'''STRONG BAD:''' There once was a man named email, and he did his best for a while.

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Strong Bad, 
So, if you're so good with the ladies, 
how come I never see you with any? The 
only female I've seen even near you is 
Marzipan, and she doesn't seem to 
like you very much. 
 
Ok, bye. 
Emily C., Ohio</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the email as "The only female I've eev see sageento—" before correcting himself. Also, he pronounces "Ohio" as "O-he-oh"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What are you talkin about, Emily? Marzipan can't keep her hands offa me! In fact, I had to change my screen name cause she was buggin me so much. ''{clears screen}'' I'd be like, tryin' to write an email like... ''{typing}'' "Dear The Cheat" ''{stops typing}'' And then ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: 'sup strong bad? i heart you so much."}'' it'd come up, and I'd be like close the window. ''{closes message, continues typing}'' "Anyways, The Cheat, I was going" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: i like all your muscles," Strong Bad closes it}'' "to ask you" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: do you go hooray 4 dolphins? i do," Strong Bad closes it}'' "if I could borrow" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: (typed in Webdings font) i seriously hope you didn't somehow decode this. it would make me real sad," Strong Bad closes it}'' "that big knife" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: are you trying to fade me?," Strong bad closes it, clears the screen, and continues typing}'' And if that's not enough proof ''{types "enüff prüf"}'', just watch this...

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan out in the field next to a sign laying against a cinder block saying '''Free Concert For Birds'''}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Oh yeah, oh yeah, and I really don't like him at all.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{Combs back "hair" and puts his comb into the back of his pants}'' Is that another song about Homestar?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, it's about you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' About being in love with me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's disgusting. And I don't like your outfit.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not telling you my new screen name.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... I don't even know what a screen name is, so there you go. And if you'd please leave now, because I'm tinkering with my guitar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, well? Say you like me.

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, leave me alone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say you like me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then do you like ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No! You're just saying your name fast. Go away.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about that guy who's brothers with Strong Mad and ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Sad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's still you! No!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how about this one? Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh... I guess...

'''STRONG BAD:''' See! I told you you loved me! Ooh! I knew it all along! Wait until my friend Emily from Ohio {pronounces it "O-hee-oh"} hears this!!! Oooh! She loves me!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Whatever... Come on Carol, let's rock.

''{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad's computer room. Three messages pop up from The Cheat:}''

'''cheatachu72:''' yo SB! you there? you still want that knife? 
'''cheatachu72:''' ello? 
'''cheatachu72:''' i gots to jet. makin' a video for a client 
'''cheatachu72 has signed off''' ''{sign off is punctuated by a vocalized imitation of AOL Instant Messenger's sign off sound}''

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you wait long enough, a message from Strong Sad will appear.
:'''depressio111117:''' vinegar toast? did you really think i'd fall for that?

*Click on "video for a client" in The Cheat's last message to see a [[Powered by The Cheat]] music video for Marzipan's song.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you! ''{Birds chirp}'' Those are the birds.

During the video, the following images flash by:
*Marzipan in a field,
*A road,
*Cup of coffee,
*Beefy arm,
*"Hello My Name Is" Tag,
*Teeth,
*Florida,
*A Shirt with a gold necklace,
*Alarm Clock.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Don't not dislike not" would mean Marzipan does like Strong Bad, by two instances of double negation.

===Trivia===
*Strong Sad's message is a reference to how [[Mike Chapman]] once tried to feed his brother [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] brownies with toothpaste in them, only to have the younger brother retaliate with vinegar toast. (From [http://www.ajc.com/living/content/living/0703/21homestar.html ajc.com interview]. Free [http://www.bugmenot.com/view.php?url=ajc.com login required].)
*When this email first came out, [[The Brothers Chaps]] registered the AIM screen name hooray4dolphins. It was always online with an away message, saying that Marzipan wasn't really using that screen name, since she doesn't use computers.
*This email marks the first time Marzipan's guitar has been referred to as [[Carol]]. Previously, the guitar had been nameless, and had an M on it instead.
*This email is the second time we see The Cheat's screen name, which is cheatachu72. This is obviously a reference to the Pokémon Pikachu, to whom The Cheat shares an incredible likeness.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says that "Marzipan can't keep her hands offa" him, which is ironic since Marzipan doesn't have any visible hands.
**Perhaps he was using the logic that she has no hands to say she can't keep her hands off of him — he seems to think ahead like that.
*In The Cheat's video, Marzipan's guitar reads "Carl" instead of "Carol".

===Goofs===
*During the conversation with Marzipan, as Strong Bad turns his head, his left eye is smaller. The same goof happens again in the beginning of [[Where's the Cheat?]], only it was the other eye.

===Glitches===
*If you turn up the contrast at the very end of the email when the IMs are on the screen, the IM boxes don't change with the rest of the screen. They just stay black.

===Inside References===
*When Marzipan IMs Strong Bad, she says "Are you trying to fade me?," which is a reference to the name of [[Coach Z]]'s new hit single, "[[These peoples try to fade me|These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]."
*Marzipan's "Free Concert for Birds" sign leans up against a cinder block, just like the [[Stop Sign|stop sign]] in [[Strongbadia]].
*The [[Big Knife|big knife]] is a reference to [[i love you]].
*The Cheat's screen name, cheatachu72, was originally seen in the email [[i she be]].
*Strong Sad's screen name is the same as his email address, as shown in [[depressio]].

===Real-World References===
*Marzipan throwing a free concert for birds may be a reference to the comic strip "Peanuts," where in one strip, Linus has a sign which reads "Free Pats" for birds.
*The IM boxes that pop up on Strong Bad's computer look like those seen in Microsoft Windows 3.X, which definitely fits with Strong Bad's computer, as the 3.X series was made for the then-state-of-the-art 386 PCs.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Oh yeah yeah|Marzipan's song]] would later be on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version contains a hidden commentary by Mike, Matt and Missy (as Marzipan). To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
**This commentary continues into the "Yeah Yeah" music video Easter egg.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''MIKE:''' Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of Marzipan, look who's here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, guys.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultanously}'' Hi 
'''MATT:''' Hi, Marzipan

'''MIKE:''' How does it feel to be featured in your very own Strong Bad email?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It feels about normal.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's got your name. It's got your name all over it.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' There it is, I'm pointing to it right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see. I, uh—I thought this was a particularly thoughtful email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, um, I thought the costume design was very good.

'''MIKE:''' There's... Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My—my outfit.

'''MIKE:''' It's the same one you're always wearing.

'''MATT:''' Well... It's a good outfit, right?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... Sometimes I change.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, OK.

'''MATT:''' Oh, an interesting note about that last one that popped up was, uh, it spelled out something, and, what was it—

'''MIKE:''' It was in, like—

'''MATT:''' —it spelled out "I really hope you didn't translate this. That would make me sad." And of course—

'''MIKE:''' And it was in, like, Webdings—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or some Dingbats or something and people translated it.

'''MATT:''' It made me really sad.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you notice you reversed my eyes on this one?

'''MATT:''' I—look, I—

'''MIKE:''' I think they are—

'''MATT:''' I don't know...

'''MIKE:''' I think we did something wrong.

'''MATT:''' But they'd be—make sense in perspective, right? The smaller eyes...

'''MIKE:''' But that wasn't why—that's not why...

'''MATT:''' She just has one—one eye smaller than the other?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, just like Strong... Just like Strong Ma—er, uh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's why I get confused later, because I can barely see Strong Bad while I'm talking to him.

'''MATT:''' Oh-ho, see Mike, it's ''your'' fault. You put her eyes on backwards.

'''MIKE:''' Wellll, uh, we'll look into that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Plus everyone forgot to bring the birds in that day, so no one showed up. There were no extras.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I don't think anyone wanted to hear your song, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Mmm, it was a pretty good song.

'''MIKE:''' How was the, uh, did you market it very much? That concert? What promoter did you use?

'''MATT:''' Pass out flyers?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' Go down to the Whole Foods.

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to realize this is all acting. You know, this is just not what I usually do.

'''MATT:''' What do you usually do?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I'm usually gardening.

'''MATT:''' So is—is the playing a guitar all just part of your character?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah. I mean, I play it sometimes, but...for this, you know. I'm—I have a much better guitar than that, usually.

''{someone laughs in the background}''

'''MATT:''' What's its name?

'''MIKE:''' Carol... Is that just a prop?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It ''is'' a prop.

'''MATT:''' What's your guitar's name?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, Joan.

'''MIKE:''' Carol and Joan, huh?

=== Easter Egg Commentary ===
'''MIKE:''' So here's your video...Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' The Cheat misspelled the name of your—your prop guitar there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he calls it Carl.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. That's OK.

'''MATT:''' Did you help, like, do the art direction on this one?

'''MIKE:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Have you ever been before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, uh, I did actually. I—I like The Cheat a lot. ''{slight pause}'' See? There was only one bird there.

=== Fun Facts ===
*[http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/ Whole Foods] is a grocery store specializing in organic food (the kind of place Marzipan would shop).

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Email, women, email, girls! Email, women, email, girls!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
My friends and I are at a volleyball 
tounament and we were wondering how 
come homestar never does anything 
funny anymore? 
 
your friend, 
Tori From VA, TX</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "tounament" as spelled, and "VA, TX" as "Virginia, and Texas. Respectively."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anymore Tori? I wasn't aware that guy did anything funny. Ever. But if you want to see Homestar so bad, why don't we check out what he's doing right now. We'll see how it measures up to say, me ''{pause}'' kicking the cheat ''{pause}'' into Strong Sad ''{pause}'' with the chicken pox.

''{The screen cuts into static, then goes to Homestar hosting his very own "The Show". With him are Pom Pom and The Poopsmith.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But it turned out I didn't die. ''{canned laughter}'' So, once again, I'd like to welcome the Poopsmith and Pom Pom onto the show. ''{canned applause}'' Gentlemen: hands on buzzers. ''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith glance at each other; there are no buzzers}'' The Poopsmith, for 500 points: Would you care to share with us some of your polictical ''[sic]'' views? ''{The Poopsmith brings out a sign that says "Hey, um, I'm gonna go now." He walks off.}'' And Pom Pom, for the block. Do you agree? ''{Pom Pom bubbles and bounces off. Canned applause.}'' All right, that's 162 points for each of you. We'll be right back with round two after these important words from these important messages.

''{A little ditty is played and a title screen is shown saying "We'll be right back." Cut to a pink screen with faded concentric circles emanating from the centre. Marshie is present.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hey guys ''{pronounced 'jies'}''! You'd best be eating a whole mess of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows! ''{Cut to a green screen where a black-and-white man is seen reading a book called "Stuffed in Each Cheek"}'' You won't think twice with a couple of them stuffed in each cheek! ''{Somebody says "boing" and the man looks shocked. Cut back to Marshie}'' They make my mornings ''{the words "SHIVER WITH FLAVOR" appear at the bottom left}'' shiver with flavor, ''{Marshie comes close-up to the screen and the words appear in front of him}'' shiver with flavor! ''{the screen reverts to Marshie alone}'' I'll say it twice! ''{cut to a mountain range, above which Marshie is seen in the sky}'' This is gettin' great! ''{"great" is reverbed. Another, larger Marshie comes across horizontally from the left, leaving a trail of pink behind him. This forms the original pink background}'' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows! ''{Marshie appears in the middle of the screen and the words "THE FIRST ONE TO EAT A MILLION, WINS." appear on the bottom}'' "The first one to eat a million, wins." ''{Marshie winks and it makes a weird squishy noise}''

''{Back to the show}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right. Welcome back to the show. ''{he pronounces it "shaow"}'' And now, I choose to recite a list. ''{pulls out some cue cards}'' Ahem. ''{words appear on screen as Homestar reads them}'' "tetherball." "Olympic race." "sparkling." "Tim Duncan." "Wisconsin." "a book of matches." "next week." "a lot of money." "witch's brew"—

''{static cuts back to Strong Bad at his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{typing}'' Problematic. You know it's been awhile since I've kicked the Cheat, but I guarantee it'd be comedic gold compared to that mish-mash. And what's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for. I can't understand a word that guy says. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways, Tori, lemme know how the volleyball tounament turns out. Touns out. Learn to spell.

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

== Easter Eggs==
*At the beginning of the show, you can click on the cards Homestar is carrying to read them.
**pom-pom = round yellow one
**poopsmith = smelly one
**homestar = you
*Click on "kicked The Cheat" to see what The Cheat and Strong Sad are doing.
**''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed covered with red bumps, presumably the chicken pox. The Cheat is in front of him. The Cheat looks around and then squeaks as if asking a question.}''
**'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know where he is. I figured it was a sure thing, too.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*If you were to eat 100 Fluffy-Puff Marshmallows every day, it would still take you more than 27 years to "win."

===Remarks===
*The table has been either replaced or expertly repaired (no cracks or seams are evident, even though it was broken in half in the [[unused emails|previous email]]).
*After the cards come up, you can still click on the cards Homestar is holding. It doesn't do anything though.
*Homestar manages to hold a microphone and flip through a set of cards simultaneously.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad actually makes two grammatical errors in his email. He doesn't put a question mark after "What's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for." He also fails to capitalize The Cheat's name in his reply.

===Inside References===
*This email contains yet another reference to "[[Witches' Brew|witch's brew]]" [sic].
*Marshie pronouncing "guys" as "jies" may be a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], in which Bubs pronounces "gold" as "jold."
*Marshie's voice echoes over the alps from [[Main_Page_2|Main Page 2]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's line "Pom Pom, for the block," is a reference to the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]]''.
*Homestar's microphone looks just like Bob Barker's microphone from ''[[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Tim Duncan|Tim Duncan]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The little jingle played before the commercial break is part of the theme song of the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Match Game|Match Game]]''.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Here's the commentary for the show email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I'm joined by none other than Homestar himself, the host of the show.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Call me Greg this time.

'''MIKE:''' Greg, uh, so tell us a little bit about yourself, Greg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Well, I'm, uh, uh, a vitamin, I lose weight, and I'm on the plank!

'''MIKE:''' Homestar here making a little less sense than usual.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I know. It's all for the DVD.

'''MIKE:''' DVD.

'''HOMESTAR:''' DVDs. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, here comes your big scene.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, why are you so, where did this show come from?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, why don't you tell us?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't... Honestly, the first time I saw this, I was flabbergasted.

'''MIKE:''' You don't, you don't remember taking part in anything like this?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I mean, I kinda do... But like, so do I have a show? In the '70s?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I don't know if it was in the '70s.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Is it a chat show, or game show?

'''MIKE:''' It looks like it's kinda maybe a little of both, but a little of neither?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah! That's the way my best shows are...right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' So why wouldn't it be that? A little bit of a chat show, maybe with a Charles Nelson Reilly...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I love my microphone. If a microphone's not tall and skinny, it's not a microphone.

'''MIKE:''' I agree.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! Who's that guy with the arms? ''{referring to the character on the "We'll Be Right Back" card}''

'''MIKE:''' He has arms.'''

''{MARSHIE appears on the screen to begin the Fluffy Puff commercial.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh no!

'''MIKE:''' It's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I love this one!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I thought you might be scared.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look out! Look out, stuffed in each—Oh no! He got it, Mike! ''{pause}'' Marshie's on point on this one. He's at the top of his game.

'''MIKE:''' Marshie's...never at the top of his game.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, clearly here. Listen, listen, listen!

''{MARSHIE's commercial finishes, and he winks producing a unique sound effect.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' How does he do that?

'''MIKE:''' He winked.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I know! If I could make my eye make that sound when I wink, I'd be like, winking all the time! They'd call me Wink Martindale.

''{Slight pause. SBEMAIL HOMESTAR reads the "Olympic race" card.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Speaking of Olympic race... ''{Pause}'' This is my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' What is this list of?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Is there a common thread—

'''HOMESTAR:''' It's, like, the Rosetta Stone. If you can figure out this list then you've got the secret to Homestar Runner.

''{Pause. The Strong Bad Email cuts back to STRONG BAD at the Compy.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Homester.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. How much longer do we have on this commentary, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' You don't think this is very funny, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do you think we should start over?

'''MIKE:''' No, we can leave it, but...I just hope it's over soon.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I think it sounds like Strong Bad's winding down.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR:''' See, he's mumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's the end. You know it's the end.

''{The Paper comes down.}''

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Geez!

Talk:Stinkoman 20X6

Ironcladlou — Tue, 05 Jul 2005 15:40:00 GMT

Ironcladlou: /* LEVEL 7 */

==The Mod==
I am surprised nobody's done this yet, I am making a mod for the game. It is called "Stickly Man Adventures." The only thing is, I can't get it to work after I export it, even though I have the object library in the same file and all that. It'll continuously repeat the loading phrase. Any ideas on how to fix this? I can send the "fla" file if you email me your email address at sportyman27@hotmail.com or sportyman27@excite.com, I can't send you the swf decompiler, because it is too big to email.(Note you'll need flash mx 2004)-Quinn

==ZSNES Project==
Would anyone be willing to convert Stinkoman 20X6 to an SMC file? I'm aware this would be a LOT of work to turn a flash game into a working SNES ROM, but it would be cool to play this on an SNES emulator and avoid some of the flash bugs (and frame lag).

==New Flash File==
[[HR:stinkogame/v3/stinkogame.swf|Clicky]]

Don't work. -Neverending Soda

:Your powers of perception astound me. I'm glad someone noticed, or everyone would be confused, thinking it worked, but not seeing the game. Perhaps you could use those powers of perception to see that this is an old post, and then see that it says "v3" in the url, but according to the [[Stinkoman 20X6#External Links|article]] it's up to v4 now. {{User:phlip/sig}} 12:31, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Extremely Slow Frame Rate==
Hi, I'm having a problem on all of the computers (3) in my house when trying to play this great game. Whenever I do anything that causes the level to scroll, the frame rate drops unbelievably low and everything becomes very slow and draggy. At the very beginning of Level 1.1 I don't have this problem for the first 2 seconds of playing (before I move far enough to make the scenery follow), and then when I come to a complete halt I can jump again without it slowing down. Anyone have a remedy for this, or are my computers just crappy?

:I have the same problem. —<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 19:53, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not convinced that this isn't intentional. It's very likely that the Brother's Chaps were trying to mimic the NES's inability to quickly draw frames. It's already obvious that this is a Mega Man clone. Maybe they're pushing it further than that. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

:I've also had a slow frame rate when walking, but it's not that bad, is it? If it is, then yes, your computer is crappy. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 19:30, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

==Like Zero Wing in 2 Ways==
This game reminds me of Zero Wing in two ways.
1. Translating errors (fake in this game, obviously)
2. Long levels with no check points. I can't get past the first level in either game. Every time you die, no matter how far you are in the level, you go back to the beginning. And you can't save in the middle either. --[[User:152.163.101.8|152.163.101.8]] 14:59, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

Actually, in Zerowing when you die, it'll bring you to a midpoint, if you've gotten that far. I've beaten the entire game so I should know. =P --nickshorts

==Man, this is ''hard''!==
Holy Crap! This game is so hard (to me) it blows my mind! Tough jumps, no checkpoints, the works! I can't even beat level 1.2! Arrrrgh! ...Whew. Glad I got that outta my system. On a lighter note, this is a great game, if not a bit hard. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]

By the way acekirby(whoever you are). I can beat 5.2 easily. All you have to do is stand on the edge and make sure NOTHING is under one foot. Then, to avoid Downtant fire, simply jump.

:Yes, yes, I've gotten there. I haven't been on the Wiki in quite some time. Currently, I've beaten all the levels, with practice. The cloud level, I thought, was easier.

I timed 139 measures of music in 5.2 a minute ago. I can't say how that compares with your score since I timed it in measures of music, not seconds. (I and noticed that I shaved about 3 measures of music taking the bottom path when the top has the huge conveyor belt, even when jumping against the belt and taking a shortcut to the bottom, and even though the bottom path has a short wait time to get the stupid platform within jumping distance. Less fall time, no ladders. I also took the bottom path when it split into four tiers - less fall time, and there's a forward-moving conveyor belt that doesn't lead to a spike along the way.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
:I cut it down to 2:02! And this time I made a bunch of silly mistakes I didn't make the first! How? Well, I played it in .swf mode and made the screen small (but still big enough that I could see it all!) Scrolling the screen in full-size mode seems to create some minor slowdown (for me), so removing that slowdown severely cut my time (I technically was still counting measures of music (116) and just did the math from there. The music's speed didn't seem to be affected no matter what I did.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:54, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
:: That's funny since I didn't even realize there was a bottom path (where that long conveyer belt is at the top path) until I just played it through again. The bottom choice later on (the 4 level option) is the one I take, since it can be very quick. You don't even need to stop if you time it right (don't stop for the bendini sister, just jump at the right time and it'll go right behind you). I managed to do <strike>1:43</strike> <strike>1:39</strike> 1:37, but that was just a quick try. I guess it's easier when you're focusing on one section without having to worry about the next.
: I'm still surprised you find the lower path quicker than the long conveyer belt. You are jumping across the belt and then taking a long jump past the Piedmonts (I think that's what they're called, anyway) instead of "facing" them, right? You should be able to go non-stop past the whole section which makes it very quick.
:: To take the top path, you have to climb up a ladder, which takes time (especially with 1-Up's lousy climbing skills. Then, you have to jump against the conveyor belt, and if the little shield guys are placed wrong, you have to spend extra effort dodging them. Yes, I jump/fall past the Piedmonts, but it doesn't save as much time as you might think. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::: I wish I could somehow record this and show you how I play through the level. There are very few places where I have to stop. Specifically, by the time I reach the long conveyer belt (I don't know if timing plays into it at all), the "little shield guys" are always placed perfectly so I don't have to really bother dodging them. Just continuous jumping. Taking the bottom path I have to stop and wait and, surprisingly, that area is really tough for me.
:::: "CamStudio" is good, if you can find it... I think it got bought out by Macromedia and you have to pay for it now. I still have the free version though and the EULA doesn't say anything about the company collapsing so I think it's still legal for me to give it to you... just say the word if you want it. {{User:phlip/sig}} 23:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Am I the only one... ==

...who can't get the plain .SWF working? I can play the game (beat it not too long ago, good game, can't wait for the expansion packs-of-sorts), but only using the standard link. I can't play it online or offline using just the .SWF file. Firefox stays perpetually on "Load it up". IE6 gets farther than that, as it goes to a black screen after that and never gets out. So... anyone else? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 19:26, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I couldn't get the .swf file loading on my computer. It would just stay a blank black screen. The regular game worked fine, though. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:15, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think I know why it won't work offline: The game is so big it depends on multiple files to play, like the object library. I've been trying to find out names for single levels. So far, no luck. [[User:unknown|unknown]]
:Read the topic in this page with "XML" as its header. It has links to all the levels (save 4.x). Just slap 'em in a folder called "levelData" in the same directory as the game itself, and it SHOULD work. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 22:33, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Same here, I was listening to it whilst working on assignments, but I found that if you open up the game and start, leave it for about half an hour without doing anything, the music just stops and doesn't come back unless you lose a life. [[User:M.J|M.J]]

The first level's music is top-notch if extremely Sonic. Not as good as Duck Guardian, mind.

At the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]] they showed an awesome demo to this, and as I recall, I think the sporks from 2.2 were originally in 1.1 and 1.2. The first two levels that TBC made were 1.1 and 3.1.--[[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 21:28, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Capsules ==

*The health-restoring pills are a reference to the Strong Bad E-Mail time capsule.
** They are also a reference to the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu, where you can get similar capsules to change your ship.

Tons of games have capsules and it's doubtful this is an inside reference. Didn't the original Megaman hae capsules? Granted they looked different, but I don't think this is a reference to [[time capsule]], and I think it's a coincidence that the games menu also has capsules. What's next, someone chimes in with "It may be a reference to Dr. Mario"? Sorry, I'm over-analytical so I'll keep it since others may not agree with me on this. If anyone else does though, maybe we should take this to [[STUFF]]. --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 23:07, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

*** The NES Mega Man games had no such things... I don't think it's a Dr. Mario reference either, considering the Doc isn't too "retro". I think it's more likely a "time capsule" reference...

:Although I'm not sure about the games menu reference anymore, I do believe it's a reference to time capsule because:
*They are identical looking
*In time capsule, the pill gave him an energy boost.

I'm pretty confident that it's a [[time capsule]] reference myself. It DOES look exactly the same, and Stinkoman interacted with that capsule too. Don't name individual video games, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:13, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== About the Gas stoves... ==

What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. Any oil lamps in Free Country? well, I just thought it necessary to comment. Thanks for reading it.

--[[User:geoguy91|geoguy91]] 00:43, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

--[[User:68.253.238.103|68.253.238.103]] 01:20, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Glitch ==

[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|220px|Stinkoman stand on air!]]
I found a little glitch in the game, just wanted to share :)
It's in Level 1.1, you'll probably recognize the spot. I'm guessing the box for the ledge on the right side passes through the wall.
*Looks like it. I've noticed that before. Looks pretty funny actually.
*Well, its because stinkoman is actually standing on the land on the other side because on these games you can stand with one pixel of the shoe on the land and the rest in the air. Try it on other lands.

*Hey, the game is now apparently v1.2 I think this glitch has been fixed.
::Nope, it's still there. I don't think they'll bother fixing it, it doesn't make any real difference IMO.
*This is so stupid! I got all the way to level 2.2, and got stuck in that place you can't escape (I never died out), so I refreshed the page, and I looked at the continue button, only to find it didn't work! I am so fed up with this! Someone better find some way to fix this, 'cause I'm not playiong through all that again! Stinkoman moves way too slow to have to go through that excruciatingly tempoed sidescrolling nightmare again! Can someone please fix this, or find a solution, that doesn't make you have to play the game all over again? Much thanks in advance.
**You must have a slow computer, no name. The game isn't really as annoying on fast ones, where it goes smooth. Anyway, I have no idea what place you are talking about.

[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

-As a note for other people wanting to edit, you need to get the 5 level files, the main swf, and the object library: [http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/objectLibrary.swf]. (You can see some game graphics if you view that file)

On XP it's the C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\<randomID>\www.homestarrunner.com\stinkogame\stinkogame.swf\stinkoman.sol file.
I haven't checked, but I imagine on 9x/ME it's in the C:\Windows\Application Data\... folder.
No idea on other OSes. [[User:Travis Wells|Travis Wells]]

== <s>Level 3.1</s> Level 3.2 -- HOW!? ==

How do you beat level 3.1? Do you have to collect some fixed amount of gold or wait a certan amount of time? I can't beat it!
:Collect 20 pieces of gold from the rain drops. I believe it tells you that when you start the level. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:22, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
::Oops, I didn't read that. Well I got to 3.2, but now I can't get more than 4. Every freakin' piece of bread is surrounded by like 50 other things. Plus, there's one piece every like 50 screens.
:::You have to collect 10 pieces of bread, and each bad item deletes a bread you got. That's really all there is to it. A good idea is to just avoid everything until you reach a bread all by itself. It's not really as hard as you say. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:08, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
:::::Little tip; Bread usually come in clusters. if you hang in one spot and dodge all the bad things, you can get about 2 breads.

