== Gratings! ==
I'm Guessed, the person who knows very little about the workings of wikis but joined up anyway because he/she loves H*R a whole lot. And deleting erroneous commas. And replacing "less than"s with "fewer than"s. And vice versa.

I first found H*R in middle school, but I couldn't get into it, since all my dorkitude was concentrated on Neopets at the time. Now, in high school, I've got a newfound appreciation for this, the most fanglorious site on the internet. The timewaster extraordinaire. And so on.

This cartoon and its dumb animal characters... they mean so much to me. I'm expeshly thankful to TBC for introducing me to so many awesome and/or hilarious things, like [[Wikipedia:scud the disposable assassin|Scud]] and [[Wikipedia:fishing with john|Fishing With John]] and [[Wikipedia:of montreal|Of Montreal]] and adventure games in general. I never would've discovered the wonders of old Lucas Arts and Sierra games if it wasn't for Strong Bad's infectious 8-bit love. Thanks, juys. Oh, and thanks, hrwiki goblins! Nice place you got here.

Talk:Cheat Commandos (toon)

Guessed — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 05:27:56 GMT

Guessed: possible ref

{{featuredarticle}}

==''Blue Laser'' or ''Lazer''?==
La'''s'''er is the proper acronym but this ain’t [[Free Country, USA]]. I don’t care either way but we should be consistent. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 17:14, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)

It is La''s''er, not La''z''er, as can be proved in [[Shopping for Danger]] when the Cheat Commandos get a 'Blue La'''s'''-alert'. [[User:EDY-innit|EDY-innit]] 06:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

==Cartoon vs. Concept==
Now that there are so many Cheat Commando's cartoons I think maybe we should seperate the first cartoon from the concept, just like TGS has a seperate page from TGS episode 1. What say ye? 
[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 12:29, 2 Oct 2004 (MST)

==Closed STUFF==
=== For the little 'uns (ACCEPTED) ===
All of the Cheat Commandos action figures are designed for ages "3 to 5".

*'''Accept.''' It says "ages 3-5" quite clearly at the bottom right of each action figure package. Why was this STUFF-ed? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 02:43, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:30, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' Does this really need to be noted at all? I mean, it *is* right there on the package! I haven't changed my vote yet, but ... -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''What? Undelete it! Undelete it!''' Do something! Do anything! *ahem* Accept. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 06:23, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Oy. Come on, people...not every Fun Fact needs to be here. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:29, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*I hate to be the one to do this when everyone else is accepting, but...SO? I mean, what's your point? '''Decline.''' --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 18:48, 28 Apr 2005
*'''Accept but move''' to the [[Cheat Commandos (toon)#The Cheat Commandos (and their package captions)|package captions]] list at the bottom of that page. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 20:27, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 22:24, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

==Page Title==

Why was the page title named Compy 386!! if the cartoon has nothing to do with [[Strong Bad Emails]]??-[[User: Gordon 584|Gordon 584]]

'Cause TBC goofed up. They've done it before, they just haven't corrected it here.

== FoxFace ==

The name "Foxface" could also be a reference to the nickname of Major Margaret Houlihan (from the TV series M*A*S*H) who had the nickname of "Hotlips."

== Superfriends ==

This summer, I visited my younger cousins house. He's really hung up on old cartoons and superheroes (he's nine, after all), and was watching the old 'Challenge of the Superfriends' first-season DVD. The theme song opening for that show showed the Superfriends marching across the screen, and some of the Superfriends walked past twice. I immediately thought of the Cheat Commandos sequence where much the same thing happens. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Page Move ==
I moved the page because it is clearly called "Cheat Commandos" on the website. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''
:Fair enough. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Fast Forward ==

A fast forward section should be added that mentions the clip "to protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!" is replayed exactly as it is, in [[virus]], except for the gun being replaced with homestar's leg. I have taken the liberty to change the link in virus to point to the toon itself, rather than the Cheat Commandos character page, as I beleive this to be more appropriate (and probably what was originally intended).
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:26, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Remarks vs Goofs==

I believe that the Cheat Commandos walking by twice should be considered a goof and that the "Action Figure Storage Vehicle" should be considered a remark. TBC must not have noticed the former, whereas the latter is a perfectly good alternate name for the vehicle.
:Or it could be deliberate, as a reference/parody to old cartoons like ''Challenge of the Superfriends'', like I said several entries above. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Cheat Commando toy template. ==

The spots "painted" on all the cheat commandos are the all the same except Firebert. He has his own unique spot design. (Ripberger's completely covered so we can't compare him to anyone else). Easiest way to spot this is compare Reynold to everyone else. I don't know what section this should go in.

