HRWiki:Old STUFF

Dex — Mon, 16 May 2005 21:29:06 GMT

Dex: /* Change of Pace */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== To be done ==

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

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[do over]]===
====Change of Pace====

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

*'''Accept-erson''' I actually saw Family Guy the night before this email was released and I thought about it as a watched this email. And considering the fact that [[TBC]] make updates (in this case, the new email) late Sunday night or early Monday morning (usually), it is a possibility. I mean, TBC seem like the kinda funny dudes who watch those kind of shows, like me. 8-P [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
*'''Decline.''' I'd think this would have been in the works for awhile. But, I did read in one of the interviews that they stick jokes in at the last minute. Still, I think it's a stretch. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I was just about to say that! Given the timing and Homestar's comment about being "jingly" ("tell me that doesn't sound like camp town races!") make me believe it. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 21:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''DO OVER!!!''' I'm willing to chalk this one up to coincidence without some more solid evidence (okay, okay, I didn't watch it, but it SOUNDS like it's the sort of thing I'd normally call a coincidence.) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 21:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought Family Guy, the timing is way too much of a coincedence, and the Brothers do e-mails on Sundays usually, especially since this one wasnt even up until later today, rather than early in the morning like usual. The brothers seem like the type who would watch Family Guy too. --[[User:Dex|Dex]] 21:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

=== [[new hands]] ===
====Not handy====

'Guitars and lazor guns' are both useless to someone with no hands.

*'''Decline''' And computer keyboards are useless to people with boxing gloves for hands. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline'''. So? Also, how is a laser gun useless to someone with no hands? I don't see a trigger on it or anything, it could be linked directly into his nerves... Just point and think. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 01:22, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline, and I hate you get out''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:49, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' and fun facts are useless unless they are "fun" or even "interesting" --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*'''Decline.''' When you have nothing nice to say about a fun fact ... -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:22, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' pointless, useless and I think this qualifies as an opinion instead of a fact. [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]
**'''Witty H*R-related phrase involving the word 'Second'''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 18:42, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
***Who gives a holy crap? Why wasn't this just DELETED? '''DECLINE!''' --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 20:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

=== [[for kids]] ===
====Okay, dumb children...====

The Party Mix CD with the song "All Is On" is a parody of the various "Kidz Bop!" and other 'kid-safe' albums. The spine of the CD reads "Songs we found on the street".

*'''All is Off...Decline it Decline It!''' I'm sorry. I just don't see any connection whatsoever except for the fact that they both are music. If someone can see any resemblance, I'll change my vote. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
*'''Decline''' because you contradict yourself in your very next sentence. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 23:27, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Its a generic parody of crappy compilation CDs. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*erm...no. '''Decline''' --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*'''Decline.''' No sir, I don't like it. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:23, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Yo declino''' For the reasons stated above [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
*'''Decline.''' How? Just because the rest of the email involves children? --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 20:57, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

=== [[the bird]] ===
====First Appearance====
This is the first time we see the [[Pom Pilot]].

*'''Decline.''' We have the Appearances section on pages for items, characters, etc. to give information like this. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 13:55, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' Besides, its not like the Pom Pilot is a item that appears in most cartoons, so I wouldn't think it would be that interesting anyway --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*'''Accept''' Yeah, I'd have to agree with this.... --[[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]] 20:42, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' because... ehh... because. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 23:27, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Already listed elsewhere. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Very Weak Accept.''' So, how else are you supposed to hang a link to the Pom Pilot in the article? I don't think we're supposed to put links in the transcript. The only other time that the Pom Pilot is mentioned is in Goofs. I guess you could put it there, but I don't really like that. Maybe we need a Props listing under the Cast listing (just an idea). -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

=== [[the process]] ===
====Another convoluted band reference thing ====
Strong Bad may be poking fun at rock group [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson%2C_Lake_%26_Palmer Emerson, Lake & Palmer]; his first extension of Em's name is Emerson and the group in question released an album in 1971 entitled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarkus Tarkus], hence Em''tark''anderundersgunderson (while this may be stretching things, the letter "u" replaces "a" in the repetition of "ander," the letter "s" following).

*'''Must...deny...funfact!''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 07:56, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*Revise The evidence shown is convincing, but it may still be a coincidence. If you can show a little more I'll accept. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Decline''' The fact that this one actually contains the phrases "this '''may be''' and '''stretch'''ing things" should disqualify it. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
:*Comment It still might be true. The "emerson" and "tark" things are convincing, he just needs to add a little more proof. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
:*And somehow I'm still not seeing it. Besides, he probably called him Emerson because adding "erson" onto someone's name is a HR running gag. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
:*According to this --> [[Names ending in -erson]] you are correct, it still could be a double gag though. However, I'm not accepting it yet anyway. As I said, he needs to give more proof. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Decline.''' Sometimes an -erson joke is just an -erson joke. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:32, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

=== [[dangeresque 3]] ===

====Explanation needed?====

The subtitle for Dangeresque 1, "Dangeresque, too?" explains why the subtitle for Dangeresque 2 was "This time, it's not Dangeresque 1"

*No... it really doesn't. It's a joke. '''3-Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 04:25, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
**Agreed. '''Second''' --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

But only Lucky Charms has the spokesperson (i.e. the person of whom the cereal belongs to) trying to not get caught.

*'''Revise and Accept''' They never actually say that Strong Sad searched Google, but I think it can be safely inferred, in which case I think this is one awesomely fun fact. I think it's also safe to assume that TBC did the search and knew what it was that they were indirectly referencing... and even if they didn't, I think it's worth recording, since future fans will likely be curious as to what was on the other side of the "blue ones" search when the toon was released. It should be revised, however, to say "At the approximate time that the toon was released..." since the search result is almost certain to change relatively soon. - Dingell
**But that doesn't prove they were talking about the Elijah Wood image. And curious future users? Who cares? What, we're going to list everything an image search for "Blue Ones" will bring up? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

**No! NO! Stop it! Back off! Back the F*** off! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COMES UP ON THE "BLUE ONES" GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT ELIJAH WOOD. Whats worse, if you do image searches at Lycos.com or Altavista.com the Frodo pic? Doesn't come up. Sorry, "being sort of weird" doesn't entitle the fact to be placed on the Wiki.

***To speak to your specific question, somebody out there (not me) wondered what Strong Sad would have found (if Strong Sad were real) when he searched for "blue ones". The Elijah Wood picture was what he or she found and, being sufficiently strange, qualified as "nothing pleasant" to this unknown originator and to at least a few of us as well. It's a tenuous link, perhaps, but that's what STUFF is for. That's why I put my version ''here'' first, not on the page itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

* I put on my detective hat and had a look. The last eggless toon was [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], a month and a half ago. Before that was the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] 3 months ago. [[Under Construction]] and most of the [[Puppet Stuff]] is eggless. If it is rewritten "The first cartoon (except April Fools features and live action) ..." then the last was [[Ballad of The Sneak]], 10 and a half months ago. Discounting music videos too, the latest was [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]], 13 months ago.

Obviously the paranormal/normal investigator is an independant joke, not relevant here. I think the idea of Bubs attending a Strong Bad class is funny enough to keep it.

*'''Decline''' This is another case of thinking a similar joke on the same phenomenon is the origin of the joke itself. "My stories" is simply how some people refer to the soap operas they watch.

====Eyebrow?====
This is the first time we see Marzipan raise an eyebrow.

*'''Decline''' Why oh why someone thought this was trivia boggles the mind. There is nothing to this "fact". She raised an eyebrow, whoopdie do. Trivia implies that someone will actually find the information interesting, nobody cares about facial expressions unless it somehow reveals something about the character (in the case of Strong Bad, it'd show that he actually has eyebrows).

Also it seems unlikely that Strong Bad's house would have a garage because we've never seen any of the brothers Strong with a car and thus the only reason he called it a garage sale was because the email said "garage sale".[[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 18:18, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second''' The Ryan S. on Survivor is a good refrence (TBC could easily watch survivor), but is a dircet refrence to techno, not theme park, move it. Also, accept the second as it could be just as good and just as likely.