== Proofs of more levels ==

Is anyone else really annoyed by all the fun facts in the "Remarks" section that say "This is shown in the game so it means there will be more levels"? I'm not going to get RID of them, because they are true, but it seems pretty obvious by the MORE LEVELS SOON screen that there will be more levels. We don't need any other worthless proof. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:22, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Do you have to beat the game to get that screen? 'Cause many haven't beat'd it yet.
:Yes, but it's in the section anyway. Or at least it should be. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:54, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Low Quality...! ==

Hey...I just noticed something...the game is initially set to low quality. If you make it better, it just looks more blurry. --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 18:46, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Yeah, they always make the games with a classic look. Sometimes loads faster that way. --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

== Is no good for you ==

I think the 'Don't drink, is no good for you' is a reference Tuco's line in 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.
*I think more likely it's a reference to the "don't do drugs" messages a lot of arcade games used to have (still have?)--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 18:35, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**Yep, they still have them. --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 11:24, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Doesn't work on OS X? ==

I simply cannot get the game to work here on OS X. I've tried different browsers, HTML and SWF, visiting mirror sites -- every time the same thing happens: when I click new game and get past the little startup movie to the part where the character appears on the screen, I simply cannot get Stinkoman to move. None of the keys seem to work. He just stays there and waits. Any ideas? The keyboard works in all the other games. [[User:AaronSw|AaronSw]] 23:55, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

:[http://macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash Do you have the latest version of flash?] --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

::Yes.

:If you don't click on the actual flash file (example: clicking around the actual game) will make it so the game doesn't respond to your commands. Click the game to see. --[[User:Gooblies|Gooblies]] 20:17, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

== Add an article on custom levels? ==

I think we should have an article on it, and provide external links to all levels people have made. Who thinks this is a good idea? -- [[User:nintendorulez|nintendorulez]] 14:33, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I think that's what Fanstuff's for. Not that I know for sure, I've only messed with the main Wiki. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:05, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Yes, that is what Fanstuff wiki is for. That's the whole reason it was created- fan material. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

:But an article about level editing might be okay. --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

== Current Level Editing Status ==

Has anyone made anymore headway into level editing? I've got the whole thing working locally, and can even edit the XML files to make simple changes, however I do not have the time nor experience to make a level editor.

Additionally, in the XML files, the <D> field seems to just be an object count, but what could <sT> be?

I think some serious inspection of the SWF file and the code is needed before we can do full-featured levels. especially for cT types.

Also trying to figure out how to launch the level editor - I see the entire class. Is there a Flash debugger where I can call a function/object at will?

:I just finished a level editor, after all kind'sa studying that <sT> stuff. I'll try to get it out soon. [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

I already have a great working editor for this game. I had it finished a week after Stinkoman first came out. A new version has just been released. Check it out here: http://www.geocities.com/joesarcade/stinkoman.zip or here: http://joesarcade.hopto.org:8093/stinkoman.zip

*The cutscenes don't work... And you can't create a dumb wall level. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 08:48, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
*But how COULD you create a Dumb Wall level? This thing is great. I already have an evil, evil replacement for 1.1 and part of a 4.1 replacement (1-Up is placed automatically.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:24, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

I didn't include the cutscenes in the package because you don't need them to make levels. If you want to watch the cutscenes, play the real game.

== Fading Blue Boxes ==
I didn't want to post this in the article, but I don't think Flash would generate those fading blue boxes. I um, really don't see how. Besides, how would there be such oddly shaped boxes? I thought it was just a Nintendo thingy.

It was a reference to Nintendo games that left those artifacts. --[[User:ackicantthinkofaname|ackicantthinkofaname]]

== Article on custom levels ==
I made one where you can put the code for your custom level [[HRFWiki:Stinkoman 20X6 - CUSTOM LEVELS|here]] on the fanstuff wiki. Should I put a link to it on the Stinkoman 20X6 page? --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 16:29, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
:I don't think so as of yet. If levels are added and stuff, and a tutorial on how to do make a level, then sure. But that's my opinion. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 18:46, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

== When you see a boss... ==

When a boss comes up on the screen, some voice shouts something. Do you know it says?

Catsmeat

Something on the lines of "Are you asking for a challenge?" You could have found that out on the walkthrough. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:49, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

Yeah.. That's Stinkoman.

In level 5 it's "I want to be the guy too!", though. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 10:43, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== Tonberry reference? ==

In the manual entry for "pooru-pooru", it states, "Land on one and it's DOINK for you!"
I swear this is a reference to Tonberrys from the Final Fantasy series. Can anyone confirm this?
--Bdragon

Doink is a sound word. It's just another case of <strike>ottomatopeia</strike> <strike>otamatapia</strike> <strike>otttamadapeia</strike> I can't spell it, whatever it is. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 21:16, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== Declined Fun Facts ==

These Fun Facts were on STUFF and declined. If you want to discuss these facts, please make sure your votes are seperate from the original ones.

====Stlunko====
Stlunko, the world 3 boss, could very well be modeled after...
* ...the final boss in the ''Donkey Kong'' game for Game Boy, in which you fight a giant version of Donkey Kong who uses two hands to smash you in a manner very similar to Stlunko.
* ...Gamma from ''Mega Man 3''.
* ...Rudy, the final boss of ''Wario Land 3''.
* ...Kerozene, a boss added to the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
*'''Decline.''' If this isn't a TTATOT, I don't know what is. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:19, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:11, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''', you're not trying hard enough - I'm sure you could think of lots more bosses that involve fists somehow if you tried... --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 20:29, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I usually like these kind of Fun Facts, but it sounds like you're just not trying here. Pick one. [[User:TakuaKaita600|TK600]] 20:08, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
***Well, if '''I''' had to pick one, I'd definitely pick the first one; it's what the original one stated, and mentioning only that wouldn't be such a TTATOT. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 02:23, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
====Rose Blake====
When SB says "rose face" in #125, it sounds slightly like "rose blake" in stinkoman game.

*'''Double Decliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiined!''' Seriously, can we stop stretching Fun Facts as far as they can possibly be stretched? --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Gimme a D-cline.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
====Black Spots====
Stinkoman doesn't have any black spots on his cheeks for the ripped off sprites

*'''Decline''' Maybe if I understood what this was saying I might like it more, but it still doesn't seem right. What do you guys think? -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:32, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declininated''' I don't get it. [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 17:10, 19 Apr 2005
*'''Allow me''' I THINK what is being said is this:
The black portion of Stinkoman's mask is missing in his sprite form, because
it is a ripoff of Megaman sprites.
*However, this is pretty useless AND false (it's not a ripoff of Megaman sprites, just strongly based on them.) Most old, small sprites lack detail seen in their fully-drawn form. So I must concur with '''Decline'''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*And you can't see Mario's nostrils in Super Mario Bros. So? '''Let's Declining Love''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 23:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a Decline?!?''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 00:30, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' If you look at the bottom of Stinkoman's white area you can see little black lines so this 'fact' is false [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
====Tampo====
The name Tampo may be a reference to a Japanese kind of fried food (Tempura). Or even Tempo, the speed of music.

*'''Decline'''This is very doubtful. Tempura is a big stretch, sure the manual says Tampo is as mean as he is delicious, but that hardly connects Tampo and tempura. And ''tempo''?? Tampo has nothing to do with tempo or even anything musical. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
** '''Comment''' Well, it IS a Mega Man parody, and many Mega Man characters are named for musical terms (Rock & Roll, Blues [in Japan], Bass, Treble, Forte [in Japan], Gospel [in Japan], Rush, Tango, Beat, Punk, Enka/Enker, Quint, Ballad(e), Duo... and I'm probably forgetting a few.) Of course, that doesn't automatically mean that Tampo was named for the term "tempo" - it probably wasn't - but it's not outside the realm of possibility. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***'''Decline''' The creators of Megaman had music in mind when they made the character. They said so. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 06:03, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Big stretch in both cases. And a '''Comment''' to [[User:Ogog|Ogog]], make sure that your comments are bulleted and that you show your vote as Accept or Decline. Also, make sure you remove the STUFF'd item when you put it on this page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Er, the vote, that is. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:44, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Sleckhund.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:24, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Er...''' The meaning of Tempo might be he is going faster.
*'''Comment''' Or it could also be a reference to tampons... Um, actually, no, forget that I said that.

Dude, Whomever thought of ths had no idea of an alternative. Maybe it's a bad translation. Or he isn't very mean and also doesn't taste very good.

====Brody====
Brody looks similar to Big Bird from Sesame Street.

*'''Decline'''Aside from Brody's legs and coloring, this isn't true. And the legs and coloring don't hold much water on their own, seeing as how: A. Birds' legs look something like that and are often illustrated that way. B. Every other chicken in Level 2 is colored yellow, and chickens are often illustrated to be yellow anyway. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:35, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:09, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
====Engrish====
The creators of Stinkoman 20X6 are poking fun at the 'all your base are belong to us' type language goofs in the stereotypical English port of a Japanese game.

*'''Decline'''There is absolutely no need to point this out. Yet another fun fact that's too obvious. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Weak Accept''' I do agree that is kind of obvious, but this does constitute a valid reference. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''; noted at the top of the page. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:43, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Stone Fist====
When you beat the final boss, Stinkoman says he got a power-up and puts on the stone fist, showing an almost 100% chance for more levels!

*'''Decline'''Same as the "More Levels" fun fact listed above. Obvious and not noteworthy as a fun fact. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Accept''' Same as my comment above - since the game has no Transcript, it's useful as a fact. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. This doesn't show that there will be new levels. That's what the screen AFTER the cutscene's for. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:41, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept!''' [[User:http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Extremejon|Extremejon]]
*I'm wearing clothes, does that mean for sure I'm going out? '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:33, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Well that depends. If you're wearing clothes that are made of magnetic material with a strong attraction to a magnetic field just outside an open window that you're standing next to, then it might be safe to assume that you're going out.
*'''Decline''' Now noted in the walkthrough transcript --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:59, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Second''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 06:43, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' I think it is pretty much already stated. --[[User: Lappy 486]]
**And now that more levels are actually coming out, saying more levels will come out is completely useless. [[user: lappy 486]]
*'''Decline''' Now that a new level using the stone fist has been released, this is utterly useless. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:06, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
====Control Scheme====
The poor control scheme (a to jump, s to fire) may be another Mega Man reference, this time to the Mega Man Anniversary Collection which included Mega Man 1-8. On the Gamecube version, the controls for fire and jump were also messed up. (a to fire, b to jump) This eventually ended up with many frusterated gamers who intented to jump over a bottomless pit, but instead fired their plasma buster instead.
*'''Decline'''. This has got to be a joke. Poor control scheme? Tons of computer games use cursor keys as directions and a and s as action buttons. Also it is not uncommon to see the action buttons in the same order, with jump on the left and attack on the right. Additionally, many gamers choose a and s as their main buttons when setting up games and emulators and have no joypad. I'm sorry for whoever got burned by Mega Man, but this really isn't the place for it. -[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 11:52, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:MZilla|MZilla]] 23:18, 22 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline'''. The control scheme for Stinkoman 20X6. Whoever wrote this was probably mad at MMAC and just wanted to get it out of his system. I really don't see what the problem is. I have that game, and in a few minutes I was fully adapted to the weirdish control scheme, no problem. -[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:21, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. I, too, have that game, and it came almost second nature. It's not a "poor" control sceme. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:41, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''', mostly because it's irrelevant (although I DID hate that reversed control scheme in ''MMAC''...). --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:39, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second and a comment'''. Hey, the Jump-with-B, Shoot-with-A scheme worked for Metroid Prime, why not MMAC? :P Hehe, oh well. :) -[[User:JakeARoonie|JakeARoonie]] 16:28, 02 Apr 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline''' This is waaay too big of a stretch. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:26, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline w/Comment''' I've been playing MMAC on the Gamecube recently. The button layout is not that convoluted at all - once you get used to it, it's second-nature. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' I didn't think that MMAC or Stinkoman 20X6's control schemes were "poor". Sorry you got frustrated, but looking here, the majority didn't. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 14:01, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' As a video game lover, I've gotta say that I am pretty used to using the right-most button to jump and the left-most button to fire. Just water this fact down a bit. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]
*'''Declorne''' Uh... so? [[User:SP|SP]]

====Stoves====
Planet K is in the Year 20X6, where gas stoves would have gone out of everyday life, yet some can be seen in stage 2.

*'''Decline'''To quote geoguy: What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline''' This is quite presumptuous - how do we know that gas stoves would have become osbolete? --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' maybe 20x6 is 2006... ever thought of that, smart guy? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:32, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Assumption! 20X6 can be anything from 2006-2096, and I hardly think gas will run out before next year. Though the 20X6 world looks much more futuristic, it's not proven that gas runs out in the Homestar Universe, like Ogog said. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 19:28, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment''' 20x6 could also be 20106. Maybe by that time more oil will be found.
***'''Response.''' 20x6 is NOT 20106. I've always found the "x" to mean that it's a wildcard, meaning it could be 2006, 2016, 2026, etc. - as in [[time capsule]], it's highly unlikely that a Number One Jam cassette or a gross old wig in a time capsule wouldn't have decomposed in 18,000 years. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
****Actually, its very likely since plastic, and many fabrics dont decompose at all. The magnetic tape in the casette might have decomposed but that wouldnt have mattered because Stinkoman ate the casette, not played it.--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 23:40, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***But doesnt a Capital X mean the greek number for 10, and a miniscule x stand for a variable? --[[User:-erson|-erson]] 18:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
****A capital X signifies a ''Roman'' numeral 10. And variables are ''usually'' lowercase, but if you don't have a character set with upper- and lowercase letters (like most old video games), then you just have to make do with what you got. (See also [[Rabbit Algebra]], which seems to mix the two.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*I wouldn't even want him in the game. I love the new level, though. Great difficulty. Too bad I beat it in a few minutes. No new power up?? Then they could have at least let me keep that fist... [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:28, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*It looks like the "barking" sound that 1-UP makes in the level 2 cutscene (following the level 1 boss) has been removed. It's present in the level 4 cutscene (following the 3 boss), though. Bug?

*When you get to a boss level, and loose a life, is it just me or does the floor disappear in later lives (and hence you fall through and loose immediately)?

*New levels...'''YET AGAIN!''' Man, TBC are just cranking out the levels now! It's great! ...but I can't beat level 5.2... --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 20:28, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

==Level 6==
*I wonder what level 6 will be like. I know you control stinkoman again, but any other ideas about it? --[[User:Gooblies|Gooblies]] 01:43, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
**Maybe it will be where the final boss is the silloute dingie. --[[User:Gooblies|Gooblies]] 01:44, 13 May 2005 (UTC) again
*It will most likely have a cloud-like design, because several of the next, unseen platforms and hazards have a cloud-theme. (I know this by working with an editor) -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 01:46, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
* Or maybe and ice world, almost every video game has fire and ice levels. [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
** There probably will be an ice level (Level 4 counts as a fire level), but it won't be level 6, which is almost definately going to be in the clouds: [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=104724#104724] --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 14:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
*Maybe 1-up has to get back from the moon via space station, or to make it even more fantastic, he has to bomb a Death Star maybe. Or... Pan Pan has been sold to bounty hunters and you have to get him back...[[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]] 15:46, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

*We shall soon see, I went to play Stinkoman just now and it wouldn't load, but the address bar said it was version 4. You know what that means; update, more levels, WOO!

Oh and I realize level 4 was a fire board, I not that dumb.[[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
*It's already up, though I didn't notice it on the main page. And let me tell you: 6.1 wasn't that bad, but 6.2 is EVIL INCARNATE! Those stupid rising-and-lowering electrical outlet things almost never fail to take one or two units of life from me each, there's precarious jumping everywhere, and so far, I've only found one Power Crunch - pretty far in, too (though not as hard to grab as it looks.) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 18:26, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
** Urgh. Finally made it to the boss - with two units of energy left and no reserve lives. It's a tornado with glasses, BTW (don't know its name because I can't get the Episode 6 portion of the Stinkomanuel to load. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 18:38, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
** The boss is evil too. Finally made it with three lives, but it didn't help (thanks to the lack of checkpoints and the ability to start at any reached non-boss level, I learned that there's no reason not to restart when you lose one life in a stage - except that it takes a little bit longer.) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 18:47, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*** The boss has a pretty predictable pattern, so he's pretty easy to beat. The only problem is that he takes so many hits to kill that if you make a few stupid mistakes, you're screwed.
*The one thing that really got me on this one was level 6.2's ending. Level 5.2 was hard enough with the several Downtants, but the platform that you need to reach in order to beat 6.2 was unbelievably difficult. If you didn't time it just right, you were dead. It took me several tries to get it. I didn't find anything else so difficult about level 6.2, I was able to get to the end-area with 3 lives and full health usually, after all the losses on the end platform. In the end I finally beat it. But then again, level 7 won't be any easier... unless it's something like level 3. --SBEmail22
*Level 6 was ridiculously easy. It was really rather anticlimatic after level 5 was so hard. I spent days on level 5. Level 6 took 15 minutes.
*This is one of the hardest videogame boards I have ever played. Level 6 is almost unbeatable, kudos to TBC for giving this video game nut a good challenge (pardon the pun) [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]
*The lack of checkpoints '''kill''' me in this game! I always get to the last two disintegrating clouds (on level 6.2) and then jump, but the freakin' up-down bar crap drops! AGH! I can even see the * Flag! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 18:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Tip: In order to finish level 6.2, you need to jump onto the clouds when the trap is down. Once you reach the platform, immediately jump. THis will make you reach the flag platform. Maestro-not logged in

== Did Anyone Else Get This Glitch? ==

So I'm playing through my favoriate scene 2.2, and I get to 2.3, mr. big bird starts attacking.
Its 11:19PM and I don't care, so I let myself die... Bird's feet weaken me to my last power-up, then the beak attack does me in... I have 2 mans left, but the return of the challenge hasn't a floor... I fall to my doom... and it repeats... V.3 of the game... What's up with this?

* Happened to me, too, in both V3 and 4. Same thing happens with level 1's boss fight. No idea why. It worked fine in earlier versions. Happens with both locally-saved and website copies, in Firefox and IE (same plugin, so that's not surprising). --[[User:The Archon|The Archon]] 23:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== Shadowy Figure Revealed! ==

At the end of the boss battle in 5.2 take a chose look at the mysterious figure. He has a perfectly round head with a what looks like a baseball cap. Which makes him 20X6 Coach Z.

Mystery solved.

Whoa... Couch Z! You sit on him and watch your old Star Wars movies! Hey look! I found a quarter! [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]

*I fixed the spelling, you know there are nicer ways to tell someone they made a mistake.

I knew it all along. Seriously, that was quite obvious. I think his name is Coach X. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 19:19, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree, I also do know he will be found by who I call "Cheat-o-oki". Too obvious... [[user:Mr.NiceGuy|Mr.NiceGuy]]

== Don't read this if you like the game ==

I don't want to start a flame war (even though I probably will), but I just have to say that I'm really starting to hate this game. Aside from being pointlessly difficult, it doesn't really capture the fun that Megaman (and games of that era) had. For one, Megaman was about killing enemies with cool weapons, not hopping around on platforms and avoiding indestructible saw blades. Sure, Megaman had that, but it was never the case that the best strategy was to avoid enemies (which seems to be the case in Stinkoman). And what's up with the fact that you inevitably have to go completely out of your way in order to get a power pill, which means that after you're done backtracking your power is most likely right back where you started. The storyline is completely flat, and seems to revolve around the characters sitting at home, and then leaving home to go somewhere, and just generally ignoring the storyline. It's probably just me, but after suffering though 6.1 I have no desire to continue on to 6.2. Granted, they're working with limited media, but still... [[User:24.239.141.162|24.239.141.162]] 22:41, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm with you on the difficulty, brother. I don't see anything else wrong with the game. But that's just Videlectrix.

Oh, wait, did I mention Edsmilde has a level editor so that you can make it easier or so? It might help. -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 22:46, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that's the point. Not to make it a "cool" game, but to make it funny, like everything else on the website. [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 22:54, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
:But.. It would be funnier if it was only one level and you didn't have to play through it... like Super Kingio Bros. [[User:24.239.141.162|24.239.141.162]] 23:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, but that would suck. At least this one is a real game. [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 23:32, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

If it wasn't too much of a hassle (since a lot of the difficulty has to do with jumping), it would be nice to have different difficulty levels. As it stands, this game is too ''easy'' for me, but I know people who have trouble with the first level. I guess it just depends on what you're into... I happen to love the game (as much as one can love a game, anyway).

== Object Library Links ==

Is there any point to having the object library links (cutsceneds/xml/etc) at the bottom of the page? I saw that Philip added them there in the last few days, and I'm wondering what the point is....you can't do anything with them really. (Unless i'm missing the point) Should we remove the links? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 14:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not entirely sure whether to remove them or not. They can be used to mod the game, and I guess he thought that only a few people could find them in my post in the [[Talk:Stinkoman 20X6#XML|XML]] section. I'll leave 'em for now, and see if anyone else has any opinions on this. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:14, 18 May 2005 (BST)

:Well I figured we link to things like the virus'd Sketchbook and such in [[virus]], so I may as well put all those links there. Besides, my reasoning was that this is a wiki - if it shouldn't be there then someone will remove it. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 04:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

::Someone has. Unfortunately, it was Trogga, and he has a reputation for cleaning a ''little'' too much up, as seen in this edit [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Sightings&diff=78777&oldid=78657 here]. No one else seemed to have any opinion about this, so add 'em back if you want. I think I'll put them on my user page actually, to preserve the links. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 19:44, 23 May 2005 (BST)

== Quick Tidbit For Level 6.2 ==

Lets say you make it all the way to the bluetant and 3-prong... near the end...
choice a) go up and avoid two 3-prongs, then dodge ligtning & two saws...
choice b) kill the bluetant, manage up some difficult evaporating clouds, face a bluetant, lightning & two 3-prongs as if you made it past choice a.

Tidbit: if you're any good at this level, and you can make it up choice A unscratched... then do not kill the power-crunch bluetant (or if you do, then don't get the power crunch)... go up choice A, make it to the bluetant... if you kill the bluetant, unharmed, then awesome! Only two lightning bolts and two 3-prongs to go!!! However, if you want to beat the boss, you'll need all your life... say you make a mistake and lose two lives...

backtrack to where choice Bbrings you... right before the 2 bolts and prongs... go down the clouds, and you'll have a powercrunch awaiting for you... then go back up the EVs, because that's the easiest, least deadly... you don't have to worry about that bluetant, and just go through the bolts and prongs again... do it good, full life... beat the boss... kick the mouse... and see the same TV that Stinkoman has...

yeah how to do it:
1) the cloud starts coming at you, when he does it, and on his first land, run imeediately to teh first place he lands for what reason you ask:? so when hekeeps going you can shoot him, only shoot at his sun glasses , its seeming to be the only place that harms him, keep this up, You will then have some lightning shoot after the 2nd time, run just one distance away from the edge of the screen ( so the tornado doesnt get two shots on you )whichever closer to avoid it. Now if you keep this up for three times, the tornado will shoot around 5, just stay close to him to avoid them. then run away , say to the left, and he will land one place, run to that spot and keep on shooting. I just developed this strategy, and woudl you believe it, a Mouse.. a mouse was causing all of that - thats got you wanting to play even more to see if im telling the truth!

== Trolling ==

Someone (looged out at the time) did tons of trolling on this page. I fixed it now, but a list of what they did can be found [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Stinkoman_20X6&curid=5991&diff=87772&oldid=87769 here]. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 01:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

:Go report it at [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]] --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 01:46, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, of course. Thank you. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 01:48, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== Looooooong Fall ==

The reason there is a looooooooong fall on level 2.2 is that you keep climbing up and up yet brody is on the kitchen floor. This won't work in level 6, provided with the fact all clouds look the same, not like the kitchen counters.-Amy Whifflepoof

== Magic Pockets? ==

Did anybody else think that the level 6 boss was reminiscent of the game Magic Pockets? The boss is a giant whirlwind that bounces and shoots bubbles from its top. In the first stage of Magic Pockets, the character attacks by throwing whirlwinds that bounce. If the fire button is held long enough, the whirlwinds are large and spit smaller whirlwinds from their tops. (There might be a powerup needed as well, I'll check up on it)

That sounds great, but the tornado reminds me of the mouse with sunglasses boss in super mario advance who throws bob-ombs at you. Um.. it's probably a Magic Pockets ref, though......

Quoting from the page "Liekand could be a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2 where the boss of the 4th level was a flame wearing sunglasses called "Fryguy", along with the fat mouse refering to the first boss, "Mouser". The bubble sprite used for Liekand's attack looks like the same sprite used for Wart's attack in Super Mario Bros. 2.". It seems like the character's drawing on multiple references already. Being a newbie, I'm unsure about the procedure for adding mine (there doesn't seem to be a Stinkoman 20X6 category on STUFF,for example).--[[User:Electric Monkey|Electric Monkey]] 21:42, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I'm not sure how I'd vote on it, but there IS a Stinkoman 20x6 section on [[STUFF]] - or, at least, there used to be if there isn't now. It's under "Games". If it doesn't exist, feel free to add it if you want to STUFF a fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:47, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Powercrunch? ==

I think we should change all the "Powercrunches" into "capsules". In the email, the red and white thing was a capsule, and the powercrunch was the tape. When 1-up takes Stinkoman's powercrunch in the game, it is also a tape. --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 16:01, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I disagree, they're two different things, with two different usages, the capsule is for restoring health, and you can ask Joshua about what the power crunch does... --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 15:47, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that's what I was trying to say. The Enemies list and walkthroughs have the capsules listed as powersrunches. I think we should change those so they say capsules. --[[User:68.236.19.26|68.236.19.26]] 15:56, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think you have a point. I don't believe that the capsules are ever called power crunches, but the tape definately is. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, this has been up for two weeks, and no one seems against it, so I guess I'll just change them. --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 13:12, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Bread and Clowder? ==

When I beat level 3.1, (and this was normal, by the way) on level 3.2, I saw a clowder! I don't get it. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]

== LEVEL 7 ==

Level seven is freaking hard i can't even get passed 7.1.:(

:''{The Sneak scurries off}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When old-timey Strong Bad responds to the guy in the Easter egg, he calls him a "carpet bagger." A carpet bagger is actually a post-Civil War term for a Northerner moving to the South after the war to get rich or gain power.
*When Strong Bad says "I'll leave the key under the at-may," he is speaking pig Latin. At-may would mean mat.

