{{tbd}}
I got this exactly from Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot. This article deserves to be an article. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

Could we just include both of them in a page called Dancin' Musical Nobots? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

:I think that makes sense. Right now, they both appear on [[Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot]], and Strong Bad's definitely has more of a role in [[what I want]]; nevertheless, I don't think one has more of a right to a page than the other. Let's merge them together into [[Dancin' Musical Nobots]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
::We will talk about first. I say maybe. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:::Just as a note, we're not the first ones so suggest this: [[Talk:Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
::::I made the [[Dancin Strong Bad Musical Nobot]] page, and even added the Homestar Nobot in it. I just never really thought of moving the name, but '''this definitely doesn't deserve its own article'''. It is already written in another article (SB Nobot). Let's merge this with the name Trey suggested. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 21:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::Agree with Trey's initial merge suggestion. {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 22:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

==I'm like, come on Deletegads==
Explain to me why this deserves an article, but the other "bad presents" don't get one. The Dancin' Musical Nobots don't have anything that separates them, so '''delete that crap'''. --[[Special:Contributions/209.148.176.136|209.148.176.136]] 00:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
:The Inclusion Guidelines are pretty clear (Specifically Inclusion Guideline #3) H*R Specific iTems, such as Dancin' Musical Nobots deserve inclusion in this wiki. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 04:42, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Flashfight: /* Fun Facts */ Remark concerning Monopoly Money Colour

{{sbenav|203}}
[[File:idependent.png|thumb|"Independent films are called that for a reason: they are independent of anything good!"]]
Strong Bad points out the differences between the two warring types of independent films.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Senor Cardgage}}.

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[The Field]], [[The Movie Theater]]

{{Comp|Compé}}

'''Date:''' Monday, August 10, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 5:20

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
''{The typical shot of Strong Bad at his computer, which is now, of course, the Compé. As it did in [[Compy Catalog]], the logo, which is in lowercase, has "com" in [[Fonts#Westminster|Westminster]], with a gold, pixleated shine, and "pé" is in another italic, serif font, with a silver pixelated shine. This logo pops-up slowly and fades in while a shine appears in the background. The computer sighs as well, and at one point the entire logo shines from left to right, and when reaching the "é" sparkles the accent mark. The logo then retracts itself and fades-out. Shortly afterward, the screen is replaced with a desktop. The wallpaper is a shot of grass (where focus is on the bottom-left corner). There is only one (pixelated) icon on the desktop; on the top-left corner, which shows Strong Bad's head in an envelope, and it is titled "sbemail.exe". A pixelated cursor is seen on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hey!'' Who taped the full-color photo to my computer screen? ''{rubs the screen}'' It won't come off!

''{cut to wider shot. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''What?'' ''{turns towards and points to the Compé}'' Those are actual graphics? ''{turns back to The Cheat}'' ''And'' I can change it to be whatever I want? ''{Turns back towards the Compé}'' ''{singing}'' Oh, best thing ever! ''{Cut back to the tight shot}'' Best thing ever! ''{He moves the mouse and right clicks the screen. A contextual menu appears with the items, from top to bottom, "Options", "Sounds", "Icons", and "Change Desktop".}'' ''{quickly and mumbled}'' this is the best thing ever! ''{Strong Bad moves the mouse northeastward and hovers over the The colors on this option invert. Strong Bad clicks the "Change Desktop" option, and the grass wallpaper is replaced by an image of Strong Bad dancing in [[The Basement]]. It is a close-up of Strong Bad's butt, which has a lens flare on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' To check my email, all gotta do is click. All that old typin' made my boxing gloves sick. ''{Double clicks on a "sbemail.exe" icon. An email pops-up.}''

<blockquote class="compe">
Dear Strong Bad, 
Does Strong Badia ever host an independent film festival? 
-=Evil Gif=-
Phoenix, Arizona
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "a hideous growth on my butt festival?" instead of "an independent film festival?" he corects himself by saying "Err...wait. Independent film festival?" to which he then mumbles "Sorry about that. I get those to mixed up." Instead of "Evil Gif", he says "Evil Moms choose Evil Gif" {Pronounced as "jiff". He will pronounce this the same way later. He pronounces "Phoenix" as "fee-niz"}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Gif, the short answer is no. The ''long'' ''{Not typed in italic}'' answer is ''{Forcefully, after a shot pause.}'' NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ''{After a short delay, he types these four exclamation marks.}'' ''{normally}'' Independent films are called that for a reason: they are ''independent'' of anything ''good'' ''{Not typed in italic}''.

''{Clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And these days, they seemed to be locked in a civil war that will hopefully end in the extermination of both sides. I am, of course talking about independent films versus ''{Types "vs."}'' indie films. "What's the diff?" you may ask? ''{Types a period. He speaks the following quickly.}'' Because apparently you're in a big hurry. ''{Goes back to a normal pace}'' Well, it's as plain as ''{Cut to split shot of Strong Sad in his room with an old film-reel camera at his eye, and Pom Pom in the field with a bottle of water, which he is looking at.}'' Strong Sad and Pom Pom ''{Strong Sad lowers the camera and looks towards the viewer Pom Pom faces towards the camera as well.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

''{The left side of the half, Strong Sad's side, expands to take up the entire screen. We can now see a poster on his wall that reads "DON'T CRY" with a figure on it. There is a dead plant on a square pillar to which Strong Sad is now looking at, and pointing his camera, to.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad is on the independent film side. ''{Strong Sad moves the camera, which has been in his right hand, to the right, where he presses two buttons of some sort. He is now looking at the camera, which is pointed at the plant again.}'' He's the lifer artist-type that went to film school.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I minored in holding on wide shots for too long!

''{There is a two to three second pause.}''

''{Cut to a movie theater screen. A few empty seats are shown on the bottom. On the screen is a black and white movie that consists of the dead plant Strong Sad was filming. There appears to be two puzzle pieces in front of the pot. The film zooms into what appears to be the shadow of the square pillar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And he's making some ''boring'', very personal, ''no budget'' film.

''{Cut to a close-up Strong Sad in his room, still with the camera.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Actually, I've succeeded in going ''lower'' than no budget! I'm making a the world's first faux-budget film! The entire thing's being financed with ''{He pulls up several colored pieces of paper.}'' Monopoly money!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And, best of luck to you.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Pom Pom on the other hand, represents ''indie'' films. The slicker, catchier name they came up with that seems to perform better in the 18 to 24 demo.

''{Cut to Pom Pom in a director's chair facing the film. There is a digital studio camera to the left of him on a tripod. There is a coffee maker on a desk to the right with cups to the left of it. On the right of his chair there is a traditional megaphone. "POM-POM" is stenciled in on the chair. He is talking on his cell phone, with sunglasses it appears, and is holding a water bottle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off screen}'' He's a tech-savvy hipster who's Dad owns his own studio, {''The logo for the studio appears in a corner-curved square (which has a shadow). The name of the studio is "Pom Pictures".}'' and relies on using middle names ''{The stenciled name on the director's chair changes to "POM THOMAS POM" with a popping sound.}'' and/or initials ''{The stencil then changes to "J. POM THOMAS POM"}'' to somehow ''{The stencil changes again to "J. POM THOMAS C. POM".}'' solidify indie cred ''{The final edit to the stencil, "J. WILLIAM POM THOMAS C. POM" appears on the director's chair.}'' He'll ''{There is then a cut to what appears to be a three-ring binder}'' spend a 30 million dollar budget ''{The three-ring binder opens to a page explaining the budget}'', trying as hard as he can to make it ''look'' like he only spent a few hundred thousand.

''{Cut to the movie theater as seem earlier. A penciled and colored animating drawing of the studio logo is shown.}''

Talk:Pistols for Pandas

Flashfight — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:06:35 GMT

Flashfight: /**/Cause I'm don't get the reference

== Lighter mention ==

Does the lighter that Crack Stuntman uses to burn the $1 bill count as an inside reference to the lighters that Strong Bad and The Cheat frequently use?

:That's what I assumed. I'm surprised it's not mentioned!

== Capitalization of title ==

I moved this page to [[Pistols for Pandas]] because that's how it's listed on the Toons menu. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

== Finnaly.... ==
We find out what happened to Crack after [[The Next Epi-Snowed|the incedent]] and learn more about Pistols For Pandas. [[User: MICGAGUH]]

:That's [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum talk], buddy. [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 18:24, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

== South park reference ==

When the stick figure of crack is eating the cereal, the way his mouth/head moves reminds me of the canadians from south park. Not sure it's strong enough of a connection for a reference or not, but thought i'd bring it up. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:It was on the page before, but it got removed.-[[Special:Contributions/170.223.0.54|170.223.0.54]] 22:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

== Swearing? ==
Does the context in which Crack uses "screwed" near the beginning strike anyone else as borderline not-family-friendly? If so, is this notable? -[[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]]21:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:He got screwed out of a job... how is that context not family-friendly? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
::Okay, maybe "context" wasn't the right word, but usually when "screw" is used as a verb that way it has sexual connotations. I dunno, it's just not something I would use in mixed company and struck me as a little odd. -[[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 22:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:::You are incorrect there. It's often used as a term simply implying "cheated" or "taken advantage of". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
::::I get that that's what it meant, but in that sense it's being used metaphorically much in like as a certain four-letter word it's serving as a euphemism for that can be used in the same way and...you know what? I give up. At this point you either know what I'm trying to say or you don't, I don't think anything else I say is going to change things. -[[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 00:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

== Cause I'm don't get the reference ==

Other than the concept of employment and the unusual use of 'I'm', I don't see how this is clearly a reference to Temporari-o's. Can we get a consensus on this? {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 00:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Crack Stuntman standing against a bluish-gray background.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Blah-hi, kids, BLAH'm Crack Stuntman. ''{he holds up one finger}'' I used to do the voice of Cheat Commander on the cartoon man show until contractual mumbo-jumbo screwed me out of the sweetest gig I ever had! ''{pleading}'' Please take me back!

''{Cut}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{smiling}'' But I'm also the voice of a much more important nonprofit organization called— ''{shocked and mad}'' ''Nonprofit?!'' What the bluh-what?! But ''I'm'' still get paid, right?

''{Cut}''

''{Crack is now in expensive sunglasses and his shirt pocket is stuffed with dollar bills}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' But I'm also the voice of a non-profit organisation called Pistols for Pandas, ''{Pistols for Pandas logo appears to his left}'' that I hold very near and dear to my new sunglasses.

''{Crack turns, and scene changes}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' In light of the recent made-up holiday ''{a card for "ERF DAY" appears}'' designed to make your parents feel guilty about their car, I thought I'd tell you just how P-for-P gets small firearms into the paws of our planet's most adorable, and most unarmed, creatures.

''{Scene changes to stickmen drawings - one has a baseball cap on, the other's head it Crack's}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' For every dollar you give to Pistols For Pandas, we laugh at, cuz, like, what good's a dollar gonna do? But for every ''five'' dollars you give, we buy one box of cereal with the best prize in it. I eat said cereal, play with the prize, and save the box top. Once we have enough box tops, I dress up like a fifth grader and take them to a local school. That buys the school a computer, which I sneak out with after charming the horn-rimmed glasses off the media centre ladies. I take these computers to a local pawn shop, and exchange them for the weapons pandas need. And finally, when nobody's looking, I dump these pistols into the panda habitat down at the local zoo. ''{zoom on Crack's face}'' Did you hear that? I used the word "local" like three times. That means this good cause is even upittier than most! ''{buzzer sound is heard, and a box displaying "Buzzword Rated", and three leaves each containing the word "local" come down onto the right side of the screen}''

''{Cut back to real Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' We're destroying these poor creatures faster than ever before. If we don't give them the means to protect themselves when we come clear-cut their bamboo forests and build a five-star resort, who will?

''{a tray with a two-layered cocktail on it slides into view}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' IIIIIII said several limes! This is two limes!

''{while this is said, the bamboo behind Crack is chopped down}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Pistols For Pandas: This good cause is good...'cause!

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on the panda nose at the end of the toon to see this exchange between Silent Rip and Gunhaver.
*:'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, Cheat Commander, are we supposed to be fighting the pandas or helping them?
*:'''GUNHAVER:''' Who cares? I'm just psyched I got my old job back! I love voice acting! ''{babbles}'' Look at that sweet, sweet lip synch.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This toon was released around [[Wikipedia:Earth Day|Earth Day]], which usually involves caring for the planet and its wildlife.
*"Local" is described as a buzzword due to the increasing popularity of [[Wikipedia:Localism (politics)|localism]], such as the [[Wikipedia:Local food|local food]] movement.

===Inside References===
*[[Pistols For Pandas (organization)|Pistols for Pandas]] was first referenced in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*Crack Stuntman mentions losing his contract to do Gunhaver's voice, which references the disappearance of his character because of his uncooperativeness in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].

*The Easter egg in Tub Bites 2 is a parody of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], featuring calls from parodies of Strong Bad, the King of Town, Homsar, Coach Z and Strong Sad.

The update of March 1, 2007, [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/steve-movie-blog.php Steve's Movie Review Blog], contains reference to the [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

Homestar appears in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/internet-cartoon-2000.php Funny Housemates 2] and [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/housemates-cartoon-3.php Funny Housemates 999]. He looks like Homestar, but acts more like Homsar.

I think that when Marzipan notes that Homestar Runner will be able to eat brunch with her at her parents' house, the small wisp of black smoke that rises from above his head resembles a climber on the mountain in the final frame before the smoke disappears.

Everything needs to be documented, the only question is how much weight the thing gets. Grouping this things that we are unlikely to see again together is a good idea, however naming and formating needs to be standardized.[[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 03:52, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

What's wrong with this page? It lists unnamed characters. What if people want to know how many unnamed characters there are? I really don't think it needs to be deleted. -[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]]

He's right. With this, we'll be able to delete the individual pages, and the bandwidth will never be exceeded again! Besides, what kind of heartless jerks are you, to leave these pageless characters out on "the streets"? What if somebody wanted to delete a page you like? Think about that. --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:34, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Who cares if some user likes a page? That doesn't stop us. They'll (you'll) just have to go along with it. Big deal. And you're way off if you think deleting a couple of pages will stop bandwith problems. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 00:59, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is a legitmate, good, article that has a lot of information and does NOT deserve to be deleted. Come on. It's a great page!
-[[User: Tapd260]]

According to a certain quote on [[Talk:Main_Page_Characters|this page]], we may be planning to move "Main Page Characters" here [Note: this has happened]. Therefore I think it would be a good Idea to keep one of them here - probably this one - so we kan move one of them to the other so we won't lose them both. They may be useful to us later. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 22:07, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC) POST #2= --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 23:01, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Please, if just for the sake of the '''little unamed girl with a [[Wikipedia:medallion|medal]]''', let us keep this page, so that it may grow in its [[Wikipedia:anonymous|anonymity]] and the anonymity of these wonderful, unknown characters.

'''Keep.''' We have other lists, why not one more? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:55, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

'''Keep as is''' This page has merit. There will be other unnamed characters in the future, and if you delete this, where will we put them? also, this page will be expanded when the main page characters page gets moved to here. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

We should keeep this page. It tells info about characters with no name. Without this, where will the info of those characters go?

I say we should keep this page. Even the most unpopular characters shoud have some information! -[[User:Lotionman|Lotionman]] 17:38, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)Lotionman

== Dullard characters ==

It seems a little awkward to have the Dullard characters tacked on the bottom of this page. Unlike most of the other characters on this page, they have appeared multiple times.

==Transcript==
''{Open on a shot of Strong Bad sitting near the window in the Smoky Office on Le Restige. He is reading a book that reads "Things I'm About To Say"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi, folks. ''{he closes the book}'' I'm fantastic Strong Bad with an important seeming message. ''{he tosses the book offscreen}'' Five years ago, I drew a little dragon. It wasn't much to look at, but he captured the hearts and minds of dozens, nay, severals of internet viewers. I'm, of course, talking about none other than ''{cut to a sheet of notebook paper}'' The "S is for Sucks" dragon!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' '''''A''''' long time ago 
'''''B'''''efore things got weird 
'''''C'''''ame a '''''D'''''ragon, a mighty dragon 
that '''''E'''''verybody '''''F'''''eared 
Now, G is for '''''G'''''iraffe 
And H for '''''H'''''alloween 
But, '''''I''''''m not '''''J'''''oking about 
This '''''K'''''ill-ill-'''''L'''''ing 
'''''M'''''achi- '''''N'''''a-na-na-na 
Na-na-na-na 
''{as if through a bullhorn}'' Na-na-na-na 
'''''O'''''h, pants will keep on '''''P'''''eein' 
And we'll raise '''''Q'''''uite a '''''R'''''uckus 
In case you haven't guessed by now 
The '''''S''''' is for Suckus 

The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks! 

The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks! 

''{children voices join in at this part}''

T! '''''T'''''wo beefy arms!

V! Constabulate '''''V''''''s! 
W! '''''W'''''hat a pile! 
'''''X'''''cuse me Mr. Trogdor

'''''Z'''''ee S is for Sucks 

Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Oh, Zee S is for Sucks! 

Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Croissant! Zee S is for Sucks!

''{Cut back to Smoky Office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinkin'. "What about Trogdor?" You internet types ruined Trogdor! Just like you did zombies, pirates, ninjas and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah! And personally, I preferred that children's alphabet song to Trogdor's heavy metal song any day. ''{Trogdor's snout appears behind the blinds outside the window and Trogdor roars.}'' Waugh! Yes, sir! Sorry, sir! Right away, sir!

''{The following song is accompanied with black and white pencil-drawn scenes of lightning, the S is for Sucks dragon, the dragon attacking a lighthouse, the word "sucks" and a terrified captain at a ship's steering wheel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in speed metal style}'' The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Suuuuuucks! 

''{Cut to an illustration of the S is for Sucks dragon with the caption "HAPPY TROGDAY, S is for SUCKS DRAGON!!"}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on The S Is For Sucks dragon's head to see a scene with Coach Z and his attempt at drawing a dragon (or "Wormdingler") in the locker room:
:'''COACH Z''': ''{looking fatigued}'' Hey there, Wormdingler, I got youse this cupcake ''{holds up a cupcake}'' for your famous fifth birthday. ''{drops his hand}'' You don't need no consummate V's to be my bride. Oh, did I just say that out loud? ''{he looks around repeatedly}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's comment about how the Internet ruined "zombies, pirates, ninjas and Strong Bad" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Internet meme|Internet memes]] that have been popular over the years (including [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] itself).
*"Constabulate" (apparently used in place of consummate) refers to a constable, one name for a Bobby (British police officer), emphasized by the "S is for Sucks Dragon" wearing a British police helmet.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Trogdor has appeared in [[Free Country, USA]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad sings a song with na-nas as lyrics, which were listed as no. 2 on his [[Bottom 10]].
*In the Easter Egg, Coach Z's arms appear to be animated differently than they have been in previous toons. They appear to be drawn as a whole, instead of two separate pieces that are manipulated. Bubs's arms saw a similar update in animation style in [[nightlife]].
*Between the opening scene and the last Strong Bad scene, the background behind the window changes from a light gray to a pale blue.
*In many other toons, newspapers contain text that can be read if zoomed in on. In this case, Strong Bad's book contains only scribbles.
*The title of Strong Bad's book is an example of a [[nondescript noun]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad closes the book, he closes it on his thumb.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Trogday 08 on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]] linked to a [[404'd]] page because the link was misspelled as http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogday08.ht7ml. 

===Inside References===
*The entire toon and all the dragons featured in it are a reference to the email [[dragon]], as well as to the [[Happy Trogday|Trogday]] holiday.
*The page title makes a reference to Strong Bad's replacement email-checking chair, [[Le Restige]], from [[the chair]], which is also the chair that Strong Bad sits on at the beginning.
*The music in the beginning was first heard in [[portrait]].
*This toon includes mentions of [[pants]], [[peeing]], and [[croissants]].
*Strong Bad uses a faux [[French]] accent and wears a [[beret]] and a [[mustache]].
*Strong Bad saying "Yes sir, sorry sir, right away sir" to Trogdor is very similar to when Homestar said the same thing to Pom Pom in [[from work]].
*The newspaper headline reads "top mark [[b/w]] long V".
*Strong Bad saying "I'm fantastic Strong Bad" is similar to "I'm regular Strong Bad" from [[unnatural]].
*The ghost representing Halloween is the same style as the ghost seen in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's song takes place in front of a [[Paper Background]].

:Works fine for me. [[User:Dr. Savage|Dr. Savage]] 04:06, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween08.html is 404'd.
:Try clearing your cache. It works fine. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Two Scud costumes? ==

How significant is it that two characters dressed up as characters from the same kinda-obscure comic book? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

:I wouldn't say that significant. The complete graphic novel came out during the summer, so it just might be their way of pay homage to an unknown comic.

::Yes, but with two characters from the same source in the same toon? That's significant to me, and I really don't recall something like it happening before.

:::I think any significance is going to be obvious once people see the costume page. I'm not averse to it being noted, just don't see a great need. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::I'll say this much: The person who removed it said that it had "arguably" happened before, but I don't recall any such thing. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

:::::Also, the guy who wrote it, Rob Schrab, works on the Sarah Silverman show, and in the background is a Homestarrunner poster.

== Life the Universe and Everything ==

We should maybe mention the answer strong sad was looking for. 41 or something.
: 42. I've hardly read the books and I know that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:: You need to check your humor-meter, Jay.
::: What? I was correcting the incorrect answer of 41. If there was an inside joke in misremembering the answer, did you miss the part about me having hardly read the books? It wasn't particularly funny otherwise. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Sarcasm doesn't translate into text very well. If you frequent the internet, I'd be surprised if you didn't know the answer to life, the universe and everything. [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 14:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== How green was my planet ==

The planet's name may or may not be "Greenguy". That is, apparently it didn't have a name when it was just a book cover, but when it became a common website image it took the name from its filename, greenguy.gif. Of course, the cartoon doesn't mention the name, so perhaps it doesn't matter anyway. {{User:Zoom/sig}} 07:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Strong Mad's Thwomp Actions merit mention? ==

Should it be added in Real World References that Strong Mad forcefully stomping the ground when he talked relates to his costume? I'd say that's why he did it. Or is it too fleeting and unimportant for a mention? [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 14:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I say it should be put it, '''because''' it's an obvious refference, it's silly to leave it out. [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 20:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Whatchamacallit ==
Whatchamacallit is another kind of candy bar. I'd come up with some proper addition to the page for it myself, but I have Halloweening to do. [[User:Xerzes|Xerzes]] 15:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Teeth or leaves? ==

I don't think the shot of Homestar and Pom Pom from a distance was inside the carnivorous undead sheep's mouth. It looked more like the sheep was behind a bush or something. --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 16:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Costume ==

I don't know if this should be under Remarks or Goofs, but Homestar incorrectly mentioned to Marzipan that she "keeps dressing up as dudes" when it has only happened for five Halloween toons including this one (Joey Ramone - 2001, Beaker - 2004, Willie Nelson - 2005, and Prince - 2007). I know that this is only just the majority gender and all, but do you think it should get noted on the toon's page? [[User:Rexy|Rexy]] 17:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== [http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Ghost-in-the-Graveyard Ghost in the Graveyard?] ==

Title a reference to that kids tag-variant, perhaps?

== Something doesn't add up... ==

It's starting to be a running gag thing where, in the teaser, Strong Bad has an awesome costume and turns out to have one nothing like it in the real toon. But, in [[Jibblies 2]], someone (I think it was Strong Sad) pointed this out in the toon at the end. That didn't happen this time. That doesn't make sense to me... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:Hmm. In [[Happy Hallow-Day]], Homestar starts the toon in "not his real costume" and in Jibblies 2 Strong Bad had a differently-shaped costume in the prior teaser toon. I don't think it's happened either way before, not that I recall anyway. I think you're presuming they're the same gag, when they really aren't, i don't think. Anyway, there's not required to use all their funny bits every year: wiches brew got some time off. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Well, again, in Happy Hallow-Day and Jibblies 2, someone points out the different costume thing. Homestar announces that it isn't his Halloween costume and Coach Z (not Strong Sad, like I earlier thought) mentions that he thought Strong Bad was going to be the alien, referring to the trailer. However, this time, there's not even a hint as to the switch. It just feels like there's something missing there; it's not like TBC to just leave it without an explanation/referral. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== Sheep's Revenge ==

it occurs to me, could the undead sheep be at all connected to [[The King of Town DVD]]? after all, the KoWT was a sheep eater, and his backyard graveyard is inhabited by an undead carnivorous sheep... thoughts? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 19:12, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:I actually wondered the same thing when I first saw the toon, but I think it can only be considered speculation on our part, as the KOT vaguely mentions its origins as an experiment. If there was no explanation in the toon, I'd probably be more inclined to think that there's a connection with the King of Town DVD. {{User:NoMayonnaise/sig}}
::When KOT said that about it being a test animal, and with me having watched KOT DVD the day before, I thought the little chef guy was experimenting with some new sauce... {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 22:28, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:::This is all speculation though, nothing is stated or even implied to this effect. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== I couldn't do it... for very long... ==

Strong Sad's inability to hold his breath is a reference to Halloween Fairstival. [[Special:Contributions/173.32.221.240|173.32.221.240]] 20:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

::::Just for the record, (in case it gets removed from the page) I agree. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Graves ==
I think there should be a page of the graves from this cartoon. {{User:Zoo977/sig}}

== Happy Carousel of Progress ==

Is it worth noting that part of the Carousel (the 1940s scene) takes place during Halloween? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

==Backyardiganz==
Although, the Gravediggaz(?) rap group, seems more appropriate, as it was a Coach Z scene, I actually think that (as someone already said) it was also a Backyardigans refference, I have left the rap group thing in, because I agree with it aswell, It is not impossible to refference 2 things at once.