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

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

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

**'''Second''', to all of the above. --SBEmail22 8:42 PM, 5 May 2005 (EST)
*'''Revise''' You can use this or not, I don't care, but when he said "cross talk," I always assumed it meant something more along the lines of "sassin' back", or being generally argumentative and uncooperative. But if that means what you said it means, then that could be a reference, too. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 05:08, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Decline.''' I assumed that as well. And yes, "crosstalk" DOES mean that, but I don't think it applies here - I think it's just an odd coincidence. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 14:34, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**'''Comment''' I disagree. I think that's exactly why he said "crosstalk" to the Compy. Otherwise he would have said "cut the sass" or something to that effect without using the word "crosstalk". --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
*'''Revise.''' Should go something like this: --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 14:57, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) 
<pre>At the beginning of the e-mail, Strong Bad tells the Compy not to give
him any crosstalk. Crosstalk is when a signal transmitted on two parallel
wires creates an undesired effect (in this case, the Compy saying, "Cut
it out, you."</pre>
*'''Exobably not.''' I think he's just telling his Compy to cut the sass. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 13:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**So you think they just pulled the term "crosstalk" out of thin air? I'd say this is definitely an '''Accept''', preferably with some small revisions to the sentence structure. - Dingell

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

**Not much of a difference in my eyes, but isn't that more of a "revise" than "decline"? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Guys, I think some of you are misinterpreting the point of my STUFF here. Obviously CC is a GI Joe clone. I don't need to tell you that.

*'''ACCEPT.''' This one really is a no-brainer. Cobra Commander has a ''very'' distinctive voice, and Matt is clearly mimicking it.

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

*'''Decline''' As I said on [[Talk:Main Page 6]], there's an option when you add a sound in Flash there are several Sync options, the usual one for this type of thing is "Stream", which makes it skip frames when being viewed on a slow computer so as to keep up with the sound. With sounds synced to "Event" (the default) if it plays too slowly on an old computer it just takes longer to play, making the sound lose sync. I guess they just forgot to turn it on this time. Perhaps "The sounds for Strong Bad singing and the planes rushing past are not set as Streaming audio, and can lose sync on slower computers" would work as a Fun Fact? Actually the harp for Downloads is the only sound that is streamed, but these are the only two you can notice. As for It's dot com's revision, you'll find that's already on the page as a seperate fact. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 20:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

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

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

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

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

'''Verdict:''' After many weeks of voting, this fact was '''Accepted''' as the re-written version below. The re-write now appears on [[animal]], and the discussion can be found at [[Talk:animal]]. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 22:34, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====
When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

'''VERDICT:''' This fact was declined. The discussion can be found at [[Talk:animal]] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

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

=== [[virus]] ===
====Real virus?====
Since the curret Frequently Asked Questions page says every email but 'mile' is real, it's safe to assume someone actually tried to crash Compy 386 by sending a virus to Strong Bad.

==== The Number 423,827 ====
I'm just wondering what significance, if any, the number 423,827 has to HomeStarRunner.com. I personally think it could be the total number of Strong Bad e-mails recieved to date <s>by the site</s> since SB got his Compy, however I do not know how to confirm that.

After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time, and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears. This is possible, but I doubt Strong Bad knows the right command
*'''Accept''' Good catch, I didn't even catch it. --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 14:15, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' This is a valid goof (it COULD just be part of the viruses beginning to act), but the second line about Strong Bad knowing the right command is unnecessary. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:33, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)

Stlunko, the world 3 boss, could very well be modeled after...

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Dex — Mon, 16 May 2005 21:28:04 GMT

Dex: /* Change of Pace */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== To be done ==

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

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

*'''Accept-erson''' I actually saw Family Guy the night before this email was released and I thought about it as a watched this email.

====Another convoluted band reference thing ====
Strong Bad may be poking fun at rock group [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson%2C_Lake_%26_Palmer Emerson, Lake & Palmer]; his first extension of Em's name is Emerson and the group in question released an album in 1971 entitled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarkus Tarkus], hence Em''tark''anderundersgunderson (while this may be stretching things, the letter "u" replaces "a" in the repetition of "ander," the letter "s" following).

It should be revised, however, to say "At the approximate time that the toon was released..." since the search result is almost certain to change relatively soon. - Dingell

***To speak to your specific question, somebody out there (not me) wondered what Strong Sad would have found (if Strong Sad were real) when he searched for "blue ones". The Elijah Wood picture was what he or she found and, being sufficiently strange, qualified as "nothing pleasant" to this unknown originator and to at least a few of us as well. It's a tenuous link, perhaps, but that's what STUFF is for. That's why I put my version ''here'' first, not on the page itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
****Because its annoying listening to acceptors accepting this fact based on "its kinda weird". The "nothing pleasent anyway" is meant to be a generic statement. They most likely didn't have anything in mind when they made it. There are other fun facts where the declines are overwhealming and people are still being rude. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*'''Decline''' It's just like saying "Googling the word 'virus' will bring up a picture of Tim Allen." It's extremely irrelevant. But it's still good for people to argue over. [[User:Saargtsson-Bosch,GmbH|S-B,GmbH]]
**The difference is, whereas Strong Bad never searched for "virus", Strong Sad did actually mention using an internet search engine to fine "Blue Ones". Whether that makes this fact relevant I don't know, but it is actually fun. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*** But it still isn't relevent. Like I said, they didn't specify a search engine and the Frodo pic only shows up on Google. I'm not even sure why its interesting at all. "Blue ones" causes Frodo to come up '''because his eyes are blue'''. Its not weird. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

====Whom made a mistake?====
When the Announcer says "whom", in an attempt to sound sophisticated, it is grammatically incorrect. As the pronoun that would go there is not "Him shot Caleb" but rather "He shot Caleb", the question should use "who".
*As the writer, I '''Accept''' it, but I put it here because I'm not sure if it's enough for a fun fact. I think the grammatical use of "whom" isn't exactly widely known, but some people might disagree.

* I put on my detective hat and had a look. The last eggless toon was [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], a month and a half ago. Before that was the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] 3 months ago. [[Under Construction]] and most of the [[Puppet Stuff]] is eggless. If it is rewritten "The first cartoon (except April Fools features and live action) ..." then the last was [[Ballad of The Sneak]], 10 and a half months ago. Discounting music videos too, the latest was [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]], 13 months ago.

====Grandma's Stories====
The line "Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?" may be a reference to a Saturday Night Live comedy skit, where Adam Sandler plays a Grandmother who enjoys a television series named "My Story".
*'''Decline''' This is another case of thinking a similar joke on the same phenomenon is the origin of the joke itself. "My stories" is simply how some people refer to the soap operas they watch. Heck, George Carlin makes reference to that in an album from the '70s, and that's not the origin either -- it's just that sweet English language in action again.

the line "In the United States alone, someone checks their email every three seconds.

====Eyebrow?====
This is the first time we see Marzipan raise an eyebrow.

*'''Decline''' Why oh why someone thought this was trivia boggles the mind. There is nothing to this "fact". She raised an eyebrow, whoopdie do. Trivia implies that someone will actually find the information interesting, nobody cares about facial expressions unless it somehow reveals something about the character (in the case of Strong Bad, it'd show that he actually has eyebrows).

====Will The Real Ryan S. Please Stand Up?====
'''(A)'''The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to Ryan Shoulders from the TV show [http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor7/survivors/bio/ryans.shtml Survivor: Pearl Islands] (airing in late 2003). In episode 2, Ryan S. goes to pick up a message (aka "treemail" on the show). While picking it up, he says, "The treemail, the treemail, wha wha the treemail," a play on the opening to [[techno]].

