam the Man

Austio888888 — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 21:28:36 GMT

Austio888888: /* Strong Bad Allegiance */

==Welcome==
Hi! This is Sam the Man. Please leave me messege and I'll get back to you. "BEEP"!

==Date of Birth==
You may want to get rid of the Day of Birth. Some creep could find it and start harassing you. Or something like that.
:Thanks for the info. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
==Welcome Sam the Man!==

{{{personal|Welcome to the '''Homestar Runner Wiki''' Sam the Man! We're glad to have you as a member.}}} If you need any help, feel free to ask me or anyone else on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Members|welcoming committee]]. You can also post questions on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].<p>

*Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our [[HRWiki:Standards|rules and stuff]], including the rules for your [[HRWiki:User space|user space]], to make sure you don't get yourself banned.
*If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] to see the projects we're working on that '''YOU''' can help with!

Sincerely,<br />
{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}}, and "The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee", 22:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hey! I really appreciate it for you to welcome me. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== linking to "running gag" ==

It is not proper wiki practice to link to things such as this. Please stop or I will be forced to sick a sysop on you. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 13:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
PS. Just to clarify, the part about the sysop was a joke, but still, please stop doing it.
:Generic pages like [[running gag]] and [[Easter egg]] are generally only linked to here when we're talking about runnning gags or Easter eggs in ''general''... when we're talking about a ''specific'' gag or egg, we leave those links out, 'cause otherwise it'd just be link overload... too many links can sometimes be less helpful than not enough. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:What! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== I apologize if I offended you in any way ==

It certainly was not my intention to offend you, and I am always happy to see a new user join. I think your edit to my user page was a bit uncalled for, but point taken. I hope you'll accept my apology, and that we can come to be friends in the future. Very seriously, [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hey! It's O.K! Me too. I would like to be your friend. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== Show Preview ==

Just a tip for future reference for when you're messing with your user page: when you're editing, there is a "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button – if you use that, you can see what you've changed without saving the page, which is easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and it doesn't fill up [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] with your edits. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:Please, use Show Preview when you're editing pages... it's much harder to keep track of the changes to the wiki when there's 10 edits in a row on the same page, all by the same person, tweaking the formatting in ways that would be much easier done with Show Preview. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
::Sam, this is ridiculous. Please use "show preview" when editing your user page. If you don't know what we're talking about, then at least post here and ask. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks you for the info! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== Editing others' userpages ==

You have been told before, I believe, not to edit others' userpages, especially not to add disparaging language to them. Doing so is considered vandalism. Don't do it again, or you may be blocked from editing. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

:Going through your edits, I see that you have added "I suck" three times to user pages of other users. This is not acceptable. You need to learn to a) not take everything so personal and b) use talk pages to tell others in a civilized manner about your grievances. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone defaced your user page. I also urge you to apologize to DeFender and Trey.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright! Fine! I'll stop. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
==Strong Bad Allegiance==
Please leave me a messege after the beep. "BEEP"!
:Just asking formally if I could be in your awesome club. It sounds cool. Actually, make that kewl. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
::Hey juys. Let me take this opportunity to point out our totally awexome [[HRFWiki:|sister wiki]]. I really think it might be a better fit for your clüb. Thanks one million. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:::If he wants to do more of it there, that's fine, but from what I gather "the club" is just putting a userbox on your page that says you're in it. It's kind of like the Posse one or the Nerd one. No harm done there, I believe. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 16:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright! You are now part of the club. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:No, I would rather not [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]. I want it to be like T(w)een Guy Squad. Thanks anyways. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
Well, only two members is hardly a club. So... Can I make it ''three''? ;) — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 13:28, 18 March 2007
:Sure. I'll send you messege as soon as I can. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:I'd LOVE to join!!!! {{User:WeirdAl/sig}} 00:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

:Yay! I'm in a club! {{User:Austio888888/sig}}

== Welcoming anonnies ==

I'm pretty sure we're not in the habit of welcoming anonomous users. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, Sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
::It's alright, just it would get kind of annoying and repetative to have the welcome thing on every random IP's page. I'm trying to save ''you'' the work. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== I feel useful! ==

I'd love to be part of the Strong Bad Allegiance. A character that funny deserves the sort of fanclub that you are offering. However, if you like SB so much, why do you have a gif of him gettig pummeled? {{User:Drippingyellowmadness/sig}} 18:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:And also, why are you using somebody else's personal image? --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 18:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright Drippingyellowmadness, your a member. The reason I have that image is because it's funny. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:I will not answer that question. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Your Signature ==

Hey there, Sam the Man. I'm just a friendly reminder that your signature does not conform to the [[HRWiki:Signature|guidelines]]. Images in signatures are limited to 20 pixels in height, and they should not use heavily distracting animations like your sig does. Please fix this. Keep on tranglin'{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== Hey Sam ==

In the future, please don't edit my page. If you want me to change the way you're listed on my page, please post a message saying so on my talk page instead of editing it. Thanks, {{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Oops! Sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Editing while angry ==

Hello Sam. If you'll look at my reply on [[User_talk:It%27s_dot_com#Look.21_The_Doc_Agees_With_Me|my talk page]], you'll see that I don't actually have a problem with the article in question; rather, you simply need to follow the way we do things around here. I mean no disrespect to Dr. Clash, but if Phlip, who is a very accomplished editor (and is in fact a sysop here), nominates an article for deletion, then we are at least going to have a hearing on the matter. Just because an article is nominated for deletion doesn't mean it will be deleted. I want to caution you again against editing while you're angry. You might burn a bridge that you didn't really intend to burn. Just about every long-time user, myself included, has had something deleted that they worked for a while on. That's just the nature of the wiki, and you shouldn't take it personally or be discouraged by it. When things like that happen, I recommend you step back to cool off a bit before you do anything rash. Anyways, I'll talk atcha later, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Secondly, I would like to mention that it is a very bad idea to remove a Tobedeleted template from a page. If you read It's Dot com's reply on the page, it clearly says to "let a sysop do that." Please, do not remove the template again. My paragraph isn't as long as It's dot com's, --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 21:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

==Da Iron Cup Award!==
[[Image:Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.jpg|thumb]]
Hey, Sam. I saw you've been making tons of good edits, like creating [[Europa-pean Lobster]], [[Trog-Cave]], and all those other pages you created. So, I wanted to award you (drumroll...) '''THE IRON CUP OF BRUNSWICK STEW'''.

==Welcome Sam the Man!==

{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}}, and "The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee", 22:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hey! I really appreciate it for you to welcome me. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== linking to "running gag" ==

It is not proper wiki practice to link to things such as this. Please stop or I will be forced to sick a sysop on you. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 13:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
PS. Just to clarify, the part about the sysop was a joke, but still, please stop doing it.
:Generic pages like [[running gag]] and [[Easter egg]] are generally only linked to here when we're talking about runnning gags or Easter eggs in ''general''... when we're talking about a ''specific'' gag or egg, we leave those links out, 'cause otherwise it'd just be link overload... too many links can sometimes be less helpful than not enough. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:What! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== I apologize if I offended you in any way ==

It certainly was not my intention to offend you, and I am always happy to see a new user join. I think your edit to my user page was a bit uncalled for, but point taken. I hope you'll accept my apology, and that we can come to be friends in the future. Very seriously, [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hey! It's O.K! Me too. I would like to be your friend. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== Show Preview ==

Just a tip for future reference for when you're messing with your user page: when you're editing, there is a "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button – if you use that, you can see what you've changed without saving the page, which is easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and it doesn't fill up [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] with your edits. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:Please, use Show Preview when you're editing pages... it's much harder to keep track of the changes to the wiki when there's 10 edits in a row on the same page, all by the same person, tweaking the formatting in ways that would be much easier done with Show Preview. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
::Sam, this is ridiculous. Please use "show preview" when editing your user page. If you don't know what we're talking about, then at least post here and ask. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks you for the info! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== Editing others' userpages ==

You have been told before, I believe, not to edit others' userpages, especially not to add disparaging language to them. Doing so is considered vandalism. Don't do it again, or you may be blocked from editing. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

:Going through your edits, I see that you have added "I suck" three times to user pages of other users. This is not acceptable. You need to learn to a) not take everything so personal and b) use talk pages to tell others in a civilized manner about your grievances. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone defaced your user page. I also urge you to apologize to DeFender and Trey.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright! Fine! I'll stop. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
==Strong Bad Allegiance==
Please leave me a messege after the beep. "BEEP"!
:Just asking formally if I could be in your awesome club. It sounds cool. Actually, make that kewl. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
::Hey juys. Let me take this opportunity to point out our totally awexome [[HRFWiki:|sister wiki]]. I really think it might be a better fit for your clüb. Thanks one million. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:::If he wants to do more of it there, that's fine, but from what I gather "the club" is just putting a userbox on your page that says you're in it. It's kind of like the Posse one or the Nerd one. No harm done there, I believe. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 16:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright! You are now part of the club. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:No, I would rather not [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]. I want it to be like T(w)een Guy Squad. Thanks anyways. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
Well, only two members is hardly a club. So... Can I make it ''three''? ;) — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 13:28, 18 March 2007
:Sure. I'll send you messege as soon as I can. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:I'd LOVE to join!!!! {{User:WeirdAl/sig}} 00:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Yay! I'm in a club! {{User:Austio888888/sig}}

== Welcoming anonnies ==

I'm pretty sure we're not in the habit of welcoming anonomous users. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, Sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
::It's alright, just it would get kind of annoying and repetative to have the welcome thing on every random IP's page. I'm trying to save ''you'' the work. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== I feel useful! ==

I'd love to be part of the Strong Bad Allegiance. A character that funny deserves the sort of fanclub that you are offering. However, if you like SB so much, why do you have a gif of him gettig pummeled? {{User:Drippingyellowmadness/sig}} 18:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:And also, why are you using somebody else's personal image? --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 18:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright Drippingyellowmadness, your a member. The reason I have that image is because it's funny. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:I will not answer that question. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Your Signature ==

Hey there, Sam the Man. I'm just a friendly reminder that your signature does not conform to the [[HRWiki:Signature|guidelines]]. Images in signatures are limited to 20 pixels in height, and they should not use heavily distracting animations like your sig does. Please fix this. Keep on tranglin'{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== Hey Sam ==

In the future, please don't edit my page. If you want me to change the way you're listed on my page, please post a message saying so on my talk page instead of editing it. Thanks, {{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Oops! Sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Editing while angry ==

Hello Sam. If you'll look at my reply on [[User_talk:It%27s_dot_com#Look.21_The_Doc_Agees_With_Me|my talk page]], you'll see that I don't actually have a problem with the article in question; rather, you simply need to follow the way we do things around here. I mean no disrespect to Dr. Clash, but if Phlip, who is a very accomplished editor (and is in fact a sysop here), nominates an article for deletion, then we are at least going to have a hearing on the matter. Just because an article is nominated for deletion doesn't mean it will be deleted. I want to caution you again against editing while you're angry. You might burn a bridge that you didn't really intend to burn. Just about every long-time user, myself included, has had something deleted that they worked for a while on. That's just the nature of the wiki, and you shouldn't take it personally or be discouraged by it. When things like that happen, I recommend you step back to cool off a bit before you do anything rash. Anyways, I'll talk atcha later, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Secondly, I would like to mention that it is a very bad idea to remove a Tobedeleted template from a page. If you read It's Dot com's reply on the page, it clearly says to "let a sysop do that." Please, do not remove the template again. My paragraph isn't as long as It's dot com's, --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 21:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

==Da Iron Cup Award!==
[[Image:Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.jpg|thumb]]
Hey, Sam. I saw you've been making tons of good edits, like creating [[Europa-pean Lobster]], [[Trog-Cave]], and all those other pages you created. So, I wanted to award you (drumroll...) '''THE IRON CUP OF BRUNSWICK STEW'''.
<blockquote>This award, the first on HRWiki, is given to recognize good contributions and to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated. It was given to [[The Cheat]] by [[Strong Bad]] for his good work on [[New Boots]].</blockquote>

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{slowly}'' Boom, tick. Tick-a-tick-a-tick, email. Boom, tick. Tick-a-tick-a-tick, What? Didgeri—
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: looking old?</div>
Dear Strongbad,<br />
You really do look old, how old are you anyways?<br />
<br />
Your faithful fan,<br />
Andy Hsiao, Taiwan
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the sender's name as "Andy, H-S-I-A-O and sometimes Y, from Taiwan."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look Andyman, my age is a closely guarded secret, protected by a sect of closely guarded monks high atop the Coches Mountains. ''{clears screen}'' They would no sooner dance with a goat than divulge my age. But they ''will'' bake you some crustly guarded bread! Anyways, whattaya mean I look old? Are you telling me the nightly nacho cheese masks aren't working?

''{As he says this, cut to a shot of Strong Bad in the bathroom, looking in the mirror. His face is covered in nacho cheese, and he then covers his eyes with two corn chips, with jalapeño slices on them. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't have the young peoples thinking I'm old! Am I really losing the youth vote? This calls for an EMERGENCY MARKETING MEETING!!!

''{Zoom out to a full view of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating a siren}'' Whaaa-donk. Click-click-click-click-click-click-click.

''{Cut to The Cheat watching TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoing voice-over}'' This is not a drill.

''{The Cheat gets off the couch and walks off. Cut to a silhouette view of Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoing voice-over}'' Whaaa-donk. Click-click-click-click-click-click-click. This is not a drill.

''{Bubs leaves the concession stand and walks off. Cut to Strong Bad at a desk. There is an easel in the background holding a piece of paper labelled "EMERGENCY MARKETING MEETING!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you all for coming on short ''such'' notice. You represent the best, the brightest, the people I hate the least. 'Cept you, Marzipan. You're here because of legal reasons.

'''MARZIPAN:''' We're ditty!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now what I need is an image overhaul. Something to reconnect me with the youth of today. Something that says—

''{Zoom in on the easel, the front piece of paper is moved away, revealing a badly-drawn picture of Strong Bad on a skateboard and another person on roller skates, with the caption:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Sup my young parsons, I too am so on the go that I drink my yogurt from a tube". Now what have ya got?