== Duplicate characters ==

in the scene where all of the Commandos are walking, there are two Gunhavers.
:Yup. It's noted in the Remarks section of the article and on this talk page several times. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

== Another G.I. Joe reference? ==

I don't have the episode handy, but I think the red-laser-blue-laser battle from the commercial may have specifically come from the episode "Captives of Cobra"... but, then, since I don't have an image handy, I'll just leave this here in case anyone else has any thoughts. - [[User:Taster's Choice|Taster's Choice]] 00:09, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

== Star Wars 1982/83 toy commercial reference? ==

Homestar's "Surprise surprise, Firebert" is evocative of "Surprise surprise, I'm Lando in disguise!" which was a pretty well-remembered/earwormy line from an old SW toy commercial. I can't know if TBC had it in mind for sure but I thought I'd mention it as a possible reference here. [[User:Guessed|Guessed]] 05:27, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Throwing Bricks

Guessed — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 06:30:21 GMT

Guessed: added example from DVD extra

[[File:brick throwing.png|thumb|"...like me throwing a discount brick at you."]]
Though bricks are primarily used for constructing walls or buildings, [[Strong Bad]] will occasionally [[Crimes Committed by Strong Bad#Assault and Battery|use them as a heavy projectile]], threatening or engaging in the activity of '''brick-throwing'''.
== Appearances ==
*Email [[the process]] {{--}} [[Strong Bad]] throws a discount brick at [[Homestar]].
*Email [[local news]] (Easter egg) {{--}} In one of the songs on [[Strong Bad's Rhythm N' Grammar]], Strong Bad threatens to throw a brick through a girl's dad's windshield if she forgets to spellcheck.
*[[Sketchbook (video)]] (DVD Extra) {{--}} Matt and Mike share a comic they drew for their highschool's newspaper, in which Strong Bad throws a brick at Homestar.
*Email [[imaginary]] {{--}} [[Lil' Strong Bad]] exclaims that he will "attach this definite brick to [[Scotty Titi]]'s face" while throwing one at [[Strong Sad]]'s imaginary friend.
*[[Crystal Fortress]] {{--}} Strong Bad says that he's going to throw a brick at the cellist.
*[[@StrongBadActual]] {{--}} Strong Bad retweets a poster of Homestar Runner, stating that he'd hang it up on a wall and chuck discount bricks at it.

Strong Sad's Lament

Guessed — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:32:28 GMT

Guessed: added trivia

[[Image:strong sads lament screenshot.PNG|thumb|240px|Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies.]]
'''Strong Sad's Lament''' (or '''Strong Sad's Litany of Crushed Hopes and Dreams''') is [[Strong Sad]]'s personal weblog. It originated in the email [[website]], in which it could be accessed by clicking on the "F10" image at the bottom of [[Strong Bad's website]].

In his lament, Strong Sad expresses his frustrations with life, complains about [[Strong Bad]]'s constant practical jokes, and describes his bizarre relationship with [[Homsar]]. It debuted on November 17, 2002, and within a week was on a two-and-a-half month hiatus. On February 3, 2003 it started again, and was regularly updated for nearly a month. It then went on a 17 month hiatus until August 5, 2004, when Strong Sad remembered his password and began posting regularly until September 9, 2004. The blog then went on a third hiatus until another post appeared on August 17, 2005. Once again, it appears to be on hiatus, since there has been no update since September 2005. Its current hiatus is acknowledged. ''(See [[#Fast Forward|Fast Forward]])''