1. Backyardigans sounds like Graveyeardiganz more than Gravediggaz or whatever) does.

2. Backyardigans is a music based series.

3. There has already been a Yo Gabba Gabba refference in this episode, proving that TBC are (thankfully) not afraid to refference shows primarilly aimed at children. (I actually watch Backyardigans from time to time - not too keen on YGG though) Also note that both shows are on Nick Jr.

== Candy bars ==

Does it need to be mentioned in "Real World References" that 100 Grand is also a candy bar? Just wondered, since you mentioned Watchamacallits. --[[User:Wordmama|Wordmama]] 22:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:Probably not. I think even if you'd never seen or eaten them before you'd be able to tell what they are from the context. I'd completely forgotten about Whatchamacallits until reading here of the reference so I'd imagine others wouldn't initially notice it either. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 02:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
::I think all candy bars mentioned/referenced should be listed in one Real-World Reference. What can it hurt? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Say it! Say it! ==

The article mentions that Strong Sad's comments in the Strong Bad easter egg are typical of Sam Kennison's stand-up act. While this is true, it seems to me that it's a direct reference to his scene in the movie "Back to School." The "Say it! Say it!" line is a direct quote from the movie.
:Are you sure? I don't remember. Either I'm not noticing or I'm just dumb. [[User:Sonicfirestorm44|Sonicfirestorm44]] 04:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
::Here's a link to a YouTube video of the scene in question: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bfgrj_62-Y] (note--contains some language that would make the kiddies blush). The "Say it! Say it!" line occurs at around 2:00-2:10.

== Double Dead Insult? ==

Is it possible that Bubs thought Coach Z was reffering to both Zgor and Mort, whose tombstones are side by side, when he thought of Coach Zgor ''Mort''is? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 14:59, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Is Strong Sad Dead? ==

I want to know: is he really dead? Did he will himself to death? If not, why did he not show up in those pictures? Was the grave haunted? A User who couldn't remember his password, --[[Special:Contributions/72.93.240.37|72.93.240.37]] 16:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

:: I think it's just a refferal to the lore that vampires and ghosts (and, apparently, Strong Sads) don't show up in reflections and photos. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 23:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Removed Facts ==

===Trivia===
*Pom Pom and The Cheat's costumes is a nod to the comic's artist, [[Wikipedia:Rob Schrab|Rob Schrab]], who made a downloadable guest wallpaper for [[Trogdor]]'s [[Trogday 08|5th Birthday]]
This seems unrelated. Their costumes are from that comic. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't mean it can't also be a shout out to the artist.

*Over a period of nine Halloweens, five of Marzipan's costumes have involved [[cross-dressing]].
Noted already in inside references. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

===Remarks===
*Homsar and the Carnivorous Undead Sheep are drawn with black outlines, instead of the thick, colored outline style of everything else in the [[Homestar Runner Universe]].
Captain caveman is drawn that way, and the sheep is black and white. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:Still, they are stylised, which we have an article on. Somewhere. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 23:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
::Surely the sheep was designed to match the old art style that the King's sheep appeared in, so it'd be obvious it was one of -those- sheep.
:::That proves nothing, and this isn't the discussion for that proof anyway. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

*It seems unusual that Strong Sad would read The Hitchhikers Series, as he has never shown any interest in humor.
It's still a nerdy book. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:It's. A. Remark. Nerdy. Or. Not. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 23:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

He then mistakenly "corrects" himself to actually be [[Wikipedia:Crocodile Dundee|Crocodile Dundee]], the titular character from the 1986 comedy movie. Crocodile Dundee was played by [[Wikipedia:Paul Hogan|Paul Hogan]] who, like Yahoo Serious, is Australian.

== Questionable fact ==
*Strong Bad's line "Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?" could possibly refer to [[Wikipedia:John Hodgman|John Hodgman's]] book "The Areas of My Expertise", which features a non-factual factual account of such an era as a major section of the book.
Can someone please verify this? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:As an owner of the book, I can say that there is a tale of when Hobos took control of some of the US Federal Government. This seems a more likely reference as Mr. Hodgman has gained more notoriety lately due to his PC commercials, his appearances on The Daily Show. He even has a new book out! Hobo Matters make up about 1/3 the book, so it's more than just a passing reference. I'd say it's worth consideration. - [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]], who needs to log in.

== Price 100 grand ==

If the goblin really did turn Homestar's 100 grand candy bars into gold, with the price of gold at
724 US dollars an ounce (as of November 1st), and one "fun size" 100 grand candy is about 1.5 ounces, it would take about 92.2 candy bars for Homestar and Pom Pom to get $100,000 from those.

Does this deserve a place?

equation:

(100000/724)/1.5

(the total $ needed) divided by the total ounceage of the candy.

Or something like that.
:Well, I'm trying really hard to write a long dissertation here, but this is not fun, will be incorrect on a daily basis (on a continual basis during trading hours) and more importantly is missing a key number, that is the number of candy bars. Using $100,000 to figure out the number of candy bars is foolish. Without the number of candy bars, your work (as laudable as it is) simply has no place in the article. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 10:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

==Transcript==
{{sectionstub}}
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween Party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Opening credits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''Who Cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ...ooh. I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy Lot!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Alright now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down."

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror'd-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifths cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, whew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy? Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers. ''{The Carnivorous Undead Sheep jumps out}'' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again! ''{Pop Pom pulls out a handgun}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants! ''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grands into a hundred grand? ''{The Goblin shakes his head}'' But I thought at midnight you— ''{The Goblin does his dance}'' Oh, man! ''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music}'' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

*At the end in the Strong Sad Easter egg, Strong Sad is mistaken for Ma Fratelli from ''[[Wikipedia:The Goonies|The Goonies]]''.

'''Running Time:''' 6:25

'''Page Title:''' Ketchup Fountain SOUL'd Separately!

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween Party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Opening credits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''Who Cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ...ooh. I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy Lot!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Alright now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down."

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror'd-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifths cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, whew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy? Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers. ''{The Carnivorous Undead Sheep jumps out}'' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again! ''{Pop Pom pulls out a handgun}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants! ''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grands into a hundred grand? ''{The Goblin shakes his head}'' But I thought at midnight you— ''{The Goblin does his dance}'' Oh, man! ''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music}'' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, the curtain opens to show the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat appears and plays a trill on a flute.}''

'''SINGER:''' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about.

''{During the song, "200" appears in the fonts of the Tandy, Compy, and Lappy sequentially, followed by "strongbad_email.exe" typed out. Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet while roses are thrown. Marzipan and Coach Z are seen watching him enter}''

'''SINGER:''' How can we face two hundred sbemails?

''{Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. We then cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, wearing a bowtie and holding a microphone, as he finishes his song.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing on his stool. Strong Sad can be seen among the audience.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finishing the song}'' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{The audience sits down.}'' ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! ''{Close shot of Strong Bad}'' I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove. Cut to Strong Bad sitting down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go!

''{pulls up the email, but doesn't read it}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duh-duh-duh-Dear ''HOMESTAR''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? ''{Camera zooms out}'' New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does and he grabs it.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' B'oyah! ''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his [[Happy 8600]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' that answers emails from fans with humorous results.

''{Cut back to show the two characters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked ''{Camera zooms out}'' about burglars ''{thumping his feet}'' breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of ''{holds up a cinnamon dispenser}'' cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{opens the lid and throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{The light turns on as he walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp, from the email [[caper]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapped by Homestar}'' Okay, calm down, I didn't mean to--

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{Homestar teleports around the room to a different place after each word he says. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Screen dims}''

''{Cut to a dimmed shot of the basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z. ''{Screen brightens up}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's computer room. Strong Bad is standing on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{now frustrated}'' Hang! On! Shut! Face! Those were ''my'' emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad and looks at it}'' ''{Zoom in on Homestar.}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

''{Cut back to show the two characters. Strong Bad is sitting on the edge of the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{close shot of the Happy 8600 as Homestar types his email address}'' DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

''{Cut back to to show the two characters. Strong Bad is leaning off the table and standing on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

''{Zoom in on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! ''{Camera zooms out}'' Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, leaving behind one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The subject/to line and screen are inexplicably blank. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>

Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a short "A" sound as in "ham", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera whips to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a few seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... ''ding''! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer: a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms.

''{In the background, Strong Bad is seen running to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew. Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. ''{mimicking Homestar}'' "Apply libewally!" ''{Camera zooms out}'' Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of showing Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address. The two images of the "@" key and Strong Bad's head in an envelope are also missing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The term "Stealing One's Thunder" (from which the title is derived) is used in situations wherein one person is associated with hoopla stemming from the efforts of another person. In this case, sbemail #200 was intended to be for Strong Bad, but the email itself was addressed to Homestar Runner, who would therefore be recognized as the recipient of the 200th email.
*When Strong Bad sends his email, he mentions several technical terms:
**[[Wikipedia:Domain Name Server#DNS_resolvers|DNS Resolving]] is a process done by a DNS (Domain Name System) server in which it identifies the IP address of a [[Wikipedia:Domain name|domain name]].
**[[Wikipedia:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]], or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a standard for servers sending email.
*[[Wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] and [[Wikipedia:IEEE 1394 interface|FireWire]] are modern types of serial connections. Older serial connectors were defined by the number of connectors or "pins" they have. Therefore, a 4-pin or an 8-pin would have 4 or 8 pins, respectively, though no such standard connections existed. Serial ports were traditionally 9-pin and 25-pin.

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#duck pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by [[the Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*This is the only time we unambiguously hear the Poopsmith talk. 
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing were not there when Strong Bad said "email thunder". These were added later.

===Remarks===
*In the flashbacks to [[caper]] and [[long pants]], Strong Bad's design is the newest one, rather than [[Strong Bad Evolution|the ones that were used at the time.]]
*When The Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.
*Strong Bad pulls the giant bottle of Mountain Dew from [[Hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad has no idea Homestar has an Email address, yet he knew exactly what it was in [[credit card]].
*Strong Bad is surprised at the email, but in [[the process]] he says he picks the email beforehand.
*The Strong Sad Easter egg simply said "sbemail200" on the corner of the screen without the ".html" at the end, as opposed to "sbemail179''.html''" in [[pizza joint]]. This may be because this email's URL is not "sbemail200.html" but "sbemailtwohundred.html".
*Rolling over "[[kind of cool]]" to show [[Senor Cardgage]] doesn't work on the word "cool", which is located at the beginning of the next line.
*Strong Bad never actually answers an email in this cartoon.
*During the closeup of "Dear Homestar", the following text is visible on the Lappy with a decompiler:
<blockquote>Oh...Steven! I think this may finally be it you guys! After 
200 emails I'm finally gonna get 
to make out with D-D-D </blockquote>
:This is most likely a scrapped intro for the initial email, and was later featured in [[Quote of the Week#QW-2008-10-16|the Quote of the Week]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar puts cinnamon on his face, his eyes are the wrong size. They're quite noticeably squished and placed too high on his face.
[[Image:EmailThunderOffSync.png|thumb|100px|Blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry pants!]]
*In the clip from [[long pants]], when Homestar is blurred in the foreground, the table and carpet within the image of blurred Homestar are not in their proper places.
**Additionally, the first line of words on the screen are not there.
*On the end screen, there is no space between [[cheatday]] and [[pom pom]].
*The back button sends you to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons page]] rather than the Sbemail page.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelled "sibby".

===Glitches===
*If the Limozeen Easter egg is activated, followed by another Easter egg, Limozeen will continue to play over the other one.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad signs his message to Homestar "Abdi", based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
**Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating Homestar's impediment. He then [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down.
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 9, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays the [[Instruments|flute]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Homestar once again uses [[cinnamon]] for stubble.
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "[[draw Trogdor again]]."
*Strong Bad's signs his email to Homestar with the catchphrase "[[Seriously|Sewiously]]", in the same vein as emails he received signed "[[Crapfully yours]]".
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in a similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]].
*"Squeazeled" and "cavalanche" are [[portmanteaus]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an initialism for "[[Crap|What the Crap?]]".
*There are three instances of [[Not X]] in this email: Strong Bad is "almost not totally disgusted" by The Poopsmith's singing; he asks Homestar for "a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer"; and in an Easter egg, Strong Sad tells viewers to "be sure and not check out my blog."
*Homestar's list of hremails is similar to the one in [[personal favorites]], in that they both have narration that says ''"like the one when... wrote in..."'' and ''"and the one where..."'', as well as the first two emails being real and the rest being fake.
*Homestar claims to have taken some of [[Strong Sad's Pills|Strong Sad's pills]] when remembering the email [[long pants]]. Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle" by [[Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Interestingly, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.
* The menu page description for this toon says, "Homestar will flip you. He will flip you for real." This is a reference to a memorable line spoken by [[Wikipedia: Benicio Del Toro|Benicio Del Toro's]] character in [[Wikipedia: The Usual Suspects|The Usual Suspects]].

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Emailin' from the left and to the right, emailin' on a Tuuuuesday night!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: none</div>
Dear awesome Strong Bad. 
Could you please show us some of your awesome wrestling 
moves. 
Gardenboy 
Bfn SA 
</blockquote>

''{After "Strong Bad", Strong Bad says "Period. That's the best sentence ever written!" He reads the location as "Best friends never, South Africa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Gardenboy, as a crafty ring veteran, I can let you in on a little secret: being an awesome wrestler has nothing to do with awesome wrestling moves! ''{clears screen}'' It's all about awesome costumes, gimmicks, and dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving! I got my first big break with cable access's longest named wrestling organization: All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment, or AWMPSCE. ''{pronounces "OMP-skee"}'' Of course, they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I had gimmickier plans.

''{Cut to a photograph of Strong Bad wearing a crown and a wrestling suit that has a crown printed on it. The picture is labeled "Sir Boliver Turnbuckle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sir Boliver Turnbuckle and his signature move:

''{Another picture appears with Strong Bad in his Turnbuckle outfit standing behind Strong Sad, with Strong Bad's arm grabbing Strong Sad below his own arm. The picture is labeled "Master of the 1/8th Nelson!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The one-eighth nelson!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That was back in the days when pretending to be a pompous Brit was considered a ''premium'' gimmick. Once I started getting more popular, my next incarnation was

''{Cut to the Gymatorium's doors. A piece of paper with an AWMPSCE logo is taped on sideways.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And hailing from the age of exploration, the namer of nations,

''{The doors swing open. Strong Bad is posing behind them. He is wearing an orange beret, a frilly white shirt, and a brown vest. The words "il Cartographer" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' il Cartographer!

''{Strong Bad poses as though he's expecting applause, but all that can be heard are some singers and the King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Booooooo!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He makin' the maps!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He takin' no crap!

''{Strong Bad steps forward and throws pieces of paper at the empty seats.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And one of my gimmicks was that I'd always come into the ring throwing—

''{One of Strong Bad's papers stops in front of the camera. It is a map of the Gymatorium and shows the way from one of the seats ("here be you") to "the can", as the toilet is labeled. The map is labeled "Ye Olde Restroom Trail".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' maps to the restrooms into the crowd!

''{Cut to the ring; Strong Bad is holding a flag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I claim-a this saggy ring in the name of il Cartographer!

''{He taps the flag and it unfurls itself and flaps in imaginary wind, showing an image of Strong Bad's beret with "the il-est" written below it.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Booooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That was back when my big feud with Homestar Runner was in full swing!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar Runner's torso. He is wearing red pants that read "'EM UP!" in bold white lettering and has cinnamon on his chest. The screen slowly pans back.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Ladies and gentlemen! Joining me backstage in historic empty high school gymnasium—

''{The Announcer can now be seen standing next to Homestar, who is facing away from the camera.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' is a man that needs no introduction. Introducing: The Jack 'Em Up Kid!

''{The words "The Jack 'Em Up Kid" appear at the bottom of the screen. Homestar turns toward the camera. His chest has what appears to be cinnamon "stubble" on it, and his hat has no propeller.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, you know, announcer man, that's right! Hoo, yeah! Jack 'Em Up Kid, empty high school gymnasium, ''{holds up a belt with bacon and eggs carved into the buckle}'' sizzleweight belt on the line! Hoo, yeah! That's right! That's correct! That's precisely what I'm talking about! I got the drive, I got the commotion! I can't believe it! Hoo, yeah! el Photographer, whatchoo gonna did? ''{raises his pants on each word}'' When you get jacked up? ''{snaps the elastic band, which muffles his speech}'' By the Jack 'Em Up Kid!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that feud carried over into my tag team phase with Strong Mad. Naturally, there were several misfires before we found our groove.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad dressed like tourists. Strong Mad is wearing a purple Hawaiian shirt, while Strong Bad wears a pair of sunglasses and has sunscreen smeared over his nonexistent nose. Both wear fishing hats and cameras.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing can stop the Wild Vacationers!

''{"The Wild Vacationers" appears at the bottom of the screen. With a blip, the scene cuts to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in black spandex outfits. Strong Bad is wearing a headband with a big knife tucked into it, and his pants have a wooden board, a wrench, and one other unidentifiable object in them. Strong Mad has a razor blade lodged in his bleeding and apparently scarred forehead, a hammer tucked into his singlet, and the outline of a gun fully inside his singlet. A chainsaw blade can be seen behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You betta not mess with the Foreign Object Brothers!

''{"The Foreign Object Bros." appears at the bottom of the screen. With a blip, the scene cuts to Strong Bad and Strong Mad wearing spiky shoulder pads. Strong Mad's singlet is red and has "RAX" written on it. Strong Bad wears a green mohawk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Rax and Arby: The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads.

''{"The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads" appears at the bottom of the screen. With a blip, it cuts to the Announcer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But we finally settled on...

''{The screen pans over to Strong Bad and Strong Mad with heavy facepaint. Strong Mad's singlet reads "FACEPAINT CONNECTION".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Facepaint Connection! Jack 'Em Up Kid, Gary the Legend, when we step into the ring with the insidious Mr. Cheatayama,

''{Pans over to show The Cheat with a bowler derby and facepaint that resembles a mustache and goatee. He is holding an egg beater. It pans back after a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better hope for your guts and your mercy ''{looks confused for a moment}'' can save you at this Sunday's PayPerViewver Series.

''{"PayPerViewver Series - Sunday 9PM" appears at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't climb the mountains and breathe the facepainted fumes just to let you two walk away with the title I'm done take me off the air! ''{frantically}'' TAKE ME OFF THE AIR!!!

''{Static cuts to Homestar, still in his Jack 'Em Up Kid outfit, holding a microphone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hoo, yeah! That's right! Facepaint Connection! You can't resist the power of all the screamin' Jack 'Emites and Jack 'Emettes out there when I pin you to the ground for a count of three which is a legal way to win a match in this wrestling federation the last time I checked. Gary the Legend, take it away!

''{He holds the microphone out to his partner. The screen cuts back, revealing that there is nobody there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that Gary the Legend was Homestar's ''imaginary'' tag team partner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to "Gary"}'' You tell 'em! You tell 'em, Gary! Hoo, yeah!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eventually I began wrestling as my own dang self and finally achieved what every wrestler strives for: my own in-ring interview segment! Never before had two chairs and a potted plant so transformed the wrestling ring!

''{Cut to the Gymatorium.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' It's time for another installment of—

''{The words "Strong Bad's Folding Chair DUNGEON" appear onscreen. The word "DUNGEON" drips blood.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Strong Bad's Folding Chair Dungeon!

''{Cut to the ring, where Strong Bad can be seen with a microphone. Behind him is a table with a potted plant and a skull on it, with two folding chairs next to it. A red rug sits underneath it all.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome back to the darkest dankest regions of my dungeon! My prisoner this week is the current fizzleweight belt holder: The Jack 'Em Up Kid!

''{Homestar, still in costume, jumps into the ring.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hoo, yeah! Hoo, yeah!

''{Strong Bad hits him with one of the folding chairs, knocking him out. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see Gardenboy, you should stop trying to perfect the Summer Squash Suplex and instead get yourself a rake, a straw hat, maybe a watering can and start screaming about how your opponents are gophers!

''{Cut to the Gymatorium's doors. Singing can be heard in the background. The doors open to reveal Strong Sad with a hat, rake, and watering can.}''

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' Gardenboy!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's plantin' the seeds!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' Gardenboy!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's pullin' out the weeds!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' Gardenboy!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's gonna bring ya to your knees!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' He's the il Cartographer, I mean, Gardenboy!

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right, all you gophers out there, ha-bring-it-on!

''{He holds up the watering can, which spouts two flames. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Jack 'Em T-shirts.png|thumb|What you gone did when you get jacked up?]]
*While Homestar is taunting The Facepaint Connection, click on the "S" in the [[AWMPSCE]] logo to see [[T-shirts]], a bumper sticker, and a foam thumb promoting the Jack 'Em Up Kid.
*At the end, click on Strong Sad's hat to see the Announcer interviewing Strong Mad:
*:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And Rax, anything you'd care to add?
*:'''STRONG MAD:''' BEEF AND CHEDDAR! FIVE FOR FIVE!
*At the end, click on Strong Sad's watering can to see a scene with Homestar and the Brothers Strong in the [[Halloween|Field at night]] as il Cartographer, a Facepaint Connection member, Gardenboy, and The Jack 'Em Up Kid.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad. I really like your Rudy from ''Fat Albert'' costume.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Bfn" stands for "[[Wikipedia:Bloemfontein|Bloemfontein]]", one of South Africa's three capital cities.
**Strong Bad reads it as "best friends never," which is a play off of the acronym "BFF," meaning "Best friends forever."
*The "1/8 nelson" is not a wrestling hold, but the half-nelson and three-quarter [[wikipedia:Nelson hold|nelson]] are amateur wrestling holds designed to get a quick pinfall, and the full nelson (which is illegal in NCAA wrestling) is a famous submission hold in the professional ranks.
*A [[Wikipedia:cartographer|cartographer]] is a mapmaker.
*"Il Cartographer" is incorrect Italian for "The Cartographer". The correct Italian would be "Il Cartografo".

===Trivia===
*This sbemail was released Tuesday night instead of the usual Monday morning, as Strong Bad points out in his opening song.
*This is the first time that Homestar's body under the neckline is shown uncensored.
*Homestar's hat doesn't have its propeller.
*The week after the email's release, a [[Main Page Message]] reading "old strong bad email" was posted as a link to it.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad discusses the various costumes and gimmicks from his wrestling days."

===Remarks===
*"Gymatorium" is a [[portmanteau]] of gymnasium and auditorium.
*The All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment has a lot of shirt-wearing wrestlers. il Cartographer, in particular, is not only wearing a frilly shirt but a fine leather vest.

===Goofs===
*Il Cartographer's hat does not move in sync with his head.
*When Strong Bad puts up his "il-est" flag, the floor reads "AWMPSE" instead of "AWMPSCE."
*There is a noticeable break in the cricket soundtrack in the costume Easter egg, at the end.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Initially, when Strong Bad says "dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving", "fueled" was misspelled on the computer screen as "feuled". This was fixed the next day.

===Inside References===
*The subject of this email is [[professional wrestling]].
*Homestar Runner, as The Jack 'Em Up Kid, has a wrestling belt with an image of [[bacon]] and [[eggs]].
*Homestar is wearing what could be described as a form of [[long pants]].
*Strong Bad, as il Cartographer, wears an orange [[beret]].
*The Easter egg for clicking on the watering can is a reference to the ending of most [[Halloween]] cartoons, including the [[What are you supposed to be?|inability to recognize Strong Bad's costume]].
*The Cheat, as the Insidious Mr. Cheatayama, wears a black [[bowler hat]].
*As a Foreign Object Brother, Strong Mad has a razor stuck in his forehead, which is causing him to [[blood|bleed]]. Also, in "Strong Bad's Folding Chair DUNGEON", the word "DUNGEON" is dripping with blood.
*At the end of the email, Strong Sad's watering can inexplicably spurts [[fire]].
*The singers for Strong Sad's entrance music are the same singers for [[The Thnikkaman]]'s theme song. A voice similar to [[Crackotage]]'s can be heard among the singers.
*The scoreboard shows an [[Scoreboard#Irregular Scores|irregular score]] of "?" for the Home team, and viewing the Flash file reveals the other score to be "$", both seen in [[the paper]].
*Homestar has [[cinnamon]] on his chest.
*The King of Town is heard [[The King of Town Booing|booing]].
*Strong Bad's wrestling Homestar, as well as Strong Mad being his tag team partner, are both allusions to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*As one of the Foreign Object Brothers, Strong Bad has a [[big knife]] tucked in his [[headband]].
*During Strong Bad's rant as a member of the Facepaint Connection, he appears to give the [[double deuce]].
*Strong Mad has a [[gun]] in his singlet as one of the Foreign Object Brothers.

