Codejkoolguy: /* Don't */ Typo.

{{shortcut|IRC||[[HRWiki:IRC]]}}
'''[[Wikipedia:IRC|IRC channels]]''' are available for general discussion regarding the Homestar Runner Wiki and the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki. We also have an IRC feed of the knowledge-base [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]. Assistance with IRC commands can be found at [[Help:IRC]].

<div style="border: 1px dashed #06f; background: #eef; width: 40em; padding: 0.5em; margin: 0.5em auto 1em; text-align: center;">
{| width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" style="line-height:24px; background: #eef;"

== Etiquette ==

===Do===
*A good thing to do on the channel is starting to talk about a specific topic. Those can range from Homestar Runner and the wiki through politics and popular culture to computers and current events.
*Be nice to your fellow chatters and wiki users.
*Log in with the NickServ either before entering the channel or in a separate tab/window. Otherwise, one minor typo and everyone knows your password.

===Don't===
''Failing to comply with the below guidelines may result in a channel kick or ban.''
*Don't flood. Flooding in a chat channel is repeating the same message over and over in a short period of time.
*Don't alarm users for no reason. Some chat clients make a sound when the chatter's name is written. Also, don't notify a lot of users at the same time without having something meaningful to say to all of them.
*Don't feed the trolls. If someone is spamming, cursing or causing trouble, contact one of channel's admins, a wiki sysop or any other respected user for help via a private message. Don't tell the troll to stop, don't try to out-spam him or her, don't yell or curse back at him. It will only encourage the troll.
*Don't post text that is more than 5 lines long. For text longer than that, use [http://pastebin.ca/ Pastebin].
*Don't use language that is inappropriate for young users. 
*Don't use bots. #hrwiki already has two bots that are on frequently (PsycheBot and ElectroBot), and even they are constantly used as a tool for flooding.

== IRC clients ==
An '''[[Wikipedia:IRC#Clients|IRC client]]''' is a program you can use to connect to any IRC chat channel. Popular IRC clients include:

Talk:Main Page

Codejkoolguy — Sun, 04 Jun 2006 05:05:57 GMT

Codejkoolguy: /* New main page style */

{{Main Page Talk}}

== Kind of interesting ==

if only because we're explicitly mentioned. [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=251&topic=27885046] I've saved a screenshot of it if anybody wants to see it after they purge it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:35, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

This does not work anymore.

== All Articles Page ==

For the first time, I clicked on the [[Special:Allpages|articles]] link on the Main Page, and the text that was displayed was
<table style='background: inherit;'><tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/$11.01|$11.01]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/$11.01| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/$11.01|Keytar]]</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/Kick The Can|Kick The Can]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/Kick The Can| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/Kick The Can|Strongbadia]]</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits|Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/Strongbadia's Seven Elemental Spirits|pom pom]]</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">[[Special:Allpages/pom pom (email)|pom pom (email)]]</td><td>[[Special:Allpages/pom pom (email)| to ]]</td><td align="left">[[Special:Allpages/pom pom (email)|your friends]]</td></tr></table>

I stared at the page for a few minutes, certain that this seemingly random collection of words was vandalism before I realized that they were names of mostly obscure articles.

So, I'm wondering if there's a better way to present this page. I understand that the object of the page is to divide up the articles into sections of the alphabet, but what if the page instead displayed (for example)
<pre>
$ to K
L to R
S to o
p to y
</pre>
(with appropriate links, of course)

I'm just thinking that if this page was confusing to me, it must be very confusing for newcomers to the Wiki. The above reformatting (or something like it) would make a lot more sense to the uninitiated, I think. Thanks! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:21, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea, though maybe it could say "$ to Ki", to be more accurate. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