'''(B)'''The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to [[Ryan Sterritt]], a friend of the Brothers Chaps who has helped with the website in the past.
*I'd written the latter one, which I think is a more feasible connection than the former. '''Accept''' that one, but '''Neutral''' on the former; could be either way, really. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:46, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Meeehh''' When there are two likely answers, hang them both. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Double Accept''' I think both of them could be references that are correct. I'd put it like one fact, then the double asterisk, and the other fact, ya know? [[user: lappy 486]]
**'''Second.''' It should be noted that, on Survivor, the guy is actually referred to as "Ryan S.", to differentiate from "Ryan O." So both are very very plausible.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 11:01, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second''' The Ryan S. on Survivor is a good refrence (TBC could easily watch survivor), but is a dircet refrence to techno, not theme park, move it. Also, accept the second as it could be just as good and just as likely.
**Given that there's DEFINITELY a "Ryan S." on General Tso's Chicken and that it's not terribly likely to just be some random name they came up with, I'd say there's relevance enough. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 04:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept Both''' -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]]
*'''Decline Both''' -- I think that whenever there is this much debate over either option, both should be scrapped. I mean, if it is not clear to a majority, why would it be a reference by the brothers? [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:43, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept Both''' -- They're both reasonable enough to mention. As a big fan of Survivor, I'd love to accept A and decline B, but I must say that B seems a bit more likely, given that A is a connection that few people would make (Ryan S. appeared on the show a total of three times), whereas B would at least be noticed by the "Ryan S." in question. Who knows for sure... but it must be a reference to something, so we should provide some hypothetical explanation. - Dingell

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

*'''Revise.''' Uhh...I ''sort of'' catch your meaning. -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 04:03, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Revise.''' Most dictionaries list it as one word: ''[[Wikipedia:crosstalk|crosstalk]].'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:11, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second''', to all of the above. --SBEmail22 8:42 PM, 5 May 2005 (EST)
*'''Revise''' You can use this or not, I don't care, but when he said "cross talk," I always assumed it meant something more along the lines of "sassin' back", or being generally argumentative and uncooperative. But if that means what you said it means, then that could be a reference, too. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 05:08, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Decline.''' I assumed that as well. And yes, "crosstalk" DOES mean that, but I don't think it applies here - I think it's just an odd coincidence. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 14:34, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' Since it's more of an electrical engineering and telephony term rather than a computer term, I'm inclined to think this wasn't intentional. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 20:14, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' I disagree. I think that's exactly why he said "crosstalk" to the Compy. Otherwise he would have said "cut the sass" or something to that effect without using the word "crosstalk". --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
*'''Revise.''' Should go something like this: --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 14:57, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) 
<pre>At the beginning of the e-mail, Strong Bad tells the Compy not to give
him any crosstalk. Crosstalk is when a signal transmitted on two parallel
wires creates an undesired effect (in this case, the Compy saying, "Cut
it out, you."</pre>
*'''Exobably not.''' I think he's just telling his Compy to cut the sass. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 13:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**So you think they just pulled the term "crosstalk" out of thin air? I'd say this is definitely an '''Accept''', preferably with some small revisions to the sentence structure. - Dingell
***Not really. I realize crosstalk is a computer term, and SB might as well, but it seems that he's using it in the way I described above. I don't know if that makes sense. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:54, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
****The fact doesn't say the reason why they used the phrase, it just explains what the technical definition for crosstalk. Dingell is right, its use (whether they used it properly or not) is not a coincidence. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Blue Laser Commander]]===
====A legendary voice, you screech?====
The voice of the Commander is almost certainly a reference to the legendary voice-work of the late Chris Latta, best known as the voices of Starscream from Transformers and Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe.

*'''Decline.''' I doubt it was done on purpose. Maybe coincidentally, yes. But there is absolutely no certainty. -- [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:45, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 22:50, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**Not much of a difference in my eyes, but isn't that more of a "revise" than "decline"? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**The key difference is that one is a reference to a concept, the other a specific person so '''Decline'''. Isn't there already a fact stating CC is a GI Joe parody? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Nope, it's a straight decline. Leave out the reference to the man and you're left with "The voice of BLC is a reference to Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe". I thought that was already a well-established fact. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:19, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Acceptinated!''' But is Chris Latta dead? That's not what I read online. -Walking Armless
*Guys, I think some of you are misinterpreting the point of my STUFF here. Obviously CC is a GI Joe clone. I don't need to tell you that.

[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 02:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''ACCEPT.''' This one really is a no-brainer. Cobra Commander has a ''very'' distinctive voice, and Matt is clearly mimicking it.

(Sadly, Chris passed away in 1994 after a long illness.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:47, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**The fact as proposed seems to indicate that BLC's voice is some sort of intentional homage to Chris Latta. I just don't think that's the case. Matt is mimicking Cobra Commander's voice. Coincidentally, the voice was supplied by Chris Latta -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:03, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***But by imitating Cobra Commander's voice, you are by necessity also imitating Chris Latta. What the fact is saying, then, is that "the Blue Laser Commander is a parody of Cobra Commander, even down to the way Chris Latta provided the voice."

Given [[The Brothers Chaps|the Brothers Chaps']] obsession with old video games, RyGuy might be a reference to the classic NES game Rygar, or Ryu from the Street Fighter series. It could also reference [http://www.callofcombat.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4158 Fryguy], given their equal obsession with 80s youth-targeted advertising.

*'''I'm not gonna write a "Declined" joke this week...''' Ryu was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this email, however since there's so many things it could be a reference to (just search the web for "RyGuy") it's not certain. Either pick one and prove it, or this is textbook TTATOT --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 15:41, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declined''' "RyGuy" is a nickname for Ryan, not a reference to anything. I happen to have a friend named Ryan, who a lot of people call "RyGuy". Do I go around saying "Is that a reference to...?!" No, I don't. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 20:54, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

====Edga Jr. removes text?====
Strong Bad opens up [[Edga Jr.]] and when it goes away, all the text written before it is gone.

I understand NOW what it's saying, but I still don't think it's a goof - what's the point of running Edga Jr. on what Strong Bad just typed? In any case, since we don't know exactly what keys Strong Bad pressed to bring the e-mail back up, but it's possible he could have just brought the e-mail back up so that he could do his "X-pensive Light Pen' thingie on it. It's still not deserving of a Goof entry since we don't accurately know what keys were pressed or even what was intended to happen - at the very least, it's a weak Remark, not a Goof. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:11, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

*'''Decline''' As I said on [[Talk:Main Page 6]], there's an option when you add a sound in Flash there are several Sync options, the usual one for this type of thing is "Stream", which makes it skip frames when being viewed on a slow computer so as to keep up with the sound. With sounds synced to "Event" (the default) if it plays too slowly on an old computer it just takes longer to play, making the sound lose sync. I guess they just forgot to turn it on this time. Perhaps "The sounds for Strong Bad singing and the planes rushing past are not set as Streaming audio, and can lose sync on slower computers" would work as a Fun Fact? Actually the harp for Downloads is the only sound that is streamed, but these are the only two you can notice. As for It's dot com's revision, you'll find that's already on the page as a seperate fact. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 20:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

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

**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 01:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Since no one can apparently agree to a consensus on this one, I'll try a revised version.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*'''Accept.''' This sounds more likely to me than the Salad Fingers thing. --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]
*'''Revise, accept.''' I think that a fun fact should be listed that explains both speculations, for example: "There has been quite some speculation about Coach Z talking on his unplugged phone. Some say it is a reference to the Salad Fingers series, in which Salad Fingers uses a similar phone, and also due to the rusty steak knife, as Salad Fingers likes to touch rusty objects. Others say it is a reference to the film The Waterboy, as in one scene, Coach Klein(Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Comment''' Talk about bloated - that revision is a STUFF item just waiting to happen. We're working with Fun '''Facts''' here, not semi-random speculations.

==== "state trooper" ====
Homsar's line "You're a real state trooper" is a commonly mistaken lyric from the song '''Straight Shooter''' by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric is "You're a real straight shooter." [[User: Terra Rising|Terra Rising]] Dec 27, 2004 1:40 AM (PST)

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

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

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

*'''Decline.''' I'll make it difficult... The thing is, the whole issue is quite ambiguous, since the way the perspective works, we never see the keyboard and it's possible that Strong Bad IS able to type without us seeing.