''{Cut to The Cheat with an overhead projector. He puts on a transparency:}''
<blockquote style="width: 20em">
<div style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 1em">'''YOUTH THROUGH'''<br /><span style="color: red">''EDITING''</span></div>
*<span style="color: red">''QUICK''</span> '''CUTS'''
*<span style="color: red">''INCESSANT''</span> '''MUSIC'''
*<span style="color: red">''DISORIENTING''</span> '''CLOSE-UPS'''
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Youth through editing, huh? I'm on board, I'm not bored. So, how would it work?

''{The Cheat hits a button on a remote control, and plays a remixed version of the email. Behind everything is techno music consisting of a drum track and occasional The Cheat noises. Several quick repetitions of Strong Bad bringing up the email play, with the tilt angle changing and zooming in on the screen further on each one. Cut to a shot of Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dijjery–dear—

''{Cut to an extreme close-up of Strong Bad's eyes, moving across the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dijjery–dear—

''{Cut to an extreme close-up of Strong Bad's mouth, upside-down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dijjery–dear Strong Bad.

''{Cut to a side-on shot of Strong Bad at the computer desk, with the left side of the screen mirrored onto the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You really do look old.

''{The last two lines of the email on the computer screen slide into the top third of the screen, Strong Bad's hands on the keyboard slide into the bottom third, and a closeup of Strong Bad's eyes slides into the centre third.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your faithful fan—

''{The top and bottom thirds slide away, revealing the rest of Strong Bad's face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —from Taiwan.

''{Pan across Strong Bad's hands on the computer. As he types, "<tt>]Look Andyman,</tt>" appears in large letters along the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look Andyman,

''{Slowly zoom in on the computer screen, tilted at an angle, as Strong Bad types.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My age is a closely guarded secret,

''{Tracking lines appear and the shot rewinds to just after "Look Andyman," was typed. Then a split-screen shot, in all four corners is the same shot of Strong Bad, each with a different colour tint – red in the top left, yellow in the top right, green in the lower left and blue in the lower right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyways—

''{A normal shot of Strong Bad typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —whattaya—

''{A close-up of Strong Bad's mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —mean I—

''{A close-up of Strong Bad's typing hands.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —look—

''{A side view of Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —old?

''{A close-up of the power point under the desk. Then static, and we return to Strong Bad at the emergency marketing meeting. Disorienting sound effects play in the background, and Strong Bad is having trouble looking straight.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... The Cheat... I don't know whether to puke or have a seizure...

''{A piece of paper is put on the easel, with silhouettes of Strong Bad throwing up and seizing, labelled "STYLE 1" and "STYLE 2". Cut to Bubs, who has a folder labelled "'''GOO'''<del>BA</del>D IDEAS"}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I've been noticing how kids love anything with a lowercase "i" in front of it. It's working great for me down at the Concession Stand!

''{Cut to the concession stand, on the desk there is a sign reading "<del>1</del>0% OFF ALL iTems!" Pull back to see Homestar Runner and Homsar standing in line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to Homsar}'' Hey, Homestar. What color iTem are you gonna get?

''{Cut back to the meeting}''

'''BUBS:''' We could try iStrong, or iBad...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We already tried that with lowercase "e"s back in the late '90s. We all know where that got us.

''{Cut to a large number of boxes, all labelled "eStrong Vague Online Investments". The wind can be heard blowing through, and Gavin walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next.

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I came up with a few ways to spruce up your look, and add hundreds to your resell value.

''{Marzipan pulls out a piece of paper with a diagram of Strong Bad's head on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' I am legally obligated to ask you to proceed.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks.

''{Zoom in on the diagram of Strong Bad's head. As Marzipan suggests changes, they appear on the diagram.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' First we're gonna start with a flagstone path leading up to your chin, right here. Then we'll fill the negative space around your head with Forsythia and maybe some Alberta spruce. And last, we install a water feature right here, ''{Strong Bad's forehead}'' which I think will create a great focal point for entertaining summer guests. ''{some outdoor tables and a deck chair appear}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this'll work great, Marzipan. If I was a ''BACKYARD''!

''{He says this last word so loud that a strong wind blows out his mouth, blowing Marzipan's hair around and rippling her cheeks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next.

''{Strong Mad pulls out a card, labelled "were a diper", a diaper with Nebulon pictures on it hanging from the middle from what is labelled "dupp tape", and pictures on the right of "grass", "rocks" and "mounds".}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WEAR A DIAPER!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, nice try, bo-hwee-moth, but that's a little younger than I was looking ''{pronounced as loo-king}'' to go. These are all terrible ideas! What am I not paying you people for, anyway? It's time to resort to extreme measures. With Gene Hackman. It's time for a lace lift!

''{A new piece of paper lands on the easel, with a diagram of the back of Strong Bad's head, an arrow pointing away from the shoelace knot at the bottom of the laces, and the caption "PULL THOSE SUCKAS TIGHT".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Strong Mad! Prep for surgery!

''{Cut to the lounge room, Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat enter from above wearing surgical gowns and masks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, on three.

''{Cut to behind Strong Bad, Strong Mad is holding the shoelace knot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One... Two... Aah!

''{Strong Mad pulls the strings, deforming Strong Bad's head, and stretching out all of his facial features. His mouth is severely stretched, and his speech is mumbled and subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah. I feel at least 10 years younger. Time to go relate to some 18-24 year olds!

''{Strong Bad walks to the dining room, making Homsars walking noise, where Strong Sad is sitting staring at a plate of food with some peas and corn which he has lined up neatly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello, my fellow young person! ''{The subtitles read "What's up, my fellow young parson?"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hey Great Grandma. When did you get here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm not Great Grandma. I'm a young person, like you. I eat my yogurt from a tube.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiling, amused}'' That's right! You eat ''everything'' through a tube! Well, let's get you back to the home.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait! I'm a hip young person!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, I saw your new hip! It looks great!

''{Strong Sad leads the complaining Strong Bad out of the room.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why don't you tell me again about the time the Depression fought Abraham Lincoln naked in your front yard?

''{The Paper comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Strong Bad's Age.png|thumb|A closely guarded secret]]
*When Strong bad is talking about the sect of closely guarded monks, click on the words 'closely guarded monks' to see the [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor]] in brown robes atop a mountain with lightning and treasure.
* Click on 'crustly guarded bread' to see a sample of [[Crustly Guarded Bread|the bread]].
* Click on the diaper to see a plane fly across the top of the screen with 'WEAR A DIAPER!' towed behind it.
* At the end, click on the fork to see Homestar in the eStrong warehouse:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{echoing voice}'' I'll take it! I'll take 12!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rhytidectomy|facelift]] is a [[Wikipedia:Cosmetic surgery|cosmetic surgery]] procedure where excess skin is removed from the face, to remove wrinkles.
*"H, s, i, a, o, and sometimes y" refers to the Latin [[Wikipedia:Vowel#Written vowels|vowels]], which are sometimes listed as "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y".
*''"Chai"'' means "[[Wikipedia:Chai|tea]]" in [[Wikipedia:Hindi|Hindi]] and "[[Wikipedia:Chai (symbol)|life]]" in [[Wikipedia:Hebrew|Hebrew]]. The ch in the Hindi word is read as a [[Wikipedia:Voiceless postalveolar affricate|Voiceless postalveolar affricate]], but the Hebrew ch is read as a [[Wikipedia:Voiceless uvular fricative|Voiceless uvular fricative]]. "[[Wikipedia:L'Chaim|L'Chaim]]" is a Hebrew toast meaning "cheers", or more literally, "to life." The tea Marzipan drinks is also certified [[Wikipedia:kosher|kosher]], meaning that it meets Jewish dietary guidelines.
*The "nightly nacho cheese masks" appears to be a type of [[Wikipedia:facial|facial]]. Usually, [[Wikipedia: avocado|avocado]] is used. Avocados are the main ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Guacamole|guacamole]], another popular nacho dip.
*Strong Bad not knowing whether to "throw up" or "have a seizure" after seeing the Cheat's editing is a reference to seizures caused by television shows or video games. One example is an episode of [[Wikipedia: Pokemon|Pokemon]], which involved flashing lights alternating red and blue. Because it was causing seizures in Japan, even for those with no history of seizures, the episode was banned. In response to the problem with video games, a law was passed that stated that all video games give a seizure warning before the game begins.

===Trivia===
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#drakkhen|drakkhen]]".
*This is the first time the Strongs' [[Parents|great-grandmother]] is mentioned.
*This is the first email explicitly sent from Asia.

===Remarks===
*During the Cheat's remixed version of the intro, clicking on the Lappy's screen will still produce the usual distortion effect.
**However, on some shots, the distortion effect is dimmer than usual.
**It doesn't work when there are closeups on Strong Bad's [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|typing]].
*This email contains another example of [[Strong Sad Smiling]]

===Goofs===
[[Image:Looking Old Goof.PNG|thumb|"Yes, you eat ''everything'' through a tube."]]
*When Strong Sad is walking "to the home", his closed mouth is visible under his round mouth.
*In Strong Sad's line "Oh, hey Great Grandma. When did you get here?", his mouth is not properly synched to the word "here".
*Strong Bad's skull is bigger than the normal shape of his mask.

===Glitches===
*When Marzipan closes her eyes, you can see a dot flash near them. This is because she blinks every four seconds or so, and with her eyes closed, she attempts to blink over her closed eyes. The effect can easily be observed if the email is paused while her eyes are closed.

===Inside References===
*The music that plays when Strong Bad summons his "marketing staff" was originally used in [[candy product]] when he described the [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]].
*[[Nebulon]] appears on the diaper and uses the same art from [[best thing]].
*The "WEAR A DIAPER!" Easter egg is a reference to [[Wear a Bikini!]], especially [[Main Page 3]].
*The music that plays when Strong Bad is mistaken for his great-grandmother was first used in [[portrait]].
*"I'll take it! I'll take twelve!" is a direct line from [[garage sale]].
*Part of the suspenseful [[cliffhangers|cliffhanger]] music is used when Strong Bad reveals his plan for a lace lift.
*The Coches Mountains were previously mentioned in [[geddup noise]]. ''(see also Real-World References)''
*When Strong Bad walks after he's had his "lace lift" he makes Homsar's walking noise.
*The hooded figures in the Easter egg are a reference to the three keepers in the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]], who also wave their hands over their head in a similar fashion.
*The diaper display is the same as the displays used by Strong Bad and Homestar in the All-Wide Science Fair as seen in the email [[caffeine]].


===Real World References===
[[Image:Strong Bad Andy Warhol.png|thumb|A [[Wikipedia:Pop art|pop artist]]'s take on the wrestleman]]
*Eating your yogurt from a tube is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Go-Gurt|Go-Gurt]], a brand of "portable yogurt", or "Yo on the go".
**In the case of Canada, it refers to Yoplait Tubes.
*The "iTems" that Bubs sells and his statement that "kids love anything with a [[Lowercase i's|lowercase 'i']] in front of it" refer to [[Wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s many products with that naming scheme, such as the [[Wikipedia:iPod|iPod]], [[Wikipedia:iMac|iMac]], [[Wikipedia:iBook|iBook]], [[Wikipedia:iPhone|iPhone]], etc.
*[[Wikipedia:Extreme Measures|Extreme Measures]] is a 1996 thriller starring [[Wikipedia:Gene Hackman|Gene Hackman]].
*The split-screen shot with Strong Bad in four different color tints refers to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol]]'s art.
*Strong Bad's "alarm" sound is an imitation of the alarm heard in the NES version of [[Wikipedia:Maniac Mansion|Maniac Mansion]] when you turn on the water valve.
*Strong Bad's statement about using "lowercase 'e's back in the late 90s." refers to the common marketing technique in that era to attach "e" as in "electronic" to a product to ride the coattails of the burgeoning e-commerce industry, which took the "e" in its name from electronic mail, email.

Austio888888: /**/4th Trogday

==Format==
I assume similar fanstuff-slideshow works like [[More Fan Costumes]] will be used as precedent here. Let's make sure nobody starts uploading a zillion screenshots. It'll take quite a bit of time to describe all the images, but that's what we're lookin' at. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Here, I got them listed up to when it goes really fast:

*{{tick}} A skewed drawing of trogdor ''{says "TROGDOR! THE BURNINATOR!" on the bottom left corner of the page}''
*{{tick}} <s>Some kind of goop</s> in the shape of trogdor on a plate ''{edited in text next to it that says "TROGDOR the BURNINATOR"; this is actually an S-shaped pancake with syrup making up the wings and small pancake pieces as the arm and legs and flame}''
*{{tick}} A cookie shaped like trogdor
*{{tick}} A drawing of Trogdor (possibly MS painted) ''{says "TROGDOR!" renewed!!" His beefy arm is also a whole lot bigger.}''
*{{tick}} A plushie Trogdor
*{{tick}} A "text picture" of Trogdor ''{correct term is ASCII Art. Underneath is "TRODGOR" also in ASCII art, followed by "Teh 1337 burn1na7x0r"}''

*{{tick}} Three costumes

*{{tick}} A cake shaped like Trogdor

*{{tick}} <s>Two</s> One drawing<s>s</s> of Trogdor ''{a really well done drawing, at that.}''
*{{tick}} An Etch-a-Sketch type drawing of Trogdor ''{I think it's one of those magnetic drawing things. "Burninator" wraps around it (so the "TOR" is in the lower left, though the rest of the word is on the right), and a peasant is on fire.}''
*{{tick}} A Maine Liscense plate reading "Trogdor"
*{{tick}} A Delaware Liscese plate reading the same thing.
*{{tick}} A picture of a country side <s>with Trogdor edited in</s> ''{It's actually a giant Trogdor shaped hot-air balloon. Jay: Still looks edited to me though. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}}:It's edited. I know this image was photoshopped in one of the Fark.com page.}''
*{{tick}} What appears to be a fish stick shaped like Trogdor ''{could be a chicken strip}''
*{{tick}} <s>A cookie</s> shaped like Trogdor ''{Not a cookie. Can't tell what it is.}'' ''{looks to me like one o' those fried shrimp you'd see in a Chinese Buffet. {{User:Salty/sig}} 22:11, 14 January 2006 (UTC)}''
*{{tick}} Two Digital rendered pictures of Trogdor ''{3D images. Second one has no wings.}''
*{{tick}} A Zippo with a <s>picture of Trogdor and the words "The Burninator" engraved in it</s> ''{A better way of saying this is "An almost-exact replica of the drawing of Trogdor that Strong Bad drew engraved in it, along with "TROGDOR THE BURNiNATOR"}''
*{{tick}} A costume ''{A shirt that has Trodgor drawn on it. The man seems to be dressed as some kind of Rennaisance-era knight.}''
*<s>A costume with some guy getting burninated</s> ''{Same as last one, just zoomed in.}''
*A "block" letter drawing of Trogdors name with the "T" beathing fire ''{The word "BURNINATED!!" is in the T's fire. Also, the "D" is saying "[[Main Page 15|I'm Sad we're all burning...]]" and the sun is saying "RUN!" It's credited to "Ryan Ingham".}''