===Real-World References===
====Wrestling References====
*The Cheat's character is based on famous wrestling manager "[[Wikipedia:Harry Fujiwara|Mr. Fuji]]".
*Strong Bad's interview segment is based on many wrestlers having interviews segments (most famously [[Wikipedia:Roddy Piper|Roddy Piper]]'s [[Wikipedia:Piper's Pit|Piper's Pit]]") mid-show.
*"Pay-per-viewver Series" refers to [[Wikipedia:Survivor Series|Survivor Series]], a [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] pay-per-view event.
*The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Road Warriors|Road Warriors]] tag team (aka the Legion of Doom), who became famous for their shoulder pads covered in spikes.
*As a member of The Foreign Object Brothers, Strong Mad has a sledgehammer hidden in his tights. This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Triple H|Triple H]] who uses such a hammer as a trademark foreign object.
*The Wild Vacationers is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Wild Samoans|Wild Samoans]] tag team who were managed by [[Wikipedia:Lou Albano|Captain Lou Albano]]. Albano would often wear a Hawaiian shirt to the ring, much like the Vacationers.
*The Facepaint Connection is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Blade Runners|Blade Runners]], a tag team in Bill Watts' old [[Wikipedia:Universal Wrestling Federation (Bill Watts)|UWF]]. Both of its members would become icons, Sting and the Ultimate Warrior.
*Homestar's costume and stage-name resemble that of veteran pro-wressler Shawn Michaels, [[Wikipedia:Shawn Michaels|the Heartbreak Kid]].
*Homestar's quote, "Whatchoo gonna did, when you get jacked up by the Jack 'Em Up Kid?" is a twist of [[Wikipedia:Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan]]'s famous interview-ending catchphrase, "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!" In addition, beginning "Well you know, announcer man..." is similar to Hogan's famous interview opening, "Well ya know something, Mean Gene...", addressed to long-time wrestling personality [[Wikipedia:Gene Okerlund|"Mean" Gene Okerlund]]. Homestar also talks about his Jackemites, similar to the Hogan's hulkamaniacs.
*Homestar's frequent use of the phrase "Hoo yeah!" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Randy Savage|Macho Man Randy Savage]], whose famous catchphrase was "Oooh yeah!"
*The razor blade lodged in Strong Mad's forehead as part of his costume as a Foreign Objects Brother references [[Wikipedia:Blading (professional wrestling)|blading]], the method that professional wrestlers use to make themselves bleed mid-match. Blading involves using a razor blade like Strong Mad's to surreptitiously cut oneself mid-match so that nobody notices that the cut is self-inflicted. Many older wrestlers have noticeable scar tissue on their forehead (much like Strong Mad does in the clip) from blading hundreds of times in their careers.
*Strong Bad saying, "TAKE ME OFF THE AIR!!!" is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Paul Heyman|Paul Heyman]] shoot promo from an episode of ''[[Wikipedia:ECW on TNN|ECW on TNN]]'' in 2000.
*"Dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving" is a reference to an event that happened on the television show ''[[Wikipedia:WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' in February 2005, when then-champion [[Wikipedia:John Layfield|John Bradshaw Layfield]] was shot with a [[Wikipedia:Tranquilizer dart|tranquilizer dart]] and went into a rant with an inflatable dinosaur in front of a Tokyo crowd.

'''Page Title:''' Hot Action? Big Numbers?

== Transcript ==
''{open to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is standing next to a chair and in front of a table with a notebook on it, and wearing his Deletehead hat. An archway to a hall is to his left}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rhythmic clapping in background}'' Everybody's just gonna feel sorry for ya. I mean ''{starts to pat belly in time with clapping}'' I do.

''{clapping stops}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Please be seatèd, delete heads. ''{chair scoot noises as Strong Sad sits}'' Now let's get right down to it! Sbemail 200 wagers, place ya bets! Place ya bets! ''{Strong Sad pounds the table with his fist as he speaks}''

''{cut to the other side of the table. Strong Mad and The Cheat are sitting down, and the cinder block is on the table. All three are wearing Deletehead hats}''

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' The Cheat's got fifty bucks says the Lappy doesn't make it out of email 200 alive! Any takers? Any takers?

''{cut back to opposite side}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DOUBLE DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, hot money, hot money, big movers! ''{pounds table}'' Dan! We got a twenty percent chance this email's gonna be from a guy named Dan! Who wants in? ''{looks around quickly as he speaks}'' Anybody? Nobody? Hot action? Big numbers? No? Moving on! Homestar's got half a G on ''{looks at notebook}'' Strong Bad not making it out alive?

''{cut to Homestar, holding a bundle of red candles with a drawing of a clock face taped to them, resembling a homemade bomb}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar quickly hides his "bomb" under the table}'' I dunno nothing about nothing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{standing in doorway, holding a crate labelled ''Last week's clams'' with a box labelled ''Cat noses'' on top of it}'' Do any of you have even one iota that lives down the street from a clue as to what you're talking about?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, gambling?

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

'''STRONG MAD:''' HORSES!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well I can tell you right now you're all way off! ''{walks away}'' Or I got fifty bucks that says you guys will continue to suck no matter what I do.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{ominous music, Homestar pulls his homemade "bomb" out from under the table}'' We'll just see about that, old buddy, old pal. We'll just see. ''{zoom in on Homestar}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{music stops abruptly}'' Homestar, are those just candles with a drawing of a clock taped to them?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um. Sorry guys, I gotta catch this invisible secret elevator. ''{Homestar slowly lowers himself below the table, stopping before his hat disappears}'' Boooooo.

'''STRONG SAD:''' How much you wanna bet he stays down there all week?

''{The New Paper comes down, it reads ''Place your bets, people!''}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"G" is slang for $1,000 (a '''g'''rand), making half a G $500.
*"Double Down" is a term in Blackjack meaning to double one's bet at any point after the initial cards have been dealt, and take exactly one more card.

===Trivia===
*Strong Sad's notebook reads:
**Meeting
# Pledge
# Wagers
# Fruit Dip
# Eyebrow Notions

===Remarks===
*Despite Strong Sad's claim of there being a 20% chance of the next emailer being named [[Dan]], only 10 of the previous emails - roughly 5% - were sent by a Dan (or a derivative thereof).

===Goofs===
*Careful observation of the "Clams" crate Strong Bad carries into the scene reveals it has no bottom drawn onto it, although Strong Bad holds it as if did and it is drawn in a perspective that would normally allow the bottom to be clearly visible to the viewer.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad is singing [[Everybody to the Limit]] in the intro to the meeting.
*[[The Deleteheads]] first appeared in [[fan club]].
*The Cheat predicts the [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|death of the Lappy]].
*Homestar had half a [[G]] that Strong Bad doesn't make it through SBEmail 200 alive.
*Homestar appears to want to [[Death|kill]] Strong Bad.
*Homestar's line "I dunno nothing about nothing." was previously uttered by Bubs in [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].
*Homestar previously imitated an elevator in the same manner in [[Flashforward]].
*This short continues the tradition started with [[Sbemail 150?!?]], in which the file name is Sbemail 199 and a half.
*Strong Sad says there's a 20% chance of the email being from a guy named Dan.

I'm not entirely sure here, but I think that [[:Category:Activity running gags]] might be more appropriate than [[:Category:Object running gags]], only because the gag doesn't always involve objects (like in the image). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

<blockquote>

That's the definition of a stub from the [[HRWiki:Glossary|Glossary]]. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 17:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:the article is fine. It's the list of appearances that may or may not be complete. I changed it to incomplete list instead. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:::::Thank you, I'm aware of that. what does it have to do with this conversation? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

==<s>Two</s> Three separate lists?==
There's two kinds of hammerspace. One kind where things emerge from behind people/objects, and the other where they come from offscreen. Is it worth separating these into two lists? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:Not in my opinion, though it may be worth mentioning in the article.--[[User:CoachG|CoachG]] 17:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

::And ones where they pop to existence (like [[The Goblin]]). {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:::True. Three then. The question still remains though, separate lists, or not? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

== Where the Crap? ==

I removed the Twinkie from [[Where the Crap Are We?]]. It's clearly not hammerspace. The Twinkie was just off-camera. Homestar even looks at it before frabbing it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

:A lot of things on this page are from offscreen, it's a type of hammerspace. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, but not everything that's from offscreen is from hammerspace. We need to distinguish between something that's most likely supposed to be from hammerspace and what appears to be normal.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

:::if they can pull something from offscreen, but can't figure out that they can go offscreen, i'd say that's a good indication of hammerspace. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Plus, if there really was a Twinkie right there, Srong Bad probably would of noticed it and not of said that there weren't enough Twinkies. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::True. Although you'll see that the left "wall" is slightly offscreen, suggesting that there might be enough actual physical space for a twinkie on the right hand side. I'm beginning to slowly accept that it was supposed to be from hammerspace, though. I'll take a short break from this discussion so I don't feel compelled to argue about it for now ;-) And Homestar-winner: Strong Bad does not always see everything. Especially if there's a Homestar in front of it ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

==hammer or Hammer?==
Can you believe this article was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hammerspace deleted] on Wikipedia? I guess it was determined to be a "fanmade" term, and therefore did not belong as its own article. The link now redirects to [[Wikipedia:Magic satchel|Magic satchel]], where it is (mostly) used as a common noun (i.e. it is not capitalized). So, that begs the question: should we use '''Hammerspace''' or '''hammerspace'''? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
:I created this page under the idea that at the time was pervasive on the 'kipedia page that Hammerspace was a location like England that could be accessed through ill-defined means. But the main reason I went back and capitalized all of Hom*R's revisions is that a capital H just makes the page look better. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
::So wikipedia is dumb. I don't think that has a bearing to us. it's Hammerspace. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== dissagree... ==

Some of the things on the page may not be truly from hammerspace. An example is that in cliffhangers Strong Bad could have had the snacks and the knife with him and just grabbed them when needed. Kirbychu HR'D 02:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:One problem. Unless he had the bags... taped to his head, or something, which sounds unlikely, (since we didn't see any tape on the bags), he wouldn't have enough space behind his back/in his back pockets to carry them. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 03:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== You guys missed something! ===
The stuff that came out of the bucket hand was oatmeal! I fixed that!- [[User:LordJ]]

== Main Pages ==

I'd argue that the Main Page instances are not "hammerspace". Yes, things appear and disappear, but only after the viewer initiates a mouseover. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:In fact, other items are in my opinion inappropriately listed. When Strong Bad talks about a something and it appears on screen, that's not Hammerspace, that's imitating a camera trick. Same with the Ladies' Choice Award logo - when do logos for TV presentations ''ever'' actually physically exist and are carried out? Or, in disconnected, where the parts of Head Bad and Strong Body are added in one by one - this is again, IMO, not Hammerspace. I simply lack the time to go through and a-delete all of these, but I would like to build some consensus here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm curious as to whether the Main Page occurrences should count. They're just effects that happen when a button is rolled over, and they're not real toons. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 20:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

==Clean up==
So someone proof read it that it {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}04:47, 2008 February 3
:Just a note, I don't believe that things that happen PBtC, things that come from someone's imagination, instances like [[trading cards]] where a piece of paper that is referenced appears on paper should exist on this page. They simply are not the same running gag. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:: I know some things could passible be the imagination and I thought hard about those ones I said no to allot of them and said yes to the ones i thought where notable. I think it is good how it is except my amazing skills and grammar and spelling {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}} 17:48, 2008 Feb 3
:::What standard are you using to say an instance is "notable" versus chocked up to imagination? — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
::: I used 1. dose it appear at a wired place 2. is it important 3. What was the set up for the seen.(what happened before, what was said, where are we going) 4. Is it part of the story. 5. is it magic or a ghost {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}
::::Quick spelling lesson. A lot, does, weird, scene. Actually ... allot, dose, wired, and seen are all words ... just not the ones you meant to use. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

==So let us talk==
What ones do you those dose not fit {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}} 18:01 2008 Feb 3
:Just in Sbemails:
*Imagination: [[halloweener]], [[action figure]], [[new hands]], [[japanese cartoon]], [[crazy cartoon]], [[2 years]], [[kind of cool]], [[monument]], [[theme park]], [[the facts]], [[montage]], [[animal]], [[dreamail]], [[disconnected]], [[candy product]], [[from work]], [[slumber party]] (just the milk etc), [[diorama]],
*Paper: [[little questions]], [[english paper]], [[autobiography]], [[pom pom]], [[trading cards]], [[coloring]]
— [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 18:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

* I will say lets up discuss with more people because i like them all and i think they all fit. To be discussed: [[action figure]] but i think The drinks that pour into the Strong Bad action figure body also appear from Hammerspace is good. [[crazy cartoon]] [[the facts]] [[japanese cartoon]] [[monument]] [[candy product]]. I say keep them all. {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}

== Storage Realm or Every time ==

According to everything I've ever seen about Hammerspace, it's always described as a Storage Realm. It seems that a lot (maybe even most) of these appearances are just things popping into existence as opposed to being "accessed" by a cartoon character. I'll bring this here as opposed to an Edit War, what do you guys think: is something like the Main Pages where things just appear an actual example of Hammerspace? —[[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 22:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:In the absence of any arguments against, I'm gonna go ahead and remove anything that isn't Storage-Realm Hammerspace tomorrow. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 19:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

==Delete==

It's way too common to have its own page. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 02:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
:The inclusion guideline actually sets [[fire]] as an example of the kinds of pages we '''should''' have based mainly on their commonness. Moreover, I believe most of these that are listed are simply not Hammerspace, as per the talk directly above this. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP ==

I'm not sure if these count:
At one point in Homestar Ruiner, Strong Mad drops out of the ceiling, says a few lines, and then jumps — dissappearing back into the ceiling. Also, does Strong Sad popping up count as this (all the times he appears when he's not in his room)?
I guess the Strong Sad appearances could be explained in a realistic manner... the Strong Mad instance, not so much. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 03:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

But the main reason I went back and capitalized all of Hom*R's revisions is that a capital H just makes the page look better. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
::So wikipedia is dumb. I don't think that has a bearing to us. it's Hammerspace. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== dissagree... ==

Some of the things on the page may not be truly from hammerspace. An example is that in cliffhangers Strong Bad could have had the snacks and the knife with him and just grabbed them when needed. Kirbychu HR'D 02:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:One problem. Unless he had the bags... taped to his head, or something, which sounds unlikely, (since we didn't see any tape on the bags), he wouldn't have enough space behind his back/in his back pockets to carry them. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 03:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== You guys missed something! ===
The stuff that came out of the bucket hand was oatmeal! I fixed that!- [[User:LordJ]]

== Main Pages ==

I'd argue that the Main Page instances are not "hammerspace". Yes, things appear and disappear, but only after the viewer initiates a mouseover. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:In fact, other items are in my opinion inappropriately listed. When Strong Bad talks about a something and it appears on screen, that's not Hammerspace, that's imitating a camera trick. Same with the Ladies' Choice Award logo - when do logos for TV presentations ''ever'' actually physically exist and are carried out? Or, in disconnected, where the parts of Head Bad and Strong Body are added in one by one - this is again, IMO, not Hammerspace. I simply lack the time to go through and a-delete all of these, but I would like to build some consensus here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm curious as to whether the Main Page occurrences should count. They're just effects that happen when a button is rolled over, and they're not real toons. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 20:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

==Clean up==
So someone proof read it that it {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}04:47, 2008 February 3
:Just a note, I don't believe that things that happen PBtC, things that come from someone's imagination, instances like [[trading cards]] where a piece of paper that is referenced appears on paper should exist on this page. They simply are not the same running gag. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:: I know some things could passible be the imagination and I thought hard about those ones I said no to allot of them and said yes to the ones i thought where notable. I think it is good how it is except my amazing skills and grammar and spelling {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}} 17:48, 2008 Feb 3
:::What standard are you using to say an instance is "notable" versus chocked up to imagination? — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
::: I used 1. dose it appear at a wired place 2. is it important 3. What was the set up for the seen.(what happened before, what was said, where are we going) 4. Is it part of the story. 5. is it magic or a ghost {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}
::::Quick spelling lesson. A lot, does, weird, scene. Actually ... allot, dose, wired, and seen are all words ... just not the ones you meant to use. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

==So let us talk==
What ones do you those dose not fit {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}} 18:01 2008 Feb 3
:Just in Sbemails:
*Imagination: [[halloweener]], [[action figure]], [[new hands]], [[japanese cartoon]], [[crazy cartoon]], [[2 years]], [[kind of cool]], [[monument]], [[theme park]], [[the facts]], [[montage]], [[animal]], [[dreamail]], [[disconnected]], [[candy product]], [[from work]], [[slumber party]] (just the milk etc), [[diorama]],
*Paper: [[little questions]], [[english paper]], [[autobiography]], [[pom pom]], [[trading cards]], [[coloring]]
— [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 18:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

* I will say lets up discuss with more people because i like them all and i think they all fit. To be discussed: [[action figure]] but i think The drinks that pour into the Strong Bad action figure body also appear from Hammerspace is good. [[crazy cartoon]] [[the facts]] [[japanese cartoon]] [[monument]] [[candy product]]. I say keep them all. {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}

== Storage Realm or Every time ==

According to everything I've ever seen about Hammerspace, it's always described as a Storage Realm. It seems that a lot (maybe even most) of these appearances are just things popping into existence as opposed to being "accessed" by a cartoon character. I'll bring this here as opposed to an Edit War, what do you guys think: is something like the Main Pages where things just appear an actual example of Hammerspace? —[[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 22:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:In the absence of any arguments against, I'm gonna go ahead and remove anything that isn't Storage-Realm Hammerspace tomorrow. 19:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

==Delete==

It's way too common to have its own page. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 02:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
:The inclusion guideline actually sets [[fire]] as an example of the kinds of pages we '''should''' have based mainly on their commonness. Moreover, I believe most of these that are listed are simply not Hammerspace, as per the talk directly above this. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP ==

I'm not sure if these count:
At one point in Homestar Ruiner, Strong Mad drops out of the ceiling, says a few lines, and then jumps — dissappearing back into the ceiling. Also, does Strong Sad popping up count as this (all the times he appears when he's not in his room)?
I guess the Strong Sad appearances could be explained in a realistic manner... the Strong Mad instance, not so much. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 03:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Flashfight: undid revision 587539;Speculation

[[Image:The Cheat hammerspace.PNG|thumb|[[Firebert]] emerging from Hammerspace]]
Residents of the [[Homestar Runner universe]] often reach into '''[[Wikipedia:Hammerspace|Hammerspace]]''' to access regularly unavailable items. Hammerspace is an imagined "storage realm" that allows cartoon characters to have access to practically any item they wish without impeding the plot or ruining comedic timing. As in most other animated works of fiction, the other characters usually make no mention of and seemingly do not respond to the appearance of the new items.
It can be said that [[The Paper]] almost always emerges from Hammerspace, due to the lack of a visible printer, although the email [[the paper]] shows a printer falling too.

Flashfight: /* Rocoulm */ name-change, given fanstuff

==Stub==
I think that we have all we know about the painting. I think we can remove it as a stub. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}
*The stub has been removed.
*This is both scary and funny. It kinda creeped me out to think of it, but it instantly made me laugh. Espeacialy when Strong bad got the jibblies.

==Rocoulm==
The recent QotW has a file name of "rocoulm"... you suppose that signifies anything? Like, is that its name? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 23:00, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:I've been wondering that myself... It seems fairly random, but I bet it means ''something''. I just can't, for the life of me, work out ''what''. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::That could be a scary name. Or maybe it stands for something. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of our shadowed, er, friend. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:15, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::Although slightly hard to pronounce, it sounds a tiny, tiny bit like 'Gollum', who bears a slight resemblance to this creature. The thing in the painting is sitting on a rock... Maybe it's a mishmash of 'rock' and 'Gollum'. Of course, this is all speculation... If we don't see more of it soon, maybe we can add it to that list of questions we'd like to ask the Brothers Chaps someday. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I added this question to [[User:Thunderbird L17/Questions|Thunderbird's list]]. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 01:51, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, I was gonna do that myself... I just figured I'd wait a little. Well, better to add it now than to forget to add it later. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::Well, the XML file names this guy "Rocoulm." The same happened with 1-Up - we weren't sure if 1-Up was his name or not (since we were basing this on the XML file at the time), and bam - there, in the game, is 20x6 Homestar under the name 1-Up. I think we should trust the Weeklies XML and rename this guy "Rocoulm." {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 16:48, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Agreed. This is most certainly the painting's name{{User:Camalex/sig}} 16:54, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::::I agree too. But he'll always be 'The Horrible Painting' to me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

'''AGREE:''' Yes, it's most logical. He is now knowen as Rocoulm! {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

Well, ummm, should we move the page? {{User:Camalex/sig}} 17:22, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think we should move the page. I think the note It's dot com put up will suffice. We don't know whether is name is actually "Rocoulm" or if that is an abbreviation for something else (like 1-Up isn't actually "1up", and The Homestar Runner is not "oldhomestar"). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:42, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::I concur, until we get something that proves his name is Rocoulm (what we have now is just speculation) the page should still be 'Horrible Painting'.[[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

::::Should we call the actual demon "Rocoulm" and give him his own page? Homestar is apparently in there for "eternity". Should we make this page just about the painting itself? [[User:StrongBadFan99998|StrongBadFan99998]] 03:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::I don't think there's enough info to make separate subjects on the two. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::The painting is the painting and Rocoulm is the subject of the painting. Rocoulm has become a character in himself and therefore deserves a page as a character, and the Horrible Painting is both a significant object as a painting, and it has become a [[Places|place]], so clearly it deserves a page. Whether or not this can/should all be fit on the same page seems to be the question, and I vote for separate pages with an explanation at the top of each, i.e.: {{about|the painting itself}} {{forcharacter|Rocoulm}} {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I know no one's going to like this, but I think the "most" official name of the painting is The Jibblies Painting. Until now, it had only been referred to as "horrible painting," but Strong Bad's line was "''That'' horrible painting..." merely describing the painting. It has since been adapted as the name, because it's not named as anything else. But now it's been named by Homestar as the Jibblies Painting, not in description but as an actual name. Again, I'm sure everyone wants to stick to the name they're used to, but unfortunately I do think "Jibblies Painting" is more legitimate. {{unsigned|71.65.13.62|20:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)}}
:With the new Fanstuff coming out, doesn't this make 'Rocoulm' even more legitimate. I am in firm belief that a name-change should be forthcoming. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 02:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

==Image Invasion==
How many images do we really need on this page? Seems a little overkill to me. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
: I agree. They overwhelm the reader. And also, the one on the bottom left has a capitalization error in the caption (I don't know how to fix that). [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 02:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

==Definite Article==
Does anyone else think that the thing's name should be "the rocoulm" since that's what the card says? 01:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe just [[Rocoulm]], or maybe [[The Jibblies Painting]] or something. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

==Voice==

Does anyone know who voices the Rocolum? Is it one of the brothers? Because it sounds a LOT like a voice used in some old film I've got on VHS somewhere - it is most obious when he says "I plan to redo the kitchen" [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 23:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:I'm sure its [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]. They don't usually call in guests for voices, especially when its a lead-type role. {{User:DevonM/sig}}

'''Places:''' [[The Field]], [[The Office]]

'''Icon:''' Puppet Homestar

'''Page title:''' Sponsored by Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kits!

'''Date:''' Monday, August 25, 2008

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — As Homestar says "Toons," The Cheat walks by, holding an inflatable boom box. He makes some The Cheat noises as he passes. A riff from [[Everybody Knows It]] plays.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — Marshie appears and says "Hey juys, wanna play some james?!" Homestar replies, "Um... not with you, creepazoid!" Then Marshie disappears.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — A red curtain with images of Homestar and Doreauxgard falls. After Homestar says "Characters", Doreauxgard appears and says, "Character? You ain't got no character, whitey! I'm outta here!" and leaves. The curtain rises.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — The scene shifts to the water cooler in the office. Homestar's outfit changes to his bis cas fri outfit. He says, "I need those downloads on my desk by five!" Strong Bad peers in, also in business casual and holding a coffee cup, and says, "Goin' on my seventh coffee run. You want anything?"
*'''[[Store]]''' — A second Homestar puppet appears and says, in a very non-Homestar-ish voice and without moving his mouth, "The store." The original Homestar asks "Who are you?" The second replies, "Well, I am the exact same."
*'''[[Email]]''' — After Homestar says "Email", a hand holding Shark-Tooth Bubs appears. He says, "Is it like an email pie of some kind, or maybe barf bags, all that good stuff?"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the only Main Page that plays at 24 frames per second as opposed to 12 FPS.
*The only "puppet" that appeared before this main page that was not included was [[Frank Bennedetto]].
*This is the website debut of the Doreauxgard puppet, who had previously only been seen in [[Interviews and Public Appearances|public appearances]].
*[[Main Page 23]] does not link to this page.
*This is the first appearance of the brand new Homestar Runner Logo as a preloader. (Previous logos were flat-colored and shaded; This version of logo however, appears to have taken on a metallic sheen)
*The "Email" button is the only one that retains the standard audio files used on the other main pages.
*Doreauxgard's dialogue to Homestar, may be a reference to Franklin Deleno Bluth, a stereotypical black puppet on the television sitcom Arrested Development.