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====
When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

'''VERDICT:''' This fact was declined. The discussion can be found at [[Talk:animal]] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Fanglyfish is Strongbad's interpertation of a real-world animal called the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish anglerfish]. Apparently he's unaware that only lady anglerfish get to have the Christmas lights and lures.
*'''STRONGLY rewrite, if not decline''' The Anglerfish part is obvious. The other part might be significant, but it doesn't feel like NPOV as written. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:30, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

It should be noted that, in actuality, only the female anglerfish possesses the lights and lures which Strong Bad refers to." The part about lights and lures should only apply to the real anglerfish, and Strong Bad shouldn't be blamed for lacking knowledge. For all we know, things could be different in the H*R universe. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 22:12, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
''{Wintery music plays as the camera zooms in on Homestar's clock; it flips from 9:59 to 10:00. Cut to Homestar Runner in bed yawning. Homestar sits up and looks out the window, and the music stops with a record scratch. It is in the middle of the night.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I set the alarm for 10 PM instead of AM again!

''{While Homestar says this, cut to outside Homestar's window looking in, then back inside again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I was supposed to go Decemberween shopping today!

''{Another record scratch as the camera focuses on a page-a-day calendar, which reads 'Dec. 25 - "The D'Ween, Yo."'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! It's Decemberween already!

''{Homestar jumps out of bed and runs off, the sound of him smacking into something is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I ran into the door!

''{Homestar gets up and runs off again. The camera shakes to banging noises offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dryly}'' Oh crap, I fell down the stairs.

''{Cut to outside Homestar's house. A naked, pixelated Homestar leaps outside and looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighing}'' And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow.

''{Homestar looks up at the snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{happily}'' Ooh, but it ''is'' snowing.

''{Cut back to the calendar, over which the cartoon title appears, then to a field view with the the title "Blah blah blah - The Brothers Chaps", then to the side of a Decemberween-decorated side of Bubs' Concession Stand and the title "Vocal Styles by Missy & Matt", then finally to the Strongs' living room with the title "Here we go."}''

''{In the Strongs' living room, a Capsela set and present wrappings are on the floor. Strong Mad is on the couch and wearing a green Decemberween sweater with snowflakes on it. He's happily tossing a large rock with a winking face drawn on it and a red ribbon up in the air and catching it.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I LOVE YOU, TONY STONY! ''{holding the rock in front of his face}'' NO, I LOVE YOU MORE!

''{The camera pans over to reveal Strong Bad playing with an extending claw toy in front of a box labelled "Grabbo Arm".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This thing is awesome. The Grabbo Arm demands respect. ''{to Strong Mad}'' I'd like to see somebody front on this. ''{calling}'' Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera}'' Meh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grab ahold of that egg nog.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera} {"Okay" noise}''

''{The Cheat yelps as Strong Bad extends the Grabbo Arm to grab him, wearing a red nose and antlers and holding a glass of egg nog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

''{Cut outside, to Homsar waving a paintbrush, standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked Beans". The paintbrush rings like a bell. Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.

'''HOMSAR:''' Alms for the pudgy. Alms for the pudgy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I don't know what any of that means, but I will make use of your complimentary spit bucket. Ahct-poo!

''{Homestar spits into the bucket and runs off.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' You're a real state trooper.

''{Homestar runs across the countryside in silhouette, then to Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Bubs I need to buy everyone and their brother a Decemberween present! ''{panting}''

'''BUBS:''' Running a little late, aren't we Homestar?

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got an hour and forty-five minutes. What do you got?

'''BUBS:''' ''{motioning to his left}'' Well, there's a bunch of my aught-four crap in that filthy box over there. Gotta make room for the aught-five crap!

''{Homestar walks over to the box, clearly labelled "aught four crap", and kneels down. The camera switches to inside the box looking out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what do we got here? ''{pulls out electrical tape}'' Electrical tape? Pom-Pom loves electrical tape. What else, what else? ''{pulls out a steak knife}'' Ooh, rusty steak knife. That's got Coach Z written all over it.

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z is sitting on the bench in front of a TV dinner on a TV tray.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh, salisbury steak. Ring ring! ''{Picks up a phone with frayed wires, not attached to anything}'' Hellor? Ooh, Mom! Well, a very cheery Decemberween to you too! ''{shakes his head}'' Oh, Dad, it's you. Sorry about that. Yes, sir, I cooked a turkey, with the gravied yams and stuffinged ham. No, I'm not alone. Yes, this phone is plugged in.

''{The lights suddenly go out.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, crackles. ''{Dejectedly}'' I forgot to pay my bills again this year...

''{Cut back to Bubs' concession stand. Homestar pulls out a banana with an arrow through it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Bubs, check this out. For the Poopsmith who has everything...!

'''BUBS:''' You give me anything in that box, you'll be gettin' a kick in the skull with a ribbon on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right. Ribbons. Bubs loves ribbons. Lessee...Strong Sad. Don't need to worry about Strong Sad.

''{Cut to an old fashioned bathtub with chains holding the boards covering the top in place.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing, from locked inside the tub}'' One night in Bangkok and the rough got rougher!

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is sitting on the couch sporting Decemberween lights in her hair.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' If Homestar doesn't get here soon with my present, I'm gonna' cook his goose.

''{Homestar runs in and trips, falling flat on his face in front of Marzipan. He gets up in a daze and hands Marzipan a wrapped present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{groggily}'' Happy Decemberween, Marzi-man.

''{Homestar falls back on the floor and Marzipan opens the present.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sounding disappointed}'' Wire cutters...?

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Foolish Homestar. Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents! ''Good presents!'' Not this last-minute discount crap you're trying to foist on us!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, Homestar, it's perfect!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It is? ''{Homestar shakes his head a few times in disbelief of his blind luck}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is just what I need to free the baby seals from the crab traps down at the wharfs. ''{Marzipan walks off, singing to herself}'' Free the baby seals...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, shut my mouth.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well well, Strong-o Bad-o. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{brandishing his Grabbo Arm}'' Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes, ''{extends the arm}'' and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.

''{The Grabbo Arm comes back with Marzipan's purse.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No skin off my back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks! ''{Poke Homestar with Marzipan's purse}'' Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{increduously}'' There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, crap! I forgot to get everyone presents!

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, crap! There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?!

''{Homestar Runner runs back behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seriously. Like until New Year's.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, crap! there's only seven minutes left...

''{scene fades to black.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't know we had any wharfs.

''{The camera returns to Homestar's clock, which displays the number of minutes remaining until Decemberween/Christmas ends. The back button appears.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Homestar's Clock" at the end to see what happened to the three main characters left out of this toon.
:''{The King of Town, the Poopsmith, and Pom-Pom sit around a table in what is probably the King of Town's castle, two cans labeled "gravied yams" and "stuffinged ham" on the table. On the wall behind them is a sign that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Pass the gravied yams, please. And don't bogart that stuffinged ham neither!

== Fun Facts ==
*The toy on the floor in the Strongs' living room is a [http://www.constructiontoys.com/store/capsela.php Capsela] set, a module-based construction set which can be used to make portable fans, real floating boats, all manner of wheel and caterpillar-driven vehicles, and even remote-controlled robots. It appears as though their set in particular was used to make a boat (the "balloon" capsules on the bottom are a dead giveaway).
*Strong Sad being locked in the bathtub is a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], when he says that's what his brothers do to him every Decemberween.
*The song Strong Sad sings in the bathtub is "One Night in Bangkok," which is from the musical ''Chess''. It became a number one hit for Murray Head in 1984, and was composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bj�rn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. However, the lyric he sings was not part of the original song: the similar line is, "One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble."
*At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] shows how many minutes are left of Decemberween. The clock runs on your computer's clock and counts down to midnight on December 26. If the time runs out, the clock reads "It's Over", then starts over from 525,600 minutes left. (525,600 minutes is 365 days.) You can also force it to say "It's Over" if you right-click on the toon and pick "Play" from the menu (only works if viewing the flash file directly).
*The outside of [[Homestar's House]] in the Decemberween toons looks nothing like the outside of his house in the other toons. Here and in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], the house has white paneling, unlike his usual red with white polka-dotted house. This one most resembles the house pictured in [[Three Times Halloween Funjob]].
*[[Homestar's House | Homestar's room]] is up a flight of stairs, so it's probably on the second floor.