*{{tick}} A picture of Trogdor chasing some of the main characters and Strong Bad and the Cheat riding on him ''{Trogdor is chasing The Poopsmith, Strong Sad, Pom Pom, Marzipan, Coach Z, Bubs, The King of Town and Homestar. Strong Mad is standing behind Trogdor.}''
*{{tick}} A hockey Jersey reading "Trogdor"
*{{tick}} A sculpture of Trogdor done in Legos
*{{tick}} <span style = "color: #FFFF00">*</span> A drawing of Trogdor ''{repeated later}''
*{{tick}} A grafitti drawing of Trogdor
*{{tick}} "Trogdor house" ''{It's apparently at some Texas university (notice the sign on the right)}''

*{{tick}} A picture of Trogdor done in "post-its" ''{note: this is the MIT "hack" documented at [[School Sightings#Trogdor: MIT Hacker]]. Should be linked in a Fun Fact.}''

*{{tick}} Foil in the shape of Trogdor.
*{{tick}} A drawn construction sign that says "Danger! Burninating in progress!" and with Trogdor in the middle.
*{{tick}} Drawings of "Baby Trogdor" ''{These could be [[Sketchbook]] Drawings, actually, given their style... there appears to be a Kerrek on there too, and an archer that just ARROWED! one of the Trogdors.}''
*{{tick}} Trogdor drawn in snow ''{A burninated peasant too}''
*{{tick}} Trogdor painted on the side of a ceramic bowl

== troggie = trekkie? ==

The first thing I thought when SB wrote "happy trogday troggie" was that he was wishing us, the fans, a happy trogday and calling the viewer "troggie," an obsessive trogdor fan (the way "trekkie" is an obsessive star trek fan.) And I thought that was absolutely hilarious, both on its own and as a reference to [[TrogdorCon '97]]. Scanning through the forum, I don't seem to see anyone else with this opinion. So. Am I the only one who thought that the term "troggie" was a deliciously SB-esque way of making fun of all of us?
:Nah, it's just a way of making a cute [[Nicknames|nickname]] for Trogdor. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I love the theory, and think I'll start using it that way myself, but no, I really think it was just a term of endearment for the dragon. But I think "troggie" should apply to such persons as are into Trogdor without being all-the-way into H*R.

I tried to go back and leave a Summary (without editing anything else) but it didn't work. Thanks in advance. {{unsigned|Adaman|15:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)}}
:Nope, there's no way to change the edit summary of a past edit. What you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=coloring&diff=379459&oldid=379456 did] is pretty much the standard if you want to clarify a summary... just make another minor edit and put the summary there. You have to make some change... if the wiki text is exactly the same, it won't save... just adding or removing a space somewhere is enough if you can't find some minor punctuation to fix (see [[Meta:Help:Dummy_edit]]). If you want, there is an option in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], at the bottom of the "Editing" section, that'll warn you if you're about to save an edit without a summary. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

== Summaries ==

I feel stupid asking this, but how do I get the arrows in the edit summary that link to the part of the article I just edited? I looked around, but I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 12:32, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
:Do this: <tt><nowiki>/* (Header) */ (Edit Summary)</nowiki></tt>. Replace "(Header)" with the header, and "(Edit summary)" with your edit summary. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, as [[User:213.249.155.240|213.249.155.240]] (not logged in), 12:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

:::Thank you! {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 00:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

== downloads ==

are downloads free?? {{unsigned|69.40.157.27|15:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)}}
:Nope. Please make checks payable to: It's dot com, c/o Homestar Runner Wiki. Seriously, what are you talking about? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

== custom nav? ==

I've been wanting to add some custom navigation links for things I frequently go to on the wiki. I understand in theory how I would do this, and I'm sure if I sat down for a few hours someday I could set it up with a custom monobook.cs and monobook.js to insert what I want and style it appropriately.

But I'd rather not re-invent the wheel. I can see (mostly from looking at the "admin" style customizations on the wikipedia) many examples, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation. (It's all "''look at the source luke!''"-style documentation).

Any pointers? (That don't involve digging through spaghetti to try and reverse engineer?)

== Personal Logo Change ==

I was reading the talk page for Logo Redesign 2006 and I read that it's possible to make the logo look like what you want and it will only for your account. If it's possible how would I do it? - {{User:Flamer8965/sig-holiday}} 06:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
:Add this to your [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|monobook.css]] file:

== How to get an icon or catch phrase. ==

I sometimes see users at the forum have catch phrases or icons. How do I get one for myself?
:These are easily changed under your Profile on the forum (though you need a separate account there). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:That would actually be a question for the Forum; this is pretty much an entirely separate community. In any case, I see this must be your first time on an Internet forum (or at least phpBB). The "catch phrases" (signatures), and "icons" (avatars) can both be set in your preferences, accessible at the top of the page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

== Pictures (Yes, I am new here) ==

How to people get great pictues to upload? Do they pause the flash file? And if so, how do they capture the picure?
:There should be a "Print Screen" button on your keyboard next to insert, scroll lock, home, and the like. Press that button, paste it on a program, and upload it. That button takes a screenshot of your computer screen. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
::See also [[Help:Image]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
I have tried to press print screen (Prt Sc) several times on the flash file and at a page for a test. Neither worked. What gives?
:That just pastes it to the clipboard. Did you try pasting it into an image editing program? - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 23:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

Hey Theyellowdart. I need to point out something about edit summaries: You need to write them so they make sense in the article history, ''not'' the recent changes. The recent changes will disappear in a few days, but the article histories will be there as long as the articles are. For example, "dvd info (fixed)" doesn't make sense {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Superbowl_Dealie&limit=20&action=history&limit=3 in the context}} of the page history. You should just put "dvd info". Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

==Welcome==
Hello I'm Austio888888 or just Austio for short. So check out my [[Userboxes]] to see more info on me. I've been here awhile and know a lot about [[Homestar Runner Wiki|H*R Wiki]]. So if you have any questions or just want to say something to me go [[User talk :Austio888888|here]].Also I love [[Strong Bad]] because of his hilarious attitude.

==How I Came To Love H*R==
I believe I came across homestarrunner.com when a young friend of mine came over with some funny dvds he called them. Those dvd's were [[Everything Else, Volume 1|Everything Else 1]] and [[strongbad email.exe|all four sbemail dvds]]. After watching [[First Time Here?]] I wondered if the website actually existed and wouldn't you know it did. Then, after watching every episode at least twice I looked on [http://Wikipedia.org wikipedia] and found HR Wiki thus bringing me here.

==Contributions==
You can see all my Contribs right [[Special:Contributions/Austio888888|<span style="color:red;">
'''HERE'''</span>]]

==My Usernames==
I've had many other usernames on a lot of different websites those names are.
#Flamer8965 origin- [http://Neopets.com neopets] (I was 9)
#Austio888888 origin- [http://Runescape.com runescape] (I was 10)
#DarkcloudClock origin- [http://Newgrounds.com newgrounds] (I was 10)
So if you see any of these names on any websites It's probably me.

===notes===
*I havn't been to neopets, runescape, or newgrounds since the beginning of July 206, but neopets was about a year before that.
*awhile ago my user name used to be '''Flamer8965''' and I just recently changed it to '''Austio888888''' because I just found out flamer means gay.

==H*R Personality Test==
I took an H*R personality test and below are the results, but some of it's not true (example: I don't think everyone is "crap for brains"). The quiz I took is right [http://www.quizilla.com/users/ProjectOzma/quizzes/%20***Which%20HomeStar%20Runner%20Character%20Are%20You%3F*** here]. And when you take the test it will show a different picture I just edited the image to make it work on the wiki.
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q123/Flamer8965/HRQuiz.jpg

==My Sbemail==
Check out the email I sent Strong Bad this week.

(I send a new one every Sunday)
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Pom Pom</div>
Dear Strong Bad,

What is the most advanced piece of technology Pom Pom has because I always see him with some kind of electronic device.

Crapfully Yours, Flamer8965
</blockquote>

==Stuff I Like Other Than H*R==
I like other things other than [[H*R]] and these things are...

Should there be fun facts or something linking back to "i love you" and Everybody to the Limit? Or are those too obvious?

Maybe just a link to [[Fhqwhgads]]?--[[User:ninja pirate|ninja pirate]] 19:58, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Wrestleman? ==

I just updated the FF about Strong Bad's attack on the radio, and wondered: is this the only time to date where we've seen him actually perform wrestling moves? We've seen him kick and punch enough, but I can't think of any actions indicative of a wrestleman before this.<br>
And if anyone wants to move that FF from 'Real World References' to another category, be my guest (it must have been there because of the previous WWE comment - if people only realized things existed before a week ago...) --[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 02:39, 18 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Talking toaster or toadstool==

At the end of the email, is Homestar saying "I've had it with that talking toaster" or "talking toadstool"? I sounds to me like he's saying "toadstool". --[[User:Sonicstar Runner|Sonicstar Runner]] 17:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
:What is a toadstool? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

:::You know, like the mushroom princess, [[Wikipedia:Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:Because we're talking about the difference between a toaster and a mushroom, I maintain that Homestar said "toaster" - keep in mind that a lot of times, Homestar's "er" pronunciation comes out more like "ul" ("Oh hello! I'm Homestaw Runnul!") - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 17:58, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
::Homestar is referring to the radio. It makes more sense that he would confuse another appliance with it and say "toaster" rather than call it a mushroom. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Then again, Homestar has been known to [[army|confuse a popcorn popper with a soldier]] (and a [[Mrs. Bennedetto|microwave with the soldier's mother]]). ;) - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 18:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

== Song: about skippy? ==

When the scene cuts from Strong Bad's screen closeup to the wide shot with the Cheat's keyboard, it always sounds to me like the beat skips just a bit. I can't tell without running it through some kind of voice-removing program. Does anyone else notice? - [User:Octan|Octan] Jan 24 06, 9:02PM EST

==About the song...==

:Sounds like an excellent question to discuss in the [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ Forum]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think he was saying Douglas. I thought it was more like

FUGGWADS!

Which makes sense.

== Fubugrass ==

I hear fugugrass not fubugrass. Any comments? - {{User:Flamer8965/sig}} 02:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Based on the discussion in the archive, it seems clear that there is enough dissatisfaction with the World concept (both the full world and blended versions) from enough users to exclude it from the running.

I has an idea. Many are saying, "I like B (or C), but I wouldn't mind C (or B)." And it's pretty evenly split between the two as far as first choices go. So why don't we try both for a week? I can set it up so that the first thirty minutes of the hour, we see version B. Then for the final thirty minutes of the hour, we see version C. After a week, if there are strong feelings for keeping one or the other, then we can choose one of them. Or, if we want, we can keep them alternating. (Someone further up the page mentioned rotating several differnt logos, and the idea was nixed, but I think my idea is different from that. These two logos are so close to each other in design that it wouldn't be too jarring for Homestar to be serious part of the time and smiling later. And the extremely slow rate at which they alternate would prevent it from being annoying.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

::::::I was the one who was so strongly opposed to rotating the logo. However, alternating between B and C is something I could live with. Many people might not even notice that it changes.

::::::::Just to clarify, I am not today suggesting that we ''permanently'' have an alternating logo. All I'm saying is that I believe the time has come to implement one of the designs above. Since quite a few people would be okay with either B or C and only slightly favor one over the other (and there's no overwhelming consensus for either one), my idea is that we should just choose both for a short time and see how it goes. Like, not talk about it for a week, and then once the week is up, find out what people think then. If, at that time, everyone says, "I've had time to really see it and think about it, and I think B (or C) is way better than C (or B), and we should just choose one," then we would pick one and go with it. On the other hand, if nearly everyone says, "Wow, the alternating aspect of the logo is super-cool; they should continue alternating," then of course we could do that too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

'''Current Updated B and C''' have now been implemented, and we took a break from discussion for a week. During that time, we were to think about which logo we like better (if you want to see how the other one looks, it will switch within the hour), and also to consider whether we might want the two logos to alternate permanently.

===Getting Away from Blinking/Alternating===
I'm interested to hear from anyone in the pro-B & anti-C camps as to what it is that makes them passionate about the difference between those two (excluding blinking/alternating issues). I know I prefer B to C, but my looking at my personal reasons for that preference, it's not a huge deal to me. I just find that it seems more in-line with our current idenity, as well as seems to match the combination of "serious" work we do here with the "fun" of the subject matter. So I would like to see us choose B, but I don't have any arguments that make me "against" C except for that "It's not B." and that's not a very strong reason. So I'm just want to see if there are other things we may not have thought of when it comes to the differences between B and C in other's eyes. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 22:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

:I'm in favor of B over C, and I think my reasons are the following: First, B is more connected to [[Intro]]. When Homestar is singing, "Everybody", he never opens his mouth to the position seen in C (if you look closely, the mouths are different). So, in a sense, B is more true to the first animation one sees when accessing Homestarrunner.com. I may be splitting hairs here, but I never sense the surprised, gleeful feeling from Homestar's expression in C when I watch the Intro. Second, something about the more serious, watchful Homestar just seems more iconic than the grinning/surprised Homestar to me.