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad says he can't jump, despite jumping in [[Experimental Film]] and [[boring (really)]]. He also does two jumping jacks in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], and one jumping jack the year before. He may be implying that he's no good at jumping. This may also be a reference to his "[[soolnds|elephant feet]]", since elephants do not have the ability to jump.
*There was never a "Mr. Mom Original Movie Soundtrack."
*Strong Sad does have Homsar as a friend, despite claiming to have no friends in his profile.
*"History Lesson Part II" employs a large number of Strong Bad mannerisms, such as:
::* calling Johnny Appleseed a hippie and a "freakin' weirdo"
::* calling Strong Sad "Saddy Dumpington"
::* using the [[funny|squeaky pants]] sound effect (in reference to the washboard)
::* growing tired/annoyed with the original subject and switching to a different subject at the very end
:This strongly suggests that the entry's author was actually Strong Bad, particularly since Strong Sad posted his password a few entries previous. However, in [[A Folky Tale]], Strong Sad claims that [[Saddy Dumpington]] is a "legendary folk hero [he] made up". There are several possible solutions to this apparent contradiction:
::* Strong Sad actually has some latent Strong Bad mannerisms that he only expresses through writing. It's quite common in the real world for mild-mannered people to adopt a very aggressive and hateful tone in their weblogs.
::::*As well, Strong Sad may also use similar mannerisms as his brother regularly, as seen at the end of [[different town]] where he calls Strong Bad a "spaz" and a "weirdo".
::* Strong Sad deliberately wrote the entry using Strong Bad's mannerisms.
::* Saddy Dumpington was originally Strong Sad's invention and Strong Bad made fun of it.
::* Saddy Dumpington was Strong Bad's invention and Strong Sad liked it so much he claimed it as his own.
::* Strong Bad did call Strong Sad "Saddy Dumpington" originally, and Strong Sad decided to use the name (either to write the folk tale, or as a name to use in a tale he already made up).
:The original drawing of Saddy is actually signed ''SS'' in the cursive writing only Strong Sad can create, further adding to the mystery.
* In "Post-it on my face", Strong Sad says he wakes up with a Post-it note on his head from Strong Bad. He then says "He thinks he is very awesome and also likes Post-its a lot." This is later proven in [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], in which Strong Bad puts Post-it notes everywhere and claims they could save the company millions.
*If Strong Sad really did count 1310720 pixels and recount them in 6 hours, he'd have counted over 121 pixels a second.
*The first entry was posted at 10:15 am, but Strong Sad says his weblog's "life" lasted from 12:05-12:15. Strong Sad may have entered the wrong time, or the server the blog is on is in a different time zone.

===Strong Sad's Mistakes===
*Strong Sad made a typo in the "Post-it on my face" entry. He writes "If I type real '''quite,''' maybe he won't come in here," instead of "quiet".
*He also makes a typo in the entry titled "A New Beginning of the End," in which he misspells "unfortunately" as "unforuntately."
*Strong Sad has a third typo in the entry "A New Year, A New You"; he misspells "remembered" as "remebered."
*In History Lesson, Part II, Strong Sad says that [[Wikipedia:Francis Scott Key|Francis Scott Key]] knew how to party orchestrally. However, Key only wrote the words to [[Wikipedia:The Star Spangled Banner|"The Star Spangled Banner"]] as a poem; it was later put to the music of an old English drinking song.
*In A Curious Email, Strong Sad typed "worthwhile" as two words ("worth while").
*In the entry discussing Homsar's party, Strong Sad says that Homsar called the chips "hot wings," but in Homsar's e-vite, he calls them chips (though such behavior may have been a one time thing).
**However, this was what Homsar said at the previous party. There is no direct mention of the details on the recent invitation in the blog, so it's possible that Homsar got it right this time around.
*Lukewarm water is not quite warm, but not quite cool. If one leaves a glass of lukewarm water out too long, the water will become ''cool'', not warm, unless there is an incredible heat wave. It is possible that the room temperature of an area is hotter than the glass (outside during the summer, if the heat is kept turned up), though.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad says "Each day we die a little more" on [[Who Said What Now?]].
*Homsar first said "JengaJam" in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*In [[different town]], Strong Bad wants Strong Sad to bring him back a bust of Bubo from the Clash of the Titans Con.
*Homestar mentions "''Night Court'' starring Richard Moll" in [[car]].
*"Arts b/w Crafts" is another instance of [[b/w]].
*One of the picture is of Nigel Planer, who plays Neil from ''[[Wikipedia:The Young Ones (TV series)|The Young Ones]]''. Strong Sad dressed up as another character from that show, Vyvyan, portrayed by Adrian Edmondson, in the 2002 [[Halloween]] toon, [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

=== Real-World References ===

**Strong Sad remembered his password at 3:14 PM.
**Homsar's e-vite is on March 14, or 3-14. March 14 is also [[Wikipedia:Pi Day|Pi Day]].
*The title of the 8/26/04 entry, "History Lesson Part II," is also the title of a song by the [[Wikipedia:Minutemen (band)|Minutemen]] (from 1984's ''Double Nickels on the Dime'' LP).
*In "From out of the darkness", "Rock me like an e-Hurricane" is a reference to the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane," by the band [[Wikipedia:Scorpions (band)|Scorpions]].