=== Other Things of Interest ===
*Even though Strong Bad was unaware of wharfs in Free Country, USA, he is somewhat aware of the presence of docks, as seen in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. Also, The Strong Bad mentioned the wharf in [[radio]].
*Homestar has somehow got Cinnamon on his face again. He doesn't have to shave according to the [[caper]] easter egg.
*Homestar's pajamas are exactly like the ones Michael Jackson wore in the "Beat It" music video.
*The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons.
*Homsar's line "Alms for the pudgy!" is a reference to the common call in Ye Olde London Towne "Alms for the poor!" (as shown in Christmas Carol and others).
*The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].
** This, and the phone without the wire, is a reference to a disturbingly dark cartoon "Saled Fingers" who enjoys touching rusty objects and once used a phone very similar.
*The Cheat with antlers and a red nose makes him dressed as Rudolph
*This is one of the very few times when we see the inside of Homestar's house, and the first time we see his bedroom. The others are [[radio]] and [[caper]], and a very brief part of the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]]
*This episode marks Homsar's first appearance in a Decemberween 'toon.
*Strong Bad's Grabbo Arm makes the same noises as Homestar's tricked-out propeller cap in [[car]].
*The dripping during Strong Sad's scene is the same sound used in [[Main Page 14]].
*Strong Mad's rock is a reference to "Pet Rocks" which were popular in the mid-70's.
*It's odd considering that [[Homestar]]'s tear-away calendar says it's the 25th, but he went to bed on the 24th and didn't wake up until the 25th, which means he couldn't change it. (Then again, he could have changed it before going to sleep and forgot.)
*Homestar's bunny slippers have the eyes and ears upside down relative to one another. This is also true in [[caper]].
*Apparently [[Free Country, USA]] has a wharf, although Strong Bad didn't know this either, despite him appearing in a boat in both [[lures & jigs]] and [[montage]].
*The sound quality is higher than normal, resulting in crisper sound compared to other toons on the site.
*This is the first main Decemberween 'toon that does not end in a multi-character holiday greeting.
*Homestar's comment to Strong Bad referring to himself as the "ol' captain of the team" is also referenced in TBC's interview with [http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,59261,00.html Wired]
*The King of Town is the only main character not even mentioned in the main toon.
*The Cheat has the least screentime. He's there for two seconds. Still, though the scene with Strong Sad locked in the bathtub lasts about six seconds, he is not actually seen at all.
*The cup of eggnog The Cheat is holding is the same one from [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*Unless there are things we can't see, every question Coach Z answers on the phone is false.
*The "gravied yams" and "stuffing ham" that Coach Z speaks of on the phone are in the Easter Egg.
*Homsar 'ringing' the paintbrush may be a reference to the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz sync. One of the syncs is a paintbrush being moved up and down, and a bell ringing.

'''Strong Bad Email #120'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]]/[[The Deathly Pallor]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (Easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

Strong Bad gives some advice on how to be a radio host, in various genres.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

''{types in "strongbad_email.exe"}''

<pre>subject: radio
Dear Strong Bad,
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give
them any pointers on what they can say/do on their show?
bowing to you
Fraser, Scotland</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead, $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we got some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' Oooh, these guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it! ''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi-ball! ''{throws his glass at radio}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then, there's the utter misery that is college radio. Where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track... ''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' six... "It Made Quite a Dish."

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... ca... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in 5 words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is an, um, er... an... an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox. Strong Sad hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{Cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone.}''

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, ''{Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste logo appears}'' we join The Fish down at the wharfs as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The [[Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste|Portly Washboy]] logo appears again. It depicts a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy: Don't eat it like the cartoon man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

<pre>Click here to e-mail Strong Bad
strongbad@homestarrunner.com</pre>

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a T-shirt from WA3D FM "The Sturge."
*Click on "The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish" to show a Dr. Seuss-style children's book of the same name. It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after [[The Paper]] comes down to see them.
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the craze that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two, "The Sturge." Don't you touch that BLABITTABLOUGH!
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blabittablough?
* Click on "me" after The Paper comes down to see more of old-timey Strong Bad.
:'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!
:''{Portly Washboy Laundry Paste theme song plays over radio}''
:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The rah-dio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==

*After the test sentence disappears, you can still click where it was to show the children's book.
*The left sleeve of Strong Sad's radio T-shirt disappears during parts of that Easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (See the article image above.)
*Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00 am, and strangely, he is already up and having a drink.
*The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy."'' This must be the totebag Marzipan's missing.
**The whole totebag thing may be a hint to [[for kids]] where Homsar claimed that he was one himself.
*"Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds).
**This is a reference to the belief that "the camera adds ten pounds."
*There is a real news radio station transmitting from Cleveland, OH with the call letters WSBD. The Brothers Chaps most likely did not know about this, as SBD can easily stand for '''S'''trong '''B'''a'''d'''.
*Homestar must be a terrific athlete if he can nail a glass on a radio with a totebag over his head.

=== References ===
==== To other cartoons ====

*This is the second time Strong Sad has confused Strong Mad by saying something weird. The first was in [[caffeine]], after he said "parakeet."
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the Easter egg for [[action figure]], and from the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The college radio station, [[WSBD|89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU]], refers to [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*The [[Trivia Time]] cookie jar appears in Marzipan's kitchen.
*Homestar's command of "shut it up" is a reference to The Cheat's [[crazy cartoon]].
*Homestar's annoyance with his clock radio seems to reference [[sibbie]], where, after Strong Bad smashes the boombox, Homestar tells him "I've just about had it with that talking toaster."
*This is the second time we've seen the interior of Homestar's House. The first was in [[caper]], when Strong Bad and The Cheat tried to steal his Jumbles. Apparently, someone fixed his cow lamp, which is seen at the righthand side of the screen.
*Strong Sad refers to himself as "[[The Deathly Pallor]]," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].
*Strong Bad says the words "absolutely nothing" exactly the same way in the email [[website]].
*"progrum" is also a referance to "Strong Bad Type Interview Progrum" from [[pizzaz]]
*Right at the very end of the chanting, one can hear the first two notes of the "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" theme song, as seen in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*Strong Bad being annoyed with Strong Sad for calling him "Senator" is a refrence to [[car]] where Strong Sad is annoyed with Strong Bad for calling him "Gron Sad."
*The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the [[Videlectrix]] theme.

==== To real things ====

* A [[Wikipedia:Highball_glass|highball glass]] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails. Homestar's glass, therefore, isn't a highball at all; it's a "Rocks Glass," which are generally short and stout.
** Homestar's glass is the same one The Cheat had on the table in [[montage]] while smoking.
*Marzipan's reference to the totebag has to do with public radio and/or TV stations often having on-air fundraisers where they offer gifts for different levels of donations.
*The book "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" (see Easter Eggs) is a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]'s books, even down to the name of the author, [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Lem 'The Crazy Prof.' Sportsinterviews]].
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.
* Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting clich�. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot," sounding like intense hisses, the mic can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness."
*"PRS" is a playful combination of [http://www.pbs.org PBS], the Public Broadcasting Service, and [http://www.pri.org PRI], Public Radio International.
*The "UN Secretary Council" represents a mix between the [http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sg/ UN Secretary-General] and the [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ UN Security Council], both of which sound similar and frequently make headlines on PBS and PRI.
*The voice-over telling the viewer what the test phrase is is a reference to game shows like "[[Wikipedia:Password (game)|Password]]," where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.
*Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, "The Sturge" is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon| sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077097/ WKRP in Cincinnati]'' had the mascot "the WKRP Carp."
*"Heckle or jeckle" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].
*In the old-timey Strong Bad Easter Egg, the way that Strong Bad pronounces radio ("rah-dio") is the same as how Nick Niespodziani of [http://www.pleaserock.com Y-O-U] pronounces it in the song [http://www.pleaserock.com/downloads/radio.mp3 Radio]. Y-O-U was the band that worked with [[The Brothers Chaps]] on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].


==== Possible references ====

*Sir Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon "The Wacky Races." Sir Strong Bad may be partially based on Dick Dastardly, as they share many characteristics.