:Lastly, I have to admit I've got the [[HRWiki:Favicon|favicon]] in the back of my mind, and I imagine the whole package fitting together better with the more serious Homestar in both the logo and the favicon. My trials so far have suggested that that a B-style favicon works better than a C-style favicon, and it makes the most sense to have the two logos match as much as possible. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

::B for me. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

:::I know I should have probably mentioned this earlier. But I don't like the lighting behind Homestar and the word "Wiki" on either B or C. The reason why is, it's not prominent enough. When I look at it, it looks like it's bumpy or uneven... like parts of it jut out more than others. When you look at the original logo, you can tell that it's a backlighting but on B and C it just doesn't look very prominent. It's too "light," IMO. Maybe you guys don't think that's a big deal, but if you weigh in what a first time visitor would think... if I think that it's likely others will too. Anyway, I like B better. I think it should alternate though, I see no problem with that. So what if sometimes they see Homestar with his mouth open and sometimes without? It is basically the same logo and this discussion is becoming laughable. The only difference now is him smiling or not smiling really and you guys still write paragraph after paragraph over this mi-nute (mynewt, minute?) detail which doesn't mean much of anything. I would focus more on making that lighting behind Homestar look nicer, because honestly I think it's tacky looking on the logo designs. And that's after staring at them for awhile.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 00:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Isn't this how it all originally started out?? '''C''' all the way. '''B''' looks like he's staring at you, not welcoming you. ''Staring''. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
::::I'm not trying to start all over, my question is directed at people who prefer B. I'm interested to know exactly what makes the other people who like B, like it. This is especially true of those who have a very strong opinion for B or against C. If we're trying to work towards consesnsus, then we need to look at this piece by piece, and right now I think the first piece is: '''"What strong oposition do we have towards the basic B or C designs?"''' I chose to focus on those who strongly favor B over C because that is the camp I have been in for most of this conversation, and it seems simpler to pick this apart a bit at a time right now. For unless we can find consensus for '''BOTH''' B and C, the option of alternating is moot, and unless we can find consensus on one, the other, or both of the options, then the whole blinking conversation is moot as well. We need to find where we do have consensus before we start discussing things that create division instead of unity (consensus). - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 01:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::I'm interested in knowing about what time we're going to wrap this up. I hope this week will be the final one. In regards to Ilko, I've been in the C camp for most of this discussion and I can see why people like B better. It's professional, looks like the intro, and looks a lot like our (now not really) Current logo. However, I think that the logo does not have to look like the Intro, as that wasn't our intention in the first place. My strongest opposition to B is that it's just not ''light'' enough. It also is rather out of character for Homestar to be serious. He usually has that smile on his face and I think we should have it that way. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">''Brightstar Shiner''</span>]] 02:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

===Summary?===
After rereading the last 2 sections of comments thus far this is what I see:
There are people who have objections about both B and C, but at this time there isn't much passionate objection to either, most of it seems based on preference for serious or gleeful homestar over the other option. Alternating has a few objectors, some of which make a good point about having "one logo" but at the same time the logo's are very similar in many ways, and I could argue both are part of our brand here at the Wiki just based on discussions and suggestions throughout this whole process. I would personally say that I see the options right now as C or Alternating (although I'd love for someone to make an argument for B to remain). As far as the Blink, I feel that there is a lot of passion on both sides of that issue, and it may need to be tabled until the discussion on which logo has found consensus. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 04:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
:You summed it up well. <s>Since most people want C or alternating, I would say that the logo most people would be happy with is Current Updated Alternating. It includes C, but doesn't rule out B either. If we choose alternating, issues such as the lighting, blinking, and time between rotation will need to be dealt with, but that shouldn't take too long. All in favor of alternating, say "I", if you please.</s> Never mind. After reading the comments below, I say a static logo is best. Sorry I keep changing my opinion. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">''Brightstar Shiner''</span>]] 00:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
::I had assumed that we had mostly decided on a logo, but if we must have another vote between alternating or C, I must say that I would vote for '''C'''. The alternating could just be a little confusing to some, not to mention I'm quite sure that a few obsessive-compulsive bloggers will be quite frustrated over which logo they should put on their page... for some reason. (Not a very strong argument, but...it could happen). {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 00:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== Towards Consensus ==

We took a week off to ponder B vs C, and ended up taking a step backwards. It's been another week. Permanent-alternating is now on the table. To reach a consensus, we need to agree on one simple yes or no question at a time. At this point, we need to first agree on "alternating or no?". When we agree on the answer to that question, we will know what the next question to ask is. Refer to or add to the arguments above and only state your response to the question at hand in this section. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 08:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

''This is not a vote. It is a measure of our consesus so far. You can change your opinion here at anytime. Do not make arguments here, just state your current stance.''

'''Permanently Alternating? Yes or No'''
:I would prefer a static logo, but I'm ok with alternating if the alternation happens slowly (every 60 minutes minimum). {{User:Bryanc/sig}}

:A static logo is a must. I don't know of any other reputable site who constantly change their logo. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

:If static is a must, I say C. Homestar is dumb and loveable, therefore his expression should be pleasant and blank, not deep and pensive like B. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

*I don't see a good reason to not continue alternating them. It's basically the same logo. That way we could keep the B-style fav icon and alternate between B and C. In all the time it's taking to decide, visitor's to the wiki are seeing alternating logos and probably think that it has changed to alternating versions, changing it to just one will make some go "What happened?" I relaly would rather alternate them because as I see it, that makes everybody happy. B and C are there the favicon can stay as the B-style one. Is there some GOOD REASON why we can't alternate? I don't see one and I think any reason you give me isn't good enough.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
*:I agree with you — especially since, as Dot com mentioned below, they're not really two different logos, they're slight variations of the same one. I would prefer to have alternating between B and C than to have C alone (although I can live with that). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
*::I also wouldn't have a problem with alternating (since, like I say below, I don't consider them different logos, but rather different poses of the same logo). It seems, however, that support for alternating wasn't as universal as I'd hoped, and a few people are staunchly against it. For that reason, I think we'd be better off if we picked one. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 16 December 2006

It really doesn't seem like enough people are in favor of permanently alternating; therefore, we need to choose one. It seems like '''C''' has the most support. I have set the logo to remain at C, and I've slowed the blink ''way'' down. At this point, I think it's up to the B supporters to convince us why we should switch to B; otherwise, we should just go with C. Basically: '''Can everyone live with choosing C as our logo? Notice I didn't ask whether C was your favorite logo of all time, but simply whether you can <u>live with</u> what the majority of users seem to prefer.''' (If the answer for you is yes, then you don't need to state anything other than that you agree.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

*:::Perhaps we could try to tweak the open-mouth favicon so it looks good, but for me it would be fine if the logo and the favicon were just very close in style even if they didn't match exactly. As it is, I don't truly consider B and C to be separate logos, so in my mind anything that matches them ''is'' part of a matching set. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
*I still prefer B, but I can definitely live with C. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
*: It's dot com stated that most people do not agree with alternating, although two people in a row agreed for it after my comment. And most of what I've seen on here seems like people don't mind it all that much. It's not alternating between two different logos. It's the same logo with variations in Homestar's expression. That's the only difference. If you don't know of any sites that do that, then that would make us all the more special. It also matches the "fun" of the site by having the expression change. I still haven't seen a good arguement against it. I personally would rather NOT have C. I still vote for B.{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 01:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

*::::::Note, I didn't say there wasn't support for alternating; I said that there were enough people against it. When I first set up the alternating, it was for the sole purpose of evaluating both versions, but it was not intended to be a permanent thing; therefore, we would need near-universal support for it in order to continue it, and we don't have that kind of support. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

*:::Meh, I think a lot of this confusion could have been easily avoided if you guys had just set up a STUFF-style vote to see who was interested in what. We've come to fairly quick consensus on a lot of other things in the past by doing that. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
*::::I don't think it's been confusion, I think this has gone well thus far, and feel like we're all doing a good job of due-dilligence on this very important decision for the Wiki. I think a vote at any point thus far would have been a worse option than taking our time talking this out and making the right decision for the Wiki as a whole. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 22:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
*:::::You have to admit, though, that if you can't tell where Brightstar Shiner is getting the statistics for who supports what, it's confusing. This discussion is HUGE. I welcome discussion, but seriously, if we'd put up a vote-style questionnaire for the purpose of gathering information, we could probably have come to a consensus much sooner, and in a much more organized format. Questions like "What is your preference, B or C?", "Would you like to see the two alternated?", "Do you have a strong dislike of B?", "Do you have a strong dislike of C?", "Do you want to see Homestar blink? (Strong Yes, Yes, No, The King of No)", etc. These questions, if phrased properly and in such a way that people understand we're just gathering information, would not only make it much easier to just see the results in one spot, but could lead to much more specific, targeted discussions.
*::::::I don't think formal voting fosters consensus; I think it just divides us into two groups over which the majority rules. All of this discussion has been a little difficult to navigate, but overall I don't think it's that hard to discern what people are saying (and we have summarized it at regular intervals so people can keep up). Whenever we have another big decision to make, I have some organizational ideas that might make it go a little smoother, but by and large I think this one went just fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
*:::::::Eh...it's very hard to put everyone's opinion in vote form, mainly because they don't specify which one they ''want''. Almost all of the users that posted here can ''live with'' C, but they might still like B. Therefore, I think the correct tallying should be represented as such: About 90% of users can live with C. Only a few, 10%, flat out objected to it. About 45% (of the 90) liked B as well. C seems to be the winner from this standpoint. Can we wrap this up now? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 03:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

*:Way up there, you said, "But if alternating was to be removed, I'd go with C. Looks more friendly and inviting." So, which is it? Encyclopedic or friendly? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
*Wile I'd rather B, I'm not going to pitch a fit over C. I can live with it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 08:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
*As was just said while "I'd rather B, I'm not going to pitch a fit over C. I can live with it." I DO disagree with Dot Com when it comes to saying C and B are the same logo with just Homestar's expression changing. That's just not true. It is safe in my mind to say that if C is chosen as our new logo, that B is a secondary or alternate logo (which we could then use for the favicon), but to say that these logos are the same is to say that seeing there's no difference between a SBemail and a Toon. They are part of the same universe, but the expectations associated are different. Basically we're doing a good job here of updating our logo either way, we are continuing the same background and basic design (I can't tell but it seems we're staying at least in the same family for the logo-type as well). The defining thing now in regards to our logo seems to be the Kamikaze background and the half-body Homestar, these seem to be what we're choosing to be the characteristics that differentiate us from other "Homestar-style brands," so as long as these exist in some regard we can call it an icon or an alternate logo. I don't think there's a problem with using a closed mouthed Homestar over the background as our favicon, it still keeps the same essential elements as the icon in our logo, and would still be defined by someone viewing it as consistent with our site and "product." Ok, so basically I think I'm just arguing semantics with Dot Com, and we're really saying the same thing. Basically what I'm saying is that from a my standpoint, and really from a design and style standpoint, I don't think the concern over the favicon should be a deciding issue in this discussion. To me we could just put a Kamikaze background up there and anything that fit with our logo-type or icon style would still have the same connection. (Be it closed-mouth Homestar, a big W (for wiki), a Star, etc.) - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 17:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

==Welcome==
Hello I'm Austio888888 or just Austio for short. So check out my [[Userboxes]] to see more info on me. I've been here awhile and know a lot about [[Homestar Runner Wiki|H*R Wiki]]. So if you have any questions or just want to say something to me go [[User talk :Austio888888|here]].Also I love [[Strong Bad]] because of his hilarious attitude.

==How I Came To Love H*R==
I believe I came across homestarrunner.com when a young friend of mine came over with some funny dvds he called them. Those dvd's were [[Everything Else, Volume 1|Everything Else 1]] and [[strongbad email.exe|all four sbemail dvds]]. After watching [[First Time Here?]] I wondered if the website actually existed and wouldn't you know it did. Then, after watching every episode at least twice I looked on [http://Wikipedia.org wikipedia] and found HR Wiki thus bringing me here.

==Contributions==
You can see all my Contribs right [[Special:Contributions/Austio888888|<span style="color:red;">
'''HERE'''</span>]]

==My Usernames==
I've had many other usernames on a lot of different websites those names are.
#Flamer8965 origin- [http://Neopets.com neopets] (I was 9)
#Austio888888 origin- [http://Runescape.com runescape] (I was 10)
#DarkcloudClock origin- [http://Newgrounds.com newgrounds] (I was 10)
So if you see any of these names on any websites It's probably me.

===notes===
*I havn't been to neopets, runescape, or newgrounds since the beginning of July 206, but neopets was about a year before that.
*awhile ago my user name used to be '''Flamer8965''' and I just recently changed it to '''Austio888888''' because I just found out flamer means gay.

==H*R Personality Test==
I took an H*R personality test and below are the results, but some of it's not true (example: I don't think everyone is "crap for brains"). I don't remember what website a got it from, but all you have to do is google '''Homestar Personality Test''' and you'll find plenty of tests.