:It can't hurt to suggest that to the developers as an enhancement for future versions: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 17:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::Oh—is this an immutable part of the software? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Well, ''nothing's'' immutable. In fact, anyone who wants to can suggest changes to [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_6_5/phase3/includes/SpecialAllpages.php?view=markup the source file]. I personally, however, don't see this as a pressing need at this time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::::I see; thanks for your reply. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
If it's worth anything, that confused me as well, the first time I looked at it. {{User:Salty/sig}} 20:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:The thing is, that page is automagically generated. It just happened, that, at the time, [[Keytar]] was the 1000th page, alphabetically (I think it's paged by the 1000, anyway... rough count gives around that number). Sure, it's possible to make it "$ to Ki", etc, but look at it, it'd need to make it something like "$ to Ki", "Ki to Strongbadia", "Strongbadia's to pom pom", "pom pom ( to z" or something like that, just because of how it happened to split that time – not really any help at all. What you'd have to do is get rid of the fixed-size pages, and just page by the first letter of the name or something similar, but good luck getting someone to actually bother to code it – on a large wiki like Wikipedia that would result in ''massive'' pages (have you seen [[Wikipedia:Special:Allpages]]?) so the people who code MediaWiki are unlikely to want to code this as standard. We could probably add it ourselves separately, but (1) we have stopped making any changes until we get 1.6 working and (B) even after that, as It's dot com said, it's not really a pressing need – even if it's a little confusing at first it shouldn't take too long to work out, and [[Special:Allpages]] isn't a particularly useful page here anyway (in my opinion). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

::I'm not particularly attached to having that [[Special:Allpages|articles]] link on the Main Page. Joey [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=39356&oldid=39355 added it] a while back, and seeing as that page isn't particularly useful to first-timers or regular users in its present unmodified state, I move that we remove it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

== Page views ==
Deleting and then restoring pages seems to remove their page views... is there any way to fix that? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 12:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

:You mean like on [[technology]], the "This page has been accessed 7 times" thing? I don't know of anything, and I don't really think it's ''that'' important... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

::For one, you'd have to know what the number was before it was deleted in order to be able to reset it. The original figure is gone from the database. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

== Episode V: The DOS strikes back! ==
About an hour ago, I had huge problems going to both here and the Fanstuff wiki. Nothing would load. Was that just my broken compy, or did it happen to the rest of you? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
:You're not alone. It was here too. Were we upgrading or anything? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Routine maintenance. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

== Anyone here a member of wikipedia as well? ==

If yes, go to Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 May 13, and scroll down to the userbox "THIS USER'S HEAD ASPLODE." Some guy, is planning to delete it, so if you can, go there and say, keep.

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 23:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

==Replacing the logo==
Are we replacing the logo? Because here on [[User:Soapergem/Legal]] it says that we are. Is this true?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 03:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:No it doesn't. Read closer. It says ''"If you intend..."'' Keyword '''IF'''. --{{User:Soapergem/sig}} 03:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::Thank you for sharing that, as I currently use this logo for our [http://www.frappr.com/homestarrunnerwiki Frappr] group. So I'm going now to add those statements requasted there. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

== 4 million page views fast approaching ==

We must be doing something right if we're getting that many main page views that quickly. (Well, either that or someone is repeatedly clicking "Reload".) [[HRWiki:Main_Page_Talk_Archive_9#3,000,000!|Three million]] was only three months ago. [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 6#I think today's the day...|I think we'll get that 2,000,002 more.]] {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 18:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:It's 4,001,240 views as of right now. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

== CAPTCHA Codes: A new look at editing or a swan dive overboard? ==
Hey everybody, whadda ya think about the CAPTCHA codes? You can post if it's a good idea or a bad idea. I think it's a bad idea, because they're so hard to read! And I think HRWiki's been a little ''too'' overprotective since The Incident.

:[[Special:Userlogin|Create an account]] and you won't need to bother with the CAPTCHA to edit. Registering a free account takes only a few seconds, and has [[HRWiki:Why create an account?|many benefits]].  -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:07, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

::I agree that these captchas are really hard. It usually takes me 3 or 4 tries to get it right. Very annoying. [[User:66.168.31.12|66.168.31.12]] 23:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

==Is Something Wrong?==
When I go to the wiki homepage and mouse over my name, all those little prefrences and things go to the other side. {{unsigned|Dactyl22|02:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)}}

I used to have it when i used IE6, it only happened half the time for me though. Maximizing your window helps, or if you want you can get firefox. It's your choice. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 07:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

== H*R for lazy people! ==

I don't want to have to check the hrwiki.org front page for Homestar Runner site updates. I want the SITE to contact ME. I want to subscribe to a Homestar Runner mailing list, so that I get emailed every time there's a new cartoon, email or game. Somebody start doing this please and I'll definately sign up! --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 21:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

:I actually have a dictionary without the word "gullible". No, the wiki and the fanstuff wiki are in no IMMEDIATE risk of deltaco. But $25 short can mean the difference between meeting a monthly payment and failing to. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Then donate. I can't lose this wiki. I have gotten so many more friends on here. And I am sure so have som others.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 03:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:Just so you know, even if that's what you're thinking in your head, you really shouldn't post that in this thread. It's a very selfish way to put it and disrespects those who actually do donate. I understand that your situation is probably such that you are not in a position to donate, but nevertheless that's how you come across. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I redid it.