*89.3 is a real radio station in Atlanta, which, like college radio, has very bad hosts.
**There are actually lots of 89.3 radio stations around the country, and many of them are bound to be college stations. The low end of the FM radio spectrum (from 88.1-91.9) is reserved for non-commercial stations, such as college radio, public radio, or Christian stations.
*"The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" might be a reference to the short-lived Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action series called [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7740/ Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation]
**The quote can be seen [http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Underworld/6703/page70.html here].
*"Four and twenty stone" may be a reference to the nursery rhyme "Sing a song of sixpence" which tells of "four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie."

The Virus

Dex — Wed, 29 Dec 2004 18:37:30 GMT

Dex: /* Harmful Effects of The Virus(es)(as seen in virus and [[Main Page 22) */

[[Image:sbemail118.png|left|thumb|Edgarware's faliure]]
[[Image:main22.PNG|right|thumb|The Virus(es) in action]]
A ravenous computer virus that infected the [[Compy 386]]. [[Edgarware]] was not a match for it, as it split into 423,827 viruses. That big number was too much for the Compy 386 to handle, because the viruses swarmed out and began infecting the [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar universe]] and turned the computer into a physical manifastation of the orignal that looked like the Compy 386. However, it was no match for [[Bubs]] and his [[Bubs' shotgun|shotgun]], which destroyed the viruses and the Compy 386.
One virus survived and is multipling, as seen in Main Page 22.

==Harmful Effects of The Virus(es)(as seen in [[virus]] and [[Main Page 22)==
*It(they) caused the [[Compy 386]]'s screen to turn into liquid, and thus it "peed the carpet"
*It(they) revealed the underlying gridwork of the table, causing it to look like it ate the floppy disk container, in reality it(they) took it.
*It(they) turned the "No Loafing!" sign into HTML code.
*It(they) caused [[Strong Sad]]'s head to float about a foot left of where it should be. It(they) also turned his head into emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]], complete with description. Eventually it(they) turned him into a trading card and made it fly up to the top of the screen.
*It(they) made the tippy top of a main page creep in to the top of the computer room, turning the "Go on And see What's New!" into "Stave it off, 123" from [[for kids]], glitching up the quote of the week(caused the box to turn backwards, bounce around the screen till it got lodged at the top, and replace "Get it" with "Don't TAPE it!", also, clicking on "Hear it" caused a broom from [[Peasant's Quest]] to scroll across the screen and emit the glitchy noise that [[Marzipan]] would have), Weekly Fanstuff(it became an upside down picture of [[Coach Z]] with his arms wrapped around a white space that looks like [[King of Town]]'s head, with the description of "Stick to your Books" in the font "MS Font Specialty", and misspelled the Close button. Scrolling over it caused the words "A BOOK" to appear in green.), and the Sketchbook(it was simply a flash color mixer. Scrolling over it caused a green X to appear).
*It(they) seperated the computer room from most of the site, making [[Strong Bad]] fall out of the room and into the black. He tried to get back in, but The Virus(es) merely moved the room to the left.
*It(they) caused Homestar's body to be replaced with 1936 Homestar's, and it(they) made him to glide across the screen instead of walking, causing ghost images of himself. It(they) also made his head fall off.
*It(they) allowed Homestar to pick up the words from the bottom menu.
*It(they) spawned several pop-ups of old-school Homestar saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!"
*It(they) turned [[Marzipan]] into an ASCII picture of herself, and caused her to talk really deep and slow.
*It(they) shoved [[Strong Mad]] into his "M" and caused his old Character description to appear at the top of his "M" prison. It(they) also gave him [[Homsar]]'s walking sound.
*It(they) teleported the [[King of Town]] into [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue pi.
*It(they) captured [[The Poopsmith]].
*It(they) allowed [[The Ugly One]] to not talk in word balloons, and it(they) made her mouth huge and disproportioned. It(they) also made her to slap the KoT a'la what Strong Bad did to Homestar in [[crazy cartoon]].
*It(they) split the H*R Loading screen to reveal the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message from old computers.
*A number of things happened to [[Bubs]]: his face became a broken jpeg, his arms were stuck in perpetual motion (like in [[Dancin' Bubs]] ), there was no body where his belt was, and his legs were like in a 3D movie.
*It(they) turned [[The Field]] into a glitchy cloud place, where a number of things happened: [[Strong Bad]] became extremely glitchy and disproportioned, and his left arm flew around the screen, while saying "With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition!" from [[The Reddest Radish]], while [[The Cheat]] rotated through several versions of himself and floated around the screen randomly, and a pitch black [[Rather Dashing]] and a colon flew across the screen repeatedly.
*It(they) caused the [[Museum]] logo to fall and crush several links.

Block

Dex:

[[Image:block_computer.PNG|thumb|[[Strong Bad]] answering an email on the Block]]

'''Block''' is the computer [[Strong Bad]] uses to answer email from his Eastern European viewers, "across the pond." It has been seen only in the email "[[other days]]".

== Fun Facts ==
*The term "Block" is probably in reference to Poland (and most of Eastern Europe) being once part of the "Soviet Bloc".
*This is Strong Bad's only "real life" computer that you cannot click on in some way.
*This seems to be a mix between the [[Compy 386]] and the [[Tandy 400]]. It's black & white, but there are lines going across the screen.
*The question mark (?) is much less wide than the other characters (letters and numbers and punctuation).

''{Open to a shot of the Compy 386 at an angle. The text on the screen reads "baleeted." A 2-liter of Mountain Dew is nearby, and slowly leaking all over the computer desk and two floppies reading "where's an egg" and "peasant's quest." Slowly pans to Homestar at the computer.}''

''{As he pounds his head on the keyboard, the text "whateeted," "is leted," "thateeted," "OUCH!," "my teeth!," and "my butt!!" appears on the screen. The Compy 386 then displays its Flagrant Error screen. The camera has now panned to the door. Strong Bad walks in and views this spectacle}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How do you keep getting in here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno... picked the lock?

TROGDOR!

Dex — Mon, 27 Dec 2004 16:34:04 GMT

Dex:

[[Image:trogdorgame.png|thumb|Trogdor!]]

== Summary of this Game ==

This game is based on the character of [[Trogdor]] from the [[dragon|Strong Bad Email Dragon]]. You follow Trogdor, squishing peasants and burninating cottages, all while avoiding knights and archers.

'''Page Title:''' TROGDOR!!!

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Togdor_secret.png|thumb|If you score more than 2000 points and die, [[Jonathan Howe]]'s name is shown]]
*Click and hold the "G" in the TROGDOR title to see some game hints.
*On the title screen, you can use the Konami Code (up up down down left right left right B A, and "click to" start). This will start you off with 30 lives.
*During the game you can hit the "k" key to kick the game. This doesn't seem to give you any advantage, but it does cause the machine to repeat the word "TROGDOR!"
*Treasure Huts! You can enter certain huts and pick-up gold! To get to it you must burninate certain huts that block them, and then let the burnination shut off, otherwise you will burn the treasure hut as well. On level 7, it's the leftmost hut. Burninate the 4 huts in the way. On level 11, it's the lower right hut. Burninate the huts around it. On level 16, it's the upper left hut. Burninate the three huts in the way. It appears that you can only enter one hut per game.