*[[Wikipedia:Godspeed You! Black Emperor|Godspeed You! Black Emperor]] is a band that is known for writing songs that are similar in length to symphonic pieces. Each song is divided into "movements," which would explain why Strong Sad can't tell where they begin and end.
*Strong Sad feeling "stereotyped and classified" is a reference to the song [http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Descendents/Suburban-Home.html "Suburban Home"] by the [[Wikipedia:Descendents (band)|Descendents]], which starts with, "I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified."
*A [[Wikipedia:George Foreman Grill|George Foreman Grill]] is an indoor grill promoted by boxing legend [[Wikipedia:George Foreman|George Foreman]].
*"Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies" is a quote from [[Wikipedia:Edward Scissorhands|Edward Scissorhands]].

=== Fast Forward ===
* In [[virus]], [[The Virus]] causes Strong Sad to have emoticon heads with descriptions. They are not the same emoticons from his blog, however (with the exception of "getting frustrated", which was in the February 28, 2003 blog.)
* In [[A Folky Tale]], Saddy Dumpington makes an appearance.
** Saddy also appears in [[Toikey TV]].
*In [[email thunder]], Strong Sad says not to look at his blog, as he hasn't updated in years.
*Strong Bad would list [[tree hugging]] (which Homsar invites Strong Sad to do) as #4 in his [[bottom 10]].

Talk:Strong Sad's Lament

Guessed — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:27:57 GMT

Guessed: painting info

{{featuredarticle}}

==Face Painting==
So I went to the Great Canyon in AZ a while ago and guess what I found:
[http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk247/nhaingen/ssadtower.png clicky]

It's on the inside wall of [http://www.scienceviews.com/parks/watchtower.html this tower]. There are actually a few Strong Sad heads in there. I'm adding this to Trivia/Fun facts unless someone decides it isn't worth a mention.

==Closed STUFF==
These were on the [[STUFF]] page. If you wish to contest these, leave a note here, but don't allow it to be confused with any of the original votes.

=== Meh (Declined) ===
"meh" is one of Strong Sad's emotions, and it also is frequently said by The Cheat.

*'''Decline.''' It's to obvious, It's like saying Homestar's speech impediment. Meh is also an emotion meaning normal, not happy, not sad, just...meh. - [[User:Stinkoman K|Stinkoman K]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:14, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 06:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Strong Bad's Lament? (Accepted but later extensively reworded)===
History Lesson Part II is written in the exact style of Strong Bad, as in that the entry says Johnny Appleseed was a hippie, and calls Strong Sad "dumpus". This may be becasue Strong Sad gave out his password earlier, so Strong Bad may have hacked Strong Sad's account and written his own entry.

*'''Decline.''' If that was true, Strong Bad would more likely write "HJLWHOUISNASNKL?A STUPID!! GUY I AM A STUPID GUY!! HA HA HA!!!!GUIS kljIUS SJ". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:16, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*That was one incident! You can't say that Strong Bad would write like that all the time. And you can't honestly say that sounds like Strong Sad. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 20:39, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*<s>'''Revise, Accept''' Too much speculation as written, but I must admit that it DOES look a bit more like SB's handiwork than SS's. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)</s>
*'''Decline''' I'm not seeing Strong Bad listening to a live David Bowie track... [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**And doubt Strong Bad could draw that good. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 11:42, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
** We ARE talking about the same Strong Bad, right...?
*You're using his art and musical tastes as an argument? Strong Bad's drawings of Trogdor during the theme is just as good as Saddy Dumpington, and Strong Sad would not call himself Dump*, let alone call anyone a hippie. And Strong Bad's character in no way reflects his music choices. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 16:15, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**What makes you think the drawings at the end of [[dragon]] are Strong Bad's? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 17:43, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***What makes you think the Saddy Dumpington drawing is Strong Sad's? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:54, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**My point is, TBC would never make a joke that subtle. For example, [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] didn't end without proofing who really judged the pumpkins. This "fact" is almost silly as ye old [http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=MarzipansAnsweringMachine%2FVersion+10.2%2FComments Homestar prank call debate]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 17:35, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*** So you're saying it DOES look like the kind of thing Strong Sad would write, what with all the typical Strong Bad comments? ("Dumpington", "freaking", "hippie", etc.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:35, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Yes/Maybe, I highly doubt Strong Bad would praise Francis Scott Key. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 19:10, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*Oh, and thanks to whoever added "Strong Bad's Lament to this section. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 16:16, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Vote change!''' Yup, I'm changing my vote. To a simple '''Accept'''. I didn't notice that his password really WAS given out on the page! I'm still pretty confident that the writing style and choice of words look more like SB than SS. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:00, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' [[User: Lord Pikachon|Lord Pikachon]]
*'''Accept''' Like Jay said above, I also don't think Strong Sad would use the words "freaking" and "hippie". I also don't think he "rocks out", even orchestrally, but that's just my opinion. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 19:23, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Secondinate!'''[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 16:59, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

'''I challenge this''', now that Strong Sad, in the new toon, claims to have invented Saddy Dumpington. It sounds like Strong Bad, but we have no reason to doubt Strong Sad when he says that he made Saddy Dumpington.