===Trivia===
*This is one of the few e-mails where one of the characters touches [[The Paper]].
*The title of the page may be a reference to the phrase "Lordy, Lordy! Look who's forty!" which is usually used on someone's 40th birthday, even though this is Strong Bad's 50th email.
*This is one of few e-mails where the paper actually comes down twice.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad is talking to a potential customer about "[[Soolnds|elephant feet]]". Apparently he plans to sell Strong Sad's legs on the black market, or something. (Or have him assassinated; See [[fingers]]. ) This makes sense in the context of the previous email asking him what his favorite leg is.
*It is strange that Homestar calls the computer screen a "TV [that] has words on it," yet he immediately knows he can type a response to the e-mail.
*This is the first email in which we see the "DELETED" screen on the Compy. The background is blue, whereas it was green on the Tandy.

===Glitches===
*When you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
*When Strong bad says 'Matt' while typing 'DELETED', his reflection appears above the Compy for a moment.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad starts by saying "ready, go!" This is a reference to [[spring cleaning]], when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
*When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to [[tape-leg]], one of his past emails, and represents yet another [[Tape leg|inside joke]] of the Homestarverse.
* The phrase "The system is down" is from [[techno]].
* Email #2 spells Strong as Stong, just as Strong Bad does when imitating a random email in the fourth postcard in [[vacation]].

===Real-World References===
*When Strong Bad talks about the Great Leg and the Leg of Hope, he may be referring to the SNES RPG Secret of Mana. You can upgrade the Great Bow into the Bow of Hope.
**The leg of hope is also a lyric in the song [http://www.twin-music.com/lyrics_file/vf/vio/add.html Add It Up] by the [http://www.vfemmes.com/default.htm Violent Femmes].
*The blue "[[Flagrant System Error|Flagrant Error]]" screen is a spoof of similarly vague system errors ("performed an illegal operation"), such as the Windows 9x [[Wikipedia:BSOD|blue screen of death]].

===Homestar's attempts at [[DELETED]]===
*Baleeted
*Delteated
*Deltaco
*freaky D'td
*chadeated

*Some of the commands Homestar tries are references. Some are more obvious than others:
**'del monte' — A popular brand of fruit juice.
**'beefeated' — 'Beefeaters' is a nickname for the Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London. There is also a 'Beefeaters' London Dry Gin sold in most liquor stores.
**'meathead?' — This is probably referring to a catch phrase from the sitcom 'All in the Family' in which Archie Bunker called his son-in-law Mike 'Meathead.'
**'stratego' — Stratego is a board game.
**'open sesame' — Famous words from the tale 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves'.
**'de la soul' — De La Soul is a hip-hop group made of Posdnous, Trugoy, and P.A. Mase. They are best known for their groundbreaking 1989 album "3 Feet High and Rising".
**'3-D Movie' — could be a reference to the very fun, but overlooked PC game, Microsoft 3-D Movie Maker.
**'733t3d' — A reference to [[Wikipedia:Leetspeak|1337 speak]], or "Leetspeak," a language used on the Internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols. The translation would probably be "delete" or "Leet'd." For the record, the text actually says "Teeted," which goes to further demonstrate Homestar's general ineptitude.
**'Deltaco' — Is a mexican fast food chain.

== Transcript ==

''{The screen wavers over name tag cards that read "Hello my name is a new homestar runner cartoon" and all the staff, then cut to the luau, with a card reading:}''

<pre>You're invited to
a Meatless Luau!

featuring:
Ancient Hawaiian Poetry
read by Strong Sad
accompanied by
Marzipan on her Ukelele
(pronounced oo-koo-lay-lay)

When: TODAY Where: MARZIPAN'S</pre>

''{Eventually the card spins out, revealing a banner reading "Aloha!" Marzipan is walking to some cooking tofu.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-lay-lay. Lookin' pretty good. Homestar, come up here right now and watch the tofu please.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhh... Hang on. I'm um...doing...something.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Chop-chop, everyone's gonna be here any minute.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Marzipan, I hate to tell you this but, I don't think anyone's coming to your party. I think they're all going to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast!!

''{invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast spins onto screen as the old CBS Special music plays}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What!? He scheduled something on the same day as the luau?

''{scene transition to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man you guys, this party's gonna be crazy-go-nuts! Check it out! I've got the marshmallows ''{spreads his hand over said marshmallows}'', I've got all the latest releases from the artists of today ''{cut to boombox playing Poot Slap}'', and I've carefully filled out everybody's name tags. ''{close up of picnic table filled with name tags that all say "Hello, my name is Crap for Brains"}'' Oh, crap!! I forgot the wood! Come on guys, I know where we can hoard some.

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan's backyard}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-l ''{Homestar interrupts with a sigh and comes over but Marzipan continues to sing}'' ay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've gotta stop drinkin' so much melonade. I think I have a serious problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''You're'' gonna have a problem if you don't come monitor this tofu. I have to tune my oo-koo-lay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, a doo doo, a doo doo. A bab-dib do doo doo—

''{In the distance, Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat poke their heads onto the screen from the left, looking at the gazebo. The camera pans right to remove them from the shot, and Strong Sad is revealed standing on the other side of the fire.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, about 20 minutes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, okay. ''{takes a step away}'' That's weird.

''{scene transition to Strong Bad's backyard. Poot Slap is playing in the background. Everybody is wearing their "Crap for Brains" name tag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking past the Poopsmith, Bubs and Coach Z)'' Ah, Crap for Brains, glad to see you could make it! Oh, Crap for Brains, you lookin' good! Now, let's get this freakin' party started! ''{Lights a match}'' We'll just get this fire started here. With a little match, and a little fire. ''{holds match up to firewood, but it doesn't light}'' And this should probably be working already. Um, and I don't know why this isn't working.

''{Cut to Marzipan's gazebo where Strong Sad is holding a book that says "Polynesian Prose."}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Kallo koo-koo lay ka ka loo ''{cut to the tofu where Homestar is standing. Strong Sad's poetry can be heard in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{His head keeps drooping down, then coming back up, resisting the urge to fall asleep.}'' Soooo... Huh! Boooooooooring.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's roast, where at least seven bent matches are sitting on the ground. Strong Bad is kneeling down next to the stack of firewood with a lit match}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{frustrated}'' UUUUUGH! ''{grumbling}'' Stupid matches, freakin' light the fire!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{rubs belly}'' UUUUUUG. HUNGRY!

'''BUBS:''' I'm with Strong Mad! I feel about as hungry as The King of Town on a Saturday!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm trying! I'm trying! Gtch!''{taunting voice}'' Hello, my name is piece of wood and I don't wanna catch fire. Hello, my name is little MATCH, and I don't wanna MAKE a fire! ''{completely aggrivated}'' HELLOOOO! MY NAME IS FIRE, AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY!!!!!

''{Strong Bad kicks a log at the viewers. Homestar then walks onto the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm coming to your stupid party.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom! I love Marzipan and everything, but it was terrible!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I don't think she'll notice I'm gone.

''{cut to Marzipan's gazebo, where Marzipan is playing her ukelele and Strong Sad is reading poetry. Next to the tofu cooking is another piece of tofu, with Homestar's head drawn on it. It is on top of a piece of tofu which has Homestar's body drawn on it. They are being held up by two long sticks. The tofu cooking catches fire.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad's roast. Strong Bad is trying yet again, and unsuccessfully, to make a fire.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What kind of wood you usin' there, Strong Bad? 'Cause I know a guy who—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man, I just got this stuff from Marzipan's backyard.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh. You didn't get it from behind the gazebo, did you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it all started when I decided to drink 32 glasses of melonade...

'''BUBS:''' Look! There's a fire over there!

''{suddenly, smoke arises from somewhere, then everyone looks at each other and runs, except for Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come back, you guys, things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!

''{Everyone runs to the source of the fire - which happens to be Marzipan's still-flaming tofu. They roast their marshmallows over it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Look Strong Sad, everybody's here!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, how glorious.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey everybody, how's the tofu? ''{Cut to Coach Z, Pom Pom, and Bubs chewing on marshmallows, then back to Marzipan}'' Everyone loves tofu! ''{musical sting, then transition to Strong Bad's place, where he has finally given up and is trying to roast a marshmallow over a lit match. Scattered bags of unopened marshmallows are sitting on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you guys, come back! I think I got it all figured out! Oh, man! What am I supposed to do with all these leftover marshmallows? I got like, four hundred pounds!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walking by, humming, then looks at Strong Bad.}'' Excuse me. But did I hear you say... leftovers?

''{close up of a nametag reading "the end for brains"}''

''{transition to Marzipan's backyard, where Marzipan is talking to the tofu model of Homestar. There is a flame on his "head".}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks for helping me with my party today, Homestar. I think it was a really big success! ''{she nuzzles him}'' You've been really nice to me the last few minutes! ''{Tofu Homestar's "head" falls off. Blackout, record scratch}'' Put your head back on this instant!

''{Cut to the [[Luau Main Page]].}''

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Trivia===
*Among the phrases of "Polynesian Prose" that Strong Sad recites are "[[Wikipedia:Kahlua|Kahlua]] and Creme," an alcoholic drink, and "Meka Leka Hi Meka Heiny Ho." These were Jambi's magic words on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-wee's Playhouse]].
*This the first time Strong Bad uses the term 'crazy-go-nuts', something which will eventually evolve into [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*This is the first time Missy Palmer has been credited as a writer.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's invitation says "Your invited," misspelling "you're." This is ironic since Strong Bad has a penchant for scoffing at spelling and grammar mistakes when checking his email.
**Strong Bad even sings a song about the differences of the two words in [[local news]].
*When you first see Strong Sad standing next to the fire, in the background, you see the lights across the fence somehow seem to just stop from where scene view would have ended.
*Interestingly, Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]] displays moving bars even when it isn't playing.
*The invitation to the Luau says that Strong Sad will be reading poetry, yet his book says "Polynesian Prose."
*Strong Bad uses matches to try to light the fire, perhaps because he doesn't have the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Strong Mad's logo on his chest is slightly different from the previous toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]].

===Goofs===
*When Coach Z turns his head, his "Crap for brains" name tag is reversed.
*At one point in the movie, Marzipan's eyes are backwards.
*According to the card in the beginning, the luau features "Ancient Hawaiian Poetry". However, according to the book Strong Sad is reading from, it's "Polynesian Prose".

===Inside References===
*The tune Marzipan is playing on the ukelele is the song "Thoughts on a Bird" from the game [[Audition With Marzipan]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The tune from when everybody is running is from old Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

==Fun Facts==
*If there is a problem finding the sound file, the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:
<blockquote>Oh Haldo! This is my 
funniest word style 
ever times that I've 
said! Hope all is on 
to it even more 
lately! And I wish the

*This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] (Haldo), [[for kids]] (all is on), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (msg), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:
<blockquote>Oh Hello! This is my 
funniest word style 
ever that I said! Hope 
you're into it!</blockquote>
*Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. However, although the sound bite was identical, the text used in both cases was slightly different (the first time, it was "I'm"; the second, it was "AAAaaaAAh'm".)

'''TOMPKINS:''' Awww PEAS!

==Fun Facts==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue where all four girls clearly die.
*This is the first appearance of a main character (namely, Pom Pom) in a Teen Girl Squad issue (outside of an easter egg).
*This is the first time Strong Bad has made an apparently personal comment during narration.
*This is the first time that someone other than Strong Bad has said "IT'S OVER!"


===Remarks===
*So and So appears twice in this issue with two sharp fangs; The Ugly One also grew fangs in [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad|Issue 6]].
*When Mrs. So-and-so-erson tells them to "SHUT YER YAPS", What's Her Face's mouth is stretched to halfway up the side of her face!
*Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One have no chairs by or attached to their desks to sit on.
*During their first practice session, So-and-So looks like she is playing some odd mix between a Gibson Flying-V and a Fender Jazz Bass, and What's Her Face is playing a Gibson Thunderbird with a Fender headstock.


=== Goofs ===
*The die that crushes So And So is a 20-sided die. Twelve-sided dice have pentagonal faces.
*The blue lines on the paper are misplaced inside Tompkins' speech bubble in the easter egg.
*At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

=== Inside References ===
*"Ooncha ooncha one, two, three-cha" and Tompkins debuted in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*The "-erson" tacked onto Mrs. So and So's name is a bit of a running gag. Other "ersons" include [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4|Issue 4]]'s [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brett Bretterson|Brett Bretterson]], Emerson from "[[the process]]," (as "Emtarkanderundersgunderson" and "Emerson"). Mrs Commanderson in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] and the [[Strongbadia National Anthem]] Mr. Cheaterson.
*Strong Bad is called a "prinicpal" (note the misspelling) by his nameplate and Tompkins, just like in the [[Homestar Quiz]] and [[CGNU]]. It is unclear if the girls actually attend CGNU.
*What's Her Face's desk is resting on her lap, and this could be a reference to the DVD commentary for the email "[[date]]."
*When What's Her Face points out that Mrs. So-and-so-erson has "like a million jogging suits" her mouth looks like one of the earlier versions of What's Her Face when she had huge lips. This early version is in Matt and Mike's sketchbook on the DVD.

*Cheerleader's inexplicable change of dress when she says "No yous guys" is similar to what happens to a pile of marshmallows in [[Meet Marshie]].
*When So and So talks about Tompkins being a renegade, she has an expression on her face reminiscent of [[Doreauxgard]] in [[lackey]].
*When Strong Bad says "Kid, you're gonna turn out HHHGGGGAAAUUULLLL right", he may be referring to the fact that Tompkins sounds exactly like Strong Bad when he was a kid, not to mention the truck shirt similarity.

===Real-World References===
*"Breadtangle" refers to cafeteria pizzas which are rectangular in shape, and very bready.
*The Sega "tape" (technically a cartridge) Tompkins steals in the easter egg is "Road Rash." Road Rash was a [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]]/Sega MegaDrive game where you race on motorcycles and knock other racers off their motorcycles by punching them or using clubs.
*The song the girls play sounds like the beginning to "Communication Breakdown" by [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]].
**Although the riff heard here is similar in style, it is not identical to the one featured in the Zeppelin song (compare with the "Communication Breakdown" clip on [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002J01/002-9367781-1919262?v=glance this Amazon.com page]). It may or may not be a reference to that particular song.
*One of The Ugly One's drums reads "mr. drummond", a reference to Philip Drummond, a character in the '70s/'80s TV show ''[[IMDB:tt0077003|Diff'rent Strokes]]''.
*Cheerleader's three-necked guitar is a reference to [http://www.jemsite.com/axes/model/vai_triple.htm Steve Vai's guitar], which he played in the video for "Just Like Paradise" by David Lee Roth. Incidentally, Steven Vai is the subject of the article for [http://www.theonion.com The Onion] page-a-day tear-off calendar on January 17th.
**The guitar may also be a reference to the Animusic computer-animated music short "Future Retro".
*The "16 hour drum solo" brings to mind the epic drum solos of "[[Wikipedia:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]]" by Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's solo in [[Wikipedia:The Song Remains the Same|The Song Remains the Same]] or "Moby Dick".
*Cheerleader's close-up of her with a hat, moustache, glasses, and a tie is similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Blues Brothers|Blues Brothers]], though the way she says "yous guys" also directs the reference towards Edward G. Robinson.
*The classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon [[Wikipedia:Jabberjaw|Jabberjaw]] also had a shark as a band member.
*The goblins and the gamers multi-sided die are staples of [[Wikipedia:Role_playing_game|RPGs]] such as [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]].
*The goblins' language sound vaguely "Gothic" (in the ethnic sense of the word) to go with So and So's image. It also bears a striking resemblence to [http://www.kli.org klingon] which along with [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] are 2 of the best known geek symbols.
*The opening quote for So and So "[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000063T50/002-1408612-1164808?v=glance Hooked on Classics]" refers to a real compilation album. It consists of classical musical themes set against rock beats.
*Adrian Belew uses a three-necked, heart-shaped guitar in his 1989 video "Oh Daddy."
*The pose for the shark at the end is remarkably similar to the pose of the Shark enemy in Final Fantasy 1.
*Fatty's Big Chance is clearly a Ska band, what with his checkered pants and the phrase "pick-it-up".
**This is likely a specific reference to the 1970's British ska band [[Wikipedia:Bad_Manners|Bad Manners]] and its fat, shaven-headed singer [[Wikipedia:Buster_Bloodvessel|Buster Bloodvessel]]. The checkered pants match the standard set by the British ska label [[Wikipedia:Two_Tone|Two Tone]], on which Bad Manners recorded. Additionally, Bad Manners recorded the song "Lip Up, Fatty".
*What's Her Face's bass transforming into a shark is a reference to the 1997 TV special, "[[IMDB:tt0218329|Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees]]". During a musical sequence, Mike's guitar turns into a shark.
*In the upcoming movie [http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/mrandmrssmith/index.html Mr. and Mrs. Smith], Brad Pitt has the line,"Aww Peas" which may or may not be a reference to this cartoon

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The stamp on the postcard has an outline of Abe Lincoln.

===Remarks===
*"Cigarrette" is misspelled.
*The girls are presumably thirteen or fourteen, as evidenced by So And So's screwup.
*It is impossible to do a late [[Wikipedia:shove-it|360 shove-it]] to boneless. A [http://www.skateboard-city.com/boneless.php boneless] is a variation of an [[wikipedia:ollie|ollie]], and therefore would have to come first.
*This Teen Girl Squad issue subtly implements the "[[The Birds|birds]] getting killed" tradition by the mailbox eating the postcard with birds on it.
*Henry Rollins has never seen this cartoon.

===Goofs===
*When George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Henry Rollins look at The Ugly One in the sand, Lincoln has no arms.
===Inside References===
*Cheerleader "PUNTS" So and So. What's Her Face also gets punted by a [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Dinosaur|dinosaur]] in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*According to the postcard, What's Her Face's address is 412 S. Figgis, [[Mundelow]] 80808, indicating that she lives near [[Thorax Corporation]] headquarters.

== Fun Facts ==

*MSG stands for [[Wikipedia:Monosodium glutamate|monosodium glutamate]], a flavor enhancer commonly added to soups, canned vegetables, processed meats, and Asian cuisine. According to the Food and Drug Administration, MSG has a limited number of symptoms, usually among people who may eat a large dose (greater than 3 grams) on an empty stomach and people who have severe asthma. The short-term reactions known as MSG Symptom Complex can involve numbness, tingling, burning sensation, chest pain, headache, rapid heartbeat, nausea, weakness, and drowsiness. MSG and other glutamates usually affect only the nervous system, and claims of deteriorating stomach lining due to MSG consumption are unsubstantiated.
* Max0rzed is a reference to the "[[Wikipedia:Leet|leet]]" language. The -0rz- is never pronounced.
* This is the only appearance to date of the Teen Girl Squad end theme.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I got jimmies

''{cut to end card}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' its over!

'''The End'''

== Fun Facts ==

*The name of the yogurt place is a parody of [[Wikipedia:TCBY|TCBY]], a [http://www.tcby.com chain] of frozen yogurt and ice cream stores.
*When cheerleader gets swooped up by the bat, the phrase on her dress changes from "Li'l brat" to "Huge bat"
*"[[Wikipedia:Jimmies|Jimmies]]" is a regional term for "sprinkles." They were one of the first types of sprinkles created. They are the multi colored, cylinder shaped style.
**Oddly, the term "jimmies" is primarily used in the Northeast, where it refers to chocolate sprinkles. This is odd because TBC are from Georgia.
*"I think I have a chance with this guy" would later become a song on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*What's Her Face's yogurt is on the ground because she's vegan, according to issue 6.

That Time of Year

Ironcladlou — Fri, 17 Jun 2005 20:34:46 GMT

Ironcladlou: It says "De" in the book....

[[Image:dweenkidsbook.PNG|thumb|Snow falls from the 'bove. Or does it?]]

A holiday kids book by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]], reinterpreted by [[Strong Bad]] in the style of his [[kids' book]].

'''Page Title:''' From the Whimsical mind of Leomard Sportsinterviews

== Transcript ==
''{A book is seen resting on a table. Its title is "That Time of Year". On the front there is a picture of a boy making a snowman, and holding a hat, with a sprig of holly at the top. A [[Cheap as Free]] logo is in the top left.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' That time of year, by Leomard 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Strong Bad! 
'''VOICE OVER:''' Sportsinterviews.

''{The book opens to show the first page, which features the same picture as the front cover. For all the pages, the voiceover reads the text, which then changes to an edited version which Strong Bad reads.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' Decemberween is almost here. Get ready.

''{The holly becomes edited to resemble a praying mantis and a pistol is drawn in the boy's hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' De Giant Mantis is almost here. Get ready to be pistol-whipped, snowman! Or... ''{eyes appear on the hat the boy is holding and a worm's body is drawn, attached to it}'' "Erweenga" is the name of the striped worm. Get dead, kid.

''{The page turns to show a picture of a present, with a mouse wearing a Santa Claus hat pointing to it.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' Does the package have a 
'''STRONG BAD:''' troll in it? ''{a troll appears, peeping round the edge of the present}''
'''VOICE OVER:''' doll in it? Or maybe 
'''STRONG BAD:''' a troll? ''{another one appears on the other side}''
'''VOICE OVER:''' a train?

''{The page turns to show a boy pulling a sledge and holding out his hand on a snow-covered landscape.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' Snow falls from the 'bove. It's cold when it snows.

''{The falling snowflakes become the centres of eyeballs and a rat wearing a crown appears in the boy's hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, a million eyeballs fall from the 'bove. The boy gets financial advice from the rat king. Or... ''{a black orb appears in the boy's hand and his face is shown to be on fire}'' Show the future, magic ball! It burns flesh when it glows.

''{The page turns to show three adults singing at the end of a walled path, while a young girl peeps out from behind the legs of one of them. One of the adults is holding a candy cane.}''

'''VOICE OVER''': The Martins sing festive songs for the neighbors.

''{A lampshade appears on one of the adults' head. Glasses of some alcholic beverage appear on the candy cane, in one person's hand and in the air. A spray paint can appears in the girl's hand and an image of Trogdor appears on the wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': The martinis have gone straight to their heads. The neighbors will probably call the cops.

''{The page turns to show a wooly hat on a table next to a plate of seasonal biscuits. An arm is pointing to it.}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Wear a hat. Don't forget to wear a hat!

''{Angry eyes, horns, and a mouth with a forked tongue protruding from it appear on the hat. Copious jewelry appears on the hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': I swear that thing is evil. Liberace is fixing to lose a finger.

''{The page turns to show a girl opening an oven, while a mouse in a Santa Claus hat looks on.}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Greta is making cookies. When will they be done?

''{A punk hairstyle and fishnet tight patterns appear on Greta and a can of bug spray appears in her hand. She is spraying a cloud of it at the mouse.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Greta is feeding the mouse bug spray. When will he be done for?

''{The page turns to show people emerging from a store, carrying presents.}''

'''VOICE OVER''': The store is crowded with 

''{A face and robotic arms appear on the nearest stack of presents. An agonized expression appears on the man who is carrying them. Other robots appear in the background.}'' 

'''STRONG BAD''': robots bursting out of people. Oh the humanity! 
'''VOICE OVER''': ''{simultaneously}'' people buying things for other people. Oh boy! 

''{The page turns to show three children looking in at a stack of presents from another room.}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Decemberween is here. Decemberween is here. Today.

''{A glowing aura appears around the presents and arms appear on the children's heads.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Radioactivity is here. Growing arms out of heads is here. Today! Or... ''{Strong Bad appears, wrapping his arms around the presents.}'' I am here stealing your presents. Sorry kids, today is not your lucky day.

''{The book closes}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Despite various debates about [[Cold One]]s, the crack about martinis going to people's heads is an unquestionable alcohol reference.
*After the Martins' page is turned, the text changes to "They sing pretty songs. Very pretty indeed!" while it turns.

=== Remarks ===
*The voice-over reading the original book sounds uncannily like [[Mike Chapman]].
*Strong Bad says, "Liberace is FIXING TO lose a finger." The phrase "[[Wikipedia:Southern_American_English#Word_use|fixing to]]" is distinctly southern. [[The Brothers Chaps]] are from Georgia.
*Even though the page is turned several times (and possibly to the end), the thickness of both the left side and the right side of the pages (the right side is thicker) it always stays the same.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad rewrites this book in his own style, just like in the sb email [[kids' book]].
*If you look closely you can see the book belongs to [[Cherry Greg]], a H*R director.
*During the "Martinis" part, the little girl spraypaints a picture of [[Trogdor]] on the bricks.

===Real World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Liberace|Liberace]] was a professional piano player, famous for his exuberant and often flamboyant act and pianos. He was very fond of his expensive jewelry and rings.
*Whenever the page turns, a bell sound plays. This may be a reference to audiotaped versions of children's books, that play a sound whenever the reader is supposed to turn the page.
*The striped worm that Strong Bad draws on the first page looks just like the worm that eats Christmas trees and presents in [[IMDB:tt0107688|The Nightmare Before Christmas]].

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''TV VOICE''': And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''(Strong Bad enters.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labelled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{Changes channel}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, were you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along. Cue music beat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the Homestar Runner Theme Song}'' Hooomestaaar is running. Along. Hooomestaaa– ''{A record scratches as he suddenly stops and starts coughing/spitting profusely.}'' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm... down. Remember health class. A-hem. ''(goes down on one knee, speaks slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating chocolate ice cream bars.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gimme them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the ice cream bars}'' We'll freeze 'em out! ''{scarfs them}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' It deliciously didn't work! ''{pokes Pom Pom with the one of the leftover sticks and Pom Pom narrows his eyes at Homestar, annoyed}'' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy!

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or… nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh yeah, "and" go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labelled "EXHIBIT A" with a lighter.}'' 

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in and Bubs drops the lighter and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? I think a bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of his business cards}'' Whadda we got here? Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator… Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside; Homestar gurgles "You got it?"}'' Okay… ''{Homestar gurgles okay...}'' Yes, yes. ''{Homestar gurgles yes,yes}'' Interesting. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas. ''{Homestar looks annoyed}'' But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here! ''{picks up a cooler labelled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

'''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a skillet in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I –

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' Ah-ah-ah! Not today, McDorkle.

''{Homestar leaves then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have –

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pops up from behind the couch}'' Strong Bad – ''{Strong Bad hits him with his skillet}'' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out ''whom'' shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's no way I'm missing that one. NO WAY.