== Fun Facts ==
*There are a number of funny interludes after the following levels:
**Level 4 - "stompin' good"
::''{A lone peasant is on the left side of the screen. Trogdor approaches from the right with two knights in hot pursuit. Trogdor stomps the peasant and then turns to burninate the knights as they retreat.}''
:*Level 8 - "fry 'em up Dan"
::''{Trogdor is in the middle of the screen. Four peasants approach one by one from the left and are burninated.}''
:*Level 12 - "parade of trogdors"
::''{Nine Trogdors parade from right to left across the screen.}''
:*Level 16 - "dancin' time"
::''{Trogdor breaks it down surrounded by ten burninated peasants and two knights}''
:*Level 20 - "flex it troggie"
::''{Trogdor flexes his beefy arm.}''
:*Level 24 - "peasant dominoes"
::''{Seven peasants are in a line. Trogdor burninates the peasant on the right. The peasant to the left of the burninated peasant catches fire as the first peasant falls over. This effect dominoes down the line of peasants until they all fall over.}''
:*Level 30 - "trogdor incognito"
::''{Two peasants approach each other from opposite sides of the screen and stop in the middle. The peasant on the left burninates the peasant on the right. The peasant on the right runs off. The peasant on the left hops up and down.}''
:*Level 34 - "go trogdor # 2!"
::''{Seven peasants are hopping up and down as two Trogdors race across the screen from left to right. Trogdor number two wins the race.}''
:*Level 38 - "forbidden peasant love"
::''{Two peasants enter the screen from the right with a heart between them. As they reach the middle of the screen, a blue knight runs on screen and takes the peasant on the left away. The heart disappears as the peasant that was on the right is left alone.}''
:*Level 42 - "2 cottages"
::''{Two cottages appear.}''
:*Level 46 - "a funny joke"
::''{A knight is minding his own business on the left side of the screen. Out of nowhere, an archer appears on the right side of the screen and begins to shoot five arrows off of the knight's helmet. The archer leaves and the knight turns to face the spot where he was to find no one is there.}''
:*Level 50 - "smote that kerrek!"
::''{Trogdor is on screen with The Kerrek. The Kerrek bounces up and down a few times before Trogdor burninates him.}''
::'''Strong Bad:''' Mmmm! Roast Kerrek!
:*Level 100 - ''{A tiny arcade game Strong Bad enters the screen from the right.}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? What am I doing in this game?

::''{Arcade Strong Bad moves his arms up and down as the text "congratulations. you got good score" appears}

::'''GAME:''' Congratulations. You got good score.

::''{roll credits}''

::'''cast:'''

::''{Trogdor appears}''

::'''trogdor'''

::''{A peasant appears}''

::'''perez'''

::''{A slightly different peasant appears}''

::'''hackworth'''

::''{An on-fire peasant appears}''

::''' 'the steve' '''

::''{A blue knight appears}''

::'''the blue knight'''

::''{A more different blue knight appears}''

::'''the red knight'''

::''{Two archers appear, joined at their torso}''

::'''the siamese archers'''

::''{The Kerrek appears, and is burninated. His ashes form a roast The Kerrek, complete with apple in mouth.}''

::'''and Wordly Wise as The Kerrek'''

::''{Trogdor and Arcade Strong Bad appear at an angle}''

::'''keep playing!'''

::''{The game advances to the high score screen}''

*Strong Bad will say things while you play. Here's a list:
**"Aw, this is the worst game I've ever played!"
**"Ohh.. this is the best game I've ever played."
**"Stupid, freakin' knights."
**"Squished you, peasanty."
**"I squish you"
**"Oh, yes! And the Trogdor comes in the niiight!"
**"Oh, Trogdor! I pine for you."
**"A Squisha Squisha"
**"The tables have turned!" (when you get burninate power)
**"Ugh, stupid arch-deluxe."
**"Ugh, nothing more humiliating then getting killed by the archer...arch deluxe...show you next time!"
**"Deuce!"
**"What the? What am I doing in this game?!"
**"Mmmmm, roast Kerrek!"
**''{laughing}'' He's on fire! Look at 'em burning!"
**"Beat that score, Strong Sad!"
***'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't even want to play that game.

*The "Arch-Deluxe" is a reference to an old McDonald's Burger called the Arch Deluxe.
*"Oh, Trogdor! I pine for you." is a reference to [[trevor the vampire]].
*"Fry 'em up Dan" is a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shel_Silverstein Shel Silverstein]'s poem "Ladies First".
*Pausing sometimes causes a purple ball to become visible on the screen.
*Lev. 27 is well nigh impossible. The peasant-paths are only accessible for 2 of the 6 cottages, so for every peasant you squish there are 2 left to wander back into their cottages (diminishing your burninator meter). Meanwhile, the cottages themselves wall you in to a very small area, making you a sitting duck for archers and knights.
*This game is supposed to be a parody of the numerous HORRIBLY made arcade and atari games made in the wake of the success of Atari, when many companies made quick bad games to cash in on the video game craze in the early 80's that crashed when the Atari 2600 died (The video game industry was reborn circa 1985 when the NES was released).
*Jonathan Howe's name being an easter egg is actually a reference to Adventure for the Atari 2600. When it was made Atari intentionally kept game designers from achieving celebrity status. In rebellion to this, Warren Robinett hid his name inside what is commonly regarded as the first easter egg. It was only accessible by picking up an invisible object, carrying it through a dragon infested maze, and touching it to a blank wall. Doing this revealed a room with Warren's name plastered all over in rainbow colors.
*Wordly Wise is a series of textbooks desiged to build student's vocabulary. What this has to do with the Kerrek is unknown.

== Glitches ==
*If you pause the game (using the space bar) when the archer is out pulling his bow, he will get stuck there until the end of the level, even if you die on that level.
*If you die as soon as you achieve burnination status, you will come back to life with burnination, assuming you have any mans left.

'''Strong Bad Email #78'''

Strong Bad gets the week off as Homestar fills in, and discusses the finer points of frying computer parts with carbonated beverages.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Cheat]]

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Compy 386; Strong Bad is absent. Homestar Runner walks in and sits down at the computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello, class. Strong Bad could not be here today, so I will be filling in. My name is Homestar Runner. ''{with a piece of chalk he writes his name on the screen, then erases it.}'' Everyone please take out paper and a number 2 pencil, and we'll begin. ''{Homestar types "sb_enail.com", rather than the usual "strongbad_email.exe", to run the e-mail program, and strangely enough, it works.}'' Lesson one:

''{He begins reading the e-mail.}''

<pre>hi Strong Bad,</pre>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stops reading}'' Um, I do believe I just told you my name is Homestar Runner. But I'll let it slide this time. ''{resumes reading}''

<pre>have you ever made anything out of anything?
bye
Dan from FL</pre>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' FL? Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? ''{stops typing}'' Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake. ''{resumes typing}'' Well, Jerome, I once made a birthday present for Marzipan out of some of my old CD's I didn't like anymore and placed them in a decorative bag. ''{stops typing}'' And then ''{resumes typing}'' I once made breakfast out of cold pizza and half and half. Oh! And one time I made a whole set of coasters out of ''{cut to some glasses of melonade sitting on game cartridges}'' some old Sega tapes. And I made a pair of shoes --

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Sad out in the field talking. Strong Sad has a Foreign Leadership Camp '91 T-shirt on. Homestar walks on wearing shoe-boxes for shoes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continues in voice-over}'' -- out of a pair of shoe-boxes.

'''COACH Z:''' Whoa, those are some fresh kicks there, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, I know! ''{walks off}''

'''COACH Z:''' So anyways, Reg had the ball at the top o' the key.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing at Compy again}'' But this week, I will instruct you on how to make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer.

''{The Cheat walks on in a red outfit, but is instantly knocked off-screen when Homestar stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First, you need a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Then get Strong Bad's computer. Apply liberally. ''{starts pouring Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's keyboard, a ringing noise is heard.}'' Oops, we're out of time.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off screen}'' That's just my egg-timer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Class dismissed! ''{glaring at the screen angrily}'' Except for you, Jerome!

''{The paper comes down. The Mountain Dew continues to be poured into Strong Bad's keyboard. After around 10 seconds or so of this...}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang. This thing's like... the never-ending soda. ''{sings}'' Never-ending so-oda! A-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a...

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the words "fish lake" to see a postcard from there. (Fish!)

*To see the wonderful CD collection Homestar gave Marzipan, click on "CD"

*Wait around at the end, it's not over!

== Fun Facts ==
*When you change the contrast on the Compy 386, Homestar's reflection doesn't change.

*Homestar successfully runs the email by typing ''run "sb_enail.com"'', even though Strong Bad couldn't run the email with a far less obvious error in the email [[funny]].

*This is thus far the only email without Strong Bad in it.

*The easter egg at the end is a reference to "The Never Ending Story" movies, particularly the [http://users.pandora.be/soundtrack-fm/Reviews/Klaus_Doldinger/neverending_story/neverending_story.htm title theme] from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088323/ the first movie].