===Remarks===
*The new button style was previously used in [[Main Page 24]].
*The button for [[Main Page 12]] overlaps the white stripe, probably due to the lack of room for 25 buttons.
*[[Main Page 23]] does not contain a link to this page.

===Inside References===
*This contains an instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*The second Homestar that appears was previously seen in [[strong badathlon]].
*The page title mentions [[Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit]].
*Marshie mispronounces [[G#Mispronunciation_of_G|G]]. Homsar also did so in [[Homsar Main Page|his main page]].
**Marshie also says "juys" in [[the show]].
*This marks the first speaking appearance of [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] on the website. In [[theme park]], he was accessed as an Easter egg and did not speak.
**This is the same voice as the "Bubs" in [[mile]].
*Shark-Tooth Bubs mentions [[pie]].
*"Barf bags" is a reference to [[puking]].

'''Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?''' is a kids' show starring [[Homsar]] that was introduced in the email [[for kids]].

<blockquote>Stave it 
OFF 
1 2 3 
and now 
you can 
count to 
THREE</blockquote>

This song was played fifty-one times in a row — though the viewer only has to endure it three times before Strong Bad cuts away.

== Letter of the Day ==
Apparently, each episode has a letter of the day. In the episode shown in the email "for kids", the letter is [[G]]. According to Homsar, it's a "healthy piece of real estate".

== Similarities to Real Shows ==
*The theme song suggests an air of adventure, which is a common theme in contemporary children's shows.
*The paper cutout designs of the kids' heads that appear during the theme song hint toward one of the more common art styles in [[Wikipedia:Blue's Clues|Blue's Clues]]. Also common in Blue's Clues is hearing children's voices interact with the host.
*This show seems to feature a specific letter each episode; also, it contains educational sub-cartoons, like [[Sesame Street]].
*The Counting Song is repetitive, like many educational shows made for young children.

Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe

Flashfight — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:13:49 GMT

Flashfight: m sp

[[Image:Strong Badia Bubs' Stand.PNG|thumb|Is Bubs' right? Or is it left?]]
With such an expansive bank of cartoons that rely so heavily on whimsical humor, it would be near impossible for [[The Brothers Chaps]] to keep the [[Homestar Runner universe]] completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size and humorous nature, various '''inconsistencies''' occur throughout the website and the DVDs. These are usually very minor. According to the site's [[FAQ]], people often ask The Brothers Chaps about inconsistencies, to these questions they answer that "It was either done on purpose or it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it."

==Appearances of Inconsistencies==
*[[Strong Mad]] — [[Strong Mad#Physical Statistics|His height and weight]] are under constant scrutiny.
*[[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|Strong Bad's computers]] — Their capabilities tend to vary. [[Matt Chapman]] even points this out in the [[homestar hair#DVD Version|DVD commentary]] for [[homestar hair]].
**Email [[retirement]] — [[Strong Bad]] states that the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] has a "5 meg hard-drive", although in [[animal]] it claimed to have only a 2 meg hard drive.
*[[Race Track|The race track]] — In [[autobiography]] lane five is the shortest lane, and seven the longest, while in [[disconnected]], the roles are reversed.
*Email [[flashback]] — To celebrate the 100th [[Strong Bad Email]], the screen of the [[Compy 386]] displays "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails!", even though there were some episodes, such as [[2 emails]], where he answered [[Strong Bad Email Statistics#Strong Bad Emails Featuring More Than One Email|more than one]].
*Email [[flashback]] — Strong Bad claims he lost count around email 51, but he began [[caffeine]] (the 91st Strong Bad Email) with "Coming in at number 91, it's, E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!"
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — The scene behind the fence is missing the [[Bear Holding a Shark]] that scared The Cheat in [[date]].
*Email [[pom pom]] — Strong Bad can not type legibly when he is blindfolded, but in [[impression]] he could type properly even while wearing a paper plate mask.
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]] — Strong Sad writes that he can't jump, yet he manages to jump in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], as well as in [[Experimental Film]], [[stunt double]], and [[boring (really)]].
*[[Halloween Fairstival]] — Strong Bad states that he doesn't know or care what a [[haiku]] is, but he recited one in [[japanese cartoon]].
*Email [[dreamail]] — Strong Bad imagines the Lappy as [[Female Lappy 486|female]], but in [[animal]] he claimed it was [[The Paper|The Paper's]] "new brother."
*[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] — The ceiling of the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]] is not as high as it was in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]].
*Email [[geddup noise]] — Strong Bad corrects an email that refers to [[The Geddup Noise]] as "the get up noise," as if he is unfamiliar with that name, but he had called Chairscoot by that name in [[the bet]].
*[[TrogdorCon '97]] — [[The Cheat]] reminds Strong Bad that he doesn't pay him, but in [[lackey]] Strong Bad pays The Cheat with pencil shavings.
*Email [[alternate universe]] — [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] calls the modern Strong Bad a "brightly colored baboon," implying there is no color in the [[Old-Timey]] universe. However, the lyrics to [[The Ballad of The Sneak]] claimed [[The Sneak]] was yellow, and [[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]] is presented in "a color": pink hearts and a pink bouquet appear in the cartoon.
*Email [[retirement]] — The hole in the screen of the Compy 386 is smaller than it was when [[Bubs]] shotgunned it in the end of [[virus]].
*Email [[coloring]] — Marzipan says that "soy is also murder", yet in [[do over]], she asked "Homestar" for the soy crisps.
*[[Happy Hallow-Day]] — This toon indicates that the [[Spooky Woods]] are only spooky during Halloween night, or at least at night. However, in [[Where's The Cheat?]], the woods appear as they do during the other Halloween toons, despite the fact it is neither Halloween nor night.
*Email [[rough copy]] — Strong Sad writes a note to himself to get a bigger notebook, and couldn't manage to write the word "notebook" on one page. However, in [[record book]] he transcribed "Paradise Lost" onto a single grain of rice, in four languages. This is further contradicted in [[DNA Evidence]], in which he writes down notes from various character confessions.
*Email [[concert]] — Strong Sad tells Strong Bad he never heard of [[Limozeen]], but they watched [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] together in [[best thing]].
*Email [[hygiene]] — [[Coach Z]] has to ask Strong Bad where he can get hygiene, but in [[senior prom]] he assures Strong Sad he is spiking the punch with [[Listerine]] only because he is "looking out for all yer hygienes."
*Email [[pizza joint]] — [[Strong Bad]] was shocked to learn that there was "competition" between his pizza joint, [[The Pizz]] and the Cheat's "Cheatsa Pizza", forgetting that there is in fact a ''third'' pizza brand, [[Bubs' Old Pizza]].
*Email [[nightlife]] — [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] is shown to be to the left of [[Strong Badia]], while in [[Summer Short Shorts]] Bubs' Concession Stand was on Strong Badia's right.
*[[Trogday 08]] — Strong Bad uses "na, na, na's" as lyrics in his song, despite them being on his [[Bottom 10]] list.
**Further more, before Bottom 10, Strong Bad had used "na, na, na's" as lyrics in the email [[secret recipes]]
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]] — Strong Bad translates The Cheat's prank call for Marzipan, although Marzipan has been shown as being able to understand The Cheat's language, most notably in [[Date Nite]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*[[Blubb-O's Commercial]] — Bubs managed to open the window of the [[Gremlin]], but in [[road trip]] Strong Bad said the windows could not open from the inside.

== Just a heads up ==
Just so you know, the PlayStation ('95) came out a year before the Nintendo 64 ('96), not the other way around, and CERTAINLY not a four-year headstart. You sure you didn't mix it up with the SNES ('91)? Babbage's doesn't stock those anymore, either (much to my chagrin). --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 00:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Interesting ==

Hey Invisible Robot Fish again again. I like Christian rock music too; the old-school Muppets are awesome; aviation is fascinating; and my dream job would be to be an MLB umpire. For reals. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
::You know some of the bands I like. I fly a Cecsna Skylane 182 RG. Although I want to get eventually get instrument rated and multi-engine so that I can get a Piper Saratoga. I also want to get Raytheon King Air in the next 10 years.
::I officiate at high school Varsity and now Collegiate Level. I am aspiring to be a D1 college umpire. I had dreams of being a major league ump once, but that was short lived as I wasn't willing to pay the price of being in the minor for who knows how long just to maybe make it. Its a narrow door to get through. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

:::I like Christian rock also, Chris Tomlin probably being my favorite. Some others I like are Steven Curtis Chapman, Switchfoot (the less recent stuff) and some Jars of Clay songs (some of their music is just too slow for my liking). Oh, and in response to your thanks for the haikus: "No probalo!" [[User:Powered by The Kate|Powered by The Kate]] 22:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Jars of Clay has been downhill since their first album, and they have been disapointing in concert. Chris Tomlin just flat out rocks, we do a lot of his songs at our church. Steven Curtis Chapman has a special place in my heart becuase his song, "I will be here" was the song that we had our first dance to at our wedding reception. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 13:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::I love Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Live Out Loud" because it was kind of our "team spirit song" for my first ever mission trip. Every time I hear it I get this happy feeling and think, "That was the trip where I met about half of my best friends!" I have never seen Jars of Clay in concert before, so I wouldn't know how that was, but their music has been a disappointment (I think I spelled that wrong) to me. We do sing a lot of Chris Tomlin at our church, too, but most of our music is by Jesse Reeves, who, I recently discovered, my parents had in their youth group at one point. They got him into his first ever band, and he was apparently really good. I don't know if you've heard of him, but I just thought it was a cool connection to have. : ) [[User:Powered by The Kate|Powered by The Kate]] 22:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::Nah, have never heard of him. Our praise band at church has gotten to the poing now where we are going to the recording studio and going to cut a few tracks. When we do I'll share them with yall. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC) Since I have ran a few state-wide events and retreats I have gotten to jam with a few big names; Charlie Hall, and Caedmon's Call (right after the wrote ''God of Wonders''). {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== Show Preview ==

I noticed you've been playing with your userpage to figure out how all of the markup code works here. It's certianly the right place to do it, and you are more than welcome to, but I have one request. Right below the edit box is a botton called ''Show Preview''. You can click on it to show what the page will look like when you do save the changes, but it won't create an entry in [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]], which can get flooded rather quickly if you save every edit without a preview. It just makes things a lot easier for everybody. Thanks, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 12:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
:Will do. The page was loading differently in the ''Show Preview'', but I'll use that more. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

== Do you hate me? ==

Invisible Robot Fish, many of your edit summaries concerning my edits are a ''real'' kick in butt. What's the deal? --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 02:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
:One thing I have realized while being here is that there are a few trump cards in this wiki. It's Dot Com, JoeyDay, and Tom are a few. There was a series of times within a 10 minute period where you continually reverted edit that had already been fixed. I can't say that I have never done that. But as noted on your talk page, this wasn't the first time that you had been told not engage in a reverting war. I am one of many people that patroll recent changes, and it seemed that all I was doing for 20 minutes was changing things back that you had done (most of which, were corrected by Its Dot Com). If memory serves me correct, you were deleting whole sections and images that didn't need to be deleted (except one, I will grant that one of your deletions was in fact a good one). So yes, at that time, I was frustrated and wanted you to stop changing pages that were just fine. Wiki pages undergo intense scrutiny to I think a laughable level. So if you see a fun fact from a toon that aired 2 months ago, chances are, its a good one. Grammar and spelling changes are always welcome, but give more thought before you delete whole fun facts that have been there for months. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

== The Cheat's knife ==

That's not a fun fact candidate, so it doesn't belong on the STUFF page. I started a discussion [[Talk:bedtime_story#The_Cheat.27s_knife|here]] for you about the knife. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
:Noted, I didn't know where else to put that. Thank you. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:15, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

== Images ==

Hi, Invisible Robot Fish. Just so you know, you can only have one personal image on your userpage. You have at least 4 by now: [[:Image:Veggiepirates.jpeg]], [[:Image:Muppets.jpeg]], [[:Image:Ump.jpeg]], and [[:Image:Skylane.jpeg]]. You're going to have to choose one, and mark the others for deletion. Thanks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:grumble grumble. Gimme a minute to think. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}}
::"We are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. We just stay home and lie around! And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you: 'We don't do anything.'" I really like your pictures, and I really hope that ump was about to toss the Twins' manager. It's too bad that we can all each only have one on our [[hRWiki:User space|pages]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

:::::I was looking on the help pages and couldn't find instructions to delete an image. Where is that help info located? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:14, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::It's just like any other page. Just go to the edit tab and add <nowiki>{{delete|personal image}}</nowiki> to the unwanted images. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Question ==

Hey there you seem like a experiaentes user so can you give me step by step instructions on how to get thouse cool signatures? PLEASE!
:Everything I learned, I got from the Help section on your right hand side. Follow the instructions under 'signature' **tip** when practicing, use your userpage and the show preview button. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

==History==

Hello IRF. I was reading your userpage, and I noticed that you have apparently been around H*R for quite some time, perhaps one of the longest on the whole Wiki. Which got me thinking. Just how long have you been around, and how much do you remember about the pre-2002 era of H*R.com (the point where Live Journals runs dry as source info for [[H*R.com updates 2001]]). I look forward to hearing from you. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
:I can't remember when I discovered the wiki. I was a big Homestar fan starting about the end of high school, to my freshman year in college which was 1999 or 2000 (wow that was 3 computers ago!). I don't remember when I discovered the wiki but I know that I kicked around here for a LONG time before I actually got a username and starting contributing. As to what was on the site at that time, your asking me to invade memories that have long been washing away by many long nights at O'Sullivan's Wharf (Sully's we called it) in Norfolk, VA. I really don't remember. I do remember when 'Search for the Yello Dello' came out. Can you imagine a H*R world in which we didn't yet know that Coach Z couldn't say the word job?!?!
:{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:39, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
::Wow.. And I thought that the fact the I remember [[japanese cartoon]] comming out makes ''me'' an old fan. Way to go! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:32, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
:::That's impressive. I only jumped on the bandwagon about the time [[labor day]] came out ([[suntan]] was the very first thing I saw, even before the main page or anything. My cousin sent me a link while chatting on MSN with me). Although I'm not sure if it was quite 1999 when you first found it, H*R.com started January 1st 2000. I guess you probably found it mid to end 2000. You remember before there were [[Strong Bad Emails]] I assume. I am curious though, do you remember how you first found it? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::::Hmmm, there were definately a few emails, so perhaps my timeline is off, but I went to college in 2000 and it was a friend of mine that showed me it. H*R was a cult thing (in a good way) on our hall (which was really cool since no one else knew about it yet). We'd cruise the site, d/l from napster (still legal then) and then play either ''Motorcross'' through the LAN or ''You don't know jack''. Ah college was certainly worth the 100 Grand I blew on it. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:32, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::Hmmm... Quite a quandry then. Sounds like it must have been sometime in 2002 then, since the begining of [[H*R.com updates 2002|2002]] had a total of 8 [[Strong Bad Email]]s. That was right around when the site started regular, without fail, weekly updates, it seems. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:12, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::The emails were not regular yet. In 2002 I was a junior **cough cough 2nd sophamore year cough cough** so I know it was way before that. When did Yellow Dello come out? Because it was around then. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:17, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::The original, or the DVD? The DVD was possible [[Talk:H*R.com updates 2001#C. March 31st, 2001|Circa March 31st, 2001]]. See [http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?12243 here] for why we think this to possibly be the case. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:00, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::::I remember knowing about H*R (not being really a fan then) before I graduated college (pre-2002). And I remember watching [[guitar]] sometime around then (before or after? not sure, I might have really old logs I can check). But for a while, I kept thinking I knew about SBE's a while before I graduated. Of course the timelines don't match "mine" so I dunno. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:25, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Did many people even know about DVD's in 2001? I'm thinking it was the original purely because I do also remember seeing the DVD version for the first time and thinking that having all the commentary and such was a novel idea. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:06, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

== My Cousin Vinny ==

Just curious whether you mean that good, bad, or indifferent, and whether it applies to everybody in general or someone in particular. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:Genreal, humurous, non-jaded comment, directed usually at new or non-logged in people. Just a general comment that sometimes something completely fine and correct will be posted, as someone will come along and ''rv'' {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::The reason I ask is that there's this anonny who keeps making lots of changes to several pages. Some of his edits are good, and some are not. Occasionally we'll go through all his changes and keep the ones that should stay and revert the ones that shouldn't, but lately it has been so much trouble that often the whole page gets reverted. That's not a very elegant solution, but he has ignored repeated attempts at communication by several users via his talk page. We have asked him either to stop what he's doing or, at the very least, explain himself, but we are met with silence. *sigh* — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:11, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== PNGs ==

Actually, why are you uploading GIFs? Our [[HRWiki:Image_use_policy|image policy]] states that PNGs should be used if at all possible. The GIF format doesn't even support 24-bit color. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:47, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:Unless you are at computer that has Macromedia Fireworks (a $500 program) or another program that makes PNG's this it is not possible to get a PNG. So you must ask yourself this question: Which is better, to have less content and edits from someone that cannot make a PNG file, or to put up a GIF for now, and have someone replace it later? BTW I am aware of the image policy.{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:54, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::What platform are you on? I know that even the most basic programs on both Windows (Paint) and Mac (Preview) support the PNG format. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:03, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Sweet mother of mystery! I didn't know ''Paint'' had PNG. My apologies. I just always thought of ''Paint'' as a dumb program that did BMPs. Plus TBC constatntly rag on it so I never bothered to use it. My other computer has Macromedia Studio and that is what I am used to but I never go to the wiki from that comp. From now on, I'll use PNG. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:07, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::::Cool. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::::FYI: From those of us poor enough to have to use Open Source... I do my PNG's using [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] Photoshop clone.

And I thought about ''limn → 0;(1/n) would be undefined''... actually 1/0 is undefined, but here, the limn → 0;(1/n)=∞, if my memory serves me right.--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 22:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I always use practical examples:
::::limn → ∞(1/n) = 0
:::::1/999999 = .000001 or 0
::::::limn → 0(1/n) = undefined
:::::because 1/0 deviding by zero is undefined. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 22:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::[[Image:1overn.PNG]] 
:::::::limn → 0+ (1/n) = +∞
:::::::limn → 0- (1/n) = -∞
:::::::limn → 0 (1/n) = undefined {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::::As the graph there shows, as ''n'' approaches 0 (from a positive direction), 1/''n'' gets closer to (positive) infinity. The limit, therefore, is infinity. The [[Wikipedia:Division_by_zero#Limits_and_division_by_zero|Wikipedia article]] states that the expression 1/0 is still technically undefined, because infinity is not a real number, but the ''limit'' is defined. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:28, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Or is that what you were saying? I'm not sure what that third line under the graph is. Is it that if you don't specify a direction then you can't tell whether it should be positive or negative, and therefore undefined? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::::::::Cool, group participation. Exactly, the notation above states is that as you approach zero from the right or 0+the limit is +∞ but when you approach 0 from from the left or 0- the limit is -∞. Since you can't discuss both limits at the same time in a meaningful way, when you siimply state limn → 0 (1/n) there is no answer, or undefined. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::::Hmmmm. I should've known better than that (I did actually study the stuff you know). I have the urge to go back and fix the mistake and pretended it never happened, but Alas... It would make even less sense if I do. So yes, I should've written limn → 0+ (1/n) = +∞. 0+ more specifically means approaching from the positive to that number, and 0- approaching from the negative to that number (we can generalize it to any number). In fact... and this one *should* be correct... limn → a f(n) exists if and only if limn → a+ f(n) = limn → a- f(n) (and of course they both exist). This is exactly what you showed above in the graph. It is a very obvious definition, but it is defined nonetheless. Somewhere; not sure where. The [[Wikipedia:Limit_%28mathematics%29#Formal_definition|formal definition]] of the limit says something totally different from what I just mentioned and is actually a different beast using epsilon-delta notation which takes a while to understand. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:31, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

== About "Black Mountain" ==

About the Monte Verde revert you just did. I don't think the Monte Verde is a valid reference since there ARE things named Monte Negro. If such things didn't exist I wouldn't have deleted it. (And yes, I knew negro and verde meant "black" and "green" in Spanish--[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

:Frankly, IRF, we were hit by the same troll we recently had in bot form. He created several hundreds of usernames, [[HRWiki:NSMC vandal]], and took quite a bit of time to recover from.

== Splitting Nicknames ==

Hey there. I was helping with the nickname-splitting effort on [[Nicknames]], but people are asking on the talk page as to why these are being split. Sounds like the consensus is that we should put them back the way they were. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 23:05, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
:I'd say far from a consensus. It's just 3 people, and although I respect dot com's opinion a lot, it looks terrible right now. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
If we're going to put them in categories, then we're grouping the nicknames by the type of toon they come from. We should take the next step in keeping them actually grouped by toon as well. Chronological order makes the most sense therefore. Either way, please at least reply to my comments on the talk page there before taking the trouble to alphabetize them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:35, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
:Timing...I started making changes before you even put the comments there, and then after I spent about 10 minutes working on it I saw what you said and it made sense. You should know by now that I don't just ignore people's comments, and since there is not instant messaging here I didn't know about your post until I finished my edit. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 00:30, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, I never thought you were ignoring anyone. :) But I did want to leave you a message so that, depending on how the discussion went, you wouldn't go to a lot of unnecessary trouble. Just curious, why did you pick ''reverse'' chronological order? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I don't think you should use ''reverse'' chronological order or chronological order... but rather [[Wikipedia:Reverse Polish notation|''Reverse'' Polish notation]], it's even better than regular old [[Wikipedia:Polish notation|Polish notation]]!

===Unavoidable Wiki Break===
Due, in major part to my working at a Summer Camp that does not have reliable internet access, Flashfight is taking a wikibreak until about September. He will more than likely log on on certain Saturdays, only to be discouraged by the lack of patrolled edits, and be turned away from major edits until about October, when he will then remember that the point is to contribute meaningfully to a project greater than himself, and come back.

===Defender of the [[HRWIKI:Spoons|Spoons]]===
Starting in about September 2007, Flashfight took upon himself to be the defender of the standard on Spoons.
 To Be Deleted under differing interpretations of Spoons:
*{{todo}}[[Garden Hose]]
*{{done}}Strong Bad's Towel
*{{done}}Trench Coats

===Brief History===
*Flashfight was told about H*R by a Summer Camp Counselor.
*Flashfight is now himself a Summer Camp Counselor spreading the word of H*R.
*Flashfight, ironically, is not in charge of stuff.
*Flashfight has, through his involvement in the Scouting organization, been awarded three medals.
*On a scale from one to awesome, Flashfight is inept at HTML.
*Flashfight Promises to add some paragraphs after he is confortable with the set-up of his page
*[[Icon References In Halloween Costumes]] has been vandalized attacking my sexuality...Awexome!!

===Articles that Flashfight Takes Credit for Inventing===
*[[Hammerspace]]
*[[sbemail195]] (does this even count!?)
*[[Cosby]] (I'm sure this doesn't count)

===Barnstar for Excellence in Discussion===
[[Image:Flashfight Medal Blue.png|right|175px]]
I am wholly of the belief that we as a community do very little to recognize and promote strong arguments and civil discourse on the Talk Namespace. So, after some time, and one late night brainstorming session, I decided to '''be bold''' and create the Medal for Excellence in Discussion, who's design is a reflection of the requirements and standards.
*The Medal Shape — reflects the creation by Flashfight, but in no means is an attempt to limit the people who can award the medal.
*The Sky Blue Ribbon — taken from the Flag of the United Nations; As The Wiki works only when consensuses are worked towards, the blue reflects the recipient's commitment to the consensus.
*The White Charge — a stylized speaker at a podium; It is also important for the survival of The Wiki that strong opinions to be voiced. While strong opinions are a necessity, only through strong convincing arguments can consensuses be reached, and the speaker at the podium is a reflection of the recipient's strong arguments made over the course of multiple Talk discussions.
*The Olive Wreath — A universal symbol for Peace; Civility is something that above all needs to be cherished in any award for Excellence in Discussion. The recipient should not be one to engage in edit wars, nor one to ignore discussion. The recipient works towards constructively moving opinion towards one point of view, but is willing to graciously accept the will of the community if the consensus opposes his own viewpoint.

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! I dunno! You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the Internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of a Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." in the corner in place of the "What's new" text.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No, no, don't touch that!

His mouth is a broken JPEG (with "TH" as the alt text), his legs are rendered as two overlapping red and blue layers, his midsection is missing, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about, as seen on [[Dancin' Bubs]]. It is a bit larger than it should be.}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a ''million years'' ago.