:Since the release of [[A Folky Tale]], this item has been extensively reworded to account for the apparent contradictions between the style of the post and the fact that Strong Sad claims to have made up Saddy Dumpintgon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:46, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

'''I propose moving it from Remarks to its own section.''' I originally created a new section called "Continuity Errors" for the reworded version (c.f the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Sad%27s_Lament&diff=132052&oldid=132049 diff]), but [[User:Pertmywert|Pertmywert]] reverted it. With respect to Pertmywert, I feel that this revert was rather hasty (it was reverted only two minutes after I posted my edits!) and without merit, and I would like to ask for a vote on it. With the release of the new toon and the increased length of the reworded version, I think it's important enough to deserve its own section. — [[User:68.46.120.170|68.46.120.170]] 17:41, 23 Aug 2005 (EDT)

:If it were to be in its own section, I don't think Continuity Errors fits, because the explanations offered are not really errors. I think it fits as a remark (a long remark), because essentially it's ''one'' comment on ''one'' of Strong Sad's posts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:52, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Perhaps a subsection? And it doesn't have to be called Continuity Errors; there's probably a better name out there somewhere. I just have two main concerns: 1) the remark is so much bigger than all the others, possibly distracting from them; and 2) it's hard to properly left-align an indented sublist that contains a newline. (The second concern could of course be allayed by a friendly Formatting Gnome. ☺) — [[User:68.46.120.170|68.46.120.170]] 22:27, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::The way you've fixed it looks good so far. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:35, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::::I know this ended a long time ago, but I still want my say: I think they were over-thinking it. Simple answer to this "mystery": It's hard to come up with different mannerisms for each character. I think TBC just slipped up. {{User:Haldo/sig}}

== Grim Reaper ==
*Is it worth noting that the grim reaper appers both [[HR:/sadjournal/vday.swf|here]] on Strong Sad's lament as well as in [[Experimental Film]] (though in the latter, Strong Sad is in the GR costume)?
:Nah, it just fits Strong Sad's personality. Always looking at the darker side of things.

Where was the box under strong sad's bed that had a slide show of strong bad and strong sad as kids??
:[[The Secrets That I Keep]] —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 09:24, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Goofs vs. Typos ==

"Goofs" are mistakes TBC make; for the purposes of our discussion, ''Strong Sad'' made the mistakes on this page. '''We don't note mistakes Strong Bad makes in his emails as Goofs;''' rather, we note them in the Remarks. Since there were enough of Strong Sad's mistakes for a whole section, I changed it to "Typos". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not really the guy who would know the difference. I only made that change for two reasons:
:#"Typos" isn't one of the ways we categorize Fun Facts. [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts|Goofs is]].
:#The Francis Scott Key fact is a Goof. I knew it wasn't a typo, so I changed the header to Goofs for lack of a better choice for that particular grouping.
:That being said, the Key fact is probably the only one of the four that are currently under that header that really is a Goof. The typos by Strong Sad should probably be moved to another section. Maybe Remarks?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:35, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Goofs may be our standard category, but '''we are flexible enough''' to accomodate a special category on a toon-by-toon basis. For example, [[50_emails#Homestar.27s_attempts_at_DELETED|Homestar's attempts at Deleted]]. I think these should be grouped together since there are several of them. How about "Strong Sad's Goofs", or "Strong Sad's Mistakes", or something similar? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::That's true, and we also have [[boring_%28really%29#Strong_Bad.27s_list_of_.5B.5BWikipedia:List_of_three-letter_English_words.7C3-letter_words.5D.5D|Strong Bad's List Of Three Letter Words]]. Since this is kind of a special case, I think Dot Com made the right call on THIS one, but as a rule, I think keeping to just the usual catagories would be best. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:23, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Er, I'm confused. No one is suggesting ''not'' using the usual categories, as a rule. But when something falls ''outside'' the usual categories, which this does, we use a special category to accomodate it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:10, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for bringing this up again, but aren't all of the typos technically TBC's (unless obviously part of a joke)? And since when do typos get put in Remarks rather than Goofs? They shouldn't... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:19, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