:As it turns out, there were some donation stragglers, and we did end up meeting our goal. High fives! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

How, much did we go over?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 20:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

== A technical poem ==

On the main page boxes,where the recent updates and stuff art how'd they get the pics of the characters on em?

<div align="left" style="background:url('/skins/common/images/strongbad-background.gif') no-repeat bottom right;">You mean that guy? I believe it was [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]]. He took the image, changed The Colors on it, and added it to some technical place In the wiki software; something that requires Developer rights to do. Then he put it against a blue background, to make it all look nice. Hope that answers your question, sufficently. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC) </div>

Musical Sightings

Codejkoolguy — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 05:15:08 GMT

Codejkoolguy: /* Strike Four */

{{sightingslanguagewarning}}

== ApologetiX ==
*In the booklet for the Christian group ApologetiX's 2003 CD "Adam Up," their guitarist is wearing a Strong Bad shirt. Also, at a show in Cincinnati, Ohio, the guitarist, Karl, wore his Strong Bad shirt (the mask shirt). In the booklet, he is wearing the full body shirt. He's got both!
*At their stop in Big Rapids, Michigan October 2, 2004, the keyboardist, Bill Hubauer, somehow got the Homestar quotes from the main webpage into his piano playing loud "Toons!," "Games!," "Characters!," and "Downloads!" while the lead singer, J. Jackson, was trying to say stuff. So far, no reported repeats of this activity.
*On August 22nd ApologetiX stopped at Elizabethtown, PA. In the middle of the concert, between songs, Karl started singing Trogdor. He also commented on someone's The Cheat hoodie.
*Early 2006 ApologetiX released a Live DVD with snippets between some songs. Karl is seen several times with a Trogdor t-shirt.

Even though most of the listeners might have never heard of Homestar Runner or Strong Bad the crowd cheered and clapped their hands rhythmically with the music.
*''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings have been reported.

== Calibretto 13 ==
Calibretto 13 has a [http://www.myspace.com Myspace profile]. [http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=20334531&blogID=33999662 Evidently] they like Homestar Runner. They have a link to the website, with the text "You gotta love that homestar, he is a terrific athlete."

== Five Iron Frenzy ==

== Jump, Little Children ==
On June 6th, 2003, during his solo tour, Jay Clifford was asked to play a song and replied "It's been probably five years since I've played this song so forgive me. It's gonna sound like crap. Crap! It's gonna sound like crap! Anybody watch Homestar Runner? It's the cool- I mean, the best thing ever, that's ever happened to this planet! That's Homestar Runner. So Holy Crap!"

== Jump5 ==
During one bonus "track" on their remixed album (Remixed), Chris sings something extremely similar to The System is Down (one of the various sound effects).

== Karl Olson/Ultraklystron ==
[http://www.ampcast.com/music/4979/artist.php Karl Olson], also known as [http://www.karlrolson.com/ Ultraklystron], recorded two songs related to H*R: a cover of [[The Skate Party]] song [http://www.ampcast.com/LST-67826-mus-128-5890398-0-0-0-DLDLZTREGXSJDLGXDL/Ultraklystron__Strong_Sad_Rocks_Out_Original_by_the_Skate_Party.m3u Strong Sad Rocks Out] and an original song, [http://www.ampcast.com/LST-67834-mus-128-5890398-0-0-0-DLDLZTREGXSJDLFQO/Ultraklystron__Hes_Homsar.m3u He's Homsar], which are no longer available at these sites.

== KJ-52 ==
On his new album, ''Behind the Musik (A Boy Named Jonah)'', Christian rapper KJ-52 lists Homestar Runner in his song "Things I Like."

The way in which the verse "Come on now, everybody!" is performed in "Whoop Whoop" (from ''It's Pronounced Five-Two'') is suspiciously similar to the [[Intro]] song.

Upon being asked what his favorite [[Strong Bad Email]] was, KJ-52 replied, "Oh, man! Come on, now, that's not even a question right there. Um, my favorite Strong Bad Email, I'm-a probably say, I like [[virus|the one where they got the virus]], that one was hilarious. I like the one where Bubs went out and blew, um, shot a hole through the computer, but I have tons of them. Couldn't even name them all on top of my head. Um, so, that's to say, I have quite a bit. I would say that one's definitely one of the first ones that popped into my head." [http://kj52.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=36323&comments=on Click here] to hear the podcast.