''{Cut to The Field, now a cloud scene. The Stick is gone. Strong Bad has one big foot instead of both legs, his black mark is too high, and his head and mouth are lopsided. The Cheat is floating around the screen, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black Rather Dashing and a colon fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and flies off in random directions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition...

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, he fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man.

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, to which Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi— ''{salsa music fades away}'' wait... why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do?! Where's my Compy?!?

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{more shaken than ever}'' YOU MURDERER!! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand! YAAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat squeaks, as though he is telling Strong Bad to wait up, and runs after him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs, can I have my leg back now?

''{There is a long pause.}

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hysterical}'' Dear Strong Bad, I doh du duoh crapfully yours. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard a few times.}'' I...ID DOH DU DUOH CRAPFULLY YOURS! I can relate. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I ''can't'' re''late!'' ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and '''mix''' ''{He hits his head.}'' it up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''names'', Davey! ''{he hits his head on the keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==

*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen, the [[Quote of the Week]] button, [[Sketchbook]] button, [[Weekly Fanstuff]] button, and hidden main page button are all clickable.
**Clicking hidden main page button leads to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**Clicking the Quote of the Week button makes it bounce around the screen until it gets lodged at the top by its bottom corner. Clicking "Hear it" causes a pixelated broom to scroll vertically along the screen while making a loud distorted noise, and some of the links disappear off the bottom of the screen. Unless the X is pressed, the quote box stays there for the rest of the email. When clicking the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen, while the links reappear. When viewing the Flash file, if "Don't TAPE it" is scrolled over, it changes to "Don't TAKE it!".
**Clicking on the Sketchbook leads to a glitched sketchbook box, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scrolling over it causes a green X to appear overtop. Clicking it again causes it to close.
**Clicking on Weekly Fanstuff leads to a glitched fanstuff box, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space in the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's The Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and [[The King of Town's Grill|a grill]]. The picture has many fractions at the bottom (which are actually the text "sticktoyourbooks" in the font [[Fonts#M|MS Reference Specialty]]). Hovering the cursor over the misspelled "OCⓧSLE" instead of the close botton causes the words 'A BOOK' to appear in green. Clicking on it causes the box to slide to the top and disappear.
*Clicking on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail shows the shotgunned Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], with signs reading "Like Used!" and "Slightly Shotgunned!"
*Clicking on the fan on the right shows an excerpt of the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon, but with Fightgar using Homestar's leg as a gun.
:'''NARRATOR:''' ...to protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation#Quadratic Formula|quadratic formula]] is an algebraic equation used to determine the roots of a [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation|quadratic equation]].
*The Teen Girl Squad issue number is [[pi]] truncated to 8 decimal places.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the only page on the site that produces a pop-up browser window automatically.
*This is the only email in which the [[HR:main nav.swf|navbar]] and the email are combined into one Flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words). When the [[random toon]] ("rando") and [[Podstar Runner|podcast]] links were added to the navbar and the "[[legal]]" link was shortened from "legal ''stuff''", The Brothers Chaps probably chose not to update this page, as the navbar is animated here, and could be difficult to change after the animation had been completed. This navigation bar was added to the DVD version; however, unlike the DVD version, the [[Podstar Runner]] version of this email did not have the navigation bar at the bottom.
*The broken JPEG icon is used in the Netscape family of web browsers, including [[Netscape|Netscape Navigator]], [[Wikipedia:Mozilla|Mozilla]], and [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#spy vs spy|spy vs spy]]".
*On most [[homestarrunner.com]] pages, there are either 16 or 17 XHTML errors that are generated by the <embed> tag. The page for this email, however, only has 14 errors, as there are fewer embedded objects.

=== Remarks ===
[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|Ah! That is not a small number! That is a ''big'' number!]]
*Since the navbar is contained in this email's Flash file, it does not appear on the page until the toon has finished loading.
*Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created, although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made. The idea of a computer virus is much older, dating at least back to the 1972 science fiction novel, ''[[Wikipedia:When HARLIE Was One|When HARLIE Was One]]''. Even so, it would be very unlikely that any sort of virus scanner would have existed in 1982.
*In 2004, the year of the release of this email, only about [http://www.sophos.com/pressoffice/news/articles/2004/12/pr_uk_20041208yeartopten.html 100,000 known viruses] existed; well under the 423,827 that Edgar reports.
*Strong Bad's head is larger than normal (but not his wrestling mask) while he is talking to Strong Sad. It reverts back to normal when he runs for The Cheat, but then regresses back to the larger head once he enters into the black.
*The letters that make up [[ASCII art]] Marzipan refer to parts of her body: "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress. Her mouth, however, is a hyphen or an "O".
*Strong Bad says that Edgar from the [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] program is his "main man." However, he claims in "[[2 years]]" that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde."
*The reason the "making out with Marzipan" pop-up doesn't come up in the .swf, or Flash, version is because the information for the pop-up is stored in the HTML source code. All that the Flash file does is send a JavaScript command to the browser, opening the pop-up window.
*In the Fake QOD, the words "Quote of the Day (Or So)" are displayed reversed, as though in a mirror, and, instead of "Hear It!" and "Get It!", the buttons are "Hear It!" and "Don't TAPE It", although the latter is hidden by the top of the screen. "TAPE" changes to "TAKE" when moused over.
**This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake Quote of the Week (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
*Allowing the fake Sketchbook to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch—a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
**The reason for the color switcher glitch is because in the .swf file of the glitched up sketchbook, there is a black box to the left of the screen, which covers up the screen on the left.
*This is the second e-mail made using the Widescreen technique. The first was [[flashback]].
*Clicking on the "main" on the navigation bar leads to the [[404'd]] page. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained in some environments by dividing zero by zero and/or other mathematical errors.
*When the fake popups appear followed by the real one, the fake ones look similar to the windows from some of the older Microsoft Windows operating systems. Depending on which operating system and desktop theme one uses, the real popup looks quite different from the fake ones. Especially users of operating systems such as Mac OS or Linux will notice this, while Windows 98 users will see no obvious difference.
*At the beginning of the Email, the contrast buttons will slightly increase and decrease the volume.
*In the Podcast version, Strong Bad looks back and forth when the ads pop up, even though they all appear in one area.
*Most shotguns spread out from the barrel, whereas the blast from Bubs's shotgun seems to narrow down as it reaches the back wall.
*When the "F" for [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and the "S" for [[Sketchbook]] are clicked, they change into a "[[Quote of the Week|Q]]".
*When the top of the screen lowers to reveal the weeklies, using the tab key will highlight a rectangle where the new toon message is displayed. While it can't be clicked, pressing enter while it is highlighted will lead to [[Halloween Fairstival]].

=== Goofs ===
*One of Strong Sad's expressions, "whistful," is spelled incorrectly. It should be "wistful."
*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable.
*After Homestar grabs "downloads", "characters", and "games" from the bottom, "toons" is no longer clickable, unlike the other remaining links. Then, at the end of the email when everything else returns to normal, all the links disappear.
*The fake QOD, fanstuff, and sketchbook stay on the screen until the watcher of the email gets rid of them, even after Bubs shotguns the Compy, and in the Easter eggs.
*After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears.
*The links between "toons" and "contact" disappear while the Quote of the Day Easter egg is active.

===Glitches===
*As Strong Bad runs away from Bubs, his left arm momentarily disappears. This is easier to see if viewed in the Flash file.

=== Inside References ===

*This is an extreme instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" title is from [[50 emails]].
*"Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." is from the counting song in "[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]".
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [[Character Cards]] that has since been removed from the site.
*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby]] knocks over to let the player into [[Naked Ned]]'s cottage.
**Using a broom to play Marzipan's garbled noise may be an oblique reference to people mistaking her for a broom.
*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]] (It has since been changed). The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
**The "Click on the Monkey" pop-up(s) shows an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older version of Homestar]].
*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the [[Yearbook Character Page]], as does the picture of him inside a giant M.
**This time, the giant M shows Strong Mad's "M" insignia on his singlet, whereas in [[Yearbook Character Page]], the giant M did not.
*The sound effect that plays when The Ugly One appears is taken from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*[[The Ugly One]]'s line and the sound effects for her slapping the King of Town in the face come from [[crazy cartoon]]. However, she slightly misquotes it: the original line was "I can do it! I ''will'' do it nine times."
*The powering-down sound that plays just before Bubs walks across the screen is the same sound that plays just before the [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]
*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Bubs's right arm is also about twice as large as usual.
*Bubs's broken JPEG mouth bears the letters "TH." This might be a reference to his other identity, [[The Thnikkaman]].
*During the final glitch scene (just before Bubs "fixes" the computer), the song playing in the background is the intro to "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That A Ghost]]".
*Strong Bad's line during the final glitch scene is taken directly from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The cloud background during the final glitch scene is the same cloud background used in [[New Boots]].
*[[Image:virusdthecheat.gif|thumb|Virus'd The Cheat]] During the final glitch scene, The Cheat is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
*# The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
*# One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
*# A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
*# Another drawn version from Strong Bad's site.
*# A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
*# A Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the [[Fan Stuff]] part of the [[Museum]].
*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.
**Looking closely (or zooming into the Flash file) reveals that the fan is once again mysteriously floating in space, just like when the Tandy 400 blew up.
*Bubs sells the [[Broken Compy Menu|broken Compy 386]] as he did with the [[King of Town Email|broken Tandy 400]].
*Strong Bad's muttered last line "how do you text with boxing gloves on?" is a variation of the common "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]".


=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Linux kernel|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]). Another reference to Linux can be found in the [[Videlectrix]] game [[Hallrunner]].
*[[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] is a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which until 2001 used bespectacled computer nerd [[Wikipedia:Peter Norton|Peter Norton]] as a front man.
*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, referring to the [[Wikipedia:Onion skinning|Onion skinning]] feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.
*"Click on the monkey" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Pop-up ad|popups]] where clicking on an object (ranging from targets to robbers, iPods, etc.) will usually bombard one's computer with spyware, viruses, etc.
*The dance The Cheat performs when Strong Bad says, "Let's do a dance for the computer genius man," looks like [[Wikipedia:Dana Carvey|Dana Carvey]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Church Lady|Church Lady]]" dance from the classic SNL sketch.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bourgeoisie|Bourgeoise]]," one of the emoticons acting as Strong Sad's head, is the feminine form of the term used in [[Wikipedia:Marxism|Marxism]] to describe the middle or upper class that oppose the [[Wikipedia:Proletariat|proletariat]] (working class) in the class struggle.
**Another emoticon, "o' what a night", references [[Wikipedia:The Four Seasons (group)|The Four Seasons]]' hit "[[Wikipedia:December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)|December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)]]".
*The "ding" sound heard after EdgarWare finds the viruses is taken from some versions of [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].
*The screen "It's now safe to turn your computer off." is similar to the one displayed when shutting down a Windows computer that cannot turn itself off. The actual message is "It is now safe to turn off your computer", and the style of this message is taken from Windows 95 through 98. (and some later versions of Windows, if the computer is unable to turn itself off.)
*"A wise guy, eh?" was frequently muttered (in a very similar tone of voice to how Strong Bad says it) by [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe Howard]] of the comedy group [[Wikipedia:The Three Stooges|The Three Stooges]].

===Fast Forward===
*[[Main Page 22]] is based on this email.
*The shotgunned Compy would reappear in [[retirement]].
*Two of The Cheat's designs seen near the end (just before everything returns to normal) can be viewed as a few alternatives in the DVD release of [[The Reddest Radish]]; namely, the child's drawing and the crossing sign (but without the word "x-ing").

== DVD Version ==
*The central pop-up (that is, the one that would actually pop up on the website version) does not appear.
*Unlike all other DVD emails, this has the [[HR:main nav.swf|navbar]] on the bottom.
*The way the Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly Fanstuff easter eggs work has changed. All three are combined into one easter egg, which goes to the Weekly Fanstuff easter egg, then the Quote of the Week easter egg, and finally the Sketchbook easter egg.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' This email looks tiny, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It's a funny shape.

'''MIKE:''' It's smaller than the rest, and there's little words at the bottom.

'''MATT:''' This doesn't make any sense to me!

'''MIKE:''' What's going on?

'''MATT:''' S— Oh, no. Strong Bad must have gotten some type of a wirus!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Virus.

'''MATT:''' B— Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' Virus?

'''MATT:''' Oh. I used the German pronunciation.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' K. Um, so this was, uh, this was a— this email was kind of a big— big production.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Took longer than most.

'''MATT:''' A long time in coming.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see— he hasn't used "deleted" on the Lappy yet, now that he has a new computer, has he?

'''MIKE:''' I guess not. I wonder what it looks like when he deletes something on the Lappy.

'''MATT:''' I dunno. "Drop a train on 'em" was from a bad hip-hop song I made in college — ''{Mike laughs}''— where I sampled the soundtrack from a Dirty Harry movie.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good song.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So this, obviously, was, uh, pretty fun to make where you could just kinda put stuff wherever and just...

'''MATT:''' It's more like ''your'' computer is getting the virus than Strong Bad's computer getting the virus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The whole world is getting the virus.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3" up there at the top.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm. There's uh, Strong Sad's head is the, uh, his little emoticons from the uh, his—

'''MATT:''' Strong Sad's Web journal.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad Journal.

'''MATT:''' That was from an unused character page we never made.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something good, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' Make it— Make it funny.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{adopts different tone}'' T— To— ''{normal voice}'' Oh, yeah, weren't we gonna do— I was going to be a character when we did this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Start doing Homestar.

'''MATT:''' All right...

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a lot of me's.

'''MIKE:''' That ''was'' a lot of you's.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike, some of them were old me's that don't look so great.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. I thought you looked pretty good back in the old days.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look bad.

'''MIKE:''' Look Bad!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's a different character.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who was Look Bad again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, what are they doing there? Is he gonna eat that doo-doo shovel?

'''MIKE:''' No, I think was going to take a picture of it, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But he doesn't have a camera, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' But the camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's got a mustache.

'''MIKE:''' The camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He clearly wanted... a doo-doo-stache.

'''MIKE:''' Who's that, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' That looks kinda like Bubs, from Website. But I don't think so. Oh, look, it's ''Pitfall''.

'''MIKE:''' That did happen in ''Pitfall''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' If you flick the on and off switch a lot, you get a little floating Pitfall Harry through the trees!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like The Cheat's little sassy dance there, Homestar. Did you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I did. Hands on hips!

'''MIKE:''' How'd you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I said, "Hands on hips!"

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your leg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That is not my leg! That looks like a shotgun.

'''MIKE:''' Bu—

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That shotgun looks dangerous, Mike. I don't agree with its appearance in this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' You shouldn't play with shotguns, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Did you learn that the hard way?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Penny Hardaway?

'''MIKE:''' I'm allowed to— I'm allowed to draw them, though. Drawing them's no problem.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Drawing them is bad.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Here I come!

'''MIKE:''' See?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! I lost my leg!

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's— Bubs— Bubs has it there.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad looks like he's a little delirious in this part.

'''MIKE:''' He's— He's sad. He's had a great loss. People sometimes act like this... when they're experiencing great losses.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But— Mike, a great loss sounds like a contradiction.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't— I've never had any ''great'' losses.

'''MIKE:''' "Great"— "Great" meaning "large," not meaning—

'''HOMESTAR:''' All my losses are bad losses.

'''MIKE:''' You've never had a great loss?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Except maybe, some pounds. ''{Pause}'' He just really put a hole right through that thing, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Didn't go through the wall, though.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope. ''{whispering}'' Let's get quiet.

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' Okay.

=== Fun Facts ===

* Matt says Strong Bad got a "wirus" and then calls this "the German pronunciation". This is because many native German speakers have difficulty distinguishing the "v" and "w" sounds in English and might thus say "wirus" instead of "virus".
* Homestar demonstrates his ignorance that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible hands or arms]].
* [[Wikipedia:Penny Hardaway|Penny Hardaway]] is a professional basketball player who has played guard for the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and New York Knicks.

The Couch

Flashfight — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:10:43 GMT

Flashfight: caps

[[Image:The couch.PNG|thumb|300px|Comfy and patched]]
'''The Couch''' is an orange sofa with a [[duct tape]] patch on the right back cushion in the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]]. It appears that [[Strong Bad]] sleeps on the couch. This is where Strong Bad does his [[Couch Mumbling]] and where [[Homestar Runner]] enjoys spitting [[Teddy Grahams]] all over the place. Strong Bad has [[Strong Bad's EGGS|a lot of eggs]] that he keeps in the couch.

There are conflicting stories regarding why the couch sports its duct tape patch, as revealed in the email [[couch patch]]. Strong Bad says that he cut a hole in the couch with a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]] to hide his [[Aztec]] [[gold]], whereupon the couch "unleashed a stench of biblical proportions". Furthermore, it was at that moment when Strong Bad realized that his "Aztec gold" was nothing more than a sack full of oil filters. The stench was so bad, Strong Bad says, that he had to call in [[Has Matt?|a Hazmat team]] to hose him down.

Strong Sad insists that the patch had its origins when [[Lil' Strong Bad]] thought that American track athlete [[Wikipedia:Carl Lewis|Carl Lewis]] was a woman named "Carla Lewis", and that "she" was "hott". Lil' Strong Bad wrote his feelings for Lewis on the couch with a [[Permanent Marker]]. Strong Bad presumably put the patch on the couch when he found out the truth about Carl Lewis, to cover up the embarrassing writing.

An "anonymous" member of the community (actually [[Coach Z]]) insists that the couch is patched because of an unfortunate dinner party one night. Allegedly "doo doo meat" was served in the evening's gumbo, and soon the Coach had to puke. He then [[Puking|puked]] in a rip in the couch, which has now been professionally sealed for obvious reasons. Coach Z is filled with remorse and shame for vomiting in the couch, and Strong Bad vehemently denies having put doo doo meat in the gumbo.

Hammerspace

Flashfight — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:07:43 GMT

Flashfight: /* Toons */ cap

[[Image:The Cheat hammerspace.PNG|thumb|[[Firebert]] emerging from Hammerspace]]
Residents of the [[Homestar Runner universe]] often reach into '''[[Wikipedia:Hammerspace|Hammerspace]]''' to access regularly unavailable items. Hammerspace is an imagined "storage realm" that allows cartoon characters to have access to practically any item they wish without impeding the plot or ruining comedic timing. As in most other animated works of fiction, the other characters usually make no mention of and seemingly do not respond to the appearance of the new items.
It can be said that [[The Paper]] almost always emerges from Hammerspace, due to the lack of a visible printer, although the email [[the paper]] shows a printer falling too.

==[[Main Pages]]==
*[[Main page 1]] — [[Homestar Runner]]'s space helmet appears from and disappears into Hammerspace.
*[[Main page 2]] — The Christmas ornaments appear from and disappear into Hammerspace.
*[[Main page 3]] — Homestar's sun glasses appears from and disappears into Hammerspace.
*[[Main page 4]] — A bowling ball falls from Hammerspace.
*[[Main page 14]] — Homestar's towel reappears from Hammerspace.
*[[Main page 16]] — [[Decemberween]] ornaments appear from and disappear into Hammerspace. Also, snow falls onto Homestar from Hammerspace.

Since it does not close the edit window, it saves the time usually spent repeatedly clicking "edit" and then "save page", and prevents flooding of [[Special:Recentchanges]]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 22:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
:Show Preview really is a handy tool. You'll save yourself a lot of time, and you'll save [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] from a lot of flooding. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
::Mr. McCloud, Just to reiterate (and I don't want this to seem like the community is yelling at you): every single edit you make (every time you hit the '''Save Page''' button) logs an edit into our Recent Changes Page. By making multiple small changes to the same page (instead of using the Show Preview button) you do three real disservices to the wiki. First, you flood Recent Changes, thereby kicking out other changes off of the 30 that usually display, meaning contributors have a harder time finding edits that go against firm held consensus. Second, you make the job of the Recent Changes Patrol (which I sometimes feel like the only member) much harder. The RCP exists to check every single edit to check for Spam and the like (and is actually the reason some edits have orange exclamation points next to them on your Recent Changes log.) Third, you may actually be burying where the RCP and other editors can't find it or have a harder time reverting it.
::I want to restate that the community is not against you. I personally think that mostly all of the edits you've made have been productive and have followed the basic tenet to "leave the knowledge base a little better when you log out then when you logged on." Keep up the good work, but heed the advice of your fellow community member. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 22:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Flashfight: /* Your Sig */ spelling

== Editing others' talk posts and userpages ==

Hello, Flashfight. It's not our practice to edit others' talk page comments and userpages casually, even to eliminate redlinks. Thanks, and talk atcha later. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:52, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, sometimes we use redlinks as placeholders or for other reasons, and in those cases they shouldn't be removed. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with fixing ones that were made in error. For example, if you want to fix [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Special:Recent Changes|Special:Recent Changes]] (shouldn't have a space) and [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Special:contibutions/Orange Star|Special:contibutions/Orange Star]] (should have an ''-r-''), then go for it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== Relation ==

Flashlight,what was that for?! Homestar and Homsar were seen at Bubs' Concession Stand.[[User:Katonator 3000|Katonator]][[User Talk:Katonator 3000|3000]] 06:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:But that has nothing to do with their relationship. I personally am seen standing next to possibly dozens of people on the train every day. And likewise that is not any indication of our relationship. — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 06:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::Actually, I quite agree with Flashfight here. Characters appearing together is not indicative of a relationship. This is something I've been saying privately for a while, as I could not find an appropriate place to bring it up. Several other relationship articles suffer from this as well (for example, Marzipan and Homestar talking together in [[helium]]. So they're having a conversation. I don't think that's really a relationship reference). And the looking old one even less: they just happen to be waiting in line together. In short, interaction does not necessarily make a relationship. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I disagree. Having been a nerd all my life, I know that any girl who talks to me for more than 5 seconds is secretly in love with me, hence it is a reference. But seriously, naw, that's stupid, and one of these days i intend to purge those pages of anything but actual relationship indicators. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Wouldn't it be easier just to purge all these relationship articles from our beloved wiki? Or at least most of them? — [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 17:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== About Edit Warring ==

Hi there Flashfight. I ''was'' about to give you a speech about the wrongs of edit warring, regarding the links on [[TrogdorCon '97]] commentary. When getting the links all ready for my post, I just then noticed that you didn't remove the links to the toons, but moved them to their right place. Some people use user talk pages mostly to discuss things that the user did wrong. But sometimes it's also good to comment when things done right. Well, this is one of those times. Good job for settling a minor edit war in the cleanest possible way. Even if you think it's just a minor thing, you did the right thing. Continue to enjoy editing, {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

== Your Sig ==

Nice job on the sig. I would like to point out, however, that the green medal image in your sig is just slightly too tall. Reducing it to 12px in width or less will make it so it conforms to the policy of 20px (max) in height. Please see [[Help:Signature#Images]] for more info. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks, I had thought that was going to be a small issue, I'll make sure to change it as quickly as possible. Signing out for the ultimate time with an unregulation sig, I remain {{User:Flashfight/sig}}

== Interacting with anonnies and new users ==

Hi, Flashfight. While I agree that the article [[boat take]] is unnecessary and should go (whether by deletion or redirection), your [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=boat_take&curid=42661&diff=565022&oldid=565016 deletion reason] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=boat_take&diff=565028&oldid=565025&rcid=522595 this edit summary] were rather impolite. The anonny who wrote this article contributed it in good faith, and it's not nice at all to call such contributions "nonsense" or to say you hate the article (even if you have a good reason not to like it). We need always to make a good impression on new users and treat their good-faith contributions with respect, even if they have problems. Wikpedia's page about [[Wikipedia:WP:BITE|not biting new users]] is good reading on this. Please be more careful what you say about the contributions of others, and remember that we were all once new users who needed improvement. And always remember that sometimes, cleanup and fixing are better than outright deletion, so don't be too quick to tag stuff for speedy deletion. Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for this comment, I was actually about 30 seconds away from starting a conversation of your page. I had done a very cursory search for "boat take" on the wiki and couldn't find any page (for some reason [[environment]] didn't show up) and most assuredly not enough for a phrase "Strong Bad is addicted to". You're absolutely correct and had it been a user and not an Annony I would have definitely left an apology on their UserTalk. Thanks for your comments, WP:BITE was a very useful read. Perhaps the creation of a HRWIKI guideline more specifically geared towards this community would be a grood idea. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 03:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

===Barnstar for Excellence in Discussion===
[[Image:Flashfight Medal Blue.png|right|175px]]
I am wholly of the belief that we as a community do very little to recognize and promote strong arguments and civil discourse on the Talk Namespace. So, after some time, and one late night brainstorming session, I decided to '''be bold''' and create the Medal for Excellence in Discussion, who's design is a reflection of the requirements and standards.
*The Medal Shape — reflects the creation by Flashfight, but in no means is an attempt to limit the people who can award the medal.
*The Sky Blue Ribbon — taken from the Flag of the United Nations; As The Wiki works only when consensuses are worked towards, the blue reflects the recipient's commitment to the consensus.
*The White Charge — a stylized speaker at a podium; It is also important for the survival of The Wiki that strong opinions to be voiced. While strong opinions are a necessity, only through strong convincing arguments can consensuses be reached, and the speaker at the podium is a reflection of the recipient's strong arguments made over the course of multiple Talk discussions.
*The Olive Wreath — A universal symbol for Peace; Civility is something that above all needs to be cherished in any award for Excellence in Discussion. The recipient should not be one to engage in edit wars, nor one to ignore discussion. The recipient works towards constructively moving opinion towards one point of view, but is willing to graciously accept the will of the community if the consensus opposes his own viewpoint.