: I did a search for "typo", "misspells", "misspelled" and "misspelling". Of all cases where Strong Bad (or some other character) misspells something and it gets noted in a Fun Fact, and it's not obviously part of a joke, it's in Real-World References once ([[sb_email 22]], but not because of the misspelling—and I'm about to move that one to Explanations where it belongs), Remarks twice ([[Family Resemblence]], which has already been changed, and [[The Luau]]), and Goofs at least seven times ([[some kinda robot]], [[Homestar Quiz]], [[Bug In Mouth Disease]], [[the process]], [[morning routine]], [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[bottom 10]]!) It's pretty much a standard to put them in Goofs now as far as I can see. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:35, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I think in general, if TBC make a mistake then it's a Goof, if TBC intentionally have one of their characters make a mistake, that's a Remark, but only if it's not completely obvious to someone watching the toon. For example, Strong Bad making a typo in an email is probably TBC's mistake (unless the typo is a joke, it depends on the context), but most mistakes in PbTC toons are Remarks. {{User:phlip/sig}} 04:54, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

: My thoughts exactly. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:56, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== depressio111117 ==

Has anyone investigated to see if this is a screename maintained by TBC? Just curious. --[[User:Alcnolien|Alcnolien]]

I was wondering that myself! [[User:24.62.243.222|24.62.243.222]] 22:31, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I've added it to my buddy list. Anyone who also does so, let someone know if it's logged on to. --[[User:Alcnolien|Alcnolien]]

I've had it for quite a whiles now, and never has anyone logged into it. It is registered, so it's possible TBC registered it to prevent people from using it and then decided to never sign on with it. Same with other Characters that have shown a AIM/IM account name within toons, none of them has logged on in the past year as far as I can tell. -[[User:Mick|Mick]]

==Tagline Dates==

Are all of those taglines from 2004? I think that whoever added them in the first place, or whoever knows the correct year(s), should add them to the dates. If possible. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:27, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==.2 Homsar==

I think it's more likely Homsar is .6 of a person, and he checked it twice. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:31, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Or he could be .4 of a person, and checked it thrice! ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

With the new sbemail (the paper) Homsar has a .4 four his number. "It's dot com" seems to know a little too much... [[User:68.7.41.47|68.7.41.47]] 02:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

==Let the Good Times Role==
Strong Sads on a role this week.

Yeah whats with that twice in one week? [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 23:38, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thrice. Impressive. --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 19:24, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Whoa. It's like ThriceVille around here. I need to make up a theme song for that someday. [[User:70.59.187.173|70.59.187.173]]

== Transcript ==

Should we really have the transcript of every one of SS's entries on this page? It looks kind of cluttered and people can just go to the page itself. It's not like toons with sound, where someone might not be able to tell what they said.
:I've wondered this as well. It's not like we're transcribing something... just copy and paste. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:38, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::Also, this wiki is supposed to be a supplement to the actual site. Well, in the case of this page, I'd say it ''replaces'' the actual site. I believe this crosses the copyright-infringement line to a degree we should not be able to get away with. The final reference should always be at H*R.com, not here. (This is also why I don't think we should have the images from the [[Original Book]] and [[Where My Hat Is At?]] on the wiki. It's another case where we're completely duplicating something you should be able to see at the official site.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:44, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I agree with this, but is someone going to delete the transcript? Shall I? [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 04:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Due to the amount of time passed since I last asked, and the (seems to me) general agreement that a full transcript was not only unnecessary but legally shaky, I've gone ahead and deleted it. I hope I haven't offended anyone, and if you object, feel free to post an argument for its return here. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 21:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:My only suggestion is to remember to put something like "see talk" when you delete such a large chunk of information so that people know it's not vandalism or an accident. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== ...give me a hand?...or not. ==

I was just about to ask someone to give me a hand updating this page, because I don't have the general knowledge to fill in all the references, but I see tomstiff is already on the case. Thanks for the help!

== Bust of Bubo ==

In [[different town]], Strong Sad is going to a Clash Of The Titans convention. Strong Bad then requested a bust of Bubo. Tomstiff believes that he wanted to borrow the one Strong Sad already had; I got the impression that he wanted Strong Sad to bring something back ''from'' the convention. (Why bring this up here? It's mentioned in a Fun Fact for this article.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:20, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I have always assumed that Strong Sad wanted to borrow Bubo to augment his costume. I can see exactly what you're saying, though! Hmmmm ... -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:26, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:: Can't be - Strong '''B'''ad asks for it from Strong '''S'''ad (or, more accurately, Strong Sad asks Strong Bad if he "still wants it" and Strong Bad says "yes.") --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:29, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:: I think I see where you're coming from now, and I admit that that option never really occurred to me. Still, I think (given Strong Bad's reaction and the wording of the question) that it makes more sense as Strong Sad bringing it back from the convention. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:36, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::While the souvenir idea never occured to me, I think you're probably right. I tweaked the wording just a little to reflect that. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:09, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Live Journal ==