Earlier, a fan asked if he would write a song about Homestar Runner. KJ-52 said, "Oh, yeah! I just went to Homestar Runner this morning. I was watching, um, I read [[cheatday|the cheatday]], that was a Strong Bad Email, so you might wanna go check it out. Do I think I'll write a song about Homestar Runner? Uh, you know what, don't put it past me, I'm not saying I would. But don't put it past me, I would say that this is from the guy who wrote a song about [[Wikipedia:Mullet (haircut)|mullets]], [[Wikipedia:Napoleon Dynamite|Napoleon Dynamite]] and [[Mountain Dew]]. And, I love Homestar. I think it's my favorite web site ever." [http://kj52.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=20520&comments=on Click here] to hear the podcast.

==Transcript to "The Sun Almost Rises"==

''{A series of envelopes appear and are tossed into a pile. The envelopes display the credits as follows: "loaded." "A Mellow Mushroom Cartoon" "Starring Mel & Dude" "The Sun Almost Rises"}''

''{Cut to the inside of Mel's mailbox. Mel opens the mailbox, pulls out the mail, and closes it back. Now we see the outside of Mel's mushroom house. It is raining. Mel enters his house. He is dripping wet.}''

'''MEL''': Sure is coming down hard out there.

'''DUDE''': Looks like it's going up to me.

'''MEL''': Dude! Sit up straightways!

''{Zoom out to see Dude is sitting on the couch upside down.}''

'''DUDE''': Oh, sorry. ''{turns around to be sitting right side up}'' Hey, you're right. It is coming down. So what came in the mail? Anything good?

'''MEL''': Let's see. . . ''{we see Mel's hands holding the mail, the top envelope is stamped "FINAL NOTICE" and addressed to Mel O. Mushroom, 420 Shroom St., Shroomville}'' A bill. . . ''{Mel throws it onto the floor, revealing the item under it to be some coupons for PEANUTS!, DiDi's "Pizza", and the House of Rays Tanning Salon.}'' A couple of crummy coupons, these can get thrown away. . . ''{Mel throws them onto the floor, revealing a letter from Melody, The Mellow Mushroom, addressed to the same address on the bill}'' And, oh! We got something from Melody up at the restaurant!

'''DUDE''': ''{springs up quickly from the couch}'' Melody? ''{Dude's pupils become hearts}'' Is it for me?

''{Mel opens the envelope. The letter inside reads:}''

Dear Mel and Dude,
Here's a list of the ingredients
I need by tomorrow. Don't be
late!!!
16 red onions
12 cloves of garlic
8 bell peppers
100 black olives
24 sundried tomatoes
I expect them here by 7 am.
-Melody

'''MEL''': Uhhh, yeah. It says, uh, "Dear Dude, You're the cutest talking mushroom that I ever saw."

'''DUDE''': Really?

'''MEL''': Nah, it really says, "Dear Mel and Dude, Here's a list of the ingredients I need by tomorrow: 16 red onions."

''{Dude open a cabinet. A large number of red onions fall down to the sound of falling bowling pins.}''

'''DUDE''': Got enough onions.

'''MEL''': 100 black olives.

''{We see many barrels full of black olives. Port Fungi is swimming in them.}''

'''DUDE''': What's after that?

'''MEL''': 8 bell peppers.

''{Cut to a big stack of bell peppers, with a sign that says, "A LOT OF PEPPERS". Some peppers fall down to reveal Dude.}''

'''DUDE''': Check.

'''MEL''': 12 cloves of garlic.

''{We see a barrel full of garlic cloves, which is labeled "GARLIC".}''

'''DUDE''': Got those.

'''MEL''': And 24 sundried tomatoes.

''{We see two baskets next to each other. The left one is an empty basket labeled "Sundried Tomatoes". The right one is a full basket labeled "Undried Tomatoes".}''

'''DUDE''': ''{looks into the basket}'' Uhhh, we don't have the sundried tomatoes. We'd better start drying them now.

'''MEL''': Are you kidding? It's pouring out there! What are we going to do?

'''DUDE''': I got it!

''{Dude shines a flashlight on the undried tomatoes.}''

'''MEL''': I don't think that'll cut it, Dude. We better call Wizard.