''{Fade to black. Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch. Couch is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' That was a great skillet nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Strong Bad is duct-taped to the TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't… miss… any of the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've ''what''? ''{tears his head from the TV}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You-ka – w-wha?

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runner, did you shoot Caleb?

''{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing the sunglasses he wears in [[the bet]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You traitor! You shot my favorite TV show! ''(throws the remote at Homestar's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hiccup. ''(the bug flies out of his mouth}'' Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug ''did'' fly in my mouth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh… the good times are ''definitely'' over.

''{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear. Strong Bad opens his mouth in surprise.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The world is saved! I found the blue ooooones!

''{end.}'' (after a while, the bug flies over the screen)

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Boolean_operator|Boolean operator]] is a logical conjunction describing the relationship between two assertions ('and' and 'or' being primary examples). Some search engines accept them.
*Using quotes refers to putting a multi-word search term inside of quotation marks. Most search engines will find the entire, unbroken phrase instead of the individual words.
*The [[Wikipedia:pancreas|pancreas]] is a large lobulated organ that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon.
*A [[Wikipedia:Bail_bondsman|bail bondsman]] is a person who posts bail in exchange for a fee, usually 10 percent of the total bail.
*A "[[wikipedia:Quackery|quack]]" is an untrained person who pretends to be a physician and dispenses medical advice and treatment.
*The telephone numbers on Bubs' business cards have the prefix [[Wikipedia:555_telephone_number|555]], which is commonly used for fictional numbers in North American movies and television.

===Trivia===
*Bubs' cards read:
Bubs
Bail Bondsman,
Extraordinaire

pager: 555-7896
beeper: 555-3421

BUBS
PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR

EEEEEMAIL: BUBS@BUBS.BUBS

Bubs
Normal
Investigator

"Not Associated with
Bubs: Paranormal Investigator!!"

"Dr." Bubs

VCR Repair/Fashion Consultant

*Bubs' e-mail address here is bubs@bubs.bubs, but it was bubs@homestarrunner.com in [[unused emails]].
*When the Announcer says "whom", in an attempt to sound sophisticated, it is grammatically incorrect. As the pronoun that would go there is not "Him shot Caleb" but rather "He shot Caleb", the question should use "who".
*At the bottom right of the cooler, it says "coola".

===Goofs===
*When Strong Sad turns around in front of the couch after talking about Boolean operators, his leg appears behind the remote that is on the couch.
*When Strong Bad is duct taped to the TV, there are five pieces of tape. After he turns around, there are only four.
*In the frame in which Strong Bad's head is turned to the right while looking backwards at Homestar, the grey section is visible on both ends of the tape, but the silver, sticky side is the one which should be showing on the end between Strong Bad's head and the TV.
*In the flash file for the toon, the sides randomly flash white and blue while Homestar is singing his song.

===Inside References===
*Bubs provided VCR repair in the email [[12:00]].
*The scene featuring Homestar running over darkened hills is similar to [[Old Intro 2]].
*"The most quackinest" may be a reference to Pom Pom's character video, the page title of which is "The Most Mackinest".
*''[[Caleb Rentpayer]]'' first appeared in [[secret recipes]]. This is the first time the show and Tucksworth have been named.
*The VCR on the top of the TV is the same VCR as the Characters page.




===Real-World References===
*The title of the toon is based on [[Wikipedia:Foot and mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]], a disease which affects cattle.
*The page title (Don't...kill...bugs.) is a reference to [[wikipedia:Bob & Doug McKenzie|Bob & Doug McKenzie's]] [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001EPF/qid=1103258200/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-4330593-4682322?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 "Great White North" album]. Specifically, it refers to the [http://www.mts.net/~marcz/hosers/elron2.htm "Elron McKenzie"] track, where Doug plays a preacher whose sermon deals with the importance of not killing bugs.

'''Page Title:''' Don't...kill...bugs.

==Transcript==

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''TV VOICE''': And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''(Strong Bad enters.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labelled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{Changes channel}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, were you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along. Cue music beat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the Homestar Runner Theme Song}'' Hooomestaaar is running. Along. Hooomestaaa– ''{A record scratches as he suddenly stops and starts coughing/spitting profusely.}'' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm... down. Remember health class. A-hem. ''(goes down on one knee, speaks slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating chocolate ice cream bars.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{greeting bubbling noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug! ''{kneels down in front of the King of Town}'' The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gimme them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the ice cream bars}'' We'll freeze 'em out! ''{scarfs them}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' It deliciously didn't work! ''{pokes Pom Pom with the one of the leftover sticks and Pom Pom narrows his eyes at Homestar, annoyed}'' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy!

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or… nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh yeah, "and" go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labelled "EXHIBIT A" with a lighter.}'' 

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in and Bubs drops the lighter and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? I think a bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of his business cards}'' Whadda we got here? Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator… Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside; Homestar gurgles "You got it?"}'' Okay… ''{Homestar gurgles okay...}'' Yes, yes. ''{Homestar gurgles yes,yes}'' Interesting. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas. ''{Homestar looks annoyed}'' But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here! ''{picks up a cooler labelled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

'''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a skillet in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I –

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' Ah-ah-ah! Not today, McDorkle.

''{Homestar leaves then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have –

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pops up from behind the couch}'' Strong Bad – ''{Strong Bad hits him with his skillet}'' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out ''whom'' shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's no way I'm missing that one. NO WAY.

''{Fade to black. Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch. Couch is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' That was a great skillet nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Strong Bad is duct-taped to the TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't… miss… any of the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've ''what''? ''{tears his head from the TV}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You-ka – w-wha?

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runner, did you shoot Caleb?

''{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing the sunglasses he wears in [[the bet]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You traitor! You shot my favorite TV show! ''(throws the remote at Homestar's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hiccup. ''(the bug flies out of his mouth}'' Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug ''did'' fly in my mouth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh… the good times are ''definitely'' over.

''{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear. Strong Bad opens his mouth in surprise.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The world is saved! I found the blue ooooones!

''{end.}'' (after a while, the bug flies over the screen)

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Boolean_operator|Boolean operator]] is a logical conjunction describing the relationship between two assertions ('and' and 'or' being primary examples). Some search engines accept them.
*Using quotes refers to putting a multi-word search term inside of quotation marks. Most search engines will find the entire, unbroken phrase instead of the individual words.
*The [[Wikipedia:pancreas|pancreas]] is a large lobulated organ that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon.
*A [[Wikipedia:Bail_bondsman|bail bondsman]] is a person who posts bail in exchange for a fee, usually 10 percent of the total bail.
*A "[[wikipedia:Quackery|quack]]" is an untrained person who pretends to be a physician and dispenses medical advice and treatment.
*The telephone numbers on Bubs' business cards have the prefix [[Wikipedia:555_telephone_number|555]], which is commonly used for fictional numbers in North American movies and television.

===Trivia===
*Bubs' cards read:
Bubs
Bail Bondsman,
Extraordinaire

pager: 555-7896
beeper: 555-3421

BUBS
PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR

EEEEEMAIL: BUBS@BUBS.BUBS

Bubs
Normal
Investigator

"Not Associated with
Bubs: Paranormal Investigator!!"

"Dr." Bubs

VCR Repair/Fashion Consultant

*Bubs' e-mail address here is bubs@bubs.bubs, but it was bubs@homestarrunner.com in [[unused emails]].
*When the Announcer says "whom", in an attempt to sound sophisticated, it is grammatically incorrect. As the pronoun that would go there is not "Him shot Caleb" but rather "He shot Caleb", the question should use "who".
*At the bottom right of the cooler, it says "coola".

===Goofs===
*When Strong Sad turns around in front of the couch after talking about Boolean operators, his leg appears behind the remote that is on the couch.
*When Strong Bad is duct taped to the TV, there are five pieces of tape. After he turns around, there are only four.
*In the frame in which Strong Bad's head is turned to the right while looking backwards at Homestar, the grey section is visible on both ends of the tape, but the silver, sticky side is the one which should be showing on the end between Strong Bad's head and the TV.
*In the flash file for the toon, the sides randomly flash white and blue while Homestar is singing his song.

===Inside References===
*Bubs provided VCR repair in the email [[12:00]].
*The scene featuring Homestar running over darkened hills is similar to [[Old Intro 2]].
*"The most quackinest" may be a reference to Pom Pom's character video, the page title of which is "The Most Mackinest".
*''[[Caleb Rentpayer]]'' first appeared in [[secret recipes]]. This is the first time the show and Tucksworth have been named.
*The VCR on the top of the TV is the same VCR as the Characters page.




===Real-World References===
*The title of the toon is based on [[Wikipedia:Foot and mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]], a disease which affects cattle.
*The page title (Don't...kill...bugs.) is a reference to [[wikipedia:Bob & Doug McKenzie|Bob & Doug McKenzie's]] [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001EPF/qid=1103258200/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-4330593-4682322?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 "Great White North" album]. Specifically, it refers to the [http://www.mts.net/~marcz/hosers/elron2.htm "Elron McKenzie"] track, where Doug plays a preacher whose sermon deals with the importance of not killing bugs.
*The "Whom shot Caleb?" episode is a reference to the often-parodied shooting of J. R. Ewing on [[wikipedia:Dallas_%28TV_series%29|Dallas]].
*Homestar overreacting over swallowing a bug is similar to a [[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]] episode, in which [[Wikipedia:George_Costanza|George]] did the same thing.
*When Strong Sad says, "I even did an image search..." he is referring to web sites (such as [http://images.google.com/images?q=blue+ones&hl=en Google Image Search]) which feature search engines that allow you to search for pictures instead of web pages.

==Pay Plus Stuff==

Hey, I've been using the H*R Wiki for a while to check updates to the site, and now I've recently decided to give editing some of the stubs a try. I just wanted to say I was amazed by how quickly you've started putting the new April Fool's Day page information up, and to say thanks for the hard work. :) [[User:JackoRougburn|JackoRougburn]] 1:25, 01 Apr 2005 (CST)

Hello again, and thank you so much for telling me how to delete that page I made! It took me only about half an hour to screw up something...

==Quote sources==

You should list the sources for those quotes. Most of them I recognize, but a few I do not.

:That's why we have a search bar over there. ;) <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 01:44, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== sorry ==

Aurora, sorry I guess I don't know the etiquitte. You'll notice that what I did was strike out his text because he changed his vote below. I figured he just forgot to strike out his old vote, so I did that for him. If I had changed my vote in a similar manner, I wouldn't have minded someone doing similarly for me. Thanks for letting me know....--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 17:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Oh, okay. I'm sorry I misunderstood; I thought you just changed his vote, and didn't notice his other vote below. No probalo! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:53, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Email ==

Hi there Aurora. Is the email address you have set in your preferences correct? And if so, do you check that address regularly? Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:It is a correct email, but not one I check regularly. I'll check it now, though... if you need a better email address, I could give you one. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:57, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oh, if you block someone for defacing something, you don't need to add them to the [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll list]]. That's really just there to bring defacement to the sysops attention. Just providing a summary of their defacement in the "Reason" box on the [[Special:Blockip|block page]] is fine. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Congratulations Aurora, you'll make an excellent Sysop! Thinking back, I can't belive you weren't nominated. If I had thouht of it, I would have nominated you myself. I hope you're not offended.

== Troll blocking ==

An interesting conundrum: What happens when two sysops block the same user at the same time, but one blocks for 24 hours while the other blocks with an indefinite expiry... guess we're gonna find out, huh? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:I think you blocked after me, so it will be indefinate. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:: Probably, but I found it interesting that both are listed on the [[Special:Ipblocklist|Ipblocklist]]. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:07, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:::Heh. Weird. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:07, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::::For two different definite time blocks, the lower one would take precedence. As for one with a definite time and one for indefinite, I have no idea. We could test it...[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Main Page 22 ==

"If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up." 
Why'd you remove it? It seems reasonable to me... It's true, TBC simply didn't make the edgarware box wide enough... --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 02:13, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:We don't put Flash glitches and tricks on the Wiki, sorry. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 02:54, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::I was under the impression that we just didn't put glitches caused by manipulation of the Flash software - for instance, pausing the Flash or viewing the .swf file. We include LOTS of Flash glitches as ordinary facts - there's even a subcategory of Fun Facts dedicated to just that. My two cents. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 05:37, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::You're right about that, actually, I was mistaken. I meant more that we don't usually put down things that involve "if you roll over this button, then roll over that button, etc. etc. it looks glitchy." There's usually one or more of these in every main page and it's not very exciting reading IMO. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 08:05, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Radio Interviews==

Hey there Aurora, I was just curious about the transcript you made for the radio interview. Are radio interviews fair game as far as transcripts go, or did you have to ask the people for permission? I'm not much of the legal fellow, so I was just wondering. Thanks, ''<tt>[[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>'' 16:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

:Beats me.... that particular sound clip didn't even come with a website attached to it. I don't have time to deal with that right now, so if someone else wants to take it down and contact the radio station, then that would be fine... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:32, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

==Siggie==

Hi Aurora. I just thought I'd pass a bit of [[User:JoeyDay|Joey Day]] wisdom on to you about sigs. (I've been going through most the sysops slowly) Have you tried the template sig meathod? Basically it lets you shorten your code left behind, and lets you change ALL your sigs at the same time. You just put your sig code on a subpage of your userpage, (e.g. 'User:Homestar Coder/sig' or something). Then in your prefferances box, put <nowiki>{{User:Homestar Coder/sig}}</nowiki> as your signature. And that's all there is to it. After that, if you ever change your sig on your subpage, it'll change all of the ones you've put since you started it. It sure changed my life. spread the word! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:47, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I was going to do that... I'm lazy... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

== Cleanup template ==

From [[Experimental Film]] :Thanks for the heads up on when to use this. I'll leave it alone unless a page is in big trouble (but with all y'all around, does that ever happen?) [[User:Sgleason|S Gleason]] 14:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== the right STUFF ==

Hey Aurora (or is it Amanda?), it's Dot com. I'm wanting to move forward with the new STUFF stuff, and to help rally the wiki community around my idea, I'd like to set up a STUFF sandbox so we can practice the new format and get used to it. For that, though, I need to set up some styles on the [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css|master style sheet page]]. Something like:

''{code deleted}''

Not being an admin, I can't do it myself. Can you help me with this, or do I need to take it to Joey? Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's skeleton ==

Why did you revert my edit regarding Marzipan's skeleton on That a Ghost? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 13:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Because we generally omit any fun facts that come from viewing the Flash file. If we accepted everything that came from viewing the Flash file as canon, then we'd have to say that characters frequenly lose limbs and appear out of nowhere. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Good point. Nevertheless, I think that this fun fact is important because it helps to further elucidate Marzipan's unusual anatomy. Is there an alternate location that I should mention this? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 21:52, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: One thing I rarely agree with Aurora on is the treatment of .swf files. While it is true that we should not mention objects that DON'T appear outside the frame, like, say, missing limbs, objects that DO appear outside the frame but DON'T appear inside are generally noteworthy IMHO. Anyway, lemme check this out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Your comment on the [[That A Ghost]] page was "you can see even more of it [Marzipan's skeleton] if you view the Flash file and make the window tall and skinny". I don't think this adds anything, because there's not even a description of what you can see. I looked at it, and all that's there is a few "bones" that make the bottom of her dress, just like the ones that make up The Strong Bad's and The Homestar Runner's shoes. I don't find that very noteworthy in this case. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: It just bothers me when we're picking apart stuff that TBC never really intended us to see (except, perhaps, for "Homestache Runner", but this toon was made far before that). Maybe they left stuff like the rest of Marzipan's skeleton out of frame because they were dissatisfied with how it looked and wouldn't want it to be considered canon. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::: I don't think this is a question of canon. I think that when they built Marzipan's skeleton, they built the whole thing without worrying what would be in and out of frame, and then when they put the toon together, part of it just happened to be below the black. But since it's only ''barely'' cut off, I don't think the additional wording above does anything to make the article more complete. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::: Sorry, forgot to respond. Yeah, looking at it, there's not very much that's cut off in this case and the fact stands without needing to mention the .swf. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::: I guess you guys are right. Still, there are a few bones that you don't see inside the frame. However, they are not much, and they don't really add anything to the fact that "Marzipan's skirt has bones". —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 02:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Siggie==

Hi Aurora. I just thought I'd pass a bit of [[User:JoeyDay|Joey Day]] wisdom on to you about sigs. (I've been going through most the sysops slowly) Have you tried the template sig meathod? Basically it lets you shorten your code left behind, and lets you change ALL your sigs at the same time. You just put your sig code on a subpage of your userpage, (e.g. 'User:Homestar Coder/sig' or something). Then in your prefferances box, put <nowiki>{{User:Homestar Coder/sig}}</nowiki> as your signature. And that's all there is to it. After that, if you ever change your sig on your subpage, it'll change all of the ones you've put since you started it. It sure changed my life. spread the word! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:47, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:I think I could edit that page, but I think you should ask Joey about it first. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Cool. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Hold off on this for a bit.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Um, what do you mean? I've already written to Joey. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::He must mean hold off on the Stuff reform. *sigh* <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:42, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::Or maybe he was going to go ahead and make the CSS changes for me (looking at the monobook page history, I see now that he is the only other person besides Joey to ever edit it). Which is it, Tom? Keep in mind, I'm not about to make any drastic changes to the wiki—I'm just getting my ducks in a row to make a practice page in order to ''propose'' changes to the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)</s>

Aurora, I've gotten another idea, and I think it's better than this. Let me see if I can make it work, and I'll get back to you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:38, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:K. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

At last, the format is ready for [[HRWiki:stuff test index|rigorous public testing]]. Come on down and give it a spin. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Pretty cool! Great jorb! I was wondering why the test is using made-up Stuff'd facts rather than the real ones. Won't people be confused if they don't understand we're testing a new stuff system and see that some obvious facts got stuffed? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::That's a good point, but I think that testing with live pages would be even ''more'' confusing. Casual readers of the wiki don't see the recent changes page, just the articles. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's skeleton ==

Why did you revert my edit regarding Marzipan's skeleton on That a Ghost? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 13:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Because we generally omit any fun facts that come from viewing the Flash file. If we accepted everything that came from viewing the Flash file as canon, then we'd have to say that characters frequenly lose limbs and appear out of nowhere. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Good point. Nevertheless, I think that this fun fact is important because it helps to further elucidate Marzipan's unusual anatomy. Is there an alternate location that I should mention this? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 21:52, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: One thing I rarely agree with Aurora on is the treatment of .swf files. While it is true that we should not mention objects that DON'T appear outside the frame, like, say, missing limbs, objects that DO appear outside the frame but DON'T appear inside are generally noteworthy IMHO. Anyway, lemme check this out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Your comment on the [[That A Ghost]] page was "you can see even more of it [Marzipan's skeleton] if you view the Flash file and make the window tall and skinny". I don't think this adds anything, because there's not even a description of what you can see. I looked at it, and all that's there is a few "bones" that make the bottom of her dress, just like the ones that make up The Strong Bad's and The Homestar Runner's shoes. I don't find that very noteworthy in this case. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: It just bothers me when we're picking apart stuff that TBC never really intended us to see (except, perhaps, for "Homestache Runner", but this toon was made far before that). Maybe they left stuff like the rest of Marzipan's skeleton out of frame because they were dissatisfied with how it looked and wouldn't want it to be considered canon. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::: I don't think this is a question of canon. I think that when they built Marzipan's skeleton, they built the whole thing without worrying what would be in and out of frame, and then when they put the toon together, part of it just happened to be below the black. But since it's only ''barely'' cut off, I don't think the additional wording above does anything to make the article more complete. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::: Sorry, forgot to respond. Yeah, looking at it, there's not very much that's cut off in this case and the fact stands without needing to mention the .swf. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::: I guess you guys are right. Still, there are a few bones that you don't see inside the frame. However, they are not much, and they don't really add anything to the fact that "Marzipan's skirt has bones". —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 02:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::: Okay, I guess this got resolved. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:12, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== "This stuff is really getting old." ==

You said something to that effect on the STUFF page and I would like to nominate you forGOD for making that comment.

On the other hand, if people stopped being gigantic jerks to each other on the STUFF page, where will I get my daily daily dose of rage? [[User:131.247.9.91|131.247.9.91]]

:Well, there are upcoming measures which will hopefully solve the STUFF problem. Under the new system created by [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] there will be no more "clever" votes or personal comments, just a list of arguments for and against the fact and a list of signatures for votes.

Ironcladlou: Reverted to last edit by Ranier (re-added Easter Eggs)

[[Image:downloadpage.PNG|thumb|Please enter your PIN# for assistance.]]
The current '''Downloads''' page is an [[ATM]]-themed source for official Homestar Runner things:
*[[Downloadable Icons]] (AIM Buddy Icons and Windows or Mac OS X icons)
*[[Wallpaper]]
*[[Songs]]
*[[Strong Bad Clock]]
*[[Quotes Packs]]
*[[System Sounds]] (for your computer)

'''Page Title:''' $2.00 Service Charge!!

== Easter Eggs ==

*From the main downloads page, check your balance using the “$” button. It will say 0.00. Click on 0.00, and the bankcard will appear. Grab the card and put it in the slot on the ATM. Enter 5675 as your PIN to unlock a set of Homsar quotes!

**Note: You can click the top-left corner of the ATM card to flip it over, revealing the PIN.

== Fun Facts ==
*The PIN for the ATM is the same one mentioned in [[Strong Bad Email]]: [[credit card]], which is part of Homestar's PIN. The Superfied Credit Union is also from "credit card".

*Clicking on some of the band names takes you to their websites.

*When you press exit it always takes you to [[Main Page 7]]: ''Dead as a doornail''.
[[Image:lemcard.PNG|thumb|right|100px|Secure card it is not]]
*The card belongs to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]], a prolific [[Free Country, USA]] author.

*The back of Lem's card reads:
<pre>This is a magnificent card.
Superfied Credit Union is
THE NAME in magnificence.
Of crads, at least. I mean cards.
PIN#:5675</pre>

*The "NEW!" sign has been there for about a year (since the Homestarmy wallpaper was added, shortly after the e-mail [[army|army]]).

* If you type in the wrong PIN it says "Wrong Pin#!! I bet you stole this card!".

* If you push the card all the way to the side, you can't get it back unless you reload the page.

* "PIN#" is a reference to a common mistake, saying "PIN Number" (the N in PIN stands for Number).

'''Strong Bad Email #46'''

ANDREW writes in to tell Strong Bad that he likes it best when he harms his friends. So, naturally, Strong Bad goes out and harms his friends in numerous funny ways.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homsar]], [[Coach Z]], [[The King of Town]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Bad's Basement]], [[The Garage]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[The Field]], [[Strongbadia]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' October 14, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:10

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{Clears throat and sings}'' E-MAAAAAAAAAAAAILLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<blockquote class="email">WASSUP! 
 
YOU ARE AWESOME. I LIKE IT MOST WHEN 
YOU HARM YOUR FRIENDS. 
 
ANDREW</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads in a loud monotone to reflect the caps lock being on.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{types}'' Andrew, This is the best E-mail I've ever received. Let's get to work!
''{gets up}''

''{cuts to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is standing and watching TV. Strong Bad walks up to him.}''

'''PERSON ON TV''': Some type of TV show...

'''STRONG BAD''': Hows about this!

''{Quickly kicks Strong Mad in the shin and walks off. Strong Mad looks back at him in anger.}''

''{Cuts to garage. Bubs is there.}''

'''BUBS''': What the?

''{Strong Bad hits him over the head with a Golden Record.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed. Strong Bad whacks him continuously with a whiffle bat.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}''

''{Cut to field-Marzipan is there. Strong Bad has a whole pile of circular saw blades in a pile behind him and a bottle of sauce.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Close your eyes and hold out your hands.

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{closes eyes}'' I don't want to!

''{Cut to another part of the field. Homestar Runner is there with Strong Bad, with a huge tub of lava. It says "HOT LAVA" on the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Put your head in here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': You got it!

''{Cut to another part of the field, Strong Bad has taped The Cheat to Pom Pom. They both complain as Pom Pom tries to shake him off.}''

''{Cut to Strongbadia. Homsar is buried in the ground and Strong Bad has put down a box that say "We Are the Scorpions!" The scorpions crawl around on Homsar. One goes into his mouth.''

'''HOMSAR''': AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!

''{Cut to Locker. Strong Bad has given a bag of hot fries to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Hey, Thanks for the Chippies, Strong Bad!

''{Cut to Field again. The King of Town is there. Strong Bad whacks him with the Golden Record.}''

''{Cut to Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ahhh, just givin' the fans what they want! ''{types}'' You may have noticed I didn't do anything to the Poopsmith. I figure the guy shovels crap for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof. I was thinking about giving him a bath or something but, just the thought of that gave me the jibblies. ''{stops typing}'' Here they come again. The jibblie jibbles....

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*Click on "Poopsmith" for a [[The Poopsmith]] trading card.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The file name for the .swf for this Strong Bad Email has an "x" after the number. The .swf without the "x" is still viewable, but with a few minor differences. The music stops early, and some things are missing from some scenes that are in the version with the "x".
*This is the first e-mail to feature all twelve main characters (if you count the Poopsmith's playing card).

===Remarks===
*The record that Strong Bad breaks on people's heads reads "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". It is gold, which means it sold over 500,000 copies.
*In the Marzipan scene the hot sauce bottle on top of the circular saw blades reads "Sauce".
*In the Homsar scene Strong Bad is holding the same hot sauce bottle that was behind him with Marzipan.
*Strong Bad gives Coach Z [http://www.taquitos.net/snacks.php?snack_code=221 Andy Capp's Hot Fries]. Coach Z clearly says, "Thanks for the chippies!" He thinks they are potato chips, but they are actually somewhat spicy. Or it could be because many people refer to fries as chips
**This might be a reference to Coach Z's "depressing Midwesterner" accent. The stereotype is that people from "up North" don't like spicy foods, preferring bland meat-and-potatoes dishes instead.
*When Strong Bad hits Bubs and the KoT with the "Everybody to the Limit" record, the glass cover on it breaks both times. This might be because he had the glass replaced after hitting Bubs to hit the King of Town.
*Strong Bad tells Marzipan to hold out her hands, but she has no hands!
**there is evidence however in [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]] when Marzipan slaps Homestar, giving us the idea that she has invisible hands.
*Homsar's Hat looks smaller in this email.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad's only weakness appears to be his knees, first seen in [[little animal]].
===Real-World References===
*"We are the Scorpions!" is a reference to the concert-opening cry of lead singer Klaus Meine of the German heavy metal band Scorpions, most well known for the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane."
* There seems to be a strong hint to the [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Entertainment|WWF/WWE]]. WWE's [[Wikipedia:Vince_McMahon|Vince McMahon]] constantly speaks about "giving the fans what they want" whenever unleashing gratuitous violence and lewdness on his show.