I just found this on the Wikipedia Homestar Runner entry. Strong Sad has a Live Journal. It's at http://www.livejournal.com/users/strongsad/ It appears to be mostly a coply of SSL, which is why I mentioned it here. Does anybody think we ought to mention it? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 05:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
:I think yes, as there are some interesting differences between the two. Try checking his profile too for some interesting related info... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::2nd. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 06:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Oh-kay, I added it as a fun fact. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 07:54, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
::::I think it's pretty awesome. My guess that this was a forerunner to Strong Sad's Lament, a sort of test before they put it into the HR domain. Purely speculation, but reasonable. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::No, the first post says that somebody reading SSL turned him on to LiveJournal, and he decided to start one for greater visibility. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 08:32, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
::::::What? It also says that the Live Journal was made in 2002. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 12:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Yup. Exactly one day after the first entry on SSL. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 06:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Upon close inspection, I think that [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Sad%27s_Lament&curid=946&diff=218816&oldid=218484 Tom may be right]. Maybe we better leave it out until we know more about it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 07:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
:Agreed. I just read it and while entertaining, it sounds like fanstuff. Besides the person spelled Coach Z's name with a hyphen. Who does that? —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 14:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I dont think that is real [[User:TwO 2 bReAdS iN a BiScUt]]

==Fair Use?==

Due to the recent conversation and activity regarding Fan Costume Commentaries, Original Book, etc, all about overstepping fair use; does this page also fall in that category? In it's current state, I'm inclined to say yes. But I'd like a bit of further input. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 09:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:Probably. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 06:55, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
::Because you can already copy&paste the text in the lament, I wouldn't mind seeing this text here being removed. Although it really would take the heart out of this article... - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Apparently this conversation has already taken place [[#Transcript|a couple of sections above]]. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} @ 23:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

:And yet it's still left transcribed... I admit I was the one that originally did it. Perhaps downgrade it to just a list of Taglines, Avatars, Summaries of his posts, etc, and note in the article summary that it's purposfully left incomplete, and that a simple click of a link will get you to all the entries. I dunno, I think it's more legal the other way, but I like having it all here too. [[Talk:Thorax Corporation|Thorax Corp]] is having similar discussions. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

==Pallor O' Mine?==

Is it noteworthy that Strong Sad refers to his own pallor two years to the day after Coach Z does in [[impression]]? He doesn't say "deathly", which may scuttle it, but if you think it works... [[User:Nyperold|Nyperold]] 19:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

== Haiku requirements. ==

I was told recently by my Japanese teacher (who is, himself a native Japanese) that along with the 5-7-5 syllable count of a haiku it also must make some seasonal reference. Is this worth noting? {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 03:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, the haiku is meant to express "the essense of nature as untouched by man" (as I recall) as opposed to senryu which has the same syllabic form but involves human nature. I suppose, after we discuss whether Strong Sad is indeed "human", we could discuss whether his "haiku" is really a "senryu". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== avatars ==

I've seen that some of the avatars on this page are converted from jpg to png, while some remain in jpg form. This seems a little inconsistant to me. Should I go ahead and change them all to pngs, or re-upload the ones that are already pngs back to the original? (except for the animated morpheus GIF, of course. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 23:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:Ideally, we should have them in their original format. All the old images can probably be found [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.homestarrunner.com/sadjournal/ here] if you feel like checking to see whether some of them are in a different format than we currently have on this page. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

::Actually, why don't you hold off before you do anything; I have [[:Image:strongsadblog poe.png|reason to believe]] there might be a reason some of them are in a different format. Maybe someone else can comment on this... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

== Radar O'Reilly ==

On [[Wikipedia:Strong Sad|Strong Sad's 'kipedia article]], someone compared his voice to a "rather deflated Radar O'Reilly." He used O'Reilly as an avatar. So, anything worth noting? --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 19:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

== I kinda can't find this one ==

<strike>I must have looked through all the archives five or more times by now and I still can't find the post where Strong Sad claims to be a nudist. What date is it from?