''{Cut to Wizard's telephone, which is ringing. Wizard picks it up.

'''WIZARD''': Hello?

''{The screen changes to a split screen, with Mel and Wizard visible in separate screens.}''

'''MEL''': Hey, Wiz. Mel here.

'''WIZARD''': Oh, hello, Mel. What can I do for you?

'''MEL''': Oh, uh, Dude and I have a bit of a problem. We need to sundry a bunch of tomatoes by tomorrow, but the rain is sorta getting in our way. Any ideas?

'''WIZARD''': Hmmmmmm. . . have you tried a flashlight?

'''MEL''': WHAT? ''{Mel gains a shocked expression on his face.}''

'''WIZARD''': Just kidding.

'''MEL''': Oh.

''{The screen shows Wizard's crystal ball.}''

'''WIZARD''': I saw Dude trying that in my crystal ball. ''{cut back to the split screen}'' Actually, I think you will find the solution in a bed.

'''MEL''': Say huh?

'''WIZARD''': In a bed. The answer lies in a bed.

'''MEL''': Say huh, wha?

'''WIZARD''': Goodbye, Mel.

''{Mel and Wizard hang up and walk off of their respective split screens. Cut back to Mel and Dude with the undried tomatoes.}''

'''DUDE''': What'd he say?

'''MEL''': He said the answer lies in a bed.

'''DUDE''': Say huh?

'''MEL''': That's what I said. Well, let's start trying.

''{Fade to black. Cut to Mel's bedroom, where he has placed the tomatoes on the bed.}''

'''MEL''': Hmmmmm. The answer lies in a bed. I dunno if this is gonna work. ''{scratches head}''

'''DUDE''': Maybe we should turn the lights off and sing 'em a song.

'''MEL''': Hey, wait! Maybe he was talking about a different kind of bed.

''{Cut to Mel's garage. The garage door opens, revealing Mel and Dude looking at Mel's truck. The truck bed has four darts in it.}''

'''DUDE''': Where's the bed?

'''Mel''': The truck, Dude. The bed of the truck.

'''DUDE''': Oh! I never slept there before.

'''MEL''': Well, do you see anything in there that could help us?

'''DUDE''': Oh, there's my jarts! You wanna play some jarts, Mel?

'''MEL''': Dude! Stay on task!

'''DUDE''': Oh, right. Beds. Let's see, what about a. . . bed of lettuce?

''{Cut to Mel's kitchen. Dude is holding a plate covered with lettuce leaves.}''

'''DUDE''': Here goes! ''{Dude drops a tomato on the lettuce. Cricket chirps are heard while nothing happens.}'' Now, hold on a sec. Sometimes these types of things take a while.

'''MEL''': You can wait there all you want, Dude. It ain't gonna happen. We'll just have to tell Melody we'll get her the sundried tomatoes in a few days.

'''DUDE''': Oh, all right. ''{Dude dumps a tomato into the trash can.}''

'''MEL''': Don't throw 'em away! ''{Mel reaches in and retrieves the tomato. Underneath the tomato is the coupons from the mail.}'' Hey, that's it! ''{The camera zooms in on the House of Rays Tanning Salon coupon.}''

'''DUDE''': What?

''{Cut to a now filled bucket of sundried tomatoes. Zoom out to see more dried tomatoes on a tanning bed. Mel and Dude are wearing protective glasses.}''

'''MEL''': Melody'll never know the difference.

''{Fade to black. Cut to Mel, Dude, and Melody outside the Mellow Mushroom restaurant.}''

'''MELODY''': Well, guys, everything looks pretty good, though the sundried tomatoes are smelling a little bit like Coppertone.

'''MEL''': Oh, uh, yeah, that's, uhhh, that's olive oil. You know. Olive oil, ''{using finger quotes}'' "Nature's Coppertone". ''{winks}''

'''DUDE''': That's right, Mel. Nature's Coppertone. ''{winks back}''

'''MELODY''': Why are you guys winking at each other?

'''MEL''': Say huh?

'''DUDE''': Say huh, wha?

''{Canned laughter as black covers the screen and the words "the end" appear. Options to go "back" to the main page or to play the toon "again" are displayed.}''

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

''{reading}''
<blockquote class="email">hi there strong bad, 
 
i was just wondering, when is dangeresque 3 comeing out? 
 
yours truly, 
john newell, on</blockquote>

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

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

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

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

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

'''COACH Z''': Now?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD''': Whaaa?