== DVD Version ==
*The trading card Easter egg can still be viewed using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version adds a hidden creator's commentary. To access it, change your DVD player's audio language selection while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' ''{attempting to sing like Strong Bad}'' Emaail— ''{stops}'' sing it, Matt. ''{tries again}'' eeee—

'''MATT:''' No, Mike, I'm not going to do that again.

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, do Strong Bad's voice.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Do it. ''{Powered by The Cheat Strong Bad}'' Hey.

'''MATT:''' That was a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' This was one, I think, Mike did almost entirely on his own. I had to go out of town again.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Um... we didn't do some commentary on the ones where YOU went out of town, so it doesn't sound- I like that. "Some type of TV show."

'''MIKE:''' That's a wiffle ball bat. Some people think it's like a broomstick.

'''MATT:''' Was that The Promise Ring in the background, too?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.

'''MATT:''' A Promise Ring poster. Uh-oh.

'''MIKE:''' Pom-Pom has a Cheat taped to him.

''{unintelligible by both}''

'''MATT:''' We are the Scorpions! Everybody, uh, wonders a lot why the Hot Fries are bad, like, and they think that sizzle— that's a sizzling noise when it's really just the shower.

'''MIKE:''' You know they've got Andy frie— uh, Andy Capp Steak Fries

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I've seen those.

'''MIKE:''' I saw those. I wanted to get them, but I was five cents short.

'''MATT:''' But, uh, I actually kind of like Andy Capp's Hot Fries—

'''MIKE:''' I do too

'''MATT:''' —so I don't know why we used them as a punishment

Strong Bad takes a vacation and writes postcards from the [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|places he visits]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' August 11, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 4:26 (all options)

This email was updated over a period of five weeks, with Strong Bad writing a postcard each time. It is also the last email featuring the [[Tandy 400]] before being replaced by the [[Compy 386]] in [[invisibility]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oooh, duh ''doo'' doo doo, my email left me, duh ''doo'' doo... ''{stops singing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, vacation, eh? You know, I have been sittin at this computer for a long freakin' time. And Strong Mad says I've been lashing out at The Cheat more often than usual... Yeah, you know what? ''{stops typing, scribbles a note while muttering "a little bit of this... little bit of that..."}'' I'm outta here. ''{pause}'' DORKS!

'''The Great Mound (Bigger than that one in Ohio!)'''

'''Date:''' August 11, 2002

Hey, you guys! Just dropping you a line here from "The Great Mound." I got two words for ya: false advertising. There's ''nothing'' great about this mound, okay? And another thing: there's nothing but old ladies hanging around this mound! You know, wearing their muumuus and their tutus and all their Dainty McDainty crap... Like...I don't like old ladies. I don't even wanna see 'em. Anyways, the mound was a big disappointment. I'll write from my next destination. Later!

=== Postcard 2 ===

'''Fabulous Downtown Pantsburg'''

'''Date:''' August 15, 2002

Hey everybody. Don't be fooled. Downtown Pantsburg isn't anywhere ''near'' as fabulous as it appears in that photograph. I mean, they don't even let you ride that bike! In fact, it was, like, welded to that little house! Anyways, I met some guys here, they were pretty cool, we hung out, y'know, made fun of this one girl...pushed some guy into some mud... We traded addresses and stuff and they say they're gonna come visit, but, you know how that ends up. I'll never see 'em again. Come to think of it, I probably should have taken some of their stuff. Oh well. That old highway's a-callin' my name, so, you'll hear from me soon. Peace!

''{singing, with acoustic guitar playing in background}'' It's that clooooock...come on you guuuuuuys...you need to check it on ouuuuuuuut... it's that CLOCK! I can't believe it! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, the best thing about this postcard is if you look at the clock, that's the exact same time that I first laid eyes on the clock! 2:55, man. And like, iddi—oh, wait, it still says... 2:55. Okay, well, the clock is broken, but still! It's about the best thing I've ever seen ''{sings}'' in my whole liiiiiife! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, now I got to bust a wicked solo. ''{a crappy acoustic guitar solo is played}'' Thank you, goodnight!

'''Two Cars Tennessee'''

'''Date:''' August 22, 2002 (approx)

'Sup, everybody? Here I am in Two Cars, Tennessee, and you know what? I kinda miss you guys and your emails... I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear Stong Band, You are crap. Crap is the best. Everybody loves crap. Crap is in the mix. Crap is to the max. How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzi-pants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, Seattle, Washington." Ahh... okay! I got my fix. On to the next town! Oh, and incidentally, I highly recommend Two Cars, Tennessee. It's got a ''real'' happenin' arts and crafts scene.

=== Postcard 5 ===

'''Visit Historic Over There'''

'''Date:''' August 26, 2002

Hey guys, just a quick one while I'm away. So I visited Historic Over There. Don't be fooled by the old-timey photograph—the place really looks like that. Like, everything is tan and brown. The sky? Tan. And the streets are paved with a little different shade of tan. It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques. Yeah. ''Screwed up.'' There was one guy out there doing caricatures, though. I stopped by and got one...of myself...he made me...a caric-ter...choor...it was great. Okay. All this old Coca-Cola memorabilia is making me thirsty. I'll talk at ya soon.

== Easter Eggs ==

*You can click on the Post-It note to hear it say different insults and comments:
**Hey!
**Dorks!
**Get offa me!
**You stink!
*On the second postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the window and see Strong Bad being Strong Bad.
:''{A silhouetted Strong Bad peeks his head out from behind the dark rectangle, then runs toward the bike}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee! ''{jumps on the bike}'' Oh man. My legs don't even reach the pedals! This is about as fun as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride... But actually, that was pretty fun. There's that part where you think you're going to hit the badger, and—what the? 
:''{A second light comes on in the house, and a dog starts barking}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh geez! 
:''{Strong Bad jumps off the bike, and runs headlong into the mailbox, causing a flurry of mail and falling on the ground}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Hey, coupons!
*On the fourth postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the rightmost headlight to see about the arts and crafts scene—err, the crazy Seattle [[Monkey D]] postcard.
*On the fifth postcard, while he is talking about his caricature, you can click on the postcard and see it.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the last time Strong Bad uses the Tandy 400, marking the end of its 40-email reign.
*This is the only email where you can't click on anything to email Strong Bad.
*When Strong Bad stands up, he makes the "get up noise" with his voice, rather than the stool making it, according to the DVD commentary for [[army]]

===Inside References===
*In the Easter egg on postcard five the credit line on the bottom of the caricature says "LEM '02." This most likely means it was drawn by [[Lem Sportsinterviews]] or [[LEMKE]].

===Real-World References===
*Mr Toad's Wild Ride was once a ride at Disney World. It is also still running at Disneyland.
*Also in postcard five, Strong Bad says "Just a quick one while I'm away," a reference to The Who's song "A Quick One While He's Away."
* In the first postcard, it says the Great Mound is "Bigger than that one in Ohio!" This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Serpent Mound|Serpent Mound]] in Adams County, OH.

== DVD Version ==
*While the DORKS! Post-It is still clickable, it only says half of its catalog of insults.
*The Lem Sportsinterviews caricature can be seen only by hitting your DVD player's Angle button.

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Ironcladlou — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 15:14:57 GMT

Ironcladlou: /* Is Your Refrigerator Perry Running? */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== To be done ==

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

== STUFF'd Facts ==

===[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]===

====Is Your Refrigerator Perry Running?====
Strong Mad's greeting, "IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING" is obviously a reference to his attempted prank call in [[Marzipan%27s Answering Machine Version 4]]

*'''Decline.''' I think they're both obvious references to the old prank call, but not to each other... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:29, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline as written.''' But see revision below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

'''REVISE TO:''' Strong Mad attempted almost the same prank greeting as in this toon on [[Marzipan%27s Answering Machine Version 4]].
*'''Accept the revision.''' --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 01:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' I mean, he must ''really'' think that joke is funny. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 19:35, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Please, please, please tell me that the reformed STUFF process will not allow mid-stream changes like this to take place. Sometimes you can hardly tell what is being voted on! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess. -- [[User:Ironcladlou|ironcladlou]]

===[[stunt double]]===
====So holdable a gun====
The line, "Here comes little email with a gun in his hand," is an exact mimic of the line "Here comes little THORAX with a gun in his hand," found on [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/intern.html this] Thoraxcorp.com page.

*'''Neutral''' Not really sure I care. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universes]]
*'''Accept''' I personally don't care, but I'm sure some people would. Its a true fun fact. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 03:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' It's worth noting. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 12:40, 11 Jun 2005 (EST)
**'''Second.''' Good fun fact. Cute refrence. --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 16:47, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Yeah, I like it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

===[[Experimental Film]]===
====The Water====
The image of Strong Sad and the ATM knee-deep in water may be a reference to a scene in the film "Donnie Darko," where a [http://img300.echo.cx/img300/1626/floodedschoolintheexperimental.png similar image] can be seen, and it may also be the experimental film Strong Sad mentions in his commentary.

*'''Decline''' I think its just a coincidence. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Boo BOOOO!! A pox on the maker of this fun fact! And using may twice? For shame! [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universes]]
*Oh, well I'll just get out my ''thesaurus!'' --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 05:53, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Decline with a comment.''' So wait, VolatileChemical, is that a decline? Or is that just a comment? --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 13:20, 11 Jun 2005 (EST)
** '''Second''' both the vote and the question. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*It was just a sarcastic comment. No, it wasn't a decline in any way. Are the submitters even aloud to vote? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 02:42, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** If they're not ''allowed'' to vote, then I break the rules left and right - I almost always vote on a fact right as I submit it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:21, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*** I think it's a good idea for a submitter to vote and explain his/her vote, so other users can see why it was stuffed in the first place. And '''decline''' to this ridiculous fact. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 01:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
****I usually just delete silly facts like this one. When I do STUFF, I most certainly vote! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:32, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Donnie Declineo''' Sorry. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 03:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[sisters]]===
====Love/Hate Relationship====
"I hate this computer" is probably a reference to "I liked that computer" in [[gimmicks]].
*'''Accept''' This seems to be a clear reference to me, but people keep deleting it because they don't see a connection. The joke is, of course, that Strong Bad pronounced that he liked the computer in "gimmicks" but rescinds on that statement as soon as he gets annoyed. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' Makes sense to me. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 19:00, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)
**'''Second.''' Aurora's comment rings true. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:41, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:45, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''<s>Neutral.</s>''' Well, when he said that he hated the computer, I did recall that he had previously stated that he liked the computer. The fun fact is speculatory, but it's not too big of a stretch, so... I'm staying neutral on this one for now. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**Aw, what the hey? Everybody else is doing it, so... '''Accept.''' --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 05:16, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***Oh, I almost forgot to tell you... Later on today we're all going to go jump off a cliff. See you there! ;)
****I'll be there! --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]]
*****Don't let your mom catch wind of our plans, though. I ''know'' she'll just try to talk you out of it using some ol' cliché. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
******"Well if Strong Bad jumped off a--" "Yes!" --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 02:47, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' ^^ That was pretty weird. Anyways, I always thought that was obvious, but I'd still accept it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

===[[Homestar's Website]]===

====World Wide Wed...SB reference?====

Wedsite may refer to Strong Bad's Website, because one of the .gif images says "World Wide Wed".

*Uh, no. It may not. '''Decline.''' --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 03:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''...In their DECLINED FUN FACTS! DECLINED FUN FACTS!''' Aunt Gert may refer to SBEmail 22! Homestar may refer to Homsar! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:45, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''This sort of thing is getting really old.''' I would appreciate it if everyone would refrain from placing their emotional outbursts on STUFF. They're fun facts, people, not heinous insults about your mothers. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 18:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**I've been against the whole Fun Fact Validation Committee thingummybob, but y'know, maybe I'm changin' my mind. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:42, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] was working on a fun fact revamp a while ago which would get rid of this sort of thing. We should probably think about getting that up. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 18:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
****Let me make a couple of modifications, and then if it's okay with everyone, I'll put a link to it on this page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[boring (really)]]===
====102 Exclamations====
There are 102 total words in the list [of 3-letter words], counting the two duplicates (an even 100 distinct words).
*'''Weak Decline.''' Obviously, this is true, so that's not the issue here. But is it noteworthy? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept'''. For people who might vaguely be interested seeing it there, but couldn't be bothered counting for themselves... {{User:phlip/sig}} 19:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Meh, why not? But change it to say, "There are 102 total words in the list [of 3-letter words], counting the two duplicates. That makes an even 100 distinct words." --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' but that rewrite doesn't sound quite right. Chaneg the period after duplicates to a comma and the that to which.
**'''Second.''' Geez, I thought there were only 50 or so... sounds "fun" enough for me. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 19:04, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)
*'''Accept.''' Shrug. And I'm the one that added it! I was curious, so I counted 'em. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Yeah. Its true. However, these are called "Fun Facts" for a reason, and people can count for themselves if they really want to. I dunno why anyone would, but... -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:26, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept.''' 'Ey, people might be curious, and this'll save 'em the time it takes to count the words. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 16:59, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Do you actually think that someone would seriously care how many words Strong Bad typed? Hey if so I think we need to put a wordcount on all of the sbemails from now..just in case. And while you are at it, it might be necessary to count exacly how many frames there are in each toon. People might be curious. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' I think it is interesting that there are exactly 100 unique words. --[[User:Hamrodrunner|Hamrodrunner]] 21:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Why not? --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]

====Are these really goofs? part 1====
You can still click on The Paper, the "back" link on the Lappy 486, and the Easter Egg words even when the screen fades to black temporarily.
*'''Decline.''' Uninteresting, and I don't think it was a mistake on TBC's part. The links don't disappear in Flash just because you're changing colors. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I think it's less of a goof, and more of a "why should TBC care if it does that?" <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:45, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' [[User:silverwing99|silverwing99]] 21:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:03, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept.''' It wasn't listed as a Goof last I saw. I think it's okay under the heading "Strong Bad's List of Words" or "Remarks" but not under "Goofs." I don't feel too strongly either way about this one. I don't think it'd hurt to have it around, but it wouldn't break my heart to see it gone. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 00:31, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Relocate?''' I think that this (as well as both the other "goofs," but I don't feel like triple-voting) could just go in its own "remarks" section. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 13:06, 8 Jun 2005 (EST)
**'''Comment.''' This "goof" was a remark in the first place. The only reason it's being declined is because whomever STUFF'd it claimed that it was listed as a goof. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 06:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***'''I'll upset ''your'' balance.''' (Sorry, I've always wanted to say that.) I didn't try to find out this fact's whole history, but [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=boring_%28really%29&diff=93605&oldid=93598 when I STUFF'd it], it was definitely listed as a goof. Either way, my vote would still be to decline it no matter where it would be listed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***My vote is decline whether it's a goof or a remark. I just don't think it's an interesting fact. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:35, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
****'''No probalo!''' If you choose to decline it because you don't find it very interesting, then that's fine. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:04, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Are these really goofs? part 2====
The "back" link in the far lower left corner is still there after the Lappy 486 fades back in.
<div style="color:#555">''This fact was removed from the goofs section. If you vote to accept it, be sure to indicate whether you consider it a true goof or just a remark.''</div>
*'''Decline.''' It was probably more trouble to make it completely disappear than to just make it transparent. Possibly a remark, but not a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I disagree. They could have completely removed it (the other "Back" button is still there) so this should be noted. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**Do you mean as a remark or a goof? A remark I could go for, but I don't think it qualifies as a bona fide goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:24, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*** Remark. I didn't pay close attention to your vote. Yeah, it's very questionable that this is a "Goof." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' It's okay as a remark, but if this is noted, then the STUFF'd fact above it should be used instead. Neither one should be used as a goof though. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 00:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I think this is noteworthy..it surprised me. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:02, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Ooh, a variation of the fun fact I put in. I should have STUFF'd it myself instead of adding it, but anyways, I think hat since at the end there are two back buttons, which is uncommon, or possibly never happened before, it's a quality fun fact. I like it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005
**Oh, whoops. Forgot to say whether it's a goof or remark. Truly, I don't know what they mean exactly, I'm quite new to the wiki, but as long as it gets accepted, I don't care (If someone could clear up what the diference between a goof and remark is, that'd be great) --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
***Have a look at [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts]]. As for the fact, '''Accept''' as a remark. Also, welcome to the wiki, Ju Ju. {{User:phlip/sig}} 14:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Are these really goofs? part 3====
If you click "try, wet, cod," and leave it up, it will still be there when the screen fades back in.
*'''Decline.''' Yeah, so? Again, if anything this is a remark, not a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The way Strong Bad pronounces the phrase "Her" (here) is similar to the way that rap artist Nelly pronounces the word in the song "Hot in Herre", and is possibly a reference to such.

* '''Decline''' The word "her" isn't even in the song "Hot in Herre" (google for lyrics). So, at best this "fact" is that SB pronounces the word "Her" the same way Nelly pronounces the word "Herre". Which is about as likely to be a reference as it is to the fact that SB pronounces it similar to the way my roommate pronounces the word "her". --[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 09:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Decline.''' He said "her" because he took off the last "e". Simple as that.
*'''Second.''' It's seems more like how the word "hair" is pronounced in the song "Right Thur". --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 11:37, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)
*'''Decline'''Probably not good material for a Fun Fact.
*'''Revise''' When originally posted, this did not limit the reference to the one song. Strong Bad has referenced modern hip-hop on several occasions, but most people refuse to believe this for some reason. This is totally a reference to southern rappers (such as Nelly and Chingy) and their pronounciation. If not, why?

====You said doyng again!====
Strong Bad's hesitation before saying "doing" to Homestar is a reference to Homestar's commentary on the word in [[car]].
*'''Accept!''' Cute fun fact. I've always liked that "doing" thing.--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 20:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** Maybe it's cute, and maybe you liked the "doing" thing—but does that make it a reference? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:16, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' This got deleted, but I think it's a valid reference. As soon as Strong Bad said "what are you..." I immediately thought "you said doyng again!" Maybe that's just me. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' When Strong Bad hesitated ("What are you, ummm..."), I leaned forward with anticipation to see if he would say "doing" or "doyng", and what Homestar's response would be. I decline this because it isn't a reference; Strong Bad just hesitated because he was bored... and thats what... bored people... do. Now if Homestar said something about "doyng" in response, I would have accepted this. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Decline''' I don't think its even a coincidence because there is no connection to this and Car other than the word "doing". At any rate this e-mail contains alot of awkward pauses so yeah, I doubt any of them were meant to be references. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:06, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Accept!''' - That's what I thought of when I saw it. Besides, that pause is large, even compared to the rest... of... the... e-mail... -- [[User:Super Sam|Super Sam]] 11:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*It's not THAT large, and the "grabs his head" doesn't really mean much - Strong Bad does that a lot. Maybe he's just scratching his head because he doesn't know what Homestar is doing. If the word "doyng" had actually been heard from either party, this reference would be clear, but it didn't. "Doing" is just a word, and a pause is sometimes just a pause. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''': It wasn't ''just'' a pause. He said, "What are you... '''um'''... doing..."

**You know whats even worse? The people who are declining the "get out of here kid" fact are using the same logic we're using to decline this one.

====Oops, I STUFF'd it!====
Homestar saying "Oops, I lost it." is probably a reference to him saying "Oops, you bwoke it." in a similar voice in the [[System Sounds|system sounds quote pack]].

*'''Decline.''' Correct to point out overwhelming similarity, but that's b/c both lines were said by Homestar, and that's the way he talks. Imagine making Fun Facts every time Strong Bad said "deleted." [[User:Svelt|Svelt]] 06:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Sometimes people just say stuff. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

====Boring sound====
The machine drilling sound is similar to that of the sun-buzzsaw in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]].

*'''Decline.''' Not only are these sounds not the same pitch, they aren't even for the same tool. This is just a noise that sounds somewhat similar to another noise on the site, and just like some re-used words on the site, it is certainly ''not'' a reference whatsoever. I decline this as a possible Remark, too, because this comparison is highly irrelevant. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' Reusing the same sound effects, the same graphical effects (these fireworks are the same ones from that one main page), and especially the same words from the English language do not count as references. If an entire phrase or event from another toon is reused, maybe with a 25% difference at the most, then it might be a legitimate fun fact. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 01:24, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Error?====

On the newspaper clippin' of (Perhaps) The Deke's rave review, the word "of" is double-underlined, apparently by hand. Strong Bad appears to have noted that the word was not capitalized, and duly marked the error.

*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Not only is it speculation, but it's factually inaccurate - prepositions should NEVER be capitalized in titles and slogans unless they are the first word (I've heard that you're always supposed to capitalize final words too, but I can't think of a case where an article, preposition, or conjunction - the three types of words left non-capitalized - would ever come up there.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The word "vera" from when Senor Cardgage says "vera low prices" actually means "true" in Italian, "genuine" in Greek, and "side" in Spanish.

==== Unexpected guests? ====

In Strong Bad's marshmallow roast, he was seen with 16 name tags. Yet, at the time, only 11 characters existed, and even if Homsar did, there would still be too many. Also, Strong Sad and Marzipan were at the luau, and the KOT was uninvited, so only eight tags were used, (Unless someone wasn't wearing one).

Technically, Strong Bad didn't make the "stnank" in sisters, the Tandy deleted the email without Strong Bad telling it to.

====A Type of Bad Grammar====
This is the first email in which we see a type of DELETED on The Lappy.

'''VERDICT:''' This fact was rejected. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:do over]]. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Grammatically Incorrect====

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").

'''VERDICT:''' This fact has been rejected. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:do over]]. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:20, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[cheat talk]]===

===To "T" or not to "T"===

At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad types The Cheat's name with a lowercase T. Usually the T is uppercase as it is considered part of his name.

===[[labor day]]===

====Strong Bad referencing Lucky?====

In the Schenectady Crispies egg, Strong bad says "I hope I don't get caught!" This could be a reference to Lucky Charms, in which Lucky, the cereal making leprechaun, is constantly avoiding getting caught by the kids who want his cereal.

===[[Bug in Mouth Disease]]===
====Music by TMBG?====
The opening theme is somewhat like [[They Might Be Giants]]', [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Till_My_Head_Falls_Off "Till My Head Falls Off"]. The beat is the same, but the Bug In Mouth Disease one is slower and has a drum loop and heavier keyboard sounds.

====555-What?====

The 555 numbers on Bubs' business cards are a reference to the 555 numbers traditionally used in movies, television, and radio. (Revised.)

'''VERDICT:''' This item, with modifications, was accepted as an explanation. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:Bug in Mouth Disease]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:39, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[comic]]===
====CORRECTIONED====
the line "In the United States alone, someone checks their email every three seconds. This is one of them" is more likely a reference to public servce anousments like "In the United States alone, someone dies from a brain tumor every 20 minutes." or "in the United States alone, someone suffers a heart attack every 20 seconds" or "in the United States alone, someone starts a new home-based business approximately every 10 seconds." than a reference to the closing lines of The Naked City ("There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.") as listed on the page for [[comic]]

===[[garage sale]]===

====Are ALL the prices (except where otherwise noted) related to e-mails?====

Except for the candle, the egg carton, Aunt Gert, and unpriced items, all prices refer to the number of the email in which the item first appeared.

===[[theme park]]===

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

'''(B)'''The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to [[Ryan Sterritt]], a friend of the Brothers Chaps who has helped with the website in the past.

'''VERDICT:''' Both of these were accepted. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:theme park]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:18, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[couch patch]]===

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

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

===[[Under Construction]]===
====Get That Character A Kleenex!====
1-Up getting a green nosebleed is a nod to the [[Wikipedia:Nosebleed#Nosebleeds in fiction|anime cliche]] that excited or aroused people get nosebleeds or "hanaji". The nosebleed's odd color may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Mortal_Kombat#Ports|the original Mortal Kombat port for the Super Nintendo]], where the blood was recolored gray and passed off as "sweat".

===[[rampage]]===

====rampage easter egg====
At the end of the SBEmail [[rampage]], in the easter egg when you click on "rampage," Strong Mad chasing the Cheat monster looking thing (sorry I never played Rampage before) and yelling "My panties!! My panties!!" is a reference to the SBEmail [[morning routine]].

'''VERDICT:''' This item was declined. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:rampage]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[best thing]]===

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

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

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

==== Charlie Brown ====
The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons.

'''CLOSED:''' This information is correct, but the consensus is to note it on [[Homestar's House]], which it already is. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====
Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

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

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

==== Fanglyfish ====
The Fanglyfish is Strongbad's interpertation of a real-world animal called the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish anglerfish]. Apparently he's unaware that only lady anglerfish get to have the Christmas lights and lures.

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Ironcladlou — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 15:14:38 GMT

Ironcladlou: /* Is Your Refrigerator Perry Running? */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== To be done ==

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

== STUFF'd Facts ==

===[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]===

====Is Your Refrigerator Perry Running?====
Strong Mad's greeting, "IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING" is obviously a reference to his attempted prank call in [[Marzipan%27s Answering Machine Version 4]]

*'''Decline.''' I think they're both obvious references to the old prank call, but not to each other... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:29, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

'''REVISE TO:''' Strong Mad attempted almost the same prank greeting as in this toon on [[Marzipan%27s Answering Machine Version 4]].
*'''Accept the revision.''' --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 01:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Please, please, please tell me that the reformed STUFF process will not allow mid-stream changes like this to take place. Sometimes you can hardly tell what is being voted on! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess. -- [[User:ironcladlou|ironcladlou]]

===[[stunt double]]===
====So holdable a gun====
The line, "Here comes little email with a gun in his hand," is an exact mimic of the line "Here comes little THORAX with a gun in his hand," found on [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/intern.html this] Thoraxcorp.com page.

*'''Neutral''' Not really sure I care. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universes]]
*'''Accept''' I personally don't care, but I'm sure some people would. Its a true fun fact. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 03:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' It's worth noting. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Accept''' Yeah, I like it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

===[[Experimental Film]]===
====The Water====
The image of Strong Sad and the ATM knee-deep in water may be a reference to a scene in the film "Donnie Darko," where a [http://img300.echo.cx/img300/1626/floodedschoolintheexperimental.png similar image] can be seen, and it may also be the experimental film Strong Sad mentions in his commentary.