:Hi. --{{User:the thing/sig}} 20:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== Alphabetical Navigation ==

Hi The thing. I just noticed your [[Template:Alphabetical Nav|new template]] and was wondering what your plans were with it. Are you just leaving it on those three categories? I also noticed a problem with the template as it is now. It ignores lowercase letters, which is OK for the Users with Userboxes template because they all start with capitals anyway, but [[:Category:Strong Bad Filmography]] is mostly lowercase letters, making the template almost useless. I am also intrigued by your lack of edit explanation via edit summaries or talk page notes indicating your intentions with the template. Were you hoping other users woud see it and take it upon themselves to put it on every template? I would appreciazte a little reply indicating your plans for the future of the template. This isn't an early threat of deletion, I'm just wondering what you're planning to do with it. Thanks, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 21:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

:Just so you know, I fixed the template and moved it to [[Template:CategoryTOC]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 01:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

== Changes and archives ==

Hey! I went ahead and made those <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:The_thing&diff=prev&oldid=342673 changes] to your user page I'd [[User talk:The thing/archive 7#.28Don.27t.29 sign here|talked about]]. Also, I noticed that you've got an archive, [[User talk:The thing/archive 7|number 7]], that isn't linked at the top of this page! Might wanna do that. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

== Subtitles ==
Can you please stop making all these rule breaking subtitles? I don't want to have clean up your mess all the time. You've made enough. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

::Don't feel bad. Sometimes things are just too complicated. "You're just a kid! Maybe when your older." - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, this is a wiki, and people have to be aware that some pages aren't up to standard. Someone starts them and others finish them. No need to shout at people over that. On the other hand, The thing, please read through [[HRWiki:Subtitles]], it'll give you some very helpful tips for your next subtitles. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
::::I will mention, it ''is'' a bit complicated, especially if you aren't already fluent in HTML or XML. But a few read-throughs of the standards and '''careful''' checking of your work will make it easier. The key to it is attention to detail. Even so, I still usually have to edit a few things after the fact on mine. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::Okay. And btw, I'm pretty good with HTML. Just not as good with XML. {{User:The thing/sig}} 13:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==Reply from Yeltensic==

Hey there, I just got your message on my Wikipedia talkpage. It was the first time I'd logged in for months, my last edit was in July; I'm mostly to be found on IMDB and Myspace now. Sure, no problem. I...hadn't even vandalized in a pretty long time, anyway, had I? I've been rather busy lately with college, not much time to vandalize :P. --Yeltensic {{unsigned|24.110.232.241|00:47, 2 October 2006}}

==Welcome==
Hello I'm Austio888888 or just Austio for short. So check out my [[Userboxes]] to see more info on me. I've been here awhile and know a lot about [[Homestar Runner Wiki|H*R Wiki]]. So if you have any questions or just want to say something to me go [[User talk :Austio888888|here]].Also I love [[Strong Bad]] because of his hilarious attitude.

==How I Came To Love H*R==
I believe I came across homestarrunner.com when a young friend of mine came over with some funny dvds he called them. Those dvd's were [[Everything Else, Volume 1|Everything Else 1]] and [[strongbad email.exe|all four sbemail dvds]]. After watching [[First Time Here?]] I wondered if the website actually existed and wouldn't you know it did. Then, after watching every episode at least twice I looked on [http://Wikipedia.org wikipedia] and found HR Wiki thus bringing me here.

==Contributions==
You can see all my Contribs right [[Special:Contributions/Austio888888|<span style="color:red;">
'''HERE'''</span>]]

==My Odd Username==
I've had many other usernames on pretty much all cool websites some of those names are.
#Flamer8965 origin- [http://Neopets.com neopets] (3 years ago)
#Austio888888 origin- [http://Runescape.com runescape] (2 year ago)
#DarkcloudClock origin- [http://Newgrounds.com newgrounds] (2 year ago)
So if you see any of these names on any websites It's probably me.(note: I havn't been to neopets, runescape, or newgrounds since the beginning of July 206 except neopets that was at least 1 year before the other ones.)

==H*R Personality Test==
I took an H*R personality test and below are the results, but some of it's not true (example: I don't think everyone is "crap for brains"). I don't remember what website a got it from, but all you have to do is google '''Homestar Personality Test''' and you'll find plenty of tests.
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q123/Flamer8965/HRQuiz.jpg
==My Sbemail==
Check out the email I sent Strong Bad this week.

(I send a new one every Sunday)
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Pom Pom</div>
Dear Strong Bad,

What is the most advanced piece of technology Pom Pom has because I always see him with some kind of electronic device.

Crapfully Yours, Flamer8965
</blockquote>

==Stuff I Like Other Than H*R==
I like other things other than [[H*R]] and these things are...

Austio888888: updating

== Using Show Preview ==
Hello, and thanks for contributing to the HRWiki. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:01, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==

Heads up: when you welcome someone it's much more helpful if you link to all the pages you mention. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 05:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

== Adding a signature ==

Hey, and welcome again to the Homestar Runner Wiki! I noticed you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:ACupOfCoffee&curid=12076&diff=376352&oldid=376351&rcid=326710 sign a talk page], and I thought it might be helpful to mention that there's really cool shortcut for signing pages. If you want to sign your name with a timestamp (standard for most talk pages), just type four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. In some cases (like [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] voting) you may want to just sign your name without the timestamp. In this case, use three tildes: <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>. Again, welcome, and happy editing! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

== A couple things ==

Hey Flamer, I need to tell you a couple things. First, please don't leave messages like [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Mini-Trogdor&curid=10772&diff=376431&oldid=223139&rcid=326796 this] on people's talk pages. If people want to know how to make userboxes, they can ask, and leaving the same message on multiple users' talk pages is generally considered spam. Second, I see you've been signing as "Austio". Please note that [[HRWiki:Signature]] says you must sign with your username or something that suggests your username. If you want to be called "Austio", you can request a username change [[HRWiki:Changing username|here]]. Thank you. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Flamer8965: Your edit to [[Help:Editing]] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Help:Editing&curid=1178&diff=376520&oldid=359244 here] was defacement. Such unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you do it again, you will be blocked from editing. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

== Talk page ==

Your recent edit to [[User talk:DJ Solerus]] ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:DJ_Solerus&curid=17496&diff=376534&oldid=252650&rcid=326904]) was not necessary. For one, that user has been inactive for ten months. Additionally, talk pags are for wiki-related discussion, not for idle conversation. Try to keep your talk page edits more productive in the future. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

== Userpage edits ==

Flamer, I noticed on Recent Changes (the link's in the left column) that three-quarters of the edits made in the last hour are you tweaking your user page. I don't want to make you think your user page is unimportant. But this is a bit much.

I see someone has already informed you about Show Preview. You have been shown this, and choose not to use it. As a result, we get a "flood" of your edits in that list.

This wiki is primarily for documenting Homestar Runner, not meeting and greeting. I'd ask you to please begin utilizing the Show Preview function instead of constantly editing your User page, and to think about why you are here and how you can truly '''contribute''' to this wiki. Please think about this. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

==Sockpuppetry==

[[Image:Octagon-warning.png|left]] Flame8965, the IP address that you have been connected to whilst editing under "Flamer8965" is identical to the IP address that the user "Cheat Man" has been editing under. Subsequently, we are assuming that you are editing under both of these accounts; intentionally acting as two separate people. This is strictly against [[HRWiki:Blocking Policy#Disruption|policy]], and if you do not respond with an explanation as well as which account you will be editing under in the future, we can and will block both of these accounts from editing. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

:I'm sorry see my friend is a little kid so i made an account for him and it does look very similar and i'll change this as fast as possible. Flamer8965 02:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

:I just realized I can't do anything about [[user:Cheat Man|Cheat Man's]] acount accept not touching it so could you guys just cancel editing for [[user:Cheat Man|Cheat Man's]] acount and not [[user:Flamer8965|mine]].So if you can thanx Flamer8965 02:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please merge 'FLAMER CLICK HERE IF YOU DARE' to the inside of my border. - {{User:Flamer8965/sig-holiday}} 20:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

== Signature ==

Hey Flamer, I like your Decemberween-style icons in your signature. But they are a little too large, as signatures can't be higher than 20 pixels, according to the [[HRWiki:Signature|signature policy]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I hadn't noticed, I've switched it back to normal. - {{User:Flamer8965/sig}} 03:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== Question ===

Hey son. It just seems to me that you are a young Homestar fan. How long have you liked Homestar? --[[User:Theyellowdart|Theyellowdart]] 18:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC) P.S. You might want to think of better email ideas to send Strong Bad... and my advice to you is send them on a Friday or Saturday. Why? That's when TBC select an email.

== raised by a cup o' coffee ==

Do you like homsar?

==Welcome==
Hello I'm Austio888888 or just Austio for short. So check out my [[Userboxes]] to see more info on me. I've been here awhile and know a lot about [[Homestar Runner Wiki|H*R Wiki]]. So if you have any questions or just want to say something to me go [[User talk :Austio888888|here]].Also I love [[Strong Bad]] because of his hilarious attitude.

==How I Came To Love H*R==
I believe I came across homestarrunner.com when a young friend of mine came over with some funny dvds he called them. Those dvd's were [[Everything Else, Volume 1|Everything Else 1]] and [[strongbad email.exe|all four sbemail dvds]]. After watching [[First Time Here?]] I wondered if the website actually existed and wouldn't you know it did. Then, after watching every episode at least twice I looked on [http://Wikipedia.org wikipedia] and found HR Wiki thus bringing me here.

==Contributions==
You can see all my Contribs right [[Special:Contributions/Austio888888|<span style="color:red;">
'''HERE'''</span>]]

==My Odd Username==
I've had many other usernames on pretty much all cool websites some of those names are.
#Flamer8965 origin- [http://Neopets.com neopets] (3 years ago)
#Austio888888 origin- [http://Runescape.com runescape] (2 year ago)
#DarkcloudClock origin- [http://Newgrounds.com newgrounds] (2 year ago)
So if you see any of these names on any websites It's probably me.(note: I havn't been to neopets, runescape, or newgrounds since the beginning of July 206 except neopets that was at least 1 year before the other ones.)

==My Sbemail==
Check out the email I sent Strong Bad this week.

(I send a new one every Sunday)
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>Pom Pom</div>
Dear Strong Bad,

What is the most advanced piece of technology Pom Pom has because I always see him with some kind of electronic device.

Crapfully Yours, Flamer8965
</blockquote>

==H*R Personality Test==

Austio888888: /* Flamer8965 */

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.

==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''<small>(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)</small>''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request in the section below.
#If you are a sysop, please note this fact with your request so that the necessary changes can be made.
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#You should check that the old account has been recreated and blocked to prevent someone else creating the account and impersonating you.
#:''This cannot be done in the case of usernames with a lowercase first letter, but they can no longer be registered so this isn't a problem.''
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

Austio888888: /* Fun Facts */ first goof

{{mainnav|14|13|15}}
[[Image:Main14.PNG|220px|thumb|Oh, the indecency.]]

Homestar is in the shower. There is a continual dripping sound from the showerhead.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}

'''Places:''' [[Homestar's House]]

'''Icon:''' Bar of soap

'''Page title:''' "Nakers!!!"

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — His bathing cap puffs up.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — The shower turns on.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — The shower turns on again, but weaker than before.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — Homestar pulls the curtain shut.
*'''[[Store]]''' — The shower comes on again, and fills the screen with steam. The word "[[LEMKE]]" is traced in the condensation that builds up on the screen.
*'''[[Email]]'''— Homestar's towel comes off. [[Naked Homestar|Pixelation]]!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Remarks ===
[[Image:Secret Clock.PNG|thumb|Hidden clock]]
*This and [[Main Page 10]] are the only pages that have a continual noise played.
*If you use a Flash seek bar, you can see hidden text reading "its 5:43" appear on screen starting at frame 23. This text remains the same no matter what the time on your computer's clock is.
**Similarly, viewing the Flash file directly will reveal a green LCD-style readout of the current time on your computer's clock (in [[Wikipedia:24-hour clock|24-hour notation]]), just off the left side of the screen.

=== Goofs ===
*When Homestar's towel comes off the lower right part of his head is outside of his outline.

=== Real-World References ===
*The Corn Cob shower curtain may be a reference to the kitchen curtains in [[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]].

So if you see any of these names on any websites It's probably me.(note: I havn't been to neopets, runescape, or newgrounds since the beginning of July 206 except neopets that was at least 1 year before the other ones.)

Talk:Teen Girl Squad Issue 10

Austio888888 — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 23:46:41 GMT

Austio888888: /* Scooby Doo reference... */ STUFF?

{{featuredarticle}}
==TGS Issue Picture==
Which picture should we use? [[Image:Mightywarrior.PNG|thumb|"Mightywarrior.PNG"]][[Image:TeenGirlSquad10.PNG|thumb|"TeenGirlSquad10.PNG"]]

Number one (the warrior) id say. its somthing difffernt
:The lower one definitely. It shows the theme of the episode better. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Stan! ==

In the hidden easter egg where The ugly one's dad is advertising, the way he is waving his arms around is a striking resemblence to Stan from the Monkey Island Games. Would this be a fun fact?

Easter Egg? If this exists why isn't it listed? --[[User:Mrdude|jake]] 15:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

It is. - Sahm
:Yup. It was listed sometime between 3:37 pm Oct. 10 and now, though, which explains the question. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

== New Software ==

I think the reason for the new animation is TBC got some new animation software and they wanted to test it out. [[User:DaChazman|DaChazman]]

It's all done with Flash. If it were done with Flash 8 (the new one) we'd know. [[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 16:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Besides, with simple characters like that, you can do that with a few masks and shape tweens. {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 21:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I know there's some software that can export 3D animation to flash. It's called [http://www.erain.com Swift 3D]. However, I dont know if TBC are using it. -[[User:Jesselangham|Jesselangham]]

:They're not. There's nothing fancy with the rotation that they haven't done before, eg in [[funny]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:51, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, good point. That software is expensive anyway. Too expensive for a 1 second rotation. -[[User:Jesselangham|Jesselangham]]

== 3-D? I don't even know what that is! ==

I move that all instances of the word 3-D be replaced with the word 3D. Who's with me, eh? [[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 16:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Can somebody who knows something about 3D software confirm that the "We got a spinner" gag is a reference to the bizarre glitches that such software sometimes create (elements moving by themselves in weird ways)? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:I found it to be a reference to CGI animation glitches like the ones shown under special features of Pixar movies.---[[User:RatherAnnoying|RatherAnnoying]] 19:29, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I was thinking of; like the monster's hair in Monsters Inc. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

: You're wrong, BTW. [[Wikipedia:3D|3D]] is an auto-redirect to [[Wikipedia:3-D|3-D]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:50, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

:And m-w.com doesn't recognize [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=3d&book=Dictionary 3D], only 3-D. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 01:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