Flashfight: /* STUFF */ replies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

::I've taken your advice and closed a couple of items quite early when they met the following criteria: unanimous or overwhelming vote with a double-digit lead. "Overwhelming" to me is a vote ratio of at least 4 to 1, preferably 6 or more to 1. The sooner it's closed after opening, the bigger the lead has to be. Also, if nobody votes on an item for over a day, but other items are heavily traficked, then (again, depending on the vote) it might be time to shut the former down. Judging these is becoming as much an art as a science. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:47, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

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

== Doesn't fix everything ==

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

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

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

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

==Neutral Voting==

I'd like to see a column for neutral votes. Sometimes I'd like to be able to express my opinion on an item, even if my opinion is just "meh". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:No. Take a stand, one way or the other. A neutral vote is no vote at all, and just takes up space. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::With the new format, voting doesn't take up nearly much screen space. You're correct when you state that a neutral vote is no vote at all. But it does express an opinion. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:16, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::An opinion of "meh" is not useful. Nobody cares if another user doesn't care, you know? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::Shrug. Personally, I thought neutral voting was an interesting and useful part of the old STUFF system. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::BTW "neutral" doesn't necessarily mean "I don't care". If you don't care, don't vote! To me Neutral meant "I'm interested but I'm not sure" or "I'm thinking about it" or "Convince me". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:26, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::That's a reasonable point. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:35, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::The arguments are there to convince you. A couple of times now, I've made up my mind (and even changed it) based on some good arguments. But I don't think we should have to write ''more'' arguments to sway those on the fence. For one, if the vote is close, there will be plenty of arguments to read, and if it's not close, one vote in the other direction isn't going to make that much of a difference. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Lawmakers (as an example) don't have to vote only "Yea" or "Nay" on a given subject . They have two other options. They can choose not to vote or they can abstain. You could look at a "neutral" vote as an abstention. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:52, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::That's a distinction without a difference. Not voting and officially abstaining have exactly the same effect: '''nothing'''. In our system, one must truly ''decide'' what his or her vote is, and only then does it go on record. I'll say again: you gotta take a stand. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::The difference is that abstaining is not anonymous. You've gone on the record, albieit blandly. Personally, I like to know who is on the fence (although you didn't always know that with the old system either). Obviously, the new system works fine without neutral voting. I just miss it a little. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:50, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::As far as caring who the neutral voters are, I'll just say this: Meh. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Neutral votes in the old format were meant for adding comments without the comment being counted as a vote. But we can do that with this system anyway. Since you can just elect not to vote, there really doesn't seem much point for a "Neutral" vote. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree, what's the ppoint of a neutral vote? Anyone who hasn't voted is a neutral vote. There's no reason to have it. If you haven't chosen a side, don't vote! If you haven;t chosen a side but want toi state a comment, use the super handy ultra cool comments section. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 01:26, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Fake User Names or Unlogged Regulars? ==

I haven't been deleting votes from some IPs because they use the User Names of regulars. But now IPs have been voting with user names that don't seem to be real (for instance, [[User:Mix Ma$ta'|Mix Ma$ta']] has made [[Special:Contributions/Mix Ma$ta'|zero edits]].) What to do? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:42, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I've been noticing this, and been thinking, "uh oh." I think all anonymous-ip votes need to be deleted, even if it is the known ip of a regular user. We should draw the line at "Must be logged in." Period. This would take a lot of work to maintain, though. But it would be worth it if we could stop any exploiting of the system. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:46, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::"You must be logged in when you vote" was one of the original instructions I wrote for the page, but I haven't been enforcing it for known users because I didn't want to come across as too strict. It always peeves me a little, though, when users don't log in. (I usually just ''stay'' logged in, although I know all users don't have their own computer and thus can't do so. But signing in seriously takes about 6 seconds, so there's no good excuse for not.) Concerning Mix Ma$ta', it seems an anonymous IP created a userpage but not an account. That's... unusual. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:50, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::: I'm not so sure that it IS that unusual... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:35, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Two reasons not: First, the page is designed to make you, or at least hopefully a new user, read the instructions. Second, it's designed to make users scroll across various items. That way, if anything is new (like a revision) or if they forgot to vote on an item, they'll notice it.<div style="text-indent:1.5em">If you've already voted on older items, that's okay, because the newer items are always at the top, and scrolling past the instructions really isn't that far. Also, whenever you reach a STUFF subpage from an article, it always takes you directly there. Then, when you click "back to STUFF index", it takes you to the top of the items, not the top of the page. Finally, because we are doing a better job clearing out items, there often aren't very many on the page (in fact, a couple of days ago there were only ''two'' open items). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:59, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)</div>

== Stuff Voting Procedure ==

I've noticed for some time now that the current voting procedure is rather biased when we are dealing with facts that have proposed revisions. What I mean is that when a fun fact in question has a revision posted for voting, the vote is humongously biased against declining both votes.
What do I mean by this? I we see [[Template:STUFF/Fall_Float_Parade|the vote]] for the first fact '' Ouch! Buzz Buzz Buzz'' and its two revisions. Anybody can vote to decline all three revisions.

That is one voter can affect the decline vote of all three revisions. However, that same voter can only vote positively in one of the three revisions listed. They do have the option to decline the other revisions, but can only accept one. Here is the bias: suppose we have 10 voters voting for the aforementioned revision. Each revision can each have up to 10 decline votes. Thus making it look like 30 people voted. However the accept votes must be (understandably) divided by the 10 people voting. This makes it *really* easy for a fun fact to be completely declined by a minority of voters. Yes voters can change their votes to other revisions, but they must generally be actively notified of such need by other interested voters (in a form of ''voter's activism''). If you add up the number of accept votes, it is clear that the voters want some form of the fact to be accepted. But like i said the bias will likely land the fun fact declined. Don't you just love politics?
I couldn't think of a reasonable voting scheme alternative until now: we could make the declines vote an alternative "revision". That is if we have a fun fact that has a revision, then we'd have:
#the original fact (vote only to accept)
#revision 1 (vote only to accept)
#revision 2 (vote only to accept)
#decline votes (all votes of people who decline all 3 revisions)
Voters would only be allowed to vote on one of these 4 categories. Thus the vote is evenly divided between the 4 options. Actually, even this proposed revision has bias in it. (a 1/4th majority would only be needed to decline the revision). A better tally would be to have the decline votes outnumber the sum of revision votes (i.e. 1/2 of voters have to vote to decline). ''Optional:'' If the revisions win, and the decline votes have a majority (i.e. less than 1/2 voters, but greater than the votes for any of the other 3 revisions), then a revote can be made so that those who declined the fact can vote for whatever revision they deem best. (Or they could do so preemptively, have a "secondary vote" in case the declines lose). ''end optional section.''

It's a mess, I know. ''Fair'' voting isn't easy to achieve, and is still being [http://www.electionline.org/ hotly debated] by many scholars and politicians alike. Some real-world proposals range from a staggered voting scheme (everyone votes for their #1 candidate choice, their #2 choice, and so on; ties are broken by the #2, #3 choices, etc.), a weighed voting scheme (like the staggered, only that the #1 choice has a certain amount of points, #2 has less points, etc. and the winner would get the sum of points -- much like the way racing videogames determine the winner of a circuit), and the "let it be" scheme (that is, the way the US system works and many other countries). Some of the newer schemes have been implemented in countries in Australia and England if I remember correctly. Every system has its own inherent bias unfortunately. Not many people realize that the vote can be influenced simply by choosing a different voting scheme that "seems" fair. Personally, I don't mind the US voting system at all, recent controversies and all. The recent german vote, to me, seemed stranger than anything. (''Wow, what a tangent!'', anyway back to the topic.) You may say that the current STUFF scheme resembles the US system, but it does not: the US system does not have a "decline" option to where you couldn't have a president or senator or governor take office. You must choose "one of the lesser evils". With STUFF, things are different. The ''decline'' option introduces a whole new set of complexities that must be appropriately dealt with. 
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh and I forgot: on the technical side of things, if the above proposition, or one similar to it is adopted, we may likely need to create new templates so as to not mess our current vote archives since their inherent structures are different. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

:It took me a lot of reading and re-reading, but I think I finally got my brain up to speed with what you're saying. My first response was "Of course someone can vote against all but only for one! What if someone doesn't approve of ''any'' of them? But we can't have multiple versions of the fact on the page, so someone can only ''approve'' one." But then I tried harder to understand your proposal: You're saying that voting for a given revision ''assumes'' a decline for the other revisions, right? I.e. if I vote for #3 I don't have to explicitly vote ''against'' #s 1 & 2. Thus the "vote only to accept" stuff; at the end we'd just award it to the revision with the most votes. You lost me with the part about the 1/4th majority; wouldn't it only take one voter more than the winning revision had to decline it? I.e. if the voting breaks down 1-3-2, then it would only take the remaining 4 voters to decline it.
:But moving on from understanding your concerns to critiquing them: This would involve difficulties of notifying people who've already voted as well. Every vote with revisions starts its life as a simple "up or down vote" (to use a trendy phrase). Presumably some will start voting for it and some against it. Now a revision's introduced. We change both to "vote only to accept"—and do what with the existing declines? They can't be assumed to be decline-alls. We'd have to notify them and ask them to come back and take a stand on the current revision; either vote for the new one or decline all. This would have to be ''repeated'' with each new revision!
:Mightn't a simpler answer be to keep the current system and somehow automatically notify previous voters when a revision is made? (Or make the reviser manually do it, but I don't like that idea.) But also there's a compelling argument for simply letting ''voter activism'' and ''voter apathy'' take their natural courses. After all, we're not electing the next president; outsiders have more than once marvelled at how deathly serious we take things around here, for fans of '''a cartoon'''. One could argue that if one cares enough about their vote they can jolly well check up on it, or conversely if someone can't be bothered to log in more than once a month and their vote gets wasted, tough cookies to them. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Excuse my ignorance, but why vote at all? Just add it the same way everything else is. If a single item is disputed then "vote" or discuss it if necessary. [[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]] 04:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

:Good question, Broken Segue. The reason, as far as I can tell, is that we have disputes about our Fun Facts ''all the time''. I don't know what it's like at Wikipedia, but people debate whether or not x is a reference to y on a regular basis. Originially, STUFF was largely just a vote/discussion (look at the votes archived on talk pages before this summer for examples). It was changed because we had trouble with things like ''ad hominem'' attacks on people during the voting and because the votes and arguments were getting confusing (for the most famous example of this, see [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:do_over#Change_of_Pace_.28ACCEPTED.29 this infamous debate]. The newer procedure is cleaner and, IMHO, easier to use. I suppose if we didn't have disputes about Fun Facts so often, it wouldn't be necessary, but as the situation here is now, I find it useful. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 04:31, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
::wow, you are right. Sounds like some people need to take some chill pills. That's the problem when not all facts need to be verified from a source...it's all just speculation. Still, you could approve the general idea of a fact and iron out the wording later. It seems silly to have 3 alternate versions with different wordings. The issue is, is the fact true. [[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]] 04:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
:::First off, thank you all for your thorough and well thought out responses. I know it presented a lot to digest. To clarify things: I realize now that I made a mistake when I stated thr 1/4th majority for the decline votes. I mistakenly assumed that the other three votes were evenly distributed, then a 1/4th majority in the declines would work, but that may not always be the case of course. Abdi's example makes more sense: all you need is one more vote than the leader to decline: so if the accept revision vote is 1-3-2 and the decline vote is 4, then all three revisions get declined even though there are 6 voters in favor of some sort of revision.

:::You can see that this is exactly the same thing that is currently going on: take the same 10 voters, those who voted accept voted 1-3-2 as in the example before, and suppose they abstained from declining the others. Now suppose just 4 ''different'' voters voted decline on each of the three revisions. All three revisions will easily get declined. The votes would be worse if those who voted accept for some revisions vote decline for the others. See what I mean? Not even ''voter apathy'' is required to turn down revisions, those who want to see revisions passed must actually fight an ''uphill battle'' to do so (they'd have to convince all the other voters to "switch to their side" and "gang up" against the naysayers).

:::You are right though Abdi, it is a hassle in ''any'' case to have to have people come back and vote again on the same thing twice (unless a new revision was proposed between the time they voted and "now"). However, their vote should not be ''weakened'' simply because a new revision was proposed. The original Wikipedia voting system (from which I assume this was derived) does not quite have the problem since i've only seen it being used for keep/delete votes for pages. They have no need to make revisions and so they don't run into this problem.

:::BrokenSegue's idea is a very good one (I was thinking about something like it but couldn't come up with something decent): have two different types of votes within the same topic. One would be wether you want to accept the fun fact ''or some sort of revision for it,'' or just decline it altogether. The second vote would be for what revision you would vote for, including the original version (you could abstain from voting for any revision). The revision with the most votes would win, ''only if'' the accept votes defeated the decline votes. And it would be all done in one fell swoop. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I didn't read this whole discussion (because it was too darn long), so tell me if I didn't get the gist right. It has been evident to me for a while that we need to be able to accept the ''idea'' of an item separate from the actual wording. When the system was set up, it was pretty much unheard of to propose a ''revision'' to an item that was already on its way to being accepted. Revisions were a last resort when the original item was going down in flames. Lately, however, revisions have been a little more willy-nilly, to use a techinical term. What would be the fairest way to implement a change? A third column, perhaps? (Forgive me if this is already mentioned above, but I'm really in a hurry and am not going to read it before I post this reply.) "Accept if revision fails", or something like that? Or should we allow users to accept more than one revision? Somebody work up some mock-ups. I will when I get a chance later tonight or tomorrow. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:45, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::'''(Edit conflict)''' That [Stux's new proposal] has promise. I still can't quite imagine it in action, largely because it assumes that fairly often people will be strongly for or strongly against, but not care that much about the differences between revisions. On the contrary, taking the current STUFF as an example: the one about Marzi & bees and the one about Marshie both have three revisions, and I'm definitely in favor of ''one'' specific revision of each and very much against the others. I'm still not convinced that the inequity you're perceiving is really that inequitable: Without revisions, each vote is simply up or down. If we consider each revision individually, it still stands or falls based simply on votes for or against. If the accept votes have less agency, it's because they're disunified; they may ''or may not'' prefer a different revision to no fact at all. And again, if they ''are'' willing to switch their vote in order to see a revision win, the ball is in their court to do so.
:::::Now wait, a minute; for what I'm saying to be true (and I do think this is a possible solution), there would have to be a clearer statement of when a STUFF vote expires. I would probably hold out on my favored revision until the last minute, then switch to a secondary choice as the deadline got close. Without knowing ''when'' the last minute is, though, I'd probably sit tight. For it to really be equitable, we should have an automated system that notified people when facts they had a vote in were drawing to a close, since it's pretty naive to expect anyone to keep track of all of them (when you're putting STUFF deadlines in your DayPlanner, you know you're ''too'' involved with the Wiki!).
:::::But on another note, I'm not so concerned about it being hard to get a fact accepted. As BrokenSegue pointed out, pretty much every STUFF vote deals with issues that can't be proven evidentially (if, for instance, TBC say something about it in a commentary, then it would be silly to STUFF it). This ''is'' a knowledge base, and the goal should be to keep it as accurate as possible. While I think all these "maybes" and "possiblies" ''should'' be documented, since it's edifying to know about them, even if they're not proven, that already happens through the STUFF process itself and Talk page entries (like [[Talk:Arcade Game#fonzie?|this one]]). (Arguing against myself, though, if a majority of users like a fact and it still gets voted down, and can't subsequently be added since it's "been through STUFF," is that really the Wiki Way? I'm not sure I understand the Wiki Way. Which is more important, accuracy or equity?) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
::::::You guys are making this too complicated. There have been 202 items that have gone through the process since we adopted the new format, and every last one of them has been closed according to a consensus of voters. (Some votes, naturally, are closer calls than others.) The standard voting period is two weeks. This is usually twice as long as is necessary to determine the will of the community (sometimes it's ''fourteen times'' too long). After a week or so, I feel comfortable closing an item if it is currently enjoying a 3 to 1 ratio (either for or against) and has a minimum number of total votes. If something has been open only a few days, I use a standard of 4 or 5 to 1, depending. Items are usually closed immediately when the ratio reaches 20 to 1. At that point, if someone were going to propose a revision, they would have by that point. When deciding when to render verdicts, I also use common sense, such as the relative speculation in the item and whether heavy contributors have voted for or against it. I am quite confident in how things are going and believe that the process works. If there is ever a gray area (which is most rare), I leave a note on a talk page. If anyone believes the wrong verdict has been rendered, he or she can bring it up for appeal. Let me clarify that last statement. An appeal cannot be brought simply because one disagrees with the verdict; it must be shown that there was something wrong with the ''process''. Possible reasons would include new evidence not available at the time of the vote, a belief that the majority of voters misunderstood the question, voter fraud (unlikely but technically possible), or if the vote were closed too early (although, as I explained before, votes that are even remotely close are not closed before two weeks (and some are even held over a couple of days, just in case there are any stragglers (which there never have been (I believe due to the attention spans these days (okay, there are too many open parentheses here, so this will be the last nested one))))). There is only ''one'' item, by the way, that I myself would appeal, and it's from the old format days (and it's not even "the infamous one"). I just haven't gotten around to it. In the case of revisions, I am again confident that the best revision has made it into the articles. Also, note that there's nothing stopping people from discussing the wording of an accepted item and tweaking it later, so long as the ''essence'' of the item doesn't change (this has happened, incidentally).

::::::::Hey, everybody's doin' it! And yeah, I lean back to my earlier statements that, while I see the math of your original concern, Stux, I'm not sure it's actually an operational inequity. If "accept" voters ''really, really'' wanted to overcome the free-ranging power of the decliners, they have simply to contact each other and move their votes to a popular candidate. If they can't conscience the popular version, or if they don't care enough about their vote to check on it within two weeks, then it's perfectly right for it to be declined. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

==Another idea==
I don't mean to make the situation more complicated by adding more thoughts, but I think this idea is worth considering. I think this way is more wiki-ish and less bureaucratic. Why not let people create these votes only in opposition to already existing facts. It would work like this.: Person A adds Fact X to the article. Person B likes it, but rewords it slightly. Person C hates X and starts a vote to get it removed. The vote is, "should we keep this fact? yes or no?" During the vote people may reword it as they please or propose secondary version but there is just one vote for the fact. If X is voted down then it is removed never to be added again otherwise it stays. Terrible facts could be "speedily" removed without a vote.

{| style="background:#fed; border:none;"
| <nowiki>{{stuffrevise|The [[Wikipedia:Blue Angels|Blue Angels]] flew right past us}}</nowiki>

...and not:

{| style="background:#fed; border:none;"

This would make the STUFF process much easier, IMO. (Note, my use of <nowiki> in the source code for this comment is for display purposes only. I don't know how the STUFF code itself actually works.)

:I have already tried to do that. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to automatically do it. But see the last tip on [[HRWiki:STUFF/Help]]. (Does nobody read those pages?) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

== Resource Prominence ==

I was wondering if the "Resources" tab in the [[Template:stuffinstructions|protected template]] could be renamed "Important Resources" or even "Step by step guide" to bring a little more attention to the importance of the tab. The [[HRWiki:STUFF/About|about page]] could be linked again from that section too. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
:I have changed it to "Technical instructions". There are already ''two'' links to the About page in "What is this page and when should we use it?", which itself is set in <big>'''big, bold type.'''</big> I don't see how another link would do any good. The fact is that certain people will ''never'' read instructions, even if you set them in 100pixel-high type and make them red and blinking. Every one of those links has been there since day one of the new format, highlighted in gold (the easiest color for the eye to see), and yet I ''still'' see people who copy and paste old items to try and make new ones, or who go through process backwards (they begin by editing the STUFF index and finish up by editing the article, instead of the other way around). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
::I did, however, put a link to the About page on both the Help and Quickref pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::Yeah I was kinda hoping for 150pt font size in '''bold''' with those red blinking letters you mentioned and not only that, a feature that would not let them do anything with STUFF unless they actually read the instructions and provided proof of such reading by submitting and page long essay. That or $5. Yeah... even then they'll ignore it. Oh and great idea about adding links to the About page! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== When does it end? ==

Is it arbitrary? Are there rules? How does a STUFF end? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:11, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:Normally they close two weeks after being opened, but if the voting is one-sided it may end early, see [[#Candidates for speedy verdicts]] above. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::Well, those guidelines were proposed early and are more formal than our actual practice. A better section to read would be [[#DC|this one]] above. Suffice it to say, however, that nothing is ever closed early if the majority isn't overwhelming (unless the item can be shown to be patently false, of course). Out of curiositiy, why do you ask? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Out of curiositiy. :) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

== Altering the STUFF'd fact ==

Earlier I reverted an anony's change to a STUFF. Someone (I'm sure in good faith) reverted me and I can see where the confusion is.

In the STUFF instructions here, we're told that we must be logged in to vote or edit arguments or offer revised STUFFs. But it never explicitly says we can't alter the STUFFed fact! I mean, it stands to reason you cannot alter the proposal, but shouldn't that be explicit in the instructions? I'd vote to '''add''' that prohibition to "notes about voting". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, under certain circumstances, you ''can'' alter the STUFF'd fact (although you must be logged in to do so). I know I've written about this somewhere else, but now I can't find it. Oh yeah, [[HRWiki:Glossary#R|HRWiki:Glossary]]. You can ''reword'' an item (especially in the early part of its existence) without having to completely ''revise'' it. Also, in many cases it's best to leave a note when making a change like that. As for the edit in question, that was a substantial change to the meaning of the item, and if it were to move forward it would have to be proposed as a full revision. I see no reason to proceed with it, however, because it's just adding more speculation to something that's probably going to be declined anyway. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:31, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::Ok, so basically 1) No interaction with STUFF when not logged in, aside from posting arguments (but not revising), 2) No alterations to proposed item unless it improves, or at least doesn't change, the meaning. Do I get it? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::(1) No anonymous interaction at all, including posting arguments (although if all an anonny does is add an argument or comment, I'm loathe to remove it for fear of appearing to be limiting speech). (2) Right, if the item just needs a little tweaking, then it's okay to fix it. Or, for example, if part of the item is patently false and yet the accepts are somehow leading, it can be changed to make it true, so long as a clear note is left for everyone to see. If it really got crazy then I suppose we'd have to start the item over completely, but so far we've been able to prevent that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

== POV STUFF? ==

From comments for [[Template:STUFF/candy product]]:

:Should the title of this section be made more NPOV?
::No.
:::Yes. {{User:Qermaq/sig}}
::::No. Let me explain. The STUFF page is, by definition, all about opinions, and, thus, POV. We've had clearly POV STUFF titles before and no one complained then.
:::::Yes, as the wording of a STUFF item can certainly color one's perception of the fact. A more balanced title might lead the reader less, and should ideally always be strived for. {{User:Qermaq/sig}}
:::::Leaving the heading is like a voting booth saying "Vote for Senator Bob Statesman" in big letters. This is a place for voting, and nobody has the right to try to influence a vote. Yes, this page is all about opinions, but they belong under the clearly defined headings "arguments for" and "arguments against."
::::::This isn't the place to discuss this. Go to [[HRWiki Talk:STUFF|this page]] if it bothers you so much. As I've said, we've had STUFF facts with clearly POV titles before, and no one complained then.
:::::::no one even complained with "worst reference ever" {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 22:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::That's because the "worst ever" part was a reference to something else.
:::::::: And, heck, there was a fact called "[[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/secret identity#Similarity? I think so!|Similarity? I think so!]]" that got a unanimous decline! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::Point is that even if POV was overlooked in the past it's still not a fair way to present STUFF. We used to keep slaves, too. Do we stick to that precedent? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::: Um, let's keep the scope of this discussion relevant. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::As long as no one complains, then it's not a problem to have POV titles. But if someone complains, then for crying out loud by all means find a compromise and make the title NPOV. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, while the 'slavery' comment isn't on the same level as voting on a cartoon fact, it remains that the policy should be to present STUFF in a manner that is fair and balanced, even if it hasn't always been done that way. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
:What does NPOV mean?
::No Point Of View. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Neutral, actually. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Seems like either would work. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:STUFF titles get changed quite a bit. Well, not often, but certainly not never. (Usually the case is that the title isn't clever enough and some thinks of a cleverer one.) If there's a title you don't like because it's POV, then change it. But for truly horrible facts that just get STUFF'd to make an anonny see reason, the the STUFFer's first title is probably fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
::I would agree with that. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Don't get me wrong, I don't care all that much, but I'd like to raise a counter argument: what one person sees as unreasonable may not be what another sees as unreasonable. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 22:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, some things are clearly biased. If it is in the gray area where one person sees bias and another does not, it should be changed so no one sees bias. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

== Suggestion ==

After you vote on STUFF< you're on the toon's STUFF page, not back at the full STUFF page. So let's say I vote on a STUFF from one toon, and I want to vote on another. I have to navigate BACK to the full STUFF here and then I can vote. Is there a way to have a link to return us to the full STUFF? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
:That's exactly what the "Back to STUFF index" links at the bottom of every disputed fact are for. {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 02:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
::Well, see what you learn around heee! (In my defense, that's ant-poop small in Opera.) Thanks. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Heh, I didn't exactly put that two and two together either, and it's bothered me many a time. So at least you're not along Qermaq. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

== Statistics ==

As of this date, just over 300 STUFF items have been processed under the current system. The decline-to-accept ratio is almost exactly 2 to 1. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

== STUFF Titles ==

I think this needs to move to Talk.