*'''Decline''' I think its just a coincidence. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[sisters]]===
====Love/Hate Relationship====
"I hate this computer" is probably a reference to "I liked that computer" in [[gimmicks]].
*'''Accept''' This seems to be a clear reference to me, but people keep deleting it because they don't see a connection. The joke is, of course, that Strong Bad pronounced that he liked the computer in "gimmicks" but rescinds on that statement as soon as he gets annoyed. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''<s>Neutral.</s>''' Well, when he said that he hated the computer, I did recall that he had previously stated that he liked the computer. The fun fact is speculatory, but it's not too big of a stretch, so... I'm staying neutral on this one for now. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[Homestar's Website]]===

====World Wide Wed...SB reference?====

*'''Weak Decline.''' Obviously, this is true, so that's not the issue here. But is it noteworthy? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept'''. For people who might vaguely be interested seeing it there, but couldn't be bothered counting for themselves... {{User:phlip/sig}} 19:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Meh, why not? But change it to say, "There are 102 total words in the list [of 3-letter words], counting the two duplicates. That makes an even 100 distinct words." --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' but that rewrite doesn't sound quite right. Chaneg the period after duplicates to a comma and the that to which.
**'''Second.''' Geez, I thought there were only 50 or so... sounds "fun" enough for me. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 19:04, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)
*'''Accept.''' Shrug. And I'm the one that added it! I was curious, so I counted 'em. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Yeah. Its true. However, these are called "Fun Facts" for a reason, and people can count for themselves if they really want to. I dunno why anyone would, but... -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:26, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept.''' 'Ey, people might be curious, and this'll save 'em the time it takes to count the words. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 16:59, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Do you actually think that someone would seriously care how many words Strong Bad typed? Hey if so I think we need to put a wordcount on all of the sbemails from now..just in case. And while you are at it, it might be necessary to count exacly how many frames there are in each toon. People might be curious. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' I think it is interesting that there are exactly 100 unique words. --[[User:Hamrodrunner|Hamrodrunner]] 21:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Why not? --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]

====Are these really goofs? part 1====
You can still click on The Paper, the "back" link on the Lappy 486, and the Easter Egg words even when the screen fades to black temporarily.
*'''Decline.''' Uninteresting, and I don't think it was a mistake on TBC's part. The links don't disappear in Flash just because you're changing colors. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I think it's less of a goof, and more of a "why should TBC care if it does that?" <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:45, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' [[User:silverwing99|silverwing99]] 21:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:03, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept.''' It wasn't listed as a Goof last I saw. I think it's okay under the heading "Strong Bad's List of Words" or "Remarks" but not under "Goofs." I don't feel too strongly either way about this one. I don't think it'd hurt to have it around, but it wouldn't break my heart to see it gone. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 00:31, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Relocate?''' I think that this (as well as both the other "goofs," but I don't feel like triple-voting) could just go in its own "remarks" section. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 13:06, 8 Jun 2005 (EST)
**'''Comment.''' This "goof" was a remark in the first place. The only reason it's being declined is because whomever STUFF'd it claimed that it was listed as a goof. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 06:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***'''I'll upset ''your'' balance.''' (Sorry, I've always wanted to say that.) I didn't try to find out this fact's whole history, but [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=boring_%28really%29&diff=93605&oldid=93598 when I STUFF'd it], it was definitely listed as a goof. Either way, my vote would still be to decline it no matter where it would be listed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***My vote is decline whether it's a goof or a remark. I just don't think it's an interesting fact. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:35, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
****'''No probalo!''' If you choose to decline it because you don't find it very interesting, then that's fine. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:04, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Are these really goofs? part 2====
The "back" link in the far lower left corner is still there after the Lappy 486 fades back in.
<div style="color:#555">''This fact was removed from the goofs section. If you vote to accept it, be sure to indicate whether you consider it a true goof or just a remark.''</div>
*'''Decline.''' It was probably more trouble to make it completely disappear than to just make it transparent. Possibly a remark, but not a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I disagree. They could have completely removed it (the other "Back" button is still there) so this should be noted. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**Do you mean as a remark or a goof? A remark I could go for, but I don't think it qualifies as a bona fide goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:24, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*** Remark. I didn't pay close attention to your vote. Yeah, it's very questionable that this is a "Goof." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' It's okay as a remark, but if this is noted, then the STUFF'd fact above it should be used instead. Neither one should be used as a goof though. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 00:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I think this is noteworthy..it surprised me. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:02, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Ooh, a variation of the fun fact I put in. I should have STUFF'd it myself instead of adding it, but anyways, I think hat since at the end there are two back buttons, which is uncommon, or possibly never happened before, it's a quality fun fact. I like it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005
**Oh, whoops. Forgot to say whether it's a goof or remark. Truly, I don't know what they mean exactly, I'm quite new to the wiki, but as long as it gets accepted, I don't care (If someone could clear up what the diference between a goof and remark is, that'd be great) --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
***Have a look at [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts]]. As for the fact, '''Accept''' as a remark. Also, welcome to the wiki, Ju Ju. {{User:phlip/sig}} 14:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Are these really goofs? part 3====
If you click "try, wet, cod," and leave it up, it will still be there when the screen fades back in.
*'''Decline.''' Yeah, so? Again, if anything this is a remark, not a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:22, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====«Insert hilarious joke here»====
The way Strong Bad pronounces the phrase "Her" (here) is similar to the way that rap artist Nelly pronounces the word in the song "Hot in Herre", and is possibly a reference to such.

* '''Decline''' The word "her" isn't even in the song "Hot in Herre" (google for lyrics). So, at best this "fact" is that SB pronounces the word "Her" the same way Nelly pronounces the word "Herre". Which is about as likely to be a reference as it is to the fact that SB pronounces it similar to the way my roommate pronounces the word "her". --[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 09:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
* '''And fwom now on, people named Henwy cannot call themselves Hank; that's just too much of a stwetch. As is this Fun Fact. Decline!''' Why wasn't this deleted instead of STUFF'd? This one is so stretched, it's capable of reaching other galaxies. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 14:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second - DECLAN-ATED!''' [[User:82.43.178.225|82.43.178.225]] 14:58, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' He said "her" because he took off the last "e". Simple as that.
*'''Second.''' It's seems more like how the word "hair" is pronounced in the song "Right Thur". --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 11:37, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)
*'''Decline'''Probably not good material for a Fun Fact.
*'''Revise''' When originally posted, this did not limit the reference to the one song. Strong Bad has referenced modern hip-hop on several occasions, but most people refuse to believe this for some reason. This is totally a reference to southern rappers (such as Nelly and Chingy) and their pronounciation. If not, why?

====You said doyng again!====
Strong Bad's hesitation before saying "doing" to Homestar is a reference to Homestar's commentary on the word in [[car]].
*'''Accept!''' Cute fun fact. I've always liked that "doing" thing.--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 20:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** Maybe it's cute, and maybe you liked the "doing" thing—but does that make it a reference? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:16, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' This got deleted, but I think it's a valid reference. As soon as Strong Bad said "what are you..." I immediately thought "you said doyng again!" Maybe that's just me. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' When Strong Bad hesitated ("What are you, ummm..."), I leaned forward with anticipation to see if he would say "doing" or "doyng", and what Homestar's response would be. I decline this because it isn't a reference; Strong Bad just hesitated because he was bored... and thats what... bored people... do. Now if Homestar said something about "doyng" in response, I would have accepted this. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I was one of the deleters. I maybe should have been a little more explicit about why. Well, this is why. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:04, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I, too, thought he might say it... and then he didn't — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Yeah, and Homestar hesitates before saying "closing," which is OBVIOUSLY a reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], when the door closes after you give each treat. Come on, this is a coincidence. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' I don't think its even a coincidence because there is no connection to this and Car other than the word "doing". At any rate this e-mail contains alot of awkward pauses so yeah, I doubt any of them were meant to be references. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:06, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' I'll admit, I thought he was about to make that reference there, but he didn't. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 17:16, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept'D''' Mmm-hmm. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 03:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' - it's not just a simple pause. Strong Bad grabs his head like he's reconsidering saying it because of the potential horrible consequences. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 05:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept!''' - That's what I thought of when I saw it. Besides, that pause is large, even compared to the rest... of... the... e-mail... -- [[User:Super Sam|Super Sam]] 11:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*It's not THAT large, and the "grabs his head" doesn't really mean much - Strong Bad does that a lot. Maybe he's just scratching his head because he doesn't know what Homestar is doing. If the word "doyng" had actually been heard from either party, this reference would be clear, but it didn't. "Doing" is just a word, and a pause is sometimes just a pause. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''': It wasn't ''just'' a pause. He said, "What are you... '''um'''... doing..."
*** Still doesn't mean anything. Homestar used to put "um" before every third word regardless of context. This is nothing more than simple speculation. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Like Jay said, "doing" is just a word. [[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 20:14, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Mighty big piece of conjecture there. --[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 17:18, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Acceptinating the Countryside.''' I think we ALL remember that one. -Walking Armless
**Of course we all remember that one. The people who post here don't forget stuff like that. But is this a reference? I know it comes ''close'', but does Strong Bad ''actually'' reference "car"? No, he does not. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''You said ACCEPTED again!''' --[[User:Iml91|Iml91]] 20:14, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''DID YOU JUST SAY "ACCEPT"?''' --[[User:Poopsmith Z|Me]]
* This fact is currently WINNING?!?! I'm really losing faith in STUFF between this and facts like "Change of Pace"... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:45, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**You know whats even worse? The people who are declining the "get out of here kid" fact are using the same logic we're using to decline this one. And theres not that big a difference between this fact and that one. A repeated (and incredibly common) phrase does not contstitute a reference. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*** Or the fact right below this, which was somewhat ironically Declined by one of this fact's Acceptors. I sometimes think that people vote on the facts they simply want to be true, regardless of whether or not they really believe them to be. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:05, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Oops, I STUFF'd it!====
Homestar saying "Oops, I lost it." is probably a reference to him saying "Oops, you bwoke it." in a similar voice in the [[System Sounds|system sounds quote pack]].

*'''Decline.''' Homestar reuses words in the English language, as we all do. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:47, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' This is an obvious reference to the '''Decline''' above. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 03:52, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' I think ''not'' sir. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 14:47, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*but they both have the word oops in it guys!!...lol..but yeah '''decline'''
**You're supposed to sign your vote, you know... I'm gonna remain '''neutral''' on this one because it close but a bit too stretchy. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 14:38, 12 Jun 2005 (EST)
*'''Decline.''' Correct to point out overwhelming similarity, but that's b/c both lines were said by Homestar, and that's the way he talks. Imagine making Fun Facts every time Strong Bad said "deleted." [[User:Svelt|Svelt]] 06:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Sometimes people just say stuff. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

====Boring sound====
The machine drilling sound is similar to that of the sun-buzzsaw in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]].

*'''Decline.''' Not only are these sounds not the same pitch, they aren't even for the same tool. This is just a noise that sounds somewhat similar to another noise on the site, and just like some re-used words on the site, it is certainly ''not'' a reference whatsoever. I decline this as a possible Remark, too, because this comparison is highly irrelevant. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' Reusing the same sound effects, the same graphical effects (these fireworks are the same ones from that one main page), and especially the same words from the English language do not count as references. If an entire phrase or event from another toon is reused, maybe with a 25% difference at the most, then it might be a legitimate fun fact. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 01:24, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Error?====

On the newspaper clippin' of (Perhaps) The Deke's rave review, the word "of" is double-underlined, apparently by hand. Strong Bad appears to have noted that the word was not capitalized, and duly marked the error.

*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Not only is it speculation, but it's factually inaccurate - prepositions should NEVER be capitalized in titles and slogans unless they are the first word (I've heard that you're always supposed to capitalize final words too, but I can't think of a case where an article, preposition, or conjunction - the three types of words left non-capitalized - would ever come up there.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Vera low====
The word "vera" from when Senor Cardgage says "vera low prices" actually means "true" in Italian, "genuine" in Greek, and "side" in Spanish.
*'''Decline''' Which might mean something if it wasn't just Senor Cardgage mispronouncing "very." I mean, "doe" is a real word (in English, no less!) but we don't have a fact explaining its meaning when Cardgage says "Doe NOT miss out!" --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:33, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*If it were in Spanish, I think it would have had to be prounounced like "bera". It could also be taken as Cardgage once again using a woman's name for no good reason as Vera is an actual name. 'Nother words, this fact is just another TTOTOT canidate. '''Decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universes]]

====Old Gron Sad voice?====
Strong Sad seems to be using an older style of his voice in his easter egg. When he says "Somebody hit me on the slant," his voice is normal again.
*'''Decline.''' I didn't really hear a difference... or find it that interesting. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:36, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Although I noticed this, it's not worth mentioning. In fact I've noticed that Strong Sad's voice has changed quite a bit lately. Probably because he's becoming less of a staticly depressed character and one with more personality. I'm rambling though so, um yeah, decline. [[User:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]] 22:51, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' It still sounds like Strong Sad, both times. I hear a difference but it doesn't really translate to 'old' and 'new'. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 23:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Hoppity Freddie of Values?====
The frog Bubs dresses up as looks exactly like Fredddie the Frog from the early 70s TV series New Zoo Revue
*'''Decline.''' I'm not convinced. I compared it with several online photos of Freddie -- Freddie doesn't appear to have quite the same head shape, nor does he have the nose spots, mismatched eyes, or lolling tongue. This would seem to be just a generic frog costume. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 05:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Lurking around====
Strong Sad says: "Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night." The "lurk" is a reference to [[garage sale]], where Strong Sad is called a Lurker by Strong Bad.
*'''Accept''' For Pete's sake, of COURSE this is a reference. 1. Despite what [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] says, it WAS Strong Sad that was the Lurker. 2. Doesn't "lurk" sound more than just a LITTLE awkward in that sentence if it's not a reference? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:45, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Massive Rewrite'''<blockquote>The 1-Up sprites in Level 4 are slightly different to the ones in Level 5 — they were not reused, as the Stinkoman ones are.</blockquote>That second phrase could possibly go too, depending on whether people think it needs clarifying. {{User:phlip/sig}} 06:59, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Liekand's magic pockets====
Liekand is also reminiscent of the game Magic Pockets, in which the character's attack is a bouncing tornado that can spit out smaller tornadoes.

For those of us using a seek bar there is a broken frame between the two easter eggs; a single frame of a black object that doesn't appear anywhere in the email itself.

====Domenico da Comma! Live at Woodstock!!====
"Discoveration of Comma" may be a reference to the urban legend of Domenico da Comma, the supposed inventor of the comma. The fact that the Poopsmith speaks only in commas may also be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|''Peanuts'']] cartoon strip, in which [[Wikipedia:Woodstock_(Peanuts)|Woodstock]] could only speak in chicken scratch.

====The king eats deodorant...but what does he reference?====

The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to "Secret" brand deodorant ads, whose slogan used to be "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman."

====3 Coins Halloween Punjob====

====Stnank or Not?====

Technically, Strong Bad didn't make the "stnank" in sisters, the Tandy deleted the email without Strong Bad telling it to.

'''VERDICT:''' After more than three weeks of voting, this fact was narrowly rejected. The discussion has been moved to [[Talk:do over]]. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====Grammatically Incorrect====

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").

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

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

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

==== Charlie Brown ====
The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons.

'''CLOSED:''' This information is correct, but the consensus is to note it on [[Homestar's House]], which it already is. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====
Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

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

''{Homestar's head pops up slowly}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. This year, we're going to do things a little differently. ''{scary voice, eyes slant}'' We're all coming to your house to trick or treeeeat! ''{normal face and voice}'' So just answer the door, pick a treat, and drag it on top of us. We'll do the rest. Ok, bye!

=== Coach Z ===

''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I'll drink up all the Hennessey ya got on your shelf, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Z. Pronounced with an "Oach Z."

====Jujyfruits====
:Ooh, Jorgyfruits! Oh I mean Jurjyfrorts. I mean GEORGIE FORGIE! George Foreman?

====Boston Baked Beans====
:Ya know, I once knew a fellow in Boston 'could tell ya the time of the day at any time of the day. Ya'd say, "Say there Boston, what's the time of day?" And he'd say, "10:30." And you'd look at him and say, "But Boston, it's half past noon!" And he'd look back at ya and say, "Well, those are the breaks."

====Cherry Clan====
:Da Cherry Clan. Are they related to the Wu-Tang Clan? 'Cause ya know, their first album was the BOMB! ( Pronounced "BAERMB!" due to his accent) In fact, you don't have a copy of "The 36 Chambers" in there, do ya? 'Cause I'd love to listen to it right now. Ya mind if I come in?

=== The King Of Town ===

''{Rings the doorbell instead of knocking.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat! I'm horrible! ''{Strong Bad pokes his head out from the right of the screen and says: You got that right!}''

====Butterscotch====
:Ooh, butterscotch! Would you mind melting those down and pouring them over a ham?

====Fun size Butterfinger====
:That's it? Well, if you think that I'll accept this paltry treat just because it has "butter" in the name...well, you'd be right. Give it here.

====Stick of Butter====
:Ooh, a stick of butter! ''{noisily scarfs the stick of butter} {still with butter in his mouth}'' Trick or treat. Again? Please??

:NO! NOO!!
''{The Cheat's head explodes.}''

=== Marzipan ===

''{Also rings the doorbell.}''

====Intro====
:Hey, ho! Let's go! Hey, ho! Trick or treat!

====Candy Corn====
:Candy corn!? Do you have any real corn? Or Indian corn?

====Rice Cakes====
:Hey, rice cakes! I like to eat them without water.

====Steak====
:Is this a joke? It's not funny. ''{Strong Bad drops three steaks into her bag}''

=== The Poopsmith and Pom Pom ===

''{Knocks rapidly and quietly.}''

{''They don't have an intro, as neither can really speak.''}

====Mary Jane====
:''{They look at each other, then The Poopsmith holds up a sign that says "Give us something good instead". Pom Pom nods.}''

====Chick-O-Stick====
:''{The Poopsmith dunks it in a bucket labelled "dippin stuff", which looks suspiciously like excrement. He offers it to Pom Pom, who shakes his head.}''

====Astropop====
:''{The Poopsmith shoots his gun at Pom Pom so it reflects off Pom Pom's "I {heart} Flint" button and his microphone and hits himself in the chest sensor. He falls off the side of the steps.}''

====Pumpkin====
:''{The "unlocking a secret entrance" music from any Zelda game plays. The pumpkin is firmly lodged in The Poopsmith's mouth. When the door closes, a caption reads "YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CHARACTER!"}''

=== Homsar ===

''{Knocks "Shave and a Haircut".}''

{''This is an Easter egg, only accessible if you give The Poopsmith and Pom Pom the pumpkin.''}

====Intro====
:I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!

====Shavin' Creem====
:YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!

====Black and Orange Taffy====
:''(singing)'' If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit!

====Wrench====
:Oh no, I think this is my favorite!

=== Strong Bad ===

''{Instead of knocking, Strong Bad says "Open the freakin' door!"}''

====Intro====
:Where in the world is my candy?

====Fun Size Butterfinger====
:Oh, a "fun size" candy bar? Tell me this: what's fun about eating less candy? Maybe if you gave me an entire bag of them it would be fun. The only fun I'm going to have with this thing is smearing it all over your door when I leave. ''{If you choose this, the door is smeared with the Butterfinger when Strong Sad shows up.}''

====Marshmallow Bunny====
:Why you lazy crap for crap. All you've got is old freakin Easter candy? This thing's rock hard, man. Well, you just made it onto my "People I gotta egg today" list. ''{He shows you the list: Ronnie Pudding, King of Town, [[Kewpie Dan]], Homestar, and you lazy crap for crap.}''

====Apple====
:What is this crap? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of hippie dentist?!

=== Strong Sad ===

''{Knocks quietly.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I guess...

====Necco candy wafers====
:Oh, Necco Wafers. These remind me when I used to eat the colored chalk when I was in school. I was sick for a year and nearly died.

====Baking Chocolate====
:Oh! Baking Chocolate! I used to eat this stuff when there was no chocolate in the house. And now... it's my only friend...

====Campbell's Soup====
:Oh. While I do appreciate the relevance of this, given my costume, but I was kind of hoping for something that I wouldn't have to prepare. You know, like Necco Wafers or baking chocolate...

=== Bubs ===

''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:Please, baby please, baby baby baby please! Give me some candy!

====Mallo Cup====
:I got a shallow gup and a crallow nup, somebody give me dat Mallow Cup.

====Dum-Dums====
:Oh! I'm such a big dum-diddy-dum-diddy-diddy-diddy-dum-dum...my.

====Bazooka Gum====
:I never understand the comics that come in this bubble gum. I mean, the first frame is some guy saying, "Look out, the sky is falling!" And the second frame is some guy getting hit on the head with a rock ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you. The second frame is captioned "Fortune: The rock hit the guy in the sweater"}''. And I'm sitting there going, "What the heck just happened?", and before I know it, I swallowed my bubble gum!

=== Homestar Runner ===

''{Homestar continually knocks until you answer.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around, I never thought I could trick or tre-e-eat!

====Smarties====
:Awwight, Smarties! Marzipan said to eat lots of these this year. I'm not really sure why she said that though. ''{Crickets chirp, record scratches when Homestar breaks the silence.}'' Umm....... trick or treat!

====Peanuts====
''{Dances and sings a circus theme.}'' ''{You close the door, but the doorbell rings. Homestar is still dancing.}''

====Handful of Change====
:Oh. A handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, uh, buy some candy. So...thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

=== The Discussion ===

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey Strong Bad, I really like your costume. The Spanish Inquisition...that's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, for the last time, I'm not The Spanish Inquisition, I'm not Cab Calloway, and I'm not Strong Bad wearing a yellow turtleneck! I'm Carmen freakin' Sandiego!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like Cab Calloway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Poopsmith, that's the worst costume I ever saw. I mean, you're Lazer Tag? What, are you supposed to be dressed up as the product or is it more abstract than that, like you're supposed to be the concept of Lazer Tag? Come on man, you know you just found that old crap in a trunk in your basement.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ease off, Strong Bad. He's not the one that dressed up as a ''girl'' two years in a row!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh ho ho ho, you asked for it, King. ''{Strong Mad punches The King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' Did any of you guys go to that house that was givin' out change? I changed my costume and went back ten times! I made 35 dollars!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you guys go to that house where they let you into this big room and there's all these people wearing black hoods and they ask you these questions about life and existence and if you answer them wrong you get eternal damnation, but if you answer them right you get a Twizzler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...no.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope.

'''COACH Z:''' No.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No.

'''BUBS:''' Nope.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

'''STRONG MAD:''' NO!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Never mind.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Pom Pom, check out this funky bass groove! A doo'rear, a doo'ri, a doo'rear, a doo'ri! '' {Grooves around a little} ''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Have they voted yet? I really have to pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and the Poopsmith's not smelling any rosier, either.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, oh! I've got an idea. Let's totally freak 'em out. ''Let's repeat the stuff that we just saaaaid!''

''{loops back to the start of the discussion}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Strong Bad's egging list is up, click on "[[Kewpie Dan|kewpie dan]]" to see.. something. (Note: although this egg appears to be glitched, it was intended to open [http://www.homestarrunner.com/kewpiedan.html this page] in a new window.)
*When Pom Pom and the Poopsmith knock at your door, move the pumpkin that's sitting on your porch onto them to unlock Homsar. You can also click on one of the regular treats without dragging it on top of them. Homsar will only appear in the final scene if you unlock him, though he doesn't say anything.
*In the final scene when all of the characters are talking, you can roll over the skull, pumpkin and moon to see funny captions.
**Skull: Get offa me!
**Pumpkin: No costume. Just a pumpkin.
**Moon: Just pick a freakin' character already!

== Fun Facts ==
{{funfacts}}
===Trivia===
*Marzipan's costume has a small hole in it and you can see her pink flesh beneath, giving further evidence to the theory that her body is actually "skirt" shaped.
*Originally Coach Z's intro rap was: "Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I think I'll make ya fall right down on your face, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Hoodsey. Pronounced with an 'Oodsey.'"
*This is the first instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|Weirded out.]]
*Giving The Cheat and Strong Mad [[Wikipedia:Pop Rocks|pop rocks]] shows you a rare glimpse of The Cheat's mouth open without his teeth being visible. This is also the only instance so far that The Cheat has opened his mouth fully.
*Bubs' comment about the house that was giving out change is interesting; he went back ten times and made $35, implying that the inhabitant was giving out on average $3.50 per trick-or-treater—surprisingly generous.
*The length of this toon was originally listed as "?:??" on the Toons page. Now it is listed as 4 minutes. The new time is of course an estimate since viewers can choose their paths.
*The only candy that shows up twice is the Fun Size [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]].
*Clicking "Back" takes you to [[Wikipedia:Main Page 7|Main page 7]], the Halloween Main Page.

===Goofs===
*In the final scene where all of the characters are talking, Strong Bad's caption is misspelled: it should read [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|"Carmen Sandiego,"]] not "Carmen San Diego."
**Bubs' caption is also misspelled as "Mars Blackman" instead of "Mars Blackmon."

===Glitches===
*After Strong Bad yells, "Open the freaking door," the door-opening sound plays, despite the door still being closed. (Note: There is a door opening sound when every character "knocks".)
*You can move the light switch even while the door is closed. Also, if you leave the light switch down, it will automatically go back up when the next person knocks.

===Inside References===
*Bubs' line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-dum]] is a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Marzipan notes at the end that Strong Sad wasn't invited this year. She is refering to the previous Halloween toon, [[Homestarloween Party]], in which they uninvite Strong Sad for the following year.
*The music that plays when Homestar rises up in the beginning is the same music from Homestarloween Party when he was flicking the flashlight.
*The skull and pumpkin are the same ones which served as the "play" buttons in the first two Halloween toons.
*By choosing Punchy (the Cheat) for best costume, the text will be preset as "I Choose YOU, Cheatachu". This may be a reference to the [[i she be]] Strong Bad e-mail, where the Cheat's AIM name is cheatachu72.
*Stuffing the pumpkin into the Poopsmith's mouth is a reference to Homestarloween Party, where the Poopsmith was seen bobbing for pumpkins and holding them in his mouth.