==Inside references==
In the party sequence, I know all the TGS inside references are listed in the cast of characters at the beginning, but is there any other appropriate way to mention it elsewhere? Say, an inside reference that simply says "See the Cast of Characters?" Also, can someone confirm my suspicion that this contains ''every'' TGS character seen to date (even a reference to Brett!), and that it's the first TGS to include a shot of the "real world," or of regular H*R characters other than Strong Bad? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:I'm not sure about your first question, but I can answer your second and third ones:
*2: No, it does not contain every TGS character to date. For example, the Floor Tom and the Vulture/Bat don't appear. See the Minor TGS Characters page for a bunch of characters that fail to appear.
*3: Yes and no. It is the first episode to show the "real world", but [[Pom Pom]] appears in episode #8.
:Hope that helps. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::This ''is'', however, the first TGS to show any character--including Strong Bad--outside of the comic's world. Pom Pom in issue 8 was still a drawing, as was Strong Bad's cameo appearances in issues 1, 8, and 9. This is the first time a TGS episode has had not-drawings in it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Actually, Strong Bad Email #53, "comic" also features TGS and "not-drawings" together. Which is the "official" TGS #1, anyway?
:::The Vultures do appear. See the bottom left corner of the scene where Manolios is introducing The Ugly One. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 19:55, 10 October 2005 (BST)
::::Sorry, I meant the Vulture from issue #2. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:58, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Vowels ==
Vowels are A-E-I-O-U "Y" is not a vowel :p
:Sometimes it is. It's being used as a vowel in this case. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::From the Wikipedia: "In the standard English language, the letter [[Wikipedia:Y|Y]] is traditionally regarded as a consonant, but as a survey of almost any English text, including this one, will show, Y more commonly functions as a vowel." So our anonymous friend is right. Y is not a vowel. And sign your posts.{{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

::Also from Wikipedia: The name "vowel" is often used for the symbols used for representing vowel sounds in a language's writing system, particularly if the language uses an alphabet. In the Latin alphabet, the vowel letters are usually A, E, I, O, U, and in some languages Y, as in English. -- [[User:Mycroft.holmes|Mycroft.holmes]] 19:50, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh yeah, because an entirely user-edited encyclopaedia can NEVER contradict itself. Why don't we go with the majority and accept that Y is NOT a vowel?
::::[http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefEdList.aspx?refid=210026329 Encarta] seems to agree as well. After all, the way most schools teach vowels is A-E-I-O-U and SOMETIMES Y. In "sorry," Y is a vowel, as it is nearly impossible to construct a meaningful syllable without a vowel. Does "syzygy" also have no vowels in it? No. ... Okay, I rambled. Sorry. But Y is a vowel in this case. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 20:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:::: Because it is. The word "vowel" denotes how the letter is used, not what the letter is. As it happens, Y isn't the only "consonant" that can be used as a vowel (W is common, and G and H show up often too.) It's just that the five letters most commonly called "vowels" are the ones NEVER used as consonants. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

"Vowel" and "consonant" are phonetic distinctions, not letter distinctions. "We're sorry" is pronounced ([[Wikipedia:IPA chart for English|IPA]]) /wi:r sɒˈri:/ - both /i/s and the /ɒ/ are the vowels. It is simply that the large majority of vowel sounds are represented in English with A-E-I-O-U which is why they're called the 5 vowels. So we then have 2 definitions of "vowel" - a vowel ''phoneme'' (which is relevant for the "there's at least one vowel in every syllable" rule) or a vowel ''letter'' (strictly A-E-I-O-U, possibly Y depending on who you ask). The confusion only comes when you get the two confused - for example a syllable does not require A-E-I-O-U(-Y), just a vowel phoneme. Getting back to the point, it's impossible to pronounce words completely without vowel phonemes, /ə/ slips in everywhere (/wər sər/ is as far as you can take "we're sorry"). "Removing all the vowels" only makes sense from a vowel letter view, in which case Y only applies if whoever it is wants it to. And now I'm rambling a bit, so I'll stop. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

You know... even after all this controversy, it doesn't make a good Fun Fact, since she never mentions taking ALL the vowels out. She says "taking ''the'' vowels out," which, yes, implies ''all'' the vowels, but doesn't say it emphatically. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 07:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'm confused. Have we reached a conensus yet? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 11:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

This is a horrible fun fact. Regardless of whether or not Y is a vowel... the scene is meant to be a pun on internet slang (in AIM saying sry instead of sorry). If they said "'m Srr" it wouldn't be nearly as catchy or funny. I fail to see how this is of interest to anyone. -[[User:DMurphy|DMurphy]] 02:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
* As I pointed out on STUFF, that doesn't even begin to explain "prty," which was said before "srry". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:00, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

The slang term for sorry on the internet IS NOT srr it's Srry. As DMurphy said, it's not about the vowels. I say get rid of the thing.

This fun fact has been STUFF'd. [[Template:STUFF/Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|The TGS10 STUFF Page]] -[[User:DMurphy|DMurphy]] 22:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

==The other side of the paper==
When the paper saying "Its over" in on screen, you can see the other side of the paper, which is the image of Strong Bad making out with the Ugly One. I dont know if you can see it on a regular screen, but I can only see it on my Laptop, if I makes the screen darker. - Lord-Z
: I see it too. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, and this has already been noted in the transcript. It's been covered just for you ;){{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 21:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== References ==
When the Ugly One's father presents her to the party, I am pretty sure that that is a reference to the MTV show, My Super Sweet Sixteen. Am I correct? --[[User:ItalianBallerina|ItalianBallerina]]

No, this is just a common practice at sweet sixteens. —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 20:50, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm thinking the whole transformation of The Ugly One is a reference to the movie She's All That, in which Rachel Leigh Cook's character goes through the same kind of transformation. --[[User:P0wned|p0wned]]

:Or is it to Miss Congeniality? Or... what's that other one where an overlooked girl comes out of her shell—oh yeah, Cinderella! Fact is, the ugly duckling plot line has been around since, well, The Ugly Duckling. Probably before. It's a reference, not to any of the movies or stories that use it, but to that plot line. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

:: I'm not even sure that the word "reference" works there; it's just a similar story line. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:30, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, "I" think it is an insult to Hilary Duff. They're making fun of her by portraying The Ugly One as the superstar hotness(Transformation?) and her making out with Strong Bad is what the Brothers Chaps want Hilary Duff to do with Strong Bad. RHRN the Jigglypuff.

:RHRN, will you quit saying that everything is a reference/insult to Hilary Duff? - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::Don't worry, Kookykman. RHRN ''has'' stopped. Blocked indefinitely for insulting comments, removing others' remarks, personal attacks, editing others' userpages, and sending a load of derogatory mail to Tom. We need not worry about that one anymore. Also, it was quite a while ago. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Breakin? ==
When Strong Bad says "Arrow'd II: Electric- wait a minute!", it seems to be a reference to "Breakin II: Electric Boogaloo", a movie which has been mentioned on the site before. [[User:TheSyndicate88|TheSyndicate88]]
:Check the fun facts, dude. It's already in there. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

== Olympic Coach's Voice? ==

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Olympic coach is the only TGS character not voiced by Strong Bad. If so, do you think that's a worthy fun fact? [[User:SA2Tails|SA2Tails]] 21:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:What about Mr. Pitters?

:Also the vultures as they are eating Mr. Pitters do not have a Strong Bad-type voice. Maybe Fatty's Big Chance as well. The voice is grainy and rough, but not as much as the other characters. --[[User:Gillan The Villain|Gillan The Villain]] 22:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:The Scottsmen don't really sound like strong bad.- [[User:Jhonka|Jhonka]]

==Has 3D Been Used Before?==
I think 3D was used before. On [[The Luau]], the tofu seems to be spinning in 3D. -[[User:Lotionman|Lotionman]] 23:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)Lotionman
:I think what has everybody so excited is that in this one the ''camera'' moved in 3D. Though I'm not sure it took anything more than plain ol' Flash to do that. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:Don't forget the opening to [[The Interview]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
:True, but the animation here seems a lot smoother than that, with the spinning camera sequence, What's-her-face spinning and Strong Bad's movements at the end of the toon.
::Only because the framerate is higher. Flash's default framerate is 12fps - which is about the lower limit for most people being able to distinguish animations from a series of pictures. TGS10 is 20fps - so a lot of the animations are smoother. I've looked with the decompiler - just trust me when I say that What's Her Face spinning is done exactly the same way that they do Strong Bad's head turning to look from side to side. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Pictures from the Party ==

I made an image of the pan across the party, showing the minor characters appearing in attendance. It'd make a nice picture for somewhere, I think. (I had the idea of making it just a link, not an actual picture, and putting it in the issue 10 article somewhere. [[Duck Guardian One]] has an example of this in the Trivia section.) One thing though: the picture is roughly four or five times bigger in file size than what's normally recommended to upload. So I thought I'd tell people before acting, just in case. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Pwn ==
Is pwn a reference to [http://www.purepwnage.com/ Pure Pwnage]? Because thats basically the only other place I've heard it. - [[User:Faro1|Faro1]]
:It's vice versa - Pure Pwnage is a referance to the word pwn. Look at the [[Wikipedia:Pwn|wikipedia link]] from the article. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:31, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad they made fun of that term. Can't we just correct the typo and call it "ownage?" -[[User:Jesselangham|Jesselangham]]
:Its not a typo. It's [[Wikipedia:Leet|l33t-sp34k]]. -[[User:B|B]] 06:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
::It's not consistent in the transcript, though. In one place, the leet-speak is verbalized, with the pronounciation in italics, and in the other place the leetspeak's in italics with the pronounciation verbalized. Should it probably be one way or the other for both (either both having leet-speak in italics, or having the pronounciations in italics)? [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 13:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

== Goof or Remark ==
[[Image:Babydaddy.PNG|100px|thumb]]
<div style="border:1px #CCC solid;padding:3px;background:#fafafa;">''In the rotational scene, Cheerleader's ''baby daddy'' seems to come out of her dress.''</div>

:I think this inconsistancy was a mistake made by the Brothers Chaps, therefore a goof. However, It's dot com insists otherwise, rendering it a Remark. What is it? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
*<s>'''Remark.'''</s> I'm not saying they did it ''on purpose'' per se. I ''am'' saying that because this sequence is the first of its kind on the site, they would have paid it extra special attention. Therefore, TBC would have realized the type is doing what it does. Maybe they actually did do it intentionally. Maybe they saw how it turned out and liked what they got. Or maybe there was some technical limitation that made it like it is. It doesn't really matter, because the point is that they didn't ''mistakingly'' do it the way they did. I mean, let's give them a ''little'' credit. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:Mycroft.holmes|Mycroft.holmes]] 21:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I don't know how this could happen to make it a goof. There's no way they would have programmed the words to ''not'' be on the shirt and not have noticed. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 22:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
*<s>'''Goof.''' Now I don't know for sure if it'd be easy to fix or not, but it seems to me they could have just omitted the "ba" and "da" to get a favorable result. If they noticed it, they probably figured it was just one frame and not worth fixing. But that doesn't change the fact that it is still a goof - missed or seen and ignored. This seems to be just as much of a goof as all the other ones written down there. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}</s>
*'''Goof.''' When I posted it, I put it on goofs. I'm with Joshua on this one. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
*'''Goof.''' --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:34, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
*'''Goof.''' Paying attention or not, the writing is off the shirt. That says ''goof'' to me. We don't know their intentions. -[[User:B|B]] 21:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
**The fact that we don't know their intentions is a prime reason for it to be a remark. I'd rather err on the side of TBC here. Calling it a remark when it was a goof doesn't make it less true, and leaves it open to interpretation. Calling it a goof when it really wasn't stigmatizes it unnecessarily. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
*Just because they don't bother to fix it doesn't mean it's not a goof. If we followed your standards, then we'd have to move a lot, maybe almost all, of the goofs to remarks. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 21:44, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
**Not at all. I'm trying to emphasize that they would not have been careless here, since the effect is new and unique. I believe they have both of these things here exactly how they want them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
* <s>'''Remark.''' After going through it frame by frame, I discovered that Cheerleader's text is floating off the ENTIRE thing, all three times, rather than the single frame that I thought before. So now I think TBC did it to make the overall thing look better when moving quickly, to make the 3D stand out more. But it still deserves mention. And a better picture. (It's hard to see what's what in the currect pic.) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)</s>
* [[Image:sbfacemask.png|thumb|right|Strong Bad's head, with and without masking]] '''Glitch''' - some explination of how TBC make things rotate is in order. Making a realistic rotation would be very time consuming, and you'd need to draw almost every frame to get it to look smooth. However, TBC take a shortcut - almost everything they make that rotates is just a plain sphere with a thing added on it, eg Strong Bad's face or his shoelace thingy - apart from that his head is perfectly round - so when they rotate his head left and right only the face and shoelace have to move, the actual head can stay still. Now for the second shortcut - when his face moves around his head, they don't actually do anything fancy to make it go "around" - they just move it straight from left to right, no distortion, no parallax, nothing. Then they take a mask the shape of SB's head and use it to crop the face to the head. The result - it looks like the face is going around the head. Look at the picture on the right if you're not sure what I mean. If the effect isn't strong enough they add things like skews to make it more real, but for the most part they don't need to. Now we come to Cheerleader's shirt. They did the same thing they always do. They animated everyone's faces and the writing on Cheerleader's dress as moving across them from side to side. Then they added a mask to their faces, but forgot to add a mask to Cheerleader's dress. Hence it is a glitch, I see no reason for them to do this intentionally, and a perfectly good reason for them to do it accidentally. As for Goof vs Glitch, I thought Goofs were things like plot holes, mistakes in the design of the toon, and Glitches were mistakes in the actual building of the toon in Flash, like this. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:'''Thank you''', Phlip. For one thing, I had been wondering about the seemingly indiscriminate and interchangeable use of "Goof" and "Glitch." Seems to me a lot of Goofs around here need moving... Also, thanks for finally providing some insight on the way the Flash stuff worked. I agree it's a Flash-generated glitch, but for the record I'm not ''necessarily'' saying they didn't notice it and think it was cool. I think it's kinda cool myself.