Regarding [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Sad%27s_Lament&curid=946&diff=430943&oldid=430924&rcid=382684 this edit], I partially disagree. While the paragraph dates make it cluttered, the Taglines dates do not detract, and not only that, many of the updates were made on Thursdays which is somewhat notable. At the very least, the months should be worded out and not abbreviated. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== Emoticons? ==

In the Fast Forward category it says that the emoticons on 'virus' are not the same as the blog.
...Yes they are. Aren't they? It says up on the emoticon list several of them with <<(on email 'virus) next to them. Is this a valid fast forward comment? --[[User:Abelhawk|Abelhawk]] 19:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
:The associated text was not the same. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

== The sungod bit ==

The whole bit about the hopi sungod...
that picture was from the inside of a tower built by the hopi native americans that's at the Grand Canyon. I saw it when visiting over thanksgiving. Shouldn't that be worth mentioning? {{unsigned|66.188.18.10|06:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)}}
:Well, I think it is! But first I'd need to find a legitimate link on it to support it. I wonder if there's one more [[pop-up#Easter Eggs|landform]] or other historical item that is a Strong sad look-alike, then we could have a new article! --[[Special:Contributions/76.224.216.122|76.224.216.122]] 19:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Why doesen't StrongS update his Blog [[User:TwO_2_bReAdS_iN_a_BiScUt]]
:TBC have more important things to do, and the fact Strong Sad's Lament is only accessible through Email 51 probably leaves them to assume not enough people read it to make it a high priority. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 22:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

== How to link songs? ==

For the past few hours I've been working on converting the Posts section into a table. However, I'm wondering if I'm linking to the artists and the songs/albums in a favorable way. Right now my method is to:
*Remove the Amazon link, if applicable.
*Look up the artist on Wikipedia.
**If a page on the artist exists, link to that page from the table.
**Otherwise, leave unlinked.
*Look up the song on Wikipedia.
**If it redirects the song to an album by the artist, link to that page from the table.
**Otherwise, in most cases leave the song unlinked (with the Poltergeist soundtrack, I just linked "Poltergeist" to Wikipedia's article on the film series).
*Repeat.
Should I continue to be Wikipedia biased, or should I link to Amazon? I feel like I'm rushing through this edit, and I want to make sure I'm doing this in an acceptable method already so I don't need to go back and correct this. --[[Special:Contributions/76.224.216.122|76.224.216.122]] 21:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I first found H*R in middle school, but I couldn't get into it, since all my dorkitude was concentrated on Neopets at the time. Now, in high school, I've got a newfound appreciation for this, the most fanglorious site on the internet. The timewaster extraordinaire. And so on.

This cartoon and its dumb animal characters... they mean so much to me. I'm expeshly thankful to TBC for introducing me to so many awesome and/or hilarious things, like [[Wikipedia:scud the disposable assassin|Scud]] and [[Wikipedia:fishing with john|Fishing With John]] and [[Wikipedia:of montreal|Of Montreal]] and adventure games in general. I never would've discovered the wonders of old Lucas Arts and Sierra games if it wasn't for Strong Bad's infectious 8-bit love. Thanks, juys. Oh, and thanks, hrwiki goblins! Nice place you got here.

Flying

Guessed — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:43:10 GMT

Guessed: added instance (not specifically referred to as flight, but pretty obviously meant to be)

[[Image:sbemail38.PNG|thumb|"That is an ugly bird."]]
Certain characters, especially [[The Cheat]], possess the unusual ability to '''fly'''.

==Appearances==
===The Cheat Flying===
*Email [[helium]] — The Cheat swallows too much helium and floats all the way to [[The Field]].
*[[Strumstar Hammer]] — The Cheat learns to fly on page 15.
*Email [[licensed]] — Ferret [[ointment]] causes The Cheat to blow up like a balloon.
*[[Where U Goin' 2?]] — The Cheat flies off of [[The Brick Wall]].

===Other Characters Flying===
*[[A Decemberween Pageant]] — In the play, [[Strong Bad]] uses a pulley to simulate the flight of [[Homestar Runner]] (who is playing the [[King of Town]]), much to the audience's delight.
*[[Main Page 15]] — [[Powered by The Cheat]] [[Strong Sad]] flies through the air if [[Store]] is selected.
*Email [[lunch special]] — [[Bubs]] claims he lost his superpower to fly after Strong Bad got him to say "Sbu" (i.e. Bubs backwards minus the B). Homestar witnesses Bubs' flight in an Easter Egg.
*[[Broken Compy Menu]] — Homestar claims [[Strong Mad]] flew away.
*Email [[dreamail]] — Visible strings help Strong Bad fly in the final scene.
*Email [[narrator]], [[Strong Badia the Free]], and [[Baddest of the Bands]] — [[Homsar]] hovers above the ground.