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z is dressed as Humpty Hump, the alter ego of [[Wikipedia:Shock G|Shock G]], frontman for the rap group [[Wikipedia:Digital Underground|Digital Underground]]. He also raps a couple lines from their biggest hit song, "The Humpty Dance," substituting his own name for Humpty Hump's.
*The joke involving The Cheat consuming Pop Rocks and soda is a reference to [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm an urban legend] that states that Mikey, the [[Wikipedia:Life (cereal)|Life cereal]] mascot, died when consuming Pop Rocks and soda caused his stomach to explode.
*When you drag the pumpkin onto Pom Pom and the Poopsmith, the music that is played is from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda games]], usually when you unlock something (like blowing up a wall with a bomb, thus creating a door). The particular sound music they use in the toon is from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|"A Link to the Past"]].
*Ronnie Pudding, the first name on Strong Bad's list of houses to egg, is the name of [[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap's]] first bassist.
*Strong Bad greets you with "Where in the world is my candy?" while in the Carmen Sandiego costume. This is because Carmen Sandiego comes from a TV show and computer game called [[Wikipedia:List of Carmen Sandiego products#Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?|"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"]]
*Strong Sad's comment on receiving the [[Wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell's soup]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] (whom Strong Sad is dressed as) series of paintings ''Campbell's Soup''.
*"Please baby, please baby, baby baby please" is a reference to Mars Blackmon's (whom Bubs is dressed up as) exact same line in [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0091939/ She's Gotta Have It].
*The skull's line at the end when you hold the mouse pointer over it ("Get offa me") is a quote from Murray, the Demonic Talking Skull from the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|''Monkey Island'']] games.
*Homsar's greeting is a play on [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy's]] famous line "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
*Homestar's greeting is sung to the tune of (and is a play on) the theme song to the TV show [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].
*Marzipan may have dressed up as Joey Ramone in tribute, as Joey Ramone had died earlier that year.
*[[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] was a famous jazz bandleader and singer whose career spanned many years.
*Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the [[Wikipedia:Spanish Inquisition|"Spanish Inquisition"]] is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]] [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|sketch of the same name]] in which [[Wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]], [[Wikipedia:Terry Jones|Terry Jones]], and [[Wikipedia:Terry Gilliam|Terry Gilliam]] were dressed in similar costumes.
*The Poopsmith holding up a sign due to his inability to talk (or his vow of silence) is reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote of [[Wikipedia:Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes]] fame.
* The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is an obvious reference to the show [[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|"Pokémon,"]] where one character, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]], has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, [[Wikipedia:Pikachu|Pikachu]]!"
* The subject line of the email when the Poopsmith is chosen for best costume, Teddy Poopspin, references [[Wikipedia:Teddy Ruxpin|Teddy Ruxpin]], a popular toy from the 80's.

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Ironcladlou — Mon, 13 Jun 2005 16:07:00 GMT

Ironcladlou: /* STUFF'd Facts */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== To be done ==

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

====So holdable a gun====
The line, "Here comes little email with a gun in his hand," is an exact mimic of the line "Here comes little THORAX with a gun in his hand," found on [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/intern.html this] Thoraxcorp.com page.

*'''Neutral''' Not really sure I care. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universes]]
*'''Accept''' I personally don't care, but I'm sure some people would. Its a true fun fact. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 03:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' It's worth noting. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 12:40, 11 Jun 2005 (EST)
**'''Second.''' Good fun fact. Cute refrence. --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 16:47, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Yeah, I like it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

===[[Experimental Film]]===
====The Water====
The image of Strong Sad and the ATM knee-deep in water may be a reference to a scene in the film "Donnie Darko," where a [http://img300.echo.cx/img300/1626/floodedschoolintheexperimental.png similar image] can be seen, and it may also be the experimental film Strong Sad mentions in his commentary.

*'''Decline''' I think its just a coincidence. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Boo BOOOO!! A pox on the maker of this fun fact! And using may twice? For shame! [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universes]]
*Oh, well I'll just get out my ''thesaurus!'' --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 05:53, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Decline with a comment.''' So wait, VolatileChemical, is that a decline? Or is that just a comment? --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 13:20, 11 Jun 2005 (EST)
** '''Second''' both the vote and the question. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*It was just a sarcastic comment. No, it wasn't a decline in any way. Are the submitters even aloud to vote? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 02:42, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[sisters]]===
====Love/Hate Relationship====
"I hate this computer" is probably a reference to "I liked that computer" in [[gimmicks]].
*'''Accept''' This seems to be a clear reference to me, but people keep deleting it because they don't see a connection. The joke is, of course, that Strong Bad pronounced that he liked the computer in "gimmicks" but rescinds on that statement as soon as he gets annoyed. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second.''' --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:45, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''<s>Neutral.</s>''' Well, when he said that he hated the computer, I did recall that he had previously stated that he liked the computer. The fun fact is speculatory, but it's not too big of a stretch, so... I'm staying neutral on this one for now. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 04:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**Aw, what the hey? Everybody else is doing it, so... '''Accept.''' --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 05:16, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

******"Well if Strong Bad jumped off a--" "Yes!" --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 02:47, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' ^^ That was pretty weird. Anyways, I always thought that was obvious, but I'd still accept it. --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005

===[[Homestar's Website]]===

====World Wide Wed...SB reference?====

Wedsite may refer to Strong Bad's Website, because one of the .gif images says "World Wide Wed".

*Uh, no. It may not. '''Decline.''' --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 03:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''...In their DECLINED FUN FACTS! DECLINED FUN FACTS!''' Aunt Gert may refer to SBEmail 22! Homestar may refer to Homsar! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 02:45, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''This sort of thing is getting really old.''' I would appreciate it if everyone would refrain from placing their emotional outbursts on STUFF. They're fun facts, people, not heinous insults about your mothers. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 18:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**I've been against the whole Fun Fact Validation Committee thingummybob, but y'know, maybe I'm changin' my mind. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:42, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
***[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] was working on a fun fact revamp a while ago which would get rid of this sort of thing. We should probably think about getting that up. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 18:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
****Let me make a couple of modifications, and then if it's okay with everyone, I'll put a link to it on this page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====102 Exclamations====
There are 102 total words in the list [of 3-letter words], counting the two duplicates (an even 100 distinct words).
*'''Weak Decline.''' Obviously, this is true, so that's not the issue here. But is it noteworthy? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Accept'''. For people who might vaguely be interested seeing it there, but couldn't be bothered counting for themselves... {{User:phlip/sig}} 19:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Meh, why not? But change it to say, "There are 102 total words in the list [of 3-letter words], counting the two duplicates. That makes an even 100 distinct words." --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' but that rewrite doesn't sound quite right. Chaneg the period after duplicates to a comma and the that to which.
**'''Second.''' Geez, I thought there were only 50 or so... sounds "fun" enough for me. --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 19:04, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)
*'''Accept.''' Shrug. And I'm the one that added it! I was curious, so I counted 'em. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====«Insert hilarious joke here»====
The way Strong Bad pronounces the phrase "Her" (here) is similar to the way that rap artist Nelly pronounces the word in the song "Hot in Herre", and is possibly a reference to such.

* '''Decline''' The word "her" isn't even in the song "Hot in Herre" (google for lyrics). So, at best this "fact" is that SB pronounces the word "Her" the same way Nelly pronounces the word "Herre". Which is about as likely to be a reference as it is to the fact that SB pronounces it similar to the way my roommate pronounces the word "her". --[[User:Eytanz|Eytanz]] 09:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

====You said doyng again!====
Strong Bad's hesitation before saying "doing" to Homestar is a reference to Homestar's commentary on the word in [[car]].
*'''Accept!''' Cute fun fact. I've always liked that "doing" thing.--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 20:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Accept.''' This got deleted, but I think it's a valid reference. As soon as Strong Bad said "what are you..." I immediately thought "you said doyng again!" Maybe that's just me. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' When Strong Bad hesitated ("What are you, ummm..."), I leaned forward with anticipation to see if he would say "doing" or "doyng", and what Homestar's response would be. I decline this because it isn't a reference; Strong Bad just hesitated because he was bored... and thats what... bored people... do.

*'''Decline''' I don't think its even a coincidence because there is no connection to this and Car other than the word "doing". At any rate this e-mail contains alot of awkward pauses so yeah, I doubt any of them were meant to be references. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*It's not THAT large, and the "grabs his head" doesn't really mean much - Strong Bad does that a lot. Maybe he's just scratching his head because he doesn't know what Homestar is doing. If the word "doyng" had actually been heard from either party, this reference would be clear, but it didn't. "Doing" is just a word, and a pause is sometimes just a pause. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''': It wasn't ''just'' a pause. He said, "What are you... '''um'''... doing..."

====Oops, I STUFF'd it!====
Homestar saying "Oops, I lost it." is probably a reference to him saying "Oops, you bwoke it." in a similar voice in the [[System Sounds|system sounds quote pack]].

====Error?====

On the newspaper clippin' of (Perhaps) The Deke's rave review, the word "of" is double-underlined, apparently by hand. Strong Bad appears to have noted that the word was not capitalized, and duly marked the error.

In Strong Bad's marshmallow roast, he was seen with 16 name tags. Yet, at the time, only 11 characters existed, and even if Homsar did, there would still be too many.

====The king eats deodorant...but what does he reference?====

The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to "Secret" brand deodorant ads, whose slogan used to be "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." It's also a reference to Imperial Margarine adverts from the 1970's, wherein the slogan was "Imperial Margarine...with flavour fit for a King!".

====3 Coins Halloween Punjob====

====Grammatically Incorrect====

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").

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

===[[couch patch]]===

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

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

The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons.

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====
Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

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

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': We haven't eaten in weeks!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Guess what I read in the news-papper today.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': I can't guess!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I read that a ghost.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': You read that a ghost what?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I read that a ghost is.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': You read that a ghost is what?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I read that a ghost is here in town and there's a 27 cent reward for its capture.

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': You said it Fat Duds. We sure could buy a lot of corn-pone with 27 big ones.

''{The conversation is being watched in a telescope; pan to the right of the long telescope, where actually no-one is watching, but 1936 Strong Bad stands nearby reading a paper}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Says here in the news-papper that the encapturement of the new apparition garners a top reward of 26 and one pennies!

''{Cut to 1936 Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': We could buy the monocle off Rockefeller's very eyeball with that kind of cash!

'''STRONG MAN''': Raaar!

''{The Sneak moves his nose}''

''{Danger music. Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in front of a spooky house with a gate signed 'Pietimer'}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's check out the old Pietimer place.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': We should split up.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': We can do more damage that way.

''{They walk in. 1936 Marzipan looks under a cup.}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': Under here?

''{The Homestar Runner looks at a bookshelf full of ghost books.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hmm. Let's see. Maybe it's in here.

''{He removes a book labelled 'A Goodtime Story', the only book not related to ghosts or monsters. Opening it, a moth flies out.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Just a moth. ''{He tries to eat the moth, but it flies off.}'' Dernit!

''{1936 Marzipan looks under a plate.}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': Under here? ''{Spiders run out.}''

''{The Homestar Runner walks past two portraits. The one marked 'Mr. Pietimer' follows him with its eyes.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That picturemadrawin' looks sur-spicious. ''{He lifts it off the wall, revealing two one-eyed crows with a label reading "The Guys".}'' It's just two weird one-eyed crows. Ah, phooey.

''{Cut to Fat Dudley amidst some barrels, with a cigar and a jug marked 'XXX'. The Homestar Runner pops out of a barrel.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Fat Dudley? Were you gonna sneak a nip of hooch?

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''

''{Outside the house again, with the gate behind them.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Aw, there's no ghosts here. Just a bunch of gross aminals. Let's go look somewheres else.

''{Cut to 'Cholera Acres Cemetary', then to 1936 Strong Bad and The Sneak in front of Eustice Pietimer's grave (skinflint and junk codger).}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Listen smoothly, The Sneak! We're certain to catch a ghost once we exhume this grave using my new grave-exhuming invention!

''{Cut to Strong Man holding a shovel.}''

'''STRONG MAN''': Raaar!

''{The Sneak stands on his hind legs and moves his nose.}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': What what? Why, no! Of course that's not just the Strong Man holding a shovel! It's my newest invention! Besides, the Strong Man's over there doing some manner of stylish jig!

''{Cut to Strong Man, who is now doing a stylish jig on an unmarked grave (son of mark grave). The Guy at the Depot's head comes up out of the grave.}''

'''THE GUY AT THE DEPOT''': ''{wheezily}'' Would you please keep it down?

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in the 'Punkin Patch'.}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': The Homestar Runner, I'm s-s-s-s-scared! ''{pronouncing each "s" as a separate entity, almost as "suh-suh-suh"}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Scared of what? Punkins? They're just punkins.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': But I'm s-s-s-s-S-scared!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, fine. We'll go look in the graveyard.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': ''{smiling}'' Hooray!

''{Cut back to Cholera Acres Cemetary, where they enter, then meet 1936 Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak, who have dug up the grave of Eustice Pietimer.}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': You're too late! The reward will be ours! I'll be marching around in gold pants in no time!

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': Where's the ghost?

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Behold! The fantoustic phantasm!

''{Sickly Sam rises out of the grave, and floats above it.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That's no ghost. That's just our worst friend Sickly Sam.

'''SICKLY SAM''': I bury myself alive on Tuesdays.

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Criminy crickets! Foiled again!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Then where's the real ghost?

''{A black cloaked ghost with spindly arms fades in, floating above the tombstones and making a motorcycle-like noise}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{eyes bulging}'' Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. ''{his skin falls off, leaving his skeleton}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Wa-a-a-a-a-a! ''{his skin also falls off, leaving his skeleton too}''

''{Cut back to the ghost, which fades away, then to The Homestar Runner and 1936 Marzipan, who is also a skeleton.}''

'''SKELETAL 1936 MARZIPAN''': At least we'll never go hungry again.

'''SKELETAL THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': 'Cept for Fat Dudley. ''{Cut to skeletal Fat Dudley, who is 'eating' a shoe with a soup spoon, with a jug labelled 'XXX' nearby.}'' He's livin' the high life!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first cartoon featuring the "[[1936]]" characters in the far-flung year of 1937.
*This is Sickly Sam's first appearance where he does not "die".
*The other books on the bookshelf read:
**Dead Things Book One
**Ghostly Measures
**27 Cent Ghosties
**The Ghost In My Pocket
**Creepiness, Oh My!
**There Is A Ghost In This Book
**A Goodtime Story (The book Homestar grabs)
**Banshees, Indeed!
**Ghastly Monsters
**Zombies Are Cool

====Skeletons====
=====Marzipan=====
* Her pony tails apparently sport their own spinal columns
* Marzipan's skeleton also reveals that her "skirt" has its own skeletal structure. This is in agreement with [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], where contemporary Marzipan wore jeans with a hole near the hem, and skin was visible underneath.
* Marzipan and Homestar's skeletons prove that they don't have arms.
** Or, if they have arms, the bones are as invisible as the rest of them.

=====1936 Strong Bad=====
* His Moustache has bones in it
* 1936 Strong Bad's skeleton also shows that his shoes have bones, or else that his feet are shoe-shaped.
* His hands look like his "gentleman's sports gloves", which proves that he doesn't just wear them; those are really what his hands look like. The same would then apply to modern-day Strong Bad's boxing gloves, and maybe even his mask, which is consistent with his response in the email "[[some kinda robot]]."
* He has no visible mouth- it may be behind his mustache, which moves when he talks.

===Remarks===
*Based on the tombstones in Cholera Acres Cemetary, Sir Rondello Shmallow could be [[Mr. Shmallow (character)|Mr. Shmallow]]'s full name.
**But maybe not, since in [[Malloween Commercial]], it shows Mr. Shmallow's tombstone and it just says "Mr. Shmallow", so Sir Rondello Shmallow might be a relative.
*The theme for 1936 Strong Bad is different from that of his previous appearances.
*The Homestar Runner's voice isn't as scratchy and Fat Dudley's voice is deeper than in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*When Marzipan lifts the teacup, the "liquid" in it does not spill.

===Goofs===
*The two one-eyed crows eyeballs do not match up with the painting after the painting is removed.
*"Cemetery" is spelled wrong. This may or may not be a goof.

===Inside References===
*The picture labelled 'Cory' could be a reference to the email [[cheat talk]] written by "the citizens of cory".
*The page title, "Bury Me Deep I'm Cold and Clammy!” is taken from an interview with [[Matt Chapman]] in which he says this line as [[Homsar]]. The interview can be seen [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/index.html here].
*The Strong Man dancing on the grave is most likely a reference to [[Dancin' Bubs]], where one of the places he can dance is on "your grave". The tune used while he dances is the same one used whenever The Homestar Runner "does his dance".
*When The Homestar Runner's eyes balloon up in fright this is similar to The Cheat in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*On one of the Gravestones, it reads, "Sir Rondello Schmallow 'Look Lively?'" This is an obvious refrence to the [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] toon, in which he says many times, "Look lively!!!"
*When Homestar screams it bears a resemblence to [[Homsar]]

===Real-World References===
*The Old Pietimer Place looks inspired by the house from [[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock's]] masterpiece, [[Wikipedia:Psycho|Psycho]].
*The quote "[http://www.wavsite.com/sounds/20017/ghost05.wav let's split up, we can do more damage that way]" is a reference to the 1984 film ''[[IMDB:tt0087332|Ghostbusters]]''.
*The Homestar Runner says the "news-papper" is offering a reward of 27 cents. This may have come from an old ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0054524/ Rocky and Bullwinkle]'' show when [[Wikipedia:Rocket J. Squirrel|Rocky]] offers a 27-cent reward for the capture of the Boxtop Bandit.
*The sound effect of the spiders scattering from under the mirror is taken from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time enemies|Skulltulas]] in the Spider Houses in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''. This sound also appears in [[RhinoFeeder]].
*Fat Dudley eating the shoe may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Charlie Chaplin|Charlie Chaplin's]] ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0015864/ The Gold Rush]''.
*Ghosts melting people may have been a reference to the ending sequence of [[IMDB:tt0082971|"Raiders of the Lost Ark"]] which also takes place in 1936.

===Fast Forward===
*'Cory' is also shown in the [[Main Page 22]] by removing the cursor off of the 'downloads' link.

===Ogog, or not Ogog?===

You reverted edits by an anonymous user claiming to be [[User:Ogog|Ogog]] on [[STUFF]]. However, his IP address more-or-less matches the address of a user who made an unreverted (and non-trolling) edit to Ogog's user page, and no one reverts when, say, [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]] votes without logging in. Is there something here I'm missing? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:29, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I reverted his edit because he deleted your comment, but I forgot that he made several edits in a row to STUFF.

A Homestar Runner Cartoon

"The House That Gave Sucky Treats"

Voices by Matt Chapman & Missy Palmer

Written, Directed and Animated by Los Brothers Chaps

''{Homestar's head pops up slowly}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. This year, we're going to do things a little differently. ''{scary voice, eyes slant}'' We're all coming to your house to trick or treeeeat! ''{normal face and voice}'' So just answer the door, pick a treat, and drag it on top of us. We'll do the rest. Ok, bye!

=== Coach Z ===

''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I'll drink up all the Hennessey ya got on your shelf, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Z. Pronounced with an "Oach Z."

====Jujyfruits====
:Ooh, Jorgyfruits! Oh I mean Jurjyfrorts. I mean GEORGIE FORGIE! George Foreman?

====Boston Baked Beans====
:Ya know, I once knew a fellow in Boston 'could tell ya the time of the day at any time of the day. Ya'd say, "Say there Boston, what's the time of day?" And he'd say, "10:30." And you'd look at him and say, "But Boston, it's half past noon!" And he'd look back at ya and say, "Well, those are the breaks."

====Cherry Clan====
:Da Cherry Clan. Are they related to the Wu-Tang Clan? 'Cause ya know, their first album was the BOMB! ( Pronounced "BAERMB!" due to his accent) In fact, you don't have a copy of "The 36 Chambers" in there, do ya? 'Cause I'd love to listen to it right now. Ya mind if I come in?

=== The King Of Town ===

''{Rings the doorbell instead of knocking.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat! I'm horrible! ''{Strong Bad pokes his head out from the right of the screen and says: You got that right!}''

====Butterscotch====
:Ooh, butterscotch! Would you mind melting those down and pouring them over a ham?

====Fun size Butterfinger====
:That's it? Well, if you think that I'll accept this paltry treat just because it has "butter" in the name...well, you'd be right. Give it here.

====Stick of Butter====
:Ooh, a stick of butter! ''{noisily scarfs the stick of butter} {still with butter in his mouth}'' Trick or treat. Again? Please??

=== Strong Mad and The Cheat ===

''{Knocks harshly, door shoots out yellow bursts.}''

====Intro====
:'''The Cheat:''' Nahmah!
:'''Strong Mad:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING?

====Rock Candy====
:'''Strong Mad:''' ''{staring at it, puzzled.}'' HALLOWEEN!

====Pop Rocks====
:''{The Cheat eats the Pop Rocks}''
:'''Strong Mad:''' No... No... NOOO!
:''{The Cheat takes a drink of cola}''
:NO! NOO!!
''{The Cheat's head explodes.}''

====Rocks====
:''{Strong Mad eats the rocks, then bites off half of a can of cola. The Cheat's head inexplicably explodes.}''

=== Marzipan ===

''{Also rings the doorbell.}''

====Intro====
:Hey, ho! Let's go! Hey, ho! Trick or treat!

====Candy Corn====
:Candy corn!? Do you have any real corn? Or Indian corn?

====Rice Cakes====
:Hey, rice cakes! I like to eat them without water.

====Steak====
:Is this a joke? It's not funny. ''{Strong Bad drops three steaks into her bag}''

=== The Poopsmith and Pom Pom ===

''{Knocks rapidly and quietly.}''

{''They don't have an intro, as neither can really speak.''}

====Mary Jane====
:''{They look at each other, then The Poopsmith holds up a sign that says "Give us something good instead". Pom Pom nods.}''

====Chick-O-Stick====
:''{The Poopsmith dunks it in a bucket labelled "dippin stuff", which looks suspiciously like excrement. He offers it to Pom Pom, who shakes his head.}''

====Astropop====
:''{The Poopsmith shoots his gun at Pom Pom so it reflects off Pom Pom's "I {heart} Flint" button and his microphone and hits himself in the Lazer Tag chest sensor. He falls off the side of the steps.}''

====Pumpkin====
:''{The "unlocking a secret entrance" music from any Zelda game plays. The pumpkin is firmly lodged in The Poopsmith's mouth. When the door closes, a caption reads "YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CHARACTER!"}''

=== Homsar ===

''{Knocks "Shave and a Haircut".}''

{''This is an Easter egg, only accessible if you give The Poopsmith and Pom Pom the pumpkin.''}

====Intro====
:I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!

====Shavin' Creem====
:YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!

====Black and Orange Taffy====
:''(singing)'' If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit!

====Wrench====
:Oh no, I think this is my favorite!

=== Strong Bad ===

''{Instead of knocking, Strong Bad says "Open the freakin' door!"}''

====Intro====
:Where in the world is my candy?

====Fun Size Butterfinger====
:Oh, a "fun size" candy bar? Tell me this: what's fun about eating less candy? Maybe if you gave me an entire bag of them it would be fun. The only fun I'm going to have with this thing is smearing it all over your door when I leave. ''{If you choose this, the door is smeared with the Butterfinger when Strong Sad shows up.}''

====Marshmallow Bunny====
:Why you lazy crap for crap. All you've got is old freakin Easter candy? This thing's rock hard, man. Well, you just made it onto my "People I gotta egg today" list. ''{He shows you the list: Ronnie Pudding, King of Town, [[Kewpie Dan]], Homestar, and you lazy crap for crap.}''

====Apple====
:What is this crap? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of hippie dentist?!

=== Strong Sad ===

''{Knocks quietly.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I guess...

====Necco candy wafers====
:Oh, Necco Wafers. These remind me when I used to eat the colored chalk when I was in school. I was sick for a year and nearly died.

====Baking Chocolate====
:Oh! Baking Chocolate! I used to eat this stuff when there was no chocolate in the house. And now... it's my only friend...

====Campbell's Soup====
:Oh. While I do appreciate the relevance of this, given my costume, but I was kind of hoping for something that I wouldn't have to prepare. You know, like Necco Wafers or baking chocolate...

=== Bubs ===

''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:Please, baby please, baby baby baby please! Give me some candy!

====Mallo Cup====
:I got a shallow gup and a callow nup, somebody give me dat Mallow Cup.

====Dum-Dums====
:Oh! I'm such a big dum-diddy-dum-diddy-diddy-diddy-dum-dum...my.

====Bazooka Gum====
:I never understand the comics that come in this bubble gum. I mean, the first frame is some guy saying, "Look out, the sky is falling!" And the second frame is some guy getting hit on the head with a rock ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you. The second frame is captioned "Fortune: The rock hit the guy in the sweater"}''. And I'm sitting there going, "What the heck just happened?", and before I know it, I swallowed my bubble gum!

=== Homestar Runner ===

''{Homestar continually knocks until you answer.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around, I never thought I could trick or tre-e-eat!

====Smarties====
:Awwight, Smarties! Marzipan said to eat lots of these this year. I'm not really sure why she said that though. ''{Crickets chirp, record scratches when Homestar breaks the silence.}'' Umm....... trick or treat!

====Peanuts====
''{Dances and sings a circus theme.}'' ''{You close the door, but the doorbell rings. Homestar is still dancing.}''

====Handful of Change====
:Oh. A handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, uh, buy some candy. So...thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

== Later that Night... ==

=== The Discussion ===

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey Strong Bad, I really like your costume. The Spanish Inquisition...that's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, for the last time, I'm not The Spanish Inquisition, I'm not Cab Calloway, and I'm not Strong Bad wearing a yellow turtleneck! I'm Carmen freakin' Sandiego!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like Cab Calloway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Poopsmith, that's the worst costume I ever saw. I mean, you're Lazer Tag? What, are you supposed to be dressed up as the product or is it more abstract than that, like you're supposed to be the concept of Lazer Tag? Come on man, you know you just found that old crap in a trunk in your basement.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ease off, Strong Bad. He's not the one that dressed up as a ''girl'' two years in a row!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh ho ho ho, you asked for it, King. ''{Strong Mad punches The King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' Did any of you guys go to that house that was givin' out change? I changed my costume and went back ten times! I made 35 dollars!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you guys go to that house where they let you into this big room and there's all these people wearing black hoods and they ask you these questions about life and existence and if you answer them wrong you get eternal damnation, but if you answer them right you get a Twizzler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...no.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope.

'''COACH Z:''' No.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No.

'''BUBS:''' Nope.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

'''STRONG MAD:''' NO!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Never mind.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Pom Pom, check out this funky bass groove! A doo'rear, a doo'ri, a doo'rear, a doo'ri! '' {Grooves around a little} ''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Have they voted yet? I really have to pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and the Poopsmith's not smelling any rosier, either.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, oh! I've got an idea. Let's totally freak 'em out. ''Let's repeat the stuff that we just saaaaid!''

''{loops back to the start of the discussion}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Strong Bad's egging list is up, click on "[[Kewpie Dan|kewpie dan]]" to see.. something. (Note: although this egg appears to be glitched, it was intended to open [http://www.homestarrunner.com/kewpiedan.html this page] in a new window.)
*When Pom Pom and the Poopsmith knock at your door, move the pumpkin that's sitting on your porch onto them to unlock Homsar. You can also click on one of the regular treats without dragging it on top of them. Homsar will only appear in the final scene if you unlock him, though he doesn't say anything.
*In the final scene when all of the characters are talking, you can roll over the skull, pumpkin and moon to see funny captions.
**Skull: Get offa me!
**Pumpkin: No costume. Just a pumpkin.
**Moon: Just pick a freakin' character already!