<br><div style="border:1px #CCC solid;padding:3px;background:#fafafa;">''When Strong Bad rewinds the 3-D spin around, the "SO GOOD!" speech bubble disappears.''</div>

:Same deal here as above. The bubble was there, then it wasn't. All that happened was a rewind and replay. OOPS. Seems pretty clear, and the note is still there. -[[User:B|B]] 21:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

*<s>'''Remark.'''</s> I really can't imagine how this could be accidental. I just don't see TBC watching this toon later and slapping their heads: "We forgot to keep the speech bubble there!" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I know ''I'' wouldn't want to deal with animating a speech bubble if I had a Monday deadline. I don't know how a rotating speech bubble would work realistically, so I think they probably took it out so people wouldn't look at it and say "wow, that just doesn't look good" if they got it wrong. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 22:38, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
***Look closely - they already did a rotating speach bubble the first time they spin around - it's just not there when they spin the second time... <s>So, '''Glitch'''</s>. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
*'''Goof.''' But this differs from the above. Although I doubt TBC did this without noticing, it is an "inconsistancy," which officially makes a [[HRWiki:Standards#Goofs|goof]]. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} (You know, we really are fighting over nothing. :P)

The wording of the Standard you linked is: "...if things mysteriously vanish or appear (and it's not obviously intentional...)." Personally I have a problem with that wording; I would move it be changed to "obviously ''not'' intentional." Little change, big difference. First of all, let's all notice that they ''did'' animate the rotating speech bubble on the first rotation, okay? Then it disappears because they're done talking. Now if it was in fact an omission, it was a pretty big honkin' one; it's not like the [[A Folky Tale#Goofs|grass around Strong Sad]]; it's a huge... well, thing. My personal opinion is that they left it off the second time because this rotation is essentially a ''visual'' effect, and they didn't want it to get in the way of the effect. If it was in fact an omission, it would have to be a last-minute, bleary-eyed, semi-conscious one (which doesn't fit the quality of the rest of the 'toon). I'm staying non-commital as usual, but I find the arguments for not even mentioning this one pretty strong. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
: "Not obviously intentional" conveys the meaning I intended when I wrote that better than "Obviously not intentional." For instance, with the "baby daddy" thing, it's not obviously not intentional, but it's not obviously intentional either. (If you can parse that.) However, the disagreement here is on just what IS obvious in this case. This much is obvious: they didn't just reverse and repeat the scene, since the speech bubble is missing. Maybe they just felt like drawing it twice, maybe the second time was an earlier version, or maybe it was intentional. And, at any rate, I'm not willing to call it a "Goof," because it's really not needed (speech bubbles are not physical objects in the real world, so its non-inclusion doesn't really affect what's happening in the scene at all.) So '''remark.''' --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
::I agree with what Jay is saying and I maintain that it is a remark. On the other hand, it is pretty obvious by just watching the toon, so like AbdiViklas hinted, perhaps '''it should just go unmentioned.''' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:29, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I'm clean with leaving it out, but we should note for this discussion that, even though this is a ''visual'' effect, the sound remains, indicating a simple re-wind. The omission is indeed obvious, so leave it out. -[[User:B|B]] 06:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The more I think about this the more it seems the must have tried just reversing the whole scene, speech bubble inclusive, and realised it didn't look very good (I mean, the speech bubble disappeared when they finished talking and String Bad started talking, and it would look weird for it to return), so they removed it. So I'm changing my vote to '''either put it in the transcript or leave it out entirely, probably the latter'''. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:22, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

== Making out ==

Is this the first time we've ever seen Strong Bad actually make out with something? I mean, he's always gone on about it. If it really is the first time I think it's worthy of a mention in the article somehow.
:It think this is the first time we've seen him... kissing. I think it's noteworthy. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:23, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
i thought that was discusting....i had too close down the window and turn the
volume all the way down!-[[User:Timmy!]]

its also the first time we have seen strong bad eating a girl, atleast the paper 1 is drawn on, tbc have been getting a LITTLE r rated with that!@!
and actually if you count fan hallloweeen costumes we did see "strong bad" making out with a girl before
:And if we put in that Strong Bad ate a girl, people are going to jump to the wrong idea.

1: He wasn't eating the girl, he was trying to make out with the girl on the piece of paper, not eat her. 2: How is making out "R-rated"? [[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]] 21:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

It's certainly not R-rated or 99% of the films ever made would be R-rated! However it certainly is a move to ever so slightly more "adult" material which along with the "teen pregnant" line in Commandos in the Classroom probably constitues a change in TBC's writing style, probably in recognition of the fact that there's no question of their writing for kids anymore. [[User:131.111.250.142|131.111.250.142]] 22:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

People, he is making out with paper. I think that we are being critical saying that the TBC is moving toward an R rated site. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:24, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

:I agree with Rogue Leader here. TBC are using humor, as they always do. Making out with/eating paper was intended to be funny, and nothing about it that I can notice is R rated. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 03:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::If there was nudity (which, this site being family-friendly, there is not any), ''then'' it would be <span style="font-family: 'times new roman';">'''R'''</span>-rated. This does not even come ''close'' to being R-rated! {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 03:58, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, for God's sake. He's KISSING a girl. Not even a real girl! Can you imagine the devestating effect on little kids if they see that?!! Or even on us! Most of the Wiki are in their teens, so we all understand what sex is and in some cases, what it's like, and a lot of kids our age are constantly talking and joking about it at school, and yet we all complain about REAL tiny things, and run out the room screaming for mommy when Strong Bad says "make out". Jeez, guys. This is why I don't visit the Wiki much anymore. The people on the Weebl and Bob forums aren't like this. [[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

:That's a generalization, and it's not valid. Besides, who are you people arguing with? Everyone after the initial "R-rated" suggestion is saying the same thing: namely, that the suggestion was wrong. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The eating a girl was obviously a joke since he popped the paper into his mouth with a picture of a girl on it, and by the way, lets not forget there is plenty of nudity, lets not forget the shower main page, homestar's butt dance, the alien dude in the shower in that 1 flash with coach with a bare butt(ugh, you made me member that ass)

It's not exactly Strong Bad making out with modestly hot The Ugly One, remember. It's extremely buffed animated Strong Bad. Sure, it's the first instance of him making out with ''something'' (the piece of paper). But I think that the first instance of him making out with a real character or something would be more notable. Teen Girl Squad isn't real, since it is drawn and usually voiced completely by Strong Bad. He was making out with the paper to make his scene more "realistic." [[User: Teh_Frossty_One]]

== Accents ==

Possible goof - when one of the three scotsmen speaks (to say 'BAGH! Only 23 metres!), he's speaking with an irish accent.

What? I think that it's Scottish. Plus, corn is no place for a mighty warrior! --{{User:The 386/sig}} 23:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:People do that often (try to do a Scottish accent and wind up Irish). What we hear here is only a rough approximation hinting at a vaguely British-Isles accent. But please see the definition of [[HRWiki:Standards#Goofs|a goof]] (also linked just a little way up the page). A goof is not when TBC fail to meet our expectations; it's when they fail to meet ''theirs''. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:56, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

: What does Hillary Duff have to do with ANY of this? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:23, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hmm... she made a song called Sweet Sixteen describing EVERY DETAIL about being sixteen years old. The Brothers Chaps were likely to have collected the detail and reverse it for the effect of Sweet Someteen...and Jay is...ARROWED!!! RHRN the Jigglypuff
: "Sweet sixteen" is a common phrase; in fact, there is a song called "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" that was written before Ms. Duff was even born. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

:And easy on the personal comments. If Miss Duff herself reported being offended by it, that would be fairly noteworthy; if TBC said in a commentary or interview they had her in mind it would be a solid connection—but if "Sweet Sixteen" is the only connection, there isn't much to go on. (And frankly, I doubt TBC would go out of their way to insult her; their references tend to be reserved for pre-1995 cultural phenomena, and are seldom truly ''insulting''.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
My personal comments can only be commented by [[User:Tom]]! TBC might've accidentally gotten the info from Hilary Duff. I'm not a doofus. By the way...Yami Yugi was AFTER 1995,scalawag! They had a reference to a deserted island which was 1997! RHRN the Jigglypuff
:Right. ''Tend''. By personal comments, I meant "arrowing" Jay. (Who's Tom?) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Tom is the creator of this Wikipedia! He is Exodia the Forbidden One incarnate! RHRN

:I'm not sure how else to say that I find it very unlikely. Unless whatever you mentioned about Billy Idol on Wikipedia (which as Venusy was saying, is a different website; we use the same software, but aren't really affiliated) has more proof, then I really don't think there's anything to be indignant about.

Hilary Duff DID NOT invent the term sweet sixteen! It was around before she was born! There is absolutely no reason to believe that "Sweet Someteen" is a reference to the song. -[[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]]

:Exhibit A: I think we've covered the topic pretty thoroughly. Further discussion isn't really needed. RHRN: These Talk pages are for serious discussion of proposed changes to the wiki.

Why don't we let Exhibit B take care of this! Sweet Sometten is possibly a reference to Hilary Duff and I won't give up until we defend her honour surely! RHRN the Jiugglypuff

:You're never required to "give up," RHRN. I can think of at least one sysop who was unhappy with a fact that was voted into existence; it's his right to still disagree with it.

Gee...I summon Exhibit B in Attack Mode. It can't attack until I find out about the Sweet Someteen insult to Hilary Duff, even if it wasn't done on purpose. Unleash the proof! RHRN the Jigglypuff

:I still don't understand why it's an insult. A reference possibly, although at a severe stretch. It still stands that the phrase "Sweet Sixteen" was around long before Hillary Duff, and facts with features like this normally get voted down unanimously on [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:30, 16 October 2005 (BST)

Exhibit B shall be equipped with Gravity Axe-Grarl! Give me more information, or I shall attack your Life Points directly! RHRN the Jigglypuff

:RHRN, please stick to serious discussion or move the discussion to the forum. And the burden of proof is on you; I suggest you either provide a link to the Wikipedia article you mentioned or some other supporting material, or end this discussion. Also, by the way: unless 1) Hillary Duff was actually offended, or 2) TBC meant to reference her, then the only person actually offended was ''you''. An unintended "insult" that Hillary Duff either never heard about or wasn't hurt by, therefore, is... well, nothing. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

A few things: first, could you rationally explain why you assume that "Sweet Someteen" a reference to the Hilary Duff song, let alone an insult?

: I don't think so. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that it's at least not an "Uh..." coming from Strong Sad. Listen to it a couple of times, it might get to you. Or not. -[[User:Kiyobi|Kiyobi]] 02:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:I already did. It doesn't sound a thing like "Bad". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Really? Well, nobody's perfect, I guess. I still think he's saying "Bad?" -[[User:Kiyobi|Kiyobi]] 06:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I'm Nobody. And I'm pretty sure they aren't using the consonants necessary to form the words "Strong" or "Bad". Nobody, aka {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

== Increased workload ==

In the DVD commentary, the brothers mention that this episode took roughly 80% longer to animate than the others due to the higher framerate (20 fps instead of the normal 12 fps). But, all things being equal, and extra 8 fps would amount to only about a 67% increase in work. (e.g., A cartoon that takes 60 minutes to make at 12 fps would take 100 minutes at 20 fps.) Maybe the extra 13% of the time went to colorization. <small>''(The preceding comment was originally posted as a fun fact by {{user|66.220.96.135}}.)''</small>

== Mighty Warrior ==

I don't get the mighty warrior... and I can't find out what it means? What's the meaning or the joke there?
: TGS is quite random; probably not a reference. [[User:Blendage|Blendage]] 16:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

== Or something like that ==

In the manoleo easter egg at the end, Manoleo talks alot like Strong Bad does when he's doing an e-mail, at least as far as interjecting "or something like that" as I recall Strong Bad occasionally doing. Maybe this could be a Remark?

(Side note: grrr the HRWiki CAPCHA sucks)
--[[User:64.195.243.2|64.195.243.2]] 06:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

:Well, Strong Bad is doing the voice, so it's really not remarkable that it sounds like him. (Side note: mass vandalism sucks worse.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

== Scooby Doo reference... ==

I tried putting this under "Real World References" a couple times, and it was deleted... I don't know why, because it's obvious! The Ugly One's "new look" is exactly like Velma's new look in "Scooby Doo 2". Same hair, same outfit.
:Right, and it's not even a ''little'' bit like ''She's All That'' (see also above). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

What're you talking about? Velma wore a sweater and a seperate skirt: at her sweet someteen birthday bash, The Ugly One wore a one piece party dress. Velma wore plain plastic rimmed glasses: The Ugly One wore thin horn-rimmed. Velma had what looked like bowl haircut, while The Ugly One had straight shoulder-length hair. Where can I get the stuff you're smoking?--[[User:Saxonjf|Saxon the Deutschmaster]] 05:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC) 
:I think he's referring to something with the live-action movies. Specifically, the second one. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::A few images of the new hot Velma: (It doesn't show, but I think I remember her wearing pants in the film)
::http://www.nonsporttradingcards.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/SD2-PW12.gif http://www.themoviemark.com/images/scooby_velma.gif
::And of The Hotgly One:
::[[Image:Modestly hot the ugly one.png|300px]]
::Also note: Red leather is considered sexy and was worn by name other people in order to look hot. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:09, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
::I don't know much about STUFF, but can I STUFF this or not? - {{User:Flamer8965/sig}} 23:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

== Get in on like Diddy Kong ==

I keep getting the feeling that the line is a play on the line "Get it on like Donkey Kong" from the country song Honky Tonk Ba Donk-A-Donk. Which, mind you, I hate if only for the fact that the song was terrible AND I can't get the horrid tune or lyrics out of my head, BUT! I thought it would be of interest to point it out. *shrug* Possible Real-World reference?
: It's been said outside of that song before. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
::Where? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Welcoming committee

Austio888888 — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 05:51:14 GMT

Austio888888: /* Members */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Standards for Welcoming ==

A good welcome message should be around the lines of this [[Template:welcome|template]]:

{{welcome|(your signature)|(timestamp)}}

----

To use the template, type "<code><nowiki>{{subst:welcome|~~~|~~~~~}}</nowiki></code>", which will automatically include your signature and a timestamp. (Typing <tt>subst</tt> before the name of the template tells the system to copy a static version of the template to the page.)

----

Be as kind and welcoming as possible and answer any questions they might have.