'''COACH Z''': Dangeresque!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Sad walks out.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*At the end of [[stunt double]], Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective was said to be coming out in June 2004, which is when this e-mail came out. Also, it was supposed to be 'In 3D', which is why the sign says 'not in 3D' at the beginning of this one.

===Trivia===
*This email was originally titled "dangeresque3" (without the space) but was changed within hours to "dangeresque 3."
*The file sbemail106.swf is the biggest email to date, coming in at 1265KB. The only other emails that have come in over 1MB are "[[japanese cartoon]]," at 1131KB; "[[date]]," at 1032KB; and "[[haircut]]," at 1066KB. The large size is mostly due to the 3 frames of TV static (167KB from those 3 frames alone), and the noisy still image (287KB) at the end.
*The nunchuck gun has no trigger.

===Inside References===
*The sound effect of "John Newell OFF" is the same one used when Strong Sad came down from his caffine high in [[caffeine]].
*Strong Bad's line "I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo. Which is all the time" is a line from [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Dangeresque's door reads (backwards) ''DANGERESQUE Private Eye/Crooked Cop'' which is also a throw to the Strong Bad Sings CD.
*The [[The VCR|VCR]] used for the car phone is from [[12:00]] and the [[Character Videos]] page.
*The Newspaper is from [[stunt double]].
**To read the exact text of the newspaper, see trivia in [[stunt double]].
*"I'm gonna have to jump!" is a reference to the [[stunt double]], as is the whole e-mail.
*The Name Tag that The King of Town wears is from [[The Luau]].
*The car is the [[Gremlin]] from [[Homestarloween Party]].
*Strong Bad saying "That guy is tall" may be a reference to [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] where Homestar said, "Alright, this guy is tall."
*The Cheat's "Istanbul" costume is a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]] where his "[[The Popular Vote|Popular Vote]]" costume looks almost the same.

===Real-World References===

*"What is your malfunction?" is a reference to Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war movie [[imdb:tt0093058|"Full Metal Jacket"]].
*The scene of the two Dangeresques climbing up the "skyscraper" is a parody of [http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/7537/climb.htm The Bat Climb], a running gag from the old [[Batman]] TV series.
*"The pipes are broken!" is Homestar trying to say "Tatsu Maki Sen Pū Kyaku," a move from Street Fighter II usually called the Hurricane Kick in U.S. versions. This is because the characters in Street Fighter II are very hard to understand and sound like they are saying something else.
*Homestar's "shades" are Venetian blinds-style, and may have been inspired by the movie [[imdb:tt0094072|"Summer School"]].
*[http://www.hersheys.com/sundaebest/milkshakes.html#Peanut%20Butter%20Cup "Reesy Cup Milkshake"] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Reese%27s_Peanut_Butter_Cup|Reese's Peanut Butter Cups]] candy, which is often served in milkshakes.
* Doughboy may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pillsbury_Doughboy|Poppin' Fresh]], [http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_poppinfresh.htm The Pillsbury Doughboy].
*At the beginning of the climbing scene, a sound effect played during the scene transition is similar to that of the television show Law and Order.
===Fast Forward===

*Homestar's "Hurricane Kick" becomes one of [[1-Up]]'s attacks in the Stinkoman 20x6 game.

For information on why this page was created please see [[Talk:Characters#The Guys You Don't See Anymore|talk]] and [[Talk:Unnamed Girl|this talk]] (This page is far from complete, don't delete it just yet)[[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 16:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Why exactly do we need this? We have a [[:Category:Rejected Characters|category for aborted characters]]. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 00:16, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I like to see all these charaters in one page. Right now they all have short stub pages so I thought it would me nice to marge then all together. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 04:13, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This IS '''kinda''' a useful page, like if people want to see some old characters, that are no longer/make few appearnces on the site? HrWiki is definetely a useful place, and the more articles, the better! Just don't keep the useless and blank pages. I think this article is just fine, and I really don't see why it needs to be deleted. Aw, crap. I forgot what I was gonna say now. Oh well. -[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]]

He's right. With this, we'll be able to delete the individual pages, and the bandwidth will never be exceeded again! P.S. - You forgot [[Trivia Time]]. --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:30, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:That's not what bandwidth is. Bandwidth is the amount of information transmitted from the server, not the amount of information stored on the server. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ya, this is a nice page that will give an idea about what H*R used to be like. I say keep it.-Jeffrey