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*Marzipan's costume has a small hole in it and you can see her pink flesh beneath, giving further evidence to the theory that her body is actually "skirt" shaped.
*Originally Coach Z's intro rap was: "Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I think I'll make ya fall right down on your face, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Hoodsey. Pronounced with an 'Oodsey.'"
*This is the first instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|Weirded out.]]
*Giving The Cheat and Strong Mad [[Wikipedia:Pop Rocks|pop rocks]] shows you a rare glimpse of The Cheat's mouth open without his teeth being visible. This is also the only instance so far that The Cheat has opened his mouth fully.
*Bubs' comment about the house that was giving out change is interesting; he went back ten times and made $35, implying that the inhabitant was giving out on average $3.50 per trick-or-treater—surprisingly generous.
*The length of this toon was originally listed as "?:??" on the Toons page. Now it is listed as 4 minutes. The new time is of course an estimate since viewers can choose their paths.
*The only candy that shows up twice is the Fun Size [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]].

===Goofs===
*In the final scene where all of the characters are talking, Strong Bad's caption is misspelled: it should read [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|"Carmen Sandiego,"]] not "Carmen San Diego."
**Bubs' caption is also misspelled as "Mars Blackman" instead of "Mars Blackmon."

===Glitches===
*After Strong Bad yells, "Open the freaking door," the door-opening sound plays, despite the door still being closed. (Note: There is a door opening sound when every character "knocks".)
*You can move the light switch even while the door is closed. Also, if you leave the light switch down, it will automatically go back up when the next person knocks.

===Inside References===
*Bubs' line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-dum]] is a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Marzipan notes at the end that Strong Sad wasn't invited this year. She is refering to the previous Halloween toon, [[Homestarloween Party]], in which they uninvite Strong Sad for the following year.
*The music that plays when Homestar rises up in the beginning is the same music from Homestarloween Party when he was flicking the flashlight.
*The skull and pumpkin are the same ones which served as the "play" buttons in the first two Halloween toons.
*By choosing Punchy (the Cheat) for best costume, the text will be preset as "I Choose YOU, Cheatachu". This may be a reference to the [[i she be]] Strong Bad e-mail, where the Cheat's AIM name is cheatachu72.
*Stuffing the pumpkin into the Poopsmith's mouth is a reference to Homestarloween Party, where the Poopsmith was seen bobbing for pumpkins and holding them in his mouth.
*Strong Mad's greeting, "IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING" is a reference to his attempted prank call in [[Marzipan%27s Answering Machine Version 4]]

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z is dressed as Humpty Hump, the alter ego of [[Wikipedia:Shock G|Shock G]], frontman for the rap group [[Wikipedia:Digital Underground|Digital Underground]]. He also raps a couple lines from their biggest hit song, "The Humpty Dance," substituting his own name for Humpty Hump's.
*The joke involving The Cheat consuming Pop Rocks and soda is a reference to [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm an urban legend] that states that Mikey, the [[Wikipedia:Life (cereal)|Life cereal]] mascot, died when consuming Pop Rocks and soda caused his stomach to explode.
*When you drag the pumpkin onto Pom Pom and the Poopsmith, the music that is played is from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda games]], usually when you unlock something (like blowing up a wall with a bomb, thus creating a door). The particular sound music they use in the toon is from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|"A Link to the Past"]].
*Ronnie Pudding, the first name on Strong Bad's list of houses to egg, is the name of [[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap's]] first bassist.
*Strong Bad greets you with "Where in the world is my candy?" while in the Carmen Sandiego costume. This is because Carmen Sandiego comes from a TV show and computer game called [[Wikipedia:List of Carmen Sandiego products#Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?|"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"]]
*Strong Sad's comment on receiving the [[Wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell's soup]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] (whom Strong Sad is dressed as) series of paintings ''Campbell's Soup''.
*"Please baby, please baby, baby baby please" is a reference to Mars Blackmon's (whom Bubs is dressed up as) exact same line in [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0091939/ She's Gotta Have It].
*The skull's line at the end when you hold the mouse pointer over it ("Get offa me") is a quote from Murray, the Demonic Talking Skull from the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|''Monkey Island'']] games.
*Homsar's greeting is a play on [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy's]] famous line "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
*Homestar's greeting is sung to the tune of (and is a play on) the theme song to the TV show [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].
*Marzipan may have dressed up as Joey Ramone in tribute, as Joey Ramone had died earlier that year.
*[[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] was a famous jazz bandleader and singer whose career spanned many years.
*Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the [[Wikipedia:Spanish Inquisition|"Spanish Inquisition"]] is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]] [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|sketch of the same name]] in which [[Wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]], [[Wikipedia:Terry Jones|Terry Jones]], and [[Wikipedia:Terry Gilliam|Terry Gilliam]] were dressed in similar costumes.
**It is interesting to think that this tells us two things: not only did ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'' air on TV in Free Country USA, but Homestar himself has watched it.
*The Poopsmith holding up a sign due to his inability to talk (or his vow of silence) is reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote of [[Wikipedia:Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes]] fame.
* The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is an obvious reference to the show [[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|"Pokémon,"]] where one character, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]], has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, [[Wikipedia:Pikachu|Pikachu]]!"
* The subject line of the email when the Poopsmith is chosen for best costume, Teddy Poopspin, references [[Wikipedia:Teddy Ruxpin|Teddy Ruxpin]], a popular toy from the 80's.

'''MIKE:''' Hi! ''{catches a football tossed at him}'' I'm Mike Chapman from homestarrunner.com! People are all the time asking me "Mike, how do you do those stupid voices for your dumb animal characters?" and I say "I'm Mike! Matt does the voices!" Let's go!

''{cut to outside a closed wooden door. Mike looks at the camera and nods knowingly, then knocks on the door}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt! It's Mike!

''{We can hear some noise from inside. Mike opens the door and we hear Matt saying some weird sound effects into a microphone. Nearby are some keyboards and computer equipment.}''

'''MIKE:''' Cut!

''{Matt now notices Mike, and stands up.}''

'''MATT:''' Hey!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, I was just telling the guys how you do the voices for homestarrunner.com

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah! The website!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

''{Mike tosses the football to Matt, who catches it. The camera starts to follow Matt as he walks to the right}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah! Uh, well, you know, it's kind of an industry secret, so we keep them here under lock and key. Uh, let me just—do you have the key, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{Mike gives Matt a key, and Matt "unlocks" a cabinet door (or rather, makes a sound effect implying it's been unlocked). The camera angle shifts so that it's behind Mike and Matt. We can see wire boxes full of material, an old Compy 386-style computer on top of the cabinet, and a huge cork board with hair metal band photos on it. Matt produces a briefcase from inside the cabinet and sets it on top}''

'''MATT:''' So here it is.

''{The camera cuts closer to the briefcase. Matt opens it to reveal cardboard tubes with the names of the characters written on them. Matt takes one out labeled "Homestar Runner"}''

'''MATT:''' Hey, Mike. ''{starts talking into it, the Homestar voice comes out}'' Oh hello, Mike! Check me out!

'''MIKE:''' Easy there, Homestar!

'''MATT:''' Hahaha, ''{suddenly shifts tone to dead seriousness}'' stop the camera.

''{The camera cuts now to Mike, then pans back to Matt}''

'''MIKE:''' So if that's how you do Homestar Runner, how about the King of Town?

'''MATT:'''Good question, Mike. ''{takes out the cardboard tube labeled The King of Town}'' The King of Town is a little more difficult. I have to employ a little of ''this'' strategy... ''{Matt puts the tube up to his mouth and one hand on the other end of the tube to act as a mute. The King of Town voice comes out}'' Dooooo hoo hoooo! I'm so hungry! I want a lot of food items!

'''MIKE:''' ''{just off-camera}'' Wow, that's impressive. ''{camera puts him back in frame}'' The King likes food, doesn't he?

''{Matt laughs a little. Cut to Matt sitting at his computer workstation. Coach Z and Strong Mad are on the screen. Matt hits a button the keyboard, puts a Coach Z cardboard tube up to his mouth, and turns to the microphone}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Coach Z voice}'' Hey Strong Mad, you're doin' a great joraerb there! ''{quick switches the tube out for a Strong Mad tube, producing the Strong Mad voice}'' I DON'T HAVE A JOB! ''{switch}'' I say ya done a groot joob! ''{switch}'' YOU'RE A GROOT JOOB! ''{switch}'' Björn Borg! ''{switch}'' RAAAAH! ''{switch}'' Where's th—''{switch}'' RAAAH! ''{switch}'' fjords? ''{switch}'' RAAAAHHH!

''{Cut to Mike, who is standing by the briefcase}''

'''MIKE:''' That's great for you, Matt, ''{takes a cardboard tube labeled "Strong Bad"}'' but what happens if '''''I''''' use one of these things? ''{puts the tube up to his mouth, and the Powered By The Cheat version of Strong Bad comes out}'' I think this is sounding pretty good.

''{Mike puts the tube down, and grabs the King of Town cardboard tube to put up to his mouth}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Powered by the Cheat KoT}'' I'm the King of Town!

''{Mike grabs the Strong Mad and Homsar tubes, puts them end to end, and produces an awful racket before pulling them away from his lips}''

'''MIKE:''' What happened?

''{Cut to Mike leaning on a stacked-up amp}''

'''MATT:''' ''{offscreen}'' I was really, really unhappy with what you did. I—I thought it was terrible.

'''MIKE:''' I didn't do it.

''{Cut to Mike sitting on the cabinet}''

'''MIKE:''' Now this one REALLY creeps me out!

''{Pan to Matt at the computer workstation, wearing Missy's glasses and hairband, and speaking into a Marzipan tube}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Marzipan voice}'' And then I went to the STORE, and then I punched somebody in the face, and then I picked a flower, and then... I did something else and then I blew my nose.

''{Cut back to Mike leaning on the amps. He now has a white phone in his shirt's breast pocket. Mike makes a fake ringing noise, and "answers" the phone}''

'''MIKE:''' Hello?

''{The phone REALLY starts ringing. Matt and Mike start laughing. The frame "jumps"}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, some trucker wants to know how you do the voices for those terrible old-timey cartoons you're always making.

''{The camera pans to Matt}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, that's a great question, Mike. What we had to do with THAT was jury-rig a little sample of style. ''{grabs a styrofoam cup with "Old Timey Filter" written on it.}'' Take a simple voice like, say, Strong Bad ''{takes the Strong Bad tube from the briefcase}'' and add the Old Timey Filter onto it. ''{Matt holds the cup to the end of the tube}'' Let's see what we get. ''{Matt starts speaking into the tube, producing Sir Strong Bad}'' I'll give you old-timey, you mountebank!

'''MIKE:''' Excuse me?

''{Matt starts laughing evilly}''

'''MIKE:''' Fresh!

''{Matt keeps laughing, until finally Mike tackles him}''

'''MATT:''' Oh I'm sorry Mike!

''{Cut to Mike looking around confusedly. We can hear The Cheat noises being made}''

'''MIKE:''' Where is that coming from?

''{More The Cheat noises. Mike looks over to the side, and the camera focuses on what he looked at; a Kick the Cheat doll.}''

'''MIKE:''' What?

''{The Cheat noises}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{poking the doll}'' Are you talking, little guy?

''{More The Cheat noises. Mike looks behind him}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Matt!

''{Camera pans to Matt, holding up a short cardboard tube with The Cheat written on it, and making more The Cheat noises. Cut to Matt holding up what appears to be two cardboard tubes end to end.}''

'''MATT:''' OK, ready!

''{The camera zooms out, and we can see that Mike is helping hold up more, so it looks like all of the tubes have been combined into one big mega tube. Matt speaks into the tube}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Stinkoman voice}'' '''''DOUBLE DEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE''''' gah!

''{Matt catches his breath. Cut to Matt and Mike standing near the briefcase again.}''

'''MIKE:''' I want to do another one, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Nah, that's all the time we've got for today, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' No, seriously!

''{Matt and Mike start scuffling over one of the tubes, resulting in the tube becoming mangled. We can see that it was labeled "Bubs"}''

'''MATT:''' Great. Now we have to kill off Bubs. Just like Homeschool Winner.

''{Matt throws the mangled tube at Mike angrily, hitting him}''

'''MATT:''' I'm outta here.

''{Matt walks off in a huff. Mike picks up the mangled tube and talks into it}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Powered by The Cheat Bubs}'' My name's Bubs! This is my regulah voice! ''{stops talking into it and shrugs}'' Sounds good to me.

''{The screen fades to a cartoon tombstone, reading as follows:}''

<pre>
BUBS
19?8–2004

"That'll be
five dollars."

== Fun Facts ==
*The character voices were accomplished by overdubbing the character dialogue later.
*TBC have a mousepad from [[They Might Be Giants]]' [http://store.yahoo.com/tmbg-catalog/ online store], specifically the one with the log design.
*The tombstone at the end is a reference to the end of [[replacement]].
*The [[Homeschool Winner]] quip is an obvious jab at how various H*R fansites have made such a big deal out of such an obscure character.
*It turns out, in [[virus]], that Bubs hasn't been killed off after all. That e-mail was made not too long after the DVD was released.
*This is the first time we hear the 'Powered by the Cheat' version of The King of Town.
*Björn Borg is a famous Swedish tennis player, most well known for defeating John McEnroe to win the 1980 Wimbledon Cup.
*The football may be a reference to the time when TBC met [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_Eric Emotion Eric], in a rather twisted version of football.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bored...</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Does it ever get boring where you live? Right now I am 
bored out of my mind. 
 
With lots of crap, 
Callie, Lake Jackson, TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Strobah" in place of "Strongbad," "groan" in place of "crap," and pronounces "TX" as "[[Wikipedia:Tejas|Tejas]]".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, you're bored out of your mind, eh? Well, you've come to the right place. Let's see what I...can do...about...that. ''{really draws "that" out, like "thaaaaaahhht"}''

''{Strong Bad exits stage left, and the screen zooms out on the Lappy. It then shows Bubs' face from very close up, and zooms out to show Bubs looking at the side of his concession stand while Strong Bad joins him. All the dialogue until Strong Sad's line is said at an exaggeratedly slow pace.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs! What craziness...is going on... over here?

''{short pause}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Strong Bad! ''{Strong Bad begins to slowly look towards Bubs}'' You startled me! I was just counting the bricks on this side of the building! I'm up to two hundred forty-eight!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two hundred and forty-eight! That's just a little less than two fifty!

'''BUBS:''' Yep! I remember learning that in school!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, take care... Bubs. I'm gonna take real, ''{camera zooms in on Strong Bad's mouth}'' real ''{camera moves back}'' tiny steps on over to The Stick. ''{exits stage right — very slowly}''

''{another short pause}''

'''BUBS:''' Be's careful!

''{The screen cuts to a closeup behind Bubs, then cuts with Bubs slightly further across on the wall, counting bricks. Cut to Strong Bad, still walking in tiny steps, approaching Homestar Runner standing by the Stick. Homestar isn't blinking, and his mouth is open.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you... um... doing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm practicing... closing... my eyes. I'm not very... good... at it... though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I see.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' More like... ''I'' see. [[#Footnotes|1]]

''{Close up on Homestar closing his eyes slowly, eventually closing them completely}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! There we go! Now I see what all the fuss is about! ''{opens eyes}'' Oops, I lost it. ''{Bubs enters from stage left}''

'''BUBS:''' Two hundred and ninety-six!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow. [[#Footnotes|2]] 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Wow! 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's just a little less... than three hundred!

'''ALL:''' I remember learning that in school!

''{Strong Sad suddenly jumps in under the influence of caffeine, accompanied by the background music of the "Da Sturge" radio station, interrupting "school" as flames burst on the sides of the screen for a split second.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wah-wah-wah-wait! You guys! You guys! I struck gold on the alien spaceship—I think it gave me super powers, there were wood-davers everywhere!

''{record scratching noise cuts back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, Jackson, as you can plainly see, things move a mile a minute 'round her'. Except for that Strong Sad. That guy's a real bore. And quite a fan of Danish physicist Niels Bohr. The most aptly named of all Danish physicists. So, I hope I bored you back into your mind. And I don't mean 'bored into your mind' like REEER! Pssh pssh! ''{typed as "(awesome drilling some brains sound)"}''. That's gross. But if you're still bored, sit back, relax, and prepare to experience the fury of... me naming all the three letter words I can think of. ''{Strong Bad makes an imitation of a walkie-talkie click, then clears his throat and brings up new screen}'' Cat. The. Lob. Irk. Try. Wet. Cod. For. Her. Ebb. Egg. Goo. Elk. Ilk. ''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}'' Dog. Fat. Pat. Spy. Get. Sat. Sit. ''{screen dims}'' Wow. Man. ''{After a few seconds, the screen comes back up with many more words typed as Strong Bad continues to list words}'' Huh. Not. Sty. Eye. Pie. Tug. Gut. Gun. Sap. Asp. Pus. Job —

'''COACH Z:''' ''{record scratching noise, then from offscreen:}'' I gotta stop you there, Strong Bad. I'm pretty sure "jorb" is a four letters word.

=== Footnotes ===
#''This line could be "More like I see," (meaning that Homestar can see because he can't shut his eyes) or "More like 'eye' see," (a simple pun).''
#''This could be "Whoa."''

==Easter Eggs==
* Click on "[[Wikipedia:Niels Bohr|Niels Bohr]]" to see a signed picture of him addressed to Strong Sad.
** The autograph reads<blockquote>yo yo, S² you're not BOHRN yet! ha ha!! —Nilly `16</blockquote>
* At the end, click on "try, wet, cod" for an image of a fish on notebook paper, with the text "Try wet cod!!! (Please, oh, please)".
* Click on "err" for a comic book drawing of Strong Bad and The Cheat.
** The comic book drawing is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Groo the Wanderer|Groo the Wanderer]], written and drawn by Sergio Aragonés. Groo, a stupid barbarian who often makes mistakes, has the catch phrase "Did I err?".
* Click on "old, bag" to see a short scene at a party thrown by the King of Town.
*: ''{Pom Pom, the King of Town, the Poopsmith, and Homsar are standing in the King's castle with two of Pom Pom's girls. Two bags marked "[[The_King_Of_Town%27s_Food|PORK RAMBLINS]]" and "[[The_King_Of_Town%27s_Food|PORK SNAGGLINS]]" can be seen in the foreground. "It's the Weekend" (from [[montage]]) can be heard in the background, as the party guests make a poor and somewhat unintelligible attempt at singing along.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Strong Bad's list of [[Wikipedia:List_of_three-letter_English_words|3-letter words]]===
<blockquote class="lappy email" style="width:525px">

* Note that "man" is listed twice (On the second line, third word from the right, and on the sixth line, second word from the right).
* The word "use" is also listed twice (On the third line, seventh word from the left, and on the seventh line, third word from the right).
* There is no comma after "dew" (last word on second line).

===Inside References===
*One of the three-letter words Strong Bad types is "sbu", which is a reference to [[lunch special]].
*Strong Bad says "Prepare to experience the fury of... me naming all the three letter words I can think of." in his tour guide voice from [[theme park]], from which the first half of said line was taken. He ends with the sound of the microphone clicking off, also heard in theme park.
*Strong Sad's hyperactivity, twitching eye and mention of [[wood-davers]] are references to [[caffeine]].
**This scene also re-uses the Deathly Pallor music from [[radio]].
**In addition, the fireworks that go off in the background are similar in shape, but not color, to those in [[Main Page 12]]
*Coach Z's comment on "jorb" being a four-letter word is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]].

Wood-davers

Ironcladlou — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 17:59:41 GMT

[[Image:wood-daver.jpg|thumb|A wood-daver, possibly]]

'''Wood-davers''' are the arts and crafts project proposed by [[Strong Sad]], in the email "[[caffeine]]". He mentions them again in [[boring (really)]].

It is suspected that a wood-daver is a birdfeeder commonly made in Girl/Boy Scouts, where one puts peanut butter on a pinecone and rolls it in birdseed.

'''"You wanna make some wood davers with me? I got pinecones, I got peanut butter!"'''

'''"Wah-wah-wah-wait! You guys! You guys! I struck gold on the alien spaceship - I think it gave me super powers, there were wood davers everywhere!"'''

== Whoa ==

Strong Bad must have not gotten ANY good emails when they made this one. [[User:68.215.185.76|68.215.185.76]] 12:37, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== "Seems to be the e-mail?" ==

From the summary: "This seems to be the email when the Tandy experienced its explosion."

I think it's pretty darn certain that the Tandy exploded in this e-mail. (I changed it already.) --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 14:38, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

That happened to my little TV once, only it didn't explode.... The screen just warped and it shut off, only the power light was still on, and there was a barely discernible squeal with a burning electronic smell in the air.....--[[User:Everybody!|Everybody!]]

'''Soolnds''' are the preferred term for [[Strong Sad]]'s peculiar feet. They were named in Strong Sad's [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]] entry of August 12th, 2004 whereas until then they were referred to as being kind of like "elephant feet." An overheard phone conversation with [[Strong Bad]] in [[50 emails]] has him plotting the sale of these feet for $50.

The imaginary [[Made Up Strong_Bad_Animals#El_Pardack|El Pardack]] sports a Soolnd arm, and [[The Cheat]] can impersonate Strong Sad's left Soolnd so well he has won the [[Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] several times.

[[Image:original1936strongsad.PNG|thumb|Cannon-blasting action!]]
'''Sickly Sam''' is the [[1936]] version of [[Strong Sad]]. He is a skeleton wearing a [[Potate]] sack. When he's denied what he needs (which is often), he turns into a cloud of dust. His left foot is colder than his right. None of the other characters seem to like him.

Another 1936 version of Strong Sad, which looks much more similar to the modern Strong Sad, appears being blasted out of a circus tent on [[Main Page 10]]. However, since this predates Parsnips-A-Plenty, it is clear that that design was scrapped in favor of Sickly Sam.

Ironcladlou: SPELLING'd!

Hear a word on Homestarrunner.com and have no idea what in the world it means? Here is a great place to find what you're looking for. Also, [[Inside Jokes]] might help. If a word is linked, click on the link to find out more information.

Note: Most of these aren't real words, and exist only in the H*R Universe.

__NOTOC__
{{compactTOC3}}
== # ==
'''[[20X6]]''': Pronounced ''twenty-exty-six'', this is possibly the eventual future of Free Country, USA, it's the hometime of [[Stinkoman]]. It's also [[The Brothers Chaps]]' way of parodying the Megaman series, which takes place during 20XX, as well as anime in general.

'''[[404'd | 404'd!]]''': Something that happens when you type in something Homestar-related that doesn't exist.

== A ==
'''ARROWED!''': Something that happens to the [[Teen Girl Squad]], in which The Man With The Huge Mouth spits arrows out of his mouth at [[The Ugly One]]. It also happens to Trogdor in the [[TROGDOR!]] game. You also get ARROWED in [[Peasant's Quest]] if you walk in front of the archer in the hidden glen, and the [[Kerrek]] gets ARROWED when you shoot him. (See also: SWORDED!).

'''Atari 2600''': A video game system, parodied time and time again in [[Homestar Runner]]. Early uses include [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]] and [[Main Page 13]]. A console also appears on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].

'''Awexome''': Like awesome, but more so. See [[Awexome Cross]].

'''All up ons''': It means the ladies really like something.

== B ==
'''BALEETED!''': Another way to say "deleted". From [[50 emails]], in which Homestar can't spell "deleted".

'''Bumdumbourge''': Strong Bad's native country, near Totalslava, where live his Poopaw and the age-old recipe for cooking the Chekt. Referred to in [[secret recipes]].

'''Burninate''': [[Trogdor]]'s fire breathing ability as seen in the TROGDOR! video game.

'''Brothers Strong''': Brothers [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] and [[Strong Sad]].

== C ==
'''CEREBELLUM'D!''': [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] attacks [[Cheerleader]] with a giant brain with an eye patch.

'''CGNU''': [[Crazy Go Nuts University]]. A school that [[Strong Bad]] created. AKA "see gee in you".

'''CHALLENGE!!!''': A favorite word (and pastime) of Stinkoman.

The '''Chekt:''' An animal invented by Strong Bad. Strong Bad's poopaw supposedly has a receipe for "Chicken-fried the CHEKT". In reality, Strong Bad has a secret family recipe for cooking The Cheat. See [[secret recipes]].

'''CHILDREN'D!''': Another [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] attack. He says it when he ran over [[So and So]]'s New Boyfriend with a van with "CHILDREN!" written on the side.

'''...comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!''': Phrase used anytime someone describes a dragon, especially Trogdor. Put the name of the thing before "comes". Originally from [[guitar]].

'''Crap''': It's the word that Strong Bad likes to hear himself say, but not hear other people say. It can also be changed to be '''Crapful''', '''Crapfully''', '''Crappy''', '''Crap-for-brains''' and various other words. See "Holy Crap".

== D ==
''''D!''': Popular ending to attacks etc. See ARROW'D!, CHILDREN'D!, MSG'D!, CEREBELLUM'D!, SAILING MISHAP'D!, LATE 360 SHOVE-IT TO BONELESS'D!, TWO'D!, FLOOR TOMMED!, STEP-MOMMED!, POM-POMMED?, TWELVE-SIDED DIE'D!, SWORD'D!, etc.

'''Dag yo''': The equivalent of saying "Dang, man" or something close to that. Used in [[comic]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].

'''Dee''': The D on [[Coach Zed]]'s medallion.

'''[[DELETED]]!!!''': [[Strong Bad]]'s preferred method of dealing with E-mails unworthy of his attention, or ones he wishes to make examples of.

'''[[DELORTED]]!!!''': [[Coach Z]]'s Pronunciation of 'DELETED!!!'. Seen in [[replacement]]. Screen turns dark gold, as opposed to the usual blue.

'''Denny's Menu''': This is the title of the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu page, where [[Strong Bad]] (occasionally accompanied by another character) does his Email Raps.

'''Doppy''': According to TV Time Magazine, Homestar and Company eat pie and get doppy. The term is never fully explained. It's unclear whether "getting doppy" is a result of eating pie or a separate activity. See [[Toons Menu]].

'''Dumples''': The name of [[Crazy Go Nuts University]]'s sports teams. The CGNU mascot is [[The Jolly Dumple]].

== E ==
'''Easter egg''': A hidden feature in a website (they also appear elsewhere, such as DVDs and games). Authors put them in as inside jokes, or to reward especially dedicated visitors/viewers/players (or just the ones with the most spare time). Most [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]] have at least one easter egg, as do other parts of the site.