When creating your own personal template, you don't have to follow the original layout exactly. You can rearrange it and reword it, but please include the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide], [[HRWiki:Standards]], [[HRWiki:FAQ]] and [[Help:Editing]] pages within the text. Like the general welcome template, be sure to use the <code>subst:</code> command to substitute, rather than link, your template on a user's talk page.

==Transcript==

''{A "SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as we zoom in on it. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{Music plays in the background. A calendar appears for the month of December, with most of the days crossed out in red X's. December 21st and 22nd (Friday and Saturday) become crossed out, then the camera zooms in on Sunday the 23rd. A title appears: "A new Homestar cartoon written and animated by the Brethren Chaps." This title is crossed out with a red X, and the camera pans to Monday the 24th. Another title appears: "Voices by Matt C. and Missy P." This title is then crossed out, and the camera pans to Tuesday the 25th, which is already labeled "Decemberween". This day is circled in red, and additional words appear, making the title read: "The Best Decemberween Ever". Fade out.}''

''{Fade outside, next to Homestar's house, where it is snowing. The background music continues to play. Homestar walks out of his house wearing a brown hunter's hat. He walks a short distance and behind a brick wall, stopping next to Strong Sad, who is leaning on the wall. The music slowly fades out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sighs twice, with his breath visible. A long pause, and then he sighs again.}''

''' STRONG SAD:''' What's the matter, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Surprised}'' Oh! Strong Sad! I can't decide what to get Strong Bad for Decemberween.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... What do you mean?

''{Cut to a wide shot with Homestar and Strong Sad silhouetted.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I know he's kind of a jerk sometimes, and he says "holy crap" a lot, but I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? People get presents for Decemberween? I always just get locked in the bathtub!

''{Cut to the original shot of both characters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Right. Uh... I gotta go. ''{Homestar dashes off, temporarily leaving a cloud shaped like himself behind.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z and Homestar walking in front of some trees. The trees have signs on them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, Homestar, I'll tell ya. Buying a Decemberween present for Strong Bad is like a great sports play.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me guess. I can't just rush into the score zone.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{stops and turns around}'' Hey, that's right!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{frustrated}'' Coach! That's your answer for everything!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. ''{pauses, then holds up a bottle of blue mouthwash}'' Mouthwarsh? ''{begins gulping mouthwash down}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Marzipan in her house. Marzipan is wearing a green dress instead of her normal purple dress, and she is drawing protest signs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and then he said it was like a great sports play. And I didn't even think that applies to this situation.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's great, Homestar. ''{starts writing on a blank sign: "DEC"}'' Why don't you just get him a shirt? He doesn't seem to have very many of those.

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm pretty sure he enjoys going topless.

''{The camera zooms back out.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you could get him a sponge, or a Jew's harp, or you could make some him some Chex party mix... ''{by now, she has written "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, those are terrible ideas.

''{Zoom in to Homestar's face again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Like, I don't even want to see what you got me this year. ''{chuckles}''

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{turning to Homestar angrily}'' Why don't you go bother somebody else?!

''{She drops her completed sign. Cut back to the original shot of Homestar and Marzipan. The new sign reads: "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now that's a good idea!

''{The background music starts up again. Cut to a silhouette of Homestar walking among some trees, which sway back and forth in the wind. Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, which has lights and holiday decorations all over it. Homestar walks up.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, Homestar, what can I do for you on this fine holiday?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't find a freakin' present for Strong Bad.

'''BUBS:''' Well, you know what Coach Z says...

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed, and leaning back}'' Yes, I know! I know!

''{Zoom back out.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, well, take a look around. I got all types of crazy crap!

''{Zoom in on Homestar again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a NES cartridge: ''Tag Team Wrestling''}'' No... ''{tosses it away, holds up a pair of gold, sparkling oven mitts with "SB" written in cursive letters}'' No... ''{tosses the gloves away, pulls out a Strong Sad voodoo doll with pins sticking out of it}'' Uh, are you allowed to sell this? ''{tosses the doll away, holds up a "Frampton Comes Alive" poster with an autograph addressed to Strong Bad}'' No...

''{Cut to a silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand as seen from the side. The items Homestar discarded are lying in a pile behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a rectangular object}'' That's it! This is the perfect present!

''{Cut to a field with snow-covered trees in the background. The camera pans right to show several of the characters opening or exchanging gifts. Strong Mad and The Cheat are the first to appear. The Cheat opens a gift and his head explodes. Marzipan pans into the shot, followed by Coach Z in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opens her gift, a Coach Z scratch n' sniff 2002 calendar}'' Coach Z, this is nasty.

'''COACH Z:''' That's okay. Smell Orctober!

''{Camera continues panning, revealing Strong Bad and Pom Pom, and Homestar standing in the foreground. Strong Bad is wearing yellow earmuffs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up his gift and shakes it}'' Okay, let's see what we got from Homestar here...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Open it! Open it! That one's from me. It took me forever to pick it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opens his gift, which turns out to be a ''[[imdb:tt0120647|Deep Impact]]'' DVD}'' What?! The ''Deep Impact'' DVD?! You got me this for like the last three years, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! And you liked it so much, I decided to get it for you again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! This is the worst Decemberween ever!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{after Strong Bad says "This is"}'' This is the best Decemberween ever!

''{Cut to black, then fade back in to the field. All of the main characters except Strong Sad and Homsar are gathered together. During each chorus, everyone sings except The Poopsmith and Pom Pom. The Cheat squeaks along with the music, and Coach Z pronounces Decemberween as "Decemberwern".}''

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{Singing to the tune of [[Wikipedia:O Tannenbaum|"O Christmas Tree"]]}'' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween.

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' With bunnies running for their lives,

''{Pan left to The King of Town}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{holding up a bunny on a plate}'' I wish this one was super-sized!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to Strong Sad entering from the right}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-key, a wavering third below}'' What are you guys talking about?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{moves in front of Strong Sad}'' Hey, who the crap let Strong Sad out?

''{Cut back out to the group shot.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' I've got all types of crazy crap!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enters the shot from the right}'' I bought Strong Bad a ''Deep Impact''!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z's been drinking Listerine!

''{Music cuts out with a record scratch as Coach Z wobbles and falls face first into the snow. Fade to black.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*When Homestar is talking to Bubs at his concession stand, you can remove some of the Christmas lights and move them around just as in the [[Astro Lite]] game! To help do this, pause the toon by right-clicking and unchecking play.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*A [[Wikipedia:Jew's harp|Jew's harp]] is an ancient Eurasian instrument, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp. Some believe it is called a 'juice harp' because the sound of the words 'juice' and 'jews' are similar. It should also be noted that some people consider the term Jew's harp offensive, and that the alternatives are generally preferred.

===Trivia===

*This toon marks the start of Strong Sad's voice becoming more "delicate," though some of his "fatigued" voice still remains at this time.
*This toon also marks the completion of Strong Bad's voice not having the Mexican accent (in other words, he sounds more like how he does today).
*The signs on the trees are as follows:
**3% APR!!!
**The Decemberator 2000
**Zero Down!
**[[Cheap as Free]]
**buy me! i'm awesome
**No you're not. I am.
*Marzipan's protest signs are as follows:
**DOWN WITH D'WEEN! ''(two signs)''
**I THINK IT'S TOO COMMERCIALIZED! ''(two signs)''
**DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES
*The signs at Bubs' Concession Stand are:
**Concessions By Bubs
**ALL TYPES OF CRAZY CRAP
**WE "GOT" THE GOODS
**decem-berween stuff
*Among the items Homestar finds at Bubs' is a copy of the [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]''. The game's teams were called "The Ricky Fighters" and "The Strong Bads". Evidently, this game is where Strong Bad got his name. This could also be a reference to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], when Strong Bad tells Homestar and [[Pom-Pom]] that he and Strong Mad are "the best tag-team wrestlers in the world".
*The Peter Frampton poster Homestar finds at the concession stand reads "Frampton Comes Alive!", and is autographed: "To: Strong Bad, Best Wishes! – P.F."
*This is the first cartoon where [[Decemberween]] is mentioned by its real name.

===Remarks===

*[[A Holiday Greeting]] had the same page title, as well as the same intro and loading screen.
*This cartoon seems to have been made during a transitionary period of sorts: The animation is of the most recent style, but the voices are the type that are associated more with the previous style. Notice, for instance, Homestar's pronunciation of "Strong Bad". Also, Bubs' Concession stand still has its old "Concessions by Bubs" sign, like from [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*The calendar at the beginning of the toon only shows 29 days in the month.
*In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Homestar has the shape of a star on his soles. In this toon, if you look at his footprints in the snow, they are just lines.

===Goofs===

*Strong Sad has no arms while he is singing, and Strong Bad has no arms while he is opening Homestar's present.
*During the singing, if you listen closely, you can hear little The Cheat noises. But the Cheat doesn't move until the end.
*When Coach Z and Homestar stop, the "Buy me, I'm awesome" sign on the Christmas tree is covering up a little bit of the tree in front of it.
*Though Strong Sad walks in during the song, he does not appear in the main group shot. Also, Strong Bad snaps back to his original position in the group shot after having moved to block Strong Sad's view.
*When Homestar and Coach Z are walking along together, they don't leave any footprints in the snow.
*When Homestar leans his head back and says, "I know, I know!", the outline on the back of his head goes inside his body and out the back of his shirt.
*When Homestar talks, the outline of his hat gets thinner.
*In the calender credits scene the red X disappears when the 23rd moves to the 24th.
*During the Decemberween song when Bubs and Homestar both sing Bubs' orange outline is outside of his green one.
*The KOT is missing the bottom part of his robe.

===Inside References===

*The [[Oven Mitts|oven mitts]] are a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], as is Coach Z's quote regarding the "great sports play".

===Real-World References===

*The introduction, with the spinning Special logo and sound effect, is a reference to the logo and sound that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://youtube.com/watch?v=6W9V9SZPHAY here]. This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]], as well as in [[The Luau]] (in this case, only the music was used).
*This toon contains many references to the "[[Peanuts]]" cartoons by Charles Schulz (particularly "A Charlie Brown Christmas"). For example, Homestar wears a winter hat (similar to Charlie Brown's hat) and walks out of a house, along the low brick wall and sighs. In addition, Strong Sad's arms are drawn in a particular way. Also, one of Marzipan's signs reads that Decemberween is too commercial, which is also similarly referenced in "A Charlie Brown Christmas", in which Charlie Brown thinks his dog Snoopy has gone commercial when he sees him decorating his dog house to enter a "lights and display" contest. Finally, it pays further homage at the end, when all the cast gets together and sings a song (which the Peanuts always did in their holiday specials).
*The page title refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison Bakery]], a sponsor of various cartoon specials on CBS -- including Peanuts -- throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
*The title of this 'toon is based on the book, [[Wikipedia:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"]], by [[Wikipedia:Barbara Robinson|Barbara Robinson]]. The plot has nothing in common except for the holiday theme, of course.
*[[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head exploding]] when he opened a present is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]], in which [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Jokey (aka Prisoner)|Jokey Smurf]] would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] (Coach Z's "mouthwarsh") is an over-the-counter mouthwash created by [[Wikipedia:Pfizer|Pfizer Inc.]] With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine, as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the alcohol could take effect.
*[[Wikipedia:Deep Impact (film)|Deep Impact]] is a 1998 science fiction film released by [[Wikipedia:Paramount Pictures|Paramount Pictures]] and [[Wikipedia:DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks Pictures]]. The interrelated stories of the plot describe events which take place surrounding the discovery of the fictional comet "Wolf-Biederman" due to impact Earth, and its subsequent approach to our planet.
*[[Wikipedia:Chex Mix|Chex party mix]] is a common holiday snack containing [[Wikipedia:Chex|Chex]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]], pretzels, spices, etc.

===Fast Forward===

*Strong Sad getting locked in the bathtub, as mentioned in this toon, is later seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*Homestar gives Strong Bad a Deep Impact DVD again in [[Real Live Emails]].
*Coach Z drinks [[Listerine]] as an alcoholic drink multiple times later on.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The Special fanfare has been changed into a skat remix done by the Chapman Bros.. However, the original fanfare can still be heard during the commentary.

<line start="16" end="60" speaker="strongbad"><em>(singing)</em> Everybody...check your email...</line>
<line start="67" end="80" speaker="strongbad">Dear Strong Bad,</line>
<line start="82" end="131" speaker="strongbad">How do you do it... no question mark. Teach me some of your tricks.</line>
<line start="132" end="155" speaker="strongbad">With crap, T.J.</line>
<line start="158" end="216" speaker="strongbad">Well, I mean I can't tell you all of them TJ. But, you know, there's the basics.</line>
<line start="217" end="271" speaker="strongbad">I mean, like if somebody's like, "Hey! Are you listening to me?" You say, "Yes," but</line>
<line start="272" end="292" speaker="strongbad">you know you're not really listening.</line>
<line start="298" end="341" speaker="strongbad">Um, then there's the one where you say, "Hey! Look over there."</line>
<line start="342" end="357" speaker="strongbad">And when they turn their head,</line>
<line start="358" end="400" speaker="strongbad">you know there's nothing there and you pour some Coke down their shirt.</line>
<line start="401" end="445" speaker="strongbad">And this one is a little amateur, but it has worked for me in the past.</line>
<line start="451" end="495" speaker="strongbad">You know, you bet somebody a hundred "bucks", and if they win,</line>
<line start="496" end="535" speaker="strongbad">you give them like a hundred kicks in the butt...</line>
<line start="538" end="556" speaker="strongbad">...and you say you call that a buck.</line>
<line start="557" end="602" speaker="strongbad">I mean, I don't know, somebody invented that...and...it works pretty good.</line>
<line start="603" end="616" speaker="strongbad">You get to kick somebody.</line>
<line start="621" end="653" speaker="strongbad">But everyone has a different taste, you know?</line>
<line start="656" end="675" speaker="strongbad">Develop your own style, TJ.</line>
<line start="680" end="733" speaker="strongbad">Reach down inside yourself and pull out something... y'know...</line>
<line start="734" end="799" speaker="strongbad">not like...organs. You know what I mean. Anyways, e-mail...</line>
<line start="800" end="816" speaker="strongbad">There'll be another one next week.</line>