1) Not every STUFF title has to have STUFF in it, and constantly using STUFF in titles might signal a lack of creativity or some other something wrong with you.

2) That said, there's no real excuse to change a perfectly good STUFF title based solely on it including the word STUFF that I can think of.

Can we discuss this rather than edit-war about it every freakin' time? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

: I think changing a title that has STUFF in it is perfectly legit if you can come up with ''anything'' else. It's not required—or even desirable—that you title these items, "STUFFfully yours," or, "With a bunch of STUFF," or, "STUFF in the times," or, "STUFF is so great," "Everything is STUFF," "My middle name is STUFFerson." Come on, guys. Come up with something clever. We'll still vote on them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

::"Something brief, yet catchy" is the sum total of the rules of titling STUFF items. Unless you're arguing that using STUFF in the title is either non-brief or non-catchy, I'd argue your contention that they should be changed is meritless, Dot Com. That said, I'm not saying they should be immutable from the outset either. Still, if we as a community discuss and agree on a different set of rules than "brief, yet catchy", that should be incorporated into the STUFF guidelines. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::What the heck? Why would you use such a charged word as "meritless"? I ''wrote'' the sentence above; I know what it says. If you want, I can put in something about not using the word "STUFF" in the title. I don't see any reason to do that, though, because it shouldn't be a rule per se. I am, however, going to change each one I come across, because I think using that word in the title is a lazy habit that we've gotten into. I was trying to draw a parallel to the overuse of the word "[[Crapfully Yours|crap]]" by senders of Strong Bad Emails. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::::('''written before It's dot com's above''') How 'bout "Using 'STUFF' is ok; changing an item's title once is okay; changing it more than that (i.e. edit war) isn't." (And no, I'm not actually proposing that as an official rule, I just mean...) Creativity is a good thing. But hey, the point of these items is what's ''in'' them, not what they're called. Let's save our controversy-energy for that. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::We don't need official guidelines about this. We just need to get out of the bad habit. People have seen the word in so many recent titles that they think it's what you're ''supposed'' to do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::Is it a "bad habit"? Or is it a difference in taste? I see the use of STUFF in a title at best clever, at worst cute. Clearly your tastes are different. Should a user make changes based on their taste? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

::::I chose the word "meritless" because in my view it's the correct word. I'm sorry if you took offense, but for an action to have merit it must be positive and be worthy of support. It's my view that changing STUFF contributions for factual errors or clarity is quite meritous, but changing them simply based on a word that recurs (and in a crusade-like fashion, as you espouse above) isn't entirely positive, and so to me fails to bear merit. All users are allowed to do whatever they like here so long as the community accepts it, and if the community accepts your removal of the word "STUFF" from any and all STUFF titles, then so be it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::Yes, it's a bad habit. No, it's not clever or cute. If your tastes are different from mine, then by definition it's also a difference in tastes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Jiminy H. Cricket! I find this whole discussion a little bizarre. Granted, I haven't been looking at STUFF titles as long or as often as It's dot com has, so I can imagine how he must have gotten progressively bored, and then mildly irked, and finally kinda touchy about it. On the other hand, I ''do'' think it was clever (at least) the first time it happened, and of course many continue to encounter it for the first time. But the whole thing just seems like such a strange thing for a conversation this long, using words this loaded/and/or/stiltedly civil. On the one hand, I don't personally feel the need to change them. On the other, I don't see why it's a problem if someone does. Your ominous (and seemingly sceptical?) concession, Qermaq, that "if the community accepts [it], then so be it," strikes me as a little odd: I find it really hard to imagine why the community should particularly care. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I can understand both sides, I know I'd probably get tired of it if I'm doing the paperwork and every title has "STUFF" in it, even if it doesn't really fit that well. On the other hand, I think I'd also be a bit annoyed if I came up with what I thought was a clever STUFF title, and then have somebody come along and arbitrarily change it to exclude "STUFF". {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:Well, just because people don't care for it doesn't mean it does harm. It seems to me that the side that doesn't want these headings thinks of the argument as "why?", whereas the defense thinks of it as "Why not?" This said, we can't really decide which one is right unless we turn to the faithful rule of, um....faithfullness. I guess. And that rule is "If something ain't broke, don't fix it".

:::::Personally, I don't think we should use STUFF in ALL TITLES. CAPS LOCK IS NOT A HAPPY THING. I mean, it was kinda funny the first time, but, it's old, and REALLY annoying.

::::::::::Just to voice my opinion, I've also noticed this growing trend in STUFF titles. I admit that I've put the word "STUFF" in a title because I was in too much of a hurry to think of a catchy and clever one. But I just figured that no one would really care about the title, just the fact being voted on, which is doubtless the most important part of the STUFF process. However, as time has passed I've gotten a little annoyed at these (to me) seemingly uncreative titles that a person (me included) can just whip together in 5 seconds without even trying. But then again, not all of us have a great sense of humor. For the most part, I don't care about what the titles are, as long as they relate to the fact. But if you want to go on a STUFF-removing crusade to rid the wiki of this deadly and humorless menace, then by all means do. I just hope this doesn't become like the British English vs. American English debate at Wikipedia. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

If we really want to go on a STUFF rampage (I'm on a [[rampage]]!) just to make something slightly funnier, than we can. But shouldn't we be as encyclopaedic as possible, and try to use the least humor we can so this place doesn't look like an online playground for kids? Even if we're documenting, well, a cartoon, we should remain dignified, and not care about these things. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 19:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::The problem is that whether something is "humorless" is a personal opinion, and it wouldn't exactly make sense to have a policy based on an opinion.

== Assuming TTATOT wrongly ==

I believe that the Coach Z "Oliver" fun fact on [[No Hands On Deck]] is being voted incorrectly for the only reason being that someone tried to create a TTATOT just by trying to draw a connection between Oliver and Annie, two of the more famous movie musicals, without voting on whether the fact is valid. I have said this much on the page, and if this fact is voted down I reserve the right to contest the decline, based solely on the fact that someone created a TTATOT when one didn't exist, and the point that the factual basis for the entry was not taken into consideration when the decline votes were cast. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
:I don't see anything irregular about the vote. I don't believe support for either side of the issue is snowballing based on any one argument, but even if it were, people are within their rights to decide whether a particular argument is legitimate or not and vote accordingly. None of the arguments are unreasonable, even if you don't agree with them all. Given that the vote is still open, you should be concentrating your efforts in persuading people there instead of here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
::I said all that could be said on the page, dot com. I notice, for now, that the accepts have it for the moment. And I think that two of the three arguments against are valid. The first one (the one that created the TTATOT) had nothing to do with the perceived legitimacy of the fact, and should not have had anything to do with how people voted. I believe it had more to do with the no votes than any of the others, and I'm not changing my mind on that. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 12:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
:::I disagree that you have said all that you could say, otherwise you wouldn't have posted here in the first place.

::::How is it a legitimate argument if it has nothing to do with the basis of the fun fact? The other three (since there's been one added) do. This one doesn't, as it discusses the fame of ''Annie'' and ''Oliver!'' rather than discussing the fact itself. That has nothing to do with the "factuality", for that matter, of the fact. Just because an argument is considered legitimate by some doesn't mean it is. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 12:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::This talk page is for discussing the general STUFF process, and we have done that. If you would like to discuss the specific merits of that particular argument in detail, then you need to take it to the comments section of the STUFF item. You should also note that just because you don't think the argument is legitimate doesn't mean that it ''isn't''. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::And just because you think it is doesn't mean it is. Most STUFF arguments are legitimate. Most stuff arguments have something to do with the factuality of the fact. This one doesn't. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 17:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Again, I would be happy to discuss that with you, but ''here'' is not the correct place. Take it to the comments section of the STUFF item. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:24, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

== Numbering arguments ==

I numbered the arguments on [[STUFF:Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2#From my cold, dead panda!|this item]] to make it easier to follow. Is this a worthwile permanent change? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, I think so. It's not uncommon to have arguments or comments start with "re arg against 1", so numbering them is useful.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
::Hey, yeah! I'd thought of doing something like that myself a while back, but for whatever reason never got around to actually devising how it would have been done other than that it would have been with colors, but numbers work too. Makes it much easier to follow than having to click through all the past revisions to see what's being said in reference to whom. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 20:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

== Archives ==

Shouldn't the STUFF archives be in the STUFF namespace rather than HRWiki? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 10:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
:Possibly. Remember, the STUFF namespace didn't exist when we first set this up, so we did the best we could with what we had at the time. I also don't think we should look lightly on the headache it would be to move them (though, ultimately, that can't be the only consideration). In fact, I can see pros and cons for both moving them and leaving them like it are. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
::It just seems kind of silly to have a namespace for (at current) nine pages. I guess they are "meta" pages, so they fit in HRWiki as well. As far as moving them, couldn't that just be run through GrapeNuts? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 20:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, it might could be done by bot, but probably not GrapeNuts, which has been offline for a while now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
::::D'oh! I should've known that. Hmmm... then I wonder whose, if any. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 22:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

== What section ==

I'm thinking maybe underneath Posted on we could say Posted in: (the section it was in) so we could know what kind of fact we're voting on in case someone thinks a remark is an inside reference (example:[[Stuff:Eggs (toon)]]) --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 20:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
:Or maybe there should also be a vote for which section... (i'd think that optional though, as some facts are more clear cut than others.) But i like the idea. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
::In the case you mention, it was {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Eggs_%28toon%29&diff=449482&oldid=444446 added as a remark}} and then moved twice without much notice, largely because of the relative obscurity of the toon itself. Obviously, it should not have been moved, and we could have saved a lot of trouble by taking it to the toon's talk page first instead of throwing it right into STUFF. In fact, if the question is ''where'' to note something (as opposed to ''whether'' to note it, then the talk page is almost always a better place to have the discussion. As for STUFF, in cases where it's not clear, it's usually noted in the comments what section an item is supposed to go in. The vast majority of the time of the time, though, it's pretty clear where something goes, so it's not really necessary to change the whole format to note it for every item, and continuing on a case-by-case basis is still probably easiest. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

== Change in practice ==

Of late, our practice as it relates to STUFF has clearly changed, in that we now tend to use it as a last resort if talk page discussion fails to produce a clear consensus. I think this is a good thing, as discussion is better than voting in collaborative projects like this. I think it would be wise to note this on the project page so that people are aware of how we're using STUFF these days (after all, it's a real pain to make a new STUFF page and then have it moved to the talk page). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:It was {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki%3ASTUFF%2FAbout&diff=438035&oldid=395876 changed a few months ago}} on the [[HRWiki:STUFF/About#STUFFing vs. Deleting|when should we use it?]] page — do you think it should be stated prominently on the [[HRWiki:STUFF|main STUFF page]]? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:28, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
::It would probably be good, but where exactly to put it I'm not sure. I'm also thinking that About page might still need some tweaks, too. Parts of it seem to imply that you can either add/remove a fact or put it to STUFF, with no mention of talk page discussion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

== Only bottommost vote counts? ==

Umm, I don't see why that should be. Imagine a case where both revisions are acceptable, and the person doesn't particularly care which one it is, because the wording doesn't matter, all that matters is the substance. if s/he votes yes on only one, and that one gets voted down, there's now one less vote on the other one, when s/he would accept the other one also. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
:If the substance is the same, then there's no point in creating a whole new revision. In those cases, the item just gets reworded as discussed in the comments section. Revisions are for when there is something substantially different about the way an item is presented. If you truly do not care how it is written, then you should pile on to the one with the most support. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
::Meh, that's how it ''should'' be, but there have been cases when the "keep" vote has been split between similar items. Not that I have a solution. :p {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, it's not like we don't watch out for this. If there is ever a case where it really matters (and there hasn't been one in a long time), where it's obvious an item would be accepted if the two sides could get together, then we try to hash out a compromise version or sway opinions to one or the other or something. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

==Titles==
What's with those humorous titles? [[User:124.176.190.64|124.176.190.64]] 05:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:Just for fun. Also makes it easy to identify a particular STUFF discussion. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Tagging this as a "last resort" ==

In recent months, we've tended to use STUFF less and less. This is a good thing: more talk page discussion and less straight voting is much more consistent with the wiki way of consensus-seeking. I suggest that we consider making this a guideline for the page by adding something to the effect of "This page should be used as a last resort. Before using it, attempt discussion on the talk page." {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

== STUFF ==

You have a "STUFF:" namespace, but it is unused. I am going to move all pages from the HRWiki: namespace into the STUFF: namespace. --{{User:Dagoth/sig}} 06:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
:Why would you do that?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
::I think he may mean such pages as "over STUFF'd" and "Old STUFF" and the like, that exist on the HRWIKI namespace. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 06:31, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Homestar Runner's House

Flashfight — Fri, 30 May 2008 05:57:11 GMT

Flashfight: /* Interior */ rm 2nd person

'''[[Homestar Runner]]'s House''', in [[The Reddest Radish]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello|In Search of the Yello Dello]], is a cartoonish red hut with white spots; yet in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], and the email [[rampage]], his house is a normal suburban house with yellow siding, bearing a striking resemblance to the [[Peanuts]] kids' houses. Unless he's moved (or has more than one house), what the outside of Homestar's house really looks like remains a mystery, but it seems that the more logical choice would be his normal house with siding, as his "In Search Of The Yello Dello" home and his "The Reddest Radish" home both were made a while back. It may be that he simply moved to the new house first seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. Regardless, it doesn't seem to matter to him where he lives, as he spends an astonishing amount of time in both [[House of the Brothers Strong|Strong Bad's]] and [[Marzipan's House|Marzipan's]] homes. In [[flashback]], he even comments that he thinks he lives in the Brothers' Strong house.

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

==Interior==
The inside of his house was first seen in the email [[caper]], when [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] broke into it. It has since been seen in [[radio]], [[garage sale]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[slumber party]], and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. It has green walls and [[Hanging Objects#Homestar Runner's House|pictures of himself through the years]]. Homestar's white table with the sliding doors is similar to one sold by [[Wikipedia:IKEA|IKEA]]. It also has a [[cow lamp]] which The Cheat broke in [[caper]]. It was repaired and seen again in [[radio]], but Homestar broke it again after The Cheat tried to steal it in [[garage sale]].

Homestar's bedroom, first seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], has maroon walls, a window, Homestar's bed (bare box spring only), and an alarm clock/radio labeled "[[Homestar's Clock]]" on a dresser. Homestar's room is on the second floor.

Homestar watches [[Tee Bee|television]] in his TV room, where the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] is located. He also keeps his TV stand (where his tapes are kept) and sofa here. He sometimes invites Strong Bad over to watch TV with him, an invitation that Strong Bad usually accepts (probably because Homestar has the better TV.)

Homestar also has a bathroom which has a shower in it. (Seen in [[Main Page 14]].)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Girl, where's my money that you owe me from all those emails that you wrote me?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: love poem</div>
Dear Mr. Strong [Bad], 
I am in love. Unfortunately, I am absotively blunderous with 
my words which I speak. Will you help me write a love poem? 
Sincerely, 
Just Another Hopeless Romantic 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses just before reading "[Bad]". He reads "Hopeless" as "homeless".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, put on your patchy-stained jacket and gather 'round the fire in the trashcan, Homeless Romantic, 'cause the Rub [Doctor] is here to help!

''{Cut to the classroom, where Strong Bad is standing in front of the blackboard, wearing a charcoal gray turtleneck and balding brown hair. The word "Rub" is written on the blackboard next to an arrow pointing downwards.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. I'm Doctor Marvin Rubdown. Did you know that writing love poems is as easy as telling a girl she's hot with the fance-pantsiest words you can think of? ''{cut to a view from Strong Bad's front-left}'' For poetic inspiration, I like to swipe the names of scented candle fragrances!

''{Fade out. Fade in to Strong Bad, still with the sweater and hair, in front of a grey background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your eyes, ''{holds up a lit orange and green candle with a label saying "Sandalwood Sage Sunset" in his left hand}'' they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset.

''{He puts his hand back down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens ''{holds up a lit white candle with a label saying "Fresh Cotton Linens" in his right hand}'' hung to dry on the deck.

''{He puts his hand down, holds up a lit brown candle with a label saying "Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice" in his left hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth.

''{He puts his hand back down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And your nose: like an unscented emergency candle ''{holds up a white, unlabeled candle in his left hand}'' for when the power goes out.

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes.

''{Cut to a closeup of the blackboard; the "Rub" and the arrow have been erased but remain faintly visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as he speaks, the words in quotes appear on the blackboard in chalk}'' "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er, m'lo'er o' clo'er".

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad; Coach Z is leaning in from the right}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now you're sporkin' my language!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out! ''{Coach Z leaves quickly}'' Women love it when you talk all Elizabethan. ''{"-Elizabethan" appears to the right of Strong Bad.}'' But you shouldn't be afraid to get Kimberlian ''{"-Kimberlian" appears under "-Elizabethan"}'' or Meredithian ''{"-Meredithian" appears under "-Kimberlian"}'' if the need arises.

''{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene with Cheerleader and So and So; Cheerleader has an annoyed look and is wearing a shirt that reads "poi fect".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't stand the way Meredith talks!

''{Cut to a wider shot with Cheerleader, still looking annoyed, So and So, frowning, and Meredith, bending backward with a pleased look on her face and her tongue hanging out}''

'''MEREDITH:''' I'th hath a cruth on ethry boyth!

''{Cut to a yet wider shot; Cheerleader and So and So still look irritated; Meredith now has a quizzical look; Kim runs in with her mouth wide open and her hair flying behind her}''

'''KIM:''' I herly berly on gerly werly!

''{Arrowed Guy appears dressed as [[William Shakespeare]] and spears Meredith and Kim; Cheerleader and So and So appear pleased.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Shakespeared!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But if that frilly collar stuff is too olde schoole ''{pronounces the E's in both words as "eh"}'' for you, then why not try a more contemporary approach with an overweight R&B make-out jam? ''{music begins to play}'' As long as your tone is well-dressed and sweaty enough, it doesn't matter what you say!

''{Cut to a black background with yellow lights shining out of it. Tenerence Love, holding a microphone and visibly perspiring, is in the lower right, slowly drifting to the upper left.}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ''{sings}'' This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight jam!

''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the lower left, drifting to the upper right}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight ham!

''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the upper center, drifting down}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' It may be five pounds...

''{The symbol for the [[Wikipedia:Pound sterling|Pound sterling]] appears in Tenerence Love's right sunglasses lens, the number 5 in his left lens}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ...ten pounds, ''{the 5 changes to a 10}'' twenty pounds,

''{The 10 changes to a 20. Tenerence Love disappears and two Tenerence Loves appear on both sides and drift toward the center}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' Just a little bit overweight, now welcome, girl, to sweaty town!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And when that gets you slapped and escorted from her building by security, you can always buy a fourteen-pound bag of extra-long—

''{Homestar Runner enters from the left wearing a charcoal grey turtleneck similar to Strong Bad's, but with a black star on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Ah, ha ha, ha ha! Oh, Strong Bad. It's funny to me when you try to play grown-up!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising his fist}'' What are you talking about, Mary Ann?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows I'm the only one around here with any real no-arms-on experience with the lady-makes! ''{cut back to wider view of the classroom}'' Just listen to this little make-out inducing number I threw together this mo'nin'! ''{starts dancing and speaking in rhythm}'' This mo'nin'! ''{Strong Bad begins to dance along}'' This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, but only 'cause that little song was kind of cool!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahem!

''{Fade out. Fade in on Homestar Runner, still wearing his turtleneck and now with brown hair similar to Strong Bad's in front of a grey background. He is on the left; to the right of him a paper comes down with the word "MARZiPAN" written vertically}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' M is for milk. ''{"Milk" appears next to the "M" on the paper}'' The real stuff! ''{looking annoyed}'' Not soy. ''{no longer annoyed}'' 
A is for not-organic apples. ''{"APPLES" appears next to the "A" on the paper}'' Pesticides ahoy! 
R is for raisins, ''{"RAISINS" appears next to the "R" on the paper}'' they give me bad gas! 
Z is too hard, so at this one, I'll pass. ''{"(PASS)" appears next to the "Z" on the paper}'' 
I is for inchiladas! ''{"inchiladas" appears next to the "i" on the paper}'' And—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar!

''{Cut back to the classroom, Homestar no longer has brown hair and his hat is back on}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what's up?

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not a love poem! That is a lavishly produced grocery list!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, ''{holds up a small piece of lined paper; writing on the other side saying "amazing thing" four times is faintly visible}'' ''here'' is my grocery list! Amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing.

''{Cut back to the wider view of the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, where you been shopping?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' SkyMall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you and Marzipan even dating right now?

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Are we even dating ''{chuckles and grins}'' right now? Are we even d— Are we even da—

''{Cut back to wider view of the classroom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quieter and lower, with a sad look}'' No, she broke up with me again this morning.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This morning?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean ''{singing and dancing as before}'' this mo'nin'!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing together}'' This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo—

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:HomelessRomantic.PNG|thumb|Verses from the weird shrub and more!]]
*Click on "Homeless Romantic" at the beginning to view a book written by [[Senor Cardgage]] entitled "The Homeless Romantic".

*Click on the words "Love poems" at the end of the email to see a small clip with Strong Sad.
*:''{A very eager Strong Sad is jiggling up and down in a chair and holding a book of poems titled "Poem Tome by Strong Sad". A red phone with green marks that resemble Strong Bad's eyes is in the foreground, and the audio of the email can be heard faintly in the distance, along with the music from [[caffeine]]}''
*:'''STRONG SAD:''' Why isn't he calling me in on the Strong Badphone? This email was practically tailor-made for me!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] is late 16th century England, coinciding with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It is considered the first great era of English poetry and literature, producing authors like [[Shakespeare]].
*The "removing of random letters" Strong Bad refers to is done in poems in order to maintain a strict [[Wikipedia:Meter (poetry)|poetic meter]].
*Homestar's "lavishly produced grocery list" actually resembles an [[Wikipedia:Acrostic|acrostic]] poem.

===Remarks===
*The shadows' offset on "-Elizabethan" and "-Kimberlian" slightly change when "-Meredithian" comes on screen.
**"-Elizabethan" also slightly moves as "-Kimberlian" is added.
*The Cheat has apparently gotten better at his Flash animations, as there are no mistakes in Tenerence Love's Music video, exempting the "£5-10-20" on his glasses (probably for effect), as well as a full range of mouth movements.
*The title and subtext of ''Homeless Romantic'' reiterates a point made in [[kind of cool]], alongside many of the other [[Senor Cardgage]] appearances, that implied he was homeless.

===Inside References===
*Homestar mentions his [[lack of visible arms]].
*Homestar's poem has each letter of Marzipan's name capitalized, except for one [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]].
*Homestar describes [[Not X|not]]-organic apples.
*Meredith's line echoes [[The Ugly One]]'s line, "I have a crush on every boy!", from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Cheerleader's shirt reads "poifect", another instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*The Easter egg references Brunswick [[Stew]], first mentioned in [[New Boots]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Parents|grandparents]].
*Homestar admits that [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship#Homestar and Marzipan Breaking Up|Marzipan broke up with him]].
*Homestar's grocery list is made entirely up of [[nondescript nouns]].
*Tenerence Love's [[Green tongues|tongue is green]] and his song mentions [[ham]].
*Homestar previously tried to use a grocery list for an unrelated reason in [[The Interview]].