*The names of the "Sega tapes" are actually the following [[Videlectrix]] games: [[Pigs on Head]], Shploitz!, and Qwerty. The one that says just "Space" could be "Spaceshipper", also a Videlectrix game.

*Coach Z's line, "Reg had the ball at the top of the key," is a direct quote from Strong Bad's [[autobiography]] tape.

*[[Far Off Lands]] is a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], where they travel through this area.

*Strong Sad is wearing a shirt that says "Foreign Leadership Camp '91" as in reference to when Homestar was guessing what FL was.

* Jerome later pops up as a misbehaving kid on the Strong Bad Sings CD version of the Strong Badia National Anthem.

* The floppy in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is labeled "The 7th Guest". This game was one of the first games available exclusively on CD-ROM and not really practical to put onto floppies.

*One of the shoe boxes on Homestar's feet is from [[Freshley's]].

*The Cheat is wearing George Harrison's costume from the Beatles album [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002UAU/qid=1103085788/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-3214923-3104802?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band].

*The Email is from Dan from FL, and Homestar addresses him as Jerome right after he reads the email.

== DVD Version ==
*The Fish Lake and "Old People Music" CD eggs are still viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version features hidden commentary by Mike and Strong Bad. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===

Homestar's '''Mountain Dew''' was first mentioned in [[techno]], where [[Strong Bad]] told [[The Cheat]] to break it open and pour it in Homestar's Mountain Dew. Its first appearance wasn't until [[anything]] where [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] applied it liberally onto the [[Compy 386]].

== Detailed Information ==
'''Album''': [[Strong Bad Sings CD]] 
'''Track''': 19 
'''Time''': 3:02 
'''Artist''': [[Strong Bad]] 
'''Style''': Ska/Gospel 

'''Origin''': Extended version of the song from [[Strong Bad Email]] #68 [[caper]]

== Lyrics ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, man. Where did we go wrong? Seems like just yesterday we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears. 
'''STRONG SAD:''' That WAS yesterday! 
'''STRONG BAD:''' This one's for you.

''{singing}'' 
I got mad at The Cheat (Uh!) 
For screwing up the Jumble caper (Uh!)
I hope I don't see his name in the paper 
In the obituaries, cause that would mean he's dead 

The Cheat is not dead 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not dead ('''STRONG SAD:''' Dead!) 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not dead ('''STRONG MAD:''' Dead!) 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not- 
''{spoken}'' Just the claps! Just the claps! Uh! Uh! Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm. 
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh sure, I got tons of rhythm! 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh! Uh! All right guys, keep it rollin' for me. Keep it rollin! Come on!

''{singing}'' 
I cracked wise at The Cheat 
But in my defense he cracked wise at me first 
I hope he doesn't end up in a hearse 
At the cemetery, 'cause once again that would mean that he's dead

''{choir joins in}'' 
The Cheat is not dead 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not dead (''{spoken}'' Whoa, where'd this choir come from?) 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not dead (''{spoken}'' You guys sound great!) 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not dead 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not deeaaad 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead 
The Cheat is not deeeaad 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not deeeeeeeaaaaaaaad

Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No The Cheat's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
The Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Ohhh, he's dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
I said The Cheat's not dead now! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No she's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Let's call the store! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Check the receipts! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Got the frozen food! (Cheat is not dead!) 
The Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Well The Cheat's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No, he's never been dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Said The Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Whoaaa, dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
Whoa, he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No, he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No, he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!) 
No, The Cheat is not dead! 

Cheat is not dead!

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

== Fun Facts ==
*There are a few differences between the first verse of this version of the song and the version heard in [[caper]]:
**In the e-mail's version, the slow keyboard music starts up once Strong Bad actually starts singing, and then switches over to the faster version once he gets to the chorus. In this version, the keyboard starts before Strong Bad has even started talking ("The Cheat, man...") and switches over to the faster version when he starts singing.
**The timing of Strong Bad's first "Uh" is different, occurring closer to the word "Cheat". This is probably to go better with the use of the faster background music rather than the slow version.
**In the e-mail version, first Strong Mad yelled "Dead!" then Strong Sad. In this version, they are reversed.
**Strong Bad didn't say "Uh! Uh!" during the "just the claps" segment in the e-mail.
**In the e-mail, Strong Bad said "All right, keep it rollin' for me guys." On the CD, he says "All right guys, keep it rollin' for me."
*If you listen carefully when Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad about not having any rhythm you can hear someone telling someone else when to clap.

Dex: /* Fun Facts */

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

'''Strong Bad Email #119'''

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

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

== Transcript ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everybody! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'' Pocket PCs…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut to Strongbadia.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the word 'cuter' to show a small movie of Homestar's head on a lure next to the dancing girl in a dance club.
:''{The Homestar lure and the dancing woman are at a disco, Powered by The Cheat style. Two disco balls hang from the ceiling and a rough approximation of music is playing.}''
:'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Hey there, Baby Styles. This is a nice dancing club, right? Do you have a phone at your house?
*If you put your mouse pointer on the flashing disco lights, the area around it will change differently from the rest of the lights.
*Click on the words 'The Cheat' to see what the runners-up get.
:''{Cut to the pedestal of The Show again. The fanglyfish is on it.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Second-place contestants receive deep sea fanglyfish. Promotional considerations by Sterrance. Strong Bad's wardrobe furnished by Styles Upon Styles. ''{Some text appears on the screen reading:}''

PROVIDED BY
Styles

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

== Fun Facts ==

*This, obviously, is the end of the [[Compy 386]] era and the beginning of the [[Lappy 486]] era.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container|disks]] read "Future Wars", an old DOS point-and-click adventure game.
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strictly speaking, we shouldn't be able to see Strong Bad's reflection in Lappy's screen, because laptop screens aren't shiny like CRT screens are.
*Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[Senor Cardgage]]'s bizarre usage of common words.
*One of Strong Bad's picks of animal accessories and options is listed as "Segmented Eyes," although he evidently meant "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eyes]]" in his trademark lingo.
*Another one of Strong Bad's animal accessories picks is a 15 Year Drivetrain Warrenty. This is probabbly a refference to the car company [http://www.toyota.com Toyota's] Powertrain Warrenty program.
*Since the proboscis is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The Cheat swimming around in the sea looks like the yellow submarine from the classic animated movie (starring The Beatles), [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063823/ Yellow Submarine].
*The deep-sea fangly fish looks like an [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]].
**Actually, "Fangly Fish" could be Strong-Bad lingo for "Anglerfish", they sound a lot alike.
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The table has been re-drawn by [[TBC]], with thinner lines and no shadow along the back edge. You can see the obvious difference between this and [[virus]].
*The eerie, breezy sound at the beginning originated in [[ghosts]]. It is re-used in [[The System Is Down]] and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE]. However, Strong Bad uses the "strongbad_email.exe" filename, rather than "./strongbad_email", or, more appropriately, "./strongbad-email".
*It looks like all Strong Bad has to do for an email to be "DELETED!" is type "ALT-D" -- as it shows on the bottom of his screen.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*The new page title is a reference to [[the facts]] in which Homestar says "not no more."
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes.
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both Tandy and Compy used to occupy -- which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the computer room.
*In the deep sea fangly fish part, Strong Bad adds a back deck for dinner and dancing. However, this is not on the back of the deep sea fangly fish in the Easter Egg.
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male, yet in the email [[invisibility]] the [[Tandy 400]] says that the printer is a girl.
*"R is for Red steckled elbermung" could possibly be a reference to [[morning routine]] where Strong Bad keeps trying to say what the R in routine stands for.

Pom Pilot

Dex — Sun, 26 Dec 2004 21:54:57 GMT

Dex:

[[Image: Pom Pilot.jpg|right|thumb|The Pom Pilot]]

'''Pom Pilot''' is [[Pom Pom]]'s PDA (personal digital assistant). It's a bit like a Palm Pilot. [[Strong Bad]] uses it to check his email at [[The Stick]] during the [[Strong Bad Email]]: [[the bird]]. It also appears in [[Main Page 22]]. It has links to a game of Solitaire and images of [[Pom Pom's girls|his girls]].

It was once stolen by Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], who kept it [[Behind the Fence]] in the [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