=== Real-World References ===
*"I herly berly on gerly werly" is a reference to a line spoken by the second witch in [[Shakespeare]]'s [[Wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]. The line is "When the hurlyburly's done, when the battle's lost and won."
**This reference could also be a combined reference to the song [[Wikipedia:Blinded By The Light|"Blinded By The Light"]] by [[Wikipedia:Bruce Springsteen|Bruce Springsteen]] which the lyric goes "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride"
*Tenerence Love's overweight "R&B make-out jam" is a reference to soul singers such as [[Wikipedia:Barry White|Barry White]] and [[Wikipedia:Luther Vandross|Luther Vandross]], who were overweight singers but still attractive to female audiences.
*Homestar's "This Mo'nin" jam (specifically the way he says "Mo'nin") sounds like [[Wikipedia:Newcleus|Newcleus]]' hip-hop classic, "Jam On It".
*[[Wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is an airline catalog from which passengers can order various items after leaving the plane, or by use of airplane telephones. Most of the items in the catalog are gadgets and things that would appeal to those with higher incomes.
*The Strong Bad Phone is similar in concept to the Bat phone, a device Commissioner Gordon used to contact [[Batman]] in time of need in the live-action '60s television show.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh man, Addendum. My funeral's going to be off all of the following: the hook, the chain, the charts, the grid, and most importantly, the wagon. ''{clears screen}'' First, I'll have to deal with the most difficult decision a newlydead faces: what to do with my stinking, rotten remains. I don't want to be just lying there surrounded by sweet-smelling flowers—

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''ZOMBIE STRONG BAD:''' You keep your chappy thong to yourself, Mister!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hordes of locusts and famine got nothing on the sight of Strong Sad dancing interpretively. So, in order to spare the world, I guess I can just never die. Okay!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"[[Wikipedia:Off-the-grid|Off the grid]]" is a method of providing power, water and other utilities to a building that does not use the public utility grids. It is also a slang term for living outside of normal society, so that one cannot be traced by the government or other authorities.
*"Off the wagon" is a phrase meaning a recovering alcoholic has started drinking again.
*A [[Wikipedia:Suplex|suplex]] is an offensive move often used in professional, olympic, and collegiate wrestling where a wrestler essentially flips their opponent over their shoulders.
*[[Wikipedia:Taxidermy|Taxidermy]] is the practice of preserving dead animals (usually sport game shot by a hunter) by stuffing them full of sand or sawdust to retain their natural posture for display as trophies.
*An [[Wikipedia: addendum|addendum]] is "something added or to be added, especially a supplement to a written work."
*A [[Wikipedia: leotard|leotard]] is a one-piece dance outfit or a swimsuit.
*Strong Bad's reference to "fetal-pig style" refers to the use of unborn [[Wikipedia:Fetal pig|pigs]], a by-product of the meat packing industry, being commonly packaged in formaldehyde and used for study in high school biology.
* A [[Wikipedia: Thong(clothing)|thong]] is an underwear item.
* [[Wikipedia: Acupuncture|Acupuncture]] is a technique of inserting and manipulating filiform needles into "acupuncture points" on the body with the aim of restoring health and well-being.
*The reading of the phone book during the funeral refers to the practice of reading a certain verse(s) out of the [[Wikipedia:Bible|Bible]] or other religious text during most religious funerals.

===Trivia===
*This email was actually available several hours before the official "New Strong Bad Email" button appeared. It was accessible by clicking on the "email soon" button or by typing in the URL.
*This email originally did not have a visible loading screen at the beginning or the Bibendum Easter egg. Both were added several hours after the email was released.
*The tape in the [[booOOMbox]] reads "my COOLogy". COOLogy is a [[portmanteau]].
* "Chaup Au Fan" is intended to sound like French, but doesn't really mean anything. It probably refers to the French names for many [[Wikipedia:Glossary of ballet|ballet dance steps]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad details his off the hook funeral plans."

===Remarks===
[[Image:Homestar eulogy your funeral.png|thumb|A reading from the book of phone.]]
*Chapter 16 of the phone book contains pizza places because P is the 16th letter in the English alphabet.
*The Easter egg is the first time we see Strong Sad with visible teeth (although it is a different incarnation than usual).
*When Strong Sad carries the jar, the liquid inside defies the laws of physics: it ought to be level with the horizon, but is at the same angle as the jar.
*The coat that Homestar hangs on the stuffed cougar has sleeves for arms, but Homestar [[Lack of Visible Arms|has no visible arms]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Sad is carrying the jar before the funeral, the image of Strong Bad as a corpse has been reversed (the ribs on Strong Bad's right side are exposed rather than the ones on his left side) compared to the other two times he's shown like that (on the table and when he breaks out of the jar).
*When Strong Sad is carrying the jar, Strong Bad's leg bones are visible through the rips at his knees, but when he breaks out, there is skin on both legs.
*The first shot in Strong Sad's Easter egg shows 2046 Strong Sad with scars on his body and no belly button. However, his body in the close-up shot has a belly button and no scars.

===Glitches===
*One pixel's worth of Homestar's eyes is visible when he closes his eyes as he reads his eulogy, at the bottom of where his left eye is (on the viewer's right) when it is open. The pixel blinks at the normal Homestar rate.
**This is not visible when zooming in any way into the Flash file, whether it is in the HTML file it is in or the file itself. 

===Inside References===
*This is the fourth email in a row mentioning [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]].
*This is another mention of [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|Strong Bad typing with boxing gloves on]] (though not directly addressed).
*The fat man at Strong Bad's funeral is wearing a [[duckie shirt]].
*The lady commenting on Strong Bad's peacefulness and Strong Bad saying, "[[Shut up, lady]]!" is a reference to [[bottom 10]], when a lady with a similar voice commented on the "desserts with dangerous names", with the same response by Strong Bad.

*The 2046 version of Pom Pom has the same style of hair as he did in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*Strong Bad's desire to record his own eulogy alludes to his previously expressed doubts regarding the coherency of The Cheat's and Strong Mad's speech in [[cheat talk]].
*The vocal effect used for Strong Bad after he breaks out of the jar is the same one used by he, Homestar, and Bubs as paramecia in [[highschool]].
*Strong Sad says "Chaup Au Fan" with the same accent and hand motions he used to say "Chaperone" in [[senior prom]].

Flashfight: /**/Wrong end of the cigarette

Is it just me, or is it just late, or does this article seem a bit... informal? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
:It's not just you. It is, however, a good idea. It just needs a lot of spic-and-span... Maybe a little [[Grout Clean'r]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Yeah! What he said! --[[User:VolatileChemical|The Creator]]

== Cigs ==
There are a lot of other times cigarettes are seen on the site that don't involve The Cheat. Should those be listed here somewheres? {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:A better question: Why haven't you added them already? Be '''bold''' with your editing! I recomend creating a ciggaretes page, then moving the cheat's smoking onto a seperate section of it. Unless some other users disagree. But I say go for it. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:57, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

==Cleanup==

I've marked this article for {{tl|cleanup}} because I know that I can't be the only one with the opinion that the entire first paragraph of this page is pretty much complete speculation and/or non-encyclopediac style:<blockquote>[[The Cheat]] has got a problem: '''he's a smoker'''. While usually cigarettes, he's not opposed to old-style pipes. He can usually be seen puffing on a pack of [[Trophies|Trophy Lights]] after a period of stress or fatigue. Though some times his [[Characters#Main characters|friends]] will try to get him off cigarettes, he is hooked good, and these attempts are never too successful.</blockquote> It would be great if a better introduction could be worked out for this page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

:Okay, that has been reworded, I believe. Is there anything else anyone thinks may be a good idea to clean up? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
::I reworded it to make it sound a little better. I don't see anything else that's wrong with the page. Is it time to get rid of the clean up tag? [[User:Isaac Smith|Isaac Smith]]

Here's an idea...perhaps due to the extreme difference of physiology, The Cheat might be '''immune to the harmful effects of smoking.''' This would explain the fact that although his friends try to get him off it, they really don't try that hard. Good, huh? -The very strongest
: That's speculation, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, there's been no cleanup on this for over a month, and it seems fine to me as is, so I'm going to remove the tag, if you have any objections just put it back up [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 11:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

== Wrong end of the cigarette ==

The article says that Teh Cheat is seen smoking the wrong end of the cigarette, though that is not the case in any of the appearances listed. I'm going to remove the fact for now unless anyone can come up with the example that this fact is based on. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 17:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in 
an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender containing a [[Nintendo]] Game Boy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeing The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' What? I— I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything except him and the swirl turns black and white. Strong Bad distorts horizontally and vertically, then "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip with a number of buildings drawn in it. A caption at the top of the panel reads "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding...

''{Camera shifts to the next panel, which shows an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. While in the comic, everything Strong Bad says is also shown in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says also appears in a speech bubble, and is not lip-synced.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad appears in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is shown from the chest up in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman appears in front of a red background with his arms in the air. A thunderclap can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...IS RENT CONTROLLED! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. A kitchen and bathroom sink are shown with the faucets running. The bathroom tap has the word "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' MU-HU-HA-HA-HAH! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump!

''{He falls down three panels. There is a woman with a big knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of a cable running through a hole in the wall.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat?

''{Cut back to the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice is slightly distorted, and a speech bubble appears from the swirl}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{single The Cheat noise}''

''{The Cheat turns around and turns on the blender. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" with which he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared, but flipped around and with a green background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to the Old-Timey stage. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on the stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him is a sign that reads "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". An audience can be seen silhouetted at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You've ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of gray tomatoes!

''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

''{As Vector Strong Bad speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP.

''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "UP", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator!

''{Cut back to previous view.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth. Stinkoman jumps around and dodges the squares. Strong Bad also jumps over and around the squares, but appears to have more difficulty doing so. Game music from [[video games]] plays. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his Dangeresque sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. The Fat Bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left in a bathing suit. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{he half-runs toward the root beer and jumps in}'' Jump! ''{this last word does not appear in a subtitle}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and dances while playing a tune.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Stop Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other. After a moment, Strong Bad disappears again.}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Stripèd pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to the interdimensional void, which changes colors constantly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room. The blender still contains the Game Boy, but now also contains a green substance. One and a half avocados are sitting on the desk, along with a jar that reads "Total Load". Homestar is pressing buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the portal and Strong Badman appears on the left side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses another button on the blender. He and the portal both suddenly disappear, and Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a supergroup and record a number one jam!

''{All of the Strong Bad clones groan.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{off-screen, simultaneously with Old-Timey Strong Bad}'' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously with Stinkoman}'' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of e-mails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas from [[Sbemail 150?!?]]:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to a close-up of the pear with its eyes googling, then to another shot of the pear from behind Coach Z with his arm raised higher. Then cut to a close-up of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the original shot. Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{distressed}'' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants!

*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Aging in dogs|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*[[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed too high. Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available.
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians and from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.
*[[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsaparilla]] (spelled incorrectly as "sarsparilla" in the flashback scene) is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. It is more commonly pronounced "sass-parilla" than "sar-sparilla" or "sar-sa-parilla". It is also commonly misspelled "sasparilla".
*A freemason is a member of a fraternal men's organization such as the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]] or the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]]. Other organizations permitting women and/or minors as members, including [[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]],fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]], etc.
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]]. Drinks containing electrolytes, such as popular sports drinks, are often used to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Supergroup (music)|Supergroup]] is a musical group comprising artists who were previously members of earlier, well-known groups.
*A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
*[[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "[[Wikipedia:Photoshopping|Photoshopped]]" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively to say that something is rather obviously edited.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'. This is also a reference to the anime art style, where noses are less pronounced than most American cartoons.

===Trivia===
*This email was the longest email when released, almost a full minute longer than [[flashback]] (previously the longest). However, it has since been surpassed by [[retirement]].
*When Strong Bad jumps down several panels in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel containing an explosion (with the word "TADAOW!"), and another panel with [[Strong Badman Characters#Deutschman|Deutschman]] (from [[haircut]]) holding a chain of sausages. Deutschman is saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".
*This is the first time Stinkoman has been seen smiling without laughing.
*This is the first time we hear the Da Huuuuuudge's voice.
*This marks the second time in which characters from at least two different universes come together in one universe. The first time was in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], in which The Homestar Runner shows up on [[Planet K]].
*When the portal appears, along the side of it, there is some pixel disruption, where you can see the individual pixels.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]] [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Ears|or ears]], despite the fact that those body parts were mentioned in this email.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a rare occasion of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad]].
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the [[Strong Sad's Guitar|guitar]] [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*When Strong Bad types "Well, Ms. Dozer" he types Ms. (pronounced 'miz', used by both married and single women) but pronounces it 'miss', which is the form of address for unmarried women.
*If every dollar was a "dog year", then according to the [[Wikipedia:Dog years|popular formula]], the money would still only sum up to ninety-eight dollars.
**Conversely, if Strong Bad were correct, each "dollar in dog years" would be worth over $70,000.
*Frappé is spelled as "Frappe" when Strong Bad talks to The Cheat. It is lacking the acute accent.
*During the Vector Strong Bad segment, the cartoon's border changes to red.
*When the mug of root beer appears, the hole is under the hammock; before, it was beside the hammock.
*Homestar pronounces the word "fruit" without his usual speech impediment.
*Not all Strong Bad versions were included, such as his [[Powered by The Cheat]] version or his [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters|Teen Girl Squad]] version.

*During the recording session at the end, Strong Badman's words appear in a speech bubble, but Vector Strong Bad's words do not appear in text as they always otherwise do.
*In the same scene, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*In the recording studio, the characters use wireless microphones. While wireless microphones are handy in live performance (to prevent signal loss on a long cable run, as well as to avoid tangling of cables), they are actually rarely used in studio work because cabled microphones deliver truer fidelity.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.
*As Coach Z moves his head during his line in the Black Lodge Easter egg scene, the way the coffee dripping from the bottom of his head is animated makes it look as though the coffee breaks the rules of gravity; it seems to be dripping at an angle.
*In the Easter Egg with Senor Cardgage, when Strong Bad disappears, his voice can still be heard even though he is probably far away from where Senor Cardgage is.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Altuniv1318-1319.png|thumb|From blue to green.]]
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad's reflection is out of sync with his movements.
*After cutting to the wide shot showing The Cheat with the blender, the Lappy's screen includes the text "Isn't that right, The Cheat?", even though Strong Bad didn't actually type it.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the alternate universe portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping. It briefly reappears after Strong Bad leaves, but for the remainder of the email, the stool is missing.
*During the comic scene, the panel below the one after "Because, mere mortal..." has a blue background at first. When it moves to the next panel ("Is rent controlled!"), the background changes to green.
*Several times during the email, Strong Bad's pants change color from black to dark navy (although the pant legs remain the same color), such as the first scene with Vector Strong Bad and the recording session at the end.
[[Image:Alternateuniversegoof.png|thumb|Disappearing start line.]]
*In the "Dig to China with your ears contest" part, the starting line disappears when the camera cuts to the giant mug of root beer.

*In the "Save The Last Email" song, Vector Strong Bad is behind Strong Badman, yet his white and green lines appear above Strong Badman when talking/singing.
*Stinkoman does not have any shine on his chest. This also happened in [[Happy Trogday]], prior to this toon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's intro song refers to flipping [[the bird]].
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]] entry, although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string classical guitar.
[[Image:HSRTimeMachine.PNG|thumb|Homestar's Time machine]]
*The alternate dimension machine is a [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|Game Boy in a Blender]]. In [[2 emails]], Homestar claims to have made a time machine by sticking a Game Boy in a [[blender]] while the email is fast-forwarding.
*This is another example of [[mashing]].
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The woman on Strong Badman's television is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells the word "dog" ("dawg") the same way.
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of." The worst contests that originated in children's storybooks are likely to be the "Strongest Man in the World Contest" from the [[Original Book]], and the "Ten Step Footrace" from [[flashback]].

*The fence used for the puppet Strong Badia set is the same one used in [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]].
*This is another appearance of the [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.
*Strong Bad previously mentioned "real fruit smoothies" in [[mascot]], saying that he had promised to buy some for the team if they won the game.
*Homestar Runner's "real fruit smoothie" is another example of a [[concoction]].
*Stinkoman's line in the song "I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to the e-mail song in [[dragon]] ("Every week I hope that it's from a female!").
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman, his well-drawn abs and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Deutschman originated in [[haircut]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]] and played the same song then as in this email. 
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "stripèd pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*In addition, some of the music accompanying the scenes Strong Bad visits are also reused from other parts of the website. They include:
**The music from [[action figure]]; later used in [[suntan]] and [[army]] (during the Strong Badman scene).
**Old-Timey Strong Bad's theme music from [[Parsnips A-Plenty]]; later used in [[50 emails]] (during the Old-Timey scene).
**[[The Homestar Runner]]'s dance music (also during the Old-Timey scene).
**The synthesized drum tune from [[Main Page 21]] (during the [[Vector Field]] scene).
**The music from [[flashback]] (during the [[Original Book]] scene).
**Keyboard Strong Bad's demo music from [[crazy cartoon]].
**The weird music during Coach Z's dream scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]]; later used in [[lures & jigs]] (during the fishing Easter egg scene with Senor Cardgage).
**The creepy music during Strong Sad's storyboard scenes from [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (during the Coach Z Easter egg).
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
**The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', ("150th email"), was also coined by Strong Sad in Sbemail 150?!?.
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].

The background for the scene featured red drapes, and the starring character, Dale Cooper, spills coffee on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee. The unusual speech used by Homestar, meanwhile, was the hallmark of the scene; the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here). It seems as though Matt Chapman faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards. ''Twin Peaks'' was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]], whom Strong Sad cited as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Additionally, the phrase "I'm not at liberty to discuss [...]" is a direct lift from the lines of Major Garland Brigs, a character on Twin Peaks, who is often unable to talk about what he does for a living.
*[[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The [[sound effect]] in the fishing Easter Egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from ''[[Wikipedia:Fishing with John|Fishing With John]]''.
*Strong Bad jumping from panel to panel resembles the game [[Wikipedia: Comix Zone|Comix Zone]]

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I refuse to speak about this SBEmail!

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhh, Old-Timey Strong Bad.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Aren't you glad to see-a me?

'''MIKE:''' Do you go by Old-Timey Strong Bad or are you just Strong Bad?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I'll go by you with a spine-toothed comb!

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... I forgot—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' And I'm out!

'''MATT:''' Oh! Uh, who was that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know. I guess he didn't think he could make it though the whole email?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. He said he was refusing to comment on it.

'''MIKE:''' I didn't remember that Strong Sad played, uh, backup on the email song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a sweet— it's one of the few— one of the few tender moments between those brothers. When he says "No prob Bob," it makes me want to cry.

'''MIKE:''' So, it was—

'''MATT:''' Like those times when we were kids and you would be nice and let me hang out with you and John Radle.

'''MIKE:''' They were few and far between. It was usually just so we could beat you up or pour something on you.

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

'''MIKE:''' Spray something in your eye.

'''MATT:''' Uh, Gameboy in a blender, Mike, so that's a reference to— What email is that? The one where Strong Bad fast— The one where he fast forwards. 2 emails?

'''MIKE:''' 2 emails.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that!

'''MATT:''' Whoa!

'''MIKE:''' Look at that portal!

'''MATT:''' Whoa! What a portal! ''{pause}'' Definitely. Portals— Anybody that's developing portals right now, in the military or in science needs to stop. 'Cause video— if video games have taught us anything, it's that a bunch of evil demons from Hell are gonna come out of it, and, kill us all. ''{pause}'' Oh! In— In Principal Belving's office!

'''MIKE:''' So, this email was kind of, you know we hadta, do something, special for 150.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, definitely. Bring all the Strong Bad— the various Strong Bads together.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The many faces of Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' The many facets, even.

'''MIKE:''' This is, uh... we had written a Strong Badman years ago, three or four years ago, that was sort of based on this premise.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he was just gonna get an apartment, and feel like his apartment was gonna help him take over the world, and he'd just have a landlord that he would— He hits him with ping— a ping-pong

'''MIKE:''' A ping-pong ball, yeah. Is that in here?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' No.

'''MATT:''' It's not.

'''MIKE:''' I can't remember. He throws a ping-pong ball—

'''MATT:''' At his landlord.

'''MIKE:''' Landlord, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Uh, it was just on cable. Whoa. And on Animal Planet. Probably.

'''MIKE:''' So, apparently She-Hulk was well known for breaking the fourth wall.

'''MATT:''' And having good writing. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, too. Which we didn't know.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, we didn't know. I just assumed She-Hulk— I've never read an issue of She-Hulk. One time she was in this Fantastic Four versus X-Men that I got. That's about all the exposure I have.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think I read about her in the Marvel— Didn't they have those Marvel universe, just kind of encyclopedias?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah. ''{pause}'' Good-time parlor tricks. So, back then, people were apparently so easily amused that you could do nothing. You could make nothing appear, and people would— people would ooh and ahh at you. ''{pause}'' Look, so these guy are buddies, Mike! My doge!

'''MIKE:''' That's a reference to a Biz Caz Fri.

'''MATT:''' Oh, Stinkoman. And to the right!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Your nose.

'''MATT:''' Uh... Oh, look out, Stinkoman. ''{pause}'' Uh... There he goes, rubbin' his head on the ground. He's wearing his Dangerask shades.

'''MIKE:''' Dangerask shades.

'''MATT:''' Dangeresque.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's like, sort of like danger.

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Dangeresque. It's means sort of like danger.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I was saying Dangerask. That's why I corrected myself. Oh, look, there's Casio head Strong Bad. Oh, look, now, he's in the real world, and in a real Strong Badia.

'''MIKE:''' That's in the next room.

'''MATT:''' It is.

'''MIKE:''' It's where we play video games.

'''MATT:''' Mmm hmm. ''{laughs}'' That's all that Strong Bad talks about, is stripèd pants. ''{referring to the vitamin bottle behind Homestar}'' Total Load! Do you think our brother still has some Total Load somewhere in his house. He used to get Ultra-Fuel.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hy-hydro Fuel and Ultra-Fuel?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah. ''{pause}'' What up, Cardgage?

'''MIKE:''' Is Cardgage's hair backwards there?

'''MATT:''' Probably. I think his hair doesn't follow any— His comb-over switches sides. ''{pause}'' What game is in there? Weird Dreams, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' I do remember.

'''MATT:''' Sometimes, you were inside a giant cotton candy machine. ''{laughs}'' ''{pause}'' Nobody wants to record a hit— a #1 jam with him. ''{pause}'' Hey, we're using a pop screen on our microphone right now, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' And we're sitting in a room with ceiling tiles on the wall just like that!

'''MATT:''' It's true. ''{laughs}'' Old-Timey Strong Bad did not like that high note Stinkoman tried to hit. Sterrence is not singing. ''{pause}'' This is a pretty good song.

'''MIKE:''' I like that, uh, guitar going in the background.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{guitar noises}''

'''MATT:''' Da Huuuuuudge ''{pronounces 'the'}'' has a heavenly voice. Who woulda thought?

'''MIKE:''' Senor Muybueno's not in there.

'''MATT:''' Well, there's a few that it's missing, but this is the, you know—

'''MIKE:''' Those are all the ones that have appeared more than once, probably.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Except Da Huuuuuudge has only appeared once before that.

===Fun Facts===
*Senor Muybueno is from the [[Strong Libs]] Easter Egg from [[lackey]] and the [[Kicking The Cheat]] Lite scene of [[pop-up]].

Portmanteaus

Flashfight — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:55:12 GMT

Flashfight: undid revision 567401;only unique to H*R

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are commonly used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. A portmanteau is a combination of two words to make a third, often going against the accepted traditions of how words are compounded. The term originally referred to a man's travel bag which contained two main pockets. Portmanteaus were first given that name by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] to describe "slithy" in the poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]], a combination of "lithe" and "slimy".

[[Strong Bad]] and [[Senor Cardgage]], especially, frequently create portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

== The Ugly One disagreement ==

I know that you have been a bit heated over the The Ugly One issue that we've been discussing, and I would like to offer you some suggestions that may help you in your future discussions. First, I would register an account. It's quick, it's easy, and (like it or not [I personally don't]) the community values the opinions of those users who take the time to register than those who don't. Second, I would be a little more civil on the talk page. As I'm sure you're aware, the wiki works as a collaborative effort of all contributors. By demeaning or attacking other contributors, your opinions are less regarded, since you're actions aren't in keeping with the ideals of a wiki. I don't mean to get you upset, and I really hope that you aren't turned off from the wiki, because honestly, we need spirited and energetic people like you contributing to the wiki. Hope to talk to you later, {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 09:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

i had an account. this same thing happened. i tried to make one honest change that didn't even blend or change any facts, and it kept getting reverted. i think it's obvious that most people use internet exploder, right? well on the peacey p article, there is a character that IE7 does not correctly display. go check it. the line "He has a symbolized representation of his name" was written by me, but they would not let it happen without a bunch of arguing. This was when it was still on the "Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters" page, before peacey p had his own page. If what i added was not there, people with ie7 would have no idea what it was saying. of course you could just look at the picture and the whole line could be deleted, but if it has to be there it should be browser friendly. it takes way too much to make any change on here, and that's how i get frustrated. but i guess that's what we get for being involved in a wiki for such a highly popular cartoon/gaming site.
:I can only speak from my experiences, and I can tell you that this wiki, above all the others that I am involved in, relies heavily on the talk pages to affect change. A change or alteration of a fact is far more likely when it is proposed by a user with a long history of constructive additions (I would suggest adding to newer topics to build up this aspect) who illustrates his point clearly, logically, and (frankly) with proper grammar and spelling. Meaning no disrespect to you, the wiki tends to clump anonnies with poor grammar (especially those who don't sign their talk posts) into one big mass and the well worded argument that came out 3-4 posts down in our discussion tends to be ignored because of it. I want to see you contribute in the future, and if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 09:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
